Fathers' rights

Hello Zantastic, I've a question to ask. I see that you in the past have flagged up POV concerns about fathers rights, and that there is a user who consistently denies that the page is POV. I've decided to have a go at the page, as I know a little about the issues, and try to make it more neutral in tone and more comprehensive in terms of content, and to do a bit of clean-up. How do you recommend dealing with the user in question, and would you be able to keep a watching brief on what's going on over there as I try to clean up the page? If this isn't how Wikipedia works, then sorry - I've not been around long. Thanks. Tonibella 07:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

NPOV issues in OD article

I appreciate the feedback you gave regarding the Opus Dei article. A million thanks to you. I've started addressing the NPOV issues you brought up. I hope we can collaborate calmly to check each point one by one. All the best! Thomas S. Major 02:12, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Deletion process

Hey Zan, just wanted to remind you that the deletion process for articles has changed. The process for nominating an article can be found here. Also note the (somewhat silly) name change to "articles for deletion." I saw that you nominated Byron Makes Kitty Scared and just wanted to give you a heads up that the nomination was not published on the AFD page. - Jersyko talk 22:35, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Actress Stacy Armstrong

Hi, I'm writing because I saw that you had voted to keep an article on Stacy Armstrong back in Feb. 2005. Well, the whole deletion is in question because the vote should have been judged no concensus. But it was deleted anyway!

So it is now being rejudged and you can vote on it again if you'd like at Stacy Armstrong

I thought you'd like to know! Plank 17:55, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Edits

Zan, did you know that with this edit to your talk page that I have officially made more edits to the English wikipedia than you? Check it out. Slowpoke.

Just kidding of course, you have to add edits to the French version to your total, which means you easily best mine. Plus, in terms of qualitative edits, you beat me by a mile :). Either way, i wanted to rub it in your face by posting the offending edit on your talk page instead of, you know, a minor edit to protozoa or something. Hope you're doing well in Paris. - Jersyko talk 23:17, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Dozenist's newest article

Remember how i told you that Dozenist was writing a new, impressive article? Well, take a gander at this. Neat, huh? As of this writing, he's not completely finished, but will notify me when he is so that we can copyedit. I smell another featured article. - Jersyko talk 22:11, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• Well, he finished and I had a go at copyediting it, but as complicated as it is, I hope you take a look at it too. Maybe a fun project for your first week back in town? - Jersyko talk 22:09, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

new collaboration project

You'd you be interested in participating in a new Collaboration project that aims at translating good and featured articles in the French Wikipedia to English (much like the Spanish Translation of the Week)? I'm trying to see if there's enough users interested in this project before creating it. Thank you. CG 17:56, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Update - User:NYArtsnWords has created Wikipedia:French Collaboration Project. I invite you to edit, change, rewrite it... For now it's a draft, before the project is finalised and launched. Thank you. CG 06:51, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Beussink v. Woodland R-IV School District

I'm glad I saw that you had edited the article because I took a look at it, and then read the original statement from the courts that is linked to the article. It was most interesting. I have never sat down and read through anything like that before. There may be something else linked in the article to the original website these kids wrote, but I went and searched for it too. Apparently, the original is not up, but a copy is found here. - Dozenist talk 03:03, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

James Cole

Zantastik, please view the James Cole discussion on Jersyko's discussion page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jersyko -pa

James Cole

Zantastik, please read in regard to article 'James Cole':

