Fujiwara's theorem
We had a discussion about this theorem at Votes for deletion/The ugly theorem and the outcome was that it should not get an article. In fact, you contributed yourself to that page. I am afraid that it will not do to create the page again under a different name. If you think that the theorem does deserve an article here, then you should propose that the deletion be undone at Votes for undeletion, but be prepared that you need some arguments. Sorry. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:31, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature. When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Oleg Alexandrov 03:23, 17 July 2005 (UTC) Oleg Alexandrov 04:24, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Dylan. I do mean it. Would you mind providing an edit summary? Just remember, you are not hte only one in here, and edit summaries are a curtsey to others, explaining what you are up to. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov 02:39, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Stern's result on perfect numbers
Hi. Sorry to bother you again, but where did you get Stern's result from? First, I wondered which Stern this is, but now I think that this actually follows immediately from Euler's result, which says that an odd perfect number is the product of a number of the form 4n + 1 and an odd square (which is also of the form 4n + 1). What do you think about it? Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 22:47, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary ...
... baby. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 12:58, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Glyn Harman
Hi. There seems to be missing in the theorem on the Glyn Harman article that you created. What does t(x) stand for? I can think of one possible interpretation, but I'm not sure it is the correct one.

At the very least, please tell us where you got the information from. We really need this. Pretty please :) -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 01:43, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Masato Tomobe / Japanese lit
Everyone has their favorite authors and poets, but this Tomobe guy doesn't seem to be in the same class as Soseki or Mishima. CES 00:09, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Real business
Hi Dylan. I have a comment about this addition of yours to real number. First, what do you mean by "decimal representation", is it positional notation? If so, it is not unique, as there is the 1=0.99999...9.. issue. If you mean something else, a link would be very much required, and if you have any, even references. Anyway, I removed your contribution for now, pending further clarification. You can reply here, I will keep your talk page on my watchlist for a while. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes,your right.However, I am talking about infinite decimal representation. 1 is represented as 0.9999.. there. DYLAN LENNON 17:13, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Got it. Although I am very doubtful who has the first person discovering an infinite representation. For that reason I will remove that person's name from the authors. (Actually, I believe that remark better go in positional notation, it is more relevant there.)

 * And Dylan, please, one thing which you never learned. Please explain your edits. It is little effort, but please understand, it is important. People must know why you wrote something. So, please, learn this, use an edit summary. It matters, it is useful, and it takes little effort. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I understand. However, I think it has to be in the real number section. It's the property what the real number has and not what positional notation does.DYLAN LENNON 21:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Good. I reworded your contribution to integrate it with the paragraph before. And I truly don't think it is worth mentioning who proved that, the result is rather elementary and easy to show. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:53, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I think it's not easy to show. Why do you think so?DYLAN LENNON 13:30, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, assume that there are two representations:

 * $$x=a_0.a_1a_2a_3\dots \times 10^k$$
 * $$x=b_0.b_1b_2b_3\dots \times 10^k$$

with $$0\le a_i,\, b_i\le 9.$$

Drop the $$10^k.$$ Drop any leading digits which are equal, so assume $$a_0\ne b_0.$$ Assume $$a_0>b_0$$ (the case $$a_0b_0$$. So:

 * $$x=a_0.a_1a_2a_3\dots \ge a_0.000\dots = a_0 \ge b_0+1 = b_0.9999\dots \ge b_0.b_1b_2b_3\dots =x.$$

Therefore, all these numbers must be equal, which implies

$$x=a_0.a_1a_2a_3\dots = a_0.0000\dots $$

and

$$b_0.9999\dots = b_0.b_1b_2b_3\dots$$

so the only two different representations is one with zeros and one with nines. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:00, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. But it wasn't easy, was it? I thought it might help some people to let them know that Professor Yokogawa has the easiest proof so far. DYLAN LENNON 20:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't think it is worth mentioning Professor Yokogawa's name. This is an elementary result, which probably any good high school teacher can prove. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:06, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Your edit at real number
Dylan, please take a look here, and read the text above and below that. Your addition is out of place, it interrupts an existing discussion.

Also, if you notice, the issue of archimedes property is dealt with later in the article. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 21:02, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

You will be banned from ja.wp
DYLAN LENNON,

perhaps, you will be permanently driven out from japanese wikipedia. Now,it votes on it, and a lot of agreements. (Nobody opposes.)

