Tubal factor infertility

This is basically PID and should be redirect there IMO. Is there an ICD code for this as a separate condition? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10: 26, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. The reason why I turn this into a separate article is that there is enough information contained in the Sternak and other journals to warrant a totally separate article. I have not inserted all information relevant to this topic which gets more into the specific damage treatment and repair of the fallopian tubes. FTI has other causes than just PID. In addition one can have tubal factor infertility that is not caused by PID. Also, different organisms have a different propensity and causing tubal factor infertility. I do have to go back and double check the coding which may not be perfectly accurate at this point of time. Article is by no means perfect or complete at this point. But since there is so much overlap in the topics of PID and tubal factor infertility, it was just economical to work on both articles at the same time. There is a lot of specific information related to tubal infertility factor that would be too detailed to include in the PID article.    Bfpage | leave a message  10: 37, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes true. You would have endometriosis as another cause. I withdraw my suggestion. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12: 10, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

You do make an excellent point. though. In my reading, there is much overlap between Ectopic pregnancy, TFI, and PID. TFI and PID can cause EP. TFI can be caused by PID. Treatment for PID is for infectious disease. Treatment for TFI is treatment for possible infectious disease AND correction of conditions that block the tubes. The whole path of cause and effect is what is so fascinating for me at this point.

You haven't read this yet since I am preparing it to insert into the PID article, but PID has a measurable effect on pregnancy outcomes. A history of PID and subsequent recurring PID results in premature births, higher than average infant mortality, sepsis and a whole host of other problems with newborns - this according to Sternak. Does this belong in a new section in the PID article?

re:thank you

No problem! Your message might have been the first thanks I've had for page patrol stuff in the 7ish years I've been here, so it made my day. It's also nice to see decent articles in the new pages log from time to time. Have you ever considered becoming autopatrolled by the way? I don't know if you qualify for it... or if its still a thing for that matter, but the more article authors who become autopatrolled, the more time it saves. Cheers, Ryan shell (talk) 19:09, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your thank you. I am about 20 articles short of being autopatrolled at this point. I always thought it wasn't quite 'fair' to put so much effort into patrolling new pages and getting so little 'credit' for it, really. After all, it doesn't add up to a whole lot of edits and if you really think something is suspicious, you could end up spending a good twenty minutes sniffing out a hoax, non-notable-author-created-off-wiki-fake references, and just some plain weirdness. I do what you do because new page patrolling is a pretty important thing to do and so I appreciate you giving the article your stamp of approval. The Very Best of Regards, and your new friend,

Draft:She she she

any help is gratefully accepted. This draft is a result of trying to source BLM firefighters just after the onset of WWII being drafted and being replaced by women in jobs that were seasonal fighting wildland forest fires. Many came from the She-She-She program of 33'-37'.

I need help identifing lines that appear to violate copyright, can you help?

Your article already exists I am about 99% sure that this article already exists and it is called: Civilian Conservation Corp. I am old enough to remember my parents and grandparents talking about this FDR program that it existed to stimulate the economy back in the 30s or 40s. It used to be referred to as: the CCC. I am thinking that is what you are trying to make the title sounds like. The content of your article also matches the content of this already existing article. I'm not sure how you want to proceed from here. But let me know what you want to do next. Best Regards

Think it should open for review?

I added a bunch of pictures, will probably cull, is there a method to do a gallery? Robco311 22:40, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Baked alaska trout for you

Lets disagree on this one. The article on the CCC, under minorities, lists a link to the She+, that says it needs to be created. In that entire article that's the only place women are mentioned.

Lets go to draft! I need to suss out any bad sentences, can you help? BeeCeePhoto (talk) 21:08, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure that you understand what probably is going to happen to this article. I have nominated it for deletion because of all of its problems. Do you understand the process?

Last bit for the article Hilda Worthington Smith

I wanted to use a statement from an interview held by the FDR Library. Can it be considered public domain and usable?

