Dear Spinningspark,

I’m sorry: I didn’t mean to “spam” (?) your page: just wanted to be certain my message would effectively reach its intended recipient(s)

+ I’m not sure I know how to link internally to a WP page: your help is appreciated.

Have a nice weekend,

You write the page name between double square brackets. For instance, to link to my page you write [[User:Spinningspark]] and it looks like this: User:Spinningspark. You can specify a particular section of a page by using #, for example User:Spinningspark#Resources. SpinningSpark 23:23, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:18, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi B.Andersohn, and thank you for leaving feedback. I'm really glad that you're enjoying using and editing Wikipedia!

You have placed some material about a current WP:CFD on my talk page. Your comments belong on the CFD page, where the admin who closes the discussion will see them. He is the person that you need to persaude not me. Yes, certain regular CFD contributors do not have much clue on individual ethnicities.

Hi B.Andersohn,

I see you have an interest in financial based Wikipedia pages and I'm getting in touch as I was wondering if you could help me out with the Brevan Howard article? They're one of the largest hedge funds in the world, but their Wikipedia page has a number of factual inaccuracies in it. The talk page clearly identifies all of the inaccuracies, backed them all up with sources. The user page of the previous editor who was helping out says he is taking a long break from Wiki, and the page hasn't attracted any new editors since October 2013.

It would be very much appreciated if you could lend a hand on this. --Jenny.barrett (talk) 12:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm new to the wiki community and would like to start working on editing the Property Insurance page with the help and collaboration of more experienced contributors from Project Finance Participants. There is a recommendation that the Chartis article be merged with AIG's page. I think the Property Insurance page could be strengthened with parts of AIG's page since it shows how current events and emerging trends effect it's regulation by the government. Hurricane Sandy and updated payouts of the WTC are not on the Property Insurance page either - which to me seem to be relevant. Do you think adding more information would be beneficial to the Property Insurance page? If so would you be interested in collaborating what facts should be included? Any response would be kindly appreciated. Thank you.Lgkkitkat (talk) 03:37, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Pension investment in private equity, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Pension Investment in Private Equity. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:49, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please, do not remove CFD templates from categories being discussed, as you did here. The template explicitly states, "Please do not remove or change this Template:Cfd message until the survey and discussion at WP:Cfd is closed". The nominator is aware that the category has been discussed two years ago. That does not preclude a re-nomination two years later. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:13, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not sure the “nominator [was] aware that the category [had] been discussed two years ago” when I removed the CfD in question, nor that he has any serious qualification re: the matter he chose to discuss! … But I agree that this “does not preclude a re-nomination two years later.” B.Andersohn (talk) 22:22, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimately, it's irrelevant whether or not he was aware of it, and it's also irrelevant what his "qualifications" were. You don't remove the template from a category that has been nominated until the nomination has been closed. Doing so is regarded by many as disruptive editing. I don't know how the instructions on the template itself could be any clearer. Good Ol’factory ^(talk)

