Howdy. It looks like your tool labs tools are offline following the data center migration. I suspect all that's needed is for you to follow the instructions at wikitech:Tool_Labs/Migration_to_eqiad#Tools_webpage_shows:_No_webservice. Cheers. - TB (talk) 13:37, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On 13 April 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The American Religion, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in the same year Bill Clinton was elected, Harold Bloom wrote in The American Religion that he feared there would never be another Democrat US President in his lifetime? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The American Religion. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for taking the semantic issues there seriously. It's heartening but all too rare to come across editors who understand that words have meaning and that meaning matters.

See WP:LINKSTOAVOID, numbers 10, 11 and 12. WikiHow is fine for what it is, but external links for a topic like the Gospel of Matthew (which is subject to much serious, academic literary, textual, and religious study) should just be links to the relevant primary texts and to mainstream, scholarly secondary literature and other such work on the topic, not to user-generated web content. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 05:30, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No one is saying that they are major branches. You say that they are not part of the Dīn of Islam. That's great, maybe they aren't. We don't take a position on that. It does not matter what editors say nor even what the truth is. We just follow what reliable sources say; see the core policy WP:V. Friedmann, Yohanan (2014). "Aḥmadiyya".

AS YOU DID IN Ahmadiyya 68.100.172.139 (talk) 22:40, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why do I have to classify all sects under one of those three? Under which of those do you think Ahmadiyya should be classified?

And I'm not sure what your question is asking. All of those things are mentioned many times throughout the encyclopedia. Are you asking why they are not included in this template? There is no expectation that every sub-grouping be included in this template. Shia Islam is included. Those sub-groups are largely included in the Template:Shia Islam and the Template:Ismailism templates. The Bektashi order is included in Template:Sufism. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 23:09, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly you have a private template of Ahmadiyya as well. Therefore you cant put them there otherwise you have to put Druze & Nizari ++ Alevi & Alawi as well they are on Ismaili template O.K. Ahmadiyya is on Ahmadiyya template do you understand?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.172.139 (talk) 23:36, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No one is saying that "Ahmedism" is the "equiv" of Sunni. Members on the template are not determined merely by the size of the associated population. I've never read a single reliable source about the Gülen movement, so I certainly wouldn't try to put it on this template. No, I do not understand everything you've written. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 02:16, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What are the necessary corrections? And why are they necessary? --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 02:15, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sunni - Shi'ite - Khawarij

if you claim that it can NOT be put under one of these titles, then it is a new religion, but not islam.

Since you are able to put all the following groups like

Alevi, Alawi, Druze, Nizari, Assasins, Gulen movement under one of these THREE main branches, namely Sunni - Shi'ite - Khawarij, in a similar way, you can classify Aḥmadī movement under one of them. If you claim that it is so special and cannot be classified under one of the 3 main branches of Sunni - Shi'ite - Khawarij; then the members of these groups, namely Alevi, Alawi, Druze, Nizari, Assasins, Gulen movement CAN CLAIM that they are very special as well. In that case, the names of Gulen movement, Alevi, Alawi, Druze, etc. SHOULD BE written besides the Aḥmadī movement, this is my opinion.

After examining this Template:Islam (FRENCH) Template:Islam in French, I've seen that they moved Aḥmadī movement under NEW MOVEMENTS, you may prepare a similar section and place Aḥmadī movement, Din-e Ilahi, Khojas, Nation of Islam, Five-Percent Nation, Malcolm X, Mahdavia under the title of NEW MOVEMENTS IN ISLAM. French template listed all these groups under Courants non reconnus par l’orthodoxie:

• Aḥmadī movement,
• Din-e Ilahi,
• Khojas,
• Nation of Islam,
• Five-Percent Nation,
• Malcolm X,
• Mahdavia

SEE: Template:Islam (in FRENCH) 68.100.172.139 (talk) 05:08, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a question of what members of groups can claim. Members of groups can claim whatever they want. It's not even a question of what reliable sources can claim. It's rather a question of what reliable sources do claim.

