 * The next time you create a vandalous page, could you at least try to be funny. If this mundanely tedious effort is typical of your work, it's no wonder you're not happy about your grades. Boring vandals are blocked more rapidly here than entertaining ones. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 23:38, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Liz. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on J. Derek Halvorson, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Liz Read! Talk! 22:43, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
