Welcome, C33! I noticed that you placed a vote on Talk:Xeni Jardin. Participation in the community is encouraged, of course, but your status as a brand new user means that your vote might not be counted. Please understand that this is a common practice on Misplaced Pages, and that it is necessary to prevent deliberate misuse of our voting systems. Straw polls on Misplaced Pages are meant to measure community consensus, and should not necessarily be taken as literal one-member one-vote voting. However, please do make further contributions to Misplaced Pages, and express your opinion on policy matters.--Christopherlin 18:04, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for the heads up. I see the potential for abuse that you describe in the polling mechanism, I'll refrain from participating in them utill I have some more 'editorial credibility' under my belt. --C33 18:17, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. It seems I accidentally wrote on your user page and not your user talk page, oops. Anyway, feel free to weigh in on discussion. Note the emphasis on "might not". Good luck! --Christopherlin 20:30, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
It adds everything to the article
You copied an older version of the text and it is not what you removed you removed the new and updated version which is not poorly written.
The myth is that he (Stalin) had a melt down as soon as the Germans attacked and this is just a myth. And if it is so poorly written then just rewrite it. The changes I made to it removed any prevoius errors it had in it. So stop removeing it and re-add it Beenhj 12:40, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
And the text you copied into my talk page IS NOT what I added this was what I added and what you deleted, and the fact that you copied an earlier version of the text indicates that you have not re-read the new version
Stalin had ignored numerous intelligence warnings of a German attack.. He also sought to avoid any obvious defensive preparation which might provoke a German attack, in the hope of buying time to modernize and strengthen his military forces. A myth is that Stalin appeared unwilling to accept the fact and, according to some historians, was too stunned to react appropriately for a number of days. And this myth is dispelled by people who have looked into the Soviet Archives after the fall of the Soviet Union. Both Richard Overy and Simon Sebag Montefiore have showed that he held at least 8 major meetings the same day as the invasion.

The fact that you copied the older version is proof that you have not read the new version Beenhj 12:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
