A tag has been placed on [[:Battlement Mountain (disambiguation)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G14|section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a disambiguation page which either |
|||
:::*disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Is there a primary topic?|primary topic]]); |
|||
:::* disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or |
|||
:::*is an [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]] redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function. |
|||
Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such pages may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:MOSDAB|see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information]]. |
|||
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Battlement Mountain (disambiguation)|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Battlement+Mountain+%28disambiguation%29|deleting administrator}}. <!-- Template:Db-disambig-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:NmWTfs85lXusaybq|NmWTfs85lXusaybq]] ([[User talk:NmWTfs85lXusaybq|talk]]) 07:55, 6 July 2023 (UTC) |

::I do ;) (care, I mean). I am new to the topic and try to understand. For example why someone phrases "impose an infobox" where I would just say "add an infobox". The sheer mentioning of the word seems to generate strong feelings in some users. Looking at FAs, 2 of the 10 scheduled for April have no infobox, one is a political movement, the other an opera. Did you know that an {{tl|infobox opera}} is in the making? (Look at the example, for fun.) All bios of April have an infobox. - Looking at March: all 10 bios have an infobox, dead or alive.

I know the Fort Yellowstone article may seem like it is no longer mainly your effort, but it just seems that way I assure you. The research and body of the article and the message are all yours, and its an important storyline that even this old park ranger that used to work in Yellowstone, wasn't fully aware of. Kudos to you for educating so many.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 17:04, 22 April 2013 (UTC) |

:[[Glacier National Park (U.S.)]] Was brought to FA by Elkman and I back in 2007 and I updated it in 2010 so it could be on the mainpage that year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the park. Anyway, if you look in the section on glaciers, it has a gallery, but not in the standard format. The only real difference of note however, is that gallery is setup to provide a timeline of glacial retreat, showing how Grinnell Glacier has receded over time. So its not really just a random collection of images of buildings.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 18:58, 22 April 2013 (UTC) |

