User talk:Terrible typist

@ John Yoo
Re: your edit here. Hi TTypist, I just wanted to let you know, that I'm not challenging the date with regards to accuracy/verifiability (as you might have noticed, I add the link myself earlier, but only in the edit summary). Instead, I prefer to remove the exact date of his birth on privacy grounds, as it relates to increasing the potential for identity theft. I hope that's clear and thanks for working on the article. R.

 * His date of birth is given in WHO'S WHO and other sources found in any good library, so it's hardly "private" information. He disclosed it himself, and sought a prominent government job, so he's not a private person. I've seen lots of Wikipedia articles that start out with the date of birth, as does most any encyclopedia. I really don't think identity theft is going to happen because we start the article by citing his WHO'S WHO entry.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Andjam (talk) 14:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
