A kitten for you!

Great works!! You have improved a lot....Keep up.... The herald 15:33, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
The Herald - how sweet - thank you!! And thank you for being so patient and giving of your time. I'm pretty excited about a couple new projects I'm working on offline, and also trying to improve a very inaccurate "start" article that relies heavily on self-published sources, and original research.

FA congratulations

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of American paddlefish to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at the requests page. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,287 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Bencherlite^Talk 10:46, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, Bencherlite. I believe in the DYK/GA/FA process, admire the reviewers for their diligence, and generosity of their time, and hope I will be able to help bring more quality articles to Wikipedia. Atsme☯^Consult 12:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Any Point?

Your quote- "I may not be perfect, but I can certainly strive to be." If there is absolutely no chance of being perfect, why try to be. Just a random question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.99.140.221 (talk) 22:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

• Because as long as you are striving to be perfect you keep getting better. Grasping that concept may be difficult for those who set limits on themselves or lack self-confidence. Atsme☯^Consult 06:03, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Emerson

I wouldn't revert Binksternet... I made a post at WP:AE over the actions and Cwobeel has been blocked temporarily over the matter and Binkster decided to reinsert it. On his unblock request, Cwobeel says I am making false statements and the only one opposed to calling Emerson an Islamophobe based half sentence (and purely name-calling) quips. I am might just unwatchlist the article because it is time-consuming and the battleground mentality is just really unpleasant for me. Feels like ole "Taylorology" here... ChrisGualtieri (talk) 17:03, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that, Chris. I know we've had our differences, but I have always considered you a valuable collaborator. I understand your frustration, especially with the Emerson - IPT fiasco. I was not aware you filed an AE, but will check it out in a few. Can't figure out why some editors just don't get it, and why we are seeing so many unmitigated attacks on BLPs, especially in the past year or so. Maybe instead of blocks, admins could impose a reading exercise that includes a thorough review of several FAs followed by a reading comprehension exam.

BTW, I started reading a few WP articles on what were once considered RS, such as the SPLC. I also read a few BLPs on highly controversial people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and even threw in Charles Manson out of curiosity. I didn't see any NPOV issues in those articles. I also noticed how very little mention was made about the recent rash of criticism regarding SPLC in the past year, most of which is pretty high profile in mainstream media. Contrary to the aforementioned, poor Emerson has been targeted and attacked front and rear for a stupid gaffe he made in one interview. WP:RECENTISM. Worse yet, they still insist on including poorly sourced, inaccurate information re: Ok City bombing that dates back 20 years, and then deny it's noncompliant with NPOV and UNDUE. Atsme☯^Consult 17:48, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Yep... remember when you got all upset and dismissed future interactions with me? I had a feeling it was just the tensions and saw another editor clarified it because I failed to and I didn't want to get frustrated. It resolved itself in a sense. I expect people to disagree and have different opinions - it was your assertions which made me dig into Emerson and find out the deeper connections and issues. People you agree with result in a confirmation bias... different opinions and different views are not bad, but unfettered conflict is. Unfortunately, the line between the two blur under certain circumstances. I was strongly against a few things, but my arguments were not as strong and I switched sides after a particularly strong response. I couldn't argue against it, I may not personally agree... but it was the right decision in the end. I learned this about two years ago... and its not something which can be taught.
