Editorial Calendar Article

Hi,

As the original author of the editorial calendar article, I was curious your reason(s) for reducing a number of links to three?

I had added a fairly wide range of links based on my experience with clients who needed different ways to track their content, from pen and paper to folders to spreadsheets to actual dedicated software like HootSuite. I also tried to link to articles with real depth and something to add rather than a surface overview.

In any event, I'm just curious your reason(s). Thank you!

Flirtbox in dating sites list

Why have you removed flirtbox? What is the reason? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tm1978 (talk • contribs) 10:34, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That list is intended to be an index of Wikipedia articles, not a list of every dating site on the internet. - TimeOfDei (talk) 12:43, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Applied Sustainability

Would like to start a conversation concerning the pig pong game we have been playing between versions. Wiki is about compromise and more importantly, collaboration. If my contribution it falls under pro-mathis puffery, then I am happy to site other articles in support or simply take the content down.

The problem is that this emerging discipline is so new, the explicit use of the term Applied Sustainability is rare at best. Lastly, I do realize that my personal relationship with applied sustainability, that is I have been a practitioner for over 10 years now, may present a conflict of interest is some ways.

Love to work with you other than just a "reactive" and very unproductive re-posting game. Collaboration is key!!

Lets call this moving away from the prisoners dilemma to a tit for tat (game theory)... Ill extend the first olive branch!!

You could make an excellent start by not referring to yourself as a 'nationally recognized practitioner of this emerging field', not linking your social media profiles, not citing an unpublished book, not citing blog posts, and keeping references to your own name closer to 1 than the current '20'. - TimeOfDei (talk) 14:48, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure... I will take out the philosophy section all together... But the definition can be a collaborative development right? J. Eric Mathis (talk • contribs) 00:16, 10 October 2013

Also, Wikipedia is written for a general audience. Sentences like 'These impacts or causative bifurcations of a particular material-social assemblage relate to a variety of material conditions both within and outside the social sphere.' Might make sense to a subject matter expert, but they don't belong in an encyclopedia. I'm also unsure about why you added so many references to 'Sustainable Williamson' - Wikipedia generally does not link to blogs, let alone contain paragraphs about them in articles on general topics. - TimeOfDei (talk) 17:23, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mimi So

Hi TimeOfDei - With your reversion to this page, you have removed two citations to print magazines, two to reputable paid subscriber online magazines, and two to official results from a national sanctioning body. Could you please share your rationale? Surely I could not equal your dedication, but I respectfully propose that a discussion, or at least a comment, is warranted before undoing any editor with a history of starting many diverse articles, and making improvements to hundreds of pages.--Nixie9? 22:22, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing that you have been active on WP for two days, but have not found time substantiate your reasoning for seemingly unsupported deletions of citations, I have reverted your edits to this page. Of course, I hope not to trigger an edit war. I invite you to engage in discussion if you feel there is a justification you want to illuminate.--Nixie9? 00:58, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
