Robert Sherrill

Thanks for adding to this article. I have removed the parts that were entertaining but unencyclopedic. Much of it was description or opinion that is considered original research here. Please see the information above for more on content policies. Your prose was enjoyable to read, but it lacked the kind of verifiability required for an encyclopedia article. We can't say (for instance) "Sherrill does not suffer fools gladly," but if someone wrote that about him in a published source, we can add it with the citation. Thanks again for adding to this, and if you have any questions, let me know! Jokestress 08:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Thanks for more work on this article, but there are some issues with your contribution. First, your claim that he did not work for the Post differs from his biography at The Nation. Second, the biography you added appears to be a copyright violation, an author bio copied directly from a published source (in violation of our policies). Finally, you replaced the entire biography rather than adding to it, thus removing wikilinks and references. I am going to revert your recent edit and add in any new information you found. If you have future additions, such as a published source that states he did not work for the Post, we can add those to the existing article, but please do not replace entire articles, especially if the replacement text is a copyright violation. This may seem frustrating, but all these policies are in place for important reasons. Thanks! Jokestress 15:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

Hi, please don't use dates like 02-20-2012 - these are expressly forbidden by WP:DATESNO, where it says 'Do not use year-final numerical date formats (DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY), as they are ambiguous: "03/04/2005" could refer to 3 April or to March 4. For consistency, do not use such formats even if the day number is greater than 12.' --Redrose64 (talk) 14:35, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.
