Hi, RMS. Before you start throwing allegations around, perhaps you should actually read my edit summaries, before assuming a bias. Prior to your last edit, you were removing a paragraph from the article without providing citations refuting the passage or even providing and reasoning in the edit summaries. When you fail to provide a justification for a major edit (no matter how reasonable you think it is) it will likely come under scrutiny. Also, before you start assuming biases on other pages, please remember that on Wikipedia, we assume good faith. Thanks. - Masonpatriot ( talk) 15:08, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Just undid your recent edit to the 'Ryan Giggs' article. Giggs was not part of the 2008 UEFA Super Cup team for Manchester United and I don't believe he got a medal but I could be wrong. Do you have a ref ?

I just noticed that back in November you removed a paragraph concerning lightning striking Lee Corso's car from the article on Lee Corso, for which I tracked down numerous cites about a year ago. In the edit summary, you wrote "Not true." Would you care to elaborate here or inform me what I'm missing? Google searches still turn up lots of corroborating articles and nothing indicating it was a hoax.

The dead links are as follows:
BCA, Virginia Tech propose a Dec. 1 date
A sign from above tells me to pick the Hokies
Lightning strikes Corso's rental car
You'll note in the 2nd link, Lee Corso says:
During the ESPN telecast of GameNight from the Georgia Tech-Virginia Tech game Saturday in Blacksburg, I picked Florida State and Kansas State in the national championship game. Within two minutes, a tremendous flash of light shot through the thunderclouds and touched down about 300 yards from where our set was. We saw the light and heard the crack, but didn't know yet it was a sign.
Now, I admit I do not know which specific flash of lightning caused the officials to postpone the game, but since the lightning bolt that struck Corso's car occurred during - or at the very latest, two minutes after - a live, outdoor ESPN pregame show on the same premises, I do not believe it would be grossly inaccurate to claim the game was canceled due to lightning striking Lee Corso's car. In any case, I think that this is a quibble about sentence wording and not a good reason to excise a passage.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,