== Improper RfC closure at Talk:Ugg boots trademark disputes == |
|||
Hello. There is currently a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. <!--Template:ANI-notice--> Thank you. [[User:WLRoss|Wayne]] ([[User talk:WLRoss|talk]]) 12:58, 29 April 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:Not sure how I'm involved...will check it out.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 13:21, 29 April 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:Wayne...you apparently edited the UGG Boots article ''after'' [[User:Phoenix and Winslow]] did...the two of you first met (I believe) on the [[Franklin child prostitution ring allegations]] 2 years ago. On the Franklin article, much of what you were protecting was fringe material..and it was stubbed out by [[User:NuclearWarfare]]...You were also protecting fringe material on the [[Kerry and Kay Danes]] article (which Jimbo Wales ended up stubbing out) and many years ago on 9/11 related articles, which is where you and I first met and in which I was one of those keeping as much fringe material out as possible. Now I see you have followed Phoenix and Winslow to both UGG Boots and the Tea party dramafest...thats not good at all. Are you aware of the issues regarding Wikihounding?--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 03:50, 30 April 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::If you check the history of [[Ugg boots]] you will see that I started editing in October 2010. Phoenix and Winslow edited two days later which would have been the first time that I knew he was also editing the article. Despite both of us editing frequently, the first time we actually interacted was on the Talk page in July 2011 when I replied to a post he wrote and there was no acrimony at all. The disputes first started in October 2011 when P&W objected to using the word "generic" in the article. Most editors opposed him so he posted the most insane personal attack against me that I've ever seen[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ugg_boots/Archive_7] in an attempt to discredit everyone who opposed him. That post was the first time either of us said a bad word about the other in that article. I remained completely civil in answering that post and did not "complain" about anything else P&W said until two days later and that was because he was refusing to accept consensus. You can check the link above for yourself. Being on the same article, treating them civilly for the first 12 months and then only starting to argue after they make an unwarranted attack on you, is that the behavior of a stalker?<br />I remind you that over 90% of my 911 edits are still in those 911 articles and that the 911Arbcom you filed against me found nothing wrong with my editing. Are you claiming to be a higher authority than Arbcom? [[User:WLRoss|Wayne]] ([[User talk:WLRoss|talk]]) 05:09, 30 April 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:::I'll look again at your talkpage archives, but I did not see any evidence I filed either an arbcom case or filed an arbcom enforcement action. Jehochman did...he apparently brought up your edits and I may have commented. It would be helpful if you could supply diffs showing where I filed and also help me see what that "insane" personal attack was that Phoenix lodged against you rather than the link to the entire talkpage archive. Here's what has to happen between you two: either work together collaboratively or be forced into an interaction ban. But I know I can speak for the community when I tell you that this multi-front, multi-year antagonistic relation between you and Phoenix is growing tiresome. It should also be of note to you that disruption of articles isn't limited to article space...the worst POV pushing is usually in talk pages...and that sort of thingn the promotion of fringe stuff greatly undermines the ability of good fatih editors to effectively improve any article.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 11:52, 30 April 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::::My mistake, it was filed by Jehochman. That investigation also looked at my talk page posts and found them reasonable. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AUgg_boots&diff=454968028&oldid=454961051 This] is P&W's specific post, even you must admit that I never claimed Bush had prior knowledge. [[User:WLRoss|Wayne]] ([[User talk:WLRoss|talk]]) 15:31, 30 April 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:::::Okay...its always best to not get personal about other editors and Phoenix went overboard in that comment. What we need to do here is figure out a few things. Firstly...which one of you is or are either of you stalking each other. Secondly, if you two are showing up at places where the other is active with the sole purpose being to pick a fight, it needs to stop. Thirdly, if you can't stop, then the community will make you do so, either by way of an interaction ban, topic bans or other restrictions. So what do we have to do here...both of you know the way forward that is best to each of you and the pedia. Perhaps if you avoid the Tea Party articles, Phoenix will avoid the Ugg Boots articles...I don't know if that's a fair trade to both of you or not. Think about it.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 16:25, 30 April 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::::::If you check the editing history of Franklin child prostitution ring allegations you will see that Phoenix and Winslow made his first edit to that article in January 2011, over three months after I first edited Ugg boots so I couldn't possibly have followed him from the Franklin article to Ugg boots. We had no arguments at Ugg boots until October 2011 after he made that post. He has since brought up the stubbing in every single unrelated content discussion. In regards to the Ward Churchill article, I edited the page in April 2009. P&W first edited it in April 2011. In regards to the Webster Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin articles, I did follow him but was justified in doing so. P&W had argued on the Franklin talk page that because the Tarpley and Chaitkin articles both claimed in their leads that they were conspiracy theorists, the Franklin article could say the Franklin accusations were also a conspiracy theory because Tarpley and Chaitkin both supported the accusations. I then went and had a look at both articles...and found that P&W himself had edited both articles hours earlier to include the claim, so I tagged both edits requesting cites. Other editors reverted both of P&W's edits the next day as BLP violations. P&W is leading you up the garden path about stalking. The real problem is his bringing up the stubbing of the Franklin and Danes articles and my 9/11 editing to discredit the editors whose side I take in disputes and which you keep helping him with. This has been brought up before three boards but all that happens is that an admin tells him it's a personal attack and that he is not to do it again. Then he keeps doing it. It was so blatant during the RfC that I thought he would be finally warned at the very least but again he gets away with it. [[User:WLRoss|Wayne]] ([[User talk:WLRoss|talk]]) 08:51, 1 May 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::This isn't about who edited first...it about which one of you if either of you are following the other around the website. Now if he's adding material, especially to BLP's that needs a reference and you're simply adding citation needed tags, then that's not really an issue. The bottom line though is that you two seem to be at war across several article spaces and noticeboards...if you folks end up at arbcom, the arbitrators will look at everyones editing history...and sadly, it only takes a small fraction of diffs to cast a long shadow over even an overwhelming preponderance good contributions. The two of you need to decide what you're going to do to avoid further confrontations.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 13:45, 1 May 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::You are missing the point. We were both editing Ugg boots and this was the first time we "met". I was already editing Franklin when P&W turned up there. This was after we edited Ugg boots so definitely no following anyone on my part. Did P&W follow me to Franklin? It's possible but unlikely. At the Tarpley and Chaitkin articles I tagged unsourced edits he made to those articles specifically so that he could cite the Tarpley and Chaitkin biographies to support a Franklin edit he made, so that doesn't count as stalking. The result? No stalking by anyone. [[User:WLRoss|Wayne]] ([[User talk:WLRoss|talk]]) 15:23, 1 May 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::::Let me repeat...''The bottom line though is that you two seem to be at war across several article spaces and noticeboards''...so the two of you can either disengage or it will only get worse.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 15:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::::I stopped editing Tea Party as soon as it was brought up. The Ugg articles are the only ones we both edit. I created the article so how can I not edit it anymore just because someone doesn't like me and decides to disrupt it. P&W's very first post on this article accused it of "trashing Deckers" and avoiding mention that Australian companies are "obviously mimicking Deckers" boots. There would not be any warring at all if he didn't make personal attacks. [[User:WLRoss|Wayne]] ([[User talk:WLRoss|talk]]) 16:28, 1 May 2013 (UTC) |

