Hi, I think I know that name... I have been trying to clean up Animal cognition and would welcome some help! See its talk page. seglea 22:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- I think it's a great idea to get the CO3 community involved with keeping Animal cognition correct and uptodate. I shan't be there myself this year (clashes with various things) - would you be able to bring it up? seglea 23:55, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you erase ABA can cure autism.
a) I added a ref tag that leaded to the website saying that, the first person who invented Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), cured dozens of kids and was very successful. My son had autism until he was 5, he had no language, had motor skills, constant tantrums/meltdowns, avoided eye contact, he would cry when the motor in the back of the car would star it would hurt his ears — Sensory Issues, he had trauma, sleeping problems etc. He had an ABA Home-Instructed Program, it turned out very succesful, he gained his language, and no longer had autism, he is a pre-teen now and goes to a special-ed school for the IQ of average or above, he is functioning now. And another kid had a different early intervetion program that he got better from. So I know this for a fact. It even said it on the article, but doesn't mean every person with autism could get better from it through early intervention, not with severe autism. People are still caught up with the scientific studies 30-years-ago, tons of PHD's told me about this, it said 30-years-ago kids with autism could not get better from it, but recent studies showed that many kids with milder autism got better from it. So could you please revert my edit.
b) nothing with cured should be there "cure" means healed from being sick, it should say "no longer has."

- Hi, thanks for the message. You will note that on the autism page the term 'management' is used rather than cure. It is pretty well accepted that the disorder has no cure. However, it can be managed. (Of course the degree of management depends on the severity). Secondly, your edit was really not in the correct section, it should have been in the 'management' section. Finally, and please do not take this the wrong way, the English was very poor. You also used 'kids' rather than 'children' which is a little colloquial for an encyclopedia. Finally, a website is not the same as a peer reviewed scientific article (though it seems you had added two references, one of them peer reviewed, I have not read that article). BTW, I too have a son with autism, he is 6. I also have a PhD in psychology. Your point on the word 'cure' is interesting. I guess that implies disease, and I prefer the term disorder, that said, it does not change the reality that we have kids with autism.Dbrodbeck (talk) 02:38, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I think you misunderstood one of the things I said, I was trying to make a point that you can get completely better from autism, my son does not have autism anymore he had it until he was 5, ABA helped him, he is high fuctioning now. So I am saying that children with not so severe autism can get completely better from it, through Early Intervention, and let me give you an example of what I ment by cure, "A disorder can't be cured — Cured means no longer sick, but it could be that he/she no longer have it. So can that be changed about scientific studies - no cure, to say they beleived autism was only severe 30-years-ago, but now studies show you can get completely better from it.AnnieTigerChucky 00:00, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- If you can find a peer reviewed journal article that shows this I encourage you to add it to the page and see how other editors feel. Or, perhaps, put it on the talk page for autism for inputl. Dbrodbeck 03:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
What is a peer viewed journal article? AnnieTigerChucky 13:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Peer Review is a process that ensures the accuracy of scientific papers. It involves experts in a field looking at a manuscript before it is published and them finding any flaws, faults etc. It is a standard thing with scientific articles.Dbrodbeck 15:36, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
The only thing is scientist say there is no cure, I refer to call it "completely better", and scientist don't explain it clear enough they are trying to say that you can't get completely better from the "Autistic Spectrum", but not necessarily "autism", but the spectrum. The truth is scientist do not know enough information about autism compared to a certified analysis who works with the kids through Early Childhood Intervention, they know so much about autistic's brains but so little about how they think and process things is the problem, that's why this is very tricky to find a peer viewed article that explains this, but I will continue to do so. AnnieTigerChucky (talk) 22:28, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Take Temple Grandin as an example, she had autism when she was very young but got completely better from autism but not the "autistic spectrum", she has Aspergers Syndrome now. AnnieTigerChucky (talk) 22:33, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I know about Temple Grandin, she actually works in the same field that I do. I am not sure what 'scientist don't explain it clear enough' means. Dr. Grandin surely still has autism. That said, individual cases are not that useful, controlled studies are what is needed. In science, anecdotes are pretty much useless. Good luck in the article search Dbrodbeck (talk) 13:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] warning vandals
Hey, you may want to consider warning the vandals whose edits you revert. See here. Enigma msg! 22:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, nice resource, I always forget howw to do it, I watch a few pages, but typically when I am reading something that has been vandalized I fix it. That said I think I have warned people maybe twice.... Again, thanks. Dbrodbeck (talk) 22:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Dan Brodbeck
A tag has been placed on Dan Brodbeck requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ziggy Sawdust 19:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Dan Brodbeck, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
- and you must always:
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 20:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 20:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

- I am doing my best to be exceedingly careful. I have also noted up front on the talk page, my relationship to Dan Brodbeck. I have tried my best to be NPOV in the article. As noted on the talk page, it seemed there were a number of redlinks to Dan Brodbeck. I am not him though, I hope that is clear. Dbrodbeck (talk) 20:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for the assist on my homepage. I'd dislike to take this fellow to AN/I, but it sure seems like it's headed that way. RGTraynor 12:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Jacques Parizeau article
The main word mostly used is sovereignist, not separatist. Separatist is consided as a prejorative word. And writting sovereignist instead of separation is not propaganda like you said, because it IS the most comonly used term to describe those who wants Quebec to become an independant state. Please stop changing the edits that I made —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.225.164 (talk) 02:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- First off, please consider registering an account. Oh and also please sign your posts. You have made a series of edits changing 'Canadian' to 'Quebec' so it is hard to assume good faith on your part.I will, on the Parizeau article go with the consensus. That said, your other edits give me pause. I also wonder how a rather clear word like separatist can be considered pejorative, it is a rather descriptive term. Dbrodbeck (talk) 03:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Dude, the concensus in Quebec is the word sovereignist, thats just the way it is. And since Quebecers have been recognized as a nation, even by your parliament, it means that quebec's personalities should be mentioned as such. Saying otherwise just shows that you are racists. English section wikipedia isn't subjected to english canadians vision, especially on articles concerning other cultures and nations.
- Dude, if you don't stop disrupting all those Quebec-related articles? They'll be semi-protected (thus you won't be able to edit them). GoodDay (talk) 17:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
And why don't you stop disrupting all thoses articles with your canadian propaganda. Your edits are not better than mine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.162.191 (talk) 18:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- OK, let's break this down, if my edits are no better than yours, why revert mine? Oh and if a person holds a Canadian passport, they are Canadian, for example. That 'dude' is not propaganda, it is a fact. Dbrodbeck (talk) 20:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I see it's time to start getting those Quebec related articles semi-protected from this anon-vandal. GoodDay (talk) 18:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Updates
Hello Dbrodbeck. I've just requested semi-protection for Jacques Parizeau and Têtes à claques articles. Feel free to makes such requests for any other articles the anon (with he's multiple IP addreses) continues to disrupt. GoodDay (talk) 19:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- How does one do that? I have never requested semi protection before. Dbrodbeck (talk) 20:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
My requests were denied (this time); but the Page to report to is Wikipedia: Request for page protection. PS- Djsasso, has informed me that a 1-week Range block has been handed to the troublesome fella. GoodDay (talk) 22:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I see Wassup54 has gone back to his IP annoying ways (atleast up until May 23) GoodDay (talk) 21:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
