Thanks
Thanks for the vandalism reversions Tide. Let me know if there's anything I'm supposed to be doing that I'm not to discourage or clamp down on this kind of thing. I haven't had it much before. I thought everyone loved me... ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:11, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Of course I will give you any help I can.  I really didn't dig deep into why that individual took those actions.  So I probably won't be much help in how to avoid them.  When it happens to me I just hope they get bored and move along. See ya  Tide  rolls  06:22, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay. Roger that. I have no idea what the vandalism is about. Somehow I feel a teensy bit responsible for people having to revert it. Especially now on my ummm "special" meta-talk page. :) Thanks again for your help. I will go about my business which may or may not be a good thing... ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:24, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Don't worry about the reversion thing. RC watching is my main contribution here as I'm good for little else :)  I looked at your page history and noticed the user registered two names to use only once (so far).  That kinda tells me that they have no real issue or they'd come to you in a more forthright manner. If they can't say what's really on their mind I wouldn't be too concerned.

Keep up the good work! I'm sure our paths will cross again before long! Kind regards, HJMitchell    You rang?  19:10, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * LOL....Thanks...I apologize for hogging the button. Seriously, you know how it is.  It's so blatant sometimes that you just can't leave the version you see. Regards.  Tide  rolls  19:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Indeed. I'll do the new pages since I can't get a revert in edgeways on the recent changes! It's a hard life this wiki gnomeish business! Have fun! HJMitchell    You rang?  19:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Your choice, of course. But we need all the eyes we can get on RC.  I don't even want to think about what is getting by me.  New pages is a challenge too, I'm guessing.  So you'll most likely be busy wherever you land.   Tide  rolls  19:25, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

ENEMIES WITHIN
Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. Vandalism cannot and will not be tolerated. Common types of vandalism are the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, and the insertion of nonsense into articles.

Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. For example, adding a controversial personal opinion to an article once is not vandalism; reinserting it despite multiple warnings is (however, edits/reverts over a content dispute are never vandalism, see WP:EW). Not all vandalism is obvious, nor are all massive or controversial changes vandalism. Careful thought may be needed to decide whether changes made are beneficial, detrimental but well-intended, or outright vandalism.

Enemies Within did not deliberatly attempt to comprimise the integrity of Wikipedia. According to your rules vandalism are the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, and the insertion of nonsense into articles. I did not do any of those things. I made an edit adding factual information and gave my source. I did everything in good faith. Brown Brother Harriman has a lot of evil to hide I was just speaking on that. My input was well-intended, it was not outright bull**** or vandalism I was reinserting the truth, vandalism should at least be a lie. Now, I would like to add to Brown Brothers Harriman without being labeled a vandal and threaten with banishment.Enemies within (talk) 09:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for taking the time to politely outline your position. Since you have made some effort to communicate I most likely will not revert you again if you decide to re-add the info.  However, until you provide reliable sources for the additions you want to make they may be reverted by other editors.  By way of explanation of my reversions I offer this (from WP:VAN) "Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. For example, adding a controversial personal opinion to an article once is not vandalism; reinserting it despite multiple warnings is  ".  You provided no edit summary, provided no reliable source for your edits and did not contact me after my first warning on your talk page.  Please make some effort to contact the regular editors on that article before trying to re-add the info.  Achieving concensus is one of the most binding policies on Wikipedia.  I hope this helps...good luck with your future editing.  Tide  rolls  13:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I will continue to revert these edits unless proper references from reliable sources are provided. They are serious allegations and require appropriately detailed references that actually support the points being made. Continuing to add them in the face of a clear lack of consensus from other editors is disruptive and could lead to a violation of the three revert rule. – ukexpat (talk) 13:51, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your input, ukexpat. I think our positions are identical.  Please understand that my "not revert" statement above was in response to the editor finally offering some communication.  I'm still holding on to good faith...though my strength is on the wane.  Tide  rolls  14:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks tide rolls for a respectful reply and an opportunity to improve myself. I disagree with the other guys opinion of my edit of Brown Brothers Harriman, it was not outright vandalism and it is not a vandalism only account as Drmies condemned me to. I was just concerned about the truth being published on wikipedia. I use wikipedia daily and rely on good info. The reference that I used to edit was just as direct as the reference used by the arthur of the article. I'm sure you have never checked the arthur's sources either or maybe you have but did you check mine. Besides, "ranting" as another vandal cop called it, is not vandalism. "Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism." I was speaking facts which the arthur did not want revealed. Avril Harriman wikipedia article and other wikipedia articles reveal these facts, so why shouldn't BBH. Wikipedia should not allow companies to suppress the truth. Wikiscanner has proven that companies omit and edit published articles to slant historical facts about their company. Anyway, I do agree I should not have keep reinserting after being warned. Good day Enemies within (talk) 20:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll be honest...I have not checked out any of the references for the article as it stood before you edited. That was not the task I was involved with at that moment.  If you have concerns about the references or any of the facts in the article then take them to the discussion page of the article.  That's the reason there is a discussion page.  A word of caution, though...simply listing the "The National Archives and Library of Congress" as references will not get you far.  You will need sources that specifically support your proposed additions.  Also, check the link in my original post for a definition of what constitutes a reliable source.  Please take User:ukexpat's caveat seriously...you do not want to reap the fallout from transgressing the three revert rule.  My best advice would be to develop a concensus before trying to re-add your edits.  You've been most polite here and have not tried to reinstate the edits in question.  Thank you very much for your patience and restraint.  Tide  rolls  20:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey Tide Rolls, do you think sterner measures are appropriate for the IP whom you just warned here? Truly, it's a vandalism-account. Thanks, and Roll Tide, Drmies (talk) 19:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I just slapped a vandal 3 warning on 'em for one previous edit, but looking through the history, it seems to be a vandalism-only account. What do you think? Drmies (talk) 19:12, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the "Roll Tide". It appears that you are pobably right about that IP.  The thing is, to get further along would mean enlisting the help (by making a very convincing case) of an admin.  Usually these drive by editors get bored and vanish before one can get the info together, find an interested admin, have them check it out, consult with others...etc.  If they have to block the IP enough the admins will examine the circumstances and act accordingly.  If you want to persue it I admire your "stick-to-it-ivness".  See ya' round  Tide  rolls  19:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

