editThank you for experimenting with the page United States Secretary of Defense on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Bearian (talk) 13:58, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
July 2: Hi CKill1480, I'm a freelance sports journalist who has written for Sports Illustrated, The Miami Herald and others. I loved your Tim Howard. Secretary of Defense edit and was hoping to conduct a quick interview with you about it -- where you watched the game, why you wrote that, if you've ever done any funny edits like that before, etc. I'm at richardjrico@gmail.com or twitter.com/rjrico62. I already talked to the guy who did the "John Brooks is the greatest American since Abe Lincoln" two weeks ago and think it can be a fun piece. All the best. Also, if you'd prefer to remain anonymous, that's totally fine. Just please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjrico62 (talk • contribs) 21:02, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Were you the guy who said that Tim Howard was the Secretary of Defense?
editHi, I just got a report that you edited the Secretary of Defense page on July 1, 2014. Around that time, that page was vandalized when someone said that Tim Howard was our Secretary of Defense. Were you the guy who did it? If you did it, admit that it was you and apologize to the entire Wikipedia community or face the consequences. It may have been a joke to you, but to the Wikipedia community, this is considered vandalism. That hoax was on the news. You could be blocked for that. Don't you ever do it again. I'm not intimidating you or being a mini mod. From, 69.112.113.84.
Thank you
editI needed a laugh, and I got it, thank yo CKill, but seriously, the guy made a joke, for all those saying its vandalism, and he should be banned or blockedd for this, lighten up! It was a funny joke, so many people enjoyed it and you all should too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.238.221.148 (talk) 17:07, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
- I disagree. This is an encyclopedia and vandalism degrades it. There are an unlimited number of places on the internet to praise your favorite athlete in any way you want. This is not the place for it. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:11, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