I think you might also want to be aware of Wikipedia standards regarding canvassing of other users. This and this do not look good in that regard. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:31, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear GO’F, I’m v. busy & thus won’t have much time to engage in vain polemics… I’ve just read your menacing message (“I think you may also want to be aware”!) worthy of the Ministerium für Staatssicherheit circa 1965: frankly, I don’t see how calling upon the learned contributions of Wikipedians who actually took part in the original CfD discussions two years ago can be construed as “canvassing” (??), except of course if one has some malevolent intent- considering his shallow views were dismissed back then… B.Andersohn (talk) 10:02, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spare me: these are Wikipedia guidelines, not ones I've made up on my own. How else am I supposed to let you know about them when it's unclear if you've ever heard of them before? But if you've nothing to hide, then per full transparency, you'll have no problem revealing the content of the message that was sent. Have you read the page WP:CANVASS? This appears to fall within the section on "Stealth canvassing". Also, I would note that while you did make an effort to notify two users who agreed with your position from the previous discussion, you did not notify any of the participants who disagreed with you. That's also discussed in the guideline and may fall into what is called "votestacking". Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 10:12, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, I have a v. busy day and more importantly, I’m not in the habit of yielding to censorship masquerading in the guise of bureaucratic enforcement (“Have you really read chapter XX, section 675, paragraph 7854 of Party Golden Rule N°347-898-Kbis, really?”) 1) For the record: you took part in the original CfD discussion two years ago and your views were clearly in the minority back then: you then joined the current discussion yesterday… Fair enough: it may (or may not) be judicious to reopen the said debate, but it’s certainly conceivable in case people can bring sensible arguments and discuss things politely and agreeably 2) BUT then why not let others express their views freely, without bullying them? And why ask other Wikipedians to open their mail “in public” and self-flagellate before you? These encroachments on intellectual liberty are simply appalling B.Andersohn (talk) 10:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, obviously you're not open to the help I was attempting to offer you. Frankly, after removing the CFD template, you weren't coming across as a user that was very well versed in Wikipedia guidelines, so I was trying to give you some assistance in recognizing that some of your actions will reflect poorly upon you. You've felt threatened by this, so I apologize. But I do need to ask you to stop posting non-neutral invites to the discussion on users' pages. You may not think they are non-neutral, but—well, you really should read WP:CANVASS, despite your expressed non-interest in Wikipedia standards and guidelines. Non-neutral notifications to other users can be a form of disruption on Wikipedia, which can ultimately lead to a restriction of editing privileges. (And no, this is not a threat—I'm trying to help you dammit!) Finally, my comments to you have nothing to do with attempting to restrict anyone from expressing their views. If you read them carefully, I think you could interpret them in a way that would be consistent with this not being my intent. (In other words, my comments should be interpreted according to the way I'm saying they were intended, and not the way in which you have colored them.) Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:03, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear GOF, as the tone of your comments seems to be less abrasive/more humane, I shall reciprocate and “give you the benefit of the [Cartesian] doubt” as we say in Gallic parlance! I honestly believe my OPENLY calling upon a small representative sample of seasoned editors/contributors from 4 different countries/diverse cultural backgrounds = 1 Greek, 1 US, 1 UK and 1 Benelux is not akin to “canvassing” in any shape or form. For the record, only one of them had expressed a (mildly) “opinionated” view in the previous CfD discussion two years ago… But, then again, so did you! And yet you didn’t “exclude” or recuse yourself! Also, the wordings of my publically available requests are rather cordial and transparent: e.g. “Some Wikipedians have reopened an old CfD debate, aiming at removing the “People of Levantine-Greek Orthodox Christian descent” category. Can you please help us with your learned arguments & let us know if you’re in favor of keeping it? I, personally, think it shouldn’t be removed. My personal perspective is Positivist & thus mostly ethno-cultural.” The said invitation is perfectly legitimate, entirely neutral and doesn’t infringe upon any WP regulation . . . B.Andersohn (talk) 23:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that your notifications were not extremely non-neutral. But because of the ways in which bare writing can be interpreted (with its inherent lack of tone, etc. that usually comes with spoken language), they were somewhat non-neutral. This is what WP:CANVASS tries to get across: that a brief and highly generic notification is best, because it avoids these misinterpretations to the greatest extent possible. For instance: (1) Some Wikipedians have reopened an old CfD debate: this could definitely be interpreted in multiple ways. Although you probably meant it as helpful background, it can also be read as being critical of the action of these "some Wikipedians". (2) let us know if you’re in favor of keeping it?: it's best not to word an invite in this way. It would be equally problematic to say, "let us know if you're in favor of deleting it". Again, probably not your intent, but it can be interpreted as meaning "please vote in favor of keeping it". (3) I, personally, think it shouldn’t be removed. A neutral notification will not express an opinion on the matter, even one that is explicitly stated as a personal opinion. Also, if you notify any user from the previous discussion, it is usually considered good form to notify all of the users from the previous discussion—to be neutral, you notify all of them, or none of them. And emailing users to notify them—because the contents of such notifications are unknown and usually unknowable—they generally do cast a pall of non-neutrality over the discussion whether or not the contents were in fact completely neutral.