The article made claims that were completely unsubstantiated and possibly false. For instance, a google search of "James Cole" + the titles of the books he supposedly wrote reveals no results. Thus, even if the article was not a re-creation of a previously deleted vanity article, the article at least made false claims about the person's notability. Finally, the claim that Nigerian rebels (or whoever it was, i don't recall what the article said) were somehow after this person, leading to the downing of an airplane (and his somehow miraculous escape) further tend to cast doubt on the credibility of the article (I'm not seeing any news items on the subject). I recommend that if you wish to write about Mr. Cole, you do so on your userpage. - Jersyko talk 15:42, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Jersyko - I think you may have misread the article. Any claims that were unsubstantiated were clearly marked as such, "believed to have been" aboard the flight, "rumours" of MEND involvement, "reports of sightings" in Quito. Claims stated as fact either were, or were soon to be, backed up with citations. Furthermore, it was never stated that his works were books; they were articles written during university tenure, and I was in the process of locating them to include excerpts in the article. Further still, there was no mention of a "miraculous escape" - the article simply mentioned that his body was not recovered from the wreckage. According to best information he was going to be on that plane, yet Sosoliso will not provide a passenger manifest or confirm if he was indeed onboard. Even more disturbing is your cursory fact checking which consists of simply running his name and titles of work through Google, and having no results be sufficient evidence for you. Do you fact check every article this thoroughly? I should think this would call into question many arbitrary decisions you have made in the past. I highly doubt you have access to the same newswires we are receiving our information from, and your subtle insinuation that I am Cole removes further credibility from your response. -pa

Thanks!

Thanks for the popups link! Very useful. I've got another tool you should be interested in, but I suppose I'll e-mail you about it . . . - Jersyko talk 02:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanx for the popup link. I just got it working, and it looks great! - Dozenist talk 03:38, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Rollback

Is your rollback button working? Mine hasn't been since the most recent update to firefox . . . but now it's not working on IE either. - Jersyko talk 22:25, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Signature

Zan, I saw that your signature isn't coming out right anymore. Dozenist and I starting having the same problem a few months ago while you were away. Here's how to fix it: add quotation marks around a couple of the variables. The "talk" link should read as follows: <font color="darkgreen" size="1">talk</font>

I hope this helps. - Jersyko talk 21:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Translation thanks

Thanks for translating John Misaubin into French. What will be particularly interesting is how the .fr editors alter it in coming days. There may be (probably is) a deep story prior to his going to England that French sources will have but that English sources don't. Geogre 11:26, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

I appreciate your comments on my article. I will try to continue writing articles on casebook cases that pique my interest in the future, but the problem is that most of them already have good existing articles . . . - Jersyko·talk 20:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you - you are first contributor to Portal:Human rights besides me. I just want to let you know that I value much attention to NPOV that you show.

And, by the way:

Portal:Human rights I, Lucinor, creator of the Portal:Human rights, invite you as editor of Human rights-related articles to start contributing to aforementioned Portal.

Free speech article

Zan, have you ever come across this article: Freedom of speech in the United States? While it's a nice start, I hope you agree that the article is wholly inadequate given the subject matter's importance. I plan on doing as much work as possible in the next few weeks on it, with my goal being to get the article to "good article" or even featured status (though my main goal is to simply cover the subject matter thoroughly). If you agree, you're welcome to join me in expanding the article; feel free to use my sandbox for any ongoing editing related to the article. - Jersyko·talk 15:03, 24 February 2006 (UTC) P.S. - I'm editing from work right now and only have internet explorer here, and noticed that your user page is badly distorted in IE (but looks great in firefox!). Just FYI, I don't know if there's anything you can do about it . . .

Eastern Orthodox view of sin

Last January, you added an NPOV tag to Eastern Orthodox view of sin. I think at least some of your concerns have been addressed since then. Would you mind stopping by and commenting on what still needs to be addressed before removing the NPOV flag, if anything? Thanks, Wesley 13:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I believe that while the article needs a good deal of expansion, it is essentially no longer pov. However, I would like to see the bit about legalism or a judicial view of sin expanded, as it is not entirely clear to the layperson, as it were. --Zantastik talk 20:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for proper POV editing.

Sorry for accusing you before on the Alex Jones (journalist), because we have multiple times had someone do this and it was not properly done. We've also had edits claiming to make it NPOV, but instead made NPOV areas POV. When I finally so the "weseal words" deal at the top, I then realized that you were doing it right. If you want, you can check the history of that page and see how people claiming to be chaiming for NPOV actually made it POV on purpose. Lightning Jim 14:33, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
