Hi! I noted that you deleted the note I added to Three Wise Monkeys suggesting a possible origin of the original Chinese maxim in Hebrew literature and documenting a plausible mechanism for its migration into China. Can you explain your motive for this deletion? With the earliest referenced Chinese instance of the maxim in the 8th century, and both Christian and Jewish presence documented in China well before that, it seems to me that this hypothesis is entirely plausible. Isaiah's form of the saying aligns extremely well with the iconography of the carving on the stable at Tosho-Gu in Nikko:
Isa 33:15 that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
The last two fit perfectly; the first is not represented on the shrine, but is reflected in the four-clause version of the underlying maxim cited in the article.
Capturing possible cross-cultural linkages like this that might not be noted by any single author is, it seems to me, one of the great strengths of Wikipedia. It is a fact that similar sayings circulated in the Levant and in China, and linkages between the two areas in the correct chronological sequence (between the origin of Isaiah's version, and the first appearance of the Chinese version) are well documented. Can you explain why you didn't want to let stand a note calling readers' attention to the possibility of a connection? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Van Parunak ( talk • contribs) 17:30, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
I don't object to the article being moved to the later name - but it would have been good if you had asked for opinions first. Never mind - we'll see if anyone else objects. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 09:27, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your very thoughtful reply. After posting my comment, I noted the somewhat cryptic reference to "original research", and guessed that this might be the problem. I agree with the intent of the policy, though I need to get calibrated on what constitutes "original research." I should have thought that citing a primary source that aligns verbally with what is being discussed in an article would be within bounds--but as a newbie, I'm happy to be corrected!
Perhaps you can give guidance on how to proceed. In terms of reliable sources, I think I qualify (PhD from Harvard in Near Eastern Languages and Literatures with specialization in the Old Testament, 1977). The observation in question is so specific that I doubt I could find a journal interested in it (though if you can suggest one, I'll write it up). But the idea occurred to me in the course of an ongoing exposition of Isaiah in which I'm involved, and which is publicly available on-line ( http://www.cyber-chapel.org/sermons/isaiah/index.html; the observation in question appears in footnote 6 on p. 8 of http://www.cyber-chapel.org/sermons/isaiah/notes/Isaiah33.pdf . Is such a reference sufficient to serve as a citation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Van Parunak ( talk • contribs) 14:57, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
In case you see this, I apologise for giving offence. We're both working hard to improve this encyclopedia; in fact my edit count is above yours. I see I need to work on communicating better if I'm still giving the impression that I'm a newbie or vanity editor.
You wrote that you were not sure what I was implying about you. I only meant that we would both be better off improving articles than trading remarks. Most of your edits to the article in question are justified and I did not attempt to revert them. Anyway, thanks for forcing me to track down a demonstrable WP:RS. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:42, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
hi. the luis palau template refers to the fact that the article portrays him as a liberal out-of-the-box preacher, which is debatable, and that he has been involved in some controversies that are not even mentioned. the other one, refers to only one section which seems to always give the last word to the foundation side.-- camr nag 00:36, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I saw where you've done some editing to this article. I've tried to cut it down some, mainly to remove the peacock terms and other brochure-like marketing material. I'm also concerned that much of the recently added material was copied straight from a book and not re-worded to avoid copyright issues. I've taken a stab at cleaning it up some, but would appreciate another set of eyes. Thanks! TN X Man 13:44, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
You're welcome, and yes you have! By the way I should not have implied that you necessarily have a conflict of interest (although some previous single-purpose accounts editing that article alone did give that impression). - Fayenatic (talk) 22:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I am puzzled by your merge of this article with Play Therapy. They are not remotely the same thing. Should this not be discussed first? Fainites barley scribs 21:10, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
As the "I added" link above shows, I did add citations and links for Theraplay when I merged it, although I didn't check every part of what I merged. If you know better, feel free to undo or edit what I've done to Theraplay or both pages; I shan't revert you. If my attempt to be WP:BOLD results in you or other editors changing a long-unsatisfactory article into a decent one, I shall be pleased to have played some part in prompting the improvement! - Fayenatic (talk) 16:29, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
I would agree that Theraplay, like any "proprietary" treatment, should be discussed separately from a general approach. If it doesn't go into a separate article, it should be set off in its own section, so it' s clear to readers that these are not simply synonyms. In this case, by the way, it would probably be wise to look at ways play therapy is used by psychologists and how those compare to its use by OTs, special education providers, etc. Also, it would be good to discuss "Floortime" (which looks much like play therapy at first glance) and note what the differences are.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I'm replying to your message on my talk page. I can't find any explicit policy that states that an infobox heading or opening line should not link to the constituents parts of the person's name (surname, given name, etc.). My main reasons for delinking were as follows. (1) In the vast majority of biographical articles I've read, the parts of subject's name are not linked in the first line or infobox heading. In the extremely rare exception, it's basically been a case of intentional overlinking by vandals. Sometime an explanatory sentence within the article links to the name, as in an article for an individual politician that notes that he belongs to Kennedy political family with a link to an article about that family. (2) The discussion in Wikipedia:Manual of Style (linking) about overlinking and not linking to commonly understood terms. I've been fixing links to disambiguation pages and didn't find any reason it would be particularly helpful to readers to link to the disambiguation page for the name Philip. Elsewhere in the article, it's noted that his surname is Zhang. If you think there's significant value to readers in linking to the surname Zhang, then I don't anticipate contesting your decision. You appear to be versed in Chinese culture than me, so you may know if it's helpful to readers to get that info about his surname. It's atypical to link infobox titles, but you can exercise you're judgment about where to put that link. -- JamesAM ( talk) 15:36, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I removed the notability tag from Laila (musician). This artist, I believe, is notable, though she is a one-hit wonder as far as I know. She had a charted hit in 1998 that was widely played on urban contemporary and contemporary hit radio stations and on countdown shows around that time, and still is played every now and then. I placed the expert tag here because online sources, while they do exist, are hard to find, and I believe most of the sources that do exist can be found offline. It would be helpful if someone could find out exactly where her one album and song charted and information on her personal life. Shaliya waya ( talk) 02:30, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fayenatic.
I do not pass word of a mouth or gossips to wikipedia, I added ACCA and other appropriate institutions to "Chartered Accountant" section based on the reports by UK Professional Oversight Board. Report clearly indicates that there are more than 3 Chartered Accounting Bodies in UK (please see here: http://www.frc.org.uk/pob/publications/pub2013.html ). If someone is a member of a Chartered Accontancy Body - that person is a chartered account. Please re-edit your post and correct additions I had made.

