''Why'd you revert "social democracy" to "social liberalism"? "Social liberalism" is generally a U.S.-centric term which means supporting the sorts of social positions the Democrats do, without reference to being economically liberal or conservative (or to being a foreign-policy liberal or conservative). In Europe, most of the parties whose platform is closest to the Democrats tend to call themselves "Social Democrats". The article social liberalism is rather confused, though the statement Social democrats believe in the moral right of the majority to regulate everyone and everything. Social liberals see democracy and parliamentarianism as mere political systems which legitimize themselves only through the amount of liberty they promote make it seem that the "social liberal" label should apply more to a tendency within the Republican Party rather than the Democratic Party, as that statement makes social liberalism sound much more capitalist than the Democrats.''
:This is a good question. I could be convinced that ] is a more appropriate label for the Democrats than ] (BTW, you're right, that article is a bit opaque). But if you check my edit summary you'll see that my main objection is that the change makes the sentence no longer make sense. As written, one point of that sentence is to contrast the two liberal philosophies mentioned with ]. In any case, I'm ok with you rewriting the sentence and putting a appropriate link to ], but I definitely think that simply making the change ] --> ] makes the sentence weird.

There's currently a debate beginning in ] as to whether the article should include the category . It meets definitions set in the articles ] and ], however, there are several self-proclaimed patriots who watch BTP who refuse to recognise the fact.
The simple criteria for terrorism generally seem to be ''intimidation or destruction of property in order to change public policy or public opinion while a state of war has not yet been declared''.

== Republican Party Page, Perot Edit == == A Barnstar for you! ==


{| style="border: 1px solid gray; background-color: #dff2f3;"
Okay, I guess there's a dispute here. I recently edited a section on the Republican Party page because it was stated that Perot drained Republican votes. This was a GOP talking point for eight years, and no one has presented any evidence that it's true. In fact, the Democrats claim that Perot drained votes from both sides; if anything, in '92, he seemed to take a larger share from Clinton (the "change" vote). You edited the page, supposedly "removing POV" to restore the orignal (biased) contention that Perot drained Republican votes. Neither of us, it should be noted, has cited any source. I'm editing the page again, to suggest that this is an ongoing debate (which, apparently, it is). Fair enough? {{unsigned2| 08:43, 19 September 2006|72.229.133.128}}

== Republican Part Page Recent Revert ==

:Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in ]. If you continue, you may be ] from editing Misplaced Pages under the ], which states that nobody may ] a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the ''effect'' of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.<!-- Template:3RR-n --> '''] 21:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)'''

First of all, this was my first full revert of the section, so I hardly think I'm in any danger of violating anybody's policy.

Moreover, I reverted only as a salve for the violence being done to political discourse and the English language. If you start ruining articles, you can fully expect your work to be reverted.

I did what I did because the article had been edited to boast such phenomenal writing as:

:"On social issues, Republicans believe there should be a "safety net" to assist the less fortunate which, compared to their opponents, favors a greater degree of private funding, less expense, and stricter requirements for eligibility."

I dare you to diagram this sentence. The antecedents are so hilariously out of place that the sentence ends up "compar(ing)" "the less fortunate" to Democrats ("their opponents"). Similarly, the sentence states that a "safety net" favors "less expense." A safety net, being an abstract concept, cannot favor anything. Republicans can favor things, certainly, and that's what the sentence is trying to say--but if you diagram the sentence, you'll notice that it involves the "safety net" ITSELF favoring all sorts of things!

As if that weren't enough, safety nets are NOT a "social issue." Restributing wealth (via social spending) is, by definition, an economic issue. "Social issues" are things like flag burning and abortion. This is just a childish and rudimentary misunderstanding of public policy.

To continue:

:"Since 2001, the party has demanded much stronger accountability in the public schools starting with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001."

Can accountability be strong? I posit that it cannot. That's like saying that a certain form of energy has a "stronger renewability" than other forms--it's simply an abusrd thing to write. Clearly, one can propose a "stronger system of accountability" or one can make "a stronger push for accountability," but accountability itself cannot be "stronger."

Aside from those sections, the only major changes my revert involved were restoring the number of signatories to the Kyoto Protocol (Misplaced Pages policy suggests that factual, cited evidence should never be deleted) and deleting the unsourced claim that a majority of Democrats oppose the Protocol; it also involved reverting a POV edit which changed the word "aggressive" to "strong."

