Combat Action Badge

Why in the world would Rumsfield create something for a female military policeman and not cover those of us in the thick of combat in the previous wars', Korea(so called conflict). Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.20.80.70 (talk) 18:53, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that combat veterans of previous wars should have been and should be recognized with a combat badge/ribbon/medal. I don't know if I agree that gender has anything to do with the matter though. - Atfyfe (talk) 04:29, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Modern philosophy

Your edit summary here [1] is rather unfathomable. Could you explain better the reason for your revert? I was swapping the links so that you can't get to philosophy, by creating a loop. Why was it a problem? Rcsprinter (natter) @ 11:14, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Theory of Art

Hi, and thank you for

cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history
, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

If you wish to start a new article on the theory of art please note the correct title would be Theory of art. There is no article there at the moment. Tassedethe (talk)

Hourglass device on the AFRM

Hello, Atfyfe. I noticed you created the original JPG images of the ribbons with hourglass devices (bronze, silver, gold) for the AFRM article, which can be seen here. If you have the opportunity and you're interested in spending the time doing it, would you mind making an image for the 40 year award? To complete the set, we'd need one showing a gold and bronze hourglass mounted on the ribbon next to each other, with gold on the left and bronze on the right. Any interest? Thanks, AzureCitizen (talk) 12:43, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pragmatism

I am getting the impression you did not quite understand me about the edit on the pragmatism article. When I wrote that the first sentence's purpose was to "open" the article I was referring to how the lead seaction is supposed to give a short overview of the topic, establishing what the article and topic is about (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section). As I've stated, the sentence you removed attempted to do exactly this, even if it executed the job poorly.

You appear to be knowledgeable of what pragmatism is, given how you seemingly know what it is not. As such - given that you're the one that deemed the previous definition to be nonsense and removed it - I'll ask of you to try create a new, better one. The lead section already states that pragmatism is a branch of philosophy and some characteristics of it, but beyond that, it does not state what pragmatism means. Please give it a try, for the sake of Wikipedia. Sky380 (talk) 15:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pluralism

Firstly it is not a "Terrible' entry, it fairly accurately follows the entry in the Oxford Companion to Philosophy. The essence of the problem is very simple. The ramifications of it extend over multiple articles and do not need to be partially included here. Secondly material like 'See the article on ... and make up your own mind' is unencyclopedic language. T----

WP:BRD, better to discuss the improvements you think should happen on the talk page. More than happy to co-operate in that. Other editors by the way (including me in the early days) have tried to find a way to channel Brews energy but sooner or later his refusal to ever compromise becomes problematic and people give up ----Snowded TALK 06:23, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply
]

The article on pluralism has a TERRIBLE lacking on any discussion on modes of being. Which is exactly the lacking that Brews is responding to. I don't like a good amount of his additions, but I have a much bigger problem with the utter failure in this entry that he is trying to correct. It is good to know about problem with him on other articles, but he is entirely correct about the neglectful failures on this entry. I cannot devote much time to this debate, but if you want my support then you need to be more open to someone (i.e. Brews) who is trying to fix a problem with this entry. The entry should CLEARLY deal with ontological category differences/debates between things like numbers/fictional objects/atoms/space/time/etc. and the fact that the entry doesn't is why I call the entry 'Terrible' (which it is). - Atfyfe (talk) 06:30, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Agree on that section, the problem is he starts well, but that adds in large amount of material without thinking. I started off with Brews with a very similar attitude to you. However what then happened is that he will not compromise on anything - witness the multiple RfCs and forum shopping on policy. Given you are happy to be involved in this I am making a series of small changes, each of which is explained in the edit summary. I suspect the response will be to reinstate all of his material (included the extended quotations) but I could be wrong ----Snowded TALK 08:22, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You should also note one other experienced editor (on philosophy pages) is also involved, see here ----Snowded TALK 08:50, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I had to revert the comment as it fell under

WP:OUTING by revealing the identity of an editor. It is a bit borderline, so I removed the comment rather than use revision deletion, but it seems better given the privacy policy to focus on fixing the problems rather than identifying the user. Working with conflicts of interest is always tricky on these grounds, as we need to find a balance between outing and addressing the issue, but in the end outing is against policy, and COI editing isn't. - Bilby (talk) 06:41, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I declined to delete that article because I think it has potential. For the moment, I've redirected it to 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) as it had no references at all. Maybe I can work with you to find some references and work the article up -- or maybe merge it into the Military Horseman Identification Badge article you just created? Either way, happy to help a pitiful Army dog such as yourself. ;) Semper fi, A Traintalk 12:52, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
