A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Capital Punishment, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.
How about, instead of changing the first phrase or paragraph (let's call it Mission Impossible 4), we write a section on the roles that each of the three branches have in Death Penalty process?
Also about "imposed by the State", could we possibly change that to "approved by the State" or "used by the State". I believe that imposed is slightly misleading (not that you intetionally want to be).
Another thing: before, you wanted to use "Government", instead of State. I will have to oppose you if you do (but it seems as though you have changed your mind) because "Government" is even more misleading. In certain countries, when you refer to Government (ex: France, Australia, UK or New Zealand) you are actually refering to the equivalent of the "Administration" (in the US) and not the "three branches of Government".
About whether police officers, nurses, etc. are members of, apart of or belong to any branch, I gave the example of France, which does not consider its employees to be apart of any of the three branches, according to one of my teachers, who studied political science in France. Even though France is no longer a rententionist nation, I have very little doubt that even the executioner was not apart of, a member of, or did not belong to the executive branch.
Even though, in the US, police officers, executioners etc. are apart/members of/belong to the executive, you have to concede that their job (the job of executing someone) is done within about an hour (it doesn't take 100 years to kill someone), that's why I believe their role is relatively small, and so is that of the executive (even though most officials involved in the process, in the USA, are apart of the executive: that's my position.
GreatKing 13:10, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Well I'm sure in this section on the role of each branch, we could write something which encompasses most DP states, something like this:
"In most DP states, the executive grants clemency, pardons and can stay the execution; the legislative makes the DP legal; and the judiciary imposes the death sentence and sometimes stays executions."
Of course, we would have to elaborate a whole lot more, I just summarised what I thought was important. Then we could write in each of the page of each particular nation to be more precise about the exact process, as you suggested.
GreatKing 21:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Just one thing, you asked me (on my talk page) whether the act of granting clemency or pardoning proves that the executives' is minimal. Well, in my opinion it is, since clemency or pardon is rarely granted, as you have said many times.
GreatKing 11:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Since the user I wrote the following about decided to blank his talk page, I am putting this up here, so at least my attempt to deal with the problem is recorded.
I decided against posting this on the discussion page because I didn't want to turn the talk page into a personal argument, but the following is your quote,
"I am afraid to say that you have been hypocritical and narrowminded. You mentioned earlier that you want to hear what others have to say, yet you still unilaterally impose your view in the article because only one person agrees with you."
You changed the article to your position after 4 people said you were wrong, and no one else supported your position. If you're going to admonish me for allegedly being a narrowminded hypocrite you should at least try and practice what you preach. Disagreeing with you does not make me narrowminded, changing what I know to be incorrect (after 7 years of higher education and a law degree) does not make me selfish, and saying that I want to hear the opinions of others (all of whom supported my position) hardly makes me a hypocrite. Calling someone someone narrowminded, selfish, and a hypocrite is not "calling a spade a spade." Even to the extent that it is, it's not kind of talk that has any place in a rationale debate. CoolCeasar was wrong to go after you on a personal level, and it detracted from his credibility. It's a shame that you took the same approach.
I am interested in trying to understand your position, and I asked several question which I wonder about your answers to. As I said on the talk page, I used American procedures as an example. You keep saying that other countries do things differently, so which countries handle capital punishment in the way you've suggested? In which country do judges act as executioners? Would you consider the people who actually carry out the execution to have a "minimal" role? Do you suppose that the people who were granted clemency from various executive authorities over the last 10 years would view that act as "minimal?"
You've taken the position that employees of executive agencies are not members of the executive branch. What distinguishes those people from the persons you would consider members of the executive?
You also said that I avoided answering questions or points that you had. If that's true, please consider re-posting them here so I can try and respond to them. JCO312 03:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Looking again, I can't find the example I thought I saw last night. I probably mistook someone else's comment for yours. I was wrong to suggest that you were uncivil. Tom Harrison Talk 12:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Just noticed your requested move. I think Wikicrats (at least some of them) are persnickety about rules. I think you need to add some sort of "tag" at the top of the relevant discussion page, and ask for votes (or opinions) in order for the requested move to be official. I'd do it myself but I'm too uncertain about how WP works to feel comfortable making the needed changes. --Cultural Freedom talk 2006-06-23 10:30 (UTC)
I don't know how to delete the Categories page; I never learned how to use the Categories system. Plus all the links in the United States Attorney would have to be fixed as well. But I agree it should be fixed; that's really confusing to have all those redirects to district court articles. You might want to try the village pump. Good luck! --Coolcaesar 05:16, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I do understand your point of using mansion instead of estate. That would definately work better. I do understnd how Anaheim Hills in the Anaheim Demographic article could come across as POV, and I am not sure that it belongs in the article. I was just pointing out the fact that Anaheim Hills has 3x the median income, and a different racial makeup than the city, and made a notation of that, however, it may come across as POV, and it can be removed.

