Hi there!

Please don't add the "deceased" tag to all of the names on the Religious Left list. It's not necessary. If yo wish to clarify that the individual has kicked the bucket, you may include the dates of birth and death, e.g. (1904-1982), etc. David Cannon 02:13, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't planning to add them to everyone just the ones that are in heaven.

I was doing this 'cause that's what's been done on the religious right list. Blackeagles 03:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Eagles

You need to add a source. :-) --evrik  21:16, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

• You still need a reference. --evrik  21:20, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted your additions to List of Eagle Scouts (Boy Scouts of America) because they are unsourced. When you can provide a source for your edits, by all means add them back to the page. Thanks, -MBK₀₀₄ 02:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Christian left

You reinsterted the list after I removed it, stating that Jimmy Carters beliefs is not POV. Well, that is not the problem. The problem is that by adding them to a list in this article, we are stating an opinion that is Wikipedias. That is something we should not do. We must back this up with a reference, where an outside reliable source classifies the person as Christian Left, or where the person in question self references themselves as such. Without that, we are just adding your opinion to this article. For the persons who are currently alive there is also WP:BLP to contend with. Please read through WP:BLP##Remove_unsourced_or_poorly_sourced_contentious_material. I have again removed the list. Cheers, --mceder (u t c) 09:09, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

February 2008

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Superman. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Misplaced Pages:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Superman. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Gwernol 02:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

3RR violation

You have violated the 3RR (see WP:3RR). I am reporting the violation. --Tenebrae (talk) 15:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
