Was this conference, and the controversy surrounding the move to Texas, covered by any third-party media? If so, might I suggest that information from those media be added to the article? -- JeffBillman (talk) 19:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Westwind, I noticed some time ago that you dropped by the Lurita Doan talk page and commented on POV concerns there. I (along with others) tried to make some NPOV edits to reflect what was reported and verifiable in the mainstream media. However, there is at least one editor that seems interested in a re-write that seeks to minimize her tenure as GSA chief and the Hatch Act troubles that dogged her (as with many other Bush appointees).
I was hopeful that you might spend some time, in the near future, on a return-trip to the Doan article and have a look around. Thanks.--Happysomeone (talk) 21:13, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:C-130 Hercules. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. BillCJ (talk) 04:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I'm SummerPhD. I noticed that you removed topically-relevant content from Talk:Aggregate Nutrient Density Index. However, Wikipedia is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 05:03, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello Westwind273,
I have done the draft of the RfC for the naming issue of the article Senkaku Islands and its related articles and posted the draft in a sandbox page User:Lvhis/dn RfC. Could you please check it and give your suggestions to improve it including to improve its English wordings. You can input your suggestions into the talk page of the sandbox page. I am really grateful to you (!!) for your valuable opinions in that talk page and your efforts finding out and providing many important reliable sources. Your attitude and your frank/honest manner let me feel the spirit of the freedom and democracy, though at beginning we had some different view on several points. Thank you!--Lvhis (talk) 20:38, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Gg53000 (talk) 14:13, 7 January 2014 (UTC) |
In this diff this diff - and others like them you seem to want article change, but have gone about it by offering speculations about the political alignment of the people who wrote the existing text. Some brief points regarding this
Thanks for contributing. I'll look at the articles you aren't happy with and see if there's room for improvement - there probably is. Edaham (talk) 00:50, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
I do suggest being careful not to violate WP:HARASSMENT#WIKIHOUNDING. Following an editor around across unrelated articles and always making counter-comments can skate dangerously close to violating this policy. I never follow another editor around making counter-comments on unrelated articles. --Westwind273 (talk) 21:48, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Hope you are doing well, I wanted to thank you for your contributions to the Talk:Shinzō Abe. I really enjoyed reading it and it's unfortunate that there is Anti-Abe Bias. Even if doesn't get changed, I'm sure myself and others would continue to enjoy your future articles : )

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

I'm afraid you seriously misunderstood my comment. I, in no way whatsoever, suggested that you said we "should synthesize our own conclusions". It had nothing to do with you personally. I was just pointing out an important part of WP:NOR that many editors, even experienced ones, sometimes aren't very aware of. You may very well have an excellent understanding of WP:SYN, but when anyone (not just you) suggests that we add something that is not clearly stated in a source (in this case, a diagnosis of "pathological liar"), I think it's important to remind everyone (not just you) that we can't make such a synthesis. If reminding us of a policy is a "cheap shot", then I'm guilty, but it's not a cheap shot nor was it intended to be. I understand why your misinterpretation led you to take offense, but it was not based in the reality of my comments. And I would ask you not to jump to conclusions about another editor's intentions. Unless that editor makes a direct accusation toward you personally, assume good faith and seek clarification before making a false accusation of "cheap shot". It's possible to disagree with a suggested edit without personalizing it toward the editor who make the suggestion. Thanks. Sundayclose (talk) 14:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, as you did at Talk:2024 Haneda Airport runway collision, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Denniss (talk) 07:31, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
