RE: Edits to William Guarnere and

KT,

I must question your edits to William Guarnere and Edward Heffron‎.

First of all, with William Guarnere your edit summary said:

"removing unverified birthdate"

But this is not what you did. Why would you say "X" and do "Y"? Makes it look like slight-of-hand.

Next, instead on both articles you removed an external link. In the edit summary to the other article you said "remove spam".

But, again, is this really spam? Did you try clicking on the link? It is just an audio interview with the two men. I found it very enjoyable and informative. The interview does not try to sell you anything, which is the purpose of spam. It is just an interview about these two men serving and surviving in World War II.

I never really thought of the American Veterans Center and Radio America as entities that "spams". American Veterans Center has an article right here on Wikipedia, and looks on the up and up to me. Am I missing something?

I would like to ask that you listen to the interview, and then see if you feel like I do, that it is not designed as spam? Also review the American Veterans Center article.

I must not be in the loop on something on this one.

Best O Furtuna, User:AVC User was adding external links to numerous articles. When a user does nothing but add external links all of the same domain, it is considered spamming. So I removed all of the links User:AVC User added. I then placed a level-one spam warning on User:AVC User's talk page. I hope that explains my actions to you. As for the "removing unverified birthdate", that edit summary was an error. I have a number of texts that come up when I type letters into my edit summary box. Unfortunately, my manipulation of the arrow keys in that particular case failed to select the proper choice..."removing spam." Kingturtle (talk) 01:33, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Usurp

I noticed that after renaming User:AllstarechoTEMP to User:Ase, that User:AllstarechoTEMP is still there. Should it have been deleted? - ALLST✰R▼^echo _{wuz here} 20:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

User account "AllstarechoTEMP" is not registered. What you see there is just a redirect. It can be deleted if you wish. It doesn't really matter. Kingturtle (talk) 22:24, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I CSD tagged as U2. Thanks again. - ALLST✰R▼^echo _{wuz here} 00:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

stalking

Why are you stalking me? Whenever something happens your immediately there. Pzrmd (talk) 01:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

The record clearly shows that whenever "something happens" with you, I am not "immediately there." I address issues as I encounter them. The less somethings that happen with you, the less you'll hear from me. Sincerely, Kingturtle (talk) 02:55, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

It's okay as long as you don't make useless comments like saying I will get a heftier block next time or not liking my style of formatting. Pzrmd (talk) 03:29, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

It's easy to be in the clique and quote policy along with five hundred other editors, but it's not easy to fight for what is right here, as I have said on my talkpage. Pzrmd (talk) 03:40, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

My request at WP:CHU/U

Would you mind confirming my request at WP:CHU/U is valid? iMatthew ^talk at 22:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Non-free image

Hi there,

Sorry, but we had to remove the image File:1972olympiadCOIN.jpg from your user page;

"Fair use" images can only be used on articles, not in userspace, due to copyright issues. Sorry about that. See WP:NFCC#9 for more info.

I commented it out because I didn't want to mess up your gallery. Hope you don't mind me messing with your userpage. Cheers. Thingg^⊕⊗ 04:04, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
