http://www.itera.ru/isp/eng//1/1/

It also refers to ITERA Oil & Gas Company, ITERA International Group of Companies and Itera International Energy Corporation, but I am not sure how they are connected. -- Beardo 06:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Cyprus or Russia?
The article says the headquarters are in Moscow but that it is a "Cyprus holding company." Could this be a mistake? It it's headquartered in Moscow, that would seem to make it a Russian company. UncleFester 06:52, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I think it is distinguishing the legal registration of the company (Cyprus), and where it has its main offices. -- Beardo 10:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Seriously
Seriously, don't mess with these guys. They'll find you out, track you down and you'll find yourself wearing a concrete overcoat. --81.77.255.58 (talk) 16:55, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * That's right. You've got to be careful with these schmucks - they don't take prisoners. Whoever categorised this a 'Low importance Russia Article' may end up developing a taste for hospital food.--OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 20:56, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

U.S. scandal
There is a doubt. There is no link affirming the scandal, so... where's the proof??? - 31 August 2011

Itera was suspected to have business connections with the Sicilian Cosa Nostra.
Any objective proof links? The ones in Google are round-linked over this wiki article. Being non-proved, provokes speculating. Should be either strongly confirmed, or deleted.

Vitaly Yurchenko

Vitaly Sergeyevich Yurchenko (Виталий Сергеевич Юрченко; born May 2, 1936) is a former high-ranking KGB disinformation officer in the Soviet Union. After 25 years of service in the KGB, he defected to the United States during an assignment in Rome. After providing the names of two U.S. intelligence officers as KGB agents and claiming that Lee Harvey Oswald was never recruited by the KGB, Yurchenko slipped from the Americans and returned to the Soviets. It is clear that his initial defection was illegitimate, because Yurchenko was awarded the Order of the Red Star from the Soviet government for the successful "infiltration operation."

Background
Upon his defection to the United States, Yurchenko identified two American intelligence officers as KGB agents: Ronald Pelton and Edward Lee Howard. Pelton was later convicted, while Howard fled to the Soviet Union before he could be questioned.

Disappearance
In November 1985, before eating a meal at Au Pied de Cochon, a French restaurant in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., Yurchenko told his CIA guard, "I'm going for a walk. If I don't come back, it's not your fault." Yurchenko did not return.

The building, located at 1335 Wisconsin Avenue NW has a plaque commemorating the event that was once displayed in one of Au Pied de Cochon's booths.

Return to the Soviet Union
Several days later, the Soviet Embassy called a press conference, at which Yurchenko announced he had been kidnapped and drugged by the Americans. It is possible that his defection was staged to fool the CIA with wrong leads, to protect Aldrich Ames, an American who worked for the CIA and was then one of the Soviet Union's most important moles within the CIA. The KGB was reported to have secretly interrogated Yurchenko after his return, under the influence of a truth drug, to ensure he had not been recruited by the CIA as a double agent.

Theories
At a 1999 Texas A&M conference attended by several CIA intelligence professionals, as well as KGB General Oleg Danilovich Kalugin, the question of Yurchenko's defection came up. Kalugin stated that Yurchenko started as a real defector, then changed his mind and redefected. Kalugin gave several points:

 * The KGB typically did not use 'fake defectors' because the defection would be a propaganda problem for the Soviet government. ("People were not supposed to run from paradise")
 * Yurchenko was in love with a woman married to a Soviet official and thought that they could be together in the US. This did not work out as planned.
 * Yurchenko had a stomach ulcer that worried him greatly and thought it could be cured in the US. It was not.
 * Yurchenko's defection was leaked to the media after he had been promised it would not be.
 * Yurchenko "felt his freedom to move around was sort of limited by the CIA".
 * Yurchenko apparently thought the KGB might treat him well because of the cases of recent redefectors like Betov and Chebatriov.

Another panelist also believed he was a legitimate defector. James Olson of the George Bush School of Government and Public Service said "I think he was a very disturbed individual and he redefected out of psychological problems that he had." Paul Redmond said that Sandra Grimes and Jeanne Vertefeuille (of the Aldrich Ames case) also believed Yurchenko was genuine. However, Redmond thought it possible that Yurchenko might have been sent by the KGB as a "starburst".

Spider Stacy

Peter Richard "Spider" Stacy (born 14 December 1958) is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and actor. He is best known for playing tin whistle and sometimes singing for The Pogues.

Early life
Stacy left school at 16 after failing to attend regularly, and had a few jobs, including working at a carwash and as a used car salesman for nearly two years.

The Pogues
Stacy co-founded The Pogues, along with Shane MacGowan, Jem Finer, and James Fearnley, and appeared on all of their recordings. He is credited with suggesting the band's original name, Pogue Mahone (the actual Irish spelling being "póg mo thóin"), which is Irish for "kiss my arse." The band's original intent was for MacGowan and Stacy to share vocal duties, but Stacy decided to leave them to Shane after the first performance, opting to learn the tin whistle. Stacy still frequently contributed backing vocals and occasional lead vocals throughout his long tenure with the band. In addition, he is known for sometimes banging a pub tray against his head for percussive effect. After Shane MacGowan was fired from The Pogues in 1991, Joe Strummer filled in for him for a short period, after which Stacy assumed the role of lead vocalist. The Pogues recorded two albums with Stacy on lead vocals: Waiting for Herb and Pogue Mahone. Stacy resumed his original role in the band when they held reunion shows in 2001.

Other appearances
After the Pogues' break-up, Stacy briefly formed a new band, Wisemen—soon renamed The Vendettas—which included ex-Pogues Andrew Ranken and Darryl Hunt (as well as Kavus Torabi of The Monsoon Bassoon, Cardiacs and Gong). Stacy has also appeared in both live performances and on recordings with other musicians, including Astral Social Club, Filthy Thievin' Bastards, and longtime friend Steve Earle. In 2005, Stacy performed two songs, including "Joe Hill," with Patti Smith, at the Meltdown festival. In 2007, he appeared on The Dropkick Murphys' version of "Flannigan's Ball" with Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners. In 2015 Stacy teamed up with Cajun music band Lost Bayou Ramblers to perform Pogues songs under the name Poguetry in Motion, later shortened to Poguetry. In 2018, he was joined by original Pogues bassist Cait O'Riordan. In February and March 2020 Poguetry played an eight-date tour of the US.

