Gabrielle Giffords[edit]

There are many methods to contact a user. You can click on the "talk" button attached to my signature, or you can click on the "discussion" page at the top of the Gabrielle Giffords article. That is the most appropriate place to discuss this, and that's why I told you to check the talk page in my last edit summary. Click here if you can't find it. In the future, it is by far preferred to make all of your changes in one edit, and if necessary use the "show preview" button to see how the changes look, instead of making dozens of small edits. Thanks! johnpseudo 21:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, regarding your recent edit-summary comments "John Psuedo deletes my articles as I am editing the page. I am abiding by WP guidelines, but I cannot complete the discussion if JP continues to remove the content during the editing process." You should not rely on the ability to make multiple edits in your attempts to improve the article. That is why we have the "show preview" button. You should only make an edit if it complies with Wikipedia guidelines, without needing subsequent edits to fix it. johnpseudo 21:46, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What part of the article do you think needs to be credited? Do you work for Wikipedia? Do you work for Gabrielle Giffords? Bobheath 18:03 EDT

I'm just a volunteer editor. Please see WP:AGF regarding your other questions. The appropriate place to discuss changes to the article is at the article's talk page (Talk:Gabrielle Giffords). If you have trouble finding your way there, or editing there, just let me know by leaving another message here. johnpseudo 22:10, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BEFORE making any further changes, PLEASE contribute to the discussion on the article's talk page. Contributing to Wikipedia is a collaborative process. johnpseudo 22:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not about H-1B visas. While it is appropriate to mention the controversy over the visas briefly, insofar as she has promulgated the proposed expansion of them, the majority of encyclopedic discussion of the issue belongs in the H-1B visa article itself, not the biography of Gabrielle Giffords.

Wikiquette alert[edit]

I've added an entry here: Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#Difficult_communication_on_Gabrielle_Giffords to get some help jump-starting our dialog on Gabrielle Giffords. Please use the talk page to reach a consensus instead of edit-warring with me. johnpseudo 23:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

JohnPsuedo needs to come clean on who he is. He is destroying totally legitimate information about the H1B visa and Gabrielle Giffords proposal on legislation raising the cap on H1b Visas. JohnPseudo has totally denuded the content with his heavy handed approach. - Bob Heath

This is about following Wikipedia policy. You can't inject your own opinion into Wikipedia articles without referencing reliable sources- sources that support your opinions, and even then, it is Wikipedia policy to present a Neutral point-of-view. johnpseudo 23:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please remain Civil. In your continued allegations [1] [2] [3] [4] that I am not acting in good faith, you are violating wikipedia policy. This is a warning. johnpseudo 23:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am civil. Please ask JohnPsuedo to stop vandalizing the two paragraphs describing Gabrielle Giffords bill HR6530. Thank you - Bob Heath

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 19:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