We were not able to stop mischievous of you who happened one after another. I feel sorry to become such a situation in people of en.wikipedia.

Good bye, DYLAN LENNON.--Schildt.a 15:48, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

DYLAN LENNON was blocked with an expiry time of infinite in ja.wp.log
 * Congratulations.

In seeing the series of behavior of you, even if it is elementary mathematics, it might be impossible that you understand mathematics. --Schildt.a 08:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Big Omega Function?
Um, what are your recent additions about odd perfect numbers about and what do you mean by the Big Omega function? JoshuaZ 05:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, I had the same question, so I reverted your edits. Please be more considerate to your fellow Wikipedians and take some time to explain your edits. Don't remove a redirect just because one guy calls a certain function Ω. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 12:25, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, after thinking about this slightly more, the use of &Omega to denote the total number of prime factors, counting repetition, seems somewhat common. Its used that way in Hardy and Wright, and other standard number theory textbooks. It might not be unreasonable to have an article on the "total number of prime factors" or something similar which mentioned this, as well as giving certain standard results about it, such as how the avergae and normal order are both $$\log \log n$$. JoshuaZ 14:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * If you say so. In that case, I guess both uses should be mentioned on big Omega function. However, just blanking out the redirect, as Dylan has done another time now (diff), without giving any explanation, is out of the question. The capital omega is also used as explained in asymptotic notation. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 21:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the redirect makes more sense. &Omega is used for many minor things. The resulting disambiguation for the term would be hideous. JoshuaZ 21:55, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Big Omega function and Axiom of Archimedes
Hi Dylan. Thank you for adding the reference to initial value problem. I am not sure the result is that important, but I guess it does not hurt. I hope you can live with the compromise at big Omega function. I often have trouble figuring out what you mean. Anyway, it was good that you wrote something on Talk:Big Omega function.

Now, regarding to Axiom of Archimedes. You said that Axiom of Archimedes contains something that is not in Archimedean property. Could you please tell us what, as I couldn't find what you were talking about. Also, why don't you just add this fact to Archimedean property? Surely, there is no need to have two articles about the same thing? -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Deletions
I have placed a tag on the article Shohé Tanaka, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. I did this because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Shohé Tanaka is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Shohé Tanaka. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.
 * Also, I've reverted a number of your wikilinks to not quite related topics. If you can explain them, you may put them back.
 * Also, I've nominated Hiroshi Haruki for deletion. This isn't a speedy delete request, but you've had 5 months since creation to add more information.

-- Arthur Rubin | (talk) 02:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * FYI. ja:User:DYLAN LENNON has been banned from jawiki. Tietew 05:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I noticed that on the history of this talk page before he blanked it. But I have no special privileges. Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:25, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I've withdrawn the nomination, but what is there is barely an assertion of notability. If you didn't have anything else to say, you shouldn't have said anything. Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:31, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Division ring
Look at talk:Division ring and talk to me instead of just reverting. I'm pretty sure I understand Swedish and Catalan etc. better than you do. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 10:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

is this vandalism?
this edit looks like vandalism to me, removing all the interwikis. For that and for reverting that article, I ban you for 24 hours. -lethe talk [ +] 13:21, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * DYLAN was also causing trouble at the same time at division ring, see above, and I think (not sure) this was while he was still blocked as User:WAREL. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 14:47, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

RfC
See User talk:WAREL.

Also, please visit Requests for comment/WAREL and state your view on the matter. I unblocked your User:WAREL account so that you can comment (I did not unblock this User:DYLAN LENNON account though).

This request for comment is the last attempt by the community to get you to get along well with others. If that fails, the next step may be a permanent ban on both of your accounts. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 00:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Finite field
DYLAN, this edit of yours is incorrect. While a field is not the same as a division ring, a finite division ring is the same as a finite field. Please comment at talk:finite field. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:53, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * And please do not revert, as you will be blocked. If you are right, we will listen to you. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

wedderburn's theorem
Dear DYLAN, since you seem interested in Wedderburn's theorem, I have an idea for something useful that you could do. There is an article that explains the proof of Wedderburn's theorem on PlanetMath (http://planetmath.org/?op=getobj&from=objects&id=3627). We don't have that proof explained (even a short summary version) on wikipedia yet. If you are interested, you could make an article on wikipedia that explains the proof. You could pretty much copy the planetmath version across if you like. I think if you did a good job of this, it would be a sign to the other editors here that you are serious about wanting to help. Dmharvey 19:53, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, please continue to comment at talk:finite field. It takes a lot of talk to get to an agreement sometimes. :) That's how things work here. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Please comment more at talk:finite field. And for the n-th time, do not remove the japanese link. It just gets put back. By reverting all the time you make people pay no attention to you, by using the talk page you make people think you actually may have a point every now and then. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

