The National Monument to the U.S. Constitution

HelpME: I'm obviously very confused. The information that I have placed into the article is absolutely accurate. I can't seem to figure out how to add catagories and don't quite understand what is being requested as to documentation. I have included many links. I have tried to link to the Wiki article on Brett Livingstone Strong, but it keeps rejecting it. Don't know why. Please help me to get this right. Thanks Larry Creeger --Lawrence Creeger (talk) 04:40, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Let's talk more on the talk page -- Mad Pierrot (talk) 04:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

HelpMe: I tried to delete the "deletion box" but it came right back. I'm also planning to add additional pictures of the Monument in major National events. Don't know if that adds any credibilty to the article. Its hard to link the monument to other articles without going into those articles and adding the information about the monument. i.e. The bio of Warren Burger mentions his being chairman of the Commission, but doesn't mention that he commissioned the monument(s). do I go in and add the monument information to his Bio, which by the way is what I did? Still can not figure out catagories at all. I've read and re-read the article about catagories and for my own part, it is Greek to me.

HelpMe Are you the one who removes the speedy deletion of the article? Obviously I own the WEB site your refer to: WWW.spiritoffreedomtour.org. I have now sent the email giving Wikimedia permission to use our material. Please advise. Larry Creeger --Lawrence Creeger (talk) 03:27, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Lawrence,

Let's keep this discussion on the talk page. Thanks --Mad Pierrot (talk) 03:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

HelpMe I think you put a response to someone on the wrong talk page. I have no idea what the above is about. Larry Creeger --Lawrence Creeger (talk) 03:43, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Larry,

Don't worry about that, it's just a disagreement with another editor. Just check out the The National Monument to the U.S. Constitution article talk page. --Mad Pierrot (talk) 04:13, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

"openly straight" edits

Thank you for getting in touch with me, and for stating your position with regard to my edits. I am sorry to hear that you feel they are a "joke." The Wikipedia page for B.D. Wong, another actor who stars in Law and Order SVU, states that he is "openly gay." (I quote: "Wong, who is openly gay, began a long-term relationship with talent agent Richie Jackson in 1988.") A search for "who is openly gay" on Wiki reveals 72 hits. Before I edited several articles, a search for "who is openly straight" turned up nothing.

I am sorry, but I cannot accept your position that this discrepancy represents some kind of neutrality. In fact, I believe that my edits were aimed much more clearly at approaching neutrality than is your reversion.

If you insist that the "openly straight" edits be removed, I must insist that the 72 references to being "openly gay" be removed as well. "Openly gay," when used in this way, implies that the individual should have something to be ashamed of, but that they overcame it. I'm sorry -- that's doesn't feel like neutrality to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.147.142 (talk) 03:32, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

While I disagree with your position that "openly gay," when used in this way, implies that the individual should have something to be ashamed of, that is besides the point. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. If you would like, I could debate with you why I disagree with you, but I doubt either of us are going to change our positions. Please, let's be civil, and if you find something you disagree with on an article, you should consider including an edit summary and making your case on the talk page when you make changes. One more thing, it is considered good practice to sign your posts on talk pages by inserting four ~'s after your post. Mad Pierrot (talk) 16:55, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

To Retain the article Band Nee

Hi,

Please help to retain the article Band Nee, Nee is a music band, which released its debut album on 27th June 2009 at Planet M, Bangalore India... The band has performed several stage shows as well... Including Television shows, there is a huge response in Bangalore and India for this band.

Supporting evidences for the existence of this band is provided in the article.

Awaiting your positive response.

Thanks, Siddeshindia —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siddeshindia (talk • contribs) 07:04, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey Siddeshendia,

If you believe that Band Nee merits it's own article, you should make your case on the talk page. However, looking over your contributions, it seems that you have repeatedly recreated the Band Nee article after it had been deleted. This is generally frowned upon, and administrators will be less likely to want to keep the article on Wikipedia. [mad pierrot][t c] 07:19, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

July 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page The Silver Bears has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Alexius08 (talk) 02:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure that you wanted to revert my last edit? I just was putting the speedy deletion tag back after it had been removed by the author. [mad pierrot][t c] 02:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for that. I also tagged that page for speedy deletion, but the user suddenly removed it. Maybe I'm doing it too fast? Alexius08 (talk) 08:30, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

That [1] was fast! Thank you very much Skäpperöd (talk) 09:40, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome! Glad I could help. [mad pierrot][t c] 09:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
