Kenosis, I want to let you know I have just posted a ] of my position on the Carter question, and answers your last question to me about why I brought up Donna Edwards in discussion. In fact, the more research I did, the more I became convinced that Carter was probably misquoted, and the "racism" charge is a serious BLP issue.

:::Well, your interpretation happens to be totally incorrect. The "believe it or not" in the edit summary was referring to the unusual practice&mdash;by the authors of the 1992 book from which the passage is quoted&mdash;of capitalizing "antifederalism" and thereby implying that it's a proper noun-- which by today's basic grammatical rules it is not. It's a common noun that describes a political position, not a formal organization, and capitalizing it is at the very least an obsolete rendering of the word. In other words, I believe the authors are mistaken in capitalizing the word, having written the book in the 1990s, not the 1790s or 1890s when such a use of capitalization might have been regarded as more acceptable than it is today. The lack of a hyphen is a separate issue of course, and it can be rendered either way with equal legitimacy, the unhyphenated form being gradually replaced with more and more instances of the hyphenated form AFAICT. However, being as it was in a quotation, I returned it to the way the authors had it. So believe it or not, that's what the "believe it or not" was referring-- to the choice of the authors which I found unusual and very arguably obsolete. ... ] (]) 02:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

:Thanks, SB, especially considering the great deal of work you've put in there yourself. Though, I imagine there's still some work to do there. Among other things, I think the Virginia Declaration of Rights will need to be mentioned again (it was removed as part of the "state ratification debate" section) since it is generally viewed as a precedent to the Bill of Rights. Hopefully it will not then open the door to become a forum for POVs about every other arguable precedent to the Second. In general, I agree it's improved overall, which I attribute mostly to an interactive, cooperative effort. ... ] (]) 03:19, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

==Improvements at ]==
I believe you feel that the GW article (and perhaps that entire suite of articles) reads something like an advertisement.

I have a concern that there is one way to keep these articles the same and many ways to make improvements. This results in '''a)''' division of effort and '''b)''' large numbers of editors abandoning the effort.

Some editors are prepared to show their support or opposition to movement in specific directions, at a chart on my TalkPage . "Reads like an advertisement" is on there. Please consider adding your name to that section and any other parts you think important. ] (]) 17:06, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

==Unsolicited advice==
1. LHvU screwed up. 2. His pride won't allow him to admit it. 3. The current policy on wheel warring gives a first-mover advantage. 4. Block logs are almost never expunged, except in cases of severe misconduct by the admin. A simple bad block isn't enough. 5. Lots of people have been blocked. A single bad block is not a huge deal, though I'm sure it must be frustrating. 6. In short, you're screwed. Continuing to raise the issue will only irritate people. Therefore your most advantageous course from here is simply to move on.

Consider or ignore this unsolicited advice as you see fit. ] (]) 11:12, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

:OK, thanks SBHB. Of course, somewhat implicit in you say here is that if I choose to specify directly relevant facts rather than rely on someone else's slanted summary of "who-did-what-and-for-what-reason", and upon an erroneous interpretation of what the "rules of encounter" were under those circumstances, then things will somehow become worse because it "will irritate people". Irrespective of any hypothetical "most advantageous course", I chose to present a reasonable documentation of the relevant facts leading up to the erroneous block, and an easygoing request for the administrative community to consider a method of expunging or officially noting the block as erroneous in the log itself, which is where we look for material relating to a users' prior sanctions. If this is irritating to anyone, then in my estimation the problem (if there is an additional problem from speaking up about it) lies not with shedding light on the facts, but rather on those who either disagree with the facts presented, or disagree with some sort of judgment towards which those facts might tend to lend themselves. A block is, in practical terms, a judgment upon a user. And if an erroneous block can't at least be officially noted in the block log, quite possibly there's something presently missing in the WP administrative equation which if effectively dealt with in the future would tend to benefit the project as a whole. At least that's my take on it. Thanks for the advice. ... ] (]) 04:31, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
