Hi Ronz: Related to recent edits to the entries for polymer clay, you can find relevant information at www.polymerartarchive.com This site is attempting to record and document the early history of polymer as an art form and it is the only source for this sort of information as no historical volume has yet been written. Please check out that site and then if you think is it appropriate, please reinstate reference and/or links to Polymer Art Archive where appropriate. I do believe that readers will find additional helpful information at that site. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.166.139 (talk) 03:21, 1 October 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-01T03:21:00.000Z","author":"74.105.166.139","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-74.105.166.139-2010-10-01T03:21:00.000Z-Recent_edits_to_the_article_on_polymer_clay","replies":["c-Ronz-2010-10-01T05:26:00.000Z-74.105.166.139-2010-10-01T03:21:00.000Z"]}}-->

The article The Cooper Institute has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication that this organisation meets the notability guidelines. The coverage I can find is minor, not the significant coverage required by the guidelines

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-01T10:11:00.000Z","author":"Phantomsteve","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Phantomsteve-2010-10-01T10:11:00.000Z-Proposed_deletion_of_The_Cooper_Institute","replies":[]}}-->

Dear Ronz,

Could please, for each of the following links, provided a detailed argument for why they should not be included in the particle swarm optimization article:

Frameworks

• EvA2. Evolutionary algorithms workbench from University of Tübingen.
• ParadisEO. Software Framework for Metaheuristics from the National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control.
• MATLAB PSO Research Toolbox.

Visualization

• PsoVis. PSO visualization by the Modlab Group at Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University.

On the talk page I see no argument more intelligent than "these links should not be included because there is no consensus." Clearly, if no one is interested in providing any well reasoned arguments to build such consensus, this if a form of circular reasoning.

Looking forward to your reply, —Ruud 12:29, 2 October 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-02T12:29:00.000Z","author":"Ruud Koot","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ruud_Koot-2010-10-02T12:29:00.000Z-PSO","replies":["c-Ronz-2010-10-02T14:38:00.000Z-Ruud_Koot-2010-10-02T12:29:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Ruud"}}-->

The burden is on you to convince everyone else why they should be included per WP:ELBURDEN.

There's plenty more reasoning on the talk page than what you've summarized. --Ronz (talk) 14:38, 2 October 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-02T14:38:00.000Z","author":"Ronz","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ronz-2010-10-02T14:38:00.000Z-Ruud_Koot-2010-10-02T12:29:00.000Z","replies":["c-Ruud_Koot-2010-10-02T15:17:00.000Z-Ronz-2010-10-02T14:38:00.000Z"]}}-->

Clearly, you must understand, that it would be very hard for me to convince you if I do not understand why you oppose inclusion.

It's probably best if you didn't concern yourself with making assumptions on what others may or may not understand. If you're unsure, ask questions.

Maybe start by addressing what I've already written? I've made multiple comments on the dispute. I hope they make my reasoning clear. If not, do you have any specific disagreements with them? Would you like me to clarify them further? --Ronz (talk) 15:44, 2 October 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-02T15:44:00.000Z","author":"Ronz","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Ronz-2010-10-02T15:44:00.000Z-Ruud_Koot-2010-10-02T15:17:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I am undecided if this is the proper place to put this but I'm hoping you won't have to hunt too long to find who commented with my colorful signature. :) I saw your last comment at the AN/i and since the thread isn't getting too much from others I would suggest you taking this behavior to an administrator to stop the behavior that unacceptable. I could put a warning on the talk page of the user too, but it too has no meaning with me not being an administrator. I think you've hit the point where an administrator needs to make a firm comment to this user with no ifs or buts about it. I hope you are doing well though. Let me know if I can help. I am online sporadic these days so I've not really being doing anything useful for awhile. I do hope to get real life calmed down again to be able to accomplish more things again.

Would you like to bet there isn't contraverisal content on other BLP pages? The fact that Barrett has been sued for his work, is relavent to the his bio, and any article linked to him.

"Would you like to bet there isn't contraverisal content on other BLP pages?" I think both of agree that following BLP is the best solution, regardless of problems elsewhere.

I will honor the agreement sight-unseen this once, but I don't normally concur with this type of change considering the way I wrote my content.

I still contend that non-confrontational content is warranted. The article should not give only the impression that Barrett's assertions are always correct or go unchallenged.

You said: Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users.

Sorry, I cannot comment on content, because Dougweller follows me around Wiki and simply deletes everything I add.

I improved the Deva Victrix page by adding a separate section for the elliptical building, as this is perhaps the most interesting building on the site. I also added a new section for the Market Hall inscription. And then along comes the mighty Dougweller and deletes the whole lot. Had Dougweller even heard of the Deva fortress before now? So on what basis did he delete it all? Did he even bother to read the update?

(edit conflict)

(Ronz, I hope you don't mind me leaping in here...)

Divageek2010,

When you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~~~~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured to the right.

The main thing is, in any dispute at all, talk to the other people. Don't try to keep editing an article, if others disagree. Stop, and discuss it on the article talk page. Otherwise, it's chaos; so the warnings you got were nothing personal. Users are never blocked as a punishment, but instead, to prevent disruption to Wikipedia. If people insist on forcing their edits on an article without discussing things, then they are blocked. Please read WP:DISCUSS.