Opps, you reverted my edit. Hmmm. The guideline state that one should not revert or delet edit on the basis of spelling or grammer. Well, next time, I will add comment for each of my edit. Vapour
Hey there, I just found a mildly out of place AFD notice on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Her! Girl vs Pig. I think you were trying to add Mario Cisternas to the large list of AFDs for today. Step 3 at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list pages for deletion will have the link you need to edit to add it in. Cheers! :) --Brad Beattie (talk) 15:28, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
By all means. Any way I can more people involved in the deletion process, the better. You might want to orient yourself with WP:CSD, WP:NN and WP:NOT. They should give you a better idea of how things are deleted and why. In the case of Mario Cisternas, I believe this article qualifies for speedy deletion as per CSD A7. --Brad Beattie (talk) 15:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
On United States general elections, 2006 you deleted some vandalism, however you should have reverted the edit that inserted the vandalism into the page because the vandal deleted a large section of text and added their vandalism in its place. So simply deleting what the vandal wrote would have the net effect of deleting the good paragraph that was there before the vandal came around. To avoid this check the history of the page when you see vandalism, and revert the page to the last good version. Happy editing. Qutezuce 21:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I guess we both don't have enough to do in the afternoon. Which page was it that we both reverted? --Coemgenus 21:06, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I reverted the edit in which you removed the statement that Lloyd Webber wrote the role of Christine for Sarah Brightman. In the Time Magazine article from the footnote, it is stated:
Lloyd Webber composed the role of Christine with his wife Sarah Brightman's crystalline voice and fragile Pre-Raphaelite looks in mind. Crystallina 21:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Sounds good. Lets get started then. "I'm somewhat familiar with the topic, but my interest here is in dispute resolution, not in seeing a particular result on this article... As such, I don't think it would be appropriate for me to lay out my own personal view on what should happen..." Something to consider: its often fair to state your views upfront. Doing so shows that you are forthright with your views (if you have them). Many choose to simply state their ambiguity, which if true is a rather preferable aspect than someone who holds some bias but doesnt wish to reveal it. As you seem clear on the distinction between the content and the role of mediation, Im more than happy to have you mediate. -Ste|vertigo 01:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I have volunteered to mediate your case. I am not a member of the Mediation Committee, but have some experience conducting mediations. I'll only do so, of course, if all the parties consent. Please indicate on the mediation page whether you agree or not. Cheers, JCO312 00:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Still seems to be working for me. Try messing with it a bit more, and see what happens. Once in awhile, Anti Vandal Bot will get to the article before you press revert, or the page history will not update right away due tos erver delay. Let me know --Tlim7882 10:27, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
This Act is confusing. The 25th Amendment say the President NOT an Acting President can nominate a vice-president. Yet the 1947 Act, says only the Vice President can succeeded to the Presidency (the office). According to the 1947 Act, the USA could go a full 4 years without a President & Vice President. GoodDay 22:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, there. Just wanted to thank you, for the edits on Acting President of the United States & particularily Presidential Succession Act. Until recently (as you know), I mistakenly thought that officials (below the VP) in the succession line, could succeed to the Presidency (the office), instead of only the Presidential powers & duties. These edits to the 2 articles, have removed my previous conceptions of conflict in both articles. I thank you. GoodDay 21:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I see you are doing some good work on articles of interest to me (the judiciary and US political law and organization). Have you looked into Wikipedia:WikiProject Law? One of my long overdue projects is to see that an article is created for every US district court that lists all sitting and former judges of the court, but I never seem to get beyond working on circuit courts. This article was one of my attempts to make the courts more interesting to readers. Well, while I am not succeeding in doing much to improve these areas of Wikipedia, I am glad to find others, such as you, who are toiling away at it. Cheers, NoSeptember 18:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Be careful. You copy/pasted all the content from your reference straight into the Wikipedia article. Copy/paste jobs are 99% of the time copyright infringement, and a more zealous Wikipedian would have tagged your article a ((copyvio)). You had best go back and re-write it, paraphrasing your source material.71.166.82.192 22:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
By custom, all discussions of surveys and polling should start with citing Polling is evil. That done, let's go on to say that polls and surveys are not binding. Wikipedia:Straw polls. They are simply a test of whether there is a consensus for a proposal. So long as unregistered users are participating in good faith, and are not sock puppets, then they have the same ability to share their viewpoints as other editors. Other editors, including the editor who closes the survey (if that's done), may choose to discount the opinions of unregistered users, as is done in AfDs.
If there was a clear consensus for a recent move then a new proposal to move the article back to the old title may be viewed as failuure to respect the consensus, especially if the user making the proposal was involved in the previous discussion. WP:CON. Previous decisions are not binding on current editors, but repeatedly making the same unsuccess proposal could be disruptive. -Will Beback · † · 22:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, JC0312. An anonymous visitor to the Columbia University Mock Trial page removed the PROD tag and said, "this entry should NOT be deleted because CUMT is not a "club," but rather a nationally-ranked competitive team, such as the Florida Gators, who have an extensive page."
In response, I have started the traditional AfD process. I hope you will be able to take the time and comment on the AfD Discussion. Thanks. JasonCNJ 00:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

