THE ARTICLE
************************************************************************************************************************************ 
Brief Introduction- T 10 Gully Cricket 

T-10 Gully Cricket- Ab Har Koi Khelega is a connect with cricket at the Grass root level translating into communication with the masses from a handshaking distance  Aimed at aspiring cricketers in the age group of 15-24 ,quintessentially from Tier 2 & 3 towns ,this talent hunt is fast assuming the status of a godsend for the small town cricketers. H.U.L was the presenting sponsor with Pepsi as the Pouring Partner during season 1 staged in Jan-Feb 2009 . Season 2 conducted during Jan / March this year saw the advent of various partners like Go Air , Sail , Cricket Today , Yuva etc . Season 2 was played under lights at the grounds of  Jan nayak ch . Devi Lal Vidyapeeth  , Sirsa during Jan-March 2010 .

10 Overs a side fast paced game with a match duration of 90 minutes played by Non –First class cricketers  ,T-10 has not only mesmerised the Indian audiences but also commands the potential of turning into truly a Global Sporting phenomenon .The cricket connoisseurs have loved the game for its laid back and languid nature but that has also been responsible for keeping the fast food generation of countries like U.S.A at a distance , but this 90 minutes exciting format of cricket completely offsets that sentiment . The Bollywood Youth icon Riteish Deshmukh as its brand ambassador complements the exuberance the format embodies.Bollywood actors  Sanjay Dutt , Divya Dutta , Rajpal Yadav ,Jimmy Shergill & Prachi Desai  as the owners of Sirsa Gullies  , Ludhiana Gullies , Kanpur Gullies , Jalandhar Gullies & Surat Gullies respectively add to the rustic nature of the contest .

The game is enriched by some very interesting rules like Power over , in which runs scored off the bat are doubled . Then there is tenner in which consecutive six fetches ten runs and is hence termed a Tenner .  Hypothetically speaking , six consecutive sixes hit in a power over will fetch 112 runs . Isn’t  that exciting ?    

The recently introduced  franchise model  has already seen a lot of excitement as it caters to a TG for whom perceived value is of prime concern . An opportunity to connect with masses thru grass root cricket with spin offs like fan clubs etc holds considerable value for the franchisees . That a franchisee would break even in the first few years of association augurs well for the longevity of the concept and would help create a strong battery of like minded stakeholders . More significantly , the franchisee would be seen as promoting talent in his hometown and stands to gain considerable prestige .      

A huge amount of hunger among the participants ,Media and the crowds was on display in these towns during the two seasons conducted in 2009 & 2010 .  The increasing significance of tier 2 & 3 towns in terms of growth in no. of HH’s and purchasing power catalyses the effect of T-10 Gully Cricket ,whose season 3 would commence in the month of July /August later this year culminating with live telecast in the last quarter of this calendar year .  

It must be noted that majority of the players who excelled hailed from villages and far flung areas , like 17 year old Suraj Kumar  , whose father runs a small tea shop in choughatti in Punjab ,  Gurjit Shergill from Jamsher village  , again Punjab  , Paresh Bamania , the tall left hand all rounder from Nani daman , Mitul Shekhar from Gola bazaar in Gorakhpur district , Dinesh Yadav from Aurachari in U.P , Vikas Lamba from sukhaini mear Hissar in Haryana ,Manoj Kumar from Baba Ladana  Village , Kaithal District .  

It must also be underlined that players like Manvendra singh who captained  Kanpur in season 1 and his performances during season I catapulted him to the district team also hailed from todakpur village in U.P and so did Nilesh Patel from Besangaon in Gujart who was given a trial by Sachin Tendulkar last year .      

T-10 Gully Cricket is constantly endeavoring to create cricketing heroes from the small regional pockets , some of whom could go on to become national icons in the time to come .The selection committee of  T-10 ,comprising of Mahaguru  and chaired by Charu Sharma would soon be announcing an all star xiv who would be sent across the country and also overseas to participate in tournaments .This would provide them with the much needed exposure and instill confidence in them to perform at higher grades of cricket .        

Reasonable Communications Pvt Ltd , launched in the year 1991,which owns the IPR of the concept is co-owned by its two Directors , Ashok Wadhwa & Anoop Wadhwa who have between them over 40 years of experience in Media Business .The company is looking at broadbasing the concept by including teams from south , giving better representation to east and also inviting foreign participation in particular from U.S.A .    

The company intends to enter the mindspace of the audiences by investing on communications and also on the cricketing infrastructure like manpower and owned cricket stadiums with day night facilities .     

The objective of the concept is to discover talent from the inconspicuous omnipresent underbelly of Indian cricket – the glorious gullies, which is also a metaphor for far flung nooks and corners of the nation . It aims to provide opportunity to aspiring young cricketers to showcase their skills in front of large crowds and be seen live on television.

Yesterday, I created a page on Autonet Mobile, which provides cellular internet access used by an option on some newer Chrysler vehicles. I believe that a Google search quickly establishes this company's notability, but the page was speedily deleted.  I was not online at the right time to object.  What can I do?

Hello, if you're going to delete my article entitled "Caroline Hagood," is it possible to remove the page that states that it was deleted from the search results? I'm guessing you can't affect google's results, for example, but is there any way you can completely remove it rather than merely flagging it for removal in order to eliminate it all together?

I added to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colton,_Leeds page but it has been returned to its previous state.
It was with factually correct information relating to Colton. I modelled it on Maghull page which has about their cricket team on it. I believe it is relevant.

Hello.

As the writer of the above article, I'm confused about why it keeps getting marked for being deletion. Specifically, the editors keep questioning its notability or lack there of. I've read the articles on notability and tried to mirror the form of another publication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Spirit) which has less info and has not been marked for deletion.

Thank you for your time.

