== Stilton ==

So, explain. How do you figure that a single passing reference to a person eating a cheese constitutes stilton having a notable influence on that work? The other examples, that you appear to think are equivalent, are a poem written using stilton, its character and its place of origin as major themes; a significant recurring character in a series of books being named for the cheese; a fragrance designed to evoke the specific scent of the cheese; an entire eposide of a sitcom on a major national TV networked centred around the cheese and its production; and an assessment of the cheese's place in British in British cuisine made by a major cultural commentator of the 20th century. Got to say, the 007 passing reference does look a lot like trivia.

You Again?

Putting that Ivy League education to good use again, I see. Terry Foote (talk) 23:38, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You kinda remind me of this guy

You kinda remind me of this guy. Just replace "Cornell" with "Columbia" and "A Capella" with "Philoexian" and this is you. Come on, you must know that at some Manhattan cocktail party there's someone who has said "if he talks about Columbia or the Philolexian Society one.....more....time..... You and I both know that you work in the publishing industry! Which is it - a publishing house, the NYT? Wikipedia is not a tool for promoting your moribund industry or your friends. And I use the word moribund with a great degree of sadness, as I think the changes have been a net loss for the quality of American journalism and publishing. Some of your edits are quite good - you obviously have a gift with the language and wording, which is often need of correcting on Wikipedia. You're quite welcome to use your gifts in this capacity. How about this for a deal; if you can convince me how your edits are not Deborah Copaken propaganda, I'll let them stand? Terry Foote (talk) 16:12, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sharon Waxman

That was one shocking, utterly lacking in class edit you made, Mr. Philolexian. You do know that by implication in this edit you're defending Weinstein.....and maybe giving away your hand that your employer is the New York Times. It's a very sad state of affairs that someone's $150,000 education in today's dollars at an Ivy League institution is spent making edits of this caliber. Terry Foote (talk) 13:41, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was your edit unbiased?

Does a quote from the NYT about the NYT really have any credibility, particularly in light of this? [1] Just because you want to discredit Waxman's claim doesn't give you any justification for putting this on WP. Terry Foote (talk) 21:02, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting my comment to you doesn't make it any less true. Furthermore, if you really want to be fair and neutral, you must also add this quote in response to your employer's claims about her: "Mr. Weinstein had his own enablers. He built his empire on a pile of positive press clippings that, before the internet era, could have reached the moon.” [The New York Times was one of those enablers. So pardon me for having a deeply ambivalent response about the current heroism of the Times." Your edits have ulterior motives (albeit poorly disguised) and contrary to the interests and purpose of Wikipedia. [2] Terry Foote (talk) 00:39, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
[3] - Breitbart....one of the few things you and I have in common is that we probably both find Bretibart abhorrent. I'll give a big however to this - just as Fidel Castro and the Ho Chi Minh had a large following in part due to the vast excesses of Western capitalism, so too does Breitbart have a significant following because of the excesses of the mainstream media, including and especially the New York Times. My point? American capitalists and the New York Times have no one but themselves to blame for the existence of their enemies. However, in humanity's almost infinite capacity for hubris, I doubt the guilty parties take a deep look at themselves. So, now to my point: what do you think Breitbart would think of the New York Times have someone surreptitiously try to make it look like on the Sharon Waxman article that she didn't have a story about Harvey Weinstein and the New York Times? That sounds like nice, juicy Breitbart red meat, to me. Do you understand now just how much worse you're making things for yourself and your benefactor? Sorry to put it so bluntly, but you suck at the game you're playing - University of Alabama 156, Columbia 0. If you're going to continue editing, can you please work on making yourself a little less obvious, a bit more subtle - it takes the challenge out keeping the Vandals and Visigoths from sacking Wikipedia. Take it easy, Terry Foote (talk) 12:14, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I get it

Let's see, you make a simple, proper, uncontroversial edit every 5 or 6 days in the hope I'll eventually forget. Then, when your benefactor needs some SEO by having a link to their article on Wikipedia, or you need to put your benefactor's slant into an article, you can put one in with impunity. You've stepped up your game a bit, but this ain't gonna happen. Do I have to come right out and tell you how to cover your tracks better? Terry Foote (talk) 14:26, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