Acting
Stacy has appeared in several movies and television productions, including the Alex Cox films Straight to Hell (1986) and Walker (1986), as well as Eat the Rich (1987). Most recently, he appeared as "Slim Jim" Lynch in two seasons of the HBO series Treme. The series, which is set in New Orleans, was co-created by The Wire creator David Simon. Several Pogues songs had been featured on The Wire, and Stacy was introduced to both Simon and The Wire/Treme writer and novelist George Pelecanos backstage after a Pogues performance in Washington, D.C. Stacy's friendship with Pelecanos later led to a 2009 performance featuring The Pogues at The Boogaloo, a London pub. Pelecanos read excerpts from his new novel, The Way Home, followed by The Pogues' first pub performance since 1983.

Personal life
In 2010, Stacy and his wife Louise purchased a home in New Orleans.

Sweet Adeline (song)

"(You're the Flower of My Heart,) Sweet Adeline" is a ballad best known as a barbershop standard. It was first published in 1903, with lyrics by Richard Husch Gerard to music by Harry Armstrong, from a tune he had written in 1896 at the age of 18. According to a 1928 newspaper story, the lyrics were inspired "by a girl who worked at the music counter of a New York department store." After failing to find a publisher with the initial title, "You're the Flower of My Heart, Sweet Rosalie", according to a story the two decided a new title was in order and were inspired by a poster advertising the farewell tour of opera singer Adelina Patti. It did not become a hit until it was performed in 1904 by the group The Haydn Quartet. The Haydn Quartet's version was #1 for 10 weeks in 1904, and the Peerless Quartet also hit #1 with their version in 1904, for three weeks, according to Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories.

Mike Buck (musician)

Mike Buck (born June 17, 1952) is an American, Austin, Texas-based drummer, and co-owner of Antone's Record Shop located in downtown Austin.

Career
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Buck began playing drums at the age of 12. By his mid teens, he was playing in various Fort Worth-area clubs with artists such Robert Ealey, Ray Sharpe, Johnny Carroll, and Bubbles Cash.

Buck moved to Austin in the mid-1970s and joined the blues rock group the Fabulous Thunderbirds, along with Keith Ferguson, Jimmie Vaughan, and Kim Wilson. He appeared on the Thunderbirds' first two albums, Girls Go Wild (1979) and What's the Word (1980).

In 1981, he left the Thunderbirds to form the LeRoi Brothers with guitarists Steve Doerr and Don Leady. In addition to continuing to play with the LeRoi Brothers, Buck has performed and recorded with numerous notable artists over the years, including Roky Erickson, Screamin' Jay Hawkins (Jalacy Hawkins), Roy Head, Lazy Lester (Leslie Johnson), Toni Price, Ted Roddy, and Doug Sahm.

In 1985, Buck appeared on the album Trash, Twang And Thunder, which featured various artists known collectively as Big Guitars From Texas. The album track, "Guitar Army" ‒ featuring Buck, Frankie Camaro, Keith Ferguson, Denny Freeman, Evan Johns, and Jesse Taylor ‒ garnered a 1986 Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

In 2001, Buck, Eve Monsees, Speedy Sparks, and Grady Pinkerton formed Eve & The Exiles. After the group's self-titled 2004 release and several lineup changes, the Exiles released their 2008 album entitled Blow Your Mind.

Phrase book

A phrase book or phrasebook is a collection of ready-made phrases, usually for a foreign language along with a translation, indexed and often in the form of questions and answers.

Structure
While mostly thematically structured into several chapters like interpersonal relationships, food, at the doctor, shopping etc., a phrase book often contains useful background information regarding the travel destination's culture, customs and conventions besides simple pronunciation guidelines and typically 1000–2000 words covering vocabulary. Also common are a concise grammar and an index intended for quick reference.

A phrase book generally features high clarity and a practical, sometimes color-coded structure to enable its user to communicate in a quick and easy, though very basic, manner. Especially with this in mind a phrase book sometimes also provides several possible answers to each question, to let a person respond in part by pointing at one of them. Additional audio material is often included to help pronunciation and comprehension. This kind of phrase books is often referred to as a talking phrase book or voice translator.

History
Hand-written phrase books were used in Medieval Europe by pilgrims to the Holy Land; major European languages, Greek, and Hebrew were covered. By the 15th century, phrase books designed for merchants involved in the international trade are attested as well. The earliest known example of this genre is a 1424 manuscript compiled by one Master George of Nuremberg, and intended to help Italian merchants to use High German.

Printed phrase books appeared by the late 15th century, exemplified by the Good Boke to Lerne to Speke French (c. 1493–1496).

In Asia, phrase books were compiled for travelers on the Silk Road already in the first millennium AD, such as a Dunhuang manuscript (Pelliot chinois 5538) containing a set of useful Saka ("Khotanese") and Sanskrit phrases.

Since the 21st century, Lonely Planet has covered more phrase books than any other publisher. They are designed for travelers to communicate with locals learning social phrases and words in more than 120 different languages.

Luise von Ploennies

Luise von Ploennies (7 November 1803 – 22 January 1872) was a German poet.

Life
She was born at Hanau, the daughter of the naturalist Johann Philipp Achilles Leisler. In 1824 she married the physician August von Ploennies in Darmstadt. After his death in 1847 she resided for some years in Belgium, then at Jugenheim on the Bergstrasse, and finally at Darmstadt, where she died. Between 1844 and 1870 she published several volumes of verse, being particularly happy in eclectic love songs, patriotic poems and descriptions of scenery. She also wrote two biblical dramas, Maria Magdalena (1870) and David (1873).

As a translator from the English, Luise von Ploennies published two collections of poems, Britannia (1843) and Englische Lyriker des 19ten Jahrhunderts (1863, 3rd ed., 1867).