WAREL/DYLAN LENNON, Per Requests for comment/WAREL and all the instance of improper conduct documented at User talk:WAREL and User talk:DYLAN LENNON I block you indefinitely.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Diez2 01:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Notability of A Gossipy Crow
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on A Gossipy Crow, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because A Gossipy Crow seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting A Gossipy Crow, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate A Gossipy Crow itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 16:50, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

A Gossipy Crow
A "" template has been added to the article A Gossipy Crow, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello DYLAN LENNON! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called DYLAN LENNON. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name DYLAN LENNON~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Image copyright problem with Image:Seth2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Seth2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Longhair 22:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Welcome from Redwolf24
Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style
 * Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes ( Redwolf24 05:29, 14 July 2005 (UTC) ) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes ( Redwolf24 ) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

Image Tagging Image:Clairefontaine_1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Clairefontaine_1.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Image Tagging Image:Clairefontaine_2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Clairefontaine_2.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Orphaned non-free media (File:LigaDjarum.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:LigaDjarum.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:12, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Brandy Zadrozny publicity photo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Brandy Zadrozny publicity photo.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука13 16:15, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Brandy Zadrozny 2.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Brandy Zadrozny 2.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions.

Emotions about emotion
I actually think the Emotion page is fine as is. It presents a psychological and philosophical perspective and I think the link you put to your affective neuroscience article is the way to go regarding neural mecanisms. One comment about the affective neuroscience article, it looks like its coming along nicely, but you really need a section in there regarding affective disorders, since many of what is known in this field stems from their study. Nice job though! Nrets 15:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Pick's Disease, etc.
Hi Sallison and welcome to Wikipedia. The See Also section is a good idea to have, but I remember reading in guidelines (unfortunately I can't remember the exact place...but I'm sure I read it in the guidelines) that categorization should be used instead of "See Also," especially when it's just a short list like that. I noticed that all of the articles listed in "See Also" were in the "Cognitive disorders" category, so I just added Pick's Disease to that category. But if you're going to put all those other references in a context in the article, then that See Also can be there, but is the Cognitive disorders category appropriate for Pick's Disease? --CDN99 20:04, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Here's the edit that I had reversed.  Then I noticed this note in the aricle: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=8108024.

It referenced the the photic sneeze reflex as a previously unrecognized problem. So I figured the statement was bad and therefore took it back out. SDC 00:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

FTLD/FTD
Thank you for the well justified and needed correction of wording to the article on frontotemporal lobar degeneration. I couldn't agree more that it's important to keep pathological entities and clinical syndromes distinct. Also, I think it's important to keep the relevant information about the clinical entities thought to be caused by those pathologic processes in the article somehow. This is why I added some of the information you removed back to the article. Hopefully, this or something like it will seem a fair compromise. Cheers, sallison 00:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Native American studies

Comment
Additional content needed, will add stub template, etc. as soon as i figure out how Howee 05:30, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Richard Oakes
For other persons of the same name, see Richard Oakes. Richard Oakes (1942–September 20, 1972) was a Mohawk Native American activist who promoted the fundamental idea that Native peoples have a right to sovereignty, justice, respect and control over their own destinies. His legacy reflects the struggles of Native peoples and all people to maintain their land, identity, and lifeways.

Oakes played an integral part in creating one of the first Native American studies departments in the nation. He developed the initial curriculum and encouraged other American Indians to enroll at San Francisco State University.

As a Mohawk Indian, Oakes was a strong supporter of Native American rights. He believed that Native American people have a right to their land and identity and that they deserve respect, justice and control.

[edit] Alcatraz occupation Main article: Occupation of Alcatraz In 1969, Oakes led a group of students and urban Bay Area Indians in an occupation of Alcatraz Island that would last until 1971. He also recruited 80 UCLA students from the American Indian Studies Center.

Indians of various tribes joined Oakes and staged the longest occupation of a federal facility by Indian people.

The historic occupation was made up initially of young Indian college students. Described as a handsome, charismatic, talented, and natural leader, Oakes was identified as "chief" of the island.

