Queen WikiProject

Hello, I've seen you around editing some of Queen's articles. Would you consider becoming a member of Queen WikiProject, a collaborative effort which works to improve the coverage of Queen related articles on Misplaced Pages? If you're interested, join us!

Keep up the good work

Hey I've looked at your previous edits and i have to say you're one of the few editors I've seen in a while who can edit things with a NPOV tone (way better than me haha...but I'm trying). Keep up the good work buddy. JahnTeller07 (talk) 22:42, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

FWIW, JahnTeller07 has been indefinitly blocked as a sock puppet of a banned user. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:30, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

News Corporation Donation To Republican Governors Association

First of all, I do not work for nor am at all involved with DailyKOS nor any of its writers and contributors. I merely wanted it to be on record that News Corporation, Fox News Parent Company, had recently donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. The New York Times reported the story on August 17th, despite other news sources reluctance to do so. I made no reference to Rupert Murdoch. I cited my source from the New York Times own website. You moved the notation to a different (and I would AGREE) more relevant section of the Fox News page. Then you deleted it. I put it back. You've deleted it again. Hmmmm. I noticed that you've been reported for edit warring before, so I'm reinserting this without discussion because the fact of this donation is not in dispute. Why should we have to 'discuss' facts that are not in dispute? If you are going to remove it, I believe you owe all of us who read and care about the future of Misplaced Pages and the free and transparent communication of facts and knowledge an explanation for this deletion. While I agree that the continued vandalism of Misplaced Pages by both sides of the aisle is counterproductive, I disagree that anyone should remove simple statements of facts because they think them unimportant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DarkSummoner (talk • contribs) 03:48, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Contentious edits

Please don't give me the standard 'Misplaced Pages is a community' defense. The whole point of an encyclopedia is to record human history. ALL OF IT. Countless millenia of human history both great and minute is lost because no one wrote it down.

Fact. News Corp donated the money. Fact. They own Fox News Channel. Why is this fact and the inclusion of its reporting by the New York Times contentious other than with people who defend Fox News and its right leaning tendencies?

Misplaced Pages is not designed to be a collection of all things said and done. If you want to start a collection of everything, go right ahead, but that is WP:NOT what wikipedia is about. Arzel (talk) 04:20, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

How dare you. You have no proof. I demand that you cancel this investigation. Hinata talk 01:46, 25 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.28.104.248 (talk)

LOL, that is some kind of way of impersonating me. BTW, I never did that. Hinata talk 13:00, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Newscorp

There is now discussion in the media about the connection between Newscorp's contributions and Fox News. I agree that it should be covered, but I have opposed editors who try to make the connection themselves. It is disappointing that the opponents of Fox News have never presented high quality sources to defend their views. TFD (talk) 02:30, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Soxwon. I just wanted to drop a note and say thanks for the good job you did in analyzing all the include !votes in the Fox News (actually NewsCorp) donation RfC . It looked tedious, but I think it will be helpful. Although I don't personally think the non-SPA editors that haven't been recently active or haven't edited that page should necessarily be given less weight in evaluating consensus. SPAs are, of course, a different story. BTW, you might find this discussion interesting. Thanks. — Becksguy (talk) 19:43, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

RfC: Partisan sources

I have proposed an edit for the mainspace of an important Misplaced Pages policy, the Misplaced Pages:Identifying reliable sources policy. Essentially, I believe that some sources are so partisan that using them as "reliable sources" invites more problems than they're really worth. You've previously participated in the RfC on this subject, or another related discussion indicating that you are interested in this important policy area. Please indicate here whether you support or oppose the proposed edit. The original discussion is here. Thanks. Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 01:50, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

BLP/N

Currently there appears to be some who believe an editorial is RS for factual claims about people (the Kochs). Please look over that way, and correct me where I am in error. Thanks! Collect (talk) 19:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Sources on FNC

Since you are interested in adding good sources to Fox News Channel, will you also be adding scholarly sources, including journalism-related articles and books? Viriditas (talk) 22:13, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Calling spades

Hi Soxwon. Thank you for your note. It certainly deserves a thoughtful and reasoned response, but I'm a little short on time right now and won't be back online for several days. I just wanted to let you know I wasn't ignoring you.  :) //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 09:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
