Evolution of Chinese from Homo Erectus

Dear ArglebargleIV,

Thank you for your good faith edits!

But unfortunately, the reality of human evolution during the past 4 billions of life on our planet Earth is not as clear cut as the "out of Africa" theory attempts to address it. The "out of Africa" theory tries to say that ALL humans are descended from the same group of anatomically modern "Cro Magnon" or Homo Sapien Sapiens and while some of the older previous studies did initially seem to support that theory, those studies were not all inclusive and did not test many aspects of human genetics. But within the last few years, new genetic evidence have been discovered as a result of numerous scientific studies that have been conducted which lend a strong support that the modern Chinese people, or conservatively, a subpopulation of the Chinese gene pool are descended NOT from an anatomically modern African Homo Sapien like other humans on Earth, but rather that they are the product of an indigenous evolutionary lineage going back at least 1.8 million- 2 million years ago to Homo Erectus in East Asia. And that the modern Chinese people today are a more evolved anatomically modern form of Homo Erectus.

I am a scientist and I would like to introduce to you the peer reviewed scientific evidence supporting a separate independent evolution of the modern Chinese people from an archaic form of Homo Erectus.

Please watch this: 1.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJnuMx8KD84&feature=related

Below I have provided the results of scientific DNA studies that provide strong irrefutable support for an independent origin of the Chinese from Homo Erectus. These scientific studies have both been published in peer reviewed scientific journals and are well received by the scientific community. Please take some time to read them and feel free to ask me any questions regarding human evolution.

Unprofessional comments??

Dear ArglebargleIV,

I am a bit surprised that you would use such unprofessional comments, if you want to block me for simply putting a youtube link that presents a short two minute excerpt from scientific studies conducted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, please be my guest. It will have no effect on me whatsoever since I will be out of town presenting my lectures. But I implore you, please do not use unprofessional commentary on my page, it is neither necessary and is highly uncivilized behavior. In case you haven't realized, many societies have "selected" against aggressive traits in favor of more docile and intelligent individuals which is why we keep our worst criminals behind bars in jail. Your comments are not constructive! If you have some opinions or questions and would like to engage in constructive dialogue I would be happy to do that. Besides, the principles of Freedom of Speech apply here on Wikipedia! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.68.251.209 (talk) 23:24, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there some sort of problem with the creation of this article? You haven't left me any clear reason as to why this article has been redirected.

I'm not exactly sure what standards to follow here, as there are four NHL mascots who have their own page, as does Coco (the Hershey mascot). Could you clarify this matter?

Stephene Moore

Don't give me orders as if you own the article as you did here: Example of ArglebargleIV's dogmatic attitude. You don't own the article and Wikipedia is not censored. The information is notable and presented in a NPOV manner. If you feel that a citation is required then you should go get a citation of mark for a citation needed. But simply deleting the information is not appropriate and your attitude where you indicate that you will remove it over and over again violates Wikipedia. You should review the rules of Wikipedia again before you start to edit again.--InaMaka (talk) 01:48, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stephene Moore

Responding to comment you left at my talk page :

Wikipedia is not censored, true -- but it is EDITED. As an editing decision, I believe that 5 separate sentences for 5 separate opinions is piling on and coatracking, and is not needed to get the point across -- furthermore, if you can't be bothered to provide references for the readers of the article, why should what you say is "truth" stay in at all? You are amazingly fast to cry "Ownership!" and "Censorship!" when anybody disagrees with any of your editing decisions. Perhaps you should review Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, especially the ones on verifiability and assuming good faith from those you (all too often!) perceive as your opponents. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 01:58, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the above comment was originally posted on InaMaka's talk page, and copied here by him. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 02:12, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. You removed information where you could have found citations for it. Also, you eventually found one of the citations. Also, you could have edited the five sentences before but you chose to delete the information instead of edit it. So your comment where you capitalize "EDITED" has lost its meaning because you did not "EDIT". There so we have covered that.--InaMaka (talk) 02:02, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Remember you are the person that added the phrase "dumb bitch" in the Carrie Prejean article like five times. You are the LAST person to give anyone a lecture on editing behavior. Thank you very much.--InaMaka (talk) 02:05, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Keith Springer

The article Keith Springer has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable financial advisor. No notable reference on the subject himself.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Edcolins (talk) 20:28, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Keith Springer for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article Keith Springer, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Edcolins (talk) 11:43, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About the Fahrenheit

In my edits, which were mainly aimed towards fixing some of the tremendous bias found in Wikipedia, i removed the mention of Fahrenheit because it's clearly aimed at the very small minority of people in the world who still use this system. I assumed that Wikipedia is shouldn't be biased towards a single part of the world and that any bias was not intentional (and that efforts were being made to counter that bias) but i now i realize that it's a policy(!) to be biased towards US readers. Editors don't seem to think that maybe the Chinese measurements should be mentioned, which are used by more people than the inch. Even in articles dealing with ancient parts of the world not populated by white people no one would suggest mentioning the Hindu calendar, but god forbid an American reader wouldn't see his customary units appear on every single goddamn article. Of course I'm not suggesting we mention every single form of measurement in existence, but having Fahrenheit use as a policy is IMO a very bad case of institutionalized bias in Wikipedia and that saddens me a great deal.--Macarenses (talk) 09:38, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NASA, India - Copyrighted Content

