== Not a silly question at all ==

<font color=grey> OK, I apologize for this "silly question," but I feel compelled to ask.  While I was actively editing an article at Wikipedia (a little before 8:00 pm Central Daylight Time) all of the sudden, all the blue Wikipedia "links" became blue and underlined.  OK--silly question time:  Why did this happen?  Was this vandalism?  Or did the Wiki-Administrators order a system-wide change over?  Please tell me what happened, please?  Thank you in advance.  01:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)~

:This happens to me sometimes as well, it's probably a local memory([[RAM]]) problem at your computer. 
It can happen while you are: 
*A) reading a very large article
*B) use several programs at the same 
*C) after the computer has been on for a long time 
*D) a combination of the three. 
You might want to run a anti-virus program, just in case. Computer viruses and other malicious programs can take a big bite of your computers memory. 

Do you still have the same problem or did it go away? --[[Wikipedia:Esperanza|<span style="color:green;">E</span>]][[User:EivindFOyangen|ivind]][[User talk:EivindFOyangen|<sup>t</sup>]][[Special:Emailuser/EivindFOyangen|<sup>@</sup>]][[Special:Contributions/EivindFOyangen|<sup>c</sup>]] 01:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

==About the [[13 Illuminati Bloodlines]] Article==

I know that you have just added some links onto the article. That is good job. Thank you. But the main problem still remains; I need to find people who are experienced with good writing, NPOV, and formatting to write out the best article possible for the 13 Illuminati Bloodlines. I prefer explanations on the history of each bloodline, where they are from, and what each bloodline is currently doing. I hope it is possible for you to help me find good edittors, writers, and administrators who are experienced with Wikipedia, and are able to ensure that the article works out to be the best. It may sound as if though I am not a good writer. I am a good writer, the only problem is that I need the fire to start in order to give me some idea of what to write about. Also - since I already know too much, I may be too biased, so please help me to write the best possible article on Wikipedia - in 3 years - FEATURED ARTICLE! Thanks. --[[User:Xinyu|Lord X]] 17:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[[USer:Xinyu]]


::I need your cooperation in the issue with the vandalism issue.

===216.244.12.76 I need to talk to you===

Hi, I am an administrator, [[User:Xinyu|Xinyu]], and I got a report from ProfesorPaul, about how you've been, "vandalizing" EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF ''[[The Twilight Zone]].'' Discuss your intentions, what you have editted, fixed up, and under what pretext you have for doing so. I need you to tell me all the information you can get, and I promise both you and ProfessorPaul, this problem would be negotiable, once the facts has been laid bare, and then I'll see that NPOV, justice, and peace would be restored on this article. Thank you, please reply on my user TALK page. Thank you. --[[User:Xinyu|Lord X]] 01:36, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[[User:Xinyu]]

This way, we can solve this problem nice and early - in every single talk page where the discussions take place. Thanks for your cooperation. --[[User:Xinyu|Lord X]] 01:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[[User:Xinyu]] 

::ps. that way - we, more specifically I can talk to him one way or another. Thank you. --[[User:Xinyu|Lord X]] 01:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[[User:Xinyu]]

:::Please don’t copy the same thing to lots of places (use [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|templates]], if you must) and [[WP:SIG|sign your posts]] using ''your own'' username. Also, Xinyu is not an administrator (and never was one) and it’s a bad idea to claim otherwise. —[[User:xyzzy_n|xyzzy]]<sub>[[User talk:xyzzy_n|n]]</sub> 05:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

:::My remark was addressed to [[User:ProfessorPaul]]. —[[User:xyzzy_n|xyzzy]]<sub>[[User talk:xyzzy_n|n]]</sub> 21:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, so I’ve looked at some of [[User:216.244.12.76]]’s edits. I think that the editor did not state his or her intention well enough (or, for that matter, at all…), but, taken as a whole, the edits were apparently not in bad faith. I can think of several reasons related to [[WP:NPOV]] and [[WP:V]] to delete those sections; I’m not sure, however, whether that editor had these in mind. (As for section headings without any text to follow them, removing those was clearly a good thing.) Anyway, if you want to know more about vandalism and how to deal with it, see [[WP:VAND]].

==I need support on AfD for [[13 Illuminati Bloodlines]]==

The article is posted for an AfD. We either need to fix it up more, or get more, "Verifiable." sources. Also, for or against deletion of article on Thirteen Illuminati Bloodlines? Thanks, you're my only support, considering everyone else wants the article to be deleted...Thanks. --[[User:Xinyu|Lord X]] 22:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[[User:Xinyu]]

http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=2006_Israel-Lebanon_conflict&curid=6299613&diff=69913180&oldid=69912646
ISn't that unnecesary? The original sentence has the pre-comma clause as dependant with the use of "as that", so it is not a comma splice since it cannot stand by itself. -- [[User:Avraham|Avi]] 23:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

==NC16002 disappearance==
I have deleted your last change to ''NC16002 disappearance''. We don't really need to state the obvious in articles, like saying that someone who disappeared in a 1948 aircraft crash has been missing or presumed dead since. Also, all of those subheads in such a short article were overpowering. Furthermore, two of the subheads, ''The last flight'', and ''The takeoff for Miami'',  actually preceded a paragraph which led with the previous flight (Miami '''to''' San Juan).

