Hi, It's Indiggo, Mihaela and Gabriela Modorcea. Our user name is Indiggo77. Thank you for all your messages and tips.
There is a user name with the number 63.247.160.139 who edits our wikipedia unceasingly and provides false information on us deleting all our citations from reputable sites and sources like billboard, broadway world etc. He keeps deleting all the citations and links that we and other users have provided. We are American citizens, featured in thousands of magazines, newspapers, TV shows..., professional actresses - graduates with honor from the National University of Theatrical Arts and Cinematography of Bucharest, SAG eligible; we are professional singers - signed under Sony BMG. The user 63.247.160.139 keeps saying "that we are aspiring actresses and singers". He is violating our page and our hard work and uses abusive, untruthful and harmful language! He also deleted our photo provided on Wikipedia with our cover of LA LA LA featured and credited on the Watch The Throne album of Jay-Z & Kanye West and released under DAS LAbel. Please, protect our page and do not let individuals who can not give their name edit pages and harming artists who have worked so hard to fulfill their dreams and achieve notability.

You wrote me to stop disruptive editing. I am the one who put up the wiki page to my images of signatures. My competitors kept changing all of the links to their webpages for advertizing. I changed it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miraluck (talkcontribs)

I removed what you said I removed because there are no sources to back that piece of information and is rather biased.

Clearly out of date and biased since there has not been any instance of Al-Douri advocating for separation of Iraq into Sunni and Shia only states.

Need your guidance

Hello Jim. I noticed that you recently reverted edits on article Sajin Vass Gunawardena. Well I did the same yesterday and have been getting bombarded ever since. Let me clarify before I proceed; I am NOT requesting you to interfere in WP:ANI discussing and talk on my behalf; all I am trying to do is get an independent opinion on the matter.

I reported matter on ANI as I found certain action objectionable and questionable. Well, as expected, I did not get a satisfactory answer and have hence raised further points. In the meanwhile, it will be helpful for me if you can guide me on

a) If the article was updated as per WP:NPOV guidelines? I checked and found no issues.
b) If the contents (except the mention of Sajin begs forgiveness) were properly sourced and could have been maintained in the page?
c) If the admin was right in revoking my rights when I had not even violated WP:3RR rule?
d) If reasons given for content blanking by Admin were correct and justified?

Please try and help me out. Cheers AKS

Re your work on the 'effective stress' section

Dear Jim,

Regarding the 'effective stress' section, much of the information are wrong.

1. The reference given was wrong (i checked it in the library, Terzaghi's works were on different pages, and even in those pages, he did not explicitly define effective stress. Please refer to Terzaghi's works in either 1923 or 1936.

2. The analogy of adding and removing water to the spheres contains several mistakes. e.g. if you keep adding more water, hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the pile would keep increasing (see triangular distribution of hydrostatic water profile). Effective stress stays constant because total stress increases by the same amount. Also, if you remove water, effective stress may not change at all if the spheres collection are allowed to change its volume.

3. Effective stress is the stress that controls the shear strength and stress-strain behaviours of geomaterials (refer to basic soil mechanics textbook). The concept of effective stress itself can be made much more fundamental (refer to the works of Biot or Coussy)

Please redo the entire section.

Best regards, Liam.

Meranau

Meranau recalls the tradition of the fabled kingdom of Bembaran as the origin of the people and of the towns therein. Tradition claim that the Meranau descended from Bantugen of the fabled kingdom of Bembaran, some believed is the present day Lake Lanao, while a few scholars point of Cabadbaran of Agusan based on geographical explanations provided in the Darangen, Meranau epic.The myth around the destruction of Bembaran remain sorouded, yet many believed a great volcanic eruption of Mount Makaturing completely erased the kingdom from the face of the earth and in place of Kiaranda a ragat,Tiongcop a Layagen- the present Lake Lanao.

Tradition claims that at the time of the destruction, a brother of four were out on a hunting safari. The brothers reached kamanga, a village at the edge of a forest in what is now Dakudau Mapantao Bubong. Learning the event that befall the fabled Kingdom of Bembaran, the brothers agreed to build their own kingdoms on what is now the two Lanao provinces. Butuanen Kalinan, the eldest of the four chose the largest area stretching from the municipality of Marantao on the northwest side of the Lake to the northern part going to the east of the rimming mountain and towards the southeast. This was the principality of Bayabao. The inggued or towns comprising Bayabao are the present day non-municpality and municipalities of Marantao, Saguiaran, Baudi-Puso Bentong, Piagapo, Maguing, Bembaran, Wao, Lembabayabao, Poonabayabao, Ditsaan-Ramain, Bubong and Marawi City. The second brother, Dimaampao Kalinan, to take Principality of Onayan, now comprised by the municipalities of Butig, Lumbayanague, Macadar,Lembac a unayan,Dumalundong,Lumbatan, Bayang, Tubaran, Binidayan, Marogong, Ganassi, Paulas, Madamba, Kalanogas, Sultan Gumander,Maganding, Malabang, Balabagan, Kapatagan and Karomatan.

