Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, an article you recently created, Faces orlando, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Cheers, Jonomacdrones  (talk)  17:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies
See you've been working on some decidedly LGBT articles. Come on over to the LGBT Wikiproject. Poke around. See if you like it. The project is a good place to get feedback and help with style, etc. Consider joining? And always have fun editing! Zue Jay (talk)  19:30, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Warning
Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No, adding the Wikiproject banner to a page that has nothing to do with it is considered vandalism, regardless of the subject. There is nothing in the Jimmy Buffett article about homosexuality, so thus the banner should not be there. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Jimmy Buffett is also not a children's musician. Another user (perhaps the same user?) has been engaging in the same vandalism lately, and a block request has been made for him. If you persist in this conduct, a block will be requested for you as well. 1995hoo 13:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Hugh Grant
Please stop adding the word "Felatio" (which, incidentally, is correctly spelled "fellatio") to the Hugh Grant article. The reference source being used to defend the sentence does not use the word. Only information that is actually in the reference source should be included, particularly with respect to negative information in a biography of a living person. Please read the BLP policy. If you feel strongly that the article is incomplete without the term, please find a reliable source that supports the information and add it to the article. Risker 23:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It appears that, based on your post to the talk page of the Richard Gere article, you haven't bothered to read the BLP policy. I have reverted your post, which contained at least three violations of this policy, and probably a couple of violations of the no personal attacks policy as well. Please take some time to read the policy, and to understand that one cannot insert one's own personal opinions about someone (whether negative or positive) into a biographic article. When writing about controversial or negative factors in any person's life, you must provide a reference source that supports your words. Risker 21:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * My apologies, I stand corrected. You did not make any edits to Richard Gere, you made them to Hugh Grant.


 * Now to brass tacks. You are adding a statement that is controversial to an article. Read the policy on biographical articles of living people - any editor can - in fact SHOULD - delete unsourced controversial/negative facts from such articles if they are not associated with a reference from a reliable source.  It is up to the editor who wants to insert the material to find such a reference.  Without the reference from the reliable source, anyone can delete what has been inserted.  I am not going looking on the internet to find a source for an edit that I feel is completely unnecessary. The criminal charge is mentioned, by name. If you feel it is necessary to add a further description, then find a reliable source that uses the same description you want to add. Incidentally - in accordance with the BLP policy, the same standards apply to talk pages, not just articles. Risker 03:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Maria fuentes
An editor has nominated Maria fuentes, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Fan of the Show
I am sorry to dissappoint you, but I'm a mere fan of the L word, not of LGBT Lit. Mostly because it has a couple of my favorite actresses (Pam Grier, Jennifer Beals, Mia Kirshner). -- TLW 22:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC).

Edit summaries
Please don't use edit summaries to advocate a political stance. Edit summaries should tell what change(s) you made to the article or communicate other relevant information. --BigDT 20:54, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. Two other things: (1) Hillary has two L's and (2) when you post a message, you can sign using ~ .  The four tildes will automatically be translated into a link to your userpage and a time/date stamp.  --BigDT 21:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry ... I should have been clearer. You put the ~ directly into the message body at the end of your message, not the edit summary. --BigDT 21:13, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Theme song
In June 2007, Clinton spoofed the much-talked-about closing scene of "Made in America", the series finale of The Sopranos, with the subject being the voting for her campaign song. The parody shows Clinton entering a diner first to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'", then Bill Clinton coming in but not getting the onion rings he really wants, while daughter Chelsea is not able to parallel park her car. Sopranos cast member Vince Curatola also appears in the skit, mimicking "Members Only Man" but with his trademark Johnny Sack glare. Then the screen goes black.[36]

The campaign song selected was Céline Dion's "You and I", which garnered political criticism from Republicans for being from a foreign (Canadian) singer and artistic criticism from those not fond of Dion's music.

Sorry to break the news. Turtlescrubber 21:04, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Clinton/Obama ticket
Whether or not there is a Clinton/Obama ticket in the future is a non-starter in regards to adding a "possible theme song" to an article. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and that is the grounds by which I removed the link you added, not whether or not I think there will be such a ticket in the future. --Bobblehead (rants) 21:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Agree Strongly! However I will bet you a steak dinner there will be a Clinton/Obama ticket. (Mannhattans/Martinis Crab Cake for starters, New York Strip, Baked potato all the way, salad with blue cheese dressing, creamed spinach, fresh rolls (that when you open them "hot" comes out) with YOUR choice of Australian Shiraz and/or Sam Adams Lager. Then when we cannot take anymore, Key Lime pie with Gormet coffee and Frangelica liquor for dessert.  Followed by smuggled Cuban Cigars.Cr8tiv 17:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, but the question is.. Will Hillary like being the Vice Presidential candidate? :)--Bobblehead (rants) 22:17, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Eleanor Roosevelt