[[User:Brandon Blatcher|Brandon Blatcher]] ([[User talk:Brandon Blatcher|talk]]) 18:25, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
: First of all, that another article is not marked for deletion does not imply it does meet notability standards, it can also mean the article was not noticed by editors tagging articles for deletion
: That said, carefully check the notability criteria at [[Wikipedia:Notability]]. Looking at the article, I find that the problem may lie with the coverage in independent secondary reliable sources. I.e. you need to show that this journal is discussed in other [secondary] media/articles that are not part of its own (alternative) network [independent] and that these sources are of course reliable. I am not convinced that has been sufficiently taken care of in the current version of the article. [[User:Arnoutf|Arnoutf]] ([[User talk:Arnoutf|talk]]) 18:48, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

:OK, A) Tell me if it has origins in Polynesia, as the link stated, then why is it not a recognized dish from there. Ask anyone who's had the plate and they will tell you their opinion of the origin and will say a country in South America, most likely Peru, Ecuador or Bolivia. B) I haven't edited back since that page has had more than enough edit wars already. Also in other words, you're saying I'm nationalist, let me tell you if I was I would be saying "Go Barcelona" and editing every article against Spain. I don't think that what that link states is correct but either way, no one really is %100 sure where the dish comes from so I liked the fact that you kept it neutral between Polynesia and South America. As a side note I was in a bad mood so I apologize if I seemed an "edit freak" but I just didn't believe what the source said.

{{ear|stale|&ndash;&ndash; [[User:Jezhotwells|Jezhotwells]] ([[User talk:Jezhotwells|talk]]) 00:39, 4 June 2010 (UTC)}}
I am the daughter of the man who co-found the crash site of Bill Barilko's Hudson wreckage.  I have original documentation from the Department of Lands and Forest, original photographs and newpaper articles to back my claim.  I have scanned them and provided them to Bashing Mike at http://www.torontomike.com/2008/09/finding_bill_barilko.html.  I want the false claims to stop and the honour of my father re-instated once and for all.  My father was a humble man who did not seek the lime light.  He was a very notable and skilled helicopter pilot who loved what he did.  He was also an honourable man and would never take credit for something he did not do.  When he discovered the site, my mother collected newspaper articles and scrap booked a lot of highlights from a very distinguished career.  He flew dignitaries like Pierre Eliot Trudeau, Bill Davis, Stanfield, Princess Margaret.  He has a list of film credits that is extremely impressive.  He invented an IMAX camera mount and helicopter door that revolutionized film making.  If this medium is to be truthful and honest, then please post only factual and honourable posts.  I am so tired of continuing to try and tell the truth about this event.  I would be happy to provide whatever proof is necessary.  I implore you to ensure that anyone else posting "their version" of the truth also provide proof.  Please put an end to this "cyber bullying" of a man who had a very distinguished career that was well-earned.

Dear Editor,

I am Bruce Regan Gilbert, producer who is credited in many articles on wikipedia including the movies:
The Dollmaker, Nine to Five, On Golden Pond, Rollover, the China Syndrome, Coming Home, By Dawn's Early Light, Jack the
Bear, Man Trouble, etc. Not to mention the page for Academy Award winners and nominees for Best Picture for 
1981's On Golden Pond, etc.

On wikipedia pages where my name is mentioned as "Bruce Gilbert" they link to another Bruce Gilbert,
who is Bruce Clifford Gilbert, a musician who has had no affiliation with any of my films. 

There are numerous biographies of me, including on IMDB.   Here is a link to that data base.[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0317982/ Bruce Gilbert, producer]
(although this biography incorrectly states that I was born in Del Mar, CA, when I was actually born in Los Angeles, CA.

Please correct the incorrect attributions of credit to Bruce Clifford Gilbert, musician. Please add a correct biography to the wikipedia pages. 

Thank you. 

Bruce Gilbert (aka Bruce Regan Gilbert)

== Cosmological Inflation ==
{{ear|a|&ndash;&ndash; [[User:Jezhotwells|Jezhotwells]] ([[User talk:Jezhotwells|talk]]) 00:43, 4 June 2010 (UTC)}}
Hi,

I would like to request two sections of the following Wikipedia article to be entirely deleted. The article is

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_inflation

the sections are:

# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_inflation#CTMU
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_inflation#Philosophy_of_cosmology

Brief description of request:

* This article is about a scientific theory. It should contain scientific material.
* The two sections are not of scientific nature. The material was not accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed cosmology journal. The first section is a blog post; the second section was published in a religious newsletter.
* They seem to suggest a controversy which is inexistent in the scientific literature.

Longer explanatory comments:

The section no. 1 (CTMU) consists of a blog posts. It is not a peer-reviewed paper in a journal. It should not be part of an encyclopedic entry on a scientific article. Moreover, it is not comprised of a mathematical model that can be tested against experiment. The theory at hand (inflation), predicts what is called the power spectrum of cosmological perturbations and is consistent with observed anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background and the galaxy distribution observed by Sloan Digital Sky Survey and 2dF (http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/377228 ; for an accessible account to non-experts, see http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/bb_cosmo_infl.html). An alternative theory to inflation is one that can make these types of predictions, and there are some available in the scientific literature, but we can see from the blog post that it is not a mathematical model to predict cosmological observables. Instead, it is a random combination of jargon that makes little sense.

The same of the above applies to section no. 2. In addition, it was commented in the talk page in detail at least twice, where specific references were given that debunks the paragraph. In fact, the paragraph in question make three claims that: the first one can be seen to be wrong by following a simple textbook reasoning, such as the one of the reference given in the talk section; the second claim is just plain wrong because there are known theorems of the nature the paragraph disputed to exist.

It would be best if this is passed to someone with technical knowledge in Physics and Cosmology.

::This has been copied to the articles talk page!...[[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 01:40, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

:::Hi. I'm sorry that I have to come back here. It is one last shot. Let me first say that the issue above was not resolved. My claim is that the section that remains is inadequate to the article. It makes claims such as "the theory is flawed", "the theory cannot be tested" and "the theory does not add anything" and I have done the following: I explained in detail why these claims are not true, I also provided the references. For instance, I provided the references of scientific literature that shows the enterprise of testing the theory. In fact the first test of the theory came already in 2003, and I gave this ref. in the talk page. This ref is also given in the main article. The section that I found incorrect is mostly original material written by a user. There are something like four editors who have demonstrated understanding of the topic that are against the maintenance of this section. But this single user seems to be able to put the section online again, even though no consensus exists that the section is relevant and should be kept. I don't see what else can I do but ask to some sort of "admin" to resolve this issue (for better or worse). I believe that if a section is about mathematics, then even though people are entitled to their opinions, it should not be part of the encyclopedia content paragraphs that say trigonometry is wrong by a standard that is not the mathematical standard of proof. In the same way, in an article about physics, it should contain knowledge that is considered to be part of physics, and not a laymen opinion (or any personal opinion for that matter). The section in question is a personal opinion that is not supported by evidence from experiments, or mathematical reasoning. I don't think this should be in Wikipedia also because there are several other similar opinions out there and I don't see why this particular one should be picked in the article. In my opinion, it is a violation of neutrality of scientific articles. I exposed the case in detail in the talk page and I don't think I can add anything else. I will just wait for a verdict.

