Please sign and date your comments on talk pages. You can do this just by typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, it will be automatically turned into your user name and a timestamp. I've added a pseudo-sig to the entries you've already made, but it's tedious and laborious to do. -- ] | ] 15:57, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

I apologize, in the future I will sign my account name and give the date as well.

Instead of crossing out the "I suggust you may want to look at this user's contributions" comment why not delete the comment altogether."

I had not read my messages so I did not know that he had asked me not to delete it, I am deeply sorry for having done this. It won't happen again. I am kind of new to Misplaced Pages.

== Delete ==
Hi FDR, I'm trying to make sense of your request. Even if all participants agree to delete the section in question, it may be easily found/recovered through history function. I'm not an admin, maybe they possess some magic powers to do more. I suggest, let's just leave it alone and move on. It will be archived and quickly forgotten. Newcomers tend to make mistakes, let's assume good faith on all sides and cooperatively contribute to make WP better. There are so many good things to do. Cheers. ]&larr;]] 22:35, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

I apologize for using a stupid means to make a point in the Texe Marrs article. I will change it back to in between and truly NPOV. The Texe Marrs article is the only article I did that with.

:Thanks, I appreciate your civility. Cheers, ] <sup>]</sup> 22:33, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I would like to point out that there are other articles I changed in a slightly similiar fashion to. But in those I only changed my own contributions or removed them and it was because I actually thought my contributions were either not NPOV or poorly written. But in the Texe Marrs article I was actually doing it to make a stupid and inapropriate point against the NPOV policy but in the other articles I actually changed my contributions because they actually had problems not to make a stupid point. So that is not what I was doing with the other articles.

== ] disambiguation page ==

I really am trying to help here, but you seem absolutely determined to apply your own style, rather than that dictated by the ]. I'll run through each in turn (text in bold is a direct quotation from that page):

*'''"Keep in mind that the primary purpose of the disambiguation page is to help people find the information they want quickly and easily. These pages aren't for exploration, but only to help the user navigate to a specific article."'''
::''"A thief, interloper, or intruder."'' &mdash; The word "cowan" does not appear in the ] page. Also, you don't need to write <nowiki>]</nowiki> as you have done.
::''"A person apprenticed to bricklaying but not licenced to the trade of masonry."'' &mdash; Again, the world "cowan" does not appear on the ] page.

*'''"Try to link to the disambiguated page with the first word in the line, so:'''
**'''], in music theory, a major chord built on the lowered second scale degree'''
**'''not: In music theory, a ] is a major chord built on the lowered second scale degree"'''
::That's why I've been writing ''"In ], a person who is not a freemason."'' Not because I like that version better, but because it puts the wikilink as close to the start of the bullet point as possible, and it avoids piping.

== Additions to ] ==

Hi FDR... just so you know, I have removed the explanations of Cowan and "so mote it be" that you added to the ] article. I have no problem with explaining these terms, I just think you put them in the wrong place. The opening paragraphs are really designed to give an overview of what Freemasonry is, and explaining specific terms and usages does not fit in that overview. I'm not sure what section such explanations should go in, but the opening is not it. Feel free to add them back if you can figure out a better location in the article. ] 14:14, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

==Please cite sources==

:A step-by-step guide is available at ], as well as detailed explanations of the criteria for deletions. I mention this because I'd oppose deletion myself - she's not the only woman whose ''affaire celebré'' has defined her notability (see ], ], ], etc etc). And poor quality writing or a lack of sources are not criteria for deletion by themselves, although I'd agree that the page needs improving. ''--] 11:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)''
*I am going to remove the entry of ] from the ] page, because it is a red link.

I changed my password. I still don't know who vandalized my account. The fake contribution from the person who vandalized my account was in the ] article. It said "when he died in 1902 Rhodes was considered one of the sexiest men in the world." That article is one I have contributed a great deal to, but I was NOT the person who wrote that and I deleted that inapropriate contribution. But I still have not figured out who vandalized my account. ] ] 32:46 October 21, 2006 (UTC)
