The National Monument to the U.S. Constitution

HelpME: I'm obviously very confused. The information that I have placed into the article is absolutely accurate. I can't seem to figure out how to add catagories and don't quite understand what is being requested as to documentation. I have included many links. I have tried to link to the Wiki article on Brett Livingstone Strong, but it keeps rejecting it. Don't know why. Please help me to get this right.

Let's talk more on the talk page -- Mad Pierrot (talk) 04:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The National Monument to the U.S. Constitution

HelpMe: I tried to delete the "deletion box" but it came right back. I'm also planning to add additional pictures of the Monument in major National events. Don't know if that adds any credibilty to the article. Its hard to link the monument to other articles without going into those articles and adding the information about the monument. i.e. The bio of Warren Burger mentions his being chairman of the Commission, but doesn't mention that he commissioned the monument(s). do I go in and add the monument information to his Bio, which by the way is what I did? Still can not figure out catagories at all. I've read and re-read the article about catagories and for my own part, it is Greek to me.

Speedy deletion of article The National Monument to mthe U.S. Constitution

HelpMe Are you the one who removes the speedy deletion of the article? Obviously I own the WEB site your refer to: WWW.spiritoffreedomtour.org. I have now sent the email giving Wikimedia permission to use our material. Please advise. Larry Creeger --Lawrence Creeger (talk) 03:27, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"openly straight" edits

Thank you for getting in touch with me, and for stating your position with regard to my edits. I am sorry to hear that you feel they are a "joke." The Wikipedia page for B.D. Wong, another actor who stars in Law and Order SVU, states that he is "openly gay." (I quote: "Wong, who is openly gay, began a long-term relationship with talent agent Richie Jackson in 1988.") A search for "who is openly gay" on Wiki reveals 72 hits. Before I edited several articles, a search for "who is openly straight" turned up nothing.

I am sorry, but I cannot accept your position that this discrepancy represents some kind of neutrality. In fact, I believe that my edits were aimed much more clearly at approaching neutrality than is your reversion.

If you insist that the "openly straight" edits be removed, I must insist that the 72 references to being "openly gay" be removed as well. "Openly gay," when used in this way, implies that the individual should have something to be ashamed of, but that they overcame it. I'm sorry -- that's doesn't feel like neutrality to me.