Danio dangila

Danio dangila, the moustached danio, is a freshwater fish, and is the largest of the true Danio species at up to (6 in) long. Its name is from its particularly long barbels. It is sometimes kept in aquariums, where its relatively passive nature allows it to be housed in a community tank.

Details
Adults individuals can grow up to 15 cm (6 inches) and have a lifespan of 3 to 5 years.

Habitat
This fish inhabits the Ganga-Brahmaputra drainage system in Bihar, northern Bengal, northeast India and Nepal, as well as being recorded in Umroi Stream and rheophilic torrent in India. Its habitat is clear mountain streams, where specimens have been taken from the rocks and stones which compose the riverbed. the moustached danio prefers soft water with a relatively neutral pH.

Threats
Though this fish is small and so rarely eaten, there have been concerns on its harvesting for the pet trade. Captive breeding has been attempted, succeeding in ICAR; this method has apparently also been replicated by fish farmers. The IUCN has considered the harvesting to be a potential cause of decline, which may be supported by population surveys, but more surveys must be conducted in order to confirm the effects. If captive breeding cannot fuel the stock needed for the aquarium trade, then it may have to be reassessed, potentially moving it to a higher threat category.

Ecola State Park

Ecola State Park is a state park located approximately 3 mi north of Cannon Beach in Clatsop County in the U.S. state of Oregon on the Oregon Coast. It is administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

The park encompasses 9 mi of coastline between Cannon Beach and Seaside and includes Tillamook Head. In 1806, William Clark and other members of the Corps of Discovery traveled through the area in search of a beached whale and saw burial canoes of the Tillamook; the park is included as part of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, though separate entrance fees are charged. Archaeological sites within the park dating to as early as have revealed much about the Tillamook. Included within the park are 8 mi of the Oregon Coast Trail. Scenes from several movies have been filmed at Indian Beach and other park locations.

Archaeology
Multiple archaeological sites located within park boundaries were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

Bald Point Site
The Bald Point Site (Smithsonian trinomial: 35CLT23) features a shell midden and possible house pit, dating to ca.. Associated with the Tillamook people, it has the potential to yield information related to environmental change in the Oregon Coast region, settlement and subsistence patterns, emergence of ethnographic patterns among coastal people, baseline cultural patterns prior to the arrival of European Americans, and other topics. Parts of the site have been lost to coastal erosion since the first scientific investigations in 1976, but the remaining portions appear mostly secure.

Ecola Point Site
At the Ecola Point Site (Smithsonian trinomial: 35CLT21), several ground depressions have been interpreted by researchers as house pits, indicating the presence of a semipermanent village. Two dense shell middens have preserved extensive faunal remains, along with other artifacts. Radiocarbon dates taken at the site roughly span a period from ca. 1100 CE to ca. 1700 CE. The site has the potential to yield information related to environmental change in the Oregon Coast region, settlement and subsistence patterns, emergence of ethnographic patterns among coastal people, the change in cultural patterns from before to after contact with European Americans, and other topics.

Filming location
Much of the 1985 film The Goonies was filmed within the park, as was the school picnic scene in Kindergarten Cop. Indian Beach was the filming location for the time-jumping final act of Point Break, and several scenes of Twilight. The park also appeared in Free Willy including several scenes where it served as the exterior background of the Northwest Adventure Park's aquatic theater. In reality, the tank was filmed at the former Reino Aventura in Tlalpan, Mexico.

Diocese of Swansea and Brecon

The Diocese of Swansea and Brecon is a Diocese of the Church in Wales, established in 1923 with Brecon Priory as the cathedral. The area of the diocese had formerly been the Archdeaconry of Brecon within the Diocese of St Davids. The diocese has a border with each of the other five Welsh dioceses, as well as with the English Diocese of Hereford.

Edward Latham Bevan was made Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of St Davids as Bishop of Swansea in 1915, and in 1923 he was elected as the first Bishop of the new diocese.

The Bishop of Swansea and Brecon
After the 9th Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, John Davies retired on 2nd May 2021, the process of electing a new bishop began. After the electoral college held at St Mary's Church, Swansea was unable to elect a bishop with the requisite two-thirds majority, it fell to the Bench of Bishops to choose a new bishop. On the 4th November 2021 the Bench announced that they had chosen the Archdeacon of Wrexham, John Lomas to be the 10th Bishop of Swansea and Brecon. This election was confirmed at a Sacred Synod held at St Giles' Church, Wrexham on 22 November 2021.

Senior clergy in the diocese
The current Dean of Brecon is Paul Shackerley. The current Archdeacons of the diocese are:
 * Brecon — Alan Jevons
 * Gower — Jonathan Davies

Peter Brooks was collated Archdeacon with responsibility for Ministry Areas on 17 December 2022.

Archdeaconries and deaneries
The original deaneries were Brecon I, Brecon II, Crickhowell, Hay, Builth, Maelienydd, Swansea, Cwmtawe, Gower, Clyne, Penderi, Llwchwr and Knighton.

List of churches
The diocese is in the process of creating a collection of Ministry Areas.

Yes, thanks. I much prefer replacing over removing. Especially when there's just 3 items there. (Next time, please remember to leave the item with the image on top). - Mgm|(talk) 08:25, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

Edits to Template:Please leave this line alone
Well, something needs to be done to the page, because it renders over the text in IE for me now (which was why I was trying to fix it in the first place). So you can see what is happening, I have placed images of what I see here (warning: big images). I am using IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.050301-1526. CoyneT talk 28 June 2005 19:26 (UTC)

Additional note: Maybe it just has to do with width/maxwidth. I am told by something I read that maxwidth:60% doesn't work; what I had tried was reversing them, so that width was a percentage and that maxwidth was set in pixels. Just FYI; maybe it will help. CoyneT talk 28 June 2005 19:29 (UTC)

 * More: The problem I am seeing seems to be "skins" related. If I'm on "Classic" skin (to which I somehow wound up configured), the bottom block is rendered over the text, otherwise not.  It looks okay if I'm configured for Monobook. CoyneT talk 29 June 2005 21:27 (UTC)

Would you mind checking out Talk:FOX News and helping us in our conflict? I don't care what your FOX alignment is, or what your opinion is on the issues there, I'm just trying to bring more editor attention there (and I saw your username as one of those making archives in the talk page, so I figured you were on there).