If you have another take--that is, if you think that important, well-written content was destroyed during the revert--I will be happy to listen to your side of the story. Alternatively, if you can explain why terrible writing, unsourced claims, and fact suppression is important to protect, I'll be happy to stop reverting. Let me know.

== China and clues ==

'''Okay''' I'll grant that I may have made a careless edit, it's virtually a given in 540 edits or so, but I don't know the article you referenced on my talk, so that's not helpful. Also writing "...even if it were more correct to state '''People's Republic of China''' instead of '''China''', your edits detracted from the quality of the articles" is so hopelessly vague and rude as to be unhelpful, too. ''How'' did the edits detract from the quality of the articles? Is it ''better'' to have them redirect to the article about ancient Chinese civilization when you are conceding that the reference in the article is to the modern Communist state? That's pointless complaining; do you have any constructive criticism? If not, why are you posting on my talk? -]·]·]·] 17:58, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

== Looking for your reply ==

Hi! I removed your edit to Cooperative because it violates the principles in WP:NOT, particularly: Misplaced Pages is not a publisher of original thought and Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox. There is some useful information in what you posted, some of which wasn't really covered in the article, but it would be much better for you to look through the section you edited, and see where individual points you wrote about would best go. Please also remember Misplaced Pages strives for a neutral point of view; your beliefs about what a cooperative is or is not may not be shared by everyone who has experience with cooperatives. Your edits should not state an opinion not shared by all as a fact. Argyriou 05:31, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

To Argyriou,
I have noticed your action regarding my contribution.

Let me add few comments:
- English is not my primary language, so it is possible that a meaning very clear to me sounds or understood differently to an English speaking born.

- A page about cooperative should contain, IMHO, a complete information about cooperatives and cooperative movement worldwide. The page now is limited to the official ICA approach, which is not the only one. I may say that this approach prove to be a failure in many parts of the world.

- I have tried to present a another approach to cooperative, and an approach developed in Israel during tenth of years. I can't see a reason why this approach shouldn't be presented on the Misplaced Pages.
More than this: there are cooperatives in the world who have followed in one way or another this approach. More information can be found: http://www.coopgalor.com/realization.html
A very successful example in the U.S.A can be read here: http://www.coopgalor.com/realization/Oklahoma.html

- This approach is backed by papers published in different places, including ICA. These papers can be read at: http://www.coopgalor.com/i_publications.html#Whats_coop
I hope a reconsideration of your decision would be possible and that my text would find its place on the Misplaced Pages.

Regards

== cross-posting ==

It really looks like you cross posted to ] in good faith, so please take this as a friendly tip rather than a warning: it's better to post a page diff from the edit history or introduce a quotation and use italics if you really feel the need to cut and paste. Emulating another editor's signature is bad form, and an ''administrator's'' signature is dangerous territory. Another user (who was in a very different position from your own) when from a one week block to a site ban for impersonating an administrator the other day. I don't think anyone will misinterpret the particular cross post you did, but don't make it a habit. Regards, ''']''' 04:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that Network Marketing link. I thought it might have a chance of being worthy of inclusion because I've got experience in the NM industry and wrote that post about how to know the difference between a legitimate company and a pyramid or other type of scam.

Hello, you summarized with "fix archiving, I hope". The archiving is not broken.

In other words, the unarchived discussions from 2010, left unmolested, would have been archived on the third anniversary (26297 hours) of the bot subst (January 18, 2014 → January 18, 2017).

Tom McClintock's page on Misplaced Pages has ample evidence of his legislative efforts and accomplishments. There is more, but I am not in possession of those citations. The information I wanted to add was tp testify as to his abilities that led to his success in being elected and holding office. Most of the other biographical pages on Misplaced Pages include information on conditions and events in the person's life that impacted his or her career and are included with out citations. Many people running for public office need improvement in the manner in which they deliver their message to voters. Tom McClintock's participation in Toastmasters was part of preparation for being effective in politics. The insert was positive and complementary. I'm sure that if McClintock were asked, he would confirm his speaking assignments in those early days in Thousand Oaks, California.

Hi Argyriou. Edits like this are really not productive or fair. The user you gave this warning to was not carrying out vandalism, which is what that template is clearly intended for. If you are in dispute with the user over content, then continue to engage he him and other users in the discussions. Issuing vandalism warnings, particularly ones that threaten a block, is very counterproductive and disruptive. I appreciate you do not like the fact that the user removed an external link, but it wasn'yt vandalism, and was not deserving of that message.