No one is saying that the Aḥmadī movement is a "MAIN BRANCH OF ISLAM". You say that if I claim that it cannot be put under one of those three titles, then it is a new religion. That's just original research and is not allowed on this encyclopedia. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 06:23, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Din-e Ilahi,

• Nation of Islam,
• Five-Percent Nation,
• Malcolm X,
• Mahdavia

Equating COI editing to driving while intoxicated and potentially killing people is entirely inappropriate. Please do not restore the image.--v/r - TP 03:53, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

this all seems somewhat past, although the sting is still lingering. Atethnekos i am a bit surprised by your behavior. Granted that TP was aggressive and grumpy. Nonetheless, as a philosopher and someone who participates in DR, surely you can step back and see what is going on. TP feels stigmatized for having admitted paid editing and feels hounded across WP for doing so. Its a sensitive thing. Maybe you were unaware of the drunk driving ad campaign underlying "friends don't let friends..." and just thought it was kind of funny, tongue-in-cheeky. You've been made aware that the joke stung somebody. By the person whose feelings it hurt. Instead of actually hearing the other guy you just stuck to your rights. Which you are free to do. Is that really who you want to be? Jytdog (talk) 03:57, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit surprised too. I disagree with so many things you've said here, I guess I just don't understand things well at all. For example, you link to [2]. Well, what does that comment have to do with me? If I'm to assume good faith—and I always try to—I would assume that that is not talking about me. Because then it would be saying that I was equating COI editing with drunk driving, when I had already expressly communicated that I was not comparing COI editing with drunk driving. In that case the comment would be merely gainsaying my testimony about my own intentions without an argument as to why that testimony is false, and doing so without being forthright about it, and doing so when the case was already closed. Well, that's not a good faith assumption. So I don't assume it. I just assume that I don't know what that comment refers to.

Maybe that gives some insight into my the general principles behind my behaviour? This probably doesn't answer your question or concerns. I am of course willing to elaborate. There's just so much I could say in response to your comment here, I'm just afraid of saying too much at once. But I can give you a specific response to any part of your comment or to any other questions. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 08:21, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You did make it clear that it wasn't your intention to equate COI editing with drunk driving. I never said it was. But as you must know, once you say or write something, others will interpret it as they will. TP (and others) have explained that the phrase "friends don't let friends X" has its roots in a 40 year old and ongoing public education campaign about drunk driving and and that other uses arise from, and get their charge from, that campaign. Hopefully you are a big enough person to see that it is not a far leap for someone - especially someone who feels stigmatized over paid editing - to interpret the words in the framework of the drunk driving campaign. Now there are countless examples of people saying things that unintentionally hurt other people - this happens all the time. The question is, now that you know that your words hurt somebody what do you do? That is the character question here. Not your intention when you said it but rather what you do now. Jytdog (talk) 11:52, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't deny that it is not a far leap for someone to do that. I don't know if it is a leap at all. Here's maybe an example: An editor objects to someone's behaviour and says, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" [3].

Do I deny that it is a far leap for someone to interpret those words in the framework of stoning women to death? I wouldn't deny that; that's actually one thing of which I myself think when I hear that phrase, since that's in which its roots are.

Could someone think that it's possible that the editor meant in some sense to compare the behaviour being decried and stoning women to death? Well, that's pretty harsh, but I suppose someone could do that. In that case, one could ask if that was what was meant. If the editor then responds that that was not what was meant, then I would think that the misunderstanding should thereby be sufficiently resolved.

Now, could someone not just think that it is possible that that is what was meant, but go farther and conclude with an assertoric statement that that is what was meant? That's, I would say, very harsh, but, again, someone could still do that. If the editor then responds and says that that is not what was meant, and then shows many examples from well-reputed, peer-reviewed, academic publications (etc.) having equivalent usages of the phrase which show that it is normal in mainstream, English-language civil discourse, then I would think that the misunderstanding should thereby be sufficiently resolved.

I think that that last case is equivalent to what happened here. You add to this that I now "know that [my] words hurt somebody". This is news to me. From what I can tell, the objections said nothing about being hurt. They said rather that my comment was "a polemic statement meant to piss people off" [4], that there was a "major ad campaign against drunk driving and [I've] tailored it to COI editing" [5], that it is has an "obscene" meaning and that I "intended that meaning all along" [6]. Those objections said nothing about what the objector felt, but only about what I meant and what I intended (the objector supposedly having greater insight into those than me, which is false). Now, if what you're saying is true, then I apologize: I never meant to hurt anyone. Even if no one was hurt by my comment, I would avoid the phrase in similar contexts in the future. If what you're saying is true (and I don't deny it), then I would be even more careful in such avoidance of the phrase.

Also, I would have no problem with someone replacing the sentence with one with a similar meaning like "Someone who actually wants to help another person should not enable that person to do something which is destructive, including editing with a COI." I'm not sure if changing at this point would be helpful or could be done within the WP:TPG, so I wouldn't try it myself; but, again, I'd be completely fine with such a change.