Background---- in 1937 the programs smith initiated but couldn't in 1933 call it by it's name became the W.P.A.'s Workers Education Service.--

Smith also wanted to teach “workers’ education”, a term that had a strong communist association. She related years later, “I hardly dared mention it because it was so unpopular.”

Workers'education was ... "unusual because it involved three groups virtually ignored at the time: women, blue collar workers, and blacks.." --Priscilla Van Tassel, New York Times, June 24, 1984, NJ5. (Caption for HWSmith picture) from the interview for the story in times

And what is workers' education? I think the first thing is to say what workers' education is and what it is not. I'd like to say, first, it is not vocational education. Many people think that that is what it is; it's not trade training for workers. That's entirely separate, should supplement workers' education and go along with it. But it is not the same thing. Workers' education is a specialized branch of adult education. It covers in general the economic and labor problems related to the experience of industrial workers, office workers, farmers, anything that touches the economic field. It is also and usually supplemented with much work in English, with elementary science, social psychology, with history, with a background of life in the United States. It touches: employers' problems, trade union problems, the worker in the community as citizen, the government's relation to industry and to the labor movement.

Interview with Hilda Worthington Smith, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, NY, October 17, 1963

I still have to edit it, but I feel this goes under LIFE PHILOSOPHY, what's your take on it?? --- See the Talk on the article...

Category:Infectious causes of cancer

Please review your recent additions of this category to articles which are not about pathogens or malignancies. I can see where some of the subjects might be tangentially related to the category, but they don't necessarily belong in the category. --Versageek 00:09, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Versageek. Please review WP:NPOV, WP:CAT and the the actual category definition for Category:Infectious causes of cancer.- MrX 01:13, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Versageek and MrX for taking an interest in reviewing this category and its appropriateness. It has been interesting to me that the creation of the category would even have a hint of controversy attached to it and I remain somewhat surprised. Various pathogens ranging from viruses to nematodes and flukes are strongly linked to increasing the risk of cancer in humans. Each of the articles in this category support the connection of increased cancer risk with reliable secondary and tertiary citations to reliable medical journals. This category links these diverse topics. I have reviewed WP:NPOV, WP:CAT and have not been able to find content that would call into question the existence of the category or its contents. I admit I am surprised that NPOV is an issue, since I basically insert references after summarizing contents of a journal article. My opinion on the topic is quite irrelevant - I am editing the contents of recent (within the past five years or so) medical journal articles and placing the information into the appropriate articles. You aren't the only ones that have questioned this category and its contents: WikiProject Medicine Talk page discussion on the same topic.

Best Regards,   Bfpage |leave a message  17:24, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

It is not the creation of the category that I personally had issue with, but the articles you chose to include as "infectious causes of cancer", including Condom , Men who have sex with men and Sex education among others. The category description page states that "the articles in this category support the connection of increased cancer risk", but Condom states a decreased risk, Men who have sex with men's cancer statement is specifically about the presence of HPV, and Sex education in itself cannot possibly cause cancer. It is a reasonable category to have when applied properly. That was not the case on its creation. HalJor (talk) 22:43, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Similarly, adding "Pelvic inflamatory disease" as a category to Abstinence is wholly unnecessary. HalJor (talk) 22:54, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

I have a piece up in my sandbox that is in need of further work. If you think it may be viable as a legitimate article;

maybe we can work on improving it together... The working title is the Pyrrhan Society and I can email it if you can't find it in my sandbox, 

it's about the 'FirstBorn', women of the fire service who are the first in title to Chief, firefighter, paramedic or ems worker.

spacing problems

This is regarding your 27 March 2015 edit to Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style with edit summary: "(added spacing per MOS:HEAD for readability in the edit window)".

