I have noticed your threat to get an administrator to suspend one's account if he removes Alvis Brooks from the list of notable people from Shelby, Mississippi. To clarify what "notable" means, it means that there must be reliable third-party sources with which to verify the information as per WP:N. A quick Google search of "Alvis Brooks Mississippi" will yield only seven results, none of which are useful. It is probable that Mr. Brooks was a kind farm mechanic who touched many lives and we take your word for it, but I and many others sincerely do not believe he belongs on a list of notable people. As for the threats to get a user banned, not only are threats highly discouraged, but in this case, it wouldn't work. I'm somewhat familiar with criteria for banning, and removing a non-notable person from a list of notable people isn't one of them. In fact, it takes quite a bit to ban a person, even if they did do something wrong (which I didn't). I suggest that, if any of your changes are reverted without clear signs of vandalism, you ask the reverter why or post a message on the talk page of the article. Thanks! --Qmwne235 23:14, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I would just like to mention something about the one to whom the threat was made. Nyttend, the first reverter, is an administrator, and, as such, his account cannot be suspended by another administrator unless he is stripped of his power, which is unlikely to happen soon. --Qmwne235 23:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sir,

     Your loutish message to me was not inferential to my small addition to Shelby, Mississippi. I will be mirthful to overlook it as an admirable person I am. For one I appreciate your desire to keep people informed on only gratifying information about this small delta town. I am delighted to inform you that this extravagant man is in the local history books. I am sure not many people will be doing research on this town. I have lived here for forty-five years. I can assume you have never been here? There is of course nothing to visit here unless you have relatives or want to see the three last old blues juke joints that still sentiment here. 

By the way dear sir,

            Anyother person has posted Mr. Brooks name up and it wasn't me. I went to standpoint his name back up and someone else has posted it, rather it was a local or some Admin that allowed it I don't know. I also wasn't aware of the invention the person posted about Mr. Brooks. If this fact is true I have learned something new about this man. I am sure you will waste your God-sent time researching it for me.
             Be well my friend,
                               M.D. Lawes