John W. Garrett Infobox
If you insist on keeping the infobox, then please do something about the grotesque image distortion that the box causes...and also the problem of the horizontal rule that bisects it. What's the point of the infobox, anyway? It's not like a species taxobox that displays information that would be cumbersome to put into the text. The infobox information goes easily into a biography. I prefer a simple picture with a caption. The infobox makes the image look like a reflection in a fun house mirror. User:12.227.131.190 30 JUN 05

Okay, you (or somebody) fixed the horizonal rule problem. Now, what about the stretched image? User:12.227.131.190 1 JUL 05

Good work! I still don't see much point in having the infobox, but it no longer looks silly, at least not in this case. User:12.227.131.190 4 JUL 05

"Merge" template voting
I've set up two separate votes on the "merge" templates' discussion page. One pertains to the templates' wording, and the other pertains to the templates' visual design. Users may vote on neither, either or both of these issues.

Please note that I've posted this invitation on the talk pages of everyone who has expressed a preference for either wording and/or visual design. —Lifeisunfair 3 July 2005 19:49 (UTC)

Kindly do not use your sysop rollback in a content dispute. Also, editing a protected page to engage the dispute for which it was protected is quite contrary to the protection policy. — Dan | Talk 3 July 2005 22:57 (UTC) (from User talk:Radiant!)

 * According to that policy, violet/riga should not have protected the page:

 * "Admins should not protect pages which they have been involved with (involvement includes making substantive edits to the page or expressing opinions about the article on the talk page)."

 * And if the page should have been protected, it first should have been restored to the version for which twice as much support had been expressed.

 * I also don't know why violet/riga didn't protect the mergefrom and mergeto templates, which are involved in the same edit dispute. (I mentioned this fact on violet/riga's talk page.)  —Lifeisunfair 4 July 2005 00:34 (UTC)

 * Sorry, if it wasn't clear, I meant my comment for Radiant, and wasn't replying to you. As for reverting the page to the "consensus" version and then protecting it, that would be even more out of line. Violetriga was in fact only marginally involved, and hadn't taken part in the edit war. Anyway, this is no big deal, since the issue will presumably be resolved by the vote. — Dan | Talk 4 July 2005 01:00 (UTC)

 * It was clear that you were addressing Radiant. I was just adding my 2¢.  And yes, the voting should take care of this dispute.  :-)  —Lifeisunfair 4 July 2005 01:07 (UTC)

 * I have intentionally stayed away from that debate and the voting in it, thus I wouldn't consider myself an involved party in the dispute. The issue is a somewhat larger one - Netoholic has a tendency of ignoring consensus and unilaterally imposing his own view on templates. This was discussed in a lengthy talk I had with him and Kim Bruning about a week ago (at the end of which, Kim blocked him for revert warring). Unfortunately, Kim has since resigned from Neto's mentorship; but Netoholic has lately been doing precisely those things that got him into the RFAr injunction in the first place. Yours, Radiant_ >|< July 4, 2005 07:09 (UTC)

Re: stub
Hi - sorry if my reversion seemed a bit peremptory, but there wasn't really space in the edit summary to explain. Your edit was to stop a link to wikispace in a template - normally a good move. However, in the case of this particular template it is - as noted at the top of its talk page - maintained by WP:WSS in an attempt to bring some sort of order to Wikipedia. Since the aim of that project is to reduce the use of the simple generic stub template, it makes more sense to have the very short explanation as to better templates that can be used than not to. Much of the talk in the template's talk pages is also related to the wording, and there seems to be a fair degree of consensus as to having some sort of message saying "place a more precise stub message" - the link is the most obvious way. In fact, your last message on the talk pages, about a month ago, was answered by someone suggesting that the link would probably attract more editors - not a bad thing. Grutness...  wha?  5 July 2005 05:14 (UTC)

 * Begging your pardon, are you being serious about the last bit? Do you intend to continue listing this article on VFD every six months? That sounds an awful lot like intentional disruption to me. Incidentally, this causes a lot of work for me as an IRC op, since they always barrage #wikipedia with floods and nonsense. — Dan | Talk 8 July 2005 20:22 (UTC)
 * I've only listed that article on VfD once, and I would not have done so if I'd known its recent history at the time. However I don't think it's unreasonable to list borderline articles like this, as long as it's at reasonable intervals.  It's been over six months so I was fine with the nomination and, on procedural grounds, felt that what was evidently a good faith nomination should be honored.

 * On disruption, well I don't think different individuals not in a conspiracy VfDing an article infrequently would amount to disruption, although the trolls may attempt to disrupt the discussion. If you get problems on #wikipedia just put it into moderated mode. If you get server problems complain to the people who run the server until they boot the trolls. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 8 July 2005 20:45 (UTC)

McLaren link
Hi, the only reason I added "nowiki" to the "McLaren" link on Talk:Team McLaren was because I'm working on Disambiguation pages with links. As such I've reduced the links to "McLaren" to the point were only these remain: I wanted to remove Talk:Team McLaren just for the sake of completeness, but if you would prefer to leave it like it is I don't mind.

Renault Sport
I noticed that you created the redirect Renault Sport → Renault F1. As Renault Sport (offically Renault Sport Technologies) is separate from Renault F1 I've created an independent article on that page to reflect that.

From research I think its true to say that Renault's participation in F1 was as Renault Sport from 1975 (creation of Renault Sport) to 1997? Do you know if that's right? Then with the purchase of Benetton Renault F1 was run as a distinct division (that I'm pretty sure of). As such I think it would be correct to change those links that refer to the 2000-Present team to Renault F1 and leave those that refer to the period up to 1997 as Renault Sport. Any thoughts? Mark 23:11, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Like I say though, I'm not sure about the situation before Renault's return, so I think I'll be conservative with the redirects until that's confirmed. Mark 23:23, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi Dan,

Thanks to the comment above by Mark83, I've just noticed all the F1 pictures that you've added to your gallery.