I hope you can help as my articles keep being removed by an individual named Anma. There is nothing wrong with the articles I am posting or any of the references. The rationale she is using is unjustifiable and contradictory. She has gone in and removed the references then has the articles removed due to lack of references. She is deliberately attacking my articles, I'm not sure if it is just me, or she's on a power trip. I have asked her to stop, but it is ignored. Unfortunately now it is getting to the point where the harassment card can be played, and further action must be taken. What information do you need to help resolve this matter and having her going in and making these unnecessary changes? 

The articles she keeps targeting are (the ones I have found):
*[[Chris Bickford]]
*[[Amyas Godfrey]]
*[[Matthew Godfrey]]
*[[Vanessa Lindores]]
*[[You Can't Do That On Television]]
*[[Bradley Steven Cooper]]

== Carl Levin Page ==
{{ear|a|&ndash;&ndash; [[User:Jezhotwells|Jezhotwells]] ([[User talk:Jezhotwells|talk]]) 00:45, 4 June 2010 (UTC)}}
I am in a dispute with [[user:Steelbeard1]] over an edit I made to the Senator [[Carl Levin]] Page.

The issue is whether I can legitimately state that the chariman of the Senate Armed Services Committee has never served in the military.

The Senator's own biography and every official biography I can find leaves a blank under military service, nor makes any mention of his ever having served in the military.

He claims my citations are not bonafide with no justification other than his opinion.

The one source which is very heavily cited by both sides of the political spectrum is very a very well-respected and often cited source for determining which politicians have served in the military.

Please advise.

:There are several problems with the text you're seeking to insert.

== ESPN Sportscenter article - good faith edit, Piano Gone Troppo can't understand the truth. ==
{{ear|a|&ndash;&ndash; [[User:Jezhotwells|Jezhotwells]] ([[User talk:Jezhotwells|talk]]) 00:46, 4 June 2010 (UTC)}}
In my correction it is true that the coverage is predominantly Basketball and the coverage is biased against Midwest teams.  This has been the practice of ESPN for many years.  This is a fact.  If Piano Gone Troppo ever watched SportsCenter as I have for 25 years, I have filed many complaints to ESPN because of its Anti Midwest Bias and its lack of coverage of the NHL during its season.  These are facts that were edited into the article.  If any of you ever watched SportsCenter you would understand I posted in a neutral view that the programming is predominantly Basketball coverage.  This editor may have all of the awards in the world and he may have created them himself.  The truth is the truth and I do believe I am owed an apology by this editor, as I was falsely accused of Vandalism when in fact I was reporting the truth.  I was a reporter myself for over 20 years and have covered every story I've ever written fairly and even handed.  
Before you scold an editor or a user, do a little research before you brazenly scold and you may learn something called the truth.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.3.37.82|76.3.37.82]] ([[User talk:76.3.37.82|talk]]) 13:25, 27 May 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

This is indeed ridiculous and even more so is the fact that such a change was not verified.
I edited the article and also provided a reference which is a page of Wikipedia itself.

Article: {{la|Barbara Alby}}

User OCNative appears to be manipulating content in an effort to disparage a public official and/or influence the outcome of the election.  Generally such has been done in a subtle fashion and/or by complaining that the content was NPOV.  While content was in the process of being edited to get the article out of stub status and to ensure that content was as neutral as possible, OCNative chose to tag the article as infringing upon a copyright by referencing a link to content which is in the public domain and which is controlled by the individual whom the wikipedia articles is about.  OCNative elevated what appeared to be either hyper-sensitivity to NPOV guidelines or a dislike of the subject of the article up to a level which would potentially negatively influence a voter.

In short the editor OCNative appears to be pursuing some type of vendetta against the subject of the article in question and doing so in a manner which enables him to utilize Wikipedia as a weapon.--[[User:Sactopolitics|Sactopolitics]] ([[User talk:Sactopolitics|talk]]) 22:07, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I understand the concept of assumption of good faith, however, as I stated the subject of the article controls the material that was allegedly copyrighted and gave permission for the posting of such (which ultimately is immaterial as the text is in the public domain).

{{Resolved|Article has been semi-protected. --[[User:Susfele|Susfele]] ([[User talk:Susfele|talk]]) 14:11, 4 June 2010 (UTC)}}

{{La|Mister World 2010}}  The IP 82.124.180.207 has repeatedly changed the name of the 2nd runner-up in this article.  I have found weak citations (online magazines) for the original name (and I added them to the article)) and no citations at all for the changed name. From the article talk page I gather this has been a contentious issue in the past. I have warned the other editor ([[User talk:82.124.180.207]]} and asked them to discuss it on the article talk page where I posted my thoughts about the issue ([[Talk:Mister World 2010#2nd runner up.]]. The only response I got was that the other editor changed the name again and removed the citations I added. I can't tell if the other editor disputes the original content or is vandalizing. I am too much of a newbie to know if my own behavior is appropriate or constitutes edit warring.  What's the appropriate action to take in a situation like this?  Thanks. --[[User:Susfele|Susfele]] ([[User talk:Susfele|talk]]) 01:20, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

:The IP editor has posted a link to http://www.bestmodel.fr/ as justification for the change. The manner in which this link was posted was unacceptable, as it falsely claimed that it was a link to the Mister World official site, and it removed a genuine link to that official site. I have not been able to find any evidence that www.bestmodel.fr is a reliable source. It does not seem to have much (if any) external recognition. The site contains very little, and many of its pages merely show notes to the effect that the page has not been written. All in all it seems to me that the IP editor is, as you say, removing sourced information, adding information which has no reliable sources, and failing to engage in discussion. I have found other sources for the name originally given, in addition to the ones you have given, and have added a reference to one of them. I shall post one more message on the IP editor's talk page inviting co-operation, and mentioning this thread. If after that the IP continues to edit in this way then we will have to think about what step to take next.