As for my own involvement—well, I'm not that wedded to a result. I have an opinion, but I don't care that much. My concerns here have been more targeted at process rather than results. I'm certainly not going to be the administrator that closes the discussion. But I think it's OK for me to see processes that are problematic and to act. I would have acted the same had I not participated int he discussion initially or if I saw the same behavior by users that had results opinions that I agreed with. If you want me to refer this issue to another admin who is not involved in the discussion for him or her to assess whether you and/or I have been acting appropriately, I would be happy to do that. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:18, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your last commentary is much clearer & more constructive- even though I don’t agree with everything you say notably re: contextualization and neutrality, but I (think I) see what you mean… I guess we were off to a “bad start” after my deleting that CfD sign (wrongly, thanks for explain why) and you thinking (wrongly) I “had something to hide” by sending a private email to one of the earlier contributors…etc. An unfortunate “chain reaction”… But I’m glad the acrimony is gone on both sides: we can now agree to disagree civilly. B.Andersohn (talk) 00:41, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes—I hope you know that I wish you no ill will and apologize for coming off badly. As I mentioned, writing is open to variable interpretations, and often how something is taken is not exactly what was intended. It is something that I always need to remind myself to work on from my end. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:56, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello dear thank you and I added my opinion and i'm in favor of keeping it. It's an ethnoreligious group called Antiochian Greeks with 2000 year of history. communities make up a significant proportion of the Middle Eastern diaspora, with sizeable population concentrations across the diaspora. This ethnoreligious identity is not only based on religion, but also on national and cultural identity. Have a nice day --Jobas (talk) 16:03, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks J. A lot of that stuff is under-researched & poorly understood: it’s refreshing to meet real experts!

“Melkite” is probably too old-fashioned and lost (part of its original) meaning anyway circa 1730 CE with the emergence of “Uniat-ism” in Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria.

You’re using “Antiochian Greeks” in the modern sense = as quasi-synonymous to “People of Levantine-Greek Orthodox Christian Descent”, which is fine with me. In the old days = say pre-1918 or before 1936, “Antiochian Greeks” sometimes had a much narrower sense = only the “purely” European and Ionian and Karaman and Pontian “Greek-speaking Greeks” living in Alexandretta, Aleppo and Latakiah, excluding the autochthonous Greek-Orthodox and Greek-Catholic Christians who could only speak Turkish and Levantine Arabic (‘Syro-Lebanese dialect’).

That definition of “Antiochian Greeks” was v. silly and only came to be after the 16th century when small “fresh” waves of Greek “immigrants” came to Cilicia and Syria from Greece itself and from Central and Western Anatolia – some of them choosing not to merge/intermarry with the existing Greco-Levantine communities of Antioch, Alexandretta, Aleppo, Beirut, Damascus, Nazareth… etc. Bottom line, even the “original” definition is not that old. The modern, broadened definition you use makes perfect sense. But I still prefer “People of Levantine-Greek Orthodox Descent”!  ;)) Keep up the good work BA B.Andersohn (talk) 16:29, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear B.Andersohn, just a remark on the side, I've deliberately not included this in the CfD discussion. You're giving me the impression (maybe rightly maybe wrongly) that you're missing the whole purpose of Wikipedia. The purpose of Wikipedia is not just to demonstrate any expertise, the purpose is to have experts (in whatever fields) share their expertise with lay people in such a way that lay people can understand it and can also verify the credibility of what is being shared. As a lay person I can only say that the category that was created and the discussion that we had about it do not credibly contribute to lay people's knowledge about this topic. While I'm not saying you make false assertions, just making assertions is beside the point of Wikipedia. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:19, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia:About#Strengths.2C_weaknesses.2C_and_article_quality_in_Wikipedia. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:43, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Marcocapelle, For the record, I’ve always quoted you [mostly] verbatim to use one of those ‘fancy’ Latin or Greek words you seem to despise – & [v. rarely], when not quoting you verbatim, I’ve simply summarized in a few words long sentences of yours, always objectively & never out of context. I understand you’ve eluded my last point exposing the fallacy of your main “argument”: “Many WP categories actually exist without being necessarily/always derived from one single/particular “corresponding” article ==> You’re wrong”. As for “I think everything has been said what needs to be said so I stop engaging in this discussion”, well I couldn’t agree more: at long last we have some real “consensus” here. I guess you can go on thinking blissfully that Blaise Pascal was a Cajun software programmer and that Aristotle was Belgian! ;) [Pls. Note: I’m not using quotation marks in that last sentence attributable to Dr. Otto West]. B.Andersohn (talk) 15:47, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The difference (for the effectiveness of Wikipedia) is that a number of people took the effort to write an article about Pascal and Aristotle while you haven't offered to write an article about this Levantine descent topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:46, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Marco, even though I strongly disagree with (most of) what you’ve written so far in the reopened CfD discussions re: ‘People of Greek Orthodox Christian descent”, a subtle, nuance ethno-cultural category you and GO’F have tried to delete entirely arbitrarily… I’m not against up-merging & I’m willing to help with the proposed P-GOC article draft, as per suggested by you & SFB & RD B.Andersohn (talk) 20:36, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think that article will be key. If you have sources explaining that this is an ethnic identifier (i.e. you don't have to be an active church member), that would quickly shut down these category deletion nominations. Also, the article could discuss how Greek Orthodox people from the Middle East refer to themselves under a variety of terms. Both of these would be really helpful for letting lay readers understand this topic more fully.. Thanks! RevelationDirect (talk) 12:26, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Thank you for participating in these nominations. I could sense your frustration in the Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 December 14#Category:Russian Orthodox Christians discussion and I sometimes feel strongly about nominations as well. I've found that, in topics where I have expertise, other editors are very receptive to explaining background and providing links that are accessible to the lay reader. Since there is no way to verify credentials or expertise among editors, questioning the intelligence of other contributors is less likely to bring people away to your round of thinking.

