Please check out the article Ethical_challenges_to_autism_treatment -- I'm challenging its neutrality, it needs sources, and I'm proposing merging it back into the Autism_rights_movement. Please provide your thoughts/comments. Josh.Pritchard.DBA (talk) 23:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Autism rights movement

Hi, Q0. I noticed a lot of your recent edits marked as "minor" (see the edit summaries with an m). You might have something set in your preferences which is forcing your edits to be marked as minor, even when they're not? When deleting (rightly) a lot of uncited text, I don't think the edits are supposed to be marked as minor, so you may need to review your preference settings. Keep up the good work; slowly but surely those articles are getting cleaned up and cited, and hopefully future additions will conform to policy. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Actually, I did not have my settings that forces my edits to be marked as minor. I misunderstood the purpose of the 'minor' tag. I had the impression that adding or removing a sentence or two was a 'minor' edit, and in some cases I guess I underestimated the amount I was removing. I recently reread WP:MINOR and now see that even adding or removing one word is usually more than a minor edit, let alone a whole sentence, and that minor edits are edits to change spelling, punctuation, and formatting. It appears that I have incorrectly marked a number of my edits as minor when they are not. In the future, I'll try to be more careful about using the minor tag according to the rules in WP:MINOR. I'm sorry if my incorrect use of the minor tag has caused any confusion. Q0 (talk) 14:04, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Congrats!

[edit] List of fictional characters by IQ

You can't use wikipedia articles as a reference for another wikipedia article! I shall remove the circular references. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 21:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

All the references are to the episodes of the television shows. It is not intended to use the Wikipedia pages as references. It just links to those pages because the articles exist so linking is relavent. Q0 (talk) 21:51, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I've no problem with linking but don't add them using reference tags. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 21:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying I cannot link from within a ref tag? Q0 (talk) 21:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

It does say on Wikipedia:Television episodes:

An actual episode may be used as a source for information about the episode and constitutes a primary source. Such use does not constitute original research if it is used to verify a fact. However, the episode cannot be used to justify an interpretation.

Q0 (talk) 22:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes but although the episode can be used as a primary source, Our article about it can not. Ideally a source should be easily to check. Ideally a link to the television network website that confirms the data if that's possible.Theresa Knott | The otter sank 07:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I never had any intention of using Wikipedia's articles about the television episode as a reference. I only intended to use the television episodes as references. I wrote an explanation on Talk:List_of_fictional_characters_by_IQ. I am having trouble understanding why you think I had ever intended to use the Wikipedia articles about the television episodes as references. Q0 (talk) 08:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Just because you used the reference tags that's all. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 08:38, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I used the reference tags because I intended to use the television episodes as references. I thought that writing the title of the television episode in reference tags was the way to use a television episode as a reference. Is the page sufficient the way it is? Even though they no longer link to the Wikipedia articles about the television episode, they still use ref tags. If not, what am I supposed to do to make it clear that I intend to use the episodes as references and not the articles the episodes as references? Q0 (talk) 08:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the page looks OK now. It's much clearer now IMO. I think you add links to the wikipedia articles , not as part of the reference, but as further info. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 19:41, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