The third brother, Batara Kilaten, chose the area around the southwest-southeaster side to the northwest side across the lake. This is the Principality of Masiu (formerly Zainun) composed of present-day municipalities of Taraka, Molundo, Tamparan, Masiu, Madalum, Munai, Kalawi-Bacolod, Tugaya and Balindong.

Amerogong Topa-an, the fourth brother took the northwest side across the Agus river down to Iligan bay and called the Principality of Balo-I, now composed of the municipalities of Pantar,Tagoloan, Balo-I, Matenggao, Pantao-Ragat, Poona Piagapo, Tangcal, Magsaysay, Lapayan, Kauswagan,Linamon, Bacolod, Maigo, Kolambugan and Iligan City. The traditional principality is now located mostly in Lanao del Norte.

The four principalities is to the Meranaus the Pat A Phangampong Ko Ranao (Literary means four Kingdom of Pangampong a Ranau), built on the Igma Ago Taritib (Order and Consensus) among the founding fathers, this is the unwritten constitution that binds the Meranau since then up to the present. To safeguard the agreement, the forefathers instituted the Maratabat or Meranau psychology that is deeply ingrained in the cultural matrix. The origin maybe mythical but the operation of the Phangampong and adherence to the consensus remain alive and sustained. The coming of Islam to Lanao is contingent to the coming of Islam to Sulu and Maguindanao during the 14th century. Sharif Kabungsuan who descended from a line of missionaries tracing lineage to Prophet Muhammad, first reached Maguindanao and proceeded to Lanao. The Salsila or genealogy is zealousy guarded recording line of descent from Prophet Muhammad. The other Arab missionary, Sharif Alawi also came to Ranau by way of Taguloan, now the municipality of Taguloan in the province of Misamis Oriental.

Thus, the coming of Islam to Ranau further sustained the already existing principalities thereby further claiming affinity to the Muslim world. The ethno-linguistic matrix of the Meranau finds strong affinity to that of the Maguindanao of the Cotabato provinces and the Ilanun, who settled partly in Maguindanao and in Lanao. The Meranau claim that Irannun group, from the Meranau word Iranaun or from the Lake region, were actually Meranau who ventured to trade in the flourishing Sulu-China trade route cutting across Malaysia and Indonesia. Recorded History cites that the Sulu sultanate employed Illannun mariners in their trade. Many of the Illanuns who reached Sabah and other areas in Borneo settled in these places. Hence, to this day there are groups there who are still referred to as Illanun and traces descent to the Ilannun in both Maguindanao and Ranau of Meranau called in latin word Maranao people.

Red Granite Pictures

Actually,I thought it's ok to put it in Red Granite Pictures page. Does it violate any wikipedia policy if I put it in Red Granite Picture wiki page instead of Riza Aziz page? If not then I will just edit it there in Red Granite Picture wiki page. The one is Riza Aziz wiki page,I'm still having discussion with other users.I've decided to remove the on in Riza Aziz wiki page and choose to put it in Red Granite Pictures wiki page. If everything ok and I did not violate wikipedia policy then I will leave it it Red Granite Pictures wiki page.If I do please be specific on which policy I violate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PVCfiredauz (talkcontribs)

Malcolm Couch redirect

Please check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Old_Harrovians#Business & note that the Malcolm Couch in this section is not the same person on redirect to Malcolm Ollie "Mal" Couch, Jr (former Shell Oil executive & current Assessor of Income Tax for the Isle of Man *still alive* v. founder of Tyndale Theological Seminary who *died 12 February 2013*) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.55.86.125 (talk) 05:50, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

wp:Redirects are also for common misspellings. It redirects to a Malcolm Couch and so seem OK to me. Are you saying there are two Malco(l)m Couchs and it should be made into a wp:disambiguation page?.

you edited a page I corrected about Midland, Texas

I have all the proof I need to substantiate what I left in the post. I had a drug test that was falsified, and after traffic ticket for "an at fault" accident (that didn't even meet the counties or city's minimum standards for reporting an accident, I chose to represent myself in their court. After taking the drug test, at a licensed location, later that same day, I passed with flying colors. I do not, and had not taken ANY drugs, period. I do not drink or take any drugs that are not prescribed for my high blood pressure, agina, and after having a heart attack, ever!!!!