So for these, and your Featured Pictures I award you this photographer's barnstar.. -- Solipsist 16:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Introduction 2
Did you mean to permanently protect this page?

Waldorf-Astoria
Begging your pardon, but why did you write "no, it's a double hyphen" while replacing my equal sign (a perfectly good approximation) with a single hyphen (which is entirely incorrect)? I'm a bit confused. — Dan | Talk 00:05, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

 * While double hyphen and equality sign look similar, they have a very different semantics. The first is a variant of the single hyphen, and is a punctuation mark, the second is a mathematical symbol, and indicates equality. So, it's not correct to replace one with the other. Similarly, it would be incorrect to replace a with Cyrillic а (azъ), or o with Greek ο (omicron), even if they look the same. -- Naive cynic 00:26, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

 * But why did you replace it with a single hyphen and not a double one? What's the HTML entity for a double hyphen? — Dan | Talk 01:36, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It's &#11799;, I'll add it to the article. -- Naive cynic 17:07, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Merge of Sexual characteristics
Hi. You have commented on the talk page for Sexual characteristics that you feel the article should be merged with sex. I respectfully ask that you re-consider. Ignoring how often the term is used in connection to primary and secondary characteristics, it is widely used on its own. Also, keep in mind that User:AlexR has been using the sex-related articles to push a POV that involves the concept of heteronormativity, and the merge with sex that he suggested appears to be a bid to justify any mention of sexual characteristics pointing a user to that article. His primary concerns to date with my edits to Sexaual characteristics (which I expanded from a stub he created) have been the non-human-centric view and the removal of the heteronormativity link. Sadly, I'm a proponent of the theory of heteronormativity, but I'm trying to be NPOV here.

Would you please, re-read what I wrote (the edit that was reverted, and which lives at User:Harmil/Sexual characteristics), and see if you think that that version deserves to be summarily redirected to a footnote in a general article about which hundreds, if not thousands of books have been written.

consecutive parantheticals
At this link, you say:

 * two consecutive parantheticals is quite awkward, and this one is easily avoidable

AFAIK, a nickname ought to be placed in parantheticals, i.e. Jimbo is placed after Jimmy Donal Wales this way Jimmy Donal Wales (also known as Jimbo). It makes it easy-to-understand.

Please reply in your User_Talk page.

Sincerely,

Colin

 * Well, there's certainly no standard, since many articles place nicknames in quotation marks and some place them in commas (i.e. "Joseph Q. MacDuff, commonly known as Jo-Jo, ..."). In general, paranthetical statements are to be avoided in writing, and two in a row is particularly bad form, so I see no particular reason not to place the nickname in quotation marks. — Dan | Talk 14:33, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

TOC
Hi Rd, just as a matter of interest (because it's not a huge deal to me), did you unprotect Daniel Pipes and then remove the TOCright? If you did, is there a reason for not wanting it to be like that? I've noticed you've removed a couple today, but I'm not familiar with whether they're regarded as a bad thing. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 23:13, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your reply, Dan. I suppose I wonder why it matters that the standard appearance is changed. Here's where I like to use TOC right (though not always; it depends on the length of the intro and second section): sometimes it's impossible to find a useable image for the right-hand top of the page where the subject is looking at the camera or toward the text. It's a fairly standard rule in publishing that faces should look toward the text or straight ahead, but never away from the text, because it's known that readers' eyes are drawn in the direction faces are pointing. If you can only find a pic with the face looking to the right (as you look at it, or to the left from the subject's point of view), then that image has to go on the left or it looks odd. With the image on the left, the top left side of the page becomes too heavy looking with the TOC on the left too. On those occasions, TOCright is very useful; as on Ludwig Wittgenstein, for example, which is an example of a photograph that looked really strange on the right side as it meant he was looking right off the page. I don't know whether these are exceptions you'd be prepared to give some consideration to. SlimVirgin (talk)  23:30, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Bayer Corporation

Bayer Corporation (also known as Bayer USA) is the American subsidiary of Bayer AG. Its main offices are located in Whippany, New Jersey. In addition it has 40 fully consolidated subsidiary companies located in 19 different states.

History
Bayer AG began marketing in the United States soon after the company's inception in Germany. In the late 1800s, they began to sell their trademark medication, aspirin. While the name "aspirin" became synonymous with Bayer for over a quarter of a century, the company's patents and trademarks were seized by the United States Office of Alien Property Custodian in 1917, due to Germany's enemy status in World War I. These assets were later auctioned and sold to Sterling Drug.

Mobay
In 1954, Bayer AG and Monsanto reached an agreement for establishment of a joint venture that was to be called Mobay. Initially established in St. Louis, Mobay established its headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1958, moving to a location in Robinson Township in 1960. A polyurethanes manufacturing site in New Martinsville, West Virginia began operation in 1955.

In 1964 the United States Department of Justice brought antitrust action against Mobay, resulting in Bayer AG reaching an agreement to purchase Monsanto's share of the company in 1967. In October 1971 Mobay, along with five other Bayer-owned chemical-related subsidiaries in the United States, merged into a single company called Baychem Chemical Company and headquartered in New York City. By 1974 the company relocated to Pittsburgh under the name Mobay Chemical Company. In that same decade two additional United States companies were acquired and merged into Mobay: Cutter Laboratories in 1974 and Miles Laboratories in 1978.

In 1992 Bayer consolidated its United States operations under the name Miles, and the Mobay name was discontinued.

In 1994, Bayer reacquired full rights to all former Bayer products after they purchased the Winthrop division of over-the-counter drugs from GlaxoSmithKline, and the Miles name was discontinued.

In 2012, Bayer relocated the top United States administrative head to the Bayer HealthCare site in Whippany. In 2019, Bayer announced the end of it operations at its Pittsburgh site. Later that year Bayer agreed to sell its Pittsburgh facilities to Covestro.

On September 18, 2014, the Board of Directors of Bayer AG announced plans to float the Bayer MaterialScience business on the stock market as a separate entity. This transaction was completed in the fall of 2015 with the establishment of Covestro AG.

