Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to Kindergarten Cop. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.  J Rawle  (Talk) 13:20, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

John Kimble article
The article was deleted as the person in question was considered non-notable. The name was then turned into a redirect to Kindergarten Cop. You then removed all the information on Kindergarten Cop and replaced it with the Senate candidate. (I don't know anything about it, but it seems he was only a candidate, not a senator). Maybe you didn't realise you were editing the actual page about Kindergarten Cop, but that's the way redirects work.

If you want to edit a page about John Kimble, go to the page amd it'll redirect to Kindergarten Cop. At the top you'll see it says (Redirected from John Kimble) Click the blue link that is part of that message, and you'll see the content of the page is simply #REDIRECT Kindergarten Cop. Replace this with the new article.

Note that if the person in question is non-notable, it'll just be deleted again. I'm not going to get involved in a discussion of that as I know nothing about US politics.

By the way, please use my talk page to discuss things on Wikipedia rather than sending an e-mail. Thanks.  J Rawle  (Talk) 19:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
