" HE BELIEVES IN OPENNESS BUT CLOSES HIS PAGE - BULL$HIT WE ALL SEE THRU U JIMBO Wikipedia Founder Hit With Relationship Trouble, Allegations of Excessive Spending By Megan McCarthy March 03, 2008 | 3:34:58 PMCategories: People Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales didn't have such a good weekend. First the blogosphere and then Wikipedia itself lit up with news of his messy breakup with controversial Canadian TV pundit Rachel Marsden. Now, accusations are flying that Wales has been living the high life on the expense account of the nonprofit foundation he created. On Friday, reports surfaced that the married-but-divorcing Internet icon carried on a clandestine affair with Marsden. Evidence of the affair included lurid IM transcripts, which appeared on Silicon Valley gossip blog Valleywag. On Saturday, Wales posted a statement on the Wikipedia Foundations website (which he later moved to his personal site) denying that his actions went against Wikimedia Foundation's policies, and stating that the affair had ended. Marsden responded by listing the clothes that he left at her house up for auction on eBay. So, what's the big deal when a relationship goes sour? Well, the two met when Marsden contacted Wales to help her ""clean up"" what she perceived to be errors on her personal Wikipedia page, and there have been allegations that Wales used his influence to improperly make changes. Former associates of Wales' are using this scandal to bring up other worries they have about the organization of the foundation. Former Wikimedia exec Danny Wool, who left the foundation last year, wrote a blog post insinuating that Wales used the non-profit foundation as his own personal piggy bank. Expenses that Wales tried to apply to the foundation included $300+ bottles of wine and visits to Moscow massage parlors, Wool alleges. According to Wool, the expenses got so out of hand that the Wikimedia foundation took away Wales' corporate credit card. ""There were occasions where he used [the Wikimedia Foundation] for personal advancement under the guide of the mission. And, as someone who was in there for the mission part of it, I found that rather distressful,"" Wool told EPICENTER. Wales did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

" Little quick on the trigger, ain't'cha bud? You know, if you're not even going to give somebody 30 seconds to go in and add the appropriate citations or references, the argument COULD be made that you're just an insecure anal orifice who doesn't want anybody else adding to what he perceives as ""his"" page - that TOTALLY flies in the very face of what Wikipedia is supposed to be about. I WAS going to add the appropriate references, including a link to a WAV of the song, but since I don't feel like wasting my time, only to have your ego play Goebbels again, why bother. By the way, I'm not sure how you arrive at your conclusion that it's somehow ""libelous"", to point out that a celebrity (who, by the way, has been deceased for 35 years) actually had a sense of humor about his own foibles, but it's asinine! First of all, you can't ""libel"" a deceased person; second, even if you could, a compliment (which is what it was) is not libelous; and third, .... Aw hell! Third, you're a moron! 'Nuff said!

"==Notability of Magnus howie== A tag has been placed on Magnus howie requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or ""db"" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. "

Iraq On 3 March, an IP introduced Iraq into the list of nations having significant minority Christian populations, which is certainly true when one considers all branches of Christianity. However, does it contain significant numbers of Eastern Orthodox? I have been under the impression that most were Monophysites or other Oriental Orthodox not in communion with Eastern Orthodox. I don't know the answer, but can anyone verify? We should not list Iraq here unless there are Eastern Orthodox Christians there.

" Perhaps the addition of a discussion of Jerry Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy will provide sufficient amplification of the typical American attitude toward this institution to account for the negative connotation almost universally accorded the concept of bureaucracy in American culture, in which the bureaucratic imperative — however it manifests — is utterly despised. Indeed, Pournelle's relatively dispassionate criticism of bureaucracy may not go far enough to accurately convey the pure hatred held by the average American for bureaucrats and everything having to do with the institution of bureaucracy in both the private and the public sectors. It does not (for example) address the bureacrat's propensity for sloughing responsibility: ""There's a reason bureaucrats are seen as ass-coverers whose foremost priority is to ensure that they're never accountable for anything. It's because many bureaucrats really are ass-coverers whose overriding priority is to ensure that they're never accountable for anything. As a corollary, if things go wrong, support for the idea that you predicted it may be helpful in building your bureaucracy's importance at the expense of its rivals. ""This is as true within corporations as it is in the public sector or the military. If you've spent much time in the working world, you've seen this tendency in action."" ...which is (in American eyes) particularly despicable for its abject cowardice as well as its wastefulness, ineffectiveness, and inherently obstructionist effects. Hm. And while we're at it, how come we're not discussing the sheer Vogosity of bureaucracy? This attitude toward the bureaucrats doesn't really seem to be an exclusively American peculiarity at all, does it?"

2011 Report into Defence Procurement I added a note on the publication of one of Carrie's reports, on a set of proposals for reform of certain aspects of defence procurement. The note was removed on the basis that since he has written many such reports there was no need to single out one. I didn;t know that, but I'm not convinced about this argument. Firstlt, the report is, in itself, notable, since it later became the basis of a piece of legislation, which will affect government spending of about £4Bn a year. Secondly, would it not be better, rather than not mentioning any of his reports that have been commissioned by government, to try and list all of them? I'm happy to do such a list. Thoughts?

I think calling this article a joke is pretty close, however calling it pro-IRA terrorist bullshit, might be a touch more accurate. Basically there was a pro-terrorism march, in which someone started firing a handgun, and in response the military fired a few shots.

