cite format
Since you had some questions regarding how to cite sources properly here is a list of the various cite templates. It's best to fill out as much information as possible, although you probably won't get all the information. In that case leave the parameter blank. You may want to consider updating refs you have added with additional information. Sifaka 15:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
refTools
Regarding this query last week: For future reference and ease of referencing consider enabling refTools. To do so, select my preferences at the top right corner (it's between my talk and my watchlist). Once preferences is loaded, select gadgets and then check the refTools box and hit save at the bottom of the page. Then a new buttom -- like this 
will appear in your editing tool bar. It makes adding references of all sorts much easier. Nja 12:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Ty Sifaka and Nja. Nja, would you be my reference and citation mentor?--scuro (talk) 13:25, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- No problem on the refTools, as for your other request: I don't think that would be the best situation for either of us considering past tensions. I'd be willing to help find suitable candidates though if you're having trouble finding someone, and if you don't want to take a chance with whomever Arb places with you. Nja 14:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- I thought I installed it, but I don't see the icon thingy. I'll look at it more closely this week. You know, finding or understanding what a proper reference is, has never been a problem...simply they were not respected in the past and that is why I avoided them. Citing them properly just requires learning and the curve doesn't look that steep. This is why I picked you and you seem to know what you are doing. There is not much to this except a little teaching and I thought it might be a good bridge for us and allow us to work together for the first time,...but I understand. It doesn't matter who is chosen as long as they know what they are doing.--scuro (talk) 21:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sometimes you need to bypass browser cache for new tools to show. Type 'bypass cache' + the name of your browser (e.g. firefox) in google if you're unfamiliar with bypassing the cache. That should sort it if you chose refTools in your preferences and hit save. Nja 14:01, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
- I see a bookmark icon now. An open book with a red ribon. When I press it, < ref > add reference < / ref > appears...simply allowing me to do what I have done before. If I don't press shift reload page the icon disappears.--scuro (talk) 18:14, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
- No you should see the cite icon as I posted above. Did you turn it on in 'my preferences', or did you do it manually by pasting the code into your monobook.js file? Nja 18:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
- I've got a mac, tried three different applications, including firefox and safari. The box is checked but no icon when I go to edit.--scuro (talk) 13:14, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Straw Poll
Hi, you were involved in the discussion at Talk:Ron Paul. A straw poll is currently being conducted to discern concensus.Chhe (talk) 13:42, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello, scuro. I've put forward another proposal in an attempt to resolve the content dispute at Ron Paul. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks! Nick Graves (talk) 17:00, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
September 2009
This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
The next time you make a personal attack as you did at Talk:Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. You have made multiple personal attacks, accusing members of all sorts of things, culminating in a personal attack on Doc James and myself. You know fine rightly that I used 95% plus of sources to high quality secondary sources, meta-analysis and review articles. You are intentionally trying to belittle and smear opposing editor's characters, using malicious false accusations. You have also been baiting people with previous edits on talk pages in the past couple of days. Literaturegeek | T@1k? 00:29, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- I have requested administrator Xeno's help with regards to your threats. --scuro (talk) 00:55, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- LG, to me that isn't really a personal attack, rather Scuro's opinion. I wish you lot could learn to edit in a way that was productive to Misplaced Pages without getting too touchy over things said. Nja 06:13, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

- I'd love to edit together with those holding minority opinion, NJA. They have avoided EVERY attempt at mediation or true consensus building. But that's what happens when editors are allowed to bring cases to arb com having never attempted these normal methods of seeking agreement. Why bother seeking a meeting of the minds when you don't have to do so. Worse yet, they were allowed to take very personal pot shots at me during arbitration, and continue to do so, and nothing is done. --scuro (talk) 11:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