[[user:Sunset99/Construction Imaging Systems]]

I am having trouble editing the above article to make it an acceptable Wikipedia article. The article is admittedly about a company. The feedback I am getting is very general in nature and is not helping me to construct a proper article. 

I have looked at other articles and tried to somewhat pattern this article after those but seem to be missing the mark somewhere. Do you think I should try the mentor route, can you perhaps suggest better company articles to use as a pattern, or some other course of action?

[[User:Sunset99|Sunset99]] ([[User talk:Sunset99|talk]]) 16:41, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
: I do agree with the comments it reads like an advertisement. To give examples the listing in para 1 of the lead (Its content management products includes document imaging and management , accounts payable document workflow and approval, email management , document retention , file archiving and various information capture products including OCR and electronic forms.) is hardly top importance but is very adlike. Additionally the last two para's of the lede are also more about showing how good the company is instead of a neutral account (Construction Imaging Systems released new versions of its Invoice Router Version 3.3 Release 2[1] and Construction Document Manager Version 3.3[2] in 2009, In 2010 it released a new versions of its Chameleon Software Version 2.7[3].

:Construction Imaging Systems was named by Constructech Magazine’s as one of its “50 Hottest Companies” in 2007[4], 2008[5], and 2009[6] and several products receive Constructech Magazine’s “Commercial Top Products” awards in 2008[7], 2009[8], and 2010[9].).

: Additionally, the sourcing of this company is basically based on 2 sources; its own website and Constructech magazine (the construction industry advocate). Neither of which is likely to qualify as a reliable secondary source (although the second might just make the cut if it is actually well known), thus the article may actually not show notability of the company.

: There are 2 options. (1) Try to find better sources and get a more neutral tone in the article before creating the article in mainspace. (2) Go for it, set it up on main space, and hope other editors will pithc in and help you out, but in that case please accept the possibility that the article is deleted for notability.

Dear Wikipedia Community,

I just finished my first Wikipedia article.  It can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fhambrecht

I would appreciate feedback as I want to make sure that I am adhering to all Wikipedia guidelines before I post.

Thanks for the help.

== Splitting focused content out from a large article, to its own article ==
{{ear|a|[[User:Diannaa|<span style="color:#006600;font-family:Felix Titling;">'''Diannaa'''</span>]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Diannaa#top|<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;">TALK</span>]]</sup></small> 16:35, 11 June 2010 (UTC)}}
Hello,

I and others would like to reopen an effort of moving technical content out from a broad article to its own article.  Previously it was decided (in 2008) that the topic was narrow and belonged under a broader article.  

What is the best way and process to revisit this topic of discussion based on new information?  That is, can I use the previous dialogue that was closed found still under Articles Marked for Deletion?

Furthermore, is it best to use the same article name proposed in the previous attempt, or start from scratch with a new name?

Thank you.

:Did you take a look at [[Wikipedia:Splitting]]?&nbsp;–&nbsp;[[User:Ukexpat|ukexpat]] ([[User talk:Ukexpat|talk]]) 18:04, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, this helps with my first question.  I can do the split and also refer to the other discussion page in the template provided.  Is it best to use the same article name of the previous attempt or start from scratch?   

--[[User:Markf129|Markf129]] ([[User talk:Markf129|talk]]) 18:37, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

:Two articles cannot have the same name so you will have to come up with a new name for the split article. If you tell us more about the article and suggested split, we can suggest an appropriate name.&nbsp;–&nbsp;[[User:Ukexpat|ukexpat]] ([[User talk:Ukexpat|talk]]) 21:17, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, I understand.  The question was around a previous split attempt.  We gave it a new, unique name for the split, and the split attempt failed due to not enough referenced support.  So we can reference that same name (under articles for deletion - never posted), or come up with another unique name.  Either name is not currently on Wikipedia, so either would be unique.  I was just concerned if we used the previous split name, it may get confused when seen under 'articles for deletion'.  Perhaps it is irrelevant.

ok I posted the start of an article and it got deleted. So I am trying to get it set up off line so it is more factual. Using an online paper and gov documents ect to show it is history in the making. A Government watch dog group.  It is coming along fine and I have alot of proof ect...which is what I was told was wrong with the article. But as I am trying to be a good wiki adder, I just notice that external links are not good. So the question is, are news articles and government doc's include in that? if so how do I post the referring info? (format?) And also is there a place to create the article before it is up for review so I can make sure that the format I am using is working?? I don't want to put it up only to be bit by a delete brownie point editor.--[[User:Happypixie|Happypixie]] ([[User talk:Happypixie|talk]]) 01:16, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, those external documents are essential as references, to show notability as well as to support the statements in the article. See [[WP:CITE]] for details on how to cite those reference documents. You can create the article in your "userspace", at, for example, [[User:Happypixie/Article_under_development]].

Greetings,
My name is Tom McCarthy and I am a newly self-published author.  My book "Get Naked: Stripping 101" was two years in the creation and contains observations of over nine years of work as a strip club DJ.  The goal of the book is two-fold: 1) help newcomers to the world of exotic dancing understand what they are getting into before they take the plunge.  And 2) Help strippers morph into professional exotic dancers.  The book entered publication in May of 2010 and is in it's first printing.  R.R. Bowker issued the official ISBN-9780615365855.

Because I have self-published my book based on my almost decade of experience in exotic dancing, does this preclude the viability of my information and therefore preclude my book from qualifying for an article in Wikipedia?

Second, you have a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] as you suggest, so it would be best if you didn't write about your book.

Wiki is steadily becoming a platform for anti-Shia religious bigotry. This is unbecoming and dangerous. In the name of harmony and mutual understanding between various religious I have tried to remove these racist/bigoted comments, but your editors-cum-bigots immediately restore the old jars. A case in point is my addition to the article on the Imam Malik ibn Anas. Using the same material in the article itself, I demonstrate that the ascribing anti-Shia feelings to him are wrong and illogical. Malik was a long time student of the Shiites' 6th Imam and the law giver, Ja'far al-Sadiq. How could he have called the Shias "the liars" and yet studied under their law giver for most of his student life time? And yet, your editor-- "Supertouch"-- thinks the anti-Shia nonsense he has placed there to fan the fuel of animosity between the Sunni and the Shia is justified and ought to be kept! As I argued with him, one could produce much PRINTED literature from the famous people, like Adolph Hitler, that the Jews are "evil" people. But would any sane or fair-minded person buy that, just because it is printed somewhere?  [[User:Izady|Izady]] ([[User talk:Izady|talk]]) 13:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
: I think most of this should be solved on the relevant talk pages.
: Printed matter (even by a famous person) is not necessarily a [[WP:RS|reliable source]]. Only reliable sources should be used. Note that this is a two-edged argument, as the other editor may demand you to provide reliable sources following the Wikipedia requirements for such sources.