I'm not sure if your change from standard to optional header spacing is a good idea. It seems counter-productive, since there are automated scripts that, on occasion, check for and eliminate unnecessary spaces and blank lines. There are a few places with {{anchor}}s on lines by themselves (which don't display) which had extra blank lines added afterward, which caused extra blank line space in the display version. In section "Punctuation inside or outside", an extra visual space appeared after the header when an extra blank line was added before a <!--comment--> line. Those are just a few of the things I noticed that need correction. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Cheers. —Telpardec  TALK  16:56, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

I think what prompted my edit was something that I read in the documentation for the WIKIEd program instructions where the rationale for spacing correction was explained by the author. BUT if I edited something that is going to 'screw up' some scripts that are already in place and working just fine, I want to put things back to the way they were, that is for certain. I will definitely go back and make things right. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. Best Regards,   Bfpage |leave a message  17:02, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Hallo, This article is now up for deletion as a possible hoax, but in looking at its history I was surprised by this edit of yours. "Gotten" is American English, not current British English, and although Jersey isn't technically part of the UK I'm pretty sure they speak nearer to UK English than US English! I'd changed it back to British English before becoming more and more doubtful about the entire article, having come across it while stub-sorting. PamD 10:53, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

GA process

Hi, you asked for feedback.

First, many thanks for the review and the hard work that went into it.

Since you ask, it was a bit confusing to see so much material which I think was rather intended to guide you, not us: the person who made the tool seems to have had the focus of assisting the reviewer, whereas the nominating editors need simple corrections and suggestions - do this, fix that, add a reference here, rephrase that sentence. So perhaps next time you might keep the tool's output on a page in your sandbox, and use anything helpful it came up with in your own words to direct the review? I think that's my only comment. Hope it's taken in good faith. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:53, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Why thank you very much for the feedback. I took a look at how the other reviewers 'documented' their process and thought it was too arbitrary and and subjective. Since it was my first review, I felt that it would be in my best interest to document the process in greater detail than what I saw on other pages. But your advice is well-taken. Next time, I will create a subpage for my own use to document the process so that I don't leave any details out that are described in the instructions. Have you ever done a review?

Yes, many: they are listed on my user page. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:04, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Part of the review process did not suggest that wikilinks be assessed, but personally I feel that more wls would be helpful, especially to younger readers who may need to have more of the terms defined. Would you mind if I went in and inserted some wls? Feel free to revert those you feel are unnecessary.

Now about the comprehensiveness of the article: I mentioned the lack of wikilinks before. But I noticed there was nothing about tree crickets. I hope I don't sound too strange when I tell you that one of the highlights of my summers here in Western Pennsylvania are the very loud sounds of tree crickets-they go at it at about 80 dB in the evening, making it difficult to even communicate to someone standing next to you. Do you have plans to trying to bring this article up to a featured article? I would be glad to help.

  Bfpage |leave a message  19:04, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you also for your review which was very thorough. In future I suggest you stick to the things that you feel need improving and leave out the aspects with which you are satisfied. You could consider the review as a two way process designed to improve the article and make sure it reaches a certain standard. So, you could be more specific in your comments - if you find "weasel words" you object to, for example, you could specify what and where they are.

The reason the tree crickets are not included is that they are in the family Gryllidae in a different suborder Ensifera. Chiswick Chap and I have no immediate plans to take Grasshopper to FA, but may do so sometime in the future. Personally I think the gap between a normal article and a GA is more worth while filling than the GA / FA gap, which is mostly about comprehensiveness and nit-picking. Unless you think this article is un-comprehensive in other ways, how about jointly working on the article Cricket (insect) to try to bring it to GA or further? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:38, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Recent edits to Michael Harner biography

