Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 18:19, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

No, full protection would say "edit=sysop:move=sysop" - see this for an example. Your account is less than four days old, and is therefore affected by the semi-protection. B LACK K ITE  18:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi - I've only semi'd the page to prevent the edit-warring from the 98.x.x.x IP address. I blocked the first one, but it merely returned under a slightly different IP and continued the edit-warring and incivility.  I don't have a major opinion on the content (though I'd agree the George Bush quote doesn't belong in the lead paragraph).  I suggest you attempt to negotiate with the major "opposing" editors on the talk page / their talk pages for the time being, and I will unprotect the page if/when an agreement appears.  Thanks,  B LACK K ITE  18:36, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * It's probably worth reading the biographies of living persons policy here. There are multiple problems with that edit; amongst other things
 * "During Congressional investigations into the matter, a Department of Homeland Security employee with connections to Sutton lied to multiple congressional representatives..." - that's got nothing to do with the subject of the article.
 * www.wmd.com is not a reliable source. This makes at least two entire paragraphs ineligible (especially the "During the trial...." one.
 * The entire David Sipe paragraph is not relevant to the subject himself.

 * You'd be better off finding another source other than www.wnd.com, which is notoriously unreliable and biased. A quick look at thier list of books for sale should confirm this.  B LACK K ITE  19:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sources that take extreme positions are unreliable regardless of their political affiliation. I wouldn't trust this one just as much as I wouldn't trust www.wnd.com.  B LACK K ITE  19:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No, that should be fine. Let's see what others think now.  B LACK K ITE  21:41, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Please consider these as warnings against further vandalism of the Quanell X article and discussion page. Thank you.

I apologize for my confusion, I got reversed after seeing several items like this and was trying to clear things up and I guess I missed one. When I saw the anon IP correcting, I hit the "undo" button after getting confused thinking they had re-added the ebonics-speak instead of catching a repair I had missed. It happens, I'm under a bit of stress studying. Thanks for correcting me.

 * Thanks for the response; that would explain the accidental rvv. You had made some more constructive previous edits, and the ebonics reversal didn't quite make sense.  Those history logs can be confusing.
 * I haven't watched any of the referenced videos because we are blocked at work, but will take the time to do so later. I want to try and add to the Quanell X article without making tons of extraneous references to the Joe Horn affair.

 * I put your page on watch, to see updates to this conversation. I happen to be logged into the Houston Public Library Databases; there's some good articles on Johnny Sutton in their databases.  Your school's library probably cites the same ones if it has Infotrac or some other good database service.  I don't know anything about him, but it looks like he's an attorney involved with the Ignacios-Ramos border patrol affair?

That is right, he is the US district attorney responsible for the prosecutions of Ignacio Ramos, Jose Compean, Gilmer Hernandez, and Gary Brugman (but not David Sipe, who was prosecuted in a neighboring district). He spent a good deal of time earlier this year defending the prosecutions of Ramos and Compean on a variety of national and local radio shows. It appears to be his main issue of notability, though there is also the House of Death case which someone keeps trying to remove from the article.

I tried to make a compromise version of the page, but a bunch of users were edit warring and my version got lost in the shuffle. You can see my last attempt here before it was reverted by Brimba and Jons63 who have been edit warring there quite a bit.

Please also look at the difference between my edit and the edit Jons63 and Brimba seem to think they are fighting against, you can see the difference in this link. I try to make it as neutral as possible without losing facts.

Help request
helpme I merged Anne Casey and submitted Warith Deen Mohammed‎ as plagiarism as per each talk page, can someone check my work to be sure I did it correctly? I'm still learning here.
 * Warith Deen Mohammed‎ should not have been blanked based on the plagiarism. I tagged it for WP:CSD. That is a good page for you to review as well as Plagiarism. I use the template you placed if there is a question of plagiarism that you want someone else to review. If it is blatant, use the WP:CSD (either way works).

Ok, I'm confused: it was based on that I blanked the page because I couldn't find a good version to revert to. Please explain?
 * You were correct; the instructions on that page aren't very well known. What Gtstricky did is also correct; either method will mark the page for deletion. Don't worry about it. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 19:15, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