Hi, I have just read your info on Monty Roberts... it seems a little short, are you able to add to it please.
{{Collapse top|Collapsing big chunk of text for readablity}}
Here are some important information about the man, his life and his work:

Monty Roberts: known as the "Man Who Listens to Horses" - an award winning trainer of championship horses, best selling author, Hollywood stunt man, Foster dad to 47 children (in addition to three of his own)he has trained the Queen of Englands horses, and has been awarded the honorary doctrates from the University of Zurich and Parma. He lives with his wife Pat at 'Flag is up Farms' in Solvang, California.

5 Novels:

Autobiography: The Man who Listens to Horses - A fascinating story of a man whose unique methods reveal the depth of communication that is possible between man and horse. According to Monty anyone can learn the language of the horse and anyone can learn his Join Up methods. A silent language of gestures like signing for the deaf.

The Horses in my Life - A book that celebrates his best loved horses, chosen from tens of thousands he has worked with over the years. These are the horses that he has learned from the most, or that have impressed themselves most indelibly on his memory and his heart.

From My Hands to Yours - The definitive guide to violence-free training. Lessons from a life time of training Championship Horses. Quote " A good trainer can get a horse to do what he wants them to do, a GREAT trainer can get a horse to want to do it"

Ask Monty - The most 150 most common horse problems solved. Monty shares the groundbreaking techniques that he's spent a lifetime perfecting, which will enable you to understand, communicate and work more effectively with your horse.

Horse Sense for People - Using the gentle wisdom of the Join Up techniques to enrich our relationships at home and work. Monty brings new meaning to the importance of communication in our lives. It has at it's core an inspiring belief in the power of gentleness, positive actions and trust as the basis of success.

Monty's new online University of Equus...reaching out to people the world over, who otherwise would have no access to his teaching and training methods. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.145.2.96 (talk) 16:05, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

: Euhm yes, but the problem here is that publications by the author himself (i.e. his own books or website) are usually not '''reliable''' sources. Reliable sources are typically sources without any relation to the topic of the article and also sources that are know for neutral, objective and comprehensive treatment of the topic. Typical reliable sources are scientific papers and articles from high quality newspapers. None of your suggestions seem to fit these, as most is self published.

: No, not somebody should out here to authenticate things; the editor proposing to add information is also the person who has to do the authentification. Basically Wikipedia works as follows: If you think information is missing, you are the one who should add it, and authenticate it. That is what is meant with "Free encyclopedia that everyone can edit". There is no system of delegation (apart from volunteers stepping in).

== Cherrypicker ==

'''Cherrypicker''' were formed in 1994 with the founder members being Allan Martin (bass), Sandy Robertson (guitar), Scott Angus (guitar), George Fyfe (vocals) and Raymie Masson (drums).  With only 1 month to prepare for their first gig at the Vic on the 1st of April they rehearsed non stop until they had 9 cover songs to blow the minds of the 500 strong crowd.  The set list is as follows; Animal by Pearl Jam, Plush by Stone Temple Pilots, Screamager by Therapy, State of love and trust by Pearl Jam, Nearly Lost You by The Screaming Trees, Jeremy by Pearl Jam, Would? by Alice and Chains, Better days by Gun, and Porch by Pearl Jam.  The band proved a big hit and developed a big following that would watch them play at various venues in the Moray area.  Allan Martin left the band later that year to be replaced by roadie David MacDonald (Luggy).  The band had a break before returning in 1995 with a new sound, well, they turned the volume down a wee bit.  
So it is now 2010, where are they now you may ask?  They have recently got together for a jam and are rehearsing at every opportunity with a view to playing later this year.  
Watch this space.

Also, I would like to know where I can find images of the regiment in the public domain. I just can't seem to find such images.

I am a new contributor to Wikipedia and have contributed an article {{La|Bonghan system}} As soon as I linked this article to the related topics of acupuncture and acupuncture meridians an editor gutted the original article and replaced it with a shortened and biased article that includes this sentence:  Believers in Bonghan structures propose they underly the notion of meridians and acupuncture points.

Is this how Wikipedia is supposed to work?  A new article is gutted and replaced by weasel words from an editor who can not spell underlie properly?

I reverted the article to start a discussion but I don’t understand this editor’s reply.  If this is a medical article under WP:MDRS rules how can he justify gutting the article and leaving it with the same lack of secondary references?  

In his comments this editor reveals his ignorance of the subject by asserting that the references in the original article are not indexed in PubMed which is not true.  He also states that ancient Chinese did not dissect their dead.  This does not seem relevant to the discussion and it misrepresents Chinese history.  Ideas like this have turned the acupuncture and acupuncture meridians articles into a subsidiary of quackwatch.  Is there hope for reason here or should I stop contributing to Wikipedia like many others who have left their discussion comments on the acupuncture discussion page?

: To be honest I think the opposing editor was a bit harsh, BUT the text as promoted by you is not very satisfactory because it does not read as an encyclopedic text, but rather as a promotion for the method. So that would make your version of the article not very neutral ([[WP:NPOV]]).
: Content wise the evidence cited is not very strong, primary ad much of it not shown on humans; which does indeed make it problematic in terms of reliable source medicine ([[WP:MEDRS]]). In the light of the extraordinary claims made the evidence needs to be of extraordinary quality, and should openly address secondary critiques. The lack of such is a typical sign of fringe theories and therefore the article as it is should make clear why it is not in trouble with [[WP:FRINGE]]. Finally, even accepting that Bonghan may have some value, it is not clearly stated through reliable and secondary sources that this specific system is notable on its own and needs an article on its own ([[WP:NOTABLE]]).
: So in my view the longer version has serious problems. As it is Wikipedia standard to only allow texts in if these are supported sufficiently, trimming the text to a neutral version (as done by WLU) is perfectly OK within Wikipedia (and a typo or lack of native English typing skills has no relevance to that). It is up to the supporter of the longer text to defend each bit of that text. [[User:Arnoutf|Arnoutf]] ([[User talk:Arnoutf|talk]]) 15:19, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

