Hi, and welcome to my talk page. 1redrun Talk 09:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Milan Crawford

It would be helpful if you would actually state what part of the Milan Crawford article contains "weasel words", otherwise i find such a banner inappropriate. If you had identified the said "weasel words", you could have easily removed them. Right? So what portion is the problem? Maybe I can address it, or maybe you are just mistaken.

My concern is with the last sentence. ("who was charged with resisting arrest, had the charges against him thrown out by a grand jury" I admit it's only minor. But since I'm not fimiliar with the issue I though it best to just point it out. 1redrun Talk 11:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not following you here. Is the sentence grammatically incorrect? How would you say it? You are right, it is minor. So minor I don't know what you are talking about. (Mind meal 11:37, 24 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]
The statement "thrown out by a grand jury" also expresses an opinion towards the subject. It's simple as that. The grammar is correct. 1redrun Talk 11:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I changed that part, despite my source having used the words "threw out by a grand jury" pertaining to the charges. "Thrown out" is a commonly used term for cases that are dismissed by a jury; not sure what was opinionated in stating that fact. Anyway, the "issue" was addressed.

Not sure what made you think that was nonsense. It may not be notable however. --Dweller 11:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When I tagged it one of the first sentences read: "Capacity: one man and his dog ". For me that's nonsense. I also tought it to be non-notable but I only put one Speedy tag not two. 1redrun Talk 11:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think that was the originator being inappropriately humourous. The article as a whole wasn't nonsense, but I don't think it is notable. You can prod it, if you like, or if you think there's not even a claim to notability, speedy tag it. --Dweller 11:57, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warning users for vandalism

I see that you just left a note for a user on his user page. Thank you for working to prevent vandalism. You should instead post to the user's talk page, on the "discussion" tab at the top of his userpage. For example, my talk page is User talk:Shalom. You can post a standard warning template such as {{subst:uw-test1}}. Shalom Hello 15:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hossa... Thanks for pointing it out. I must have had a weak moment there. I usually put them on the talk page. As for templates: I can't remember the propper template most of the time so instead of looking for it I just type, I guess that takes about as long finding the propper template. 1redrun Talk

You should voice your opinion on the talk page. Deiz talk 10:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Robinho

Thanks for helping on Robinho today. I am on WP:3RR risk there today. A suspected sockpuppeteer User:AnonymousDude1993 and sockpuppets User:Futbolfan and User:IamRobinho are making the same DOB change adding the same comments that "he heard on TV that Robinho is 19 yrs old". Sockpupeteer has been reported to: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/AnonymousDude1993. Please keep an eye on this one. Thanks! Alexf(Talk/Contribs) 16:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Issue Of Civility (Or How I Messed Up Format At The End Of My Summer Vacation)

I was actually referring to User:EYEZONLY, not you. Sorry for the confusion. >.>; -WarthogDemon 17:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

alanscott sockpupet fearings

Greetings, I'm not sure the process here with the sockpuppets. I understand your request to research into my edits. That's all okay with me as I'm certain you'll find this is my only account on wikipedia. But do you know how long this thing takes? I don't like sockpupets fearness on my usertalk page. BTW: I only made so many edits initially on that article because I'm new to this whole format of wikipedia and trying to understand it. I wish to do things the correct way. It's just that article means alot to some people. Alanscott81 18:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted his last "pruning" (his edits could be construed as vandalism) and made some some changes of my own (mostly formatting to improve readability). It's not a subject I'm too familiar with so can't really make too much factual assistance, though controversy isn't something I shy away from :). One thing I am confused about though; why does the article's subject keep getting variations of his name through the article (even more so by that other guy's editing)? --WebHamster 10:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