 * I am always pleased to make a new acquaintance. I think it's great that you've got a "pet project", but it has no connection of any kind with the Eleanor Roosevelt article, and is thus not appropriate to appear there. Please see WP:SECTION. Valrith 00:33, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Your comments on my talk page
Please stop. Your comments on my talk page are completely misguided. When I removed the link to Look alike contest from the Hoover article, this was not an attack on LGBT culture. I just thought that a link to a small, sloppy article about a party game was rather silly and trivial. Now that you've replaced the link, I won't remove it again, though neither will I object if someone else removes it.

I prefer not to have your tirade, in which you accuse me of "hate crimes" on my talk page. I am fully within my rights under Wikipedia rules to remove such comments from the page. If you persist in replacing your comments, you will be violating the No personal attacks rule. RedSpruce 15:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If an uninvited third party may weigh in, Cr8tiv, your accusations of "hate crime" are over the top -- way over the top. One of the fundamental principles here is to assume good faith on everyone's part. Throwing a tantrum on someone else's user page does not jibe with that policy. Courtesy will always get you where you want to go at Wikipedia (unless you're literally the only one who wants to go there). Tirades in ALL CAPS will tend to have the opposite effect. Hope this helps, and I wish you a long and satisfying career as a Wikipedia editor. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 16:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Once again, please stop posting your comments to my Talk page. Your latest comment was not abusive, and I appreciate that, but you're wasting your time and mine. I don't have any argument with you on any issue. If I did, I wouldn't be able to figure out what the heck your point is anyway. Please just take your crusade--whatever it is--somewhere else. I'm not interested.
 * Thanks, RedSpruce 18:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Blocked
Cr8tiv, you're out of line with this edit to say nothing of your other recent comments on Haizum's user page. I'm going to look into this a little deeper, but at a bare minimum you *must* maintain a civil tone when dealing with other editors. Content disputes on Wikipedia do not warrant this kind of behavior. I've blocked you for three hours. I trust that your conduct will improve upon your return.

I'll be back with further comment after I look over the history here.  A  Train ''talk 19:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Cr8tiv, I've reviewed your interaction with Haizum and I still find your comment to be completely unwarranted. You may feel that Haizum provoked you with this comment, but provocation is not an excuse for incivility and harassment. That said, you were probably upset by Haizum's comment. I'm willing to unblock you if you respond here with an acknowledgment of Wikipedia's civility policy and refrain from using inflammatory terms like "breeder".  A  Train ''talk 20:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough, but ask yourself, why would a man whose first language is plainly not English (his inflections and word choice are mechanical and have a Borat "now I speak English good like fellow American) style and Mr. Haizum history of Wiki edits are mostly political have not really involved American Sports. Suddenly a day after our Fued he takes an interest in Women's Tennis? Cr8tiv 20:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

BTW an inflection is an altered pitch/tone of spoken word. Since when are you hearing what I'm writing? Yeah, that's what I thought. --Haizum   μολὼν λαβέ 19:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)


 * So now you're doing ethnic stereotyping, Cr8tiv? In that last little rant, your own English doesn't exactly uphold the highest standards, does it? Heal thyself. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 22:17, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Billie Jean King
You have added back a section and a link to the article on Billie Jean King that is unrelated and trivial. There are clear policies about links and trivia within encyclopedia articles. These reflect a consensus view. It is therefore not necessary to generate consensus for each individual article when it comes to these policies. I urge you to review WP:TRIVIA and WP:EL. If upon review of those guidelines you still believe the material you have added is of merit, then please explain clearly and with specific reference to policy on the talk page why that is the case. It is generally not advisable to insert or reinstate material that runs counter to the guidelines that have been established by long-standing community consensus. I have undone your revision until it is clearer that this does not run counter to the policies I have referenced above. Eusebeus 12:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Unacceptable behavior
I have little to say above and beyond point out these comments:,. Haizum did nothing to provoke this and even if he did and I missed it, you're out of line. You haven't edited much in the last few days so I'm going to do nothing but watch. Please take this as a warning: if you come back and edit like that again, I will indef block you and let the community sanction board sort it out.  A  Train ''talk 18:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Look alike contests
Hi, this article needs help. I've never heard of these contests but it's a big world. It would help to have some online resources that advertise these contest sor talk about them - what are they called and what are they advertised as? Have you seen one yourself or read about it? It might be that they are more localized to one state or region. Any help appreciated. Benjiboi 02:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Donor cycle
I have nominated Donor cycle, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Donor cycle. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. --Dbratland (talk) 22:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
