Ulex Europaeus (Gorse)

I'm sort of new to this whole editing wikipedia thing. I left a source in my edit summary but didn't put one in as a in-page note because I simply don't know how. Here's that source again: http://www.seedaholic.com/ulex-europaeus-gorse.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.244.219 (talk) 14:24, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

It may be a source, but it's not a reliable source. IronGargoyle (talk) 20:59, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Organizational project management

IronGargoyle, you reversed an edit to the page "Organizational project management" and asked for discussion of the matter on your talk page. Indeed the term "Organizational Project Management" should be capitalized as it refers to a formal system of specific and named processes codified as a standard by PMI and ISO. The term does not merely denote project management that is done in organizations, as the uncapitalized "Organizational project management" would suggest. Indeed "Organizational Project Management" (OPM) is a strategy execution framework, and people are certified in this framework and methods for assessing its development within organizations. In other words, it is a proper noun. Please reinstate the edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.160.227.228 (talk • contribs)

I see your argument, but it's not capitalized in this journal article that discusses it. IronGargoyle (talk) 23:08, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

That journal article you have referenced is a secondary source. The primary source is PMI's Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3), published by PMI and accredited by the International Standard Organization. Indeed the wiki page clarifies that the term "Organizational Project Management" denotes the PMI standard, where "Organizational Project Management" is capitalized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.160.227.228 (talk • contribs)

Secondary sources are preferred to primary sources, so it should remain uncapitalized I think. IronGargoyle (talk) 20:58, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Sir, the term was invented in the primary source, and the secondary source you refer to does not even pertain principally to the topic in question. Your secondary source is a journal article about the history of Project Management Organizations (PMO's), which is quite distinct from Organizational Project Management (OPM). It is absurd to suggest that this journal article (which was written by two authors) is definitive for the term when the term was created through a rigorous standards-setting protocol sanctioned by the International Standard Organization (ISO) involving hundreds of people across 35 countries five years prior to the publishing of this other journal article. If you do not appreciate this distinction, one must question your credentials in this topic. It is not appropriate for you to unilaterally overturn the judgement of thousands of experts. Indeed this appears to be an issue of disambiguation. "Organizational project management" is generic, whereas "Organizational Project Management" is a proper noun, and everyone doing work in this field professionally knows this. In fact, this was reinforced by a certification created by the Project Management Institute. Please revert the pages. "Organizational project management" is the same thing as "Project Management" or "project management." By contrast, "Organizational Project Management" is the systematic combination of project, program, and portfolio management.

Revert on 'St. Leon'

Hi there, I have written the plot summary sections for all but the first of Godwin's novels and am now editing them down on the advice of The Banner (editor). Is it possible we can revert back to my shorter version? I think The Banner is right and these are too long. Many thanks.User:Pineapple271

Edit on page 'Christadelphians'

Hi I'm enquiring about your recent edit on this aforementioned page specifically your revert in the introduction. This material, although sourced, was removed due to it being inappropriate for the introduction of this article as it is discussed later in a more appropriate section. A section in the talk page on this has now been started highlighting the issues of the content you reverted. Would you be able to constructively engage in this discussion on the talk page in this section now that you have republished this material? Many thanks Lintonna (talk) 17:39, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Edit on 4 May 2015

I made that edit precisely because IT was not neutral. Did you look at the comment I left along with my change? If you seek neutrality, then you have to welcome the opinion on wiki of EVERY person who disagrees with the film (wouldn't that be tiresome and pointless). I have no problem with people having a political difference with a film, but I do not believe that this one was A. founded in reality, or B. unbiased. The section was not neutral and was representing a trivial disagreement made by politicized parties who do not wish to see ANY slight upon their opinions or people. If you accept that section, you must just as well accept the cries of people who claim The Avengers is anti-Scandinavian, or Independence Day promotes anti-immigration policies (those are stretches to make my point). There has to be a standard of quality and/or level of relevance to make edits to wiki articles. I do not believe the comments from a small group of pro-Israel lobbyists (I am very supportive of Israel, this is not a religious or political thing for me) meets the criteria for objective or relevant/important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.225.111.74 (talk) 02:35, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

The criticism section was sourced to reliable sources. The tone of the article didn't endorse that criticism, it simply stated that the criticism was there. IronGargoyle (talk) 21:46, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Edit on 8 May 2015

I'm really sorry I removed the Gatwick-Reno/Tahoe service as it has been scrapped due to problems with the facilities at Reno Airport. No one has ever queried my editing before so I did not realise I had to provide a source when removing something. I'm glad you pointed it out though! I do a lot of editing on airport pages to give up to date passenger statistics (Luton, Manchester, Edinburgh) and add new air routes that have been announced (sorry, bit of self-promo!). I would be more than happy if you could point out mistakes that I might make in the future to make my editing better. Thanks, Rhys

Hi. I saw that you just warned User:24.123.85.110 about unconstructive editing and also noticed that after you blocked this editor for 31 hours on 1/30/15, he or she was again blocked on 2/7/15 and, after that block expired, was subsequently warned 4 more times about vandalizing before your most recent warning.

