Re: Abraham Lincoln

Actually, most of what I entered the RFC for focussed on the Talk: page. Take a look at Talk:Abraham Lincoln/archive3 and you'll see what I was talking about. And by the way, the instructions for article RFCs say explicitly not to sign them, for some reason or another. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 12:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Guess who

I looked at the change you pointed out and it doesn't look like it was a Johnski sock. --Gene_poole 03:29, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh!

Yeah, I spend much more time here (especially on the Ido Misplaced Pages and Wiktionary) than on Dave's. One of the reasons why I like it here is that if something is missing in one language I can usually find it in another. You'll note though that a lot of the languages are related to each other - basic Swedish and Danish knowledge pretty much comes along with Norwegian, and I get a 2 rating in Esperanto even though I've never studied it because Ido is a reformed version of it and you can make out 80% of one from knowing the other. What's your username on Dave's? Mithridates 14:38, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Oregon election, 2005

Hi David,

Thanks for your update.

I think it's important to keep the wiki page an accurate record of what happened, so I will revert or modify some of your changes.

The page is dated 2006, and thus encompasses both May and November elections. In several years, I'd like it to be a resource for people to look back at, and see the progression of events. I am not sure I know the best way to do that, but I'll take a shot. I'm hoping you have more thoughts to contribute! Now is when it gets fun.

WP:WPOR - Politicians

Thanks for being a part of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Oregon - it's so awesome to have so many people on board (especially a fellow politics aficionado).

One thing I think you might be able to do is to help us transition our pictures from fair use images to pictures with free licenses, such as the GFDL or an appropriate Creative Commons license. I've noticed that most all of the pictures of Oregon politicians are fair use promotional photos, and this will ding us when we attempt to improve those articles to Featured Article status.

Can you work on obtaining good free pictures? You can either take these photos yourself or you can find pictures and ask the copyright holder if they'll agree to license them under the GFDL or a Creative Commons license. It's important to keep in mind Misplaced Pages doesn't accept non-commercial or educational use only pictures. You can see a full list of options at WP:ICT. the iBook of the Revolution 20:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Dominion of Melchizedek

Hello again. The article has just been unprotected. Let's see how long it takes Johnski to find out :-) --Centauri 22:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I think what you're doing is good - after all, they keep going on about people not quoting things properly, so the more detail we can include about the frauds they've conducted the better. --Gene_poole 12:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to try to help again with accuracy, but according to what you have provided as sources, this would be more accurate (and if you think I'm taking sides with Korem, notice that I added his conviction for racketeering in 1986:

Tzemach "Ben" David Netzer Korem (born Mark Logan Pedley on July 19, 1953 in Los Angeles, California) (also known as "Branch Vinedresser") is the son of David Evan Pedley. He serves as the Head of the House of Elders, Vice President of the Executive Branch, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of DOM. Pedley is one of the authors of the Melchizedek Bible.

In 1983, Korem was convicted of mail fraud and interstate fraud. He was sentenced to three years in federal prison for that conviction, and later to eight years for a racketeering conviction in 1986. Korem was released on parole from Walla Walla Federal Prison in 1990. Like his father, he maintained his innocence and appealed his cases to the United States Supreme Court. Upon his release, he started DoM’s website which later offered numerous services including passports, banking facilities, university degrees and membership in the DoM bar association. DoM also allows for incorporations and trust formations as tax havens.

He had his parole revoked by his parole officer in late 1991 due to a violation of his conditions. Korem was released from his parole in July 1994.

In 1976, Korem married Janith Marie Wardy. The couple had a son, David James. In 1994, Korem married Pearlasia, a Pilipino woman who shared a common interest of furthering the cause of DoM.