P.S. As to your addendum...pretty much the same answer. Its just a matter of would the effort yield a quicker result? It's a toss-up I'm thinking. Regards  Tide  rolls  19:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I did notify a friendly administrator. I think they are more hesitant to block IPs than user accounts, but still, it's worth it. Look, that edit of yours was for an article I just got a DYK badge for--that's like having a wedding during the Iron Bowl: it shouldn't be possible. Or legal. Later, Drmies (talk) 20:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You're killing me here..LOL Seriously, I think your frustration is experienced by almost every editor as some time or another.  Anon editing is a cornerstone at WP....Problematic? Without question.  I've just made up my mind to resist fixating on it.  That's easy for me (I know) due to the fact I don't make anywhere close to the number of "substantive" edits you and others have made or will make.  I just hope you can find your own "zen-editing-mantra"...congrats on the DYK badge, btw...good work!  Tide  rolls  20:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Apologies for not answering sooner. I think by now you have probably gotten deep into the circumstances and so any help I could offer is probably stale.  I looked at the IP's edit and saw an edit summary "archive".  It did seem that they were archiving...I do not know enough about archiving to know when it's been executed properly.  (My own archiving is clunky and probably comedic to someone that knows what they're doing).  I'm sure there are users that could give you more helpful guidance on that kind of thing.

My paycheck comes out of big Auburn, but it has to travel an hour or more by mail, so I hardly feel like an Auburn person.

WikiProject User Rehab
Would you be interested in joining this project? We need more editors who share a burden for rescuing promising editors who have gotten into serious trouble because of behavioral issues. IF (a fundamental condition!) they are interested in reforming and adapting to our standards of conduct, and are also willing to abide by our policies and guidelines, rather than constantly subverting them, we can offer to help them return to Wikipedia as constructive editors. Right now many if not most users who have been banned are still active here, but they are here as socks or anonymous IPs who may or may not be constructive. We should offer them a proper way to return. If you think this is a good idea, please join us. Abce2 | Access  Denied  12:18, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I'll outline my way. I hope no one with any knowledge reads this, they will probably die from laughter.  I create a page (you can click on one of my archive links to see an example).  Of course there is no such page, so the system provides a link to post a message to the new page.  I click the link and open the new page.  In another screen I open the talk page I want to archive and click on the "edit this page tab".  I highlight the entire text I want to archive, then copy and paste it onto the "new" page.  I place links on both pages linking them to each other with a short explanation on the archived page as to what is going on.  There are undoubtedly easier more technically sexy ways to accomplish this task, but my way works and that'a all I require.  If any of this is unclear let me know...I'll try to help out.

