==About this page== This is the feedback page for User:Jliberty User:Jliberty and Jesse Liberty ==How To Leave Feedback== Please add feedback here - just stick in a =={Title}== header immediately after this one (which you may do in the edit window that comes up after you click on the [Edit] button next to this header) - please leave this header, etc, alone, though - thanks - JL == George Melly edit== (One does not "become bisexual" or "become heterosexual" -- all evidence is that sexuality is life long, though behavior may change) Hmm, this is disputable - still, I've got no real objection to the change except to note that it is a 'political' change which is largely contradicted by George Melly's own account of his sexuality. Tomandlu ==Holocaust edit== In the article Holocaust, I'm not sure why you did not like the reference to Holocaust Denial. It is peculiar in that it is a very extreme position that few would take, including those accused and tried of participating in the Holocaust. It distinguishes between what most see as legitimate debate and what others would see as anti-Semitic motivated debate. If you dispute the accuracy of the article, then try to edit it to say that the Holocaust did not happen. The very existence of the article implies that Holocaust Denial is exactly that--denial, a motivated attempt to dispute facts that are clearly accurate. You decide, I won't change the article. ==Lincoln== Umm, there's policy on both questions; I don't have time to dig it up now, I'll check later tonight and get back to you. User:Jnc User_talk:Jnc 00:39, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC) : Well, as far as the version issue goes, according to Wikipedia:Three_revert_rule#Enforcement: :: sysops may protect pages on the version disliked by those who have engaged in excessive reverts. This is believed by some to be a recent change to the protection policy. The sysop also has the option to protect the current version, thereby maintaining a sense of neutrality. : I did neither, just left the most recent version there. You could probably find more on this subject at Wikipedia:Protection_policy. : As to the poll, check out Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution#Conduct_a_survey. : Hope this helps. If not, just keep looking around, and using "Search" - that's all I could do if I had to find more. User:Jnc User_talk:Jnc 18:00, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC) How is your latest version of the paragraph even close to being neutral? It doesn't even mention that it wasn't uncommon for men to share beds back then. Also, it's impossible for Lincoln to have been homosexual since he had a wife and kids. At most he could be bisexual. --brian0918">User:Brian0918™">User talk:Brian0918 21:20, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC) : 1. The article does not engage the discussion, by consensus that was moved to the separate article, it simply restores the single fact that was there all along, and then refers to that other page. Second, Tripp believes that Lincoln was "predominantly" homosexual. Today, some folks would call that homosexual and some would call that bisexual. On the Kinsey scale, 0 = exclusively hetero, 3 = bisexual 6 = exclusively homosexual; Tripp puts Lincoln at 5. == 3RR == No need to defend your reversion as vandalism fighting in the edit summary, there's better things to spend your time on: I think everybody knows the 3RR doesn't count for vandalism by now. Keep up the good work! == Susan Sontag == I liked your edit on this page, which sets up the Ed Koch 'controversy' paragraph well. (In fact, I don't think Koch's mention of Sontag created anything like a controversy at the time -- I don't remember it, and this seemed to appear on the Wikipedia page after her death simply as a way of attacking Sontag. But no matter. It's a representative sample of the kind of attack often made against her, and as such deserves to be part of the way she is remembered.) I'm curious -- of whom are you thinking when you mention ''other'' American intellectuals who were or are household names or public figures? They weren't in "Annie Hall" playing ''themselves'', were they? Sontag ''was'' different, she was apart from the rest. That needs to be said in the entry. Whether it was her shock of white hair, whether it was being a woman in a man's world, whether it was her effort (or her apparently effortless ease) in staring directly into the media glare, she had a certain kind of ''mojo'' through a long public career. As for her intellectual trajectory, charted in such a public way, I can find no easy parallel (at least in the U.S.). I don't quite know how to phrase all this on the Wikipedia page, but something about her peculiar public role and her curious glamour needs to be articulated. Any suggestions? User:San dover 04:23, 6 Feb 2005 (TC) : I can think of a few. Noam Chomsky comes immediately to mind. Others might include Marshall Mcluhan, Robert Nozick, Robert Bork, Charles Murray, Larry Kramer... I'm not sure that Susan Sontag was a household name (depends on your household) but she was certainly not unique. User:Jliberty 15:53, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC) =Katherine Mansfield= You removed Katherine Mansfield from "debated lesbian, gay, or bisexual orientation" in February with the comment "lack of evidence" despite there being a biographic reference on the talk page. I'm guessing you know very little about famous New Zealand authors. If you wish to summarily remove information you know nothing about from an article you at least check the talk page first. User:Ben Arnold 00:58, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC) I apologize; I tried very hard to read each article before removing anyone and I must have missed the biographic reference. Thanks for fixing my mistake User:Jliberty 12:08, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
