Re: Peter Schiff page

Hey, this is Screwball23. I have been working hard on the Linda McMahon page, and I have a strong interest in the Connecticut Senate election. I write to you because I saw some awesome editing on the Peter Schiff page and think you really know how to improve your articles. If you have time, give the Linda McMahon page a shot. I really would appreciate a fresh look.

Thanks! --Screwball23 talk 01:52, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words! I'll have a look at it and see what I might be able to contribute. --JohnDoe0007 (talk) 12:12, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Economics census

Hello there. Sorry to bother you, but you are (titularly at least) a member of WP:WikiProject Economics, as defined by this category. If you don't know me, I'm a Wikipedia administrator, but an unqualified economist. I enjoy writing about economics, but I'm not very good at it, which is why I would like to support in any way I can the strong body of economists here on Wikipedia. I'm only bothering you because you are probably one of them. Together, I'd like us to establish the future direction of WikiProject Economics, but first, we need to know who we've got to help.

Whatever your area of expertise or level of qualification, if you're interested in helping with the WikiProject (even if only as part of a larger commitment to this wonderful online encyclopedia of ours), would you mind adding your signature to this page? It only takes a second. Thank you.

Message delivered on behalf of User:Jarry1250 by LivingBot.

Firstly, thank you for signing the census, and an apology if you are one of those editors who dislike posts such as this one for messaging you again in this way. I've now got myself organised and you can opt-out of any future communication at WP:WikiProject Economics/Newsletter. Just remove your name and you won't be bothered again.

Secondly, and most importantly, I would like to invite your comments on the census talk page about the project as a whole. I've given my own personal opinion on a range of topics, but my babbling is essentially worthless without your thoughts - I can't believe for one moment that everyone agrees with me in the slightest! :)

All your comments are welcomed. Thanks, - Jarry1250 ^{[Humorous? Discuss.]} 17:54, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Economics Newsletter (Issue I)

Positively Economics The Economics WikiProject Newsletter Issue I (May 2010)
Use the show/hide button to display or hide this newsletter. From the (self-appointed) editor Hello to all the economists who signed up on the census (covered in more detail below) and whom I have boldly signed up for this, the first in hopefully a long line of WikiProject Economics newsletters. The aim is simple: to distribute the project's news and developments in order that every member gets the opportunity to contribute to their fullest. It mirrors the ideals of any WikiProject: to support and assist. In creating this, on a whim, I have picked a name and stolen the layout of the Military History WikiProject's newsletter. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to leave them on the main newsletter talk page. The non-talk version of that page is also the place to unsubscribe yourself from the newsletter, which, for the moment, I anticipate will be monthly. Enjoy! - Jarry1250 [Humorous? Discuss.] 11:59, 25 April 2010 (UTC) Articles of note New featured articles: Economy of the Han Dynasty New featured lists: None New featured topics: None New good articles: Price elasticity of demand Production-possibility frontier Monetary Policy Committee Confederate war finance Redlinks to be squashed Skysmith has posted an updated list of missing economics topics. Most will need redirecting or new articles written to blueify them, so, if you can lend a hand with the effort, please do. There are some from virtually all areas of economics and hence to suit all tastes. Project news Census completed A big thank you to everyone who signed the census, an attempt to renew the project's membership list. Jarry1250 explained its purpose: "once we know how many active participants we have... we can make sure no interested parties get left out of discussions; ...to get everyone included. Not just to make them feel involved, but also to actively try to make them more involved [in the supportive atmosphere of the WikiProject]". Around forty editors, with a good range of specialisms and interests, have currently signed to show their activity, and it is still open for more. Project-wide discussions commence: A series of discussions have been commenced on the census talkpage about what, if anything, should be done to strengthen the Project. All comments are welcomed on a range of topics: the economic style guide, weight guidelines, notability and the creation of this newsletter. Other discussions, on categorisation, tagging and compiling an accurate list of unreferenced BLPs, are currently active. Your comments are invited in the following other ongoing project discussions: The normative economics of central banking. What article might this fall under? Does one exist already? Does it need a separate article? Inflation. Thoughts invited on the inflation article and how best to word the lead. 2010 European sovereign debt crisis - comments requested.