The Judge stood up in court during the trial, (and I have a WRITTEN copy of the entire trial), and told me "if you cannot QUOTE me the law, I will not allow ANY of your evidence". He, then, proceeded to do just that. He would not allow any pictures, witnesses, or anything else at and during my trial. I would love to see how you think that is legal. The prosecution, on the other hand, tried to try the case during the jury voidire, and this was stopped when one potential jurer questioned what he was doing. The constitution, says I have the right to present any evidence I have in ANY court of law, and QUOTING THE LAW IS NOT A CONCIDERATION FOR DOING SO, PERIOD. I eventually had to hire my attorney to WALK ME TO THEIR OFFICES, personally, to keep them from harassing me, and falsifying other reports. The probation office had to, eventually, change the way they took and sent in drugs tests. My attorney is Ian Cantacuzene', who has his doctoral in juris prudence. This cost me over $10,000.00. The damage ot my wife's car was less than $800.00, incouding a lofttime garauntee on the repairs. The minimum to report ANY accident in Midland, is 1000.00. The other vehicle, had NO damage, but they tried to say I ran my car under their vehicle (a Ford F-150 pickup) at 20mph. Yet MY vehicle had no front end damage, wheel damage, bumper damage, or any other damage, except in the SIDE of my car where THEY hit ME. I took pictures and have them, to this day. This was in 2005, mother's day to be exact. The pickup was later sold, with a signed statement from the owner stating it had never been in an accident, ever. It is still listed that way on carfax. The oNLY reason I was treated this way, was because the driver of the pickup was the SISTER of a DPS trooper, who just happened to show up at the scene. They even tried to say I tried to flee the scene, while all the tie I was standing in front of this officer the whole time. (proven by written statements of witnesses). The DPS trooper was later stationed to border duty only, by my mom's boss. He is still in that position. Mr. HOLT passed away several years ago.

During the trial, and afterwards ,the assistant D.A. spit in my face TWICE, and when I asked him to stop, he said he would do that all he wanted, and "was I threatening him". I had mearly asked him to please stop spitting in my face, or I would report him to the state bar. There is a LOT more to this case than I care to print here. MUCH more cause and affect.

After my convition, I appealed the case and the District Courts in San Antonio threw the whole thing out and the Judge was repremanded.


In an earlier trial, of copyright infringement, in 1989 (I was a programmer who went to work for another company), The federal Judge presiding, spent 45 minutes with one of the so-called infringed party's witnesses, on the subject of "being of the same vintage, like fine wine, and talked about thier being raised in the same kind of environment, and other things that never petained to the subjet or the trial, what-so0ever. My attorney objected but was told to "shut up and sit down", until they finished. The Judge was Lucious Bunton, whom had over 50% of all of his convictions overturned for these type of infringements. The 14th District of the U.S. courts, in New Orleans, overturned this verdict, also, specifically stating this had no bearing on the case, and had, apparently been used in the verdict. And then repremanded the Judge, by the Judges of the Appeals court, for constantly pulling this crap in court. His repremands are on the record.

I will also relate to you a TRUE STORY of how one of our city founder's great grand son's had been arrested by the county sherrif, for hitch hiking (which they do a LOT [NEVER hitchhike through Midland, Texas...you WILL be arrested]) from Interstate 20, to his home, about 5 miles. He was arrested, and beaten by the deputies, stripped and cavity searched, before being allowed to make his phone call, at which time he called his father. During his trip top the detention center, he had repeatedly told the office who he was, and would they simply call his dad. The officers kept telling him he was a liar and they would find his real identity when they got to their office. He was and is John Mabee's grandson. One of the Biggest land owners, richest ranchers and richest oil men in Midland. His father came to the Sheriff's office to get his son, and the sheriff ,nearly shit in his pants to find out who he was. This is the same sheriff who PUBLICLY told, in a news paper article ,that IRAN had missiles across the border, aimed at Midland, Texas, which turned out to be bullshit. Reference our news paper. You'll find the story. AND it was the same Sheriff who was repremanded for doing business and trying to arrest people in another jurisdiction, without warrants, or cause. This, too was public. This sheriff now, keeps a much lower profile. One of my best friends from HIgh school was a captain of the deputies and constantly told me horror stories of this sheriff and how he did things. He is now retired after 25 years with the department, under 4 different sheriff's.