Please, don't use such templates again unless warning people actively engaged in obvious vandalism. Removing a link is not vandalism - it is a content dispute, which can hopefully be resolved civilly and maturely without resorting to threats of blocking and suchlike. If you have any questions, let me know. All the best, ]<i>::</i><small>]</small> 11:32, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

:Removing a link which was previously removed, and was restored following discussion on the article's talk page, with no additional justification other than the same justification which was previously rejected, '''is''' vandalism. If Sir Nicholas had gone to the trouble of looking on the article's talk page, either before or after, and said anything to justify re-deleting the link, then it would have been a content dispute. As it is, Sir Nicholas is engaging in vandalism. ''']''' <small>]</small> 02:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

::Please don't be so quick to label content disputes as vandalism. Vandalism would have been replacing the link with U ALL SUCK LOL! or something similar. This is a dispute over content. As soon as you label someone a vandal, you immediately upset them if they believe they are acting in good faith (which is the case here), and you show yourself as being unprepared to listen to the other's point of view (also the case here). I very much appreciate you believe you are acting to restore legitimate content, but, please, consider continuing to participate in the discussions rather than labelling people as vandals when it is not clear vandalism; doing so is disruptive and incivil, and it's really not helping your case.

== Message on diocese ==

Hi there,

Just some background; I have been fixing the diocese in Ireland because they're a bit of a mess. There are links back and forth between Anglican (Church of Ireland) and Catholic dioceses in various articles--it causes confusions. I am well on the way to sorting that out.

Now, with regard to adding a country tag to the name, I can see a reason why that would not be needed. In Catholicism at least, the Vatican won't erect a new diocese with an existing name. Where I have seen ambiguity is where the reformation resulted in co-territorial dioceses with identical names. I see the issue as falling along denominational and not geograhic lines. I have started to added the denomination to all clergy and related items--though I only started Wikipediaing three days ago, so I just figured out how to do it. I have to go back and redo some of the pages I wrote up recently.

Thanks for the feedback.

] 07:22, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

:You're welcome. You're right that in ordinariy usage, the country of the diocese need not be listed; however, it is a convenience to people who see a diocese name without knowing which country it is in (and the English-speaking and Spanish-speaking countries have this problem in a huge way), and it's also convenient if it's ever desired to re-organize the list on a per-country basis. I'm willing to do the grunt-work of finding the country for those where it's not listed, but it makes life easier if people adding new dioceses to the listings include the country. Somewhere down the road, that's going to cause a mess when the Northern Irish nationalists discover that the Church considers Belfast to be Ireland. Until then, I'd like to see countries listed.

== Kelly Ellard ==
Regarding the article, I guess, it could be merged with the Reena Virk article. I understand it didn't make much news in the United States, but it was big news in Canada. I live in Canada and the same province where this murder was high-profiled. I don't know what more can be added to the article, because a lot is not known about Kelly Ellard's personal life. The most we know about her is that she had a lot of behavior problems in school. She's got one older brother and her family stands by their belief she is innocent. ] 06:49, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
:I'm not sure that the murder-of-the-week rates a Misplaced Pages article, even if it did make a big news splash. ] made a big splash in the Bay Area when he was killed recently, but ultimately, it's just another murder. ] rates an article ''only'' because he's the son of a Congressman and because someone wanted to score political points in the article about his father.

It's the only co-op in the USCA with a redlink. I started a stub for it (albeit an extremely lame one, even for a stub) and it was speedied. I didn't notice there was a previous AfD (see below, last link). The arguments seemed to be that there was no info other than USCA for it--here are two more news refs. It's weird, because some other, newer, smaller, less noteworthy co-ops have articles which only cite the USCA. I don't get what the deal is with no Loth article.

You recently restored, and then modified slightly, an edit by 117.193.221.118. The original edit was a verbatim copy from the UGS web-site, which although not itself a breach of copyright nevertheless it is highly undesirable for Misplaced Pages to being a mirror of another site , especially without the source being acknowledged. Your revised text still has considerable sections of identical text to the source web-site. This particular IP has also dumped a great slab of cut and paste material into Groundwater which has been reverted. This is not an editing pattern to be encouraged.  Velella    00:31, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

I'll clean up some more and source the material at groundwater if the IP doesn't in the next day or so. The material is useful, though it does need some rewriting to be properly encyclopedic, and my edits didn't do a full job of that. I'm not going to mess with the hydrology article.

