I'm totally stalking your contributions as we work on this. Sorry. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 03:06, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

That's fine, I noticed you edited the Japanese organization page. I think we left messages on each others talk pages at the same time. _WM _{Please leave me a wb if you reply} 03:07, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I notice that Edris Rice-Wray Carson received a Sanger award, but was she otherwise associated with PP? I don't think every recipient should be in the category if that was their only significant interaction with PP. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 03:16, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't see much in the article at this point to justify it, but this does seem promising: "medical director of the Puerto Rico Family Planning Association. She founded Mexico's first family planning clinic in Mexico City." I wouldn't be surprised if that's the IPPF affiliate in Puerto Rico, the list on the website has it called "Asociación Puertorriqueña Pro-Bienestar de la Familia" which Google Translate makes into "Puerto Rican Association Pro-Welfare Family" which seems close enough. You can remove it if you want though. _WM _{Please leave me a wb if you reply} 03:20, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

It looks like you're right. Cool! Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 03:26, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Wikiman, there is no need to put something into an article twice in two different spots, especially when the current edit is somewhat incoherent. NYyankees51 (talk) 18:52, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

This doesn't belong on my talk page, it belongs on the article talk page. _WM _{Please leave me a wb if you reply}

Cheeky request

Hi, I'm wondering whether you could try to grab a page from a journal for me, since you're in the US? I can only see snippet view because of stupid copyright differences between the US & UK (particularly stupid, since this journal is too old even for UK copyright laws to apply). It's page 371 of this . I realise that you may not want to email it to me because that might disclose your address, but I'll figure out some way round this if needs be. And no worries if you're not comfortable with doing this or do not have the time. I've got loads of these queries & think I'll have to spread then around a bit. It is either that or a 400+ mile round trip drive to the library! Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 18:58, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Ouch! When I say p. 371, I'm assuming that the entire story is on that page. It's about Charles Galloway, who features in W & J Galloway & Sons. - Sitush (talk) 19:14, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not seeing that you can get anything more than snippet view, unfortunately... I'll try looking at it from school on Monday. _WM _{Please leave me a wb if you reply} 22:10, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok. I'm grateful to you for even trying. These copyright shenanigans are very weird ... and very frustrating! US copyright laws are liberal cf. the UK and I find it astonishing that there might be a restriction on your side of the pond as well. I'm starting to think that the issue is sometimes related to incorrect metadata, incorrectly flagging content. I may have to contact Mr. Google and ask him why, even though he knows so much, he is not willing to share <g> - Sitush (talk) 00:51, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Why did you revert all my edits? did you notice i removed some clearly nonnotable, POV material? i can see selective editing, with some discussion, but not this. did you think i was vandalising the article? i did say i would do this, per the article talk page. i have also added notable material, and was about to add another notable faculty member, Andy Duncan, when i found you had reverted. can we talk about this on the articles talk page. by the way, i like your statements about the madison uprising.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:17, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

You are right, my apologies. I've been going through recent changes so I may have accidentally clicked or misread your edits. I have undone my undo. Thanks for pointing this out. Thanks for your kind words regarding the protesters. I honestly believe this is the best thing that has happened to our country since President Obama was elected. _WM _{Please leave me a wb if you reply} 07:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

no, thank you for your honesty and politeness. I always start to get a head of steam up when someone edits my edits, and i remind myself that i dont know whats happening unless i ask. Thanks for watching out for malicious editing, i know that an article dropping in size so quickly is alarming. yes, and the uprising, along with the various middle east uprisings, is exhilarating. I suspect that Obama has been hoping for some sort of mass protests, as he has said repeatedly he cant do his work alone. He is walking a tightrope (i also think he is a natural victim of the power and pressure of the office, and may be leaning towards neoliberalism more than he wants to), and the people are his safety net. oh, and your user page said you are semi retired, but i noticed you had quite a few edits this month. I hope you are enjoying your return, if it is one.this work is ridiculously addictive, but at least we are doing something productive. PS i dont know what a WB is, unless its simply replying on your user talk page.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:28, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

You could say I am attempting to back away from this editing and have recently been limiting myself to mostly signing on once a day. There is so many other things to do, but particularly on social issues related articles there are a huge number of right wing POV editors who constantly attempt to insert their POV to articles which is what I have primarily been focusing on lately, although I prefer editing articles that are less controversial. The polarizing ones seem to be the ones that require the most help if you will. My most substantial edits recently have been on the Planned Parenthood article, which before I got started on it was a catalogue of anti-choice stings on health centers, with more room devoted to criticism than everything else combined. Once that article stabilizes, I will probably more fully remove myself from editing. _WM _{Please leave me a wb if you reply} 07:36, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
