Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 03:09, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Your summary there is inaccurate but I don't see any way to edit it. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 03:13, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Well, no. And you're not allowed to edit other people's comments anyway. What part of it do you think is inaccurate? Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 03:21, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm normally allowed to comment on the errors people make, though. Please see the article talk page for details on what you got wrong. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 03:24, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Focus on the Family". Thank you. --Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 03:50, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

You are welcome! Why did you thank to you yourself :) Vanischenum^Talk 04:13, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

The instructions said to notify everyone, even myself, and the boilerplate includes the "thank you". :-) Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 04:14, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry. Vanischenum^Talk 04:17, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Nothing to be sorry for, as no harm was done. It was just slightly funny. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 04:18, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words.Vanischenum^Talk 04:28, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Being curious, I wonder what you will do when your IP address changes :) Vanischenum^Talk 04:32, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

That's something I hadn't considered. I don't know how often my IP does change, but I do know it's not guaranteed to be permanent. Still, if one day it becomes, say, 24.45.42.126, then I'm still the same person who once edited under 24.45.42.125, so the name still fits. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 17:25, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

That's cool and thought wisely. Thank you and Happy editing. Vanischenum^Talk 04:12, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Second welcome

Hello! I just wanted to say I'm glad you signed up, and I hope you have a good time on Wikipedia. :-) (Without, of course, being quickly blocked as you seem to expect!)

Just a suggestion for the FotF article (I looked up your edits, so if you feel like I'm Wikistalking you, feel free to tell me to stop.) For myself, I don't think the current source is sufficient to support that wording, the main issue being the "because of" statement. I would refer to WP:SYNTH, even though it's within a single source rather than between two sources - e.g. you might get further with, "...the Southern Poverty Law Center, which characterizes/has characterized it as...[etc]." I think that statement would definitely be justified, although you might still need to find more sources to support it. Arc de Ciel (talk) 04:45, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

No, your input is appreciated. I think we can deal with any objections to "because" by changing the wording a little. For example, "citing examples such as". Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 17:28, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Social conservatism, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. --Brandon (TehBrandon) (talk) 08:16, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