"Please consider using a spell check program for your edits. In addition to some of the problems relating to Marbury, there are spelling errors in your edits to the Louisiana Purchase entry. Additionally, some of your edits violate WP:NPOV, for example, in Proclamation of Neutrality, it's inappropriate to write that Madison "caved" to Jefferson, or that the proclamation set a "proud precedent" for future U.S. administrations. Cheers, JCO312 17:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)"
Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Malplaquet"
First of all thank you for taking the time to glance over my latest submissions. I am always flattered that someone would take the time to give them a look. As to the subject of my spelling, I couldn't agree with you more. Spelling has always been my bête noire, and despite the care tired eyes often overlook that which may be quickly spotted by other. Though I have looked I've not be able to find a spell checker on this site. Does it have one? If so, how does one access it? If not, where can I find one for use on Wiki?
Now, as to the subject of potential WP:NPOV. Surely the words I chose must be a venial sin indeed.
It is a point in fact that Madison did, in fact, "cave" to Jefferson's constant exhortations (dare I say "nagging"?). Is the word "cave" conjecturable? Frankly, I don't believe it is. Given the situtation, Madison did not "accede", or "comply", or "concur", or "concede" to Jefferson's insistent letters, he caved; he knuckled under; he threw in the towel. By his own words he says took up his pen only with the greatest reluctance. The Founding Fathers were not gods, they were men. And their being featured, or even mentioned, in an encyclopedic article does not make them less so. Therefore, I stand by my use of the word "cave".
As to the term "proud precedent", this, too, I find puzzling: Why, it was a precendent, since it had never been done before. And it was a proud moment, because for the first time since its founding, the United States of America made its own, independent declaration of a self-determined policy; not unlike an infant taking its first steps, or a young bird that has learned to fly. I don't think either of these, or the term employed, could be chalked up to vanity. Regards,Malplaquet 22:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply, and yes, please send me the Foxfire spell checker, and/or info on a spellchecker program here on Wiki. I -- and future readers -- would be most grateful! (grin)
As re: the words and phrase in question, i.e. "caved", et. al. IMHO at this point the game isn't worth the candle. We have a situtation where both sides have valid points; fortunately here on Wiki we have the freedom to step in and change the words in question. A statement I write with no rancor whatsoever.
Though I can't resist pointing out a line I came across not too long ago re: Boris Godunov. I think it make you grin. Apparently this particular line was lifted whole cloth from the 1911 Enc. Brit. It reads (underline mine):
"In 1571 Godunov strengthened his position at court by his marriage to Maria, the daughter of Ivan's abominable favorite Malyuta Skuratov."
Abominable?? Ah, me, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Regards,Malplaquet 16:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you edited John L. Fugh with the edit summary ‘doing some wikifying, trying to prevent total copyright violation’. I’d like to remind you that altering a copyrighted work makes the result a derivative work and if the original work was not under a free licence, then, unless the original’s copyright holder grants such permission, neither is the derivative. The only way to avoid a copyvio is to remove the copyrighted material, even if it has been altered. —xyzzyn 13:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for contacting me. First off, I think I speak for everyone when I say that I would love it if you could help out with the citations. I too have a lot of Reagan bios around the house, and have been looking thorugh them for some citations.
I think that what you meant when you said "Have you considered changing the citations so that sources that are cited repeatedly are given a reference name and then only listed once in the reference section?" you were talking about the book citations. Well, for some of the books, that is a good idea, and I will work on that, but when it comes to book references, it's all about the page numbers. You could only give the book the same reference name if the page number is the same, which, now that I look, many are, so it is a good idea. I thank you for your input, and look forward to working with you in the future! --Happyme22 22:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I do realize that it is a T-Pain song, but Akon is featured on it so why should it not be consider one of his number one singles? If you still feel you should remove Bartender, then you might as well remove "Moonshine" & "The Sweet Escape" as well because Akon is a featured artist on these as well.

