Thanks re Talk:Curation

   At first i overlooked the fact of the precision with which you reverted: you separately remedied the two kinds of damage that a single edit session had created, showing the "keen eye and ... cool hand [that it takes to make] a three-rail billiard shot".
--Jerzyt 17:36, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

   Oh, it comes back to me now, i left out either "and..." or "to...", "... score in a balkline game" ... i guess bcz i have no idea what that phrase means. But i now see that "we have it covered". "Cheerio!"

Graduate of Theology moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Graduate of Theology, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 09:36, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks: Info on Obama conspiracy theories

Obama conspiracy theories talk page, 3 July 2017

You: “Few candidates prior to Obama were ever pushed to prove their citizenship…It turns out that for 2012, the Secretaries of State of at least two states did ask for and receive proof of Obama's citizenship.” - User talk:NapoliRoma

Indeed, as few as zero I recall. Thanks for this item. Birther was the nuttiest media flap I’d seen in 53 years—and Fox, esp. Sean Hannity, just spent wads of air time on it. I made my talk page comment not to re-open Birther, but because rules governing candidate bona fides, not known for clarity, must somehow have allowed the thing to start. Of course, no one’s gonna run for president not a natural-born citizen and pass January, much less November. Yet I thought a section describing those rules worthwhile—I won’t try to write it, as it’s too complex for me.

So please help; why do you think Birther could get on TV? I’m pretty old; TV would not have carried more than 20 minutes on it back in 1972. What’s with media in the Internet dominance era?

If you lack time, where would I find info on how 4chan chitchat can fuel the growth of major media flaps? To me this seems impossible. 4chan is a joke. Jessegalebaker (talk) 17:39, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Re: Your thought on Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories

Hi. You posted on my talk page months ago (almost a year). Sorry to take so long to get back.

I looked at the issue/discussion. It's pointless. To me, the people insisting the theories be labeled as false are no better than the people promoting them. But then, I worked for news organizations when we weren't allowed to make statements such as "President Trump falsely claimed . . . " without a source.

Both sides in this issue are beligerent and wrong, in my opinion. When news organizations and others state there is "no evidence" of something or other what they mean is they don't have any evidence. Obviously they could not have talked to every human on the planet, investigated and read every relevant document, etc. Yet they are happy to say there is "no evidence" of something. This has become a popular way of inserting an opinion disguised as fact. People don't fall for it - yet publishers and Web sites keep doing it.

Bias on one side is no better than bias on the other side. Stating that these theories are false makes Wikipedia appear biased.

I wish you luck.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!
