How is it that I have so many edits to the German WP? I don't speak enough German to attempt an edit there. And all the edits listed seem to be in English. Can someone explain this to me? Dismas|(talk) 02:04, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you! Dismas|(talk) 04:03, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Russell Targ (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I am a physicist who was a pioneer in the development of the laser and laser applications. After weeks of arguing with editors, this phase of my life has been restored to Wikipedia. Good. At the same time my work at SRI has been dubbed "pseudoscience" in the header and leading paragraphs. I am Russell Targ, and together with Dr. Hal Puthoff, we created a 23 year, $20 million program of research and applications of "remote viewing," which allows a person to describe what is happening at a distant location. Now, you don't have to believe that, to follow my argument. But the fact is that we provided useful info for the CIA, Defense Intelligence agency and Army Intelligence for two decades, even though they presently deny it. But that's a different story. If we were not useful, the CIA, who famously don't suffer fools gladly, would not have kept funding us year after year, for 23 years. That's a fact, easily verified. We published our findings in Nature, the Proc. IEEE, and the American Institute of Physics. It is true that remote viewing is controversial, especially among people who hate ESP, and have not read our papers. I have no problem with editors adding mountains of criticism to the comments portion my bio page. The purpose of this note is to start the ball rolling on getting rid of the damaging and personally insulting claim that our work is "pseudoscience". Your definition says that it is misleading, falsehoods, etc. Very bad business, damaging to my on-going consulting. Remote viewing has been replicated world wide, for three decades. The work can be reasonably be considered surprising or controversial or contentious. But it is a lie to call it "pseudoscience". Any informed person would agree. Students are getting PhD's studying remote viewing all over Europe. I am prepared to take all necessary measures public, Internet or private to discover a path to redressing this libel. I am eighty years old, and have both time and inclination to see that this issue is dealt with fairly. For example, a Wiki editor asked me today,(May 11th) to provide additional published references documenting the remote viewing work. I have very poor vision, so it was a very laborious task to add seven or eight Wikipedia formatted citations. Within an hour, they were all gone. And no one will tell my why they removed or where they have gone. I will greatly appreciate your help.

Hello David Biddulph, I was trying to add a photograph to add some illustration content to this page, which I believe is helping to improve the quality of this page.

Please comment at the thread in the title. I think that we have original synthesis in the article, but somebody else disagrees. Avpop (talk) 12:38, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
14:46, 12 May 2014 (UTC)14:46, 12 May 2014 (UTC)~~Roberto Good afternoon, a lady of Ivory Coast with cancer leave me a sum of US$ in order to take care for her little son. After having invested more than 25.000 Euro a certain Prof. Kona Alfred, Chairman of Directors of UBA, Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire has started to ask me continuously money to give me the Pin Code of a credit card sent me months ago where the sum left by the lady with cancer (in the meantime she's dead) is filled in. This Professor is asking me a lot of money with the promise to give me the Pin Code in order to withdraw the money and provide for the sustainment of the young boy. But after every of my payments he refuses to give me the Pin Code inventing every time troubles that don't allow him to give me the Pin Code. I suppose it's a clear Fraud and that this professor has nothing to do with the UBA BANK at Abidjan. Please investigate and take him to prison Roberto Dr. Fahlenkamp — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.242.224.17 (talk) 14:46, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Anyone here willing to create a hard redirect from the deleted article Frank Gruber (entrepreneur) to the entry about the company he leads, Tech Cocktail? Back story: he recently approached me about recreating the biographical article and, while I didn't think that was advisable per WP:NOTE, I did think a redirect is appropriate here. I would do so myself, however, anticipating a possible client-consultant relationship in the future, I'd rather ask and see if another editor would agree to create the redirect instead.

Is there a protocol or format for changing an article about a living person who is recently deceased? For example, how do I change the category from living to deceased? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CapitanKirk (talk • contribs) 17:26, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Can i be able to check my contribution on line? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.237.200.120 (talk) 19:45, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Is it possible to reference more than one infobox template so that fields from each can be used together or to include fields which do not exist within the template? For example, I am using Template:Infobox dot-com company but in addition to being a dot com company, it would also be notable to add that it is a venture-capital funded start-up, thus making a field such as the following worth noting |Funding = $1.1M (2013-06) David Condrey (talk) 20:17, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello!
I've been trying to update the page for race-car driver Johnny O'Connell:
As you can see from the talk link, I have provided extensive information responding to the request for citations and verifiable sources, but the page has not been updated. Please advise how I can get the correct information to the right people to update.
Thank you!

The issues surrounding the VA hospitals is one issue, but you should research the length of time it takes to process a claim from the Veteran's Administration. My husband is only one Veteran that has waited for three years to have a claim processed. They send you to Doctors 30 - 40 miles away from your home, they ask for information from the Medical Center you have been attending for care. The VA request all medical records. We have sent the records three times. Veterans are waiting so long that they die before they receive their checks. I feel this is a serious problem, We think it the reason so many of the Veterans are living on the street. They give up because the process takes so long. I think this is another total segment, separate from what the medical centers and hospitals are doing. I worked for 30 years for a large HMO, and you need to add appointments, A.M. and P.M, plus Saturdays and week-ends. Adding more resources to the panel and an Administrator that is watching the wait-list. Well my main problem is the wait time to have claims processed.