There is no deadline; if the page is 'wrong' for a while, whilst we discuss things, it does not matter. Once there is a consensus to make the change, then fine, we can make it - and, if someone edits it against some established consensus, without discussion, then they get warned.

If in doubt, stop, and ask for help. You can do that by either;

• Put {{helpme}} on your own talk page and ask a question; OR

• Talk to us live, with this.

Hey there, You removed my link to a movie about depression treatment and identification. As I mentioned in the edit summary, the link I've added is a "service to the public produced by ERA-Net Neuron—a non-profit, multinational, EC-supported consortium on neuroscience research". It has no kind of deliberate advertising or promotion, whereas the website is not privately owned, nor is it intended to make any sort of commercial benefit, but simply to bring the work of the European Union research centre to the wide public. Nevertheless, a link directly to their website may not be necessary. Will you accept the changes, should I leave that reference out? 85.65.243.51 (talk) 17:19, 18 October 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-18T17:19:00.000Z","author":"85.65.243.51","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-85.65.243.51-2010-10-18T17:19:00.000Z-Not_a_spam_but_an_informative_addition","replies":["c-Ronz-2010-10-18T17:20:00.000Z-85.65.243.51-2010-10-18T17:19:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks for the response. I was in the process of noting on your talk page that I appreciate your friendliness and effort to work with all involved.

RomanHistorian, after Ronz reverted and hid your edits, you removed them from the article talk page. But you kept them on BLP, so I have more than sufficient basis for the Wikiquette report.

Hi Ronz, I contributed text to the Eames Lounge Chair Wikipedia entry several days ago, that we were going to supplement with photos to illustrate the defects, and methods of repairing. The text was removed the next day. What types of citations would be appropriate to better lay a foundation for the edit? I thought photos would do that, but didn't know how to add them, and requested an associate add them later. Did you save the edited material? Unfortunately, I did not. If you did, and think the material might be appropriately supported, I would appreciate your forwarding the textual material to me.

By way of supporting my expertise, my company is the only I am aware of that repairs broken Eames Lounge plywood shells, and has been doing so for many years. Clients have shipped them to us from New Zealand to Belgium, and other parts of Europe and South America. We repair several Eames Lounge chairs with broken lower back shells, resulting from shock mount failure, every month. We always retain the original external veneer. Our website shows part of the process: http://www.oleklejbzon.com/pages/newfurniture/modern_eames.htm

Thanks for your consideration. This was my first Wikipedia posting, so I am a neophyte regarding Wikipedia guidelines and standards. I am however, capable of scholarly writing, being a Yale College grad, BA Economics, '79, and look forward to any guidance you can offer. Thanks for your indulgence.

Thanks for following up on this. Welcome to Wikipedia.

As a very important aside, you need to either change your username or user a new account per WP:CORPNAME. I'll leave you some general info about Wikipedia once you decide.

Wikipedia keeps a database of most edits. The information is still available in the article history here.

I removed the information with the edit summary, "rv unsourced, promotional, not how-to" meaning I reverted the edit, the material was not properly sourced, it was overly promotional, and was too much like a instruction manual.

If you're still reading after all those policies and guidelines (yes, they can be a bit overwhelming at times), let me try to answer your questions:

Most of the material is not suited for Wikipedia per WP:NOTHOWTO, but might be appropriate for related projects described there.

I don't see anything obvious from your contribution that WP:NOTHOWTO doesn't apply to, so I'll respond in general. WP:V is Wikipedia's verifiability policy which is summarized as, "Any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation." "Reliable" is a reference to the Identifying reliable sources guideline. So, basically, you need to provide at least some sources, and some of those sources should be known for publishing reliable or authoritative material on the topic at hand. There can be a great deal of leeway depending on the topic.

The Eames Lounge Chair article needs a lot of work. It needs more and better references. It probably has too much detail in some places, and not enough in others. It's a good article for a new editor to work on, since it's not heavily read or edited. I hope you'll consider giving it another try.

Also, take a look at WP:COI as well. --Ronz (talk) 03:14, 20 October 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-20T03:14:00.000Z","author":"Ronz","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ronz-2010-10-20T03:14:00.000Z-Olek_Lejbzon-2010-10-20T02:27:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

First off I would like to say that I am not spamming. I have spent days, months and years researching and I do happen to work for Nazmiyal but if the so many companies and other sites agree that we are the best source of information then why not place the link to the site? There are so few people in the world that truly know the history behind these great works of art and Wiki had no info at all until we started putting it in. We are the only people who take the time to research and learn so if you have an issue with my information then why not challenge the validity?

Take it the BLP/N Ronz. I get it you think its a BLP violation, but you have no support in that claim at the moment. Time to get the support or stop deleting comments of other people.

I've create a new design for the biographies of living persons noticeboard that simplifies the reporting process and makes the instructions clearer. Could you take a look at User:Netalarm/Lab 3 and provide some feedback on how to improve it or take it live? Feel free to submit a report there. Thanks.