The PRIOR Sheriff was "unelected" because he was a wife beater, and was known for beating what he thought were criminals, before taking them to jail. He was also known for this while he was a Texas DPS trooper. He was "relieved from duty" as a DPS trooper, and it is publicly known he beat his wife.

How do I know these things? I have lived here 58+ years. My mother was the Late Robert B. Holt's secretary for 50+ years. I knew him since I was about 9. I also, used to play raquet and hand ball with him as a youth, at our YMCA, and He was a DPS Commissioner for years, under G. Bush and 4 other Governors, of Texas. He was, also, Mayor Pro-tem of Midland, and head of several civil organizations. WhatI know, I know first hand.

What you don't know, shows your ignorance of facts. Why don't you ask before you make your decisions, ans what idiot things you base your decisions on.

You reverted my USER page!

Oh for heaven's sake. It's a USER page! It's not an encyclopedia page! I was promoting no business nor any commercial activity; I was helping others who wanted to know more about me, the USER!

I see nothing in the guideline page you sent me that indicates they should apply to user pages. Are you saying I should waste bandwidth and make maintenance harder by wholesale copying from other places, rather than linking to them? That's okay if your thing is hummingbirds, I guess...

Now if someone saw fit to create a page about me in the main namespace, I could see your concern.

I did a search for "user page guidelines," and saw nothing.

Do you really think the guidelines for main namespace pages should apply to individuals' personal User: pages? If so, I'm simply going to delete mine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jan Steinman (talkcontribs) to jim 1138: NO

I removed content imput by blocked sock User:Iranimaan who spammed various articles with nonsenses. For example, in article " Ali Khamenei" he has interted content which is not directly related to Khamenei's views, but some general interpretation about such clothing.

Nanking Massacre deaths grossly exaggerated

Hi Jim!

The numbers stated in the "Nanking Massacre" article directly contradict the "Estimates of the death toll for the Nanking Massacre," and because the latter holds more credible references, I would like to edit it so it appears as 40,000 to 200,000, and not 250,000 to 300,000. I'm watching tutorials on wikipedia referencing so I can do this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre (250,000 to 300,000) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimates_of_the_death_toll_for_the_Nanking_Massacre (40,000 to 200,000)

Furthermore, there is evidence that the 300,000 was grossly exaggerated by the Chinese government, as it says so in the "Estimates" article.

Thanks for your time!

Metamodernism

Hi Jim, apologies for the confusion regarding the 'postmodernism' box on the 'metamodernism' page. I see now that some of the items in that box (for instance 'post-postmodernity') are clearly not subsets of metamodernism, and the box merely provides links relevant to metamodernism. I appreciate the help. I hope you'll be able to help also with recent vandalism on the page--this afternoon an anonymous IP address came in and blanked an ongoing list being worked on re: 'notable metamodernists' (by and large, the standard is that an individual meet WP:NOT and have an eligible source listing them as a metamodernist). The anonymous IP left no note on the talk page after blanking the section, but noted in a brief comment to the edit that the list was 'biased.' I do not know what that word means in this particular context--obviously I know what it means generally on WP--so if you have any insight into why that blanking of the section was allowed, I'd appreciate it.

Aluminum Alloy

I simply know about aluminum from being FAA certified for 30 years. My knowledge in this matter is extensive. You may have references, but what the article states at times is incorrect. I post as taught by the United States Federal Aviation Administration. When statements are incorrect, no matter the reference they must be removed, otherwise do not use aircraft as an example. People can be killed by false information. I suggest more research is in order prior to any further impulse deletions.

Such as using adhesive on aircraft is false. I have never seen adhesive used on joining structural aluminum. The only time adhesives are used is when assembling composite aluminum material. This is a international standard.

I simply know these things, like why icebox rivets are used on the French Falcon jet series? Why would I use rivets of like material?

The views of corrosion are off base and should not be posted if incorrect. All aluminum must be painted for protection unless clad with pure aluminum.

I use my programs spell check and what I have is what I will use.

