Teaparty Protests

I generally agree with your line of reasoning on this article, but it won't do you any good if you're banned indefinitely. Exercise more caution and don't get into editing disputes. Other than that, keep fighting the good fight!  EJNOGARB  02:47, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

April 2009

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Talk:Tea Party protests. However, please be aware of Misplaced Pages's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Misplaced Pages page, must include proper sources. Thank you. JCDenton2052 (talk) 02:10, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Um... may I ask why--specifically--you feel the need to warn me about nothing in general? Was there a recent edit I made that you personally feel compelled to warn me about - or are you just in the mood to send spam-warnings my way? This is a joke, right? Funny.

Calling Nancy Pelosi a conspiracy theorist may be a violation of WP:BLP. JCDenton2052 (talk) 02:31, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

When did I add Pelosi being a conspiracy theorist to the article? This is not a new discussion on the Talk Page, which I know you know because you've responded to an earlier discussion about it by saying this:

As I've suggested to other editors, if you can achieve consensus on the articles for Nancy Pelosi, Rachel Maddow, and Paul Krugman that they are "fringe" or "conspiracy theorists", then you can make a case for removing their comments here. Additionally, Misplaced Pages is not supposed to be devoid of opinion. It is supposed to neutrally and fairly present mainstream opinions. JCDenton2052 (talk) 14:56, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

How is what I wrote any different than a previous users notion that Pelosi is a conspiracy theorist? And how is the mere discussion of it violating any rule or policy of Misplaced Pages? Tycoon24 (talk) 02:37, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I noticed the message you recently left to User talk:Bipartisan185. Please remember: do not bite the newcomers. If you see someone make a common mistake, try to politely point out what they did wrong and how to correct it. Thank you. TharsHammar and 18:29, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you're following me, thanks for stopping by! Don't be a stranger. Tycoon24 (talk) 18:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Its important to watch over a user in the hours and days after they come off a block. Need to make sure that they have learned their lessons and are no longer a harm to the project. TharsHammar and 18:35, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Awe. Thanks. However, I've noticed you following me since waaaaaay long ago. No worries, I enjoy the company. Tycoon24 (talk) 18:39, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I only ran into your work at the Tea Parties. TharsHammar and 18:44, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

It's funny, I think I'm addicted to Misplaced Pages now. I love it. I learn new things every day, how the community works, what's appropriate and what's not. What's more interesting is how perceptively 'polite' some of the arguments can be on political discussions. Those can be some of the more heated topics, but Wikiquette allows for more civil debates, requiring neutrality. Which I think is an excellent part of Misplaced Pages. However, I was taken back and alarmed when you mentioned on Talk:Tea Party protests this:

You are jumping to the assumption that the protestors have a coherent issue, message, or meaning. Most likely it is a collection of racist and republicans (and some racist republicans). Republicans who are upset that they lost the last election, and racists who are upset that now there is a black man in the white house. See how fun playing with words is? 04:38, 26 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TharsHammar (talk • contribs)

Aside from that comment, things have been more or less civil in discussions. Tycoon24 (talk) 18:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Nationwide Chicago Tea Party

I have nominated Nationwide Chicago Tea Party, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Nationwide Chicago Tea Party. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. TharsHammar and 16:55, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will post comments later on today on the issue. I've got class now! When I get back I'll be happy to clarify my reasons for creating the article and why I believe it should remain. Tycoon24 (talk) 17:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