MONGO, the sequence of events was fully detailed at the ANI thread, which has probably been archived already. I was already working steadily on the [[Ugg boots]] article in July-October 2010, and was also very active on the Talk page. On the afternoon of October 20, 2010 Wayne made some edits to the article mainspace, but then left immediately and didn't return for more than four months. We were two ships passing in the night. And for all practical purposes, he had moved on. I was still there. The head-on collision started in January and February, 2011 at the Franklin article, where he was ''on the other side in a content dispute.'' In March 2011 he returned to [[Ugg boots]] after an appearance one afternoon in October and an absence of over four months, ''on the other side in a content dispute.'' In April 2013 he showed up for the first time at any article about American politics: [[Tea Party movement]], ''on the other side in a content dispute.'' If I was working on a larger number of articles or involved in a larger number of content disputes, or if I hadn't walked away from Wikipedia completely for about a year, I think it would have become obvious a lot sooner. [[User:Phoenix and Winslow|Phoenix and Winslow]] ([[User talk:Phoenix and Winslow|talk]]) 14:26, 3 May 2013 (UTC) |

:A case could be made then at arbitration...short and sweet with diffs and little conversation.

:Its an odd thing that as long as I lived in that region and even participated for well over a month in the [[Yellowstone fires of 1988]], that until this past Saturday 7/29, I had never heard of the Blackwater fire. I stumbled upon the information inadvertantly and was also surprised no article, not even a stub had been written yet so I started the article...then the next day an even worse loss of life happens in Arizona. Kudos to you as well for seeing we needed the article on [[Ten Standard Firefighting Orders]]...that was quick work on your part. Thank you for the barnstar!--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 22:57, 2 July 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::I did not realize you wrote it before the Yarnell fire! I live in national forest in Colorado and Arizona, so I'm thinking a lot about wildfires lately. The Blackwater and Mann Gulch fires bracket an era of firefighting that led to the formation of the Ten Standard Firefighting Orders and many other advances in safety and technique. Blackwater is the major turning point for wildland firefighting techniques in the Western US. A surprising missing article. |

Really appreciate you're quick generation of the fireorders info and I guess we can include the watchouts (18 of them) in that page as well...will get to it this weekend if not sooner.

|||
*:Thanks Risker...I know the vast majority of firefighters go their entire careers and never have a major mishap. In 1994 I saw a helicopter crash and in 1996 I witnessed the crash of a Secret Service cargo jet on Sheep Mountain just outside Jackson Hole, Wyoming[http://www.nytimes.com/1996/08/19/us/9-die-in-crash-of-c-130-carrying-clinton-cargo.html]...I should be thankful that neither myself or anyone I knew personally that died on a fire or major accident. So odd that of all the millions of acres that burned in the Yellowstone region in 1988 that no one of the tens of thousands of firefighters and support personnel that were there that season died. The situation in Yarnell seems almost inexplainable...the reports when they come out will be somber reads.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 00:02, 4 July 2013 (UTC) |

