Hi there. I've just posted a comment at Talk:Albus Dumbledore, which might be of interest. I think (after looking through the edit history) that you added in the spoiler as a "note to editors" (though you say you added it "back" - so maybe someone else had added it earlier). I know it was meant to be a spoiler warning, but it actually spoilt the plot for me. Not a big thing, and I'm not annoyed or anything, but I thought I should point this out for future reference. Also, looking through the edit history and reading the summaries led to me reading a few more plot spoilers! :-) Carcharoth 10:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
I just pulled up the text of the page to correct a small typo in the lead section, and found myself reading a plot spoiler in the "helpful" 'note to editors'. Please, please, if you put a plot spoiler anywhere, please label it as a plot spoiler and add warnings well before the text itself (as I've just done). Thanks. Carcharoth 10:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey I noticed you nailed the spam link on Ford Motor Company. [2] Aweseome. I got User:Mrtipsy's other spam links because of that edit. Thanks. Kevin_b_er 06:49, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
This is becoming a problem. Is Nick Shim dating anyone? Was Robert Pattinson's cat eaten by Nick Shim? I've found this on Matthew Lewis's site, Nick Shim's and Robert Pattinson which you reverted. Can you tell me if this is true? ForestH2
HI, I noticed you put the MKS in as replacement. While yes it will be the flagship, please note that we have taken the flagship name off the template and now only have a full size category, the MKS won't be the replacement for the Town Car. Auto Week said it well, "If Ford stops making the Town Car with the closure of the Wixom plant next year, there will be a gap before a replacement product is on the market. Ford plans a production version of the Lincoln MKS concept car featured at the 2006 Detroit auto show. It could arrive as early as late 2007. But that vehicle, based on the Ford Five Hundred platform, is much smaller." You see the MKS is to small, over a foot shorter, than the TC to be Town Car. Autoweed also states that the DTS will be the only cay left in the "old cooger" segment, and they're right the MKS will be the new flagship but won't replace the Town Car. Just like there has never been a replacement for the Fleetwood Bourgham, there won't be one for the TC in the near future. As we have taken out the flagship category, I think its fair to have the TC end in '07 w/ nothing to follow and put the MKS in the Continental line only. Regards, Signature brendel 05:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
P.S., yes I am highly protective of my articles but that also depends on who edited it, I have almost never reverted or disputed any of your edits as they add quality to the articles. Signature brendel 17:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I came accross this by accident and I must say it is a really good improvement. I also support marking future model years red! You probably couldn't care less about what I am thinking, but I couldn't resist dropping in while passing by :D Bravada, talk - 14:22, 17 July 2006 (UTC) PS. Hmm... Actually, I might have one reservation here. I wonder how would MKZ, with no V8 engine and lower price tag, replace the LS8. I'd say the MKS would replace the LS8 (and therefore also the Continental in the long run), while the TC would either soldier on, get a replacement in the form of the rumored car bigger than the MKS (either a stretched D3 one or some RWD wonder), or perhaps just fade away, like the Fleetwood a decade earlier. Perhaps there could be some "fading" bar placed after 2007 for TC to indicate uncertain status?
Could you please refrain from making sarcastic comments in your edit summary, as you did to the Harry Potter book seven article today ( diff). This is biting the newbies and may confuse editors. Cheers — G a ry Kirk | talk! 12:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Why do I need a reference? The quote is in the article. Look in info from JK. But i don't even know why we put it there cuz its in the article already. ( 11987 23:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC))
I see that you reverted my removal of the claim that Dumbledore was head of Gryffindor on the basis that it was undiscussed. You'll note that it *was* discussed on the article's talk page. Unless there's evidence that Dumbledore was head of Gryffindor (which I don't recall existing in the books or movies), that claim should not be there.
Adding Henry Ford by Mantanmoreland to the Anti-Semitic category is wholly inappropriate. The claim: (category is amply supported by historical record cited in article; do not use inaccurate edit summaries WP:NPA) is not correct. Here are some excerpts from the article regarding "The International Jew" and other writings supposedly attributed to or approved by Ford. These strongly refute your claim that Ford should be categorized as an Anti-Semitic:
I think this proves that Mr. Ford should not be included in the category with Anti-Semitics, and your statement that the article supports such categorization is simply false. As to "inaccurate edit summaries", your original categorization post did not even have an edit summary - and since the category is both inappropriate and inaccurate for application to Henry Ford, and had all the appearance of an agenda-driven drive-by vandalism done by an internet troll, done in spite of and in clear disregard of the discussions on the discussion page, and the approved material posted in the article. Thank you in advance for your re-consideration -- T-dot 14:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I saw your note on 69.248.76.129 ( talk · contribs), and I share your suspicions that was sneaky vandalism. Might want to keep an eye on 88.248.3.41 ( talk · contribs) who seems to be doing similar edits to similar pages. I've been trying to add footnotes to these articles as I revert them, so it will be easier to spot next time, eg on Henry Hill (mobster). Gimmetrow 02:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I seem to remember you, like myself, were not happy with the additions to the Salazar Slytherin section. I haven't been able to form a consensus large enough to dislodge the dedicated MichaelSanders, but I really think it's time we got enough might on our side to do something about it.

Hi T-Dot, Earlier today I put some external links to our Famous Locations reference information for Titanic, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. You labelled them spam and removed them!