Thanks for vandalism revert
Hi TR- Thanks for reverting Jarlyn's vandalism to my user page. How did you notice it? Do you have some routine that alerts you when a user's page is edited by someone other than its user? Eric talk 18:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Not exactly, but close. You can see how I did it here.  I know most users are capable of maintaining their pages without my help, but users may not log in regularly.  That's why I butted in...thanks for the positive feedback.  See ya 'round  Tide  rolls  23:12, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * TR, no good deed goes unpunished. This same user vandalized my page again. I haven't yet learned the warning system, and don't have the time at the moment to fully wade through the boggy maze of wp template guidance. If you have a second, do you mind telling me if I picked a good approach here? Thanks, and I'll watch here. Eric talk 20:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I can say that your message to User:Jarlyn was certainly justified. However, I believe that simply reverting and ignoring would be your best option.  To get futher along would require that an admin intercede and I'm thinking that's not likely.  Due to the fact that the user is only making one or two edits weeks apart makes it difficult for the admins to establish a pattern to act upon.  I agree that the user's edits seem disruptive and not aimed at helping build an encyclopedia.  However, if you contact an admin and they do agree that action is necessary the user might take it personally and simply attack your page more.  Run this by any admins that you know and get their feedback.  I can tell you that there are many editors watching the encyclopedia at all times and they are able to catch most vandalism.  That, combined with your own vigilence, will cover most incidents.  I did not mean to mislead you about a "warning system".  I was referring to the software that some rollbackers use to see page blankings etc.  Try not to let the not-so-serious users distract you from contributing.

Should his other edits be considered vandalism, too? Half Shadow  17:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm looking now. Finding sources (or lack thereof) is taking time.  Tide  rolls  17:21, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That's why I didn't want to do anything; there's a difference between blanking a page and changing numbers I know nothing about. It could be vandalism (given what he's done so far) but on the other hand... Half  Shadow  17:23, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I know, believe me. I think I'm right, but I think my reversion was a flag icon change with no corresponding value changes.  That's all I felt confident in reverting out of hand.  If I'm wrong, well I'm toast.  I've seen these kind of edits en masse before and they're aggravating.  I'm trying to keep from mass reversion....what a temptation. :-\  Tide  rolls  17:26, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I think you did the right thing in reporting him. To me, there is nothing worse than subtle vandalism of the type which changes numbers, stats, facts, etc. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:58, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm going to go over the IP's other edits, but I don't think I'll find grounds to revert.  There may be some that are glaring enough but I don't have the in-depth references to revert the incremental changes this type of "editor" exhibits.  Tide  rolls  18:03, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Be careful about reverts at Paranormal State
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page 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. Though regular editors might be concerned with the lack of sources for the IP's change, if a 3RR complaint is made, all parties would be scrutinized. It is better for you to file this at a noticeboard rather than doing yet more reverts. Also, there is nothing by you on the article's Talk page to explain your preferred description of this show. EdJohnston (talk) 02:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Point taken. I see that you have posted a warning on the IP's talk so I will assume that you saw the messages I posted there.  Since my position stated there is not mitigating the circumstances, I will not be reverting edits made to that article in the future.  Suffice it to say, it was never my intention to engage in a content dispute.  Apologies for the time and effort this may caused you or others.  Thanks.  Tide  rolls  05:14, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello again Tide rolls, I noticed your reverts at Paranormal State, so I tried to find some sources to see which view point was correct, yours or the IPs, I came open with a few sources stating it is a docu-drama, so have reverted the anons latest edit and introduced a source, just letting you know incase you have an objection, hope you don't mind my butting in, all the best SpitfireTally-ho! 10:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Quite the contrary, I applaud your effort. I had done a cursory search of my own as I beleived the IP was attempting good faith editing.  My position from the outset was that they were edting against concensus and trying to prove a point.  Personally I think that "reality" and "television" are, practically speaking, mutually exclusive.  But, that is my POV...my POV is not relevant (unless I can source it).  Thanks for bringing your considerable talent to bear in this situation.  I know the system can work...'tis just exasperating at times :)  See ya 'round  Tide  rolls  10:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Bethany College
Dear "Tide rolls"

Writing in regards to your comment about my edit to Bethany College's Wikipedia entry. Your allegation is that an edit which REMOVED a derogatory reference to one of the College's teachers was unconstructive. You also reverted the edit and re-inserted the "I hate Ms Fowler" comment.