Oakes had control of the island from the very beginning, with an organizational council put into effect immediately. Everyone had a job, including security, sanitation, day care, schooling, cooking, and laundry. All decisions were made by the unanimous consent of the people.

The goals of the Indian inhabitants were to gain a deed to the island, establish an Indian university, cultural center, and museum.

In 1970 the island began to fall into disarray once Oakes' 13-year-old stepdaughter fell to her death. After the fatality, Oakes left the island, along with numerous students who went back to school.

Conflicts over leadership and the influx of non-Indians diminished the important stance of the original occupants.

In June 1971 the United States government removed the remaining 15 occupants from the island.

While Oakes and his followers did not succeed in obtaining the island, they did affect U.S. policy and the treatment of Indians. As a result of the occupation, the official U.S. government policy of termination of Indian tribes was ended and replaced by a policy of Indian self-determination.

Shortly after leaving Alcatraz, Richard was injured in a fight, having been hit in the head with a pool cue. In a coma for over 30 days, all hope for his recovery was nearly lost. Friends credit the appearance of his mentor Wallace Mad Bear Anderson of the Iroquois Confederacy, and spiritual leader, with bringing him back to life.

Soon after that, however, Oakes was shot and killed by a man named Mike Morgan. Morgan was a YMCA camp manager, who, for some reason, carried a gun. He had a reputation for being rough with Indian kids, and apparently did so again in Oakes presence. Oakes reportedly confronted him, and Morgan responded by drawing a handgun and fatally shooting him. Supporters of Oakes were outraged when the charges ve}}

Addition of Ward Churchill
I find the section called Notable Scholars to be a dubious category. It is NOT up to Wikipedia to decide if someone is good or not. Ward Churchill has been added to the section and he is not even in the top 50 of great Native American Studies professors. He is a fake Indian. He is the Chief of the Wannabee Tribe. We need to define this categor to present the attributes of the various professors properly. There are professors that make Ward Churchill look like the piker that he is, but they aren't even listed and they should not be listed in the same category as Chief Fake Indian.--Getaway 14:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Churchill is a fraud in many ways, but he is also notable, prominent, and widely cited in Indian Studies. I think he belongs in the list. The bigger problem here is making an NPOV list. I don't see that anyone has used objective criteria and evidence to determine inclusion or exclusion in the list.Verklempt 18:18, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree that Churchill is well-known, but not for Indian studies--mostly for his comment about 9/11 and the victims in the towers. He has written and series of polemics, but not studies.  Those polemics are not  based upon research and they are peer-reviewed.  Very little of what he has produced is peer-reviewed.  As a matter of fact, most of what he has produced is self-published, probably for the reason that he either does not want peer-review or he submitted his polemics to peers and they are unable or unwilling to pass the work further through the editorial process.  Churchill is well-known for not wanting others to question or debate his work.  In the self-published world you can rubber stamp your own work.  What research studies he has attempted he engaged in fraud.  I do not disagree that he belongs on the list per se.  But I do disagree that he should be called a "scholar" and that is where the problem is--which I think is the point that you are trying to make.--Getaway 14:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

And Getaway is a well known SOCKPUPPET who was blocked for trying to continue an edit war after consensus was achieved. I will back anyone who wants to achieve consensus that Ward Churchill belongs on that list. But I will not edit war with a sockpuppet or a meatpuppet. Albion moonlight 17:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Your comments are really off the topic. It is becoming obnoxious on your part, about whether Churchill is a scholar or a polemic.  You have just engaged in another personal attack.  I have grown tired of this line of personal attack.  Please stop it now.  If you continue then I will forced to move the next level to get you to stop the personal attacks.  You are now violating Wikipedia policy.  Please stop.   On this page allow is the two editors that your accused of being sockpuppets, myself Getaway & Verklempt, and obviously we are not the same person because we disagree on this topic. Any admin can take a look at this page and see that your claim that Verklempt and I are NOT the same person.  We don't even know each other and this is the first time that we have ever communicated with each.  Please stop your line of baseless personal attack.--Getaway 19:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

removal of racial identifiers

 * Whoa! Whats this? Racial? Don't know about that bra'. I restored the tribal national, not "racial" identifiers since they are routinely used in Native American Studies. More importantly, they are appropriate since Native American Studies has moved from a Pan-Indian framework to a tribal national one where one's affiliation is critical to the work being produced. See Warrior (Osage), Womack (Muskogee), and Weaver's (Cherokee) latest book project on Literary tribal nationalism as an example. Every Native person on that list (save two) are enrolled members of their tribal nations. No need for inflammatory, wrongful accusations of fraud and wannabe-ism, Verklempt. Remember that saying about blokes that live in glass houses? Allegations like that have a horrible way of catching up with one.

