Edit summaries...[edit]

When making edits, don't forget to include an edit summary. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, can you find some other sources on the Byrd quotes? They should definatley be in the article, but message forums are not considered acceptible for sourcing on Wikipedia. See here. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The references[edit]

Thanks for adding the refences. I don't mean to be so controlling of the article, but as you can imagine, it is often trolled by lefties seeking to apologize for his shameful KKK actions and righties seeking to bash away at him for no reason other than him being a Dem. I just want to keep it fair, accurate, and reflective of his good and his bad. Anyway, good work. If you ever need any help, just ask. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 20:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Attorneygate[edit]

Well, I posted on the talk page, which is enough and more than what you did. On the other hand, I do find it funny that you called Time magazine partisan hacks.[1] We know where you stand in this article. C56C 18:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:RibbonMilOSVolunSvcMedal.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:RibbonMilOSVolunSvcMedal.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Al Franken BLP[edit]

Actually, their removal of the information is permissible if it is not supported by the citation in question, Rachel Stassen-Berger's article. I have not been able to verify this yet, but if the article does say the things you claim it does, you should bring quotes to the talk page, as DavidShankBone asked you to do in this edit summary. — coel acan — 16:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cheney[edit]

You're confusing 107th Congress H.R. 333 with 110th Congress H.RES. 333. There's also an unrelated 110th Congress H.R. 333, just in case it needed to be more confusing. — coel acan — 18:54, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nix[edit]

You moved the article Nix to Nix (water creatures) in April. This appears to have caused several double redirects as there are lots of links to Nix. There is already a disambiguation page called Nix (disambiguation). The "Nix" page could include a header note indicating that it related to 'water creatures', but for other uses see "Nix (disambiguation)". -- MightyWarrior 11:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Silent Partner, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Silent Partner. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. -- Whpq 18:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Alexander Graham Bell[edit]

Hi. Thanks for your edit to Alexander Graham Bell, but the external site to which you linked is in fact a mirror of the Wikipedia article: a circular reference in fact. See also WP:EL. All the best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 13:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fulbright Gaza reference[edit]

Hello Hughey- The Fox News article that you are keen to have referenced in the Fulbright article is about a plot to kill Tony Blair. That's why I replaced it with the NY Times one, which specifically covers the Gaza Strip incident. The Fox article only mentions the convoy attack in the last paragraph. While the sentence Since that incident no American officials are supposed to go into Gaza. supports your American officials don't have access to Gaza statement, the Fox wording is vague. It does not state who says officials aren't "supposed" to enter Gaza. In any case, I'm not even sure the Fulbright article's short history section needs a paragraph devoted to a car bombing in the Gaza Strip and its Fulbright-related consequences. -Eric ^talk 17:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that both the Time's reference and Fox's are needed. The Fox reference showed that American officials are not supposed to be Gaza, which is very relevent to the Fulbright Program. The Time's article, that you supplied was, helpful in that it showed who actually was killed and injured. The Fulbright Program is an American institution. If Americans get killed trying to access Gaza citezens then everyone suffers. Hughey (talk) 18:08, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understood your reason for using the Fox reference. The point I was trying to make is that the Fox article cites no source or authority that decrees or advises against American officials entering Gaza. Person X "isn't supposed" to do thing Y is not journalistic or encyclopedic language. That's what I meant by saying that the Fox assertion was vague. A good journalist would cite an authority for such a statement. An example of a better reference would be: Since this incident, Authority X has prohibited Persons Y from doing Thing Z. On the relevance topic, the point I was trying to make was that in a 270-word synopsis of the history of the Fulbright program, I'm not convinced that one quarter of it needs to be devoted to single car-bombing incident in the Gaza Strip. -Eric ^talk 19:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Affleck salary[edit]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Ben Affleck. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. This is a wholly unreliable source, and even if a RS is found for his salary, putting it where you did is classic synthesis, POV, and not acceptable. Discuss on article talk if you disagree, but please don't reinstate in that location. Tvoz/talk 06:02, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
