Steve Fossett

Hi, I appreciate your efforts to add info to the Steve Fossett article. However, they way you're doing it is completely messing up the formatting -- you seem to be pasting formatted text in as source, which doesn't work. (Compare the version you created with the current version.) If you read some of the help articles linkedd above, they should help. Cheers, and please don't be put off... — Johan the Ghost seance 23:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

I am working at the direction of Steve Fossett. It is my job.

So you're updating Fossett's article at his instruction? That's a pretty serious breach of Misplaced Pages protocol, I'm afraid; people aren't supposed to create articles about themselves. If you have a problem with the article, the best thing would be to mention it on the talk page and let someone else deal with it.

And you don't even know what his correct name is.

Yes I do. Now you're being silly.

Talk about VANDALISM.

No I didn't, I said (very reasonably) that you got the formatting wrong.

You are doing it.

Accusing people of vandalism without reason is not nice. You completely messed up the formatting of that article; I fixed it. Please learn how to edit Misplaced Pages correctly before going on. Cheers, — Johan the Ghost seance 23:51, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I have to say it's time you took a deep breath and thought before posting. For example:

I have been contributing to this article at the direction and correction of Steve himself.

As I said above, that itself is a problem. Steve should not direct alterations to his own article, as he can hardly be expected to be unbiased. If you want changes to the article, please request them on the article's talk page, stating that you work for Steve.

YOU are not providing the information (Including his name) in a way that he wants or is even correct.

If you could see what is going on, you would notice that I actually made (at least some) of the changes you were trying to make.

I AM NOT A VANDAL

When will you get it into your head that I never said you were? I said "I appreciate your efforts to add info to the Steve Fossett article". Look up, you'll see it there. However -- for the third time -- you screwed up the formatting of the article, and rather than leave it looking like trash, I fixed it.

and I provided the picture of him.

Thanks, that's very helpful.

SO STOP IT.

Nope. Oh, and please, when you add to a talk page, sign your post with four tildes. Cheers, — Johan the Ghost seance 00:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I'm not the only person reverting you here, so you may be talking (at least in part) to the wrong person. — Johan the Ghost seance 00:09, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
