I see you're making changes to this article. However, you can't just add random external links and unsourced statements. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 01:32, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No need to email me to communicate. Just use my talk page.  My point still stands, you can't add unsourced claims as you are doing.  You are also adding spam links, which is against Wikipedia policy.  Don't take it personally, you obviously have good intentions, but there are a few rules to learn and follow.  I'll leave you a welcome message on your talk page that includes links that you can read.  Jauerbackdude?/dude. 01:51, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
