Multiculturalism

Hi. I note that you keep reverting my edits to the lead of this article, without any explanation. I have added some support for my edits in this area, and would appreciate some dialogue about this. To re-iterate, I made the changes that I did because 'multicultural' directs to this page, and I thought it important to make the distinction between conditions of cultural diversity (i.e. multicultural demography) and the policies of management that go under the name of 'multiculturalism'. And furthermore, to point out that while many countries are multicultural, not all of them have official policies that support it. These points seem common sense to me, and certainly not controversial, nor in need of references - and if they did, then why not require the same of those aspects of the lead that you seem happy with?

Economics Edit

Hello, Buddha24.

Would you be willing to consider my sharing thoughts on the above here? (The Econ Talk page is always available and may be necessary, but there might be more agreement than you think, & I'd rather avoid that if possible.) Your courteous tone on this page encouraged me to write. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 15:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I am just trying to improve the article, I'm sorry for any trouble, thanks. Buddha24 (talk) 19:04, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I was preparing to leave a note for you when I came across your response, Buddha24, for which a belated thanks. I would have responded much quicker had I known of it. Nevertheless, but no harm is done.

I share your concern about improving the article. I still have big concerns about the current S&D image in the lead, which were touched on in my 18:43, 7 May & 19:01, 21 May 2008 Edits (on the history tab of the aricle). I have found that some of the best Edits come from apparently big differences that can be dodged without any loss of principle on either side. I was preparing to post the following Edit summary where I acknowledge & try to meet your concern there:

Restored long-standing image at top, altered to rm irrelevant & arguably objectionable ref. to New York (hence U.S.).

Would that be acceptable to you? If not, would you be open to my elaborating om my concerns? Please let me know in this space. The Talk page of the article is a last resort. Thanks. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 17:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand what your getting at? But yes, you can change the picture back if you like..Buddha24 (talk) 09:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your help. I was being uncharacteristically short-winded. The proposed revised image text is at [[User:Thomasmeeks/Rough drafts#Lead. More extended thoughts are at User:Thomasmeeks/Rough drafts#Image problem. Here is a refined Edit summary I'd plan to use, which I don't believe you'd object to:

Restored image at top w text altered to rm irrelevant & arguably objectionable place ref. (w assist from Buddha24).

Your last artoc;e Edit summary allowed me to see what you were getting at. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 19:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Unconstructive edits

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia as you did to Liberal elite. You seem to be acting in good faith, but clearly from this talk page, you need to rethink your approach. JQ (talk) 03:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Culture of Arizona

I have nominated Culture of Arizona, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Culture of Arizona. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? CosineKitty (talk) 01:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Please read my response.

Also, you created your report within the Copperchair report. In the future, please follow instructions more carefully to create a separate case page. I fixed it for you. Yechiel (Shalom) 04:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Scottsdale

Hello, I noticed you have changed some edits to the Scottsdale, Arizona entry that I made. First of all, Scottsdale is not bordered by Cave Creek. Scottsdale is in fact bordered by Carefree, Tempe, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Fountain Hills, and the Indian Reservation, and there's nothing wrong with mentioning all this in the intro. Also, the intro needs to have some descriptive information for people who may not know much about Scottsdale, so I think the New York Times quote explains that pretty well.

RE: Recent edits

In regard to the posts you made on my talk page.[1][2]:

I have no idea what you are talking about. Please enlighten me. The only recent edits I made to the Los Angeles County, California was to change {{County of Los Angeles}} to a collapsed state so it would also be consistent with the other navboxes on that page.[3] That is not considered vandalism. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I suspect you "misfired", intending to post the message somewhere else. If you look at the current discussions on my talk page, there are no other posts that would fit the phrase you wrote, "but clearly from this talk page, you need to rethink your approach."[4] If that is the case, please be more careful. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:23, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Dude, it's already been discussed that there WILL NOT be a picture of a spider on an arachnophobia page, which is about as descriptive as a picture of a hot air baloon on a Acrophobia article. Thanks, Orangemango (talk) 03:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Arlington County, Virginia

Regarding your insistence that Arlington isn't urban: "Please read the rest of the article" doesn't explain why! Can you give a specific reason instead of making a sweeping reference to the entire article? —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:06, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Your edits to the Minnesota page were mean-spirited and untrue. - Schrandit (talk) 01:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Minnesota has been democrat since the early 1970's, that's just a shame that you don't agree. Buddha24 (talk) 02:20, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Which is why they have a Republican Governor, US Senator and 3 Congressmen? - Schrandit (talk) 03:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Las Vegas, Nevada has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive.

I don't care, I'm just trying to re-do articles to a global viewpoint, You seem to be against that for some reason. Buddha24 (talk) 01:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

From a global viewpoint you have to specify a currency - a loaf of bread currently costs 2 billion dollars in Zimbabwe. Please be careful with your grammar and spelling. Johnbod (talk) 01:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

California

Hi, Buddha24! One of your recent edits — the one you made to California — did not appear to be constructive and I reverted it. You gave "fixing grammar errors" as the reason for your previous reversion, but there were no grammar errors in the page that you reverted. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 06:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Regarding my previous edits to 1990s

I'm in the process of reforming the 1990s article to make it look better. I created subpages as a way to shorten the article so that it looks less cluttered. I am modelling my 1990s edits to the 2000s page, which in my opinion is a much better and most importantly "shorter" article. If you are knowledgable at all with the 1990s decade you are welcome to help me. (Tigerghost (talk) 12:39, 28 July 2008 (UTC))

Look at the 2000s article, compared to the 1990s article. The 2000s article is more organized and cleaner than its 1990s counterpart. And all of the misclaneous information is located in the subarticles I already created. And it was not changing history, the Gulf War was authorized by the UN and 34 independent nations invaded Iraq – therefore it was not "only" a US effort, it was a United Nations effort. (Tigerghost (talk) 02:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC))

Actually, six troops from Europe, and three from Russia, doesn't really count as a coalition. Please do your research more carefully. Buddha24 (talk) 07:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

What research led you to think that besides US troops there were only six from Europe and three from Russia? Take a look at Coalition_of_Gulf_War#Coalition_by_number_of_troops. (For that matter, why did you think there were any from Russia?) —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

I was trying to be sarcastic, ok?? Buddha24 (talk) 00:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Also Buddha24, "After 1992 the booming of the stock market, in which Alan Greenspan coined the phrase 'irrational exuberance'." is not a complete or grammatically correct sentence. "Philippines shown a great deal of economic development" is not correct either. The country is THE Philippines, not Philippines, and shown is not the past tense of see, shown is only used when preceded by "has" or "was" as in the Philippines has shown or was shown. Ireland is part of Western Europe, in fact it is one of the most western of all European countries, and the Soviet Union was only in Asia and Europe. Two of seven continents is not "many" besides that to say "In many continents....in many countries" is redundant. Something happening or found in many continents has to be in many countries too as very few countries span multiple continents. Please stop reverting these changes, your versions are incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.209.221.223 (talk) 00:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Head-scratcher

Hi Buddha, I'm pretty perplexed about this edit of yours from last summer. Quite a while before that, I created the chart in question. You uploaded the same file under a different name, without indicating that in the new copy of the file; and your edit summary erroneously reports that you're uploading an image, as opposed to replacing an image that was already uploaded, under a different name (and without attribution).

I guess there's no real harm done -- the article didn't suffer, and I don't attach an enormous amount of importance to being credited for that sort of work. Still, it's one of the more bizarre edits I've come across in some time, and I'm wondering if you could explain. -Pete (talk) 05:33, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Never heard back. I'm going to delete your version of the file. -Pete (talk) 20:33, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
