Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Jonathunder (talk) 19:26, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi JAndrew. Wikipedia isn't supposed to be censored, so well sourced but unflattering content is often included on public figures. Perhaps you can find sources to expand other aspects of the subject? The allegations seem to be pretty notable and well established. I don't think there is a good argument for hteir removal. But feel free to make your case on the article talk page.Freakshownerd (talk) 20:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm not trying to censor the material, only ensure its accuracy. I don't like having to constantly go through and point out that everyone is posting rumors and factually inaccurate information.

Edit summaries and signatures

An important part of being an editor is communicating, and an important part of that is using WP:Edit summaries -- you should use these virtually all of the time, although they aren't considered that necessary when reverting obvious (and I do mean obvious) vandalism. You always need to always sign your edits on talk pages (although I admit I forget at times), either by clicking on the tildes below the edit summary window or adding 4 tildes manually. I've also given you a huge list of links to read. :-) Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 07:51, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