Hi, I'm just letting you that I have removed a comment you posted on one of my user sub pages as I felt it was off-topic and you had missed the objective of the draft. You are welcome to comment there, but please do not use it to air any concerns about adminship or bureaucrats in general or anything that is not directly related to the draft. There are other places you can do that. Cheers, [[User:Kudpung|Kudpung กุดผึ้ง]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 00:11, 4 July 2013 (UTC) |

:My comments were spot on...The notion of having crats doing something they were not elected to do aint going to fly. Just because they will lose one useright doesn't mean we turn around and give them a new one that they were never elected to do. Thought you should get some feedback before you take this proposal live, but I see its by invitation only...Cheers,--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 01:05, 4 July 2013 (UTC) |

::You still appear to miss the purpose of the ''draft'' which is not expected to attract ''general'' comments on its talk page; anything like that can be expressed on the RfC ''if and when'' it ever goes life - that's what it's for. The invitations are deliberately public, so anyone finding them is welcome to provide their feedback. If they do, they are encouraged to read it carefully in order not to miss the explicit objective.

:::I'll let you and they hammer out how you want to word it and review it if you open the Rfc. I'm opposed to giving crats the ability to read consensus to desysop. I feel that there are extremely few admins (none standout) that have repeatedly misused their tools or positions that have kept their userights.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 01:43, 4 July 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::::That's your opinion, and I won't argue with it, but it's got nothing to do with the draft, or ''eventually'' asking the entire community to express their opinions on such an idea. I'm not even saying whether or not I personally favour such a solution, but I do feel it's one that the community should be given an opportunity to deliberate upon. I don't care either way if they reject or accept it. So let's leave it at that. [[User:Kudpung|Kudpung กุดผึ้ง]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 01:53, 4 July 2013 (UTC) |

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small> |

Extra tools would let me be a bigger participant during the week as I do most article editing on weekends when I have sufficient time to do the necessary research.

== Re: [[Tea Party movement]] ArbCom case == |
|||
Thanks for the note on my User Talk page. In the ArbCom case for [[Tea Party movement]], I've presented evidence of the Wikistalking, including the statement by [[User:WLRoss]] on May 1, "I stopped editing Tea Party as soon as it was brought up," and then returning to [[Talk:Tea Party movement]], on the other side of the content dispute once again, in the middle of June after the heat had died down. If you have any evidence to present, or comments to make regarding the proposed findings of fact I've offered the Committee [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Tea_Party_movement/Workshop#Proposed_findings_of_fact_6 here], you may wish to provide "comments by others." Also there is a motion to just page ban everybody — the good, the bad, and the ugly — for six months and hope that some uninvolved editors will show up and reach consensus during those six months. Discussion of the motion rapidly moved into polite discussion that was predictably characterized as "bickering." The comments and discussion start [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Tea_Party_movement/Proposed_decision#banning_everyone.3F here]. regards ....

|||
:I don't like the motion but it's an easy way out since, in defense of the committee, this while mess is pretty difficult to see who is right and who is wrong. I did try to follow the issues but the fact is that I need like 12 hours to get up to speed to make a coherent comment on the matter and right now I don't have the time. However, the editor in question is well known to me and has been problematic now in at least 4 different articles...so any further misuse of this website by him to promote fringe viewpoints is going to force us to put a stop to it.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 18:27, 30 July 2013 (UTC) |

Hi again, other than thanking you for the appreciation that you showed me, I wanted to address something which I had forgotten. I forgot to verify the sources and do a quick check on its factual accuracy (Not that it's needed, I just want to give it a try). I'll give you the feedback here itself maybe within a day or two, do you want me to? You can say no since surely users more familiar with the topic/sources are will do it anyway in any nominations. |

Also, wherever you want take it from there, whether GA or FA, I'll keep a close watch too. I would like to see what has been overlooked or even better, if it gets pumped up to a GA. -[[User:Ugog Nizdast|Ugog Nizdast]] ([[User talk:Ugog Nizdast|talk]]) 18:08, 6 August 2013 (UTC) |