 * How do you know that those people are all enrolled in those tribes? AFAIK, Jack Forbes was born into a Jewish family, and is only enrolled in a tribe that he himself created.Verklempt (talk) 04:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Please read my post once more. I didn't write "those people are all enrolled in those tribes." I wrote, "all save two" are enrolled. But then, I'm not the one playing identity police. Also, just as there are Indians who practice their traditional tribal beliefs, there are Indians who are Christian, Mormon, Muslim, and yes, even Jewish. Your comment made me curious and I was not surprised to discover that it was in line with your extensive contributions to Wikipedia. I did begin to wonder as I perused your submissions of several years running, what makes you qualified to police anyone's identity? Why does it matter so much to you? Why the zealotry? I don't care about your answers really. But you might want to ask yourself these questions. Humility rather than a pointed finger is a much better eye-opener, don't you think?

 * I ask you to cease your ad hominem, which violates Wikipedia culture and policy. You still haven't answered the question: What is your evidence that any of these people are enrolled? If they are not citizens of the nation they claim, or if the nation is not recognized by its peer nations, then why should they be identified in this manner? Wikipedia demands evidence for assertions. Bitching about "identity police" is a distraction, and totally irrelevant to the point at hand.Verklempt
 * You are tiresome and rude. "Ad hominem?" I think that best describes your method. "Bitching?" How churlish as well as inappropriate. And, who are you to "demand" anything of me, in the name of wikipedia or of your own accord? If "identity policing" is indeed "a distraction, and totally irrelevant to the point at hand," (your words, not mine) then there is no need to respond to your question.
 * Peace, Tu'inukutavake 01:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Try to focus, and try to be polite. Wikipedia content must be supported by evidence. Assertions that cannot be substantiated by cites to reliable sources must be removed. If you refuse to provide evidence, then your edits cannot remain.Verklempt 01:25, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Most of those folks would say that their tribal affiliations are national identifiers, not racial. Even the wannabes on the list, or especially the wannabes. Such identification is routine in Indian Studies. What Wikipedia policy precludes this?Verklempt 00:44, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Neutrality
Ward Churchill's name belongs on the scholars list. To insist it does not belong there and revert it is not encyclopedic. Albion moonlight 11:40, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Without a working definition of "Notable Scholars," and another working definition of "Native American Studies," I don't see how any list can be NPOV. Also, most people working in the field call it "Indian Studies." Even the article's title is dubious.Verklempt 20:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * If you feel the name is wrong, propose a rename. That seems like a reasonable enough proposal.  However, my quick search yields:

 * http://www.googlebattle.com/index.php?domain=%22Native+American+Studies%22&domain2=%22American+Indian+Studies%22&submit=Go%21

 * \"Native American Studies\" 	1,420,000
 * \"American Indian Studies\" 	354,000

 * Those can cover a variety of usages, not all necessarily scholarly. But just browsing those that seem to be names of programs at universities, it looks like 'NA Studies' is used at around three times as many schools. Oh: plain "Indian Studies" gets some crosstalk from, y'know, India... but even so, its total is lower than NA.  LotLE × talk  20:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think the title is an issue worth much energy at this point. The fact remains that a working NPOV definition of "notable scholars" is preliminary to ending the current debate.Verklempt 20:57, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * How is Ward Churchill a scholar? Has he published articles in peer reviewed journals?  Is a professor of Indian studies?  Where is the scholarship?  He has self-published a ton of polemic books with publishers that do not edit or seek peer review of the articles/books they publish.  Show us the scholarship.--Getaway 12:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations on getting your law degree. I will not waste my time arguing with someone who refuses to argue in good faith. It will take some time to achieve a clear consensus. Are you willing to take this matter to mediation. Yes or no ? Albion moonlight 14:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Please do not make the mistake of bringing old feuds onto a new page, either of you. Albion moonlight, do you actually have an answer to the question or a reason for slapping a POV notice across the top of this page?  Vizjim 14:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * A quick look at Google Scholar, or siteseer, or at Churchill's WP article, or at Amazon.com, or any number of other place will show Churchill's publication record. Getaway, unfortunately, is so overwhelmingly obsessed with disparaging Churchill everywhere he can find, that the slightest hints of rational thought fly out the window prior to his edits or talk page comments that concern Churchill.  You can almost see the foam on Getaway's lips in his comments on this talk page, for example.  LotLE × talk  16:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Vizjam referred to Churchill as a disgraced scholar. His question to me was purely rhetorical. I slapped the pov tag on this article because people keep forgetting that this is an encyclopedia and not a forum for attacking their enemies. Albion moonlight 16:46, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Churchill is not an enemy of mine, and my question to you was certainly not purely rhetorical. Please refrain from these personal attacks.  How else would you describe someone fired by his institution? Vizjim 18:02, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

