Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Simmons (attorney), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yaz. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Michael
I didn't catch your ping of me until after the Lindsay Parkhurst debate ended. A few comments. My personal view is that WP should be including biographies of any and all candidates for high office in the US and around the world. I share your sentiment that WP policy has the real world effect of skewing elections in favor of incumbents, which is a negative social value. However, after bashing my head against the wall in favor of this perspective for a year or two at AfD, I have come to accept that this is a small minority view and that consensus is strongly in the other direction. Here is the rationale for the consensus view, which I have gradually come to accept:
(1) Wikipedia's purpose is not to right great social wrongs, it is to provide a comprehensive, neutrally written encyclopedia. (2) Politicians are among the most flagrant violators of WP's neutrality standards, always eager to puff up their biographies and to turn them into political advertising. These are non-neutral and ultimately more detrimental to our purpose of public education than would be NOT hosting such biased fluff. (3) Political campaigns generate emotional outpourings and when you put red ants and black ants into a bucket and shake it, as I discovered when I was 5 years old, they tend to fight to the death. It takes more volunteer time and energy than it is worth to mediate such intractable disputes. (4) Political campaigns are current events. True history tells the story of what happened and why, it does not summarize and update current events on a daily basis. While trending popular culture and contemporary affairs are important and can be written encyclopedically, they are ultimately tangential to our mission of providing encyclopedic coverage to people, places, ideas, and events.
That pretty much summarizes it. In short, WP is not designed to equalize the electoral process, nor to promote and fluff candidates for office, it is to provide lasting, encyclopedic coverage of biographies and events. Campaign BS only gets in the way of the mission. Therefore, we put up a high bar for coverage of all politicians, requiring election to high office or evidence of notability outside the world of politics for inclusion. Not the way I personally would have structured things, but it is the consensus of the big majority and I urge you to think about the merits of the approach and trust you will eventually come around to the logic of the position. Best regards, —Tim //// Carrite (talk) 17:57, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- It makes sense - I trust the consensus after reviewing the policy, your comment here, and the page deletions. Will continue working in good faith. I do appreciate you taking the time to write. Thanks! --Michael Powerhouse (talk) 18:32, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Jillian Bernas

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 Jillian Bernas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 removed 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.

Ways to improve Responsible Budget Coalition
Hi, I'm Neonorange. Michael Powerhouse, thanks for creating Responsible Budget Coalition!

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Dennis Prager.

Help me!

Please help me with: I was wondering if there was a mechanism beyond the watchlist, where I could monitor or be notified whenever text I add to an article is changed or deleted. And not just reverted officially; but actually changed in any way. It seems like some editors have the ability to quickly reappear after I've modified text that they have written. Wondering how they do that. Any tools?
Michael Powerhouse (talk) 23:00, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
- If it's about a specific article, you can set up an RSS feed to get notified of changes. See WP:Syndication. You can also check your contributions to see if your edits to an article are still the most current ones. That's rather limited in scope, though. There's no tool on Wikipedia that will distinguish between changes to what you have written and changes to the rest of the article beyond the notification when one of your edits is reverted. Huon (talk) 23:46, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) There is also e-mail notifications. In the preferences you can set it so you receive e-mails when pages are changed. Primefac (talk) 23:47, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Jytdog (talk) 22:17, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Jytdog: Thank you - I appreciate your advice. Is there a particular article you had in mind that I added a source that didn't meet these guidelines? --Michael Powerhouse (talk) 15:28, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply... this reversion I made of one of your edits, for one.... Jytdog (talk) 18:29, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
