Inaccurate edit to Same-sex marriage in Minnesota

I have reverted your revert and initiated a discussion at Talk:Same-sex_marriage_in_Minnesota#Minnesota_is_13th_not_12th.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Human Rights Campaign, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kenneth Cole (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Regarding Your Comment About Revising Michelle Chamuel Entry

Reference is made to this comment:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Teammm&diff=prev&oldid=560559684

My name is Nate Bloom. I write a weekly or bi-weekly column on Jewish celebritiee for the American Israelite of Cincinnati; the Detroit Jewish News; the New Jersey Jewish Standard; JWeekly of San Francisco. I write a similar column for Interfaithfamily.com I also appear in four small Florida Jewish papers monthly. My journalism is cited repeatedly by Wikipedia. I have been cited in scholarly books. Been interviewed on related subjects by the Washington Post, JTA, etc. In my JWeekly column, published on June 7, 2013, I covered Michelle Chamuel and reported she is Jewish: http://www.jweekly.com/article/full/68765/celebrity-jews67/ and I mentioned she was reportedly of Egyptian descent. At that point, that was what I could gather from secondary sources. I also found two synagogue bulletins from an Amherst congregation that mentioned her mother and her attended that synagogue for at least a period of 3 years. Nobody in a print newspaper, with limited space, would mention a source like that. Just the fact that they attended. This column item prompted a call from a San Francisco cousin of Chamuel. She confirmed both parents were Jewish--Egyptian born Jews--confirmed Michelle's mother was a physician and that the family were "Karaite" Jews. This I reported for Interfaithfamily.com

This was all denigrated as "unsure" and a blog post. I had asked a friend, who is skilled at editing Wiki, to post a link this morning to my Interfaithfamily.com article. This he did. Traffic poured in until you guys decided, without checking who I was--or really reading the article--to remove it. Then my friend got other sources to back what I reported and restored the link to my article. Everything he added was based on my original journalism--everything in my article was correct as the sources he gathered---confirmed. I am appalled by this cavalier treatment. Years ago, when I edited a site on famous Jews--I woke up one morning and saw the information I had gathered over years had been lifted by Wikipedians, without credit, and stuck on Wiki. I learned to live with that.

Two weeks ago, I reported Chamuel was Jewish. But you guys didn't have that until today. You probably still wouldn't have it except for the circumstances described above. Why don't you surprise me and restore my credit? Okay.Natebloom (talk) 06:00, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

http://www.interfaithfamily.com/arts_and_entertainment/popular_culture/Interfaith_Celebrities_Michelle_Chamuel_and_Former_Child_Stars.shtml

Thank you for contacting me. You're right, I didn't even read the whole article. I stopped after the first paragraph. (it's very late here and I'm sleepy) After reading your article I see the report of the conversations you had with her relative. I don't see why it can't be used as a source when others have also reported it as well. Sorry if I offended your work, it wasn't my intention. Teammm talk

Windsor case vs. USA

i've noticed that your botscript reverted the edit (which was itself a revert) of the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:United_States_v._Windsor#undue_weight_of_dissents

it is sad that otehrwise good content is being trimmed because the other POV doesnt have time to either add to the discussion ir to point out why the existing content is not conscise (seems like 10 lines of content without the quotations are not a lot to add).

Furthermore, the existing edit which your script reverted back to deleted about 85% of original citations direct from the Supreme justices' report.

You wrote you don't have time to edit or summarize, which i understand, but dont let others cut it down just because you dont have time to do anything about it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.85.45 (talk) 06:03, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

There's a process that needs to be followed. Taking 8,000 characters worth of content directly from the court opinion and posting it on Wikipedia with fused in commentary of your own is the highest level of undue weight imaginable. If you are passionate about adding in the content of the dissents properly, then you need to summarize the notable points and have reliable sources attached to the commentary. I don't have a POV problem. You have a misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is, which is not a free-for-all dump for information. I would recommend coming to a an agreement, at the talk page, on the major points of the dissent that can be summarized to have readers get the complete meaning of what it says. I can try to help if I have time but I'm busy at the moment. Teammm talk

