User talk:Robert Johnston

Hello, Mr. Robert Johnston, it seems that you have added the name of Alvis Brooks back to the article on Shelby, Mississippi at the advice of M.D. Lawes. Mr. Lawes and I have discussed this for some time and I told him that if he could not find a reference, printed or online, for this information, it would be deleted. Of course, I would make sure the reference exists. I haven't found a single relevant Google hit for Alvis Brooks, nor have I found one for the KT socket wrench, the tool he supposedly invented. Mr. Brooks, if he is real, may be well-known locally, but if he is not notable on a larger scale, such that an unbiased third-party source cannot be found about him, then any information about him will most likely be deleted. Now, you edited his name back in and described him as the brother of Mel Brooks. If you are talking about the famous actor and comedian, the only notable Mel Brooks, I'm afraid that you're mistaken. Mel Brooks had three brothers named Bernard, Leonard, and Irving.[1][2]Also, neither being related to a notable person nor being a war veteran makes a person notable; if either did, we would have thousands of articles on virtually unknown people. For now, I'll assume that you have added his name out of genuine interest to improve Wikipedia, but I have deleted the mention of Alvis Brooks in the article for now. --Qmwne235 17:10, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Shelby, Mississippi

I note from the above comment that you are in disagreement with User:Qmwne235 however disrupting articles to make a point as you did to Shelby, Mississippi with this edit is not an acceptable way to proceed and could be considered a personal attack. Please could you try to resolve your difference in a way which is civil and which does not disrupt the encyclopaedia. Kind regards, nancy ^(talk) 20:49, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Nancy. will do! Regards, Robert :)

Hey Robert, Do I know you from here? Aren't you from Clarksdale?
