Raglan

And if there were a footnote, it would read "The Hero ISBN whatever, passim. ;-> We can do that in text; at least until the footnote brigade get their way,

I agree that Raglan should be mentioned at Hero; but not as the analysis of Greek hero cult, which may need to be another separate article. There's a reasonably good start at an article at FitzRoy_Somerset,_4th_Baron_Raglan#The_Hero, btw; it needn't start from scratch. Good luck. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thanks; it's now Greek hero cult, and seems to have grown. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Gay pride article

Why did you remove sourced material without adding to the discussion on the talk page? Could you please go into more detail about "Dubious statements" and what you mean by "better sources". I feel no reason to continue the article when I would expect further edits with no explanation. Many hours of research and writing went into that. I don't see how I am supposed to understand what your meaning is without your talking directly to your actions on the discussion page to know what you expect or what you feel is needed. The edit summery only conveys so much. A little more information would be helpful. One other question. Your placement of the expansion tag is in the middle of a section. Does that mean you feel expansion is only needed for the Roman section or the entire ancient history section? Any help you wish to give would be appreciated.--Amadscientist 02:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

About Kenneth J. Dover

Could you tell me what your thoughts are on this person and his writings. As I understand it there is some controversy with his theories or research or just possibly his use of such.--Amadscientist 05:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

An essay I've written

Hello. Since we often express similar arguments in deletion debates, I thought you might want to read an essay I've written, found at User:Eyrian/IPC. I'd be interested to hear any feedback on its talk page. --Eyrian 15:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

userification

Re Kitsune, I'll userify anything that isnt copyvio or BLP. If a closing admin forgets, just let me know. DGG (talk) 00:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:NPOV

Per your comments on Dissociative identity disorder when you reverted to User:Standardname's very biased version of the article which tries to pretend that there is no controversy, you should be aware that no less than three admins warned that editor that his editors were blatant violations of the WP:NPOV policy that cannot stay there. By reverting to that version you are guilty of the same misconduct, and your edit comments showed a rather disturbing hint that you may be reverted out of personal conflict and not out of the merit of the actual edits. I have undone your revert and will not allow the article to try to completely sweep the controversy under the rug under some misplaced inability to respect the views of scholars you personally happen to disagree with.

There's absolutely nothing about the above comment that is a personal attack, so your "warning" and claims to "not put up with it" etc. on my talk page were out of line. If that's you trying to prove you do not have a personal conflict and are editing the encyclopedic with its best interests at heart, you are failing. DreamGuy 21:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Whatever, it's very apparent from the above that what you said was a personal attack. And the fact that you reverted your talk page FIVE SECONDS after I added the comment proves that you are either an incredible speed reader or that you ignored the entirety of my post on your page, which concerned mostly the editing conflict on the DID page. Your lack of good faith assumptions and downright incivility show that you have no interest in actually working with others on this project. CaveatLector^Talk 21:25, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
