[edit] Thanks for being the expert on homeopathy

Thanks for your help. It's nice when someone else steps up to the plate and bats when someone who is supposedly an expert refuses to play. I guess he just can't deal with uncomfortable answers. I've noticed that he is equally evasive towards other editors who ask uncomfortable questions. I have commented here. -- Fyslee / talk 16:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What is wrong with this reference?

Brunton, Edmund Smith was also known as a homeopathic physician. I'm not clear what was wrong with the reference that I provided. You questioned it here: [1] Here's solid evidence that he was a homeopath; this shows that he was a member of the British Homeopathic Society [2] Because this is a minor point, can I ask you to make this change? As you may know, I cannot at present do editing on homeopathy pages, and although this hasn't been deemed as such, I would rather not edit here. DanaUllman^Talk 04:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] In-vitro homeopathic research and replications

I can email you that this article, but you haven't hooked up your email. If you email me (I'm hooked up), I'll send it. DanaUllman^Talk 03:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

You said it was available online. Couldn't you just post the link so that everyone involved in the homeopathy talk page can see it? Brunton (talk) 09:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

My error. I thought it was available online but it isn't (without payment). My offer still stands. DanaUllman^Talk 16:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Homeopathy Arbitration

Per [3]

I'd be willing to believe that was a misreading if Ullman's quote of Scientizzle didn't remove six words that change the meaning.

He quotes Scientizzle as saying "I am not as against the inclusion of homeopathy information as others here...Assuming the case for this being a remedy of note is solid, I support a simple inclusion that directs the reader to List of homeopathic preparations, which is an appropriate place to deal with the topic.... I can't see the published state of the research--i.e., Frass et al, & nothing else--meriting more than a minimalist "it's use has been investigated to treat COPD symptoms." then adds "It is interesting how you chose to not give the entire quote from your posting at that same time."

However, the actual quote is:

I am not as against the inclusion of homeopathy information as others here...Assuming the case for this being a remedy of note is solid, I support a simple inclusion that directs the reader to List of homeopathic preparations, which is an appropriate place to deal with the topic. (Even at List of homeopathic preparations, I can't see the published state of the research--i.e., Frass et al, & nothing else--meriting more than a minimalist "it's use has been investigated to treat COPD symptoms.[ref]" statement)

There is no way that that's a misreading - he had to intentionally edit out words to change the meaning, at the same time as berating Scientizzle for not giving the whole quote. That's outright trolling. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 10:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] J.B. Hutto

Hi, I saw that you had made some edits to this article within the last year. Unfortunately, it was brought to my attention that the article had earlier been a copyright violation, so I reverted back to the pre-copyvio version. This has had the unfortunate effect of removing your subsequent edits, so I thought I would let you know that you might want to rewrite them, or expand the article. Best regards, — BillC ^talk 14:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Benjamin Hutto

Hi Brunton, thanks for the heads-up. I took a look the contribution history of who'd amde that edit; he seemed to have gone on a spree of copyright violations (and bad edits) a little over a year ago before ceasing editing altogether. Most were caught and reverted, but you found one that hadn't. I went through the remainder of his article-space edits and those which weren't reverted were Corporate performance management, Camarines, God of War II, and Making Globalization Work. Some of those have since been so heavily edited that it is not really practical to revert, and besides, there is very little of his material left in them. I'll have a look at these if there's anything that can be done.

Your edit is fine; there is no need to contact the three intervening editors in this case.

Is J.B. Hutto better known by his initials? Like A. A. Milne? I'm only asking because a biographical article would normally have a person's proper name (i.e Joseph Hutto) unless they are better known by their initials -- such as A. A. Milne or e. e. cummings. If so, and you decide you want to rename the article, this is easily done by a move.

[edit] Johnny Young

Hi... sorry for the delay -- currently working overseas. I would have said Johnny Young (blues musician) seemed more in line with convention, but I wouldn't worry about it at all. The redirects are in place, so your all bases are covered. (From my last sentence, you may be able to guess where I now am.) — BillC ^talk 13:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
