George W. Bush
I reverted your edit, because you removed something that was not in contention (Gore being the nominee). From the placement of the fact tag, I presume that a source is being requested either for the "attack" (which I have now changed to "criticized"), or for the whole issue of the Bush going after Gore on the gun issue. - Crockspot 21:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know
Using ~ only works on talk pages and the such, it doesn't work in edit summaries...it'll only show up like that in edit summaries, not put a signature. Just wanted to let you know since it probably gets annoying for you to add that everytime, I know I would get annoyed if I had to add it to every edit summary.

Bill Gates
I note that you commented in a change to the article that "I have no doubt this god of a man gives to public schools almost five months without a citation on a man who is all over the internet". Let me tell you a little something; in Columbia, the 'drug lords' "are hailed by the poor peasants in Columbia as benefactors or even saviours, because these drug lords build schools, hospitals and create jobs for the poor." Bill Gates should not be considered some sort of saint (or, amazingly, as you wrote a "god of a man") since you must consider the source of his wealth which he is giving away; he didn't get it by being a nice guy, he got it by being a ruthless businessman and maintaining a user base through vendor lock-in. He has suppressed competition and stifled innovation. He is only a nice guy if the ends justify the means. Please see for example Criticism of Microsoft or some of my personal blog entries -- Limulus 21:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Jason Alexander
You deleted my trivia edit on Jason Alexander. Just to let you know, I have no idea how to cite sources, but I wanted to prove to you that I am not a vandal. http://youtube.com/watch?v=KS9popdh90k Kskk2 19:29, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Reggie Bush
Hi, Realm of Shadows -- just to let you know, your correction of grammar is incorrect.

It should read: the status of the many awards is uncertain....

The part (of the many awards) is a prepositional phrase. If you remove it, then it becomes clear....For example, "The status is uncertain." Adding prepositional phrases, doesn't change the subject of the sentence which is "the status". Thanks for your contributions, though. Obamafan70 (talk) 06:48, 8 September 2010 (UTC)


 * You are correct that:


 * 1) "Is" = singular
 * 2) "Are" = plural

However, the grammar correction concerns subject-verb agreement....

The status of the many awards is uncertain.

The phrase "of the many awards" is a prepositional phrase. It can be removed from the sentence, and it will remain a sentence.

Notice the difference when used this way....

The many awards are uncertain.

Here, awards is the subject. The verb is are.

Also, please use the 4 tildes to sign your name. Thanks, Obamafan70 (talk) 04:19, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposal on Hell's Kitchen (U.S.)
I am proposing a serious change to the Broadcast section of this article. Please take a look and provide feedback. Thanks Hasteur (talk) 01:16, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hello, I saw you on my watchlist. Just leaving a note here to remind you that you don't need to sign your edit summaries with four tildes (these thingies: ~), only your discussion page posts. Nice to meet you! Airplaneman  ✈  01:56, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * How many times do we have to say this? You don't need to sign edit summaries. Using four tildes does not work in this case.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 01:50, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
