RAN article

HI! I am the guy that wantonly and callously cut large swaths of your editing rainforest to the ground. I may have been grumpy, I may have been out of line, or I may have had low blood sugar. I am certainly no nitpicker, and I spend zero time waggling my finger at semantic arguments. It didn't sound right to me, which is a matter of opinion.... you cleared it up in a friendly and straight forward manner.. and I thank you. Restore it. I am so NOT a wikipedia expert, and actually as much as I would like to contribute there is an elitism here that is daunting, and the walls of nebulous acceptable practice are frustrating and arbitrary. So ... apologies! I won't bother it again. I know what it's like when people keep editing your work. UGH. BE WELL! Unclefishbits (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:08, 26 May 2011 (UTC).

Sockpuppetry suspicion

Hello. You're being supected of sockpuppetry; see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mattisse. HeyMid (contribs) 22:28, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what this means, or where it came from. I definitely have only ever edited Wikipedia using this account. Please explain what this means. CircleAdrian (talk) 00:57, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

• To answer your question at my talk page: it is considered a great courtesy to notify users being discussed or, as in this case, suspected of sockpuppetry; it allows users to comment and/or defend themselves or give their thoughts about the subject in question. I had nothing to do with that Sockpuppet Investigation; it was filed by a user named TCO. Here is the investigation in question. I simply have the page watchlisted, meaning that I can see any recent edits to that page. You were ultimately determined not to be a sockpuppet, and I do not think you are a sockpuppet either. In other words, the sockpuppetry suspicions have been cleared, and you can go on editing. I do not have much else to say about this. If you have any further questions I suggest you contact TCO. Cheers, HeyMid (contribs) 12:13, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
• Thank you very much - that was exactly what I wanted to hear. CircleAdrian (talk) 16:07, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Your Econ sidebar proposal

Hello, AC. I would like to comment on your thorough discussion of the above at the talk page there, but I'm going to try addressing a somewhat prolonged problem in the current sidebar there first.

I'm afraid my thinking is along the different lines from yours, but I'd at least like to address the issue you raise. Best wishes, Thomasmeeks (talk) 16:53, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

National Convention#Elections POV-statement

Hi, I am not sure about meaning of POV in this case. This statement is from J. M. Thomson (refs is given) and some what close note from "revisionist" Furet. Different views on a whole such as Thompson and Furet agree on minority usage. And the whole paragraph is an explanation as to the election which did represented the whole of France as popular, but anyway it was a minority of the vote - 10%. It is about National Convention as a whole and minority of the vote, nothing to say that either group, Girondins or Montagnards represented even less. Another point was about resentment against predominance of Paris, which Girondins stressed over and over, as being 1/83 departmental minority. And these minorities really carried the revolution. BTW because of that there was Jacobin dictatorship of Committees and application of Terror. Because of that the Constitution of 1793 was suspended. Different examples from different times: minority puritans in English Civil War, bolsheviks in Russian revolutions... What do you think? --Nivose (talk) 01:31, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

The issue to me is the second half of that paragraph, but especially the note. If this is something that someone else has stated in a source, then to me you have to present it as their view ("Thompson argues that..." or what have you) — my issue is that both the paragraph and the note are phrased as if it's your own opinion that you're presenting, rather than someone else's. It's not necessarily a POV/NPOV issue, but that tag fit it best. --CircleAdrian (talk) 03:17, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Well, then I don't understand meaning of refs. Ref. points to Thompson, when one can find it "word in word". On the other hand if I put "Thompson argues that...", it means that some other historian "argues" something different or opposite. But there are none as note from Furet shows. And this is not point of view, not mine or Thompson's - it is a fact, following from the first "Elections" paragraph with numbers. Should I place "Dupuy argues..." after "Therefore the impact of the universal suffrage had very little effect." in first paragraph or after "On the whole, electorate had returned the same sort of men that the active citizens had chosen in 1791."? In this article I avoided presenting contradicting viewpoints of the historians. And if there are, I would certainly put them in notes with presenting both. Let say I write about Alliende elections like "Allende won the 1970 Chilean presidential election as leader of the Unidad Popular ("Popular Unity") with narrow plurality of 36.2 percent to 34.9 percent over Jorge Alessandri and 27.8 percent going to a third candidate (Radomiro Tomic) of the Christian Democratic Party (PDC)". This looks fine. But if I state that Alliende won with minory vote, this somehow becomes POV. And again there is no opinion of mine in this article; if there is a ref, it is from RS "word in word". In French Revolution actual page and majority related articles refs are misrepresented or just plain wrong or don't not exist in the source they are pointed to. In this article I tried to present this history in some semblance to actual events. --Nivose (talk) 06:48, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Okay, revert my edit if you want. Whatever. But I don't think you necessarily do understand the meaning of references. The difference between the example that you're giving about Allende and the example in the National Convention article is that saying that Allende won the vote with a minority of the vote (while possibly a POV statement in a given article, depending on the context) is a description of what happened, while "there is no good reason to doubt that they represented the will of the five million Frenchmen" is editorializing. Who says there's no good reason to doubt that? Is it something you say? Is it something that Wikipedia, as some vast amorphous authoritative source, says? Or is it something that Thompson says? Because if the latter, then you should state that explicitly, by saying something like "Thompson argues that..." at the beginning of it.

