1419:. I took a look at the article and most closely examined the section on the Vigano letter since that's what I am most familiar with. First of all, why is it called a "Rift statement?" I don't understand what that means. Secondly, Vigano alleged that Benedict XVI placed some sort of sanctions or informal restrictions on McCarrick. The article doesn't say that, and I think it could do with a little bit more background there, maybe a sentence or less, just making clear that Benedict authorized the restrictions and Francis did not enforce them. Finally, the article says that "Towey characterized the Viganò allegations as baseless, calculated to harm the reputation of the pope, and founded upon a flawed understanding of religious conservatism." Everything after "as" reads like a quote. If it is a direct quote or contains actual language that he made us of, it obviously needs quotation marks. If it isn't, I think it would be best to replace some or all of that with specific words or phrases that he used in order to give the reader the best impression. I'd also like to hear if there were any supportive reactions to his statement, and if you can include direct quotes from people either supporting or criticizing his letter, that would be very good. 1679:, I did not mean to imply with the revert that your edits to the article were not of value. Quite the contrary. Over the past week or so, you have made probably dozens of edits to the article. This is the first one that I had any problem with at all. I looked over some of the other ones and I found all of them to be improvements. In numerous cases, I didn't check your edits at all because, having interacted with you before, I trusted that they would be beneficial. In this case, I simply found that the copyediting left the content slightly worse off than before. I absolutely want you to continue your edits to the Adams article because it is clear that they have made it better. One edit that I found slightly problematic out of probably the 30 or 40 that you have made over the past month is really no big deal. And for the record, the policy that you linked to says that the revert can be used against good-faith edits as long as their is a detailed summary and careful consideration. But to the point, your edits to the article have had significant value. If they are to cease, I don't want this to be the cause of it. 876:, thank you for the note. I deeply appreciate it, especially after being subjected to an unprovoked attack on my editing at the article talk page despite all my hard work. Anyway, I nominated Adams for FAC yesterday and am receiving a lot of complaints about the length. I don't entirely agree with them, but the fact is that I'm going to have to shorten the article in order to have it pass the review. I'm afraid the "Conservatism" section you added about a week or so ago might have to go. In trying to shorten the article to meet the demands of the reviewers, I think it's best to retain the more substantive analysis of Adams's political writings and let that speak for itself and keep quotations from historians to a minimum. I do like the part about "ordered liberty" and am in favor of moving an abbreviated version of that into the "Accusations of monarchism" section. It could do well to counterbalance the accusations that he was a monarchist by stressing a more moderate theme of both republican liberty and order. I just thought I'd let you know and receive your input. 2073:. This is incorrect. Jackson launched an invasion of Spanish Florida in 1818 without official authorization, which was highly controversial and caused a diplomatic dispute with Spain. In a meeting of Monroe's cabinet, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams supported Jackson's cause. Secretary of War Calhoun advocated that he be censured. Jackson however was led to believe that Treasury Secretary Crawford, one of three men whom he ran against for president in 1824, was the one who advocated censure. He and Calhoun meanwhile became allies, and Calhoun was elected as his vice president in 1828. Jackson didn't discover the truth until he became president, which was just one of many factors that led to their relationship being destroyed. I've gone ahead and changed this because I don't want people reading the article to get the wrong impression. There's more information on this elsewhere in the Calhoun article as well as in 2644:, I only wish that you or PluniaZ directed me there earlier. I had looked at Hyerbolick's talk page before in response to accusations made by PluniaZ. But not seeing much there and not bothering to check the history, I didn't pay any attention to it. Examining the history demonstrates that Epi has a history of notifying this specific user of discussions, and the fact that they always seem to agree does indicate that he is probably doing it to influence the outcome. Hyper is probably in on it or else they wouldn't keep blanking their page. I think that this fits the definition of spamming as described in the canvassing article. I'll hold off on saying this at the talk page, but I now agree with discounting Hyerbolick's vote. I still favor keeping Epi's because he came here on his own. I'll also go ahead and post notifications at the Catholicism and Biography Wikiproject pages. Pinging 2956:, other editors have weighed in, but none of them have voted on the current version of the paragraphs. In the last RfC, only PluniaZ and I voted. PluniaZ even argued that the only other editor to make an official vote in the RfC prior to this one should have his vote discounted on the basis of some misconduct on his part. While Manannan67 has weighed in, he hasn't voted in either of the last two RfCs and seems to have refrained from taking any definitive positions lately. I've tried DRN previously. We have had three RfCs at this point. I'm not up for a fourth one. 3O was just my latest failed attempt to find a resolution to this disagreement. Oh, and my comments to Matglot were not personal attacks. That editor made three comments on the talk page, and I gave my honest opinion that they weren't helpful, which is hardly exceptionally strong language. 