Thank you for working on Dr. Harner's biography for a more neutral point of view. I have been meaning to reach out to you for help with this article as there is much that needs editing (like the concept of core shamanism) which I would like to propose on the Talk page. I've done quite a lot of research on Dr. Harner, core shamanism, and neoshamanism voluntarily and find there are many, more scholarly references than those I disputed on the Talk page. Also, I believe I now have secondary sources for most, if not all, of the references to the Foundation for Shamanic Studies Journal Shamanism which I believe is the issue about primary sources since these are articles written by Dr. Harner. I can provide these on the Talk page - would that be the right way to proceed? Is there a better way for us to communicate directly about this? Bashamfour (talk) 23:47, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for getting in touch with me about helping out with this article but I could not edit from a neutral point of view, I am afraid. I am quite flattered that you perceive that I am able to edit from a neutral point of view - but on this topic, that won't be possible for me. I did, however, post a helpful search template on the talk page of the article that should help you and any other editor find additional information and sources that will help with the article. The Very Best of Regards,

Thanks!

Thanks for your thanks, Bfpage.... it means a lot. I'm struggling with the atmosphere over there. It's hard to get the page to reflect things that i think are very important and to make sure that edits stick. There's a team of people who seem to be motivated to reduce any exposure of the chemical industry judging by the pattern of edits. I support proper sourcing but it seems they are maximizing contentiousness according to every little guideline they can muster and using guidelines as tools for obstruction and not for the spirit in which they were intended. Have you ever seen this before on pages relating to industries with some things that they would prefer to not have so publicly visible? How do you think i ought to best proceed? SageRad (talk) 16:35, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Bfpage has a history of egging on disruptive editors, as Flyer22 can attest and which Bfpage was warned about at ANI. I suggest you both be careful here. Jytdog (talk) 16:58, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I would like to point out that it may be uncivil of you to call User:Flyer22 a 'disruptive editor'. I have more respect for her than that and have never referred to her as being disruptive. She is excellent at catching vandalism and has a staggering amount of edits attributed to her account. Best Regards,

  Bfpage |leave a message  17:28, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

stop editing my comment as you did here and here. i did not highlight it red, nor did i make anything bold nor underline anything (original comment is here which i have not edited since) and by doing that, you are changing it. I did not call Flyer22 a disruptive editor. Jytdog (talk) 17:34, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

What are you all into and about Jytdog ... coming on this page after he simply thanks me, "suggesting" we both "be careful" ... about what? Cause s/he thanked me for my editing? And calling me "disruptive" .... what is your issue, Jytdog? Really, this is not appropriate. Are you the police of Misplaced Pages? Sure seems like it. In my opinion, your editorship is disruptive and harmful for Misplaced Pages. I don't think you're really HERE as you put it. I'm sure you'll find a way to use this new comment of mine to cite me for something else, and build up the long list of BS on my personal talk page... I really do not think you are WP:HERE, Jytdog. I think you're THERE. SageRad (talk) 07:16, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Seems kind of stalk-y in itself that you would post a message here. Weird. Jeez. SageRad (talk) 07:26, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

You have run into some editors who believe that helping the encyclopedia means to scrutinize edits to make certain that they meet the standards that they think should apply. You have made important, valuable and numerous edits that have or will help those looking for the information that you have provided. Some editors seem to thrive on contentiousness and will participate quite predictably in all sorts of discussions on whether or not other editors should be blocked or ban; you can read this in their editing history. Please don't be discouraged! You are doing a great job.

  Bfpage |leave a message  12:25, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Bfpage, SageRad got off to a very rocky start here, adding unsourced and poorly-sourced content to several articles. It is great that he wants to be here, but he needs to learn - and importantly, is learning - to follow WP:VERIFY, WP:MEDRS, and WP:RS. It is great that he is learning, and that is what you should indeed encourage. Please be careful not to encourage policy- and guideline-violating behavior. Thanks.

List of Telangana-related articles

Hello. I'm wondering why you did not just move the index page to its new title?! Pages should never be moved by copy & paste because that breaks the revision history which, in turn, is required for attribution of the Creative Commons and GFDL lincences of the content. Now an administrator will have to perform a history merger which can be quite complicated and is just unnecessary work. So, for future reference, next time please use the "move" tab on top of the page. De728631 (talk) 16:09, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Apologies! The last thing I want to do is create work for someone else. I do not see a 'move' tab in my editing window, but I will read up on the details on how to do it correctly. I am SO sorry.