Portland cement

Portland cement is a patented product only used in a few specific engineering situations, not usually in home construction. Portland cement posts are quite obviously designed to advertise Portand cement incorrectly as the only pozzolan across wiki subjects cement, concrete and pozzolan. If wiki policy allows advertising then I am wrong. I have also included a post from an article of a published author. Please let me if that information is allowed. OldyJohn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OldyJohn (talk • contribs) 02:09, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

You're wrong. Portland cement was invented in 1824, and even if it were patented back then, the patent expired over a century ago. "Portland Cement" is the generic term for a hydraulic cement which has calcium, aluminum, and silicon oxides in a form which creates calcium-aluminum-silicates when mixed with water. Portland cement is not a pozzolan, though its manufacture can include pozzolans. Argyriou (talk) 02:16, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

ANI post

Thanks for finding and reporting that. Per WP:EMERGENCY, I've emailed the WMF, who have people on staff who evaluate these kind of things and decide what to do. To keep this low-key, I've removed your post from ANI. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:14, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. The edit was made almost exactly 48 hours before I noticed it; I hope it wasn't too late. Argyriou (talk) 19:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
I hope so too, but 99%+ of the time these are false alarms, so don't stress about it. Now that the WMF has a system in place to deal with this stuff, I report things like this out of an abundance of caution. They're likely to have better judgement than me. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:28, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

"Fixing" archiving

Hello, you summarized this edit with "fix archiving, I hope". The archiving is not broken. The root cause is that apparently {{ESp}} is supposed to be substed, but there is no mistake-proofing for this at edit time, so the fix is to run a bot every few years to ensure that it is, effectively "refreshing" stale discussions. In other words, the unarchived discussions from 2010, left unmolested, would have been archived on the third anniversary (26297 hours) of the bot subst (January 18, 2014 → January 18, 2017). Also, just for the record, breaking up the ClueBot III parameters into separate lines has no effect on its behavior. I am glad to see that you use date-based archiving, however, as I believe it to be the best option for low-volume talk pages. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 22:34, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

So if I change the archiving schedule to less than one year, the things which have been changed more than a year ago (such as those edits) will be archived? I changed the archive interval to 3000 hours (125 days) in my recent edits. I'm not familiar with ClueBot's inner workings, so I don't know if it's going to wait until 2017, or if it will at some time go back and archive anything that hasn't been edited since August 25.
It also appears that ClueBot is not functioning properly right now, either. If it's not fixed soon, I might switch the talk page to lowecase sigma bot. Argyriou (talk) 22:56, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if it's going to wait until 2017, or if it will at some time go back and archive anything that hasn't been edited since August 25. In my experience, if you wait anywhere from a few hours to a few days, ClueBot III will do its work as advertised. If you want something immediate, you can always manually archive the discussions.
Note: "left unmolested" means "if you hadn't changed the age parameter". You changed the age parameter, so ClueBot III will honor those changes.
It also appears that ClueBot is not functioning properly right now. ClueBot III properly archived this page four hours ago. If you are patient, ClueBot III will do as you have directed in your updates to its template on Talk:List of multi-level marketing companies. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 23:28, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Testifying to Tom McClintock's abilities

Tom McClintock's page on Misplaced Pages has ample evidence of his legislative efforts and accomplishments. There is more, but I am not in possession of those citations. The information I wanted to add was tp testify as to his abilities that led to his success in being elected and holding office. Most of the other biographical pages on Misplaced Pages include information on conditions and events in the person's life that impacted his or her career and are included with out citations. Many people running for public office need improvement in the manner in which they deliver their message to voters. Tom McClintock's participation in Toastmasters was part of preparation for being effective in politics. The insert was positive and complementary. I'm sure that if McClintock were asked, he would confirm his speaking assignments in those early days in Thousand Oaks, California. If he read his Misplaced Pages page, he would be pleased people remember. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.150.34.242 (talk) 19:58, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Komandorsky Village

I don't know if it exists today but it certainly did in 1967. I lived there with my mother while my step dad SK1 Kirby D Glasscock Jr. was serving a tour in Vietnam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.120.100.114 (talk) 22:39, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Concrete categories on Commons

Dear Argyriou,

I noticed you contributed to Concrete and mention concrete on your user page.

Would you maybe be inclined to contribute to the questions concerning the arrangement of the categories on concrete on Wikimedia Commons which JopkeB lists on my talk page.

We are in need of a native speaker with insight into the matter as currently me as a German, JopkeB from the Netherlands and a Portugese user are struggling with the correct terminology.

thank you very much for you attention,