Mr. Fayenatic, I import Sunlight Household Soap and Red Lifebuoy Soap into the UK for distibution in the UK, Ireland and Europe. All I put on the Wikipedia sites for these products is my web sites. I don't advertise and say "use this, its the best" or anything like that, i just put links. All I put on Wikipedia is information. There are many other companies names and web sites on the Sunlight and Lifebuoy pages of Wikipedia. I have so many customers who have been looking for Sunlight and Lifebuoy Soap who thank me for finding out about me through Wikipedia. Surely this is not such a big problem in light of so many other corrections that are needed on the pages of Wikipedia. So can these links stay please.

Fayenatic - many thanks for the welcome message. I am trying to get the feel of Wikipedia by doing some basic edits to the history section of company pages; you may have noticed that so far they are all in the construction industry. I have noticed that many entries are written without reference to mainstream published work. I have looked at the style guide and that seems broadly in line with such standards as Hart's Rules and the Economist Style Guide. The technical requirements of inputting seem very complicated at this stage but I think I have now mastered links and references. Next stop is talking to people so I hope this message has been done in the correct manner. Regards Bebington ( talk) 12:47, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Noticed you changed PricewaterhouseCoopers to PwC. I'm not sure if that is the right move as "PwC" is really only a branding and not the official legal name of the network or member firms.

Hiya--I have a comment about the edits to Paul Kemsley's page. I randomly know a lot about Paul Kemsley and have a couple suggestions to the revisions for what is written. I may not be doing them correctly because I'm new to the whole thing so if you have any suggestions, would welcome the advice. He actually won the lawsuit against Spreadex and Green never offered to lend him money--that's just heresay. I don't have formal sources, hope that's not a problem.
"However, in September 2008 he placed a series of large bets that doomed US bank Lehman Brothers would recover, and in May 2009 the spread betting company Spreadex took legal action against him, claiming that he was liable to pay a margin call of £2 million. His friend Green was reported as offering to lend him the money to meet the call.[6]" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluegreen5 ( talk • contribs) 15:05, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.