That was hardly a personal attack. From my perspective it was purely rhetorical whether you realized it or not.. The words ""wrongfully dismissed" seem quite apt. Fired or retired disgraced or otherwise, Ward Churchill is a scholar I can think of no valid reason to not include Churchill on a list of scholars. So lets cut to the chase and not waste anymore of each others time. Either admit you are in the wrong and bow out or let us begin the dispute process and take this matter to mediation. That could be fun. Albion moonlight 19:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, this gives a hint: Hollywood blacklist. Or more pertinently: American Council of Trustees and Alumni (with co-founder Hank Brown even), established for the explicit and stated purpose of getting scholars similar to Churchill out of their universities.  LotLE × talk  18:34, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * For some context, this looks good (quick Google search): http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=American_Council_of_Trustees_and_Alumni

 * "In 1995, Lynne Cheney and so-called liberal Senator Joseph Lieberman founded the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. According to Roberto Gonzalez of the San Jose Mercury News, the Council’s report “Defending Civilization: How Our Universities Are Failing America,” appears to protect academic freedom but actually resembles a blacklist. 'In a chilling use of doublespeak,' says Gonzalez, 'it affirms the right of professors to speak out, yet condemns those who have attempted to give context to Sept. 11, encourage critical thinking, or share knowledge about other cultures. Faculty are accused of being ‘short on patriotism’ for attempting to give students the analytical tools they need to become informed citizens.'

 * "'Many of those blacklisted are top scholars in their fields, and it appears that the report represents a kind of academic terrorism designed to strike fear into other academics by making examples of respected professors.'

 * "'The report might also function to extend control over sites of democratic debate – our universities – where freedom of expression is not only permitted but encouraged.'"— Carolyn Baker, Dissident Voice, February 7, 2005.'

 * I am not per-se endorsing the comment of Baker here, but this take on the meaning of the firing is certainly widespread (as well as mostly true). WP should not take the judgment of ACTA as final and sole word on the meaning of the events.  LotLE × talk  18:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Native American studies → Indigenous American studies —I think its time this article was updated to match the rest of the Indigenous articles, the word Native means Native-born citizen and/or Natural born citizen of the United States plus the WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America had decided long ago to use the word  Indigenous when dealing with articles that cover all of the Americans, since the majority of countries in the Americans use the word Indigenous and not Native or Indian in everyday life. I think the article should match Indigenous peoples of the Americas the main article in the series and its newer sub-pages/topics Indigenous Movements in the Americas, Indigenous Amerindian genetics, Indigenous languages of the Americas, List of indigenous artists of the Americas, List of writers from peoples indigenous to the Americas. Moxy (talk) 18:36, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I disagree with this proposed move. The article is about the discipline of Native American Studies, which is known as such on the vast majority of the programmes listed in the article. This article also does not "cover all of the Americas," but is US-specific.  Indigenous American studies should be created as a redirect to this article.  Vizjim (talk) 03:38, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I concur. Native American is a very fluid term that is perfectly acceptable throughout Latin America as well as US.-Uyvsdi (talk) 04:59, 6 April 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi

