Your recent edits
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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should 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 (talk) 20:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Editing comments post-facto
I would like to make a request that you do not go back and substantially edit your comments on talk pages long after others have responded to your points. It disrupts the flow of the conversation because we may have replied to a point you changed or erased, it may look like we are not replying to a point you edited in after our reply, and it is difficult to tell when you are making or changing a point. The best thing to do is write a new comment with any new information you want to present. Thanks. Tmtoulouse (talk) 17:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Very sorry about that! I appreciate the request and will comply to the best of my ability. Thanks for letting me know about it. I will do my best.Gordondavid (talk) 18:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Skeptic's Dictionary link stays
I appreciate your input, but I have heavily researched this and based on other wikipedia pages criteria on criticism, Skeptic's Dictionary is actually far more reliable and neutral than what is allowed on other pages, such as Sylvia Browne's page including a link to Stop Sylvia and Shooting Crap on John Edward's page. Bob Carroll is the respected author of The Skeptic's Dictionary. This is a small link, not disproportionate for the page. He cites all of his material from credible sources. If someone other than you or Jody would care to discuss the removal of the link, I will gladly discuss it, but considering both of your COI issues, I would prefer to discuss this with someone more neutral. That said, if you continue to remove the link, I will continue to put it back up. Lesley1914 (talk) 06:47, 18 November 2010 (UTC)lesley1914

Putting this site in external links is not the correct way to put up criticism. I will requesting admin help on this matter. Gordondavid (talk) 07:22, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I will also add that this is a biographical artical and is subject to rules of NPOV. Your site is clearly not neutral. Gordondavid (talk) 07:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I based this site off the ones listed under criticism on Sylvia Browne's and John Edward's pages. Bob Carroll is actually more neutral than many of the critical articles on their pages, and is the well-respected author of The Skeptic's Dictionary. I appreciate any help in appropriately listing this link. Lesley1914 (talk) 07:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC)lesley1914

Question for administrator
The site for Esther Hicks is a biographical article. The Skeptic's Dictionary has no place in the external links section. Do you agree? Thank you for your help! 07:35, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It has been removed by another editor. Admin aren't needed for this kind of edit, so you could use the regular helpme template (or boldly make the change yourself).  Thanks.   7  07:49, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Gordondavid (talk) 07:54, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
