in addition to not being able to count, you seem to prefer biased and slanted information to factual statements.

there is no chance that a member of congress would list these types of "opinions" and "positions" as their own. Something headed as opinions and positions in fact should be from the person themselves. Otherwise they are someone else’s opinions. you are continuing to allow someone to present a false impression of this official. it seems that all the positions he takes are opposing things. rather odd. would you generally say when asked about your positions that you just oppose things? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mm61LV (talk • contribs) 03:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I am not really sure if this is the way to communicate back to you on the post you made to my talk. I have posted a comment at the bias question page which indicates what I think. I did try to change the section and not just delete it. that kept getting undone. so, them I thought it should just be deleted. I don't see how to improve the page unless you let the congressman or other republican's from congress write the positions.

Yankee Doodle Coffee Shop

Hi. I have recently started the article Yankee Doodle Coffee Shop. Since you are listed in the category Yale Alumni, I thought you might be interesting in contributing to the article. Thanks. Yilloslime (t) 22:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Arizona License Plates

I noticed you changed the entry for Arizona license plates. I live in Arizona and have only seen 2 license plates in the ABC1234 format, both in the last week. Yes technically you are correct that it is the current series but 99%+ of people who live in Arizona will think you are wrong. The 1980 series maroon plates AAA-001 to NZZ-999 are still valid but no longer issued. The 1997 series current plates 001-AAA to 999-ZZZ are also still valid. Until more plates are issued people are just going to think you are wrong and probably continue to "correct" this entry. By the way the 1973 series PAA-001 to WAS something? plates are no longer valid. Skywayman (talk) 11:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The Westminster Schools

Hello former Buckhead resident. Back in December, you tagged some sections on the article The Westminster Schools as needing cleanup. Since the Manual of Style is terribly long, I was wondering if you could give me some more specific ideas on how to do some such cleanup.--Randnotell (talk) 19:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks much.Randnotell (talk) 00:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

State plate articles

I noticed two new state specific plate articles today - Vehicle registration plates of New York and Vehicle registration plates of New Jersey. They seem to be a bit of a mess and someone went and did this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vehicle registration plates of New York. I did a bit of cleanup on them, but they need some more work! Can you help? --Plate King (talk) 01:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Blagging

A blag is a blag be it photos or words. In this case it is both. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Battersea Bosco (talk • contribs) 01:50, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Blagging

You do not know what blagging is? You must be a Yank! A blag is when villains steal something. Never seen The Sweeney? We get American programmes here, guess you never had the pleasures of seeing Jack Regan and the Ford Granada. They had several series of it and some films. The brilliant Life on Mars was based on it, but that was only two series plus the spin off show Ashes to Ashes which just had its first series end last week. Both are cracking programmes. You poor Americans and your rubbish telly! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Battersea Bosco (talk • contribs) 01:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Campbell Showing

Campbell Showing made the following comment in the NY plate article deleting fourm [1]: "This is important historical information that needs to be aggregated and not left behind paywalls. Information is meant to be free! Plus anything that screws with those ALPCA bastards is a good thing." I hate to sound like someone on a witch hunt, but they sound like someone who might have taken the information from ALPCA and posted it on here using a second account. If there is a way of checking things perhaps it should be done. But the comment and what has just happened seems to raise some red flags for me. --Plate King (talk) 02:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

15q.net photos

I created a Wikipedia Commons account and I think I tagged all of the photos from there. --Plate King (talk) 18:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Plate articles

Plate articles should be standardised with the current type of used plates being shown first, as this is the most important information. This should be done in a standardised fashion making all articles look the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bolly Nickers (talk • contribs) 21:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Please keep the past the past and the present the present

Please do not mix past plates with current plates. It just causes confusion. The currently issued plate should be shown first, as that is the most important, then in another section below the past can be dealt with. You have caused me a lot of work with your thoughtlessness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bolly Nickers (talk • contribs) 21:35, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

YOU MADE THINGS CONFUSING

You made things confusing I tried to make them simple. You apparently do not understand how things flow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bolly Nickers (talk • contribs) 22:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Confusing

You want to make things confusing for some reason. The most important thing is to have the most recent information about the most recent number plates first in a way that does not confuse it with older number plates. It is quite simple and if the information is repeated again elsewhere so be it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bolly Nickers (talk • contribs) 22:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

It does

It does. Otherwise it provides a bad model for other American states which offer a myriad of optional number plates. Florida is probably the worst offender here. This way we have a template for other American number plate articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bolly Nickers (talk • contribs) 22:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

License plate frenzy

Since you seem to be dealing with Bolly Nickers most of the time, I left this message on his talk page:

I know nothing about license plates, nor do I care, I'm just on vandal patrol. And you caught my attention because you delete massive amounts of data from articles. You're obviously not a vandal (don't get me wrong) but I would suggest you get some sort of discussion or concensus going on the appropriate article's Talk pages before you make such huge cuts. Otherwise people will just revert them and all your work will be in vain. Take care, Channel ® 23:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC) /  Channel ®    23:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Just warned Bolly to slow down NOW. I think your request for mediation is very valid.  Channel ®    23:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

State plate articles

I'd be in favor of keeping all the current info, regardless of plate type, on one page. Since it can be pretty long and involved, it does make a bit of sense to have all the historic stuff on its own page. It is probably best to seperate these now rather than later. --Plate King (talk) 00:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Request for mediation not accepted

A Request for Mediation to which you were are a party was not accepted and has been delisted. You can find more information on the case subpage, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Vehicle registration plates of Georgia (U.S. state). For the Mediation Committee, WjBscribe 02:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

It makes sense

Yes it does make sense to have one article for the current types of plates and one for the older plates. A lot of these plate articles are big messes. I just finished sorting out Georgia. --Kitsap Beach (talk) 15:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