Thanks, RevelationDirect (talk) 12:39, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RD, I don’t think I was ever rude or uncivil with Marco or GO’F: I simply replied to (what me & other ‘academic’ contributors from various jurisdictions including the US, France, Greece, Cyprus, Macedonia, the UK…) perceived as their abrasive, cavalier tendency to “edit” aggressively other people’s contributions (many of whom seem to know the issues at hand [Byzantine history, the Ottoman “Millet system and its legal & cultural implications amongst Levantine minorities], cultural anthropology and Greco-Melkite theology] better than them… and Marco’s zealous category demolition enterprise!! Anyhow, I’m willing to bury the hatchet to use an Iroquois proverb B.Andersohn (talk) 20:51, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning, I came here to write something similar as RevelationDirect, he was quite a bit earlier than me. For some reason you've been taking this very personally and there's really no reason to. More specifically, your remarks about my lack of expertise on a topic and your remarks about my level of English, and just generally your attempts to make me look like a complete fool are all entirely irrelevant in a topic discussion and can be regarded as a personal attack, especially if occurring on a repetitive basis. Please don't make this kind of comments again. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:20, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, you seem to have understood my words as being authoritative, snobby, rude.... etc. Im sorry for this, I hear that a lot from my friends and family and colleagues. but its never my intention to insult or make anyone feel bad. I just speak up my mind with no ill intention. I'll try to low down my tone. Having said that, I am fundamentally against your arguments not because of "bias" but because of the knowledge I have acquired reading about the subject and dealing with my Syrian friends from the Rum christian church. Cheers.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 23:58, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was only trying to correct (some of) the gross approximations and blatant inaccuracies you’ve inserted in what used to be a B+/decent Wikipedia article- now it reads more like a vulgar Soviet-era textbook …

As I have other fish to fry, I shall let you play Commissar, “denouncing” other WP contributors instead of discussing & arguing rationally. I’m sure comrade Trofim Denisovich Lysenko would be proud of you! Wishing you all the best…

His parents were Maronite. His team confirmed that information, according to the main Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo.[1] I already posted the source, including in the talk page of the article. Cheers. Xuxo (talk) 14:20, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the town is nowadays "100% Orthodox" does not mean it was the case back in the 1920s when his parents moved to Brazil. His parents were born in that town, but it does not mean that their family background is from that town. They could be the children of migrants from another Lebanese region. People move to other cities in search of better living conditions, the same way people move from a religion to another. Anyway, these are just theories. His team confirmed to Folha de S. Paulo his Maronite background and that is what matters. Xuxo (talk) 14:27, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You’re absolutely wrong. You don't seem to know much re: the 'Millet' ethnocultural system that defined the life of minorities in Turkey and the Levant (including Lebanon) up until 1920.