With all due respect to a fellow editor, none of us can unilaterally declare that Time Inc., the publisher of People, as well as CBS News and the New York Daily News are invalid, unreliable sources. We can't say, "People is incorrect." People would say, "We have professional journalists and fact-checkers." Same with CBS News and, though they probably don't have separate fact-checkers, the Daily News.--Tenebrae (talk) 18:29, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your request. I have begun a discussion on the talk page as you asked. I would note that the previous discussion suggested that led to the current formulation specifically said "I think we might be onto something here. If there aren't any complaints in the next day or so, I think we should do this." My observations disagreeing with that were posted in that thread within ten hours, so I don't really think that the "consensus" had been as fully achieved as you suggested. That said, I believe we can find a good way forward, one more in line with SPS and RS policy. Capitalismojo (talk) 23:01, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

I added a cover song to Chamuel's discography called "when the world was young". Can I add the code below to this page [6], the song's page ? There has to be value (worthy of note) in renewing the composer's work after 35 years. The code makes a new section for "contemporary recordings".

I would say no because it doesn't meet WP:MUSIC requirements.

for review

Please review. Currently the word Chamuel is directed per the following :

  • Chamuel - is a redirect page as per #REDIRECT [ [ Camael ] ]
  • Camael - is an article, its lead states that Camael is also known as Kamuel, Chamuel, Camiel, Camniel
  • Seven Archangels - is an article, in its lead section there is a hyperlink to Chamuel as per [ [ Chamuel ] ]
  • The “Seven Archangels” article is the only one that hyperlinks to Chamuel. Other than that there are no mentions of Chamuel on any pages.
  • Of course there are several articles that mention Camael and hyperlink directly to the Camael article.

I do not see why Chamuel should redirect to Camael. Why should it not redirect to Michelle Chamuel?
Another less relevant consideration is that the Camael article gets 90 hits a day, versus Michelle Chamuel article with 300 hits a day.
I appreciate your input. Bammesk (talk) 04:54, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Is this a reasonable solution:

  • create a page called "Chamuel (angel)" that redirects to Camael
  • create a page called "Chamuel (singer)" that redirects to Michelle Chamuel
  • edit the current page of "Chamuel" so that it becomes a disambiguation page listing the above 2 choices.
  • modify articles that redirect to "Chamuel" (such as the Seven Archangels article) so that they redirect to "Chamuel (angel)" page.

On this page [7], I request a change from existing/old reference [8] to new reference [9]. Advocate for old reference posted here [10], [11] and [12]. Review shows old reference has two mistakes and a COI. "attended congregation for at least several years" is incorrect per [13]. Advocate states attendance is based on two bulletins, can very well be two attendances three years apart. "In Egypt, I was told…" is incorrect, per [14] the author had not been in Egypt as of June 4. Also advocate states the source is not anyone in Egypt. Lastly, advocate admits he has a COI, funding benefit to a non-profit. Given old reference discusses personal information, has mistakes and COI, and is used on a BLP, I request that it be replaced with the new reference.

LGBT rights in Russia

Hello. I am struggling to understand why you reverted the article to an earlier version. Vis-à-vis #Bans on "homosexual propaganda", most of the sources you revert back to (e.g. [15]) are from June 2013, and so cannot possibly support the article's claim that the law had been passed on 30 July. Your revert also removed the {{Cite Russian law}} sources I had added earlier. Again, why do this? Thank-you. It Is Me Here t / c 23:13, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

An exciting month of wiki events!

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Wikipedia Stories

Hi Teammm,

My name is Victor Grigas, I'm a Wikipedian and I work for the Wikimedia Foundation as a storyteller and video producer. In my role, I gather stories to share with the world about our community and I was hoping you might be interested in speaking with me over the phone, by Skype or other means. I can answer any questions you may have :) Victor Grigas (talk) 18:07, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2014

Hi Teammm. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:04, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Invitation

A gummi bear holding a sign that says "Thank you"
Thank you for using VisualEditor and sharing your ideas with the developers.

Hello, Teammm,

The Editing team is asking for your help with VisualEditor. I am contacting you because you were one of the very first testers of VisualEditor, back in 2012 or early 2013. Please tell them what they need to change to make VisualEditor work better for you. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too.

You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.

More information (including a translateable list of the questions) is posted on wiki at mw:VisualEditor/Survey 2015. If you have questions, or prefer to respond on-wiki, then please leave a message on the survey's talk page.

Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:12, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

New question raised regarding Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/April 2015 move request

Some opposers of this move have now contended that there is a "Critical fault in proposal evidence", which brings the opinions expressed into question. Please indicate if this assertion in any way affects your position with respect to the proposed move. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:36, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