Journals
What does Oceania do on the list? I know it is a good journal, but isn't it a bit off-topic? But surely Ethnohistory belongs there, even if it does not only feature Native American or First Nation topics. I would add the very good European Review of Native American Studies, but I do not know how available it is in the USA - it is pretty scarce in German non-Museum libraries.--Radh (talk) 06:44, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't really care about American Indian Art Magazine being or not being in Wikipedia. But to erase it from "Native American Studies" because you think it is "not exactly decolonizing" is strange. I thought POV was not allowed? Do you consider Ethnohistory also to not be decolonizing or do you simply not know it? But I don't care and will stop working on First Nation topics here.--Radh (talk) 06:59, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * American Indian Art magazine is written almost exclusively from a non-Native, Western perspective and is full of ads from auction houses and dealers. Some of the articles are quite well researched and well-written, and the photography is lovely, but Non-Natives collecting Native antiquities has nothing to do with "decolonization of indigenous peoples, political autonomy, and the establishment of a discipline dedicated to alleviating contemporary problems facing indigenous peoples." -Uyvsdi (talk) 07:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * I do not dispute your arguments (non-Native writers, commercial backing) a bit. But advertising is the only reason its pictures can look that fantastic. And you could say the same things about other first-class - and certainly not-dumbed-down - magazines, African Art, a similar fantastic journal on Southeast-Asian Arts and even more so about Hali (on tapestries). Artforum and Flash Art always had lots of advertising. RES (from the Peabody) has not, but is nearly completely unknown (?) It is also often unreadable, like Ethnohistory. Academia likes to keep to itself. The European Review of Native American Studies, which also is not written from a strict post-colonial perspective, although some of your Good Guys have published in it, also would profit from some ad-money and at least could establish ,an online presence. To be so pure nobody can touch you is silly if you want to communicate - which is why you use a non-Native online-publisher like wp yourself, I guess? No, this is not meant in an unfriendly way. I find your work here very impressive.--Radh (talk) 09:15, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not that there is advertising; it's the nature of the advertisers. Private collectors of Native antiquities overwhelmingly have resisted NAGPRA (they don't have to comply anyway). Indian Art Magazine sponsors events such as the Marin Indian Art Show, which I had the misfortune of attending. Grave goods and sacred, cultural sensitive items were not only for sale but on public display, including a Cornhusk Society mask. Instead of supporting tribal sovereignty, self-determination, and self-representation for Native peoples, which is integral to Native American Studies, IAM represents the old guard of patronizing Western academic "Indian experts." Regarding WP, it is multi-ethnic - and allows Native peoples, and everyone else under the sun, to write on their own behalf about their own cultures and spheres of knowledge. -Uyvsdi (talk) 16:48, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * I did not doubt your reasoning per se and personal am pretty d'accord with your latest arguments, but this reasoning is (I think) simply not in accordance with WP's policy of no POV. But I surely will not start an edit-war or something.--Radh (talk) 11:00, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I think that Uyvsdi's position is NPOV in discussing Native American Studies. There are certainly other articles where this title belongs, but it is not part of the academic discipline of Native American Studies.  If that makes any sense. Vizjim (talk) 11:58, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but why should art not be a part of Native American Studies? Franz Boas, Gladys Reichard, Elsie Parsons and countless others have written seriously about it. But they are probably the bad, ugly, colonizing "Indian experts" Uybvsdi has in mind. But, I really would not have much to say about "Native Americans" anyway and surely do not need to edit articles relating to them.--Radh (talk) 14:06, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * In a nutshell, studying Native Americans ≠ Native American Studies. -Uyvsdi (talk) 16:46, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * Says who? Or, if you think so, why do you not eliminate ALL non-Native NA-students from the article? --Radh (talk) 17:43, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Inappropriate source for 'Decolonizing Native American Studies'
In the 'Decolonizing Native American Studies' subsection of the 'History' section, the citation (and maybe the content as well), https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/aeq.12032, seems to deal with Maori studies, while this is an article mainly talking about Native American studies. I think a new, more content-appropriate source is needed. Any thoughts? Factthinker (talk) 15:07, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Litho. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Litho~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:22, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Lack of information regarding specific Interdisciplinary Asian American Studies
There is a single sentence in this article about what actually constitutes Asian American studies (most of which has to be read on the actual Asian American wiki page. Additionally, important issues that are studied within Asian American studies, especially that of masculinity and femininity in the face of colonialism and assimilation, also only has a single sentence blurb.  This single sentence does not even have a citation.

History
This section is limited to the establishment of Asian American Studies as part of the student movements in the San Francisco Bay Area and the founding of a unit within the College of Ethnic Studies at SFSU. The section would benefit from multiple historical origin stories, beyond the California-centered narrative (i.e. Midwestern universities, U.S. South, Ivy League, Canadian). Another area that could be improved is the omission of Pacific Islanders and the convergences and divergences between Asian American Studies and Pacific Islander Studies.