Hey MONGO, so you've been commenting on a number of different threads on stuff having to do with 9/11 when conspiracy theorists want to change things to usually support their own beliefs, but that isn't what brought me here. I am not sure if you are an NFL fan, but I am a huge one. I wanted to know the other day what current head coaches in the league have won a Super Bowl ever in their career, not just as a head coach. None of this information was on one page, so I decided to make one, the first I have ever attempted, so if you got a minute and can look at it and make any suggestions before I submit it that would be a big help. You can see it [[Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Current_NFL_Head_Coach_Super_Bowl_History|here.]] I'm working on adding a couple pictures. I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to position the tables on the page so they are next to each other rather then above and below each other. Please let me know.

:::You have plenty of references...it would be better to convert them to citation templates. It appears authoritative and I would add as many images of the coaches as possible. Not much of an expert of tables...if you search around at similar lists you may find a format that meets your needs....--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 17:54, 25 September 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::::Thanks for the input. Because I was bored, I started going through and I made an additional table of current head coaches that have played in and lost Super Bowls as well just in case it is decided that it would be relevant. So I got everyone that has won one and lost one on the page. One guy was saying that it doesn't seem like a useful page and that "what if a coach retires tomorrow, do we take him off the page," to which I replied that while coaches get fired every season (retiring doesn't happen often), it usually only happens in the couple weeks following the season, so there isn't a constant shifting of coaches that would make the page inaccurate and in need of constant updating. The majority of people that I asked said it was an interesting list, so I'm hoping it gets accepted. What do you mean by converting the references to a citation template though? Do you have an example I can see? I can usually figure out how to do it myself if I can see the page source.

:::::::::So I basically finished the article. It needs to have a couple pictures added to it and a couple other things, but the content part is all there. I've gotten some mixed responses. Some said that it wasn't needed because all the information is on the individual coaches page, but more people said it was interesting and worth it. It isn't true though that all the info is on the individuals page. I saw quite a few that listed that they worth with the team during that season but didn't mention they won the Super Bowl that season. I have seen so many random lists on Wikipedia that take info from other pages and group it together if it has something in common. I mean would it be a wildly popular article? No. But would it be interesting? Yes. Is it accurate? Yes. I just don't see why it shouldn't be added. What purpose does it serve? Well the whole reason anyone gets in that league is to win a SB, so it's nice to see what coaches have that "fulfillment". So I submitted it and hopefully they accept it.

{{out}}It might be that reviewers will see the article as a little redundant to the [[List of Super Bowl head coaches]], which lists currently active head coaches in green. However your article shows all head coaches that won a Super Bowl as either a head coach, an assistant, a player or in some shape or form. All I would change is the title to [[Super Bowl history of active NFL head coaches]].--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 00:38, 30 September 2013 (UTC) |

:Huh, I have not seen that article before. But still, my argument is just what you said, that list shows who has won as a head coach while this one shows who has ever won one, and lost one if found relevant.

== Jules and Gedeon Naudet == |
|||
So because it is 9/11 related, I figured I would bug you about this one as well. I was scrolling through the pictures on my phone and I forgot that when I went to the [[American History Museum]] here in D.C. a few weeks ago, I saw the video camera that was used by Jules Naudet that captured the only good footage of Flight 11 crashing into the North Tower and I took a picture of it. First question is do you think it is even worth adding to the [[Jules_and_Gedeon_Naudet|Jules and Gedeon Naudet]] article, and if it is, are we allowed to use a picture I took from inside the museum?

