Peanutbutter251994 comment

[edit]

I wanted to point out that there is a JAG episode that parallels the Frank Olson case. It is from Season 10 Episode 9; "The Man on the Bridge." It follows the investigation into the disappearance of a Navy scientist,(bioweapons defense lab) Commander Adam Kohler, who was investigating his father's research (while at Fort Detrick in the 1970's) and disappearance. His father was assumed to have jumped out of a high hotel window. Commander Kohler has a copy of CIA manuals about assassination referencing drugging a person and throwing them out a window. Commander Kohler ends up finding out that his father was killed by another scientist who he had discovered was giving intelligence to the KGB.

I was hoping this reference could be added to the page. Peanutbutter251994

Go ahead. Valerius Tygart (talk) 14:46, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
While I'm here, User:Peanutbutter251994, you'll need a published source that meets WP:RS to add this. Dougweller (talk) 17:05, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If Episode 9, Season 10 of JAG is as described (I haven't looked into it), then no, that does not need "a published source" to be believed. Citing the show & episode will suffice. Let's not be so hysterical. Valerius Tygart (talk) 19:16, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merger discussion for Tuckahoe Marble

[edit]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Tuckahoe Marble , has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 13:39, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Pharmacological Calvinism

[edit]

The article Pharmacological Calvinism has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Minor neologism with a single advocate, one critique and no currency

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Merge discussion at Reason Rally (2012)

Just in case you didn't see the ping I did, some users are questioning why the two Reason Rally articles are separate and are talking about merging them.

Having a problem believing your own eyes when you see it on YouTube?? Vision problem, I guess. This is the film: U.S. Army PMF 5300/Navy Film MN 7499b (1954), Combat Psychiatry — The Division Psychiatrist (33 min.; b&w ). It's in the public domain. Still don't believe it exists? I don't know what to tell you. (Why don't you take all those other movies on Nimoy's list which don't have sources away while you're at it?) Valerius Tygart (talk) 18:09, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war warning
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Low level laser therapy shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Jytdog (talk) 18:00, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia.

Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 16:05, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The complaint is at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Valerius Tygart reported by User:Jytdog (Result: ). It looks like you broke 3RR on 13 October and that led to protection of the article. You wouldn't have to keep doing these reverts if anyone agreed with your changes. On the article talk page, I see no hint that you intend to abide by consensus. For example, it has been argued that there should be no 'History' section due to its use of primary sources, but you keep putting one back. If I am the closer, you can avoid being blocked for warring if you will agree not to edit the article again unless you have consensus in your favor on the talk page.

Edit warring at Low level laser therapy

You've been warned per a complaint at the edit warring noticeboard. You may be blocked if you make any more edits at Low level laser therapy that are not supported by a prior consensus in your favor on the talk page. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:16, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Valerius, you are continuing to edit the contested material at Low level laser therapy after my warning. You have made no post on talk since that time, so you've made no effort at getting a talk page consensus. Please self-revert your last change and there may be time to avoid a block. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 16:02, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings EdJohnson! I did indeed edit the article. (No offense intended.) I would be happy to post again, as often as necessary, on the talk page. But recall my last post there, some 6 days ago: "At this particular moment, it appears to me that I am the only editor here dialoging in good faith. Lift the protection if you like, but consensus has NOT been achieved. Indeed, substantial & serious discussion of my edits has not even happened." These words remain just as true as before. I am happy to engage with any and all editors on a good faith basis and without threats & ultimata. However, if you feel you must block, then do so.

Edit warring at Low level laser therapy
Stop icon with clock
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

You have continued to edit the contested history section, without attempting to get consensus first. This violates the warning which resulted from the most recent AN3 case. Since the article was fully protected from Oct 13 to 18 due to an edit war in which you participated, this doesn't leave us many options. The ideal outcome is to see you waiting for consensus before making further changes. You seem to have rejected this option. EdJohnston (talk) 16:33, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong work, Ed! Valerius Tygart (talk) 20:52, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
User:EdJohnston please have a look at the recent history of Low level laser therapy - Valerius came off their block, re-added the content under an IP, and just reverted my reversion of that. Zero interest in seeking consensus for these edits. Jytdog (talk) 15:03, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
User:Jytdog, consider opening an WP:RFC at Talk:Low level laser therapy. Another option is to discuss what sources are usable for the history of this therapy at WP:RSN. EdJohnston (talk) 15:19, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your note. I think there should be a history section - it is just that Valerius is uninterested in actually working toward consensus and there is no room to try to get there with their aggressive editing. Jytdog (talk) 15:21, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you won't even attempt an RfC, that weakens your position if this gets appealed further. EdJohnston (talk) 15:26, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that -- I will consider it! I am just unsure how to proceed in this situation; i have dealt with a lot of difficult characters but Valerius is taking the cake here. Jytdog (talk) 15:53, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The "difficult character" asks (yet again) that Jytdog stop personalizing the issues with gratuitous adjectives and asides. More important, I ask that you stop characterizing me as "uninterested in actually working toward consensus" when there is ample evidence to the contrary. After I failed to yield to your one-sided, idiosyncratic, and rigid interpretations of wikipolicy -- and after I made two concrete proposals, both of which you would not deign to acknowledge -- you announced (ludicrously) that a "consensus" against me had been unanimously achieved. You then declared victory and more or less signed off ("that's all I will say for now"). If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not going away. Ever. I am now committed to improving this article, with or without your help. You are now simply reverting anything I edit, without rationale, except the lamest. ("He's editing without signing in! Wahh!") If you will not even engage me with comments about why you think my good-faith edits are unacceptable, you will prolong this situation indefinitely. I patiently await your (thoughtful, constructive, non-personal) remarks. Valerius Tygart (talk) 20:11, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've proposed the changes for you on the Talk page, as you were advised to do yourself. Jytdog (talk) 20:24, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Jytdog, although you know I proposed them myself on the Talk page a couple of times.... Valerius Tygart (talk) 13:15, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