Archdiocesan Classical Gymnasium (Zagreb) ‎

Hi Jim.... I was just correcting a semantic mistake...because when saying gymnasium it does not describe a grammar school but a gym, and as I can see this text was in reference to a grammar school. But I didn't know I had to enlist a reference link for that. I am sorry about that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.252.213.64 (talk) 20:23, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article is in fact about a school; but the correct description for it is still "Gymnasium". I think your confusion is coming from that word having different meanings in some cultures. See Gymnasium (school) for clarification of the term in the context of the article you were editing. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 20:33, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Renaming a school should be sourced. If it is misnamed, it would be a good idea to get the correct English name and rename the article as well as the contents. It does appear to be a translation error. I see that "Nadbiskupska klasična gimnazija s pravom javnosti" machine translates to "Primate classical high school accredited" (google). The Croatian Wikipedia article is hr:Nadbiskupska klasična gimnazija, "Nadbiskupska klasična gimnazija" machine translates to "Primate classical gymnasium". Suggesting someone perhaps machine translated the article. I would say the article should be renamed. Is there an "official" English name of the school and if so, can you shoot me a link? I can rename the article, but I don't want to mis-rename it. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 23:37, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Jim, I've partially reverted your edit. Please see Gymnasium (school) - while the term "gymnasium" means one thing in the USA and some other countries, in other countries the term "usually refers to secondary schools focused on preparing students to enter a university for advanced academic study". It's not a question of mis-translation - the term is legitimately part of the name of the institution. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 03:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello - I received your emails today. The comments from the school support a name change, as they are calling it a High School themselves; but I would prefer having a link to their website supporting that name to support verifiability rather than just an email as it has limits for others being able to review to verify should it be questioned later. Any suggestions for a link? --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 03:29, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jim, Thanks for your response. About the external links, I posted them since it could be further reading material that would help readers perceive more about the article and could motivate them to edit the article and add more information. I was unsure whether the links are valid for posting as per the rules of including external links within articles. Hence I did not add all of them back except the ones which I was sure about. Would the rest be fine to add to the article? Thanks. I am new to wikipedia and there is yet to learn a lot about editing wiki. apologies for failing to mention the edit summary in some of the edits. It went completely off my mind. regards, Camerazaman (talk) 05:17, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

sources

My sources are my eyes and ears. I would not add something or edit something if it wasn't true. But I will add a source. It will come from a thomas supporter. I don't know how that makes the edit any more valid than my input alone. Everyone knows liberals trash black conservatives. This is no secret. Its important that the population that doesn't follow politics learns this and understands it. I don't do political correctness. I explain things the way they are. We meed more people like this — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taxi502 (talkcontribs) 04:14, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Lichtenberg

Hello Jim,

Please stop undoing my edit on Brian Lichtenberg's wiki page who was made by someone with no accurate knowledge of Brian Lichtenberg and who sourced a Vanity Fair article in which Brian's words were indeed manipulated. I have the original source interview that Vanity Fair used for the article and "QUOTED" Brian inaccurately and fraudulently. The interview is confidential. Thank you.

Brian Litchenberg

Hello Jim, Do you really want a lawsuit on your hands for administering false representation of a biography of a living persons. Please remove this article. Please explain to me why you continue to keep this article up? Vanity Fair interview was false and manipulated. I don't see a single quote from Brian. We only want that section removed. Everything else can stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DerreckTapp (talkcontribs) 09:04, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

HELLO

HELLO

The Mao Xinyu content is sourced.It is sourced by a magazine named 炎黄春秋。Do you want me to show photo of it to you??Victorkkd (talk) 08:54, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I gave source, I gave the issue"2013 SEP."I gave the title and translated it.I gave author in pinyin.That's fairly good enought citing.That's it.And you can just check zh.wiki to see if the Mao's birth is there.Victorkkd (talk) 09:04, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So I can add Mao Xinyu now right?And what about the human shield contents?In that entry there are all sources right?And why you say unsourced?Just would you tell me is there any reason to remove content of Mao Xinyu,as well as Human shield now?I gave all sources, did I not.Victorkkd (talk) 09:28, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please add references in a way where English speakers can find them? Maybe an English translation of the periodical name? Perhaps use template:cite journal or template:cite news? Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 09:36, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I searched ,all I can find is journal Yanhuang Chunqiu (炎黄春秋) (Chronicles of History).But I highly doubt whether Chronicles of History is official English name for I couldn't find an official one on its official site. Should that naming suffice?And I don't understand why no one required 毛新宇与郝明莉离婚 毛新宇的第一次婚姻(组图)-毛新宇与郝明莉离婚,-城市周刊-citing to be translated? And again,what content in the human shield entry is unsourced?Please tell me.Victorkkd (talk) 09:42, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps frustration? The intent is that users be able to find a source for information on Wikipedia. I.e. verifiabilitySo, if you can arrange thing so that Joe average user can figure out where the information came from, that would be in the spirit of verifiability. Much appreciated. Jim1138 (talk) 09:48, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So I will add the official site,I will add ISBN.Should that be good enough?In this case if someone saying"blog source"and remove it,he isn't being reasonable right?And again,what content of human shield is unsourced.Victorkkd (talk) 09:28, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think that would be a big help and would alleviate my objections! Thank you for doing this. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:56, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article scope is on topic

welcome to wikipedia to you to! :-)

I see you've deleted my talk page contribution.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page#Behavior_that_is_unacceptable

I'm sorry but there is nothing wrong with my post.