==[[Wikipedia talk:Paid editing policy proposal]]== |

Hi Mongo. I was a little confused by your "oppose" comment in the paid editing policy proposal. The purpose of the proposal is to curb paid editing. Now admittedly it's weak and wholly inadequate, and I'm beginning to see the whole thing as an exercise in futility. However, what confused me was that it does purport to regulate or limit paid editing, even in a weak way, and the people voting oppose have generally seen nothing wrong with paid editing. Hence my curiosity. Thanks, [[User:Coretheapple|Coretheapple]] ([[User talk:Coretheapple|talk]]) 18:34, 17 October 2013 (UTC) |

::Oh, I see what you mean. Let me say that I agree with you 100%. My personal feeling is that maybe we should just abandon all efforts at regulating conflicts of interest and put a disclosure on each article to the effect that content may have been added by paid editors. Overall I am in accord with you that the proposal is far too weak. Still, I did support it in an earlier form as I felt it was better than nothing, but you're right, it is an acceptance of paid editing and that is just plain wrong, unless greatly curtailed in a way that is anathema to most editors.

<blockquote> |
|||
{{TFAIMAGE|Blackwater fire 1.jpg|The Blackwater fire}} |
|||
The '''[[Blackwater fire of 1937|Blackwater fire]]''' was caused by a lightning strike on {{nowrap|August 18, 1937}} in [[Shoshone National Forest]], about {{convert|35|mi}} west of [[Cody, Wyoming]], United States. Fifteen firefighters were killed by the [[wildfire|forest fire]] when a [[Dry line|dry weather front]] caused the winds to suddenly increase and change direction. The fire quickly spread into dense forest, trapping some of the firefighters in a [[firestorm]]. Nine died during the fire and six died afterwards from severe burns and respiratory complications; 38 others were injured. More U.S. wildland firefighters died in the Blackwater fire than in any incident since the [[Great Fire of 1910]]; the death-toll was not surpassed until 2013 when 19 firefighters died in the [[Yarnell Hill Fire]]. Firefighters in the first half of the 20th century used mostly hand tools to suppress wildfires, and all gear was carried by the firefighters or by pack animals. Weather forecasting and radio communication were generally poor or nonexistent. After the Blackwater fire, better ways to respond to such fires were developed, including the [[smokejumper]] program in 1939 and the ''[[Ten Standard Firefighting Orders]]'' (a standardized set of wildland firefighting principles) in 1957. {{TFAFULL|Blackwater fire of 1937}} |

MONGO: I will ignore your playfully threatening web banner. (I think it distracts from the purpose of Wikipedia.) You deleted an addition of mine to the article, [[Collapse of the World Trade Center]], calling it a "conspiracy theory." My addition, under "Other Investigations," was: |
|||
"Although the NIST report states that the agency "did not look for evidence of explosives" being involved in the World Trade Center catastrophe, a team of chemists and physicists headed by Niels H. Harrit of the University of Copenhagen published in 2009 the finding of the pyrotechnic material [[Thermite | nanothermite]] in dust samples from the World Trade Center site.<ref>{{cite web | year = 2009 | url = http://www.benthamscience.com/open/tocpj/articles/V002/7TOCPJ.pdf | title = Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe | publisher = Bentham Science Publishers | accessdate = 2013-10-27}}</ref> The editor of the publication at the time was [[Marie-Paule Pileni]], an international expert in nanometric materials." |
|||
Can you please explain to me what is a "conspiracy theory" about that? Just as the NIST investigators, I think you have taken the abscence of explosives (better called "pyrotechnic materials," because they are not loud) as a *premise*, and sought to explain the rapid collapse of the three WTC buildings soley by other factors. You and others refuse to question your initial assumptions, calling any other assumptions out-of-hand "impossible." There is nothing conspiratorial about asking a scientific study to question its assumptions. |
|||
**I would prefer that you UNDO your deletion of my material instead of me.** Add to it or modify it if you must. |
|||
Yes, the scientific integrity of Bentham Science Publications has been called into question. The article [[World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories]] cites an article in Library Journal by Norman Oder (footnote 11), but I have read this article and it has nothing to do with Marie-Paule Pileni's reasons for resignation as editor. See Neils Harrit's interpretation <ref> http://scientistsfor911truth.org/docs/Harrit_PileniResignation.pdf</ref>. |

