Single purpose account. Misuse of article space for personal soapbox is unacceptable.--Amadscientist (talk) 02:28, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- While Misplaced Pages does not have strict rules and policy, we have guidelines. As part of the respect for those guidelines I offer an apology for Misplaced Pages:Please do not bite the newcomers. I assume the teeth marks will eventually wear off.--Amadscientist (talk) 05:15, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Please see Talk:99 Percent Declaration#Comment from Michael Pollok for details about this dispute. That section has been blanked four times from Talk:99 Percent Declaration by Amadscientist. Dualus (talk) 05:14, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Dualus (talk) 04:03, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Hold on
Michael, I know things might seem confusing now, but please don't give up on Wikipdia yet. Amadscientist has been trying to push an agenda, as you've noticed, and I will try to help the best I can. In the mean time I hope you can look at some of the links in the Welcome message above, and please don't give up on us!
By the way, what do you think about Tom Udall's constitutional amendment introduced in the Senate on Nov. 1st? Dualus (talk) 05:13, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- Agenda editing is not my way, but the number of complaints against User:Dualus may show his.--Amadscientist (talk) 05:19, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to you, your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Misplaced Pages article or website of your organization in other articles (see Misplaced Pages:Spam).
