Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Jpowell 00:04, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a reporter with Governing Magazine, doing a piece on the Wikipedia profiles of Governors and Mayors. I see you've been active on Gov. Sebelius' page and Gov. Blagojevich's page this week. I'd love to talk, if you'd drop me a line.

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia. I've noticed your edits to the Ann Richards and Richard M. Daley articles. Thanks for your contributions. I have added a request that you cite sources to verify some of the information you added to those two articles. Thanks again for your contributions, and please let me know if you have any questions or I can help you get used to editing Wikipedia. TMS63112 16:16, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks for the note on my talk page regarding the reversions of your additions to the Stephen King biography.
I agree with you that Stephen makes errors when it comes to accuracy of the depiction of firearms in his stories. That has no relevance in a biographic entry about an author, however. It is just as irrelevant to state that he erronously describes the color of Nike shoes or that he describes amplitude modulation wrong in three stories... None of this is relevant in a biographical entry. It has nothing to do with politics. In fact I was trained by law enforcement officers in weapons handling for motion pictures and am very savvy when it comes to firearms of many kinds. Your comment was an interesting note to make, but it has no place here. Perhaps you can start an article on firearm inacurracies presented in modern media? That would actually be a very interesting article. The obvious entries would be talking about "endless" ammo in Hollywood weapons, the endless need to cock weapons in movies - especially semi automatics that have already been fired in the same scene. It could be a very interesting article. My deletions had nothing to do with politics or any personal attack. It was merely good editing. All the best LACameraman 09:47, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
I noticed your edit to Evolution. You’re right that it hasn’t been “proven,” but nothing in science can really be proven. Einstein’s theory of relativity has not been proven, nor has quantum mechanics. All we can do is to say that the hypothesis fits the observed data extremely well, that every piece of evidence so far gathered supports the hypothesis, and there are no alternative explanations that better fit the data. Adding that statement to the beginning of the article, aside from being obviously misplaced, is not helpful, since the article discusses the matter in far more sophistication later on. Hope this helps, and please ask me if you have any questions. Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ 00:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Now this was nice. Saltforkgunman 07:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I removed the word "again" in your edit from the article about Kathleen Sebelius vetoing the bill. You placed the fact so far down in the article from her stance on gun laws that I was not certain whether she vetoed the gun law referred to early in the article again or to another law not mentioned previously again. I moved the sentence to the appropriate paragraph and ask you to clarify. Thanks. Angrynight 15:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I can't remember for the life of me the name of the preservative guns are transported in. I remember it is a waxy yellow substance that needs to be removed before the gun can be used, I think it starts with a "p" but the name eludes me. I thought you might have some idea- given the name- Thanks. Angrynight 03:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that wikipedia is an appropriate forum to hold the United States accountable for it's actions.It reads like hatred to me.I asked you not to threaten me.
I have nominated Battle Of Jakes' Better Business Forms, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle Of Jakes' Better Business Forms. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rnb ( talk) 03:39, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Matter of fact, if you enjoy this kind of fiction, read Unintended Consequences , by John Ross.
"Did you use your administrator powers to blacklist the hyperlink to the story?" I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. If the link has been blacklisted, you'll have to ask the administrator who blacklisted as to their reasoning.
The relation you've illustrated sounds like original research (something that shouldn't be included). Furthermore, you haven't demonstrated that this is a reliable, notable external link in any way, since it's a forum. Links to forums are generally not allowed, except in rare cases.
You may also wish to review the rules on assuming good faith, since you seem to have a problem with doing that. The conspiracies you appear to be imagining are probably just that. Natalie ( talk) 20:48, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