I suggest you cease your threats. This article presented one of our staff in a negative light. Furthermore, I advise you to carefully observe changes to articles in the future and make more educated judgements which will protect Wikipedia's neutrality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.236.57.199 (talk) 04:12, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Apologies, but I see nothing of what you assert in the two edits I made to that article. Regards  Tide  rolls  04:23, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not censored. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GoGoWikiRangers (talk • contribs)

 * "wikipedia is not censored" is not a good rational for blanking a section like that, this edit summary is much better: 1, in future always give a good reason like that in edit summaries, however, the fact that the alternate ending section was also removed in the initial edit by GoGoWikiRangers is worth noting, I agree that the parent guide was unencyclopedic, but in future be careful not to remove more then you mean to, just my perception of the facts SpitfireTally-ho! 17:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Once more, Spitfire, you have hit the nail on the head. My revert was motivated by removal of cited information.  I do not use HG with relation to content disputes.  I respect User:ukexpat's assessment of the content and would have no problem with its deletion.  If GoGoWikiRangers had not made this edit (in addition to two strange edits to a redirect which I did not revert) immediately before the section blanking, the edit summary would not have appeared as disingenuous.  Additionally  this edit which, due to its mark up, would not have been visible to the article's casual reader was not helpful or constructive.  I hope this editor realizes their potential for positive contribution...time will tell.  Thanks for your input.  I hope things are going well for you...always good to see you posting here.

 * Blanking of content without explanation is a common tactic for vandalism. If this was not your intent, I apologize.  The only interest in the article's content that I have is from the perspective of a Wikipedia reader.  Looking at your contributions I see that you have not made any effort to contact other editors on the article's discussion page.  There is a very indepth discussion regarding the sentence you are trying to edit.  Perhaps you can direct your attention there and find out if your addition matches the consensus of the other contributors.  Whatever course you choose I wish you luck, but please do not come here and tell me how to edit.  Regards  Tide  rolls  03:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Good to hear from you...take care  Tide  rolls  16:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I have read the guideline for external links and there is a statement that could be problematical. In the section titled "Links normally to be avoided" there is this.."11)  Links to blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority (this exception is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for biographies)".  The pivotal concept is "recognized authority"....note that this exception has limited application.  If you could provide facts that support your status as a recognized authority then your case for inclusion of the link would be strengthened.  It's my assumption that the anon IP(s) are relying on this stipulation for their continued deletion.  Please check with other editors whose judgement you trust...this is unfamiliar territory for me and my analysis, though well intentioned, may not cover the subject completely.  I feel that you are editing in good faith and I apologize for not providing you with more solid support.

If you see someone doing that in the future, don't bother warning him, just report him to AIV straight away. If you want, make a note that he is the "infringement" vandal.

I don't really know if it was an editor that was too inexperienced to get their point across or if they were simply trying to create a niche in which to fit.  I fear they have reached a frustration level that will prevent their contributing...for a while.  It would've been interesting to see if there was really an article there.  I've never been to a game in T-town...only Bama game I've seen was played locally.  Scott Hunter was second string QB...so, that tells ya how long ago we're talkin' :)  Tide  rolls  21:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

This is copyright infringement from other website. dont revert it.--Cveloe (talk) 01:32, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I can appreciate that fact and have not reverted your other edits which carried summaries explaining your action. The edit I reverted had no such summary.  My apologies for the revert, but any help you can provide by providing summaries is very helpful.  Regards  Tide  rolls  01:35, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks



 * You're welcome. You got him off mine as well, so I thank you.  See ya 'round  Tide  rolls  05:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, a little bit of a surprise when I saved my section to find that image on there... And you're quite welcome :) Until It Sleeps Wake me 05:02, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm thinking it was a weird edit conflict glitch. My HG has been puking all night, so I'm struggling to make sure I'm not "over reverting".  I've seen several "action timed out messages" that were not true.  Must be sunspots  :)   Tide  rolls  05:06, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well these reply's are manual... I wish Gurch would hurry up and update the lite version... the full version is... crippled. It's slow as heck, and there's more bugs than ever... They just need to rewrite the whole thing, and in something other than Visual Basic .NET... Until It Sleeps Wake me 05:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * My PC is old so I have that to overcome as well. I'm just glad there are so many watching RC because I know I'm missing many edits that need to be at least looked at.  Tide  rolls  05:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, at least my PC is much newer... On my old, ancient tower, 8.3 onward would actually lock up on my computer. 9.1 would probably force me to reset my computer due to the massive amount of bugs and bloat in it...

