September 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Orange Mike. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Apologies my connection times out for a minute, This was to be issued with the other. They are low level warnings so read the policies and try to understand why we are here. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 21:54, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As a courtesy to other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your posts on talk pages, user talk pages, and WikiProject pages. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and the date will then be automatically added along with a timestamp when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info, read Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. Zoo Fari 22:05, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hell, I beg your pardon. I didn't attack anyone and I don't need any lessons on etiquette. I read the rules and I didn't violate one of them. Thank you very much. Wikilove to you too! Signed, Rlang5990

Yeah you do need a lesson it would appear. Making comments anda questioning another editor is a personal attack and an assumption of bad faith. WP:NPA, WP:AGF. I would suggest reading them over and trying to understand what they mean as we work here. The actual infraction btw was asking if we all work for Cracker Barrell.

As a Southerner by birth and upbringing, of course I know about Cracker Barrel's history of problems with racial and sexual-orientation discrimnation; heck, in the past I've had to restore some whitewashing edits by people defending the chain. However, to assume that this particular racist went to a CB because he felt more comfortable there is your personal hypothesis, and as such has no place in the article. If a lawsuit were to be filed alleging that this was why the guy was there, and that therefore CB was in part to blame for the incident, then and only then would the incident belong in the article. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:14, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if there has actually been something substantial published in a reliable source, such as the Constitution, tying the incident to Cracker Barrel's history, that would be a whole different matter, and some version of the item could go in the article. Has there actually been anything of substance, or just the usual talk-radio yatter? If there has been, then let's work on getting it in with a solid NPOV, Rlang. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:13, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
