Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Christine Maggiore. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. MastCell Talk 20:32, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Do you have a reference/source for the two billion pound figure (Lancaster House commitment)? If so, it would help. Babakathy (talk) 13:41, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

For your information, MrSativa,
Thank you for creating the section, Ugandan Constitution of 1995, in the article, LGBT rights in Uganda. It is a valid point of view that should be present in Wikipedia.
I believe that you assert that protection against discrimination on the grounds of sex renders anti-homosexual laws unconstitutional. I challenge the assertion with my reason given on the talk page. Because of Wikipedia's policy of verifiability, I suggest that the assertion needs to be supported by a reference to a reliable source in order to be part of the article.
I welcome discussion about this.

Hi MrSativa,
I reverted your edits to HIV, as they appeared to be your own personal synthesis of information, which is prohibited by Wikipedia's policy on original research. There might be room in in the article for criticism of the idea that circumcision reduces HIV transmission, but such criticism needs to be cited to a reliable source that explicitly discusses circumcision and HIV transmission. The article you cited did not mention HIV or AIDS in its discussion or conclusion, and did not mention circumcision at all. (Although it was an interesting article, and I'm glad your edit drew my attention to it.)

You can't use the BMJ article to argue something not in the article - the article doesn't mention Bantu nor draw any conclusions about E1b1a not in the article. Please read WP:NOR. You also should read WP:WORDS. Dougweller (talk) 20:46, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
MrSativa (talk) 06:14, 13 October 2013 (UTC) Dear Doug Weller,
I did no such thing. The fact is that dr. Zahi Hawass signed off on the study in question (his name is at the top of the paper), and the study identifies the haplogroup of Ramses III and his son as E1b1a. The Haplogroup E1b1a is associated with the Bantu Migrations. That does not have to be in the article, it is a generally accepted fact (look at the E1b1a page, or at the Genographic Project). However, the Bantu Migrations are usually dated as starting around 1000 BC, but Ramses III reigned in the 12th century BC. (I would have linked to the Bantu Expansion page, but it is very apartheid era South African in tone.)
I don't understand what conclusions I drew that were not in the article. Haplogroup E1b1a is what it is, and the article states that Ramses III and his son's haplogroup are E1b1a.
Thanks for the extra link. You stated:
" The article doesn't mention the Bantu.[1] nor does this report of the article[2]. "
I think you are unfamiliar with today's DNA, and haplogroups. The article mentions:
" Genetic kinship analyses revealed identical haplotypes in both mummies (table 1.); using the Whit Athey’s haplogroup predictor, we determined the Y chromosomal haplogroup E1b1a. "
It mentions E1b1a. E1b1a is the haplogroup that is associated with the Bantu Expansion. That is not 'my claim', that is the claim of everyone involved in genetics today. That is why I added a source from the Genebase Tutorial, but I could have added information from the Genographic Project, Wikipedia's own E1b1a page, or anything else.
What is E1b1a, other than THE Bantu haplogroup? What is E1b1b, other than the Afro-Asiatic language expansion haplogroup? I'm sorry that you are unaware of these facts.
I quote:
http://www.genebase.com/learning/article/2
" Genebase Tutorial - Learning Center
" E1b1a (M2) is prevalent throughout Africa, except in North Africa. It peaks in West Africa and is associated with the spread of agriculture or new farming methods by the Bantu to Sub-Saharan and Equatorial Africa regions, where it especially prevalent. The Bantu migration and dispersal of E1b1a (M2) appears to have reached as far as South Africa. "

This guy Doug Weller seems to wish to hide the data on Ramses 3. From what I am learning this was not his first attempt at excluding this info. Allanana79 (talk) 06:44, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
What can we do? They have now taken the data off of DNA history of Egypt. Including Ramses 3 DNA results. I'm new to this. Editing Wikipedia. Allanana79 (talk) 18:38, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
I don't understand. It only proves that their is a conspiracy at hiding this information and always has been. One can see this in real time by observing Wikipedia. Thus this validates the Afrocentric claim that there exists a conspiracy. I wish I had a computer I would be on top of this all the time. Allanana79 (talk) 18:42, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
I mean it's not like you are gonna say "I'm doing this because...." It just feels like you know the truth but are actively hiding it. That would be secretively. Allanana79 (talk) 20:55, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bantu peoples, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shona. 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.