The content that was removed as copyright violation was actually being changed and updated to what is generally accepted as Wikipedia standards. If you had read them you would have seen that only few lines were available at the NASA official site and the content was being developed. Especially the part wit administration and convention details were all being developed. The references to these events are youtube videos and newspaper articles, which would have been added later on. The page was being modified continuously for the last 24 hours - there are still a lot more changes to do and add. Please reconsider or help me at this point. 19:23, 25 December 2010 (UTC) ScalebelowScalebelow

Most of that content was being changed. But anyway, can I get those written paragraphs back with wiki formatting from somewhere - or is that it, is your deletion final? Scalebelow (talk) 19:27, 25 December 2010 (UTC) Scalebelow[reply]

Circle of Fifths

The link I added to the Circle of Fifths page and which you deleted claiming that "wikipedia is not a collection of links or a space for advertising or promotion", is not advertising or promotion. Yes, the link points to a website I created which serves the purpose of helping to promote music language. I made the choice of giving these files away for free so that everyone can access them. If you insist on removing my link then you clearly are not interested in promoting free knowledge which is one if not the most important aspect of Wikipedia. The link points to the whole website and not to a single file because that's just the way the site was built. This doesn't make it SPAM like you commented when you reverted my post.

Please restore my Edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Pre-Islamic Arabia with this edit. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

I did give a reason, stating that the section was incorrect and the reasons why. But if you want to ignore it. That is your business. You are keeping an incorrect statement in the article if you ignore it.

The reason was this: 15:12, 1 July 2011 2.97.44.123 (talk) (29,904 bytes) (Section is wrong so must be removed.No source says where Akkadians came from.And Amorites lands are said to be syria and cannan not Arabia.Amorite language was presumably a northwest Semitic dialect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorite#Origin)

Akkadians coming from Arabia

The section says the Akkadians came from Arabia. I have been reading the Akkadians page and pages about the Akkadians and Mesopotamia today. There is no source which mentions the Akkadians place of origin. And so there is no source saying the Akkadians come from Arabia.

The section is trying to claim relation between the Arabs and Akkadians. When there is no source for this.

The section has to be removed. But as an administrator for wikipedia you can prevent removal and keep incorrect information there if you wish to let people claim this relationship between Arabs and Akkadians, when there is no evidence that any relationship exists. Both people are semetic. But Semetic is a big family and were all over the middle east, and that does not include only Arabia.

And most near eastern semetic people from the fertile crescent are related more closely to non Semetic speaking near easterners like Iranians, Anatolians, and Caucasians. Then they are to Arabs.

See this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic#Ethnicity_and_race

"The studies attribute this correlation to a common Near Eastern origin, since Semitic-speaking Near Easterners from the Fertile Crescent (including Jews) were found to be more closely related to non-Semitic speaking Near Easterners (such as Iranians, Anatolians, and Caucasians) than to other Semitic-speakers (such as Gulf Arabs, Ethiopian Semites, and North African Arabs)"

Therefore it is more likely that Akkadians were more close to begin with, with Sumerians or any other area, west, north, or east of them, than they were with Arabia to the south.

Amorites coming from Arabia

I already gave the reasons and a link to a source to backup the reason, in the editing comment.

Did you check the editing comment at all?

Please revert my edit. Which I gave clear reasons for, you can check them with the links I provided in the reason. And they are correct. Thank you.

Modified speedy deletion rationale on Alpha delta chapter of alpha tau omega

Hi, the custom speedy deletion rationale you placed on Alpha delta chapter of alpha tau omega ("Individual chapters of fraternities are rarely notable organizations in a Wikipedia sense; examining this article, this doesn't seem to be an exception.") is not a valid one under A7, as an article need only make a credible claim of notability to pass A7, and being a chapter of a notable organization is a credible claim. Note that claiming notability and establishing notability are two different things, and your rationale for deletion is valid for prod and/or AfD.

That being said, I came across this article yesterday at Alpha Delta Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega (note the capitalization difference). It was speedied as a copyright infringement, and this article is identical to the one that was deleted. I have modified the CSD rationale accordingly.

Adapted military service

===== Regarding deletion of the page 16:36, 7 December 2011 (UTC) =====

Dear ArglebargleIV, I'm sorry for this deletion, if my page creation (Adapted military service) was unappropriate. The creation of this page was led by three reasons :

Someone requested the translation on the discussion page of the french article (see the link to see the translation request)
I thought I was the suitable person to provide the translation since I work for the Adapted military service (Paris headquarters)
Actually, I was given the order by the Brigadier general commanding the Adapted military service, who wanted to see how the unit was described on Wikipedia and asked me how to create the english article, and link the french article to the english article. I just obeyed the order.

I'm sorry if my action was unappropriate and would like to ask you what would make this article acceptable : is it a matter of proper categorizing or providing a different writing style ? Respecting the rules and guidelines would help me to fulfill the general's request in cumpliance with the level of quality expected for Wikipedia articles. In advance, I thank you for your help.
