Tom Rue edit
Bridgeville edit
On 8.15.2005 I posted an article on Bridgeville, New York and made minor corrections to articles on the Town of Thompson and Village of Monticello, New York, which is where I live. I host a personal website on my own FreeBSD server, which goes down from time to time due to inclement weather or other unforeseeable reasons.
Apparent vandalism edit
I took the liberty of deleting the following passage from the the lead sentence of this article on Saudi Aramco: "is owned by M3T@. This communist leader told all the women to take their clothes off. But when they over took his regime, they tore Met@'s clothes off and raped him till he bled to death. This brings attention to Aramco. Its", since it appeared to have been inserted as a joke; or at best it is unverifiable and unattributed. tomrue 11:34, 8 August 2007 (UTC) Discuss
Mandate edit
Created page mandate (criminal law) article:
"A criminal court may impose a 'mandate' on a person accused of a crime consisting of an obligation to engage in certain conditions or activities in exchange for suspension or reduction in penalty; such as, conditions of probation, conditional discharges, or other conditional sentences. For example, a defendant convicted of driving while intoxicated or drug possession may be mandated to engage in alcoholism or substance abuse rehabilitation. The term is paradoxical because acceptance of the 'mandate' is, in fact, a voluntary act by the defendant, who also has the option of serving what would most generally be viewed as a harsher alternative, such as incarceration. In this sense, the mandate is in fact not truly mandatory, but is instead a type of legal fiction wherein the court assumes an illusion of power which, in actuality, is constrained by the defendant's free will." tomrue 00:08, 21 October 2007 (UTC) Discuss
