Behavioral Cusp edits

Hi Rixs UK - Your suggestions and changes to behavioral cusp are excellent. I clean up the formatting (= using ===blalala=== rather than 1.blalala !). I'll give you a barnstar when I have time to figure out how it works and whether I have clearance to do so :) Doncorto (talk) 16:42, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Forest School (education)

I have declined your request to move this page to Forest School since I am unconvinced that this should be the prime use of the page. If you wish to pursue the move then please take your request to WP:RM. I would, however, note that the future of this page needs consideration. "Forest Education" strikes me as a neologism and the article is mostly POV/OR. You need to substantiate the concept with reliable sources, fairly quickly. TerriersFan (talk) 17:37, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for removing the inappropriate disambiguation pages. I'm sorry you think that my page on Forest School (education) is a POV. I have provided several references to sources, typically in government agencies. I have not used the term "forest education", but I agree that "forest school" is a relatively new concept, but it is still notable and encyclopedic. Some of the {{fact}} tags you have added are already covered on the main pages on those topics; I don't think it is appropriate to cite those marginal references on Forest School (education). Others are quite justified, and they can be added gradually (it takes time to cite these references). It is by no means my own invention.

October 2009

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. BC_{talk to me} 15:51, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I know, but I keep forgetting because I'm used to systems that do that kind of housekeeping for me. Rixs (talk) 09:33, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Slow Parenting

I have just read the article that you maintain on Slow Parenting. Though I agree with all you have said it seems to me that the page reads more like an argument for a point of view than a factual article. I totally agree with that point of view, but feel that in the interests of neutrality there should be a more balanced discussion of the issue, as a lot of the article does seem to be constructed as an argument for a point of view rather than an explanation of an issue.

--Duster (talk) 18:56, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Each other page has its own case to make, and the main starting point for those is Parenting styles. So I don't think that giving a full and balanced discussion of all parenting styles is appropriate on this page. If you would like to rewrite the sentences to be more in the third person, and to add a few counter-arguments to bits that are very much non-mainstream, that'd be fine. Rixs (talk) 10:42, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've toned it down a bit, and added more references. Please tell me what other changes you suggest. Rixs (talk) 12:44, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kindergarten

Im terrible sorry but its a matter of dates. If Brunszvik's preschool was founded in 1828, and then it became popular in all the kingdom and after that Friedrich Fröbel opened his kindergarten in germany on 1837, who do you think opened it first? I think it needs no explanations.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baumrind's four styles

I closed this "no consensus" because it has been listed for 3 weeks with nobody but you arguing for deletion. However, you are the only substantial contributor to this article so it may be eligible for deletion under CSD G7. Edit the article and put {{db-g7}} at the top. If it gets declined then you can renominate it. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:46, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal warnings

For your information, there is no such thing as a level 5 warning. When a user reaches that level of vandalism, please report them instead to WP:AIV for administrative attention and blocking. Courcelles 09:29, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I found that out after submitting the edit! I have reported them. -- Rixs (talk) 09:55, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure I saw it while blocking the user you reported ;) No harm done. Courcelles 09:57, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