[edit]

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Valerius Tygart, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:20, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Section at epidemiology article

[edit]

You introduced a new section at the Case fatality rate article, which included no citations. That section's content is at odds with the rest of the article. I cannot source its many unsourced statements. I cannot justify the statement that the CFR statistic varies between 0 and 1, and that it is not a ratio, when the rest of the article contradicts these assertions.

Could you please either remove that editing, or add the citations from which you drew the content? If we can see the sources, we can sort out the mistake. Otherwise it is guesswork for us to try to correct (and makes your editing of epidemiology articles look very suspect). Here is the diff that says it was your edit. See the paragraph you added, beginning "A mortality rate — often confused with a CFR — is a...". Thank you in advance for helping move this article from being a mess, to being encyclopedic. 2601:246:C700:19D:6DB8:E3D9:8FD6:A7B0 (talk) 21:09, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The edit about a CFR not being a ratio was mine, but the one about it varying "between 0 and 1" is someone else's. Even so, I don't see the problem. You may be getting confused about how a CFR varies between zero & unity (0 and 1, 0% and 100%, etc). There's no contradiction. I have tried to clarify in the article along with adding 2 references.
BTW, the personal swipe about "your editing of epidemiology articles look very suspect" is not necessary. Valerius Tygart (talk) 17:43, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You should not be whining about me on an article talk page: either take me to ANI or leave the matter be. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 20:55, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How about a third option: A compromise. I'll extend a peace offering with the following proposal: Here is my edit as it currently sits:

In Philip Jose Farmer's 1952 science fiction novella The Lovers (expanded into a novel in 1961 & '79) the religion of the Haijac Union derives from Isaac Sigman, a messianic figure of a thousand years prior to the events of the story. Sigmanism is the belief system of the "Sturch" (state-church) and it is clear that it is an elaboration, or variant, of Judaism. It incorporates Dunne's "Serialism" with an extremely oppressive and coercive theocracy.

I agree that it does seem a little lengthy compared with the other lines. Suppose I shorten it a bit:

In Philip Jose Farmer's 1952 science fiction novella The Lovers, a fictional religion of a thousand years hence is based on Dunne's "Serialism"; it won a Hugo Award in 1953.

The bit about the Hugo (which is true, BTW) dovetails nicely with the next sentence about Philippa Pearce & her Carnegie Medal. (Hugo = premier SF award; Carnegie = premier children's fic award). What do you say? Valerius Tygart (talk) 23:55, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Similarly, you should not expect us to discuss article content on user talk pages but in the article talk page, so that others will see it. First you try to discuss it in your edit comments, then you demand consensus, then when that turns against you you seek compromise. I would recommend following WP:POLICY rather more diligently. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 09:26, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As always, you make it difficult to accept you on an "assume good faith" basis. I would be happy to discuss article content here or there. You scolded me above for "whining about me on an article talk page", so I thought I'd make my offer here to allow you some measure of face saving... In your case, it is impossible to separate "article content" from the angry, self-centered editor that hovers over it... BTW, (1) did I "demand consensus" ? (No, you did), (2) did consensus "turn against me" ? (No, there is no consensus, hardly even the beginnings of a discussion... You & I have had our say by now, more or less... Now we need even ONE additional editor to give a coherent & full opinion on the matter... And of course we need more than one)... I'm sorry you disdain my offer of compromise, which offer was made in the best spirit of wikipolicy... You thereby reveal your true character... Well, I tried... It's going to be a long slog... Back to the trenches! Valerius Tygart (talk) 12:05, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Valerius, but did you have the opportunity to give consideration to the following potential whole set of covered tigers hidding in the bush?
