In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, look at our approval by the Chapters Committee, develop ideas for chapter projects at museums and libraries throughout our region, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the November meeting's minutes and the December mini-meetup's minutes).
We'll make preparations for our exciting museum photography Wikipedia Loves Art! February bonanza (on Flickr, on Facebook) with Shelley from the Brooklyn Museum and Alex from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
We'll also be collecting folks to join our little Wikipedia Takes the Subway adventure which will be held the day after the meeting.

I do have to ask, are you really an inclusionist as the template tag on your user page states? I have met a hell of a lot of so called "inclusionists" who seem more intent on deleting/merging material than saving it...
A much more important question is:
- Are there any other studies like this that you are aware of?
BTW, you may be interested in joining Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron
Thanks for your incredible contributions.
- You pass my preliminary initial test for being an editor who supports inclusionism.

Faux Painting edit
I really RESENT you editing out links to photos of my marbling work on the Faux Painting page. That was no more spamming than the FAUX LIKE A PRO entries, and the work is of extreme quality. I';m not after clients but felt it was reasonable to show a variety of high quality marbling.
I remember bacl 25 years ago, when decorative painters were a community. How petty and small-minded of you.

Crack City discussion
Hi -- You raise an interesting question about the list of places, in addition to Washington Heights, that were denigrated with the epithet "crack city" in the 1990s.
The reason I added the list was to point out that Washington Heights wasn't the only spot in Manhattan that had been given that name. I expanded the list so that readers can learn that plenty of other places -- Long Island, New Jersey, California, even England -- had crack problems too.
Here's another example. If someone posted that the 1 train is terrible because it's crowded at rush hour and on weekends and you can't understand the announcements half the time, it wouldn't be wrong, but it would be a selective fact because *all* subway trains are crowded at rush hour and many of them have poor p.a. systems. Fleshing out the facts makes it clear to those who don't ride NYC subways that the problem is widespread -- not limited to any one train line. And it keeps you from incorrectly thinking that the 1 train is worse than others in this regard.
Likewise, saying that Washington Heights was Crack City in the 1990s is true, but so were many other places. To limit the readers' information is unfair not only to the readers (they should be able to see all relevant facts), but also to the subject of the article (Washington Heights, in this case).
Adding information, not reducing it, makes WP valuable. The crime wave of the 1990s was a national phenomenon; it wasn't limited to one neighborhood in Upper Manhattan. Why prevent readers from finding out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nbaz34 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
GenJones "consortium"
Apologies for the delay in responding.
I don't think there is a Gen Jones consortium. I think that there's one guy using sock puppets trying to use Wikipedia to pursue his own personal interests. Regardless, my experience with him/them was nothing short of harassment.
Sock puppeting of GenJones does does not appear to be limited to Wikipedia; to pull just one of a number of links, here's a guy on HuffingtonPost who never posts anything unless it's related to GenJones:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/users/profile/JamesRandolph?action=comments
Therefore, I'm opposed to any mention of Gen Jones in any of the post-WWII generational pages that gives credibility to this as an academic term.
I would go so far as to only keep a GenJones page if it includes an analysis of whether sock puppets have been used historically, as well as discussion about the relative lack of use of the GenJones term in the 2008 Presidential election, where one would have expected it to be used frequently if the concept had standing in the wider community.

- Hi there, sorry about my delay as well, I somehow missed your note on my talk page.