Regarding moving my edit.My family was the one who owned the land that Barth stole it from. They were Sephardic Jewish people who received a land grant bY Queen Isabella. We stumbled upon this article today. It is totally incorrect. The Barth brothers were bullies and wanted my Great Great Great Grandfathers land and almost killed him for it. There is no citation on Wikipedia from where the false information that Barth won enough winnings in a poker game to purchase that land, so I am not sure why my edit is being removed. I'm sorry but one person isn't going to win enough winnings in a poker game to buy 2000 acres of land. That isn't even comprehensible.

It is common knowledge that Mormons stole large portions of land during their settling. My family's land was attempted to be stolen using "Adverse posession" In court 10 years prior but the person trying to steal it at that time lost in court.

When we take them to court for this, and you continue to hold this slander on your webpage of how our land was obtained (STOLEN). I will attempt to sue your page as well. You are supporting anti-semitism and stealing of the Jewish people's land/property.

Studio City Nickname

As a resident of Studio City, I anecdotally know this is a common nickname; however, I can provide the following examples in which this is an unofficial nickname: http://articles.latimes.com/1988-01-05/local/me-33286_1_studio-city-project Deedlethenoble (talk) 22:59, 1 July 2015 (UTC) Deedlethenoble

Your Nepal undo

The change you undid removed duplicated text that appeared leftover from an earlier edit to reorganize the content of the page. It was a verbatim copy of text from earlier in the article. This was described in the history as well through the title "removed duplicated content". Perhaps you should consider more careful evaluation of changes before you revert them. Behavior such as yours discourages new editors from creating accounts and staying involved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.227.152 (talk) 22:22, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

DraftKings article

Hi - I created the DraftKings article. There's a persistent vandal who keeps putting in external links to his DraftKings account, which I assume is some sort of affiliate thing where he gets a commission for people who sign up. I sent an email to the support desk at DraftKings which I hope they'll see, in case they can identify the person and ask him (or her) to stop. But I also noticed you flagged the article as being advertorial. Besides in the lede statement where it says they are recognized as one of the leaders of the space, which is true and is taken directly from the title of the NY Times article referenced at the bottom, the only other content I can think that would be considered advertising is the content describing the games. But rather than having me assume what you are referring to, please discuss your specific concerns here or on the talk page and let's see what we can do to get the article up to your standards.

Geology of Abu Rawash

Hi. I noticed your revert of User:Hsmbadawy's contribution on Abu Rawash as well as his later reinsertion. There is an issue with the geology section of the page, which is a copypaste of this paper. The problem is, according to Hsmbadawy's username and the improper "tag" he put at the end of the section, he is a coauthor of the copypasted paper. I have no idea how to deal with such cases, but it seemed right to me to notify you about that. Khruner (talk) 22:07, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

It did look like it was lifted from somewhere. Good work tracking down the source. As the editor is a co-author, I doubt said editor has the sole rights to release it. In most cases a solution would be adapt the material and paraphrase with citation, but I'm not sure a conference paper is a sufficiently reliable (or non-primary) source. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:14, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

I think that the user edited the article sometime ago, because it is still a copypaste even without his last change. Look I found it, is the abstract of his 2008 master degree thesis. It is also possible that someone copied that abstract in the article long ago, and the user is simply trying to rivendicate his work. EDIT, drop the last hypothesis, he was already tagging himself in the article in 2008, just checked. Khruner (talk) 22:35, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

blocking for balanced views

I fail to see how putting down facts can be deemed as acts of vandalism. ? You quote details from reliable sources? Are witnesses in a court case not deemed reliable in Wikipedia's opinion? Are witnesses to an event published as fact by newspapers deemed reliable as they form the article written and therefore used by wikipedia. The same goes for TV reports etc. So why are the events by thoses experienced by people such as myself with reliable witnesses not deemed to to be reliable by wikipedia and prevented from being shown.?

I could provide signed statements to support my claim and write a more neutral or balanced view if allowed to do so. clearly someone does not want the truth and facts from being printed/ published. Alleged facts such a those published by wikileaks. Sallybegood (talk) 11:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
