USHMM
Dear colleague. I am well aware that USHMM is a very respectable establishment and doing an important job. And of course, it is hardly can called a spamming organisation. I apologize for the use of this word. Still, wikipedia has a certain policy with respect to external links. Unfortunately I don't have time at this very moment to write a longer text.

Please consider the difference between the goals of USHMM and wikipedia: your goal is to preserve all information (and as I see it, about various kinds of massive-scahe human abuse). Wikipedia's goal is to provide a systematic and to various degrees, summarized information in encycloopedic format. In a certain way this difference is similar (although superficially) between a scientific article in a specialized journal and an article in, say, National Geographic or Nature. Fortunately, wikipedia articles have a possibility to fill the whole range between a "strict" sci and "pop" sci in the level of detail. Still, wikipedia is supposed to be a self-contained collection of information, rather than a repository of various links.

Copyrights
It came to my attention that a significant part of the Nesse Godin article is verbatim cut and paste from the Wolfman Productions website. This constitutes copyright violation ("copyvio" in wikipedia slang). Wikipedia treats copyrights very seriously, since this is a clear legal threat. I understand that you are new to wikipedia and not aware of certain rules. Please read Copyrights and Copyright FAQ.

Your case: while the list of awards of Nesse Godin itself is not copyrightable, the presentation of the material clearly is. Therefore fortunately you may easily clean the article of copyvios by rewording the enumeration and removing or rephrasing other details. Another approach is to obtain the permission of the original author (or actual copyright holder if it is not the author) to use the material in wikipedia under the terms compatible with GFDL licence. Please do so in the nearest time of your convenience, otherwise the copyvio piece is bound to be deleted.

Images
The same applies to images. I noticed you uploaded several images to Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia has essentially the same copyright policy as wikipedia. Please read Copyright tags and Image copyright tags carefully and act accordingly, otherwise the images you uploaded will be deleted soon (they are already marked with warnings). `'mikka (t) 00:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Michael Savage (commentator)
Your recent edit to this article included Savage's weight and height. This is good information, but I am curious about your source. Information in Wikipedia must be verifiable. What is your source for this information. Ursasapien (talk) 09:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