Reply
I reply to you here because I am finding it difficult to place comments on the conversion therapy talk page.
Your comments regarding criticism of ex-gay treatment are not very clear. Could you please explain exactly what you meant by saying that "The problem with the criticism that was being used focused on the impropriety of a small group"? The fact that "Examples of impropriety are universal" is irrelevant. If there is a risk of sexual exploitation or abuse in other kinds of therapy, then articles about those kinds of therapy should have information to that effect. There is no justification for removing these facts from the conversion therapy article - however inconvenient and embarrassing some may find them. With regard to your comment, "It is appropriate to explain that supporters of ex-gay ministry usually do not define there mission as "conversion therapy" from homosexual to heterosexual", I reply that the article is concerned with ex-gay ministry only as form of conversion therapy. Born Gay (talk) 23:24, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
- When the criticism you choose to add uses the term "suspect testimonials", many readers will interpret the edit as POV or the source as dubious WP:RS. I see that you have improved the language by including Halderman's name, but it would be nice to know who this guy is and why we should trust his intemperate opinion. I also took issue with the conclusion "...data were unconvincing, founded on a poorly described treatment program that used ill-defined constructs." This is a conclusion that could be deduced from any reader, so to tack it onto the end of the paragraph seemed unnecessary and agenda pushing. Your new edit acknowledging Halderman is better, but I still don't know why I should trust him any more that any other motivated activist.
- Your original source, Gonsiorek and Weinrich, seem to have a history of publishing titles about gays and public policy, like Sexual Landscapes: Why We Are What We Are, Why We Love Whom We Love. This is not necessarily a problem, but their stance should be noted in article copy and their essay should not be the only opinion allowed into the article.
- Just because the Yarhouse study rejects the term "conversion therapy", does not mean it is not the same thing as defined by this article. In the past few days, many editors have noted the vague terms "conversion therapy", "reparative therapy" and "ex-gay" and how they are used differently by different organizations depending on the agenda. If ex-gay ministry has an accepted definition that extends outside conversion therapy, we cannot have a paragraph as limited as you suggest. It is lying. Activist editors some time ago equated reparative therapywith conversion therapy. Just follow the link and see for yourself. As long as WP links the two, our sources should as well. I support separating a reparative therapy section as I think there are some distinct differences, notably patient willingness and the lack of any pharmaceutical or physical component.
- I admit, I don't follow your objection to the inclusion of Yardhouse. The Yardhouse study isn't really a big "win" for ex-gay supporters. If you think about the subset... a group of very motivated, religious homosexuals with a rate of 15% conversion to a "complicated" heterosexuality... well, that's a pretty slim "success" rate.
- This may surprise you, but I'm not some huge supporter of conversion therapy or ex-gay ministry. What I am a supporter of is a useful, intelligent Wikipedia unencumbered by agenda and ideology. Sadly, there is a very strong, very motivated minority of editors who want to define certain articles and topics, claiming that their worldview is the "right" worldview. If I incorrectly assumed you among their number, I apologize. But then I would encourage you see the excellent essay Wikipedia:Writing for the opponent and the classic Wikipedia:Assume good faith.--Knulclunk (talk) 02:56, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- "Suspect testimonials" is what Haldeman says. I don't think anyone can be held accountable for how readers might interpret the article; some people might interpret anything in any fashion. I have no problem with identifying who Haldeman is or what his qualifications are, if that is done in a neutral way. Including his conclusion is necessary if we are going to represent his views in an accurate way; again, I wouldn't place any confidence in what "any" reader would conclude. The "ill-defined constructs" part could not necessarily be deduced from the rest of the paragraph. Who you choose to trust is entirely your affair, but we can't ignore a reliable source because we may not like or agree with its author. You admit that the Yarhouse study says it is not about conversion therapy, but imply that it is the "same thing as defined by this article." The article does not define conversion therapy at all; it presents the multiple definitions that exist in reliable sources. I simply don't understand what you mean by saying that "If ex-gay ministry has an accepted definition that extends outside conversion therapy, we cannot have a paragraph as limited as you suggest." Ex-gay ministries are only relevant in an article on conversion therapy to the extent that sources regard them as conversion therapy, as Haldeman does, but Yarhouse does not. BG 06:34, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with you that turning reparative therapy into a separate article from conversion therapy, rather than simply a redirect to it, would be a good idea, but it would be difficult to do that, and I don't regard it as a high priority. We need to get disputes over the conversion therapy article sorted out before addressing reparative therapy as a separate article. BG 06:37, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Stopping by as a saw you attempt to save a file from deletion by adding a FUR.

Eskimo Pie question
I notice that you did a couple of revisions on the Eskimo Pie article. I'm wondering about something, and I'm not sure how to raise the issue. The article states, "In 1921, he filed for a patent, and secured an agreement with local chocolate producer Russell C. Stover to mass-produce them under the new trademarked name "Eskimo Pie" (a name suggested by Mrs. Stover." I question whether or not the name was suggested by Mrs. Stover. My curiosity was aroused because the reason I looked up the article was to decide whether or not to trash a 40-year old handout about the origin of the name that a local ice cream company (a wholesaler) used to give away to retailers who sold the product. (No, there is no attribution in the handout.) That article states, "After several months of selling the product in the Iowa area, they decided the ice cream bar should have a more appealing name. One evening after dining with some friends, Mr. Nelson and his partner took the dictionary from the shelf and began to list all the words that were applicable to "cold". Some of the listings were frigid, frozen, chilly, zero, eskimo[sic], igloo, and snowman. After much deliberation everyone felt the word "ESKIMO" was the most appropriate and defined coldness."
There do exist numerous references to the name being suggested by Russell Stover's wife, Clara, but there is a 1922 book available free via Google ebooks, which is an interview with the advertising manager of Russell Stover, J.E. Finneran, at http://books.google.com/books?id=s0UjAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA3-PA12&lpg=RA3-PA12&dq=name+eskimo+pie+nelson+and+friends&source=bl&ots=D28cLSWoXX&sig=x94GAD4G-gCaX3ri5vxoThjUqVU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cU_-UKnwKMTC2QW9zoGQCg&ved=0CDkQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=name%20eskimo%20pie%20nelson%20and%20friends&f=false, and he makes no mention of Mrs. Stover: "The name "Eskimo Pie" was coined by Mr. Stover himself, but before he settled upon this name as final, he had five hundred or more names submitted by friends and various interested parties, that he might consider them."
I find it unlikely that the sales manager of Stover's company would fail to mention that Mrs. Stover had originated the name if she had done so. The article at http://amhistory.si.edu/archives/d8553.htm states only, "It was decided the name would change from Nelson's "I-Scream Bar" to "Eskimo Pie"" [in 1921]. That exact sentence appears in other places as well. Funding Universe, in its history of the Eskimo Pie Corporation, states only, "Stover has been credited with changing the name of the novelty to the now-famous Eskimo Pie." (http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/eskimo-pie-corporation-history/).
Do you have any references that would clarify the origin of the name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeorgeButel (talk • contribs) 09:25, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- I am uncertain about where the source for Mrs. Stover originated. If you don't see it in the attached references, you can mark it citation needed. If you have sources for a different origin of the name, you should put them in the article. If someone fails to provide a citation for Mrs. Stover creating the name and you have checked the articles references, feel free to remove it. Knulclunk (talk) 16:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
