NPOV Marilyn Carroll[edit]

I aded NPOV to the page because I thin it needs a fuller and more objective presentation of its research and the justifications given for it. By the use of one sided quotations, it comes very close to being an attack page. I merely left the tag, because I did not have time to do the work yesterday. 19:59, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Carroll picture.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Carroll picture.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi. The picture is copyrighted. Wikipedia's current non-free content policies do not allow us to use other people's photos of living individuals without the owner's permission.

Sock Puppet?[edit]

I get the feeling the Carniv may be a sock puppet for Mnpfp. I have no way of supporting or refuting this, it is just a hunch. Jmjanssen 08:16, 23 August 2007 (UTC) -No I'm not. I'm involved in the Minnesota Primate Freedom Project but am not the same person. I know the person who was going by the username MNPFP. I use wikipedia a lot more than him so I said I would try designing the page.Carniv 02:13, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not the place for promoting political ideology[edit]

I noticed your request for help on SlimVirgin's page: a quick look at your contribution history combined with your above admission that you are involved with a campaign group: you have a definite conflict of interest. As such I would suggest that you refrain from editing articles on people, organisations or groups that you are campaigning against. Your editing and cross linking of Marilyn Carroll indicates that pretty much your sole reason for being on wikipedia is to push a negative view of this person throughout as much of wikipedia as you can. e.g. [1] [2] [3] There are a number of things you can contribute to: but things relating to your group's activities are not in that group. Things you need to do (I think):

refrain from anything relating to Marilyn Carroll
declare your membership of this campaign group in your user page
familiarise yourself with the wikipedia policies on conflict of interest, living person biographies
go back and undo your changes that have not yet been undone (e.g. renaming "see also" to "controversy" to the various articles, perhaps explaining why on the talk page)

If you keep going with the campaigning the matter could be put up for review as what you are doing is vandalism and you could find yourself blocked from editing, which is not the ideal if you wish to contribute in a meaningful, non-point of view pushing manner.

UM primate research article title[edit]

Hi Carniv - You seem to be one of the folks most active on the UM primate research page. SlimVirgin & I were having a conversation on the talk page about the page title; if you have an opinion it would be great to hear from you. Cheers, Lquilter (talk) 16:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let me once more urge you to add material about other researchers to that article to justify the title, in order to put the material on Carroll in perspective. Otherwise it seems to be used only as an excuse for an additional article about her, which is not appropriate weight. DGG (talk) 11:20, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