Products
Noted over-the-counter Bayer products include Aleve, Bayer Aspirin, Alka-Seltzer, Phillip's Laxatives, Bactine, One-A-Day Vitamins, Flintstone Vitamins, and Midol. The company also markets prescription medications, animal medications, and diagnostic and medical testing equipment. Aside from the medical arm of the company, Bayer also creates many different chemicals and agricultural products.

Lawsuit and Settlement
In 2018, Bayer purchased the American agricultural product producer Monsanto Co. With the purchase, Bayer also took on litigation against its weedkiller product, Roundup, which was subject to thousands of lawsuits, representing nearly 100,000 people, claiming the product caused their cancer. While Bayer denied wrongdoing, it did reach a 2020 settlement of $10 billion to eliminate uncertainty and resolve outstanding claims.

About my RfA
Hi Dan, just a quick note to tell you that, though you opposed my adminship nomination, I appreciate the fact that you made public your concerns about me. I have been made an admin nonetheless, and I will of course act my best to prove your fears wrong. Best regards, Sam Hocevar 07:46, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

about my upload files
Hi, I have uploaded several pictures, they are all my own works, please feel free to use them. according to some word from you about the copy right files, I do not know how to creat them, but just use this message to tell you that, is that ok?~

I removed that image because a user
See Talk:Hurricane_Katrina

I have stopped removing them. Only wanted to provide a few examples. Would you please comment though, under this new interpretation literally hundreds would have to be removed. I believe even the tag contradicts his position. 71.32.199.15 18:13, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Ian Fleming image
Hi, I noticed you uploaded Image:Ian Fleming.jpg in 2004 and I'm wondering if you can perhaps give me an idea of where you might have gotten it so that I can add rationale for it. I added the image to Thunderball (a long time ago) because a good portion of the article discusses a lawsuit involving Fleming; however, because Thunderball is on FAC, some editors are requesting that we require rationale for all images used. I believe this image is fair-to-use, but am not sure of the source and therefore not entirely sure how to claim why it is fairuse. It may be public domain, I honestly don't know. This whole "rationale" business is all new to me so I really don't know what to write for this instance. Any help you may be able to give to me would be much appreciated though.

Hello, Rdsmith4. Just saw the edit summary to your latest edit on ITN.... I usually try to avoid passive voice, too, but I thought we should also avoid Bush.

Vandalism???
Hello.

In response to your message:

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. — Dan | Talk 03:48, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

I wanted to inform you that I have not, in fact, vandalized any pages. I have not even changed a single letter of any single page. What I have done is clicked on a couple of the links that said "edit" out of curiosity. Once I saw that all the article text was actually editable, I used my back arrow to avoid making any changes. I was merely investigating how the site works, in case I do feel the need to make alterations to an article in the future. I can understand your desire to protect valuable site content from vandalism and I can assure you that I appreciate the veracity of the articles.

Just wanted to set the record straight,

Revert on [Ray Nagin]
You probably didn't mean to do it but you reverted the Ray Nagin article to the version that claims that Blanco sent out a press release asking for a state of emergency to be declared instead of contacting the Whitehouse to ask them to declare the emergency. This is not merely POV it is total lunacy. The individual who has been peddling this and other theories has reverted the article 9 NINE times in the past 24 hours. All work on the article has essentially stopped because 5 editors are reverting the edits by this one individual. --Gorgonzilla 18:49, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Your early pulling of RfA
I saw your early pulling of my RfA, and I do not pretend that I would have an easy time dealing with this situation if I were in your position.

Normally, I follow concensus, and please note that I am a user in good standing, maybe not as "experienced" as some, but in good standing: Look at my block logs:

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User:GordonWattsDotCom (old)
 * and
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User:GordonWatts (new)

However, concensus must give way to policy: Either the "concensus" must be opposed on policy grounds, or the "policy" must be changed (if it is really wrong).

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=23267488&oldid=23267441#RfA_Policy:_Approx_3-17-3_concensus_says_your_policy_is_stupid.3F

Since the policy, as applied, allows any user in good standing to be admin, I have notified Jimbo of the lack of compliance with policy: Mob Rule is fun -but it rarely ever works.

The "ill will" factor, while not significant in my honest opinion, has not diminished by the pulling of my nomination; I would ask that you repost my nomination and let it run its course --giving me about 2-3 extra days to make up for what you've done in the early pulling, but, if you want to wait and talk to Jimbo first, that is alright.

PS: Please read the RfA page from beginning to end before you suppose to do anything: You will find that the situation is not what you think, and I suggest your reading it so that when Jimbo asks you about it, there won't be any surprises.

Best.--GordonWatts 07:52, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/GordonWatts
Regarding the above, I saw that you withdrew the nomination because it had no chance of succeeding. However, Gordon and others continued posting to the page, which was becoming somewhat toxic as a result. He also lodged an appeal with Jimbo and tried to have the story of his RfA written up for Signpost. I've therefore put a note at the top of the page saying the vote has closed, and I added his name to the failed nomination page. I also asked him to stop posting to the voting page, but he continued, so I protected it. If I've done the wrong thing there, I'm sorry, and obviously feel free to undo it. I've left a note on his talk page telling him what I've done. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 09:18, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Devil's Reject
Hello, a visitor to the help desk left this message. They have found an error in. However, I can't fix the problem because the page is protected. I left a message on the article discussion page, but apparently no administrator has seen that notice. Since you protected the page, would you mind responding to the problem? Thanks, Johntex\talk 00:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I accept your offer to reopen my RfA - see comments
From my page: "As for reopening your nomination - if you don't mind the "ill will", I'll replace it on the RFA page and adjust the closing time; the premature removal policy is really intended to protect the nominee from undue stress, and if you don't care, then it doesn't apply. — Dan | Talk 15:00, 15 September 2005 (UTC)"

I accept your offer here (Revision as of 15:09, 15 September 2005) to reopen my RfA.

At the RfA main page and the subpage for my RfA here, I've reopened the nomination and adjusted the time as it seems appropriate.