The scope of the article is multiple resarchers and multiple experiments.

The article is about the whole field of LENR, CMNS and cold fusion experiments.

It is not about a singular experiment. 84.106.26.81 (talk) 03:11, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All Saints Anglican School

Hi,

I'm the person who edited Cody Simpson into the article 'All Saints Anglican School'. I'm going to ask have you ever been to this school or not? I knew Cody well and he use to go to All Saints Anglican School with me. If you want a source, here is a simple one. This link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyMlA1kN7lw is the year 7 awards night finale. I was watching at the front row. Here is also another link which shows that Cody Simpson use to go to All Saints Anglican School: http://codysimpson.weebly.com/about-cody.html I still live in the Gold Coast, most people miss him including his friends. I hope these links will prove to you that Cody goes to ASAS.

Thanks, ASAS past student.


PS: Don't forget to put back my edit about Cody Simpson going to ASAS under 'Famous People'.

Hi, can you help me with a small project?

I would like to offload most of the sexism article into smaller sub-articles. I have noticed evidence of edit warring and significant clutter on this page. Reduction of clutter on a major page, and offloading the edit warring from the main page to the supplemental pages seems beneficial. 50.83.153.97 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:45, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edits on Keep Your Health Plan Act of 2013

Hi, your recent reversion on Keep Your Health Plan Act of 2013 caught my notice. You said that "defect" counted as a weasel word, but that's the exact word that was used in the source to describe what happened. More generally, I don't see how "defect" could count as a weasel word anyway - it means to leave the side you were on and join the opposing side. That would accurately describe the Democrats who voted in favor of this bill (and therefore against what the leaders of their party wanted). Anyway, at the very least, it would still make sense to leave the vote count in, instead of deleting it all just because you didn't like the word "defect". I'm going to replace that now. Thanks!

Class report

Hello Jim,

My husband and I are very disappointed in our son, T.J. Juckson, for making erroneous edits to Wikipedia pages. We've reminded him that it was Morgan Freeman, NOT Laurence Fishburne, who starred in Coach Carter. Thank you for catching his vandalicious acts.

We again apologize for T.J.'s hurtful, pornographic actions. He's threatened to warp our Kenny G albums, which we desperately need for our "whoopee making" sessions.

After we caught him making pro-revival-of-DOMA petitions, we've put him on a cocktail of herbal medicines and have instituted a fructose-free diet. No bananas for T.J. ;)

We wish you the best of luck in your hummingbird feeder endeavors.

Yours in Christ,

AMSN

Hello Jim,

I work at the AMSN National Office and the board of directors asked that I update all pages related to Medical-Surgical Nursing. The information that I changed was to reflect current information available on our website.

The changes were not a mistake as any additions I had would have been redundant. I apologize that you feel your information was compromised in anyway.

To confirm that these changes were legitimate you can call the AMSN National Office at 1-866-877-2676 and ask for Trish.

Indiggo

Hi, It's Indiggo, Mihaela and Gabriela Modorcea. Our user name is Indiggo77. Thank you for all your messages and tips. There is a user name with the number 63.247.160.139 who edits our wikipedia unceasingly and provides false information on us deleting all our citations from reputable sites and sources like billboard, broadway world etc. He keeps deleting all the citations and links that we and other users have provided. We are American citizens, featured in thousands of magazines, newspapers, TV shows..., professional actresses - graduates with honor from the National University of Theatrical Arts and Cinematography of Bucharest, SAG eligible; we are professional singers - signed under Sony BMG. The user 63.247.160.139 keeps saying "that we are aspiring actresses and singers". He is violating our page and our hard work and uses abusive, untruthful and harmful language! He also deleted our photo provided on Wikipedia with our cover of LA LA LA featured and credited on the Watch The Throne album of Jay-Z & Kanye West and released under DAS LAbel. Please, protect our page and do not let individuals who can not give their name edit pages and harming artists who have worked so hard to fulfill their dreams and achieve notability.