== canvassing for ArbCom == |

Hello Mongo, noticed your suggestion that Acroterion ought to run for ArbCom. I'm in agreement. Can we run a [[political draft]] campaign, and test the waters? [[WP:CANVASSING]] seems to apply to content-disputes, not to arbcom elections, but I've never taken an interest in arbcom-stuff before this year, so maybe you can guide me on what's Good and what is NotGood in these sorts of scenarios. My suggestion is that we put an appropriate notice[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Recruiting] onto your subsection of Acroterion's talkpage, and then ask all they people they've helped or been nice to or otherwise assisted, to come over and leave a supportive comment. |
|||
== Rescheduled online meeting of the Wikimedians of the U.S. Mountain West 05/21/2024 == |
|||
This '''is''' biasing consensus-on-Acroterion's-personal-talkpage, of course, but the *real* test of the actually *important* consensus -- assuming Acroterion can be convinced to run for a seat -- is whether or not they *get* elected, which is of course a decision that will not be made on their own personal talkpage. Is inviting like-minded people to the draft-Acroterion-discussion, after which conceivably the same folks may or may not then later participate in the actual !voting of the actual ArbCom election, going to mess with some sort of anti-canvassing taboo? Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/74.192.84.101|74.192.84.101]] ([[User talk:74.192.84.101|talk]]) 14:38, 16 November 2013 (UTC) |

:The best are oftentimes the most unlikely to run...and while they would be an example of the ideal candidate, I know Acroterion has zero interest. It's not a violation of canvassing to make a suggestion to someone that they run for arbcom or admin, but I don't want to be involved in an active recruitment campaign.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 15:58, 16 November 2013 (UTC) |

:: Sure, and I respect that you might not want to be actively-out-pounding-on-user-talkpage-doors, [[WP:REQUIRED]] applies of course. But if '''I''' was interested in doing such a thing, and I were to go visit some people I know working on harrier jump jets with me at the moment, and drop Ac4arb messages on *the talkpages of my friends* ... suggesting they visit your suggestion to run, over on the Acroterion-user-talkpage... is that [[WP:Okay]] or would it be [[WP:VeryNotOkay]]? Same question, about posting over at wikiProjectMilitaryHistory, where Acroterion has lots of friends, but I don't happen to know anybody. |
|||
:: While I understand that it is taboo for Acroterion to wp:canvass for themselves, and also seems to be taboo for anybody to canvass for voters of a certain stripe, sending them to the arbcom-elections-page... my ask-my-friends-to-convince-Acroterion-to-think-about-running 'campaign' seems several steps removed. That makes it a bit of a grey area, and lacking some explicit yes-that-is-okay guidance, I'd err on the side of caution. So, do you have knowledge of okay-ness, for me to pursue such a thing, even though you aren't interested in pursuit yourself personally? p.s. Keyboard for typing, not for gnawing!

:::Acroterion is most definitely not interested and cannot be talked into it...lets leave him be...thanks. If you can think of potential candidates other than him and you want to suggest they run then there isn't any rules against that...but the nomination period is nearly up.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 00:01, 18 November 2013 (UTC) |

Well, not to violate [[WP:NPA]] or anything, but I noticed Bishzilla bragging about using a keyboard the size of Wisconsin, or something. Didn't want you to feel left out. Perhaps you should contact this corporation,[http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/09/the-oree-wireless-wooden-keyboard/] and see if they produce a special-edition version with MONGO-sized keycaps? Might need to make sure the hardwood they use is sustainably sourced though. Hope this helps, and don't let that big ol' lizard get you down. :-) [[Special:Contributions/74.192.84.101|74.192.84.101]] ([[User talk:74.192.84.101|talk]]) 15:04, 16 November 2013 (UTC) |

Speedy deletion nomination of Battlement Mountain (disambiguation)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Battlement Mountain (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Glad I have other things to worry about than this website as some folks are hell bent on making it a completely unfun place to be. Nice job dlthewave...you succeeded in getting the articles redirected yet I see the page they redirect to have no further information...only empty headers. The purpose of a stub is so myself or anyone can come along and work to expand it...bandwidth is cheap so deletion is just plain stupid. This is why we have stub tags.--MONGO (talk) 11:16, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