Since this is a contentious RfA, let me clarify some things for critics of your offer and my decision to accept it:

1) If any ill will is felt by those voting, then they don't need to be at Wikipedia: The voting is voluntary: Anyone that doesn't feel welcome should simply go to another page: Unless someone has something to hide, the RfA should proceed to completion, which looks to be about the 23rd of this month: After all, if 25-30 users may be offended by something they voluntarily log on to and review, this is not relevant to the tens of thousands of Wikipedians who might be affected if there is any merits to my concerns raised in this RfA.

2) The concerns about Wikipedia's image are not founded -unless there really is a widespread problem of people not following policy. (In that case, it could be ''very' embarrassing, but rather "cathartic."

3) However, if there is merit to my claims of failure to follow policy, then my RfA is needed to bring this to other's attention. This is best done by letting it go to completion.

People have acted very immaturely over this, and they just need to butt out, and let the process work its way to completion; this, after all, is just wiki -however, this immature attitude is something that can offend and alienate a great many other users, who are promised that policy will be upheld, but, instead, find little "cliques" of the "inside crowd," and many current admins have argued vigorously just as much as I have, but they criticize me for this, because there is a "Double standard," and this mistreatment of the lower caste must stop.

Accordingly, now I have two goals, not just one with my request for adminship: 1) Promotion if I get enough valid votes; and, 2) Enforcement of policy (or change of it) --or discipline if actors would refuse to comply with our current policies in RfA or whatever: For, these type of actions are why a good many users are quitting Wikipedia, and leaving with hard feelings.

We can do better.

We should do better.

We will do better.

2005 USA Grand Prix
Here is the answer to the 2005-USA GP. The formula1.com is incorrect as listing as ret instead of DNS. This were the responses from the following people. Renowned F1 statistians, like David Hayhoe or Autosport's Peter Higham agree that all Michelin drivers were DNS in 2005-USA, but consider a RET if a driver didn't made a re-start, for example. That was the common view in the past - no contemporary source listed Lauda as a DNS in 1976-Germany - and they simply ignore the current "null and void" FIA rule. I totally agree to change it as DNS not Ret as they didn't take part on the first lap. Andreasu 16:53, 01 October 2005

 * Button will start his 100th race start in the 2005-China race. But according to wikipedia when doing the math by adding all Button race starts it would be his 101st race start in China as Button has been listed as Ret instead of DNS for this year 2005-USA race. Does this make sense to you. That means wikipedia will have for all the drivers who have no started in the 2005 USA have an extra race start which wouldn't be official to the drivers stats. Andreasu 04 October 2005 09:10

 * Believe me I have correct formula1.com race results in the past. And I have proven that before on wikipedia they made mistakes on formula1.com. I also have the emails saved on my computer. Andreasu 04 October 2005 11:57

Your recent edit of Template:Stub
I'm curious. Did you remove the deprecation text from Template:Stub after seing my Talk page comment, Undeprecate the generic stub template? Also, why does clicking on your Discussion tab redirect from your Talk page (here) to User talk:Rdsmith4/me? Finell 01:50, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the quick reply. Before I wrote my prior message, I clicked on the Discussion tab on your main User page and was redirected to User talk:Rdsmith4/me. There was 1 entry there posted by User:SeanMack, but it was otherwise blank. I don't understand why the page User talk:Rdsmith4/me would even exist. Its History begins with User:SeanMack's message of 8/11/2005. Finell 03:13, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, my guess is that SeanMack created User talk:Rdsmith4/me, probably by accident, when he posted his 8/11/2005 comment (praising you). How that might cause a redirect from your Talk page, if that is indeed what happened, is beyond my technical competence. Unless you created User talk:Rdsmith4/me for a purpose, that page should probably be deleted. Finell 19:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Chicago area meetup
I've finally decided on a place for the first Wikipedia meetup in Chicago: 2 p.m. at Saturday, October 15th at Cafe Iberico, a tapas bar in the River North neighborhood of Chicago at 739 N. La Salle Drive. They have parking available and are 0.3 mile from the Chicago stop of the CTA Red Line. See their website for parking information; for transit planning use the RTA trip planner with a destination address of "739 N. La Salle Dr." Cafe Iberico has vegetarian selections for those who are so inclined (sorry, they're not very vegan-friendly, I'm afraid). The food is excellent and the environment very suitable for an informal gathering. Do check their webpage for any additional questions, or ask me. They typically cost typically costs between $10 and $15 per person; I'm willing to cover for anyone for whom this is too much (as long as we don't get too many people).

Please let me know before Saturday, October 8th (by email or on my talk page) if you're planning on coming so I can make the appropriate reservations. See you there! Oh, and please share this invitation with anyone you know of in the Chicago area who I've missed. Kelly Martin 19:53, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Rich Cabins
Thannk you for your message. My reason for deletion was indeed based mostly on notability (which, though not specifically a deletion criterion, is sometimes covered, more on that later), after a kind. From what I can tell, Rich Cabins Camp is just that: a campsite. Surely it is an interesting campsite to those who visit it, but it is a campsite. This, to me, is as reasonable an article as on my house, where nothing notable in the sense of events the world at large would be interested in has occured. It is verifiable. It exists. I can provide sources, census information, and photographs proving its location. But Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Likewise, a campsite unwarranted by anything other that having people stay there does not warrant an encyclopedia article, in my humble opinion. I could be wrong.

Notability is sometimes covered somewhere in WP:NOT, as in this case. It is also sometimes covered by WP:V. I personally believe that notability is a quality of encyclopedic content, and I am also a deletionist, for much the same reasons that Geogre is. It's just a different way of looking at things. I can understand why some people are inclusionists, I just kindly beg to differ.

I hereby recant my assertion that those camps are unverifiable. From what I gleaned out of the article, and from some quick searches, I concluded that the chances of someone verifying it were unlikely, and used that as shorthand. I'm sorry for any confusion. I wouldn't be opposed to any information that's worth keeping being merged into Philmont Scout Ranch, if that's the concensus. Me, I still don't see how it warrants an article. Maybe I'm just too stubborn :)? By all means, go ahead and create a list of them if you so choose.