Asian American studies → Asian-American studies – In this title, Asian American serves as a compound attributive (a form of compound modifier) and should be hyphenated in accordance with MOS:HYPHEN. (The principle is also addressed later on in the MOS where it states, "An en dash between separate nations; for people and things identifying with multiple nationalities, use a hyphen when applied as an adjective or a space as a noun. ... [For example,] Japanese–American trade;  but a family of Japanese-American traders or a family of Japanese Americans".)

This would be in line with existing precedents; e.g., at Asian Americans, the term is hyphenated when used attributively, and at African-American studies, the term is hyphenated. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 02:54, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Disagree Latino Studies is not the same as Chicano Studies. Reason being, Latino Studies serves as an umbrella for distinct types of ethnic studies like Chicano Studies but also Puerto Rican Studies, Dominican American Studies, etc. Subsuming this page into Chicano studies would then push out the other Central American, Latin American and Caribbean Latino Groups that can be included under the pan-ethnic term Latino. Please see the variety of university programs listed on this page. I recommend leaving the page as is but including a link to Chicano Studies as a related field. --February 28, 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.223.191.44 (talk) 00:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Also disagree: Notice how no one ever defines what Latino actually means? What does the Latin language have to do with it? What does the Roman Empire (Latins) have to do with it? What does Latin Europe have to do with it? We are just supposed to immediately accept it without any explanation. It seems as if just because a word requires a roll of the tongue, that automatically makes it a valid term without any explanation being necessary.

 * Chicanos (Mexican-Americans) are U.S. citizens and the United States is not recognized as part of Latin America. Mexican-Americans are NOT Latinos, not Romans, not citizens of Latin America. Dropmeoff (talk) 17:05, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Disagree with the move, Given that Latino Studies is recognized as an academic discipline (about US-resident Latinos), not only in the USA but in many other countries, the name should stay. I agree with the person above who notes that Latino Studies is not the same as Chicano Studies. By the way, the term Latino, preferred by many in the USA in preference over Hispanic, derives from the word Latinoamericano, and as such only has a distant etymological and historical relationship with "Latin". Note, too, that within the field of Latino Studies there is an enormous volume of discussion about terminology and the limitations and exclusions of various options (eg Hispanic vs Latino). The various sources cited at the article end contain excellent overviews about that debate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ulaapstonall (talk • contribs) 00:52, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Manly, New South Wales

Etymology
The part about the etymology is somewhat vague. What exactly about the Aborigines that made Cpt. Phillip named the place Manly? Was it because the Aborigines appeared very virile? Or just because they looked like men? Or...? --Menchi 05:32, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, manliness. I added a quote and source.  -- Kevin Ryde 00:26, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Separate page for the Local Government Area
As per discussion at Talk:List of Sydney suburbs, I have created a separate page for Manly Council, the Local Government Area. -- Ianblair23 10:57, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Previous edit history
Previous edit history is also present in the Manly article, due to a cut and paste disambig. Dysprosia 12:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

In these two sentences...

"Manly had been envisaged as a seaside resort by Henry Gilbert Smith in the 1850s. In 1853 Smith acquired two large parcels of land (which had been granted to John Thompson in 1842 and John Crane Parker in 1837).[6]

" Initially John had chartered a paddle steamer to Manly and other vessels visited on an ad hoc "excursion" basis. Smith built a wharf in 1855 and eventually acquired an interest in steamers himself and soon more regular services to Manly had commenced.[7]

... who is "John" in the second sentence? 173.180.129.94 (talk) 00:00, 7 September 2016 (UTC) ElectraShore

Reference material in External links
I've removed a couple of reference-material-type links from the external links (among others). If there's anything of value in these, it should be incorporated into the article and these links used as refs:
 * After 150 years, Manly's still the quay to Sydney, The Sydney Morning Herald, 10 September 2005
 * Fighting Jet Lag in Manly, Sydney's Easy Getaway, The New York Times, 16 January 2005

"Manly, Australia" listed at Redirects for discussion
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Manly, Australia. The discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 October 4 until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:43, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Whatsup guys. I'm new here. I'll probably concentrate on Wikipedia's soccer-related wikis. My favorite teams are Arsenal and Juventus. I'm also interested in music. Later on maybe I will type in some more info.

I created the article Liga Indonesia. It was featured on DYK...woo go me!