The principle though that users' comments can be edited by others merely on the basis that they contain phrases that are supposedly or actually hurtful when those phrases are part of normal, civil discourse within academia, is a bad principle. Especially when done so without even an indication on the page that the comment was edited by someone else. It harms any rigorous grounding for determining what is civil and what is not, and this would exacerbate the problem of intractable disputes about civility. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 18:59, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are making this way more complex than it needs to be. This is not abstract and theoretical; it is just a messy interaction typical of humans. You said something intended to be witty and what you said hurt someone's feelings. That person expressed their hurt in anger, as humans tend to do. You have reacted defensively, as humans tend to do. The simple thing for you to do is strike the comment and say:"hey sorry, didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings". It is a simple thing. You of course are under zero obligation to do so and are free to be any kind of person you want to be. Good luck to you, however you choose to proceed. Jytdog (talk) 20:19, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to add here... thanks for your patience in engaging with me. I said this in my first post above, but let me say it again to be sure. Editing for pay is a topic that raises intense emotion at WP. You probably know that. What you may not know is that about a year ago, TP mentioned casually on Jimbo's talk page that he wrote an article for pay and had someone else post it. Some editors immediately jumped on him for that (especially as he is an admin) and he feels that they have been harshly hounding him about it ever since. (I have heard this from several editors who have edited for pay - when they have disclosed their paid edits, some other editors have reacted harshly, personally, and sustainedly.... paid editing is evil in some editors' eyes and they pursue paid editors with some vengeance.) It is a very emotional issue here. TP can in general at times be harsh, and on this issue, (in my eyes) I have seen him act well, and act badly/harshly. Again, in my view, he mostly reacts badly when he feels he is already being judged harshly before the other person has even engaged with him and instead are engaging with an "evil paid editor". So yes he took your witty post very personally and very negatively and yes he deleted it. In my eyes, that was an over-reaction out of hurt and built up frustration and anger at other people. I think he could have handled that much better. So that is the background for his behavior, as far as I can see it. Perhaps you didn't know all that.

Your "friends don't let friends" comment was indeed sustained at ANI and is still on the Talk page and you are totally within your rights to keep it there. You are the "winner". Now... I am sure you have seen lots of disputes at DR where neither party did a great job explaining clearly where they were coming from and neither party tried very hard to hear where the other guy was coming from. And where neither party is willing to do the simple things it takes to move forward and leave the dispute behind. I hope this longer explanation was more helpful to you in understanding where TP is coming from (at least as far as I understand it). again, I came and wrote on your Talk page to say "hey, this is a festering thing and you could make it go away by simply striking (like this) your comment and making a "hey sorry didn't mean it that way" apology in your edit note. That's all. Is the comment itself so important to you? Jytdog (talk) 21:16, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I saw on WP:SHARED that in 2012 you mentioned you have access to Springer Link. Is that still the case? If so, would you be able to provide me access to this article? I want to verify that all the information from Sexual dysfunction that's attributed the source is actually present in the article. A pdf would be ideal, but any kind of access would be wonderful.

You are receiving this message because you have listed yourself as a volunteer at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard.

We have a backlog of cases there which need volunteer attention. If you have time available, please take one or more of these cases.

If you do not intend to take cases or help with the administration of DRN on a regular basis, or if you do not wish to receive further notices of this nature, please remove your username from the volunteer list. If you later decide to resume activities at DRN you may relist your name at that time.

Best regards, TransporterMan 15:52, 8 January 2015 (UTC) (current DRN coordinator)

You are receiving this message because you are signed up as a volunteer at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. We have a number of pending requests which need a volunteer to address them. Unless you are an inexperienced volunteer who is currently just watching DRN to learn our processes, please take a case. If you do not see yourself taking cases in the foreseeable future, please remove yourself from the volunteer list so that we can have a better idea of the size of our pool of volunteers; if you do see yourself taking cases, please watchlist the DRN page and keep an eye out to see if there are cases which are ready for a volunteer. We have recently had to refuse a number of cases because they were listed for days with no volunteer willing to take them, despite there being almost 150 volunteers listed on the volunteer page.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are receiving this message because you have listed yourself on the list of volunteers at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteering#List of the DRN volunteers.

First, assistance is needed at DRN. We have recently closed a number of cases without any services being provided for lack of a volunteer willing to take the case. There are at least three cases awaiting a volunteer at this moment. Please consider taking one.

Second, this is a volunteer roll call. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to this roll call list. Individuals currently on the principal volunteer list who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after June 30, 2016 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after June 30, 2016, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.