Schiff article

Per WP:3RR, there's more that can be done than reverting the text. I'm not sure how you justify your OR accusations, so I'd like to hear more about that on the article's talk page. BigK HeX (talk) 03:13, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Schiff

You have deleted information from the lead which you plainly acknowledge as being cited and reflects info which is detailed in the article body. I'm fairly sure there's nothing there's nothing in the WP:MoS to justify such a deletion, though perhaps you might care to elaborate on which directive from that guideline you are applying. The deletion of cited/relevant/neutral text can be considered disruptive, and I'd much rather we discuss how Wikipedia guidelines are being applied, than to have to leave any questions about whether there's disruption that requires any intervention. I've explained that my reading of WP:UNDUE and WP:GEVEL ask us to note any significant departures from majority views. Even the WP:MOS that you invoked to justify your edit, actually seems to reinforce my point. It specifically states that, "any notable controversies" should be mentioned. In any case, thanks for any attention you can impart to my concerns. BigK HeX (talk) 16:40, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Please note that the deletion of neutral text that is cited and relevant may be considered disruptive. Thanks! P.S. Also, please don't edit war. BigK HeX (talk) 09:35, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Linda McMahon U.S. Senate campaign, 2010

Hey JohnDoe!!! :-)

I know the Republican primary is over, and news on Schiff is becoming scarce, but I would love your help on the Linda McMahon U.S. Senate campaign, 2010 article. I saw you do some excellent work on the Peter Schiff article, and since you are familiar with the major players in the Senate race, you can give me a lot of added perspective. --Screwball23 talk 03:42, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Awesome! I'm actually a little curious if you know, because 3% was a pretty poor showing for Schiff. Do you know what he was polling at the time?--Screwball23 talk 04:06, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I'll look back into it, but yes, he was polling much higher. He mentions a lot of details in that vlog used to cite my latest addition to that page. Also see here for the latest Rasmussen poll before the Convention. --JohnDoe0007 (talk) 12:30, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Linda McMahon

I'm undergoing a major editing dispute with another editor on the Linda McMahon page. I want to get this moderated, reported, sent to a nonbiased third party administrator, just about anything that will help form a productive discussion on the issue, but I have no clue how to do it. You've had your share of rough editing battles on Peter Schiff, and I would like to know what could be done. It's really serious.--Screwball23 talk 02:10, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Economics Newsletter (Issue IV)

Positively Economics The Economics WikiProject Newsletter Issue IV (September 2010)
Use the show/hide button to display or hide this newsletter. From the editor After a brief intermission over the Northern hemisphere summer season and the Southern hemisphere's mid-winter, Positively Economics is back. In recent weeks it has been my privilege to work on countering systemic bias with a couple of articles on the economic history of Uganda. Projects like these help, little by little, to open up new areas on knowledge to Western audiences. Indeed, with English in the ascendancy when it comes to second languages, many other audiences too. Both of the new creations made the front page via the Did you know? section for newly-created or significantly expanded articles. I would encourage other editors, particularly those who like badges, to try to get more economics articles onto the front page through this and other sections. Those with a particularly competitive bent might also wish to consider signing up for the 2011 Wikicup (great for focussing the mind). - Jarry1250 [Humorous?

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:56, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring

In case you did not know, it is never OK to reintroduce an edit into an article multiple times, after it has been objected to by multiple people, as you did here:[1][2][3] Doing so is considered edit warring, and is against policy. This is especially true for BLPs, as we must be extremely circumspect about what we say about living persons. Additionally, I would like to inform you that it is against policy for an editor to revert more than 3 times in 24 hours. This is called the 3 revert rule and is a bright line that should not be crossed. LK (talk) 04:28, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