This is the second time in 2 days that factual information on William C Rader's Wiki page has been changed and deleted. I contacted the noticeboard yesterday and the problem was resolved. However, someone continues to remove factual information replacing it with information to promote William C Rader, who has been proven to be a fraudulent stem cell profiteer. His Wiki page is being used as a manipulative advertising sales ploy to recruit patients.This is a common practice that his affliates have used in the past and continue to use. I don't know how this can be stopped but please look into this. Dr. Rader is under investigation by the FBI and FDA. He has been exposed by the BBC in their Panorama investigative program, "The Truth about Medra." He has been exposed by CBS's 60 minutes, " 21st Century Snake Oil." He was been cited by the California Medical Board for Misleading and False Advertising. The list goes on.

===Libelous and untrue information - William C. Rader wikipedia page===

Currently on [[William C. Rader]] page, '''CliffC - June 7 revision''', there is '''libelous and untrue information'''. Also, some of the refrences '''link to dead pages'''.
 
For over a year, Dr William C. Rader has been the target of a vicious smear campaign. They have used wikipedia and other posts to publish defamatory comments, impersonate Dr William C. Rader, and publish deceptive and misleading statements. The statements published on CliffC - June 7 revision contain numerous misrepresentations of fact that are provably false relating to Medra's business and Dr. Rader's trade and profession.
 
The revision posted by, '''99.160.165.171  on  May 20 2010, has correct information backed up by a published book''' ([http://www.amazon.com/Blocked-USA-Stem-Cell-Miracle/dp/0615329055 Blocked In The USA: The Stem Cell Miracle]) by William C. Rader and other references. 
 
William C. Rader page keeps being reverted back to the libelous information. Spreading falsities regarding the profession of another is injurious in the eyes of the law and constitutes actionable defamation, among other torts.  In order to avoid further harm to Dr William C. Rader, can you please correct this problem.<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Factsupdate|Factsupdate]] ([[User talk:Factsupdate|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Factsupdate|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

These have been replaced with good links to other sources and now all citation links are operational.  A dead link is not a valid reason to remove a citation (or all citations); simply append a {{tl|dead link}} tag to it or mention it on the talk page so it can be addressed.  --[[User:CliffC|CliffC]] ([[User talk:CliffC|talk]]) 02:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

I have been making extensive use of Wikipedia recently, mostly for information on certain properties of covariance matrices. A recurring theme I have encountered is that the material takes every opportunity to disappear out of "the real world" and end up in, for example, some multi-dimensional complex number space in which spotted dogs could be transformed to into slime-breathing inside-out pan-dimensional cats of arbitrary colour with a mere introduction of an asterisk. OK, so I exagerate, but I feel strongly that technical articles like this would benefit from a consistent editorial policy in which there is a "'''What This Means'''" section, with sub-headings to make clear the implications in common cases. For example, very often there are only 2 or 3 dimensions involved, and/or only real numbers involved. Explicit simplification of the principles of such articles down to these common cases would be very, very useful, and help to keep the information in Wikipedia accessible. Other very common cases in matrix mathematics are square matrices and symmetric matrices.

Constructive suggestion: assuming that most Wikipedia readers are seeking "real world" answers, perhaps the number of hits a page gets (and how many other pages are searched prior to returning to a given page) could be a useful guide to Wikipedia editors/bots as to how grounded a page needs to be (and how grounded it actually is), and drive automated editorial requests (ie "! This page needs better grounding in the real world. Please edit the '''What This Means''' section").

Another example: all the material I have read on Linear Algebra (you'd think: the Algebra of Lines) makes no mention of lines anywhere I can find. Yet is this not the real world origin of Linear Algebra - an algebra in which (I believe, but it would be handy to have it explicitly stated) lines are preserved - no matter what linear transformation is applied to a line, it remains a line?   <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/119.224.62.103|119.224.62.103]] ([[User talk:119.224.62.103|talk]]) 00:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:If I might make a suggestion on this, I would push more for a series of related articles for existing mathematical topics describing the practical applications of a given set of mathematical theories. Sort of like you see in articles on large topics like a country, you could then have a small paragraph to introduce a general idea and then a link to a main article that fully explains, for example, the application of linear algebra to geometry. I would not push for inclusion of any "What this means" section in articles, since those kinds of sections will become very unwieldy very very fast. To stick with your example of linear algebra, linear algebra is the study of vectors and vector spaces (as stated in the article). A geometric line is certainly one interpretation of a vector, but there are many others. Trying to describe all of the "practical" interpretations of a vector would make the article on linear algebra '''VERY''' long. -- [[User:BenTels|BenTels]] ([[User talk:BenTels|talk]]) 17:28, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I (and some other editors) still believe that the information in question is critical to the conflict, and should go in the lead. I went ahead and restored the information in the lead while also continuing the discussion. I want, however, to make sure that I am not doing anything wrong. Is it okay that I reverted the edit made without giving me/other editors sufficient time to see the new thread and discuss?

Dear Editor:

I am writing to challenge misleading information that we believe  has intentionally been placed into the Wikipedia pages of the American Association of Physician Specialists, Inc. (AAPS), and its certifying affiliate, the American board of Physician Specialties (ABPS).  This information is intended to cause confusion among individuals and groups interested in physician board certification. Further, this information will mislead the reader to believe that AAPS/ABPS is “unique” and differs from the standards and qualifications of the other the four organizations. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Association_of_Physician_Specialists
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Board_of_Physician_Specialties

The current information states that ABPS will grant board certification in a particular specialty to a physician who has NOT completed residency training in that specialty. We have 17 boards of certification  and all but one require an approved residency in that specific specialty. The only exceptions is emergency medicine because it involves other critical medical disciplines.

Here are some ways that ABPS does itself apart from the other nationally recognized bodies:
(1)	The first to incorporate public members into its boards of certification;
(2)	Only certifying body to require a full day of non remedial medical ethics course as a condition for recertification;
(3)	Never has provided lifetime certification;
(4)	Limits the number of certification and recertification attempts;
(5)	Requires non restricted medical licensure as a condition of annual certification.
(6)    Annual MOL Attestation of Full Unrestricted Medical License as a recurring condition for board certification
(7)	No membership prerequisite required

Please inform us on the next step of the process to correct the record on the information related to ABPS board certifications.