Also, if your quote is coming from another source "word for word," then it should be inside quotation marks — to do otherwise is to expose Wikipedia to charges of plagiarizing. That includes if it's in a note (note 1 is incredibly unclear in that sense — who is making the statement in note 1?).

That, and I completely don't understand what you're saying when you say that, when you say that "there is no good reason to doubt that they represented the will of the five million Frenchmen" or "majorities begin revolutions; minorities carry them on," there's no need to attribute these words to Thompson because "[no] other historian 'argues' something else... as note from Furet shows." First, I have no idea how you're getting that from the note from Furet; second, I have no idea how you could possibly defend such an incredibly broad statement. There must be literally thousands of professional historians who have written about the French Revolution; you're quoting two of them. Any statement you make without attribution needs to be completely backed up by your source; if it isn't, it's POV. --CircleAdrian (talk) 23:37, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

• From Help:Referencing "By citing sources for Wikipedia content, you enable users to verify that the information given is supported by reliable sources, thus improving the credibility of Wikipedia while showing that the content is not original research. You also help users find additional information on the subject; and you avoid plagiarising the source of your words or ideas by giving attribution.
  In particular, sources are required for material that is challenged or likely to be challenged – if reliable sources cannot be found for challenged material, it is likely to be removed from the article. Sources are also required when quoting someone, with or without quotation marks, or closely paraphrasing a source. However, the citing of sources is not limited to those situations – editors are always encouraged to add or improve citations for any information contained in an article." --
  I bring example of Thompson and Furet because these historians from opposite schools (so personally I don't find them so opposite) agree on the same question. The same goes from chosen cited paragraphs in the article... "literally thousands of professional historians who have written about the French Revolution". Well, there are literally thousands of professional physicists out there, but only one Newton and one Einstein. One has to know the field well to know who is who. By reading the article you can decide if it is written on the basis of really RS --Nivose (talk) 15:50, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Friend, you don't get to decide which sources are authoritative & which ones aren't.

• That's why English Wiki French Revolution is not article about French Revolution :)) All the best. --Nivose (talk) 17:36, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Also, the quote that you give is referring to not using quotation marks in instances where you're paraphrasing someone else's quote, not quoting it directly. A direct, word-for-word quote always needs to be inside quotation marks. --CircleAdrian (talk) 16:57, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi there. You uploaded File:Richard D. Wolff.jpg with Richard D. Wolff as source and author. Do you have the rights to that image? Did Wolff give it to you?

Translation

Hello CirceAdrian, could you please help me in understanding or translating of a phrase from English to German? I have noticed from your user page that you are able to communicate in German on an advanced level.

In a BBC article ([1]) I read that John Boehner called Donald Trump a "texting buddy". How did he mean this? What did he mean with "texting"? Is it that what we know from SMS messages?

I would be grateful for a short answer. --Furfur ^{⁂ Diskussion} 18:04, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Republican Party presidential primaries, 2016

I have repaired your cut-n-paste page move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Ludwig Fleck Prize a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Ludwik Fleck Prize. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:52, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