  Bfpage |leave a message  16:12, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Don't worry. If you don't see the move tab, you might want to check your user "preferences" and change the skin for Misplaced Pages. If you're using the default Vector skin, the move option is hidden in a dropdown menu called "More" on top of the page. I have now merged the histories of the two pages so you can continue editing the new list article. De728631 (talk) 16:22, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

As this article is read by 1000s of people a day I am not a big fan of putting a large template at the top of it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:02, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

I rarely use that template but since so much material was being moved I felt that it would be courteous to the other editors and readers to let them know that it was being actively worked on. If a reader, even thousands, sees the template they will know the dynamic nature of the encyclopedia and know that it is always being improved. I have to quietly and respectfully disagree. In addition, the template would have been off by now if I had been able to continue editing without interuption. Best Regards,

Onlinejonathan, your proposed article is really not an encyclopedia article-that is what Misplaced Pages is meant to be. For a company or business to be considered notable enough to have an article written about it there needs to be news coverage (at least) from an independent news source that provides information about that company. I did a search of the internet regarding this company and there are no new stories that describe or critique the company. Misplaced Pages is not really a directory of industries or businesses and the ones that are listed have had independent news stories written about them by independent news services. Also, Misplaced Pages isn't meant to be a way to promote a business or company and that is what this article appears to be. Do you know of any reliable sources unaffiliated with this business that have written reviews or commented on it?

  Bfpage |leave a message  20:21, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Bfpage Thank you so much for being that fast! well i will try my best to explain..its not meant to promot at all and there is a hebrew wiki for it as well. I placed a few links for other sources as well as hebrew ones. There are a few in the References section and there are more such as http://tv2.hu/musoraink/aktiv/162447_rubint_reka_mar_tudja_mit_vesz_kisfianak_karacsonyra.html or http://www.nrg.co.il/online/54/ART2/305/595.html . Also, there is on wiki an other company doing the same basically and its called Mad Science. If its a case of being too promoting, I will try to rewrite (please help :( ) and i can get more links i believe although it seems odd that a company winning the prince award is declined.. please see this: http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000056614 . From your knowledge and experience, do you thinks its savable? Onlinejonathan (talk) 22:41, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

This will be a 'tough' challenge. Please provide the following information so that a proper reference can be inserted into the article that shows that the company is/was 'newsworthy' and that it was covered independently by the link you provided above:http://tv2.hu/musoraink/aktiv/162447_rubint_reka_mar_tudja_mit_vesz_kisfianak_karacsonyra.html

The name of the tv station, the country of the tv station, the language of the broadcast, the first and last name of the news anchorwoman, the city and location of the tv station (address not needed), date of the broadcast, network, and station. Just to complicate things further, the template we will use is this:

{{cite AV media

| people =

| title =

| medium =

| publisher =

| location =

| date =

| url = (etc.)

Don't worry about putting the reference in the correct format or wiki-markup, I can do that for you. You can leave all the information I've asked for right here on my talk page. Do you have any other news articles that refer to the company?

BFPage - the last time you were brought up at ANI, I made it crystalclear to you that if you didn't stop the behaviors described in that post then you would find yourself unable to edit Misplaced Pages. You didn't stop the behaviors described in that post. I have blocked you for six months. Kevin Gorman (talk) 14:25, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Request to be unblocked

Bfpage (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I would like to request that I be unblocked. I am not hounding anyone and I am only trying to improve the encyclopedia. You may want to consider the possibility that the other editor may be mistaken and that the perception of being hounded may not be valid. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I would like to request that I be unblocked. I am not hounding anyone and I am only trying to improve the encyclopedia. You may want to consider the possibility that the other editor may be mistaken and that the perception of being hounded may not be valid. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

You may want to consider the possibility that the other editor may be mistaken and that the perception of being hounded may not be valid. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