3092:- any statements by any of these people needs to be taken with more than a teaspoon of salt. They all have their underlying interests As to the media: Oftentimes a purported news site will print a story from the AP or another service virtually verbatim. A google search however, shows a fascinating difference in how various outlets caption their headlines demonstrating their own editorial spin. The institutional bias is there. If you cannot see it, look again. CNA falls far short of CNS. National Catholic Register and National Catholic Reporter are at opposite ends of the spectrum. LATimes is better than NY. Crux is a spinoff of the Boston Globe and has some interest in being perceived as impartial. As I've said before the local Jersey papers are not bad, nor Commonweal or America. Know to whom you are listening and where they're coming from. 1798:, Calhoun did not directly advocate secession. He threatened it repeatedly but at no point plainly said "This is the time to do it." I think there are some historians who even make the argument that Calhoun would have actually preferred for the South to remain in the Union, but used secession as a tactic, thinking that by threatening it, he could get the North to consent to Southern demands. As for the Lost Cause category, I did not know that he was listed in that category and have decided to remove him. The Lost Cause is a post-Civil war phenomenon and all other individuals listed in that category are people who wrote about the Antebellum South and the Civil War after the war was already over. Just looking over the list of people in the category, it's obvious that Calhoun's name does not go with the rest. 2360:, in which you say that "Wuerl faced questions regarding how much he knew about McCarrick's activities." In the McCarrick article, we can say, "Donald Wuerl, McCarrick's successor as Archbishop of Washington, faced questions regarding how much he knew about McCarrick's activities. Through a spokesman, he denied that he was aware of McCarrick's misconduct prior to his removal from ministry, which took place on June 20, 2018. However, on January 10, 2019, The Washington Post published a story stating that Wuerl, despite his past denials, was aware of allegations against McCarrick in 2004 and reported them to the Vatican." This would be an immediate fix to comply with 1400:. Towey worked as a Florida politician and volunteered as Mother Teresa's lawyer in the eighties and nineties; he worked in the White House as director of the Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives during the Bush presidency, overseeing federal support of religious social services; he currently works as a Catholic university president. He also played a small part in the McCarrick/Vigano affair: he issued a statement strongly condemning the first Vigano letter, which caused some turmoil among Catholics. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on improving the article's presentation of both his political record and his religious involvement. Cheers, 3344:, no, I did not find that I was mistaken. I request no "special favor" to offensive content nor do I want to include it simply because it is offensive. I only demand that it receive no peculiar disfavor. There is a distinction. The policy said that offensive material is not "exempt from normal inclusion guidelines," which is what I maintained when I said that it was subject to the same scrutiny as other content. Meanwhile, I suggest you take note of the second sentence in the first paragraph: "Knowledge (XXG) editors should not remove material solely because it may be offensive, unpleasant, or unsuitable for some readers." 1852:, I understand that making arguments on a talk page when they cannot be rebutted with reason will now be censured as "disruptive." Since when did that happen? I have violated no policy. I did not re-revert. Since my edit was reverted, I have restricted my changes to the talk page. I also did not add commentary and personal analysis to the article. In fact, I removed it. This warning is therefore entirely inappropriate. I have not done anything outside of Knowledge (XXG) rules and you ascribe to me behavior which you and others are actually guilty of. 2386:, would you mind changing the first sentence of the first Wuerl paragraph from "Donald Wuerl, McCarrick's successor as Archbishop of Washington, was suspected by some of having knowledge of McCarrick's activities, allegations which he repeatedly denied." to "Wuerl faced questions regarding how much he knew about McCarrick's activities."? There are still disputed sections of the article, but this would solve one of the issues at least. My only condition as it relates to this section is that the rest of the material be kept where it is. 2332:, I don't think there's anything wrong with adding a little bit about it to the "Cathar theology" section. It certainly was considered a strange practice, both then and now, and serves as just one more detail to help the reader understand why Cathars were so alienated from Catholic Europe. I agree that the Catharism article should have more on it and that the primary focus of this article should be on the crusade itself, which you are welcome to add to should you wish. You're clearly knowledgeable enough about the subject. Thanks. 2170:, "a South Carolina statesman who held a number of high political offices in the United States during the early 19th century, including that of Vice President. He began his career as a modernizer who supported various programs that would increase the power of the Federal government. However, as the sectional divide between the North and South increased, he changed course. He became a strong opponent of protective tariffs, which were harmful to the Southern economy, and a major proponent of nullification and slavery."! -- 3117:

the purposes of editing this encyclopedia, I don't care what you believe. But you shouldn't allow your own opinions to cause you to want to remove content which is supported by reliable sources and relevant to the articles in which they appear. In attempting to discredit him, you've ignored the numerous instances in which at least parts of his allegations seem to match the claims made independently by others. In the case of the article on Cardinal Tobin, you assisted in removing mention of one such case.

not - Costen is the only person I know who calls him Henry the Petrobrusian - everyone else calls him Henry of Lausanne, and some older books Henry the Monk or Deacon - the citation probably isn't needed, but I wanted people unfamiliar with the name to know where it came from and that I wasn't making it up or vandalizing the page - if the citation cannot go inside the brackets, it's probably best to remove it altogether to avoid misunderstanding as to the sources of the other names - cheers -

2482:"Speaking in Oxford after the May 2015 same-sex marriage referendum in Ireland, Burke said that he struggled to understand "any nation redefining marriage ... I mean, this is a defiance of God. It's just incredible. Pagans may have tolerated homosexual behaviours, they never dared to say this was marriage." Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh rebuked Burke and called his comments offensive and urged individuals "to try to be respectful and inoffensive in language" wherever possible. 3513: 1274: 31: 653:"Please be more careful about insulting the intelligence of other editors by expecting them to believe that you obviously intended to say is somehow not really what you meant. Thanks." Why do I need to be careful about insulting someone's intelligence? Is there wikipedia guidance on that? Don't second guess anything - please keep to the facts, and ensure your interactions remain civil. I won't continue to be threatened or intimidated. 124: 396: 1820: 3220: 1199: 2477:. Knowledge (XXG) doesn't take sides. We report on what people do and say and that's it. The article includes the quote from Burke, and it's left up to the reader to determine whether that fits the definition of "bigoted." It's fine to include information about what other people say about a person's comment. For example, take these sentences in the "Opposition to homosexuality and same-sex marriage" section: 3317:

offensive, nor does it mean that offensive content is exempted from regular inclusion guidelines. Material that could be considered vulgar, obscene or offensive should not be included unless it is treated in an encyclopedic manner. Offensive material should be used only if its omission would cause the article to be less informative, relevant, or accurate, and no equally suitable alternative is available.

your own article during your previous 1,000 edits (you haven't disputed that as far as I can tell) is highly questionable and might be the beginnings of a pattern of hounding. The final decision on whether to give a warning or enforce sanctions is left to any uninvolved admin, but in an ANI thread such as this it's anyone's legitimate right to offer their thoughts and you can't force me to stop.

3464: 3177: 792: 252: 1955: 953:. Thank you for your note and compliment. If you look at the bottom of the article, you'll see that it cites the John Adams article on Knowledge (XXG) as its source. The entire article is a copy of a version of the main John Adams page. There are some websites which for whatever reason copy Knowledge (XXG) articles word for word, and this appears to be one of them. 2424: 3413: 3042: 741: 548: 201: 2314:- I don't think this needs to be in the article on the Crusade, it's not pertinent to the Crusade itself - I thought you were correct to remove the bit about starvation from the Albigensian Crusade article since the endura, as far as we know, was not a common practice and is not relevant to the Crusade - but do what you think is best - cheers - 478:

looking a little bit like what we're seeing at the Hogg bio. I think I'll mostly leave this one alone, but thank you for bringing it to my attention. If you or somebody else nominates it for deletion or tries to add something to balance out the coverage, there's a good chance I'd support it. Not sure how successful you'd be though.

340:, I normally use edit summaries, but in this case didn't because I had done the same thing in that exact article before. I guess I should've included one. My apologies. Basically, you have guessed correctly. A caption that is not a complete sentence should not have punctuation. If you want this verified, please go to 3123:

except statements made by individuals, and should never be used to assert controversial claims as true. I consider CNA, CNS, Crux, NC Reporter, NC Register, and the Catholic Herald as reliable sources. Some of them do have ideological orientations, but I think it's been shown that they can be depended on for facts.

3289:, whether the content is undue or not is a matter of personal opinion, but there is no penalty for adding offensive or hurtful content to articles when it is reliably sourced. Knowledge (XXG) is not censored; hence, content that is offensive and hurtful is subject to the same scrutiny as content that isn't. 3316:

A cornerstone of Knowledge (XXG) policy is that the project is not censored. Knowledge (XXG) editors should not remove material solely because it may be offensive, unpleasant, or unsuitable for some readers. However, this does not mean that Knowledge (XXG) should include material simply because it is

3122:

I am familiar with the reliability and orientation of the different sources. I'm not sure why you say that LA Times is better than NY. Like its counterparts on the opposite end of the spectrum, Church Militant and LSN, America is too heavily ideologically oriented to be relied on for much of anything

2487:

So, it is fine to include a quote from someone else commenting on whether something that a person said or did was acceptable or not. But we at Knowledge (XXG) cannot take a position, no matter how obvious it may seem to you. We could quote certain people describing Hitler's views to be xenophobic and
