CJ-- You reverted my small addition to the overview in Human Population saying "weasel statement, unsourced." I can source it, but... am I still a weasel? I don't understand the animal reference. I only wanted to point out the UN projections are just that, projections, sans limits. Bystrc ( talk) 22:46, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the link to the article from Chris Hedges. I read his column every week. About 4 years ago, when I have first discovered his column in TruthDig, I sat down and read the entire archive of all his weekly columns in TD, going back to 2007 ...
The WP article contains a link to the book 'Brave New World Revisited' by Aldus Huxley. You can read the book freely online. I highly recommend it. Ijon Tichy ( talk) 17:40, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Happy Wikibirthday to you. Happy Wikibirthday to you. Happy Wikibirthday, dear C.J. Griffin, Happy Wikibirthday to you! – S. Rich ( talk) 15:22, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Starting yesterday I have been unable to log into my account on my smart phone. I'm not sure what is going on, if it is the phone or someone screwing with my account here, but it bounces me to various IP addresses I do not recognize, some of which have been blocked in the recent months and years. I'm putting this here as a disclaimer: if my account is hijacked and someone starts using it for vandalism or some other nefarious purpose, It is not me!-- C.J. Griffin ( talk) 13:30, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for your most recent edit (Undid revision 777317974 by Charlesjurden)
I think it would be helpful to explain WHY you undid the revision, since I am guessing that "Charlesjurden" did not notice that he was editing the text of a linked book, rather than content of the Wiki article. (Can one offer an explanation on an undo?) I am somewhat new to Wikipedia myself, and I had to look hard to find where in the article that edit took place. Thanks!! -- Avatar317 ( talk) 01:32, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
I'm watching as our respective edits on the same subject (Holodomor "genocide") are being moved about, but I'm not sure of what's going on. My initial edit was removed by Darkness Shines as a "copyright violation", but then my edit seems to have reappeared under your care a short time later. Since it was a relatively simply edit, I'm not sure what all the drama is about. Can you enlighten me? Santamoly ( talk) 19:12, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly
reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at
Veganism. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "
edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the
normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a
consensus on the
talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Alexbrn ( talk) 13:36, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed
maintenance templates from Wikipedia. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Please see
Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been
reverted. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the

Hey, how 'ya doin'?
I have a favor or two to ask...
You placed a couple tags on Human impact on the environment. A lot of material was added, and it would help a great deal to zero in on the particular facts that raised your concern.
If it wouldn't be any trouble, please point out on the article's talk page which statements struck you as original research.
I'm in the process of tracking down supporting references, and it would also be good to know if they address your concerns regarding verification. If you have time, please give them a look, and let me know on the article's talk page if they support the statements to your satisfaction.
I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely, The Transhumanist 19:18, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
After digging a bit, it became apparent that there is a vast amount of research on these topics (role of population, defaunation). As I find time, I may add more to these sections. So far...
I've removed the material you objected to above, and have replaced it with citation-supported statements. Please check it and see if this is sufficient for your removal of the tags. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 23:09, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
What was the reason for you to undo my edits on the Great Divergence page? What link said did not match was shown on the article. Next time would you please give a reason

I removed the material because although it was sourced, it was WP:PRIMARY sourced, generally to affiliated or self-published sources, most of which are also not reliable. The trifecta of sourcing are: reliable, independent, secondary. These failed at least two and usually all three. If you can find secondary sources, please feel free, but quoting racist views by reference to racist statements on racist websites is poor practice. We should instead refer to secondary sources that describe these racist views and give proper context for their significance and influence. Guy ( Help!) 15:45, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Dear Griffin. This is just to salute your indispensable contributions in Holocene extinction and other articles. Thanks for the untiring work. Keep rocking. Rasnaboy ( talk) 11:21, 28 January 2018 (UTC) |
Hi C.J. Griffin. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! TonyBallioni ( talk) 17:18, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
I want to make sure that you are aware that that page is subject to 1RR, because you made two reverts there. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 00:05, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Anti-communism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Agrarian ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 08:59, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
I understand why you reverted the redirect to the Holocene extinction article: perhaps there is some valuable information in the QEE article despite its low quality. But the previous edits were correct. None of the animals I removed from the list survived past 500,000 years ago, most died out millions of years ago. Their extinctions did not happen during the QEE as described in the article. Why revert those edits? Dogshu ( talk) 13:36, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
He mentions the "Lormier corrections", that is our clue.
I went to Lormier p. 134 [1]. put his population numbers on an Excel spreadsheet. For the discrepancy use 5.7 million famine plus 1.4 million repression deaths and bingo you tie out to the ADK ending balance of 168.525 million on 1/1/1939. This is OR not for Wikipedia but it helps us understand what the academic crew is doing.-- Woogie10w ( talk) 17:38, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to split Economic inequality. According to this link the article is 202 kB and WP:SIZESPLIT suggests an article be split after 40 kB. Also, on the top of the page is a banner that is two years old suggesting the article should be split.
Since I am new, I would like to build a consensus first, rather than WP:BRD. To that end, I put a post on Talk:Economic_inequality and am contacting everyone who has edited the page in the past month.
Thanks for your time and please come down to discuss! Seahawk01 ( talk) 01:22, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
I understand the idea you are trying to convey by this edit, but I think the whole concept is flawed. The whole section presents a situation as a discussion between the authors who see common causes and country experts who emphasize a contribution of local factors and put these events in historical context. Instead, we need to explain the causes of mass killings in each three country (from the viewpoint of country experts), and then, in a separate subsection, explain the theories of those who see communist ideology etc a primary cause, and who see significant commonality (and differences). -- Paul Siebert ( talk) 01:23, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
You have removed my request for better sourcing regarding the challenges to neoloberalism post-2008. I believe that we could still find better sources from better(-known) economists than the current reference (Piketty springs to mind, but the whole 2008–09 Keynesian resurgence would be relevant, I think.
Happy to discuss further. El clemente ( talk) 14:03, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi C.J. Griffin, just wanted to see if you would like to work together to fix up the page Economic inequality. I'm contacting you since you have actively edited it in the past month. I'm willing to rewrite sections to try to shorten and sharpen it, but I feel kind of hopeless doing it by myself. If you reply here or on the Talk page, please ping me.