• Strongly oppose unblock. Bfpage has a history of egging on editors who are behaving badly and the hounding of Flyer22 is very clear. I applaud Kevin Gorman for his perception in seeing through the friendly country artist grandma persona, to the clear pattern of disruptive behavior. Bfpage, you really need to knock that stuff off. If you come back after 6 months, i hope you do concentrate on improving WP. Jytdog (talk) 14:37, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
• BFP, I've rarely seen a set of diffs documenting a problem quite that well. I gave you a chance the last time Flyer brought you to ANI, and instead of reforming you kept acting in the same way. You had a chance to improve the encyclopedia as you state you want to, but by ignoring a generous warning and continuing your behavior, you blew it. Kevin Gorman (talk) 14:40, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
• I was intending to bring this up anyway, but especially since Flyer requested me to - I am open to greatly reducing your block (although since I literally told you I'd block you if you continued your previous behavior, it'll still probably be quite a while.) If you voluntarily agree to a situation that guarantees Flyer doesn't need to take you to ANI again (and blocks will be epic for deliberate violations,) I'd be happy to cut it down. I normally prefer for blockees to outline conditions they'd be comfortable with - do you have any suggestions? Kevin Gorman (talk) 15:01, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear Administrator Kevin Gorman, thank you so much for your continuing to maintain a dialog with me on this matter. From your viewpoint, I imagine that you probably don't 'enjoy' having to deal with situations like this. I prefer to sit on this 'development' for a few days to let things (again!) settle down a bit. Please assume good faith on my part. You will find in my editing history no evidence of this behavior or accusations of this behavior related to interactions with other editors. That is why this has been so baffling for me. In the meantime, you may want to analyze instead the reversions done by Flyer22 to my edits. Take note of the time intervals between my edit and the reversions.

As for being a friendly country artist grandma persona...LOL! I am sorry, personal attacks (is this one?), I have tried to correct my personal information when ever I have the opportunity and this seems like the opportunity. I am a professional visual artist, a member of a 'big-city' juried artist-member organization called The Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, and have made it into almost every show that I have entered, notable by being covered in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and Pittsburgh Tribune Review. I own and run a successful art gallery on one of Pittsburgh's busiest streets showcasing the art of established and emerging artists. I am 57 years-old and a grandmother, yes! I have an undergraduate degree in chemistry and biology (pre-med at that time) have completed half of the work required for a master's degree in public health.

As for friendly - that is probably the best characterization of my talk page editing here on wikipedia. I enjoy welcoming newly registered editors, I answer questions in the Teahouse, I award barnstars, I work in AfC, I post helpful search templates on newly created pages to assist new editors in finding reliable sources. Please check my 'thank' log to see how many people I have thanked for their edits and contributions. I accept and actually flattered by being characterized as being called 'friendly'.

Since I am blocked, I am unable to participate in the discussion on ANI on this matter.

Best Regards,

• The thing is BFP, most editors, most objective analysis (tool-based, etc,) and myself indicate that there is a problem with your editing habits. The ANI thread will continue to stew, and we'll see what comes out of it. Ping me whenever you'd like to discuss this futher - and it probably is a good idea for you to think about it for a few days. I will really do wish you the best, Kevin Gorman (talk) 16:02, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

The tool Editor Interaction Analyzer, used here: is an indication of articles that are regularly vandalized that both Flyer22 and myself restore. This same tool indicates that at least 41 instances Flyer22 edited the same article after I did. If you are using this tool to demonstrate how I come after her to purposefully edit articles that she edits, you are making a mistake. I certainly do not interpret this as stalking or harrassment when she comes after me to edit the same article! This tool indicates that many articles are regularly vandalized and we both restored these articles with STiki. Since Flyer22 uses STiki regularly, it makes sense that Most of the time, my editing on the same article is a reversion of vandalism or a good faith revert - not harassment. Those articles that were edited within minutes are all (except for one) reversions of my edits by Flyer22, not the other way around.

