I removed your entry of Shannen Doherty in List of notable people diagnosed with Crohn's disease. The source you mentioned was answers.com, a mirror of wikipedia. One can't use wikipedia as a references in another article. Cheers, Garion96 (talk) 02:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Source seems good to me. Thanks, Garion96 (talk) 15:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Zogby poll

in the 911 conspiracy article you wrote about the Zogby poll. I think this should not be mentioned at this point because the question posed is so vague: it does not discern between cover-up and complicity. Wikipedia is not for debating, it is for presenting the facts. The Zogby facts stand for themselves, and should be in a seperate section. Agree? — Xiutwel (talk) 08:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

• The wording of the poll question sucks, no doubt. And creationism puts up good numbers too - so I'm not prepared to have everything settled by a popularity contest. But especially given the perjorative flavor of "conspiracy theory", I think it's important to establish that we're not talking flat-earth numbers here. I like where you've moved it though - not just better NPOV but improves organization. Thanks. Ribonucleic 15:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Cat Cora

I was just curious what might have drawn them to your attention - since your contribution history doesn't suggest an emphasis on the culinary.

Snort. I have over 10,000 edits, so trust me, there's a lot of culinary edits in there (like Ken Hom, Ruth Reichl, Michael Ruhlman, and Chez Panisse -- note the photo). Hell, I've even dined at an Iron Chef restaurant (Massa, in Tokyo).

In any case, I stumbled over the Juliette Rossant article, which led me to the now-deleted Super chef article and to Celebrity chef (which she was trying to hijack to promote her book), and a mare's nest of spamlinks to numerous chef articles. The spamlinks occasionally crop up, and I squash them when I find them, that's all. --Calton | Talk 02:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

NPA on Military Commissions Act of 2006

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. .

So, whats the lesson? No more of this. Toodles. Torturous Devastating Cudgel 17:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the repeat -- I don't know the protocol here, just an observer, but in reading this far -- and after your comment, Ribonucleic, to whit, "The pattern of your zealous contributions here makes it clear that this bothers in you some way. But I respectfully invite you to deal with it." Ribonucleic 20:09, 19 October 2006 (UTC)3, and particularly because TDC knows IP manipulation, perhaps this link may be an explanation: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/october2006/171006enemypropagandists.htm

LInking to attack pages

Please don't link to attack pages as you did here. If this happens again, I will block you from editing.--MONGO 00:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

March 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, an article you recently created, The True Adonis, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 21:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Bodybuilder picture

It's impossible to "prove" any one bodybuilder has never used steroids. However based on the comments of the person who the picture is of, It's up to wikipedia standards and the picture will remain. Please don't remove it again or I will be forced to notify an admin.Wikidudeman ^(talk) 01:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

You are absolutely cracking me up! Queerbubbles (talk) 18:10, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Bratton remark

The article will hardly stand or fall on its inclusion. But it is no more gossipy than the rest of the paragraph. Either delete it all, let it stand, or provide a different justification. Ribonucleic (talk) 20:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Does it add anything more than what we already have? IMO, no even if we include Lohan's reply. As a result it should be purged on those grounds. Tabercil (talk) 21:24, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

And Ribonucleic, please read the lengthy and heated RfC above [on the Lohan talk page]. A difficult consensus was finally achieved, and you should not tinker with it according to your whims without getting a change in consensus. So please feel free to discuss here [on the Lohan talk page], but do not continue to revert unless there is a change in consensus here. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 22:12, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Usain Bolt

Hi there! I reverted your edit on the article because Olympic and World records are very different. Very often the world record is not set at the Olympics and thus two different people with different times hold each record. Cheers. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 19:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of a book by Rawles

Sir: You may recall an AfD discussion last year for James Wesley Rawles. (The result was keep.) Well, now a wiki article on one of his books has been AfDed. Your sage comments, one way or the other, would be appreciated.

Rand Paul

Do you have an explanation for this?[1]--Cube lurker (talk) 17:07, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

You seem to have gone offline, but I'm raising the issue at WP:ANI#BLP_vandalism_by_longtime_editor.--Cube lurker (talk) 17:45, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
