I wish you luck in keeping the factoid that you just deleted out of the article. I think it's crazy to include that -- [one of seven cofounders] has a [father] who worked for a [large law firm] that worked with [Enron] -- which proves exactly what? But of course I'm biased [joke]. John Broughton 01:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm nothing if not persistent. I may disappear from time to time, but I am persistent.  ;-)  LOL @ the "bias!"  --Beth C. 01:28, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Something you might find useful
Good to cross paths again. I've been working on this, which you might find useful. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 01:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Please quote
I'm not sure what you are talking about (below). Please cite the alleged phrases.

[edit] Matthew Sanchez (talk) I "have an agenda?" I notice others have also noted you not assuming good faith. Interesting. --Beth C. 03:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Also, 'stacking the deck' doesn't make one in 'good faith.' I don't 'assume' good faith; rather, people EARN good faith by their actions.→ R Young {yak ł talk } 04:03, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * You certainly haven't earned my good faith at this point, although at least I tried. Your "agenda" remark can be found on the Sanchez talk page, which I will not discuss further here at MY talk page.  You seriously need to calm down about that one.  --Beth C. 20:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Eh, that article is a lost cause. If I were The Wiki God, I'd speedy-delete that shit. --Beth C. 01:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Saying Hello
Hello Beth, Thanks for your note on my user page. On the Magdi Allam page, I don't want to sound confrontational. I am sure we can arrive at an acceptable description of his views that will be both accurate and NPOV. No need to get excited about this. I'm just trying to reflect his views accurately. I am also pretty certain that there has been a great deal of criticism written about him in Italian, but unfortunately I cannot access this stuff (that is, until I learn Italian) SelfEvidentTruths (talk) 15:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Freedom's Watch
I would like to see your concerns regarding the "Jewish stuff" addressed . You may want to take another look at it. Best regards, Doright (talk) 06:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey y'all!
We're going to be having our first Mississippi meetup next month, and I would love it if you'd like to come out! A few of us will be staying overnight, so if you feel up to it, we could have a meet and greet that night and then breakfast the next morning and talk about Wikipedia and everyone's areas of expertise. Let's show 'em how it's done Southern-style! Mike H. Fierce! 21:56, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

AP – Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, questions Supreme Court … Play Video Video:'Extremely Troubling' FOX News Play Video Video:Sotomayor vows to use even hand in judging cases AP By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer Laurie Kellman, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jul 14, 6:28 pm ET WASHINGTON – Sen. Jeff Sessions, the Republican equating Sonia Sotomayor's supposed empathy with racial bias, was blocked from the federal bench himself two decades ago for making insensitive remarks about the Ku Klux Klan and the NAACP. The third-term Alabama senator, this week at least, is the face of a party without a clear leader. His role strikes some as hypocritical. But arguably, no one knows more intimately what a political minefield race has been for the GOP. '''Nominated by President Ronald Reagan to the federal bench, Sessions, then a federal prosecutor, was attacked by liberals for "gross insensitivity" on matters of race. Notably, he is reported to have joked that the KKK — a violent white supremacist group during much of its history — wouldn't be so bad but for their use of marijuana. The NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union, he allegedly said, were communist-inspired and tried to force civil rights down people's throats.''' '''Sessions' nomination never made it to the Senate floor. His home-state senator, the late Howell Heflin, voted against him.''' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.139.117.77 (talk) 01:07, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian in Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:01, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