":Provide reliable sources, or your edits will be reverted. Here's one refering to a ""sickening terrorist attack in Manchester"". Do you have any reliable sources contradicting the above source? Since you remove the term ""terrorist"" from the article, I'm assuming you do have reliable sources. What are these? AN/I I made a mistake by misinterpreting what had happened. In this instance, removal was the best option. A slightly longer explanation is at the relevant place on WP:AN/I. My apologies.  (talk) Collins I've made a new edit on the Collins article. Please clean it up as you please, but don't revert. The previous edit is misleading and portrays the idea that the army was made up on pro-treaty veterans rather than the fact that most of the new soldiers were not. And its also an old cover up of the fact that ex British veterans fought in Free State army, which caused much consternation among the Irregulars. "

First of all, you went to ANI and requested a speedy closure to the AfD discussion immediately after you dumped your solitary faux RS, which you sweated blood to find, during the time that we, the pro-delete editors, were not around. And now that your lack of RS was due to a search with the diacritic tactic has been exposed as false, because both returned zero results at Google News (what would you expect from an unnotable subject?), you added the search word ""location: Philippines"" on Razon. Should we now buy into this sleight of hand again and bin the diacritic? Why don't we try the same search with the diacritic intact. What happened? We get the same number of hits as the one without the diacritic! So, there is absolutely no point in moving the article. – Shannon Rose Talk "

(UTC) By the way, the amount of energy the Earth receives from the Sun is not related to its surface area; it's proportional to the solid angle it cuts out of the sphere of radiating energy from the Sun. Even when you calculate energy per square meter of the Earth's surface, what you're really doing is determining the solid angle formed by an ideal square meter of surface with the Sun in a specific position in the sky and distance from the Earth. None of these quantities can be considered precise or constant enough to worry about fractal scales. 13:51, 10 Jun 2004

Furthermore, looking at the ""staying power"" in the public consciousness of others in their occupations (actress and musician vs. Olympic lacrosse player), we should expect that gap to do nothing but grow. Therefore, I suggest Ashleigh Ball, with the current page there moved to the ""(disambiguation)"" title. "

Poyning or Poynings? It is absolutely and without a doubt Sir Edward Poynings. See the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry by Steven G. Ellis, ‘Poynings, Sir Edward (1459–1521)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 accessed 2 March 2008. As such, the law 10 Henry VII c. 9 should be, and generally is, described as Poynings' law. For examples see, R. D. Edwards and T. W. Moody, 'The history of Poynings' law, part I, 1494-1615', Irish Historical Studies, II (1940-41): 415-16 or C. I. McGrath The Making of the Eighteenth-Century Irish Constitution. Government, Parliament and the Revenue, 1692-1714 (Dublin, 2000). That said, it is listed as Poynings's law in the index of David Dickson, New Foundations: Ireland 1660-1800 (Dublin, 1987), 246.

"::No we aren't. The article talks about ""inserting 22 days before the last five days of February"" the impliaction being that 22 new days were insterted and the days that followed formed a part of the monthy of February. That is an idea I have seen in a number of places on USENET and would imply that (a) intercalarius has only 22/23 days and (b) that the last days of the year (before March) would be part of February again contemporary evidence says no. It may be this is not what the article means, but in that case it should say that February was shortened and followed by Interc. of 27 days (is that what you think it says?). There's no discussion of the additional day by the way. "

But none of that makes it reliable, not in WP's own terminology. The scientific theory article is a great example. That's actually a pretty good article. And it's useful for many purposes. But the definition is presented too simplistically, and it makes it seem that all theories are generally accepted as true explanations of the world, and that is not the case, as is demonstrated by the phlogiston theory. And that example is confusing, but there are also many many inaccuracies and outright incorrect statements on WP I know because I've fixed a few. Some are accidental, some are malicious, some will be soon fixed, but others linger. Another thing to remember is WP is always a work in progress. A true scholar should evaluate the reliability of every source. That is why I keep directing you to the SEP. That article is written by highly esteemed professional philosophers of science, who we know are educated, trained, credentialed and accepted in that community. Likewise, textbooks are vetted by editors and publishers, and academic journal articles go through peer review to help ensure that correct information is presented. That is part of why they are WP:RS. In contrast, WP is the encyclopedia anyone can edit. I can assert to you that I'm a professional scientist, with over a hundred citations in peer-reviewed journals to my academic articles, and a PhD in math, and maybe that will help convince you that I know what I'm talking about. But I'm not going to bother to prove that to you, and you can't really be sure that I'm not making that stuff up ) While we attempt to distill our reliable sources into good articles, sometimes that gets messed up. If you read the entirety of the SEP article on scientific theory, you will see that it does not support the sentence which cites it in our article! I don't know how that happened. But it will just sit there wrong until someone notices and has the time and energy to fix it. And even then, some well-intentioned editors may resist the change, and revert. And maybe it's not even wrong. Maybe some RS do reserve ""theory"" for widely accepted theories, and would instead say that we should rename the Phlogiston theory to ""the former Phlogiston theory"" or something else! So then we'd have to do a whole re-write, explaining several different notions of what a scientific theory is, and then it might make the article less useful for the casual reader. For 99% of lay use, the issue of reliability may not matter. And surely using WP's sources to cite in papers is a great idea - but you have to make sure that you read and understand them yourself, and don't depend on what WP says they say. If my life depended on it, I would not trust anything on WP, unless somehow I had no other sources available at all, and hence no choice. So no, WP is not reliable. But that doesn't mean it isn't great. Cheers, "

LEAVE ME ALONE. Stop trying to tell me what to do and dictate the words I choose on a Wikipedia page. You are working my last nerves. Do me a favor and please leave me the hell alone. Thank you and have a good day.