What if we were to create the same chart as before, but instead write something like:
"Bartender" by T-Pain
or
"The Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani I think this is a reasonable compromise. Let me know what you think of this idea.

Since the user with whom I had this conversation decided to delete my responses from his talk page, I am including them here so that the discussion makes some semblance of sense.
I have re-added the picture of the Speaker. The fact that you have a conflict regarding the picture of the Vice President is not a reason to remove similar pictures from other pages (I agree with you that his picture should absolutely appear on that page). In fact, doing so is a violation of WP:POINT. Cheers, JCO312 20:33, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
The "Court membership" section automatically formats everything, including the addition of wikilinks. The "Case opinions" doesn't ever use wikilinks; it could do so automatically, but it would greatly increase the size of the template. And then there would be redundant links in the infobox. Cheers. --MZMcBride 00:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank for the welcome back. I actually think that would be a good idea. I would see no problem with the picture being in the lead if this was done. But I think that the picture I put in the body should be removed if this was done. This would probably end the dispute. Also if I was ever incivil to you, I apologize.

Hi there. Thank you for contacting me and getting my thoughts on you proposed alterations to the Reaganomics section of the Ronald Reagan page. After reading what you wrote, I think it sounds more neutral, which is good, but there are some things I would liek to draw attention to:
I also wanted to get our opinion on what (if anything) should be removed from the section, for it's the longest sub-section in the article and that brings down its chances of becoming a FA. There's the quotes by Don Regan and Martin Fieldstein dealing with Pres. Reagan. It could be argued that they should stay because the article is about Ronald Reagan, and they deal specifically with Ronald Reagan. I think the wrap-up paragraph at the end should stay because that wraps up Reaganomics. What do you think, because the kb count is high, and there is already an article dealing with Reaganomics? Some stuff has got to go. Best, Happyme22 19:29, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

It would be nice if you said that that editor offered to not be overly strict, as the initial section seemed reasonable, but then you stuck to policy to get certain other information removed.

1. Nayef has a solid record of suppressing domestic opposition with an iron fist, including the challenge posed by al Qaeda.
2. He is a conservative in Saudi terms, meaning he is close to the clerical establishment.
In all five Arab nations overtaken by uprisings, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Syria and Libya, the Muslim clergy sided with the rebels against the regime.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Yusaf Mack, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page UBA. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi JCO312. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Katietalk 22:49, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
