Re: Theodore Roosevelt edit

Hello – thanks for the message. I haven't added any 'stupid things' to this article. I'm an administrator here, and I have been adding a link to American Bison Society in several articles because it was what we call an orphaned article, one that didn't have many links to it in other articles. Roosevelt did indeed co-found the American Bison Society in 1905. If you don't need to use that content for your project, don't use it.

I urge you to assume good faith when dealing with other editors. It's not a good idea to tell others they're adding 'stupid things' to articles. I've added the sentence back to the article; please do not remove it again without verifiable, reliable sources to the contrary. Thanks. - KrakatoaKatie 11:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