There's only one Temer/Tamer Christian family in Lebanon and they ALL belong to a distinct ethno-cultural minority called ‘Antiochian Greek Orthodox'. They simply converted to mainstream Roman Catholicism AFTER their migration to Brazil in the 1920s. The ‘Maronite Catholic Church’ is a distinct minority.

The statement from “Temer’s team” is absurd… as hinted by the Brazilian journalist who wrote the article you have quoted: VILAREJO-LIBANES-DO-FILHO-MICHEL-TEMER-SEGUE-IGREJA-ORTODOXA-GREGA

“…A populacao de Btaaboura segue a tradicao de igraja ortodoxa grega …. Os primos de Michel Temer afirmam ser a religiao de TODA A FAMILIA” There is absolutely no ambiguity here – for an objective, intellectually honest analyst.

Hello B.Andersohn
Reaganomics it ain't.
Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 12:10, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shirt58

Yes: you're right. That's precisely why 'Reaganomics' (itself a little 'confusing' back in 1980) is mentioned as one of 'contradictory' ideological traditions... not as the only/sacred blueprint etc. Full disclosure: I, personally, am more (on the center-left side of) of the Eisenhower tradition = neither Reaganite nor 'Progressive'. I tried to be objective based on what we know so far...

Perhaps it's good to add a 3rd paragraph at the top = before developing the 4 sections = 2 sentences summarizing succinctly the "Anti-Trumponomics" view(s) (WSJ/WS/'Wall Street' on the right, NYT/CAP on the left) => pls. do so if you have the time. if not, no worries: I'll do it later.

Dear Bj,

since you contributed a lot to the article Developmentalism, please let me direct this question to you: i fail to understand why an article about Developmentalism doesn't mention people and institutions fundamental to it, like Celso Furtado, the Brazilian economist, and CEPAL.

Could you please explain me that ? .

All the best,
--Hgfernan (talk) 13:51, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Celso Furtado Yes of course: you're absolutely right,,, his early writings & work at the helm of BNDE are v. much remarkable ...

Do you have time to write a short paragraph summarizing succinctly his 2 or 3 main views?

If not, I'll work on this upon my return = end April

Cordially

--B.Andersohn (talk) 16:43, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bj !

Thanks for your prompt and kind answer. I will write a little about Furtado and CEPAL in the context of Developmentalism. I'm trying to learn more economics, and that will be a fine way to do so. As a more experienced editor of economics, please correct me, if i'm wrong.

Furtado and CEPAL were highly praised here, in an earlier generation. So, please feel free to correct my enthusiastic presentation of their work. 8-)

Hey there! I just re-launched the WikiProject Investment.

The site has been fully revamped and updated and I would like to invite you the project.

Feel free to check out the project and ping me if you have any questions.

I'd like to invite you to join the Investment WikiProject. There are a lot of Investment related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help get this project off the ground and a few Investment pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks!

Hi,

I noticed you're a member of the Wikipedia Finance and Investment project. I wonder if you'd be willing to help me out by reviewing Draft: Fifth Wall Ventures for publication. It's a VC-firm focused on real estate with about $200m under management.

Although I am an experienced Wikipedia editor and always try my best to abide by the five pillars, in this case I have a conflict of interest (disclosed on the Talk page), so Wikipedia policy requires that all my work be reviewed by an independent editor before it's published. I'd be glad to do any additional work you think the article requires.

Thanks for considering this!

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Hi, I see you’re a participant in the WikiProject for Finance and Investment and are currently active on Wikipedia. There are some corrections and important updates needed in the article about Digital Currency Group, one of the major players in cryptocurrency. I’ve started a discussion here. I have a COI, as fully disclosed on the page. Given the nature of the topic I thought this might be of interest to you as a participant in the Finance and Investment WikiProject. Thanks very much for your time. CertifiedTurtle (talk) 23:10, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