You should know that we don't interpret our sources or add material not in them. Even our article on the Haplogroup doesn't call it the "Bantu expansion haplogroup", as I obviously said in my edit summary. Doug Weller talk 12:35, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Randi Rhodes, did not appear constructive and have been undone.

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Cro-Magnon, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. If you can't show that the source says "black" then you are at best adding original research - but since you were already reverted before with an edit summary saying the sources don't show "black".....

That was the wrong page. I've moved it to Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2016/Candidates/Doug Weller and responded. I don't think you ever noticed that I put the E1B1a information into his article a year ago. In the context of the report, which is how it should be done. Could I suggest that if you have read WP:NOR and still think it's ok to add Bantu, that you ask at WP:NORN? That's the best way to handle this sort of disagreement. Doug Weller talk 22:23, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
You need to stop this. Doug Weller talk 11:51, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
On why NOR does not apply in this case:
"A and B, therefore C" is acceptable only if a reliable source has published the same argument in relation to the topic of the article. If a single source says "A" in one context, and "B" in another, without connecting them, and does not provide an argument of "therefore C", then "therefore C" cannot be used in any article.[1]
There is no "C" in the statement of two facts - haplogroup E1b1a for Ramses III and his son (A), and the spread of E1b1a today (B). There is no A and B, therefore C conclusion.
Wakeup call for Doug to remember:
"SYNTH is not an advocacy tool
If someone doesn't like what was said, and they therefore cry SYNTH, others almost certainly will be right to cry foul. Virtually anything can be shoehorned into a broad reading of SYNTH, but the vast majority of it shouldn't be." [2]

[Remove offsite attack]
I would concur with that opinion - Doug Weller does not have the requisite knowledge to say what is good or bad. He also knows nothing about genetics. Notice that he tried to shoehorn the charge of NOR into a post made based on an article in the BMJ, namely that Ramses III has haplogroup E1b1a. When the same is said in an article by DNA Tribes, he claims that DNA Tribes 'isn't peer reviewed', a charge he of course cannot make about the BMJ. In other words, he picks and chooses which opinions should make it into Wikipedia, which he has no qualifications to do. MrSativa (talk) 06:51, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:
This actually is the typical bullying tactic and harassment that is typical of tinpot dictators like Doug Weller. For years and years, I have had no problem posting anything about Africa, Ancient Egypt or similar topics, and all of a sudden, every time I post something it is removed by Doug Weller for some spurious reason that is never defined, but on closer inspection, never holds up to scrutiny. For instance, he is fond of exclaiming NOR, which means you cannot join A + B = C if there is no independent source verifying C. However if you only state A + B, there is no original research, because there is no (unsupported) conclusion. For years Doug Weller has blocked simple information about the Ancient Egyptians from being posted on this spurious argument and abuse of the moderation process, also known as wikilawyering. He and his buddies seem to be on a crusade against what they call 'Afrocentrism', which however only is a desire to continue the notion of white supremacy, no matter what the evidence says. I will however refrain from removing Doug Weller's contributions, if he gets the hell out of my face. :) MrSativa (talk) 21:25, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:
So exactly what were those 'actions'? All I did is take out one spurious, content free comment on a conversation I was having on a talk page. I am not in a personal conversation with Doug Weller, and I do not appreciate his incessant comments on conversations I have with other people. If this was anywhere outside of Wikipedia, like Twitter, or Youtube, or anywhere else, I would have him blocked for being a troll. So you can claim these are 'my actions' all you want, but this is not the Wikipedia of old, where trolls like Doug Weller would never make it to be 'moderators'. Wikipedia is based on goodwill and trust, and Doug Weller's sneeky wikilawyering is the antithesis of that. I think these problems had been pointed out as early as 2009.