If you have further comments to make about the articles, you may use the discussion pages for the articles, which you will find by clicking on the "discussion" tab at the very top of the article.

{{La|Second Amendment to the United States Constitution}}For a while now I have been trying to work out a disagreement with [[User:Hauskalainen]] at [[Talk:Second Amendment to the United States Constitution]].  Unfortunately there are many pages of discussion and edit war back and forth, which you may not have the patience to read.  Boiling it down to the essence: this is a disagreement over [[WP:NPOV]] policy.  I believe that we must include each of the significant points of view, and Hauskalainen believes that we must include just "the right" point of view.  To this argument, he relies largely on his original research and also points to commentary written in a recent Supreme Court opinion as proof that what he believes is settled fact. I disagree, and see that there is still disagreement published in reliable sourcing about these events that happened hundreds of years ago.  I am hoping that a neutral third party editor might come around to that talk page and help us sort out how to comply with [[WP:NPOV]] policy in this dispute.  Thanks in advance for the help, this is hard work!  <span style="color:Black;font:bold 8pt kristen itc;text-shadow:cyan 0.3em 0.3em 0.1em; class=texhtml">[[User:SaltyBoatr|SaltyBoatr]]</span><sup>[[User_talk:SaltyBoatr| get]][[Special:Contributions/SaltyBoatr| wet]]</sup> 17:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
:It would probably be better to set up a [[Wikipedia:Third opinion|third opinion request]] or an [[WP:RfC|RfC (contents)]].  Also you should phrase your disagreement in a more neutral tone.  Obviously NPOV and NOR should be followed, but does Hauskalainen say otherwise or does he interpret it differently?  Decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court do not become the correct interpretation of the Amendment, but merely establish how the Amendment will be interpreted by the courts in the future.

== Dispute over introduction of "controversial" material into the sharia article ==
{{ear|a|[[User:Diannaa|<span style="color:#006600;font-family:Felix Titling;">'''Diannaa'''</span>]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Diannaa#top|<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;">TALK</span>]]</sup></small> 14:06, 18 June 2010 (UTC)}}
I've been trying to fix the [[Islamic law|sharia]] article after one [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jagged 85|user, "Jagged 85" introduced a lot of questionable material into this and many other articles]]. I've been trying to clean up and improve the spaminated law related articles (mostly the [[Sharia]] article) since then, with varying degrees of success. On frequent occasions another user, [[User:Aquib american muslim|Aquib american muslim]] has objected to my changes, and has deleted material he found "controversial" in the lead, on grounds that controversial material should not be in the lead. Some time later, after reading [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section)]] which states that: "The lead should ... define the topic, establish context, explain why the subject is interesting or notable, and summarize the most important points—'''including any notable controversies'''," I reinserted this material (fourth paragraph of the [[Sharia|Sharia article]]), and he has again started to redelete, this time claiming that the material is uncited, poorly cited, misleading, misrepresentation of sources, etc. (along with some [[Talk:Sharia#Sad ironies|more jeremiads]] about how I had perpetrated a "detestable hack job" and how my edits were an "Orwellian nightmare"). I've asked him repeatedly to point out specifically what is wrong on the talk page, and he has avoided doing so, even though I specifically used publicly available sources just for this reason, and have addressed his objections repeatedly on the [[talk:sharia|talk page]].

I'm not really keen on having the page protected or having anybody blocked, and I really think Aquib is for the most part just inexperienced, ignorant, clumsy, or more concerned with his missionary vocation than with the writing of an encyclopedia article. Nevertheless, I don't think that Wikipedia policy or the sources favor him in this dispute, and would appreciate the advice of another editor as to whether I am right on this. I will be happy to move this to Third Opinion or RFC or wherever it's most appropriate if necessary. Thanks![[User:Jayzames|Jayzames]] ([[User talk:Jayzames|talk]]) 02:48, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
:I think filing a [[WP:RFC]] is the best approach at this point.  The fact that you and Aquib have recently been the only two editors working on this important page has not helped the situation. Maybe a request for comment will attract some additional knowledgeable editors not only to comment but to stay a while and help develop the article. --[[User:Diannaa|<span style="color:#006600;font-family:Felix Titling;">'''Diannaa'''</span>]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Diannaa#top|<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;">TALK</span>]]</sup></small> 14:43, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Here's a sentence appearing in the article 'Babylon', under the heading "Persia Captures Babylon":

"Metal gates at the river's in-flow and out-flow prevented underwater intruders, if one could hold one's breath to reach them." 

It's just a bad sentence. I don't know anything about Babylon; I can't edit it because I don't know what it's supposed to mean, but somebody ought to. How do I make it happen?  This is only one of several similar cases I've run into. Thanks.  [[Special:Contributions/76.2.23.34|76.2.23.34]] ([[User talk:76.2.23.34|talk]]) 07:06, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

:Oh, someone is just parroting someone who was waxing poetic.  The phrase simply means that (under normal circumstances) the river Euphrates (which apparently ran through the center of the city of Babylon) was not an easy access point, because no one could swim well enough enough to reach the gates that had been thrown across the river to keep people out.  Cyrus the great supposedly diverted the river, dropping the water level enough to allow his troops to walk to the river gates and breach them.  that apparently allowed him to conquer enough of the outlying regions of babylon that (so I assume) the rest of the city fell to siege. --[[User_talk:Ludwigs2|<span style="color:darkblue;font-weight:bold">Ludwigs</span><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">2</span>]] 09:02, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

== How to deal with unrelenting soapbox ==

In two different articles I have editors who will not stop soapboxing, even though I've left [[WP:Soapbox]] several times. (They rarely leave any WP:RS or just vent on and on about one or two existing WP:RS that supports their SOAPBOX.) Their goals are to change a longstanding consensus in one and to bully other editors through guilt by association in another. And of course it's easy to get sucked into their soapbox, which wastes time and contributes to the problem. What is the quick solution? (Ie not mediation.) The policy page doesn't say and couldn't find any specific suggestion. Thanks. [[User:Carolmooredc|CarolMooreDC]] ([[User talk:Carolmooredc|talk]]) 12:45, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

