Welcome and thanks

Welcome to wikipedia and thanks for your input on the Plame Affair. It seems that you have a good handle on the need for NPOV and proper sourcing of information. Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged when you run into difficult editors.--Mr j galt 02:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Seeking Help

I am preparing conduct RFC's against User:Commodore Sloat and User:Ryan Freisling. They have been harrassing me because I have resisted their attempts to push POV in several articles, including Plame Affair and Larry C. Johnson. They and their POV allies have just lauched an unjustified attack RFC on my conduct. I will eventually need someone to join me to certify both RFC's. Could you please review the situation. If you agree that their conduct is becoming a problem and you haven't already done so, could you weigh in on their talk pages or one of the article talk pages (a pre-requisite to certify a conduct RFC)? It would be appreciated. Thanks! --Mr j galt 00:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)-

Please look at Plame Affair Intro

On the Talk page, I have written a new Intro for Plame Affair and made several concessions to the anti-Bush crowd. Please take a look at Version 2.1 and see what you think. If you can make it better, please say so. If not, please express your vote in favor of making the change. RonCram 17:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I quite agree with your assessment of the echo chamber at work. I think you might find Paul_R._Pillar an interesting article and invite you to take a look at it. RonCram 21:19, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Please watch Nightline tonight, Feb. 15

Nightline is going to report on the "Saddam Tapes."

Reportedly armed with 12 hours of Saddam Hussein's audio recordings, the organizers of an upcoming "Intelligence Summit" are describing the tapes as the "smoking gun evidence" that the Iraqi dictator possessed weapons of mass destruction in the period leading up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has already authenticated the tapes. These are the same tapes mentioned in Duelfer's Report that had not been translated at the time of the report. For some reason, the tapes were released through a very unusual manner - possibly because some in the intelligence community did not want the truth to come out. Read news story here.

Larry C. Johnson article

Although I am carrying a heavy load at school, I have had a little time lately to restore NPOV on Misplaced Pages. Could you take a look at the Larry C. Johnson article? Johnson is a bit player in the Plame Affair.--Mr j galt 03:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Michael Scheuer article

Recent edits show that a certain editor does not want quotes from Scheuer's book included in the article. Please take a look to see what you think of the dispute. It seems a pure case of censorship to me. RonCram 13:23, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Evensong, please revisit the Michael Scheuer page. Scheuer changed his position on the relationship between Saddam Hussein and Osama after the invasion of Iraq. Now we have an editor who does not want readers to know what Scheuer wrote in his book in 2002. I'm not asking you to agree with me but I am asking you to come and mediate this. It is getting ridiculous.RonCram 00:13, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Mary O. McCarthy article

Thanks for the headsup. I was just coming to see if an article was in progress. I made a comment on the Talk page that I think deserves further discussion. Please take a look. RonCram 19:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda

Please take a look at a major rewrite I complete on this article. I tried to make it more NPOV. The non-official view that they did have a working relationship is gaining more ground with the release of the Operation Iraqi Freedom documents. Even former Democrat Senator and 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey has come to the conclusion they had a working relationship. RonCram 15:31, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Will do, friend.Evensong 16:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Have to ask...

...but are you an Isobel Campbell fan? If you aren't, your handle tipped off a memory of my favorite song from her band The Gentle Waves, and if you are, you win cool points. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Stop trolling my Talk Page

Consider this a warning. --Eleemosynary 05:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Your accusation is baseless and you are a suspected sockpuppet, so stay off of my page, thank-you very much. Evensong (talk) 05:09, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

CRU article name

Hello,

I am writing you this message because you have participated in the RfC regarding the name of the Climatic Research Unit hacking incident article. As the previous discussion didn't actually propose a name, it was unfocused and didn't result in any measurable consensus. I have opened a new discussion on the same page, between the existing name and the proposed name Climatic Research Unit documents controversy. I have asked that no alternate names are proposed at this time. Please make your opinion known here. Thanks, Oren0 (talk) 05:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
