Advice
Your recent contribution(s) to are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! Addhoc 21:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Crop Circles
I have reverted your additions to the article Crop Circles. The material you added was uncited and drew unjustifiable conclusions. It is therefore unsuitable for addition to the article. You are correct that the article is biased towards crop circles being caused by humans. This is because all reliable sources indicate that conclusion. You may wish to read my user page and CITE.

 * I am not clear why a citation of a news article full of outrageous claims about Doug and Dave producing the entire phenomenon with their crude technique (an impossibility) is compelling. I was sure they were put up to it by MI-5 to throw the dogs off the scent of something unexplainable which was embarrassing to the government.

I have myself seen demonstrations of crop circle construction, using techniques very similar to those given in the article, which reproduce the circles the gentleman constructed in England very accurately. It is not impossible to make crop circles. It is in fact very easy.

With regards to the above, please see my user page, under Objection 2. You are right that something big is going on: the gentlemen created an entirely new large-scale form of graffiti. I will not engage in further discussion on this topic, because it has been covered before (see the references on the article) and there are other problems on Wikipedia for me to deal with.
