Franklin child prostitution ring allegations
Thanks for your note. This is certainly a complicated issue. The main issues for us here on Wikipedia are how to cover it while following some of the core principles of Wikipedia. First, we have to be very diligent when dealing with issues that involve living people, so as to avoid doing any harm (WP:BLP). Second, all material needs to be verifiable from reliable, published sources (WP:V). There are other important policies too, which also need to be followed (WP:NPOV, WP:NOR). Those make it difficult to include all of the alternative theories. If you'd like to discuss this further I suggest using the article talk page, talk:Franklin child prostitution ring allegations.

 * The article was originally very stable and had received favourable comments from several outside sources for it's coverage and neutrality. Unfortunately, there was an editor who would not allow any mention of the Republican party. After failing to get mention removed he eventually disrupted the article so much through tendentious behaviour that the article was stubbed. Basically, although you yourself were considered a reliable source, this problem editor canvassed for support to have your publisher declared unreliable and won. It was argued that if your publisher is unreliable, then by extention you can't be used as a source. Consensus can change so reliability could be brought up again. To get an idea of what a joke the entire dispute was I suggest you read this page which details some of the editors behaviour, and this section which is the noticeboard discussion regarding your reliability.

Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did to Franklin child prostitution ring allegations, especially if it involves living persons. Thank you. Bbb23 (talk) 19:06, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 15:03, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Signing your posts
Hi Nick, please can you sign your talkpage posts by typing four tildes (~), please see WP:SIG for further information. Regards, GiantSnowman 14:38, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, if you are signing with four tildes, the reason the signature bot is still autosigning your posts is because you've customised your signature and removed any links to your userpage, contribution page or talk page. Hopefully this was by accident, if so you can see How to fix your signature for how to fix it. If it wasn't by accident, do note it's generally accepted a signature should contain a link to at least one of those per WP:SIGLINK. This doesn't affect how signatures are displayed on the page however they do have to be compliant with the other guidelines and policies for signatures and since there is a User:Nick, I'm not sure that Nick would be acceptable.

 * It won't, it pings me automatically. :-( Nick (talk) 15:16, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Since we already have a User:Nick, you should change your signature and not use the simple "Nick". May I suggest "Nick B"? This will avoid possible WP:SIGFORGE problems. You will find that other contributors will address you as "Nick" or "Nick B" (or whatever you choose). Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 16:47, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