• Bfpage - did you ever acknowledge the bad behavior that led to your warning? I don't recall that you did. As far as I can see you have pressed right on ahead with the promise you made to start following Flyer around back in February. I can't link to a dif, because you moved the discussions about your stalking, to a subpage of your Talk, and then asked for it to be deleted. It is gone - see here. This whole thing is ugly and dark.

The the ANI that was my 'warning' was opened and closed within two hours in the middle of the night. No, I did not have the opportunity to comment on my behavior.

Editing the sexual intercourse and vagina articles

From: the current ANI discussion.

Since I am unable to participate in the discussion on the discussion page I hope it won't be too confusing to bring some of the issues to be addressed here to my talk page. I apologize for the inconvenience of having the discussion taking place in two different locations, but with my block I don't really have another option.

Flyer22 stated: "Bfpage took to heavily editing the Sexual intercourse article, which I interpreted as Bfpage trying to get a rise out of me." The interpretation was in error. I have been researching many medical journal review articles in my article creation activities and come across up-to-date information that would improve the article. I inserted the content with the appropriate references. I did not check to see if the article was heavily edited by Flyer22. Why would I? In good faith, my goal was to improve the encyclopedia with good content and references. These two articles have a high readership and need maintenance to keep up with current research.

If my editing is causing distress, I am saddened. But I also know WP:HERE. Just because those who have an interest in this situation believe that they have identified my behavior as negative, does not make it true. You have to consider the very likely possibility that I am acting in good faith and that editing the same articles as another editor doesn't necessary mean that there is harassment taking place. I am not trying to get a rise out of anyone. Also consider the possibility that past situations between other editors and Flyer22 and the real and actual harrassment that occurred in the past has skewed present perceptions. Best Regards,

Proposal

I think that I can prove a point made by Flyer22 and myself about the effect that STiki has on the perception of hounding and harassment. I would like to propose that that my block be lifted for the sole purpose of me using STiki to find and revert vandalism for a period of one week. Then let us all go back to the interaction analyzer and see what it will tell us. This will be a good test for all of us. I predict that the number of interactions will appear to increase between us due to me reverting vandalism on articles that Flyer22 has reverted before me and we may see the same effect if Flyer22 comes across some vandalism on an article that I have reverted before her. It MAY look like we are following each other around, but this won't be the case. What do you say, Administrator Kevin Gorman? Just reblock me if I do anything except STIki. I will be helping the encyclopedia and at the same time avoiding purposefully editing articles that Flyer22 edits. This will be an excellent experiment for all involved. Best Regards,

• The thing is, Bf, you haven't admitted that you see anything directly involved in your editing as problematic. You didn't even comment at the first ANI, although admittedly it was only open for a couple hours. Every editor to examine your edits sees a problem. Any solution is going to start with you recognizing you have a problem, articulating it, and coming up with a way to avoid it in the future. Kevin Gorman (talk) 21:04, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you again, Kevin Gorman. There is a big problem with the first ANI discussion. It was only open for two hours (is this typical?), in the middle of the night. I was probably asleep.

It is not possible to answer accusations if the discussion was closed! Isn't that discussion closed? It is not possible to participate in a discussion that is closed, but is that what you are asking me? Where and when was I supposed to 'announce'/'admit' wrong-doing if there was no place to do so? Are you saying that, even though that discussion was closed, with no input from me AND the instructions said that no more comments were to be added, you are actually asking me to continue the discussion here on my talk page instead? Am I now, here only on my talk page, supposed to write 'something' that demonstrates that I have a problem? I have to admit something - this process is quite confusing.

You said: Every editor to examine your edits sees a problem. I find this statement confusing also, seeing that out of the 12,969 edits that I've made, 462 have been reverted. That leaves me with 96% of my edits intact. Perhaps you mean that every editor that has commented on the current ANI sees my edits as a problem.