:Depends.  if the people in questions are basically reasonable but passionate (which doesn't sound to be the case) then you just need to be patient and they will eventually get it.  If they are ideologues, however, then the only path of civilized resolution is to acknowledge and accept their beliefs while calmly and quietly destroying their reasoning.  Basically an "I understand why you might feel that way, but you have to admit that the reasoning doesn't wash, because of..." approach.  It won't change their minds (and will probably inflame them to greater efforts in the short term) but once they realize that they cannot counter what you are saying through determined rhetoric they will give up (sour-grapes style), or at least shift tactics and start tempering their responses.  That's a difficult path, though.  --[[User_talk:Ludwigs2|<span style="color:darkblue;font-weight:bold">Ludwigs</span><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">2</span>]] 15:12, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

== Review of article on Prince Willem-Alexander ==

{{Collapse top|Extended discussion}}
L.S.,

Over the past few days I've made a number of changes and additions to [[Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange]]. In particular I've added a section on his run-in with the AP and on the Machangulo affair. This last topic was mentioned on the Talk page, where one editor felt it should be added and another counseled leaving it alone with a reference to [[WP:CRITS]].

Since I've now added the information anyway, I would like to request that somebody review the article in its current state. I've tried to remain neutral and just report on what happened. But if someone could take a look to check for any objectionable phrasing and such things, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! -- [[User:BenTels|BenTels]] ([[User talk:BenTels|talk]]) 14:22, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
:I have looked at the article and found the following issues:
*some material has been waiting for citations for years and should be cited or removed
*health history information is not encyclopedic and should be removed.  Also it is unsourced and should therefore be removed.
*Wikipedia now has a no-trivia-section policy so any pertinent facts should be integrated into the body of the article and any truly trivial things removed. None of the items in the trivia section have sources so it should be removed in its entirety. 
*Some of the material is [[WP:OR]] and synthesis and should be removed This is in the photo-op section especially. 
*Undue weight is placed on the photo-op business and the Machangulo section is so big as to overwhelm the article. If these sections are to remain they have to be cut down in size.
*Whenever you see the word "rumors" is is a red flag that the material is sketchy and has to be removed, especially in a [[WP:BLP]]. We do not typically pass on rumors that are reported in the press.  This whole section will have to be reworked if it is to stay.  I am not clear why you added it at all since other editors on the article already said it is not appropriate. 
:Sorry the response could not be more favorable. [[User:Diannaa|<span style="color:#006600;font-family:Felix Titling;">'''Diannaa'''</span>]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Diannaa#top|<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;">TALK</span>]]</sup></small> 19:23, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

::Hmmm. Well, you sure know how to dishearten people. But I suppose I did ask....
::<u>some material has been waiting for citations for years and should be cited or removed</u> I'll leave the old stuff to other editors.
::<u>health history information is not encyclopedic</u> Sarcoidosis (a chronic disease) in the heir-apparent of a country is not encyclopedic?? Why not?
::<u>Trivia</u> I'll try to add sources soon. Integration perhaps is a better domain for someone else.
::<u>[[WP:OR]] and synthesis</u> I have no idea what you're trying to say here.
::<u>photo-op business and the Machangulo</u> Both (particularly Machangulo) got extensive coverage in the Dutch news, and the photo-op business involved a freedom-of-the-press versus privacy trial; there has to be some mention of them. I'll leave it to others to pair the size down without losing essentials (or to add detail to the rest of the article, which I consider a better option; the current article seems a tad anemic to me).
::<u>Rumors</u> In this particular case the importance is not so much the contents of the rumors but that there ''were'' rumors. The reason for the final sale of the property was not what was being said about the project, but the consternation that was being caused by it all.
::<u>I am not clear why you added it at all since other editors on the article already said it is not appropriate.</u> He didn't say it was inappropriate, he raised a concern about weight of a criticism section (which I tried to avoid by ''not'' making the tone critical). Both editors in the discussion on the talk page agreed however that there has to be mention of it. And they're right: the noise in the country carried on for months and the prime minister had to answer questions in parliament about the controversy twice! Not mentioning it would be like writing an article about Richard Nixon and not mentioning the Watergate break in.... -- [[User:BenTels|BenTels]] ([[User talk:BenTels|talk]]) 02:15, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
:::Hi again.  Sorry, I know that was a bit overhelming. On a [[WP:BLP]], you don't add sources "soon", if the material is unsourced it should not be added; existing unsourced material  should be removed, especially if controversial.  The "synthesis" in this instance means presuming to know what people think or why they act the way they do.  The specific section I have in mind is this:
{{Quotation|Like most royal families, the Oranges have struggled with their increased visibility in the media over the past decades. And, like most royalty, they recognize the right of the press to report on them and publish images of them while executing their duties but they have struggled to keep the press from invading their privacy in non-work situations like holidays. In an attempt to strike a balance, ...}}
:::The medical history is not relevant because it does not affect his ability to do his job.  And it is unsourced, also, <s>so it should be taken out please</s> so I have removed it.
:::If you have to say "although these rumors were always attributed to an 'anonymous source near the government', so their reliability is unclear" then that is unencyclopedic, and has no place on Wikipedia. Stuff like that has got to go.

:::<span style="color:red;">&gt;</span>On the synthesis, the RVD stated that was the reason for the media code. But alright, not that important.
:::The sarcoidosis: alright, if you insist. It just seems weird to me ''not'' to mention that the heir-apparent to a throne suffers from a chronic, potentially debilitating, potentially deadly disease.
:::On your edits of the photo-op thing, I would like to ask you to reconsider the extent of your removals. Right now you've removed the detailing of the media code, including the fact that the press gets a photo-op with every occasion. From a (Dutch) legal point of view that is important, since it means that the "freedom of the press" argument is far less reasonable. Not explaining that makes the situation and the verdict harder to understand for outsiders (and might even be considered problematic with regards to [[WP:NPOV]], since it seems to bolster AP's position in the case). -- [[User:BenTels|BenTels]] ([[User talk:BenTels|talk]]) 09:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

:::<span style="color:red;">&gt;</span>With regards to Machangulo, the thought occurs that the best solution might even be to make reference to it in the article on Willem-Alexander and then move the body of the current text to a main article.
