Hello, I'm Spencer. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Maynard James Keenan, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks,  Spencer T♦ C 00:55, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Spencer, I just now saw your comment, and have spent some time wandering all over your "Talk" page, but frankly have no idea how to simply communicate with you. I am a colonel in the US Army. My facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=776760522. My West Point year book photo is at http://www.e-yearbook.com/sp/eybb?school=61&year=1988&up=2&startpage=459. I have a USMAPS yearbook somewhere at home to show James "Maynard" Keenan and I were in the same Prep School class. I didn't really know him, but I am sure as to the origins of the slang word "tool" that came into vogue from 1984-1985. Because this word originated specifically in our Prep School class, and gained popularity into our Plebe and Yearling (Freshman and Sophomore) years, I know exactly what it means and why James decided to name his band as he did. I doubt the person who provided the definition or explanation that it means everybody who is in the military is a tool and that's why he decided to drop out knew what they were talking about. I'm not sure how else to make a citation, but I know that I, as a source, am reliable. What do you suggest? Davebennett88 (talk) 20:22, 5 April 2013 (UTC)Dave Bennett (davebennett88@hotmail.com)
