Advocacy
I find this kind of advocacy extremely sickening so much so that I signing off WP for today. Mrs.EasterBunny (talk) 17:02, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I take your point, it was the conversations on Jimbo's talk page that drew me in to edit the PAW articles in a more neutral way, and a year I am still here. Thanks, SqueakBox 17:08, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Image:HaileSelassieIthefirst.jpg
Hello again, SqueakBox. I posted a while ago about Image:HaileSelassieIthefirst.jpg and requested a better source. You attempted to address the issue, but unfortunately the replacement link you provided was less useful than the original one (because the replacement link didn't work). So I've restored the original source link, and I also restored the better source request for the image.
If you can just explain the steps you take to find this image on the Library of Congress website, I will gladly do my best to help provide a link that is more informative than the one we have now. Please let me know how I can help. —Bkell (talk) 21:44, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- I use the search button this page http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html, run Haile Selassie, make sure I get the gallery view and its the first pic that comes up here which leads me to this page. Thanks, SqueakBox 20:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. I think I've found a URL that will work for others: . Thanks for your help. —Bkell (talk) 22:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Pedophile
I haven't edit warred. I placed a cite needed tag, someone removed it without providing a source (and that is vandalism). If the term is spelled differently in the UK, that has to be sourced, period. TJ Spyke 03:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sigh! No, no, no, no, no. Calling several good faith users vandals is not an argument and so wont help uyou if you revert again in the 3RR report. Thanks, SqueakBox 03:49, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- Doesn't matter now, I have added a source (something that editor Barry refused to). I still know I was right though since you are not supposed to remove a cite needed tag without providing a source. TJ Spyke 03:55, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, Squeak is right. To be fighting over a spelling like that for a reference is ridiculous. That you started edit-warring and template-warning editors over a simple-to-find fact that is not controversial is just as ridiculous. VigilancePrime (talk) 03:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC) :-)
- Squak, WTF is up with you removing the source? Once again the article has NO source for that alternate spelling since you decided to remove to source (and that IS wrong). TJ Spyke 04:42, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

- Well I could tag pedophile but that would be WP:POINT, remember all British people spell it this way and your spelling is as odd to us as ours is to you. And paedophilia, of course, does redirect to pedophilia. I strongly oppose referencing the British version spelling as it implies that the US spelling is more correct or more widespread, and it would be a really negative move for the encyclopedia to accept all US spellings and demand sources for all non-US spellings, such action would be highly disruptive to the encyclopedia and to US/UK relations on wikiepdia so lets not go down there.