== ''[[The Lincoln Conspiracy]]'' ==
Hi ProfessorPaul.  Nice job on the edits you made on ''The Lincoln Conspiracy'' articles I started (wish I had thought of some of them).  I had not heard anything previously about [[National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets]].  Although I am sure it will be crap for history (like the ''The Lincoln Conspiracy'' itself), I still look forward to viewing it.  Thanks.  [[User:Edeans|Edeans]] 02:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

== The Unexplained ==

Your "wikifying" of [[The Unexplained]] is a bit excessive. The alphabetical sections are unnecessary and only clutter up the article--plus, they completely kill seeing how many episodes there are total, and have numbering themselves which is just excessively overly complicated. -[[User:Eep²|Eep²]] 19:33, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

== Liberty Lobby ==

Hi. A newbie here. I was reading the Liberty Lobby page and saw I knew a ref I could add--but the graf in which the ref would appear is still partly in 1st person POV I am sure.

:I judge your re-write of what I will call the Jeremy Horne graf removes the objection to 1st person POV which I raised above. I see the ref to the Trento magazine article remains. I think by these edits we've left the article stronger in terms of the warnings at top of article--but it still has problems I believe you will agree. Quick, new question: The ref for the Drew Pearson suit misspells Pearson's name, so the text is accurate but does WikiPedia usage call for a sic notation in such cases?

== Blue/Bourbon ==

Considering the comment you left at [[Talk:Bourbon Democrat]] is going on three years old, I suppose you've probably either found the answer or completely forgotten about it by now. But for what it's worth, I don't think the [[Blue Dog Coalition|Blue Dogs]] trace their roots to the Bourbons, at least not directly. I suppose you could consider the [[United States presidential election, 1924|1924 election]] the Bourbons' proverbial beheading, but really, the conservative Southern wing of the party never truly died until the era of George Wallace gave way to that of Ronald Reagan. The Blue Dogs trace their heritage more to the [[Dixiecrat]]s, both in being conservatives and in that their goal was to retake areas that had once been dominated by Democrats but subsequently switched to Republican in the same realignment that brought [[Strom Thurmond]] across the aisle.

Sorry for the rant. Hope it was at least somewhat helpful. :) [[User:Recognizance|Recognizance]] ([[User talk:Recognizance|talk]]) 05:41, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


==financial smuggling==
there is apparently another case of smuggled bonds found at malpensa airport [http://rassegnastampa.mef.gov.it/mefeconomica/View.aspx?ID=2009091813722922-2]; I did't found many sources but it's online on some italian  newspapers websites.

again something about Malpensa-bonds! [http://www.sateliosnews.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1818:bond-falsi-per-costruire-chiese-arrestati-due-filippini&catid=10:cronaca&Itemid=16 ]

I can't translate into english very well but it says that:
* philippine nationals hoped to build churches in the philippines for a evangelic- pentecostal religious organization using the bonds
* it says the bonds (207 for 500mln$ each) where sent in a package (by post maybe?) from philippines to genoa there was a phone number that  lead to the arrest of 2 philippine people. some more bonds (26 value of 500 mln each) were found in philippine nationals house. the 2 philippine nationals were  a man and a woman, the woman is already out of prison, the man not.
*  also  U.S Secret Service people went to Italy to examine the   bonds: they declared they are fake because  “non esistono titoli emessi nel 1934 di quel taglio”_ in 1934 were not printed any bond with value 500mln.



npthing is still being said about the chiasso bond, I don't know if they were definitely declared fake by u.s..

==Speedy deletion of [[:Goldline International]]==
Hello ProfessorPaul, this is a message from an [[WP:BOT|automated bot]] to inform you that the page you created, [[:Goldline International]], has been marked for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] by [[User:Quidam65]]. This has been done because the page seems to be about a person, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant (see [[WP:CSD#A7|CSD]]). If you think the tag was placed in error, please add "<code>{{tl|hangon}}</code>" to the page text, and edit the {{#if:Goldline International|[[{{TALKPAGENAME:Goldline International}}|talk page]]|talk page}} to explain why the page should not be deleted. If you have a question about this bot, please ask it at [[User talk:SDPatrolBot II]]. If you have a question for the user who tagged the article, see [[User talk:Quidam65]]. Thanks, - [[User:SDPatrolBot II|SDPatrolBot II]] ([[User talk:SDPatrolBot II|talk]]) on behalf of {{user|Quidam65}} 08:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

*Professor Paul--I placed the tag there because I do not believe this company meets the notability criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia.  Outside of its sponsorship of Glenn Beck's programs the company isn't all that well-known (it doesn't sponsor any of the other major Fox News or talk radio shows).

==Unreferenced BLPs==

The [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]] policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure [[WP:VERRIFY|verifiability]], all biographies should be based on [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable sources]]. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