 * I started with 9.0 so I can't compare the versions. I'm using the full version and I usually have to log out and restart every hour to 90 minutes.  Not that bad, but very ineffecient.  Tide  rolls  05:23, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

June 2009
i m sry that one of my friend came to my house, use my computer and randomly reedit some wiki pages. i m leaving this comment in hope to remove my warning since i DIDN'T reedit the pages ;(   . if possible, please give me another chances, and i won't let anyone do this again  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.253.217.53 (talk) 03:42, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Assuming good faith I'll take you at your word. You don't need my persmission or approval to edit Wikipedia.  All that is asked is that you act responsibly.  As long as no more bad edits are made from your computer, then the warning left on your page will mean nothing.  If you need any help feel free to post here.  Good luck  Tide  rolls  03:50, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure that reverting the edit by 24.16.46.210 from the page Liberty Senior High School was clear vandalism. I don't know if you meant to revert that, or just were going over it too fast? Anyhow I thought I would bring that to your attention. <B> SparksBoy </B>(talk) 05:26, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the feedback, but I do think the edits were vandalism. "Bradden Timm" was added as a notable alum and then "Chrissy Hughes'" entry was changed to Bradden Timm.  Then the original Bradden Timm entry was re-added.  Then "Meagen Wicker" replaced Bradden Timm in the Chrissy Hughes entry....all the time the entry still referencing "Chrissy" in the text.  And none of these edits had summaries.  Like anyone I am capable of error...I don't think this revert was one of those times.  Regards  Tide  rolls  05:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, I am going to give you a pointer... Try to use the message templates, instead of warning (vandalism warning should be used for blatant vandalism.) Anyways keep up with the good work. Cheers <B> SparksBoy </B>(talk) 05:39, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I like to avoid the bitey approach myself (I know you don't know me...I can show you many instances if you'd like). The templated message I left mentioned "unconstructive" and "testing", not vandalism.  I think we're in agreement generally, so thanks for the heads up.  Tide  rolls  05:48, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Use the talkpage if you disagree with my edits. 173.66.36.76 (talk) 19:10, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Since you've never posted there I wasn't sure you knew where it was. Please stop removing cited info from articles.  This course of action will not serve you well.  Regards  Tide  rolls  19:12, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, please keep in mind that reverting a Wikipedia page more than three times in a 24-hour period would be a violation of the three revert rule (WP:3RR) and would result in a block. Also, accusing another editor of vandalism when you disagree with the editor's edits is generally considered uncivil. I suggest you use the talkpage to explain your views. 173.66.36.76 (talk) 19:15, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I've explained that you are removing cited information. Do not post here again.  Thanks  Tide  rolls  19:17, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Please self revert yourself ASAP or risk an outcome you might regret William M. Connolley (talk) 21:16, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I've undone my last edit per your instruction. May I ask why you have asked that the blanking of cited content be reinstated?  Tide  rolls  21:38, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Because you don't want to be blocked for 3RR William M. Connolley (talk) 21:44, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem, to be honest, the edit's looked suspect to me too. I've seen you work and know you're not one to edit war. Cheers :). Soxwon (talk) 01:29, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
Hi Tide rolls. Everyone notices your good work with fighting vandalism, so I was just wondering, why don't you get yourself rollback rights? As you probably know already, it makes fighting vandalism a lot better and someone with a record like yours deserves to be more than just a regular user. What do you say?-- The LegendarySky Attacker 23:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I plan to ask for rollback in the near future. I was granted rollback in March '09 and requested it be rescinded so that I could spend a bit of time studying policies and guidelines.  I had taken some actions that prompted an unexpected reaction from editors that I respect.  I'm thinking that taking some time to edit manually will help me "re-learn" how to best build an encyclopedia.  I've seen and appreciated the work you do on recent changes and I'm encouraged by the fact that you find my contributions an asset.  Thanks for the positive feedback.  See ya 'round  Tide  rolls  00:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think rollback would be a good idea for this user since he is obviously biased toward a certain school religion. Drmies (talk) 06:39, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Would it mitigate the circumstances if I confessed to the aforementioned faith bias in the interest of full disclosure?  Tide  rolls  00:05, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * How about I put all kidding aside and just say that I have the utmost confidence in you as an editor? Roll Tide! Drmies (talk) 00:57, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
