Welcome
Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules. If you want to learn more, Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy: Help FAQ Glossary Manual of Style Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 06:55, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Marshall Rosenbluth
Hi. It is great that you are expending the Marshall Rosenbluth article. I just had to remove the university of texas memorial text because text copied verbatim is probably a copyright issue unless we get explicit permission. Otherwise, it is looking good. --Bucephalus 14:19, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Benny "The Jet" Urquidez entry
Hello Jcandy,

I just reviewed the history of the Benny Urquidez entry and noticed that you wrote its initial major sections, and that you subsequently attempted to maintain a neutral point of view with facts supported by legitimate citations, often defending the entry against bogus speculation. Unfortunately, this entry has now drifted dangerously in the direction of "biased points of view" and "original research". In my personal opinion, as an experienced national newsstand magazine editor and motion picture producer, parts of this entry now could be construed legally as libel. It seems to me that much of the questionable content began with Japanese source citations that cannot be verified by English-speakers and which, in at least one case, I have confirmed as misconstrued or flatly incorrect.

I would ask you to look at the STAR System website in which, at the tail end of the homepage article "Setting the Ring Records Straight," I delineate all the distortions I have discovered in the Urquidez entry. Since my friend John Corcoran and I originated the STAR System world kickboxing ratings and this website, I thought you might want to review its contents and assist in pulling the entry back in the direction of neutrality, verifiability and simple basic fairness to Benny Urquidez.

Thank you, Paul Maslak (talk) 05:26, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