Thanks for putting the tags back into the Donald Leifert wikiarticle. I had put many of them in myself earlier (see here). Since then, I have been trying to help that particular editor, but to no avail (see here). I have even suggested that he work with it in his own user namespace. Another editor has been trying to bring the article into line with wikiguidelines and wikipolicies, but couldn’t really get the other editor to work collegially (see here). The more experienced editor would like to revert it back to a stub, then build it up in those areas where the subject acutally has some notability, namely his SciFi acting. (I don’t imagine he is sufficiently notable as an educator.)

Here's what it comes down to. I have gone through all the background of this issue, and it is clear to me that it's as bad a case of tendentious editing and IDIDNTHEARTHAT as I have ever seen. I'm reluctant to block somebody who contributes as much as you do, but I really need to see some sign that you recognize that the community does not accept your behavior here, and a commitment not to do anything like this again.

I don't have time to respond, and I believe I have to respond immediately, so:

I'm giving myself a few days to change my mind, but I don't believe I'll be editing Wikipedia further.

If I return, I have a great deal I want to change in my approach to editing. I've got a lot of ideas for what to do, but I'll want to discuss them with others, flesh out the sketchy ideas, and come up with something that will avoid all the problems that are of concern, especially WP:TE and WP:DE. I'll likely adopt Jclemens' WP:CRYBLP, which I wasn't aware of.

In the meantime, at the BLPN discussion, I've deferred to the consensus that BruceGrubb's comments to FTN and RSN regarding Barrett shouldn't have been removed, and I've withdrawn from the discussion.

If there's anything else that needs immediate response, let me know and I'll try to get to it. --Ronz (talk) 16:02, 27 October 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-27T16:02:00.000Z","author":"Ronz","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ronz-2010-10-27T16:02:00.000Z-Looie496-2010-10-27T04:03:00.000Z","replies":["c-Looie496-2010-10-27T23:16:00.000Z-Ronz-2010-10-27T16:02:00.000Z"]}}-->

My impression is that although some of the people involved in this have gotten very frustrated, few if any would see driving you permanently away from Wikipedia as a good outcome. I don't even know if there is a great deal you need to change in your approach to editing; the main thing that comes out here is that you need to never again be so obstinate in rejecting a clear consensus of other editors, even in matters that are important to you. In the meantime, in the expectation that you will follow through on the things you wrote above (with the exception of retiring, which is not desireable), I see no need to impose any sanction at this time.

Greetings Ronz --

I am contacting you because of our recent interactions regarding a warning against COI content.

I personally believe in the mission and integrity of Wikipedia, so I'm hoping to learn from the apparent contradictions I've been witnessing recently -- specifically how this understandable COI issue is enforced for me, but not for another similar user (or class of users). I hope to improve my contributions here, so am seeking understanding of the COI issue and it's enforcement. I'm grateful for any help or advice you can provide on this issue.

After your warning about COI issues in my contributions, I started re-reading the COI policies on wikipedia to improve the quality and integrity of my contributions. During this review, I checked my watchlist, and noticed various contributions I made were understandably removed by you due to possible COI conflicts. To understand this removal process better, I checked if others with experience in the customer experience management industry who had made contributions which violated the COI policy on Wikipedia had their COI contributions removed under the same process.

I quickly found an analogous user who violated the COI policy in many of his or her contributions. The user has been warned repeatedly about COI on their talk page, yet a large set of that users COI contributions still remain unchanged. Apparently the user, whose COI contributions were, imho, more extensive than mine, didn't have his or her COI contributions removed (like mine were). Could you help me understand why the many COI contributions from that user remain untouched, while the contributions I was told violated the COI policy were almost immediately removed?

For example, here are some of the pages with COI conflicts from that user http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bazzer_palm :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_satisfaction

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_International_Customer_Service_Institute

Note that there's existing warnings against COI from Bazzer_palm on his or her user talk page, but his or her contributions have been removed. I find this confounding, since Buzzer_palm and I seem to contribute on similar pages, yet my contributions were removed after a COI warning while this user's COI contributions were not removed after a series of similar warnings. I guess what I'm trying to understand is why I had policies enforced against me, while another didn't have the same policies enforced against them for their COI contributions.

Thanks for your helping me better understand the COI policy and it's enforcement. I honestly want to contribute only the best and most reliable additions I can, which align with the mission and community of Wikipedia. Understanding how I can contribute tacit knowledge I have gleaned from my experience, while not violating the COI policy is very important to me, so that I can contribute the best I can here. Thanks for your helping me understand this apparent contradiction, and for your work maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia.

Sincere thanks,

Hi Glen. Thanks for the comment. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to help you beyond directing you to WT:COI, where you can discuss the interpretion and application of WP:COI, and WP:COIN, where COI-related disputes are reported and discussed. I recommend WP:COIN. Looks like there may be cleanup to do with his editing, but if not they can answer your questions. --Ronz (talk) 19:07, 27 October 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-27T19:07:00.000Z","author":"Ronz","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ronz-2010-10-27T19:07:00.000Z-Glenn.isaac-2010-10-27T18:31:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