I hope that clears things up. If you've still got questions, I'm happy to answer them. Yours, --Blackcap | talk 21:14, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Pamper party

A pamper party, or pampering party, is a female-oriented party in which the guests receives beauty and massage treatments and generally spend time to indulge and pamper themselves.

Pamper parties are usually held in the hostess's home, but they are sometimes offered by spas and salons. In the UK, a pamper party is a popular component of a hen party or hen weekend, which would be termed a bachelorette party in the US.

Pamper parties are usually considered to be a healthy indulgence; in addition to pampering treatments, the hostess usually provides healthy snacks, fruit juices and smoothies.

Children's pamper parties
Pamper parties may also be organized as a variation to a girl's birthday party for slightly older children in which the theme of the event seeks to mimic an adult pamper party in a safe environment, such as a parent's home. They combine elements of children's parties, such as party-bags, with elements of adult pamper parties, such as cosmetics and well-being, in a child-friendly manner with "pamper baskets" typically being given to younger guests. It is common for the events to be combined with a sleepover, slumber party or pajama party. Similarly, it is a form is "rite of passage" from childhood to adulthood.

Then you should be happy to know you have convinced me to report Gorgonzilla's crime to the image's owner. He is an embarrassment to all Wikipedia, wikipedians and producers of intellectual property everywhere. Why are you trying to cover for his criminality? --John Henry 05:05, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

BTW - I have added a report of your covering for Gorgonzilla's criminality to the images owner. I can't imagine Wikipedia will approve of that, can you? --John Henry 05:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Phrased like this, it amounts to a legal threat, which is not acceptable in Wikipedia. Please refrain from legal threats against Wikipedia or Wikipedians.  Since there are no images in this article at present, and since the image itself is not in the page history, I don't understand what the rationale is.  Can you explain how your actions are in the best interests of Wikipedia?  Guettarda 05:12, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Again you are wrong. I made no legal threat. I have no power to act on Gorgonzilla's crimes. I reported a crime and coverup, as is my civic duty, to the images owners. They are the only ones who can take action. If any threats are to be made they will be made by the images' owners. I believe the statute of limitations is 5 years. If you don't hear from them by then you should be home free. --John Henry 05:28, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

It is somewhat odd that someone who has claimed to be a lawyer would make such an incautious series of defamatory statements. If there was any copyright violation it would be a civil tort, not a criminal offense. False allegations of criminal behavior are defamatory. In this particular case the article was created from material which had separately been edited on the Reed, Norquist and Abramoff pages. The images were copied across with the rest of the content before any copyright notice appeared on their pages.

The initial copyright violation notice was posted less than 2 minutes after the content was moved from the Reed page. The content has since been entirely rewritten.

A 'speedy delete' is advice, not a right. An administrator can dispose of a speedy delete request with a speedy keep. This is exactly what has happened here. Two administrators have told you that the tag use is inappropriate. A CFP has been filed against you. Requests for comment/John Henry

It is somewhat odd that you would lie like that. I never claimed to be a lawyer and I challenge you to prove me wrong. A lie about someone in print exposes people to a "civil tort." Especially a malicious lie like even suggesting they might be a lawyer. See that it does not happen again. --John Henry 19:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi. I'm staying neutral in this discussion, but I am an attorney, and I'd like to point out that under our common law, the only false statements that are deemed per se malicious are:
 * claims that an individual has engaged in criminal conduct
 * claims that an individual is incompetent or untrustworthy in the conduct of their trade, business, or profession
 * claims that an individual is carrying a loathsome disease
 * claims of unchastity in a woman
 * Claiming that someone is a lawyer is still not considered malicious, as being admitted to the practice of law is a privilege and an honor (and I'm quite sure that Jack Abramoff would agree with me on that point, as would many other solid conservatives such as John Ashcroft, Antonin Scalia, Orrin Hatch, and Anne Coulter, all proud lawyers). For false statements that are not per se malicious, the burden is on the plaintiff in a civil case that they suffered actual damage, i.e. they must present evidence that the statement caused them to lose business or inflicted some similar pecuniary damage. Cheers! BD2412  talk 21:49, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Claiming someone is a lawyer is clearly malicious as it diminishes their character. There are way way too many lawyers who are cheats, ambulance chasers, liars, and general malcontents among the "profession" for it to be considered otherwise. Why else would there be so many lawyer jokes? Even Shakespere advised (paraphrasing) 'the first thing we should do is kill all the lawyers.' I'm apolitical moderate so your nonsense about how many right wing lawyers there are means little to me. A pox on all your houses. --John Henry 21:56, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you have that opinion of the legal profession, as I know of very few lawyers who really fit a negative description. In any event, I'm not expressing my opinion of what consitutes a malicious claim, merely pointing out the law as applied by the 44 states that recognize defamation per se. You can see the list here. BD2412  talk 22:09, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Webster Hubble, Spiro Agnew, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Nelson Rockefeller, David Rockefeller, Jim Wright, Daniel Rostenkowski, nearly the entire cast of the House Banking Scandal, nearly the entire cast of the House Post Office scandal, need I continue with examples? I indict the rest of your "profession" even if they were not involved as so many among them defended each and every one of these clowns and still defend many of them to this day. When you choose to pal with liars or extremists it reflects upon you, not them. You choose your friends. Lawyers have never chosen wisely. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas. --John Henry 00:51, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I remind you again that the object of your editing attention, Jack Abramoff, is a member of that illustrious club of "liars or extremists". But then, so were John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. On the other hand, some of our worst presidents, including Ulysses S. Grant and Herbert Hoover, had no legal training. The number of scandalous figures with no law degree is beyond count. But ultimately, a legal education is a tool, a connection to a collection of information that enables individuals to pursue desires that would otherwise be outside of their ability to achieve. Some are empowered to greatly improve the lives of millions; others surrender to their basest greed for money, power, or glory. Those that falter (or succeed) are not representative of lawyers, but of humans since time immemorial in a position of power relative to their peers. BD2412  talk 01:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps I need to remind you that I have not written anything laudatory about Abramhoff. I have instead tried to put some sanity and honesty in an article filled with lunatic LW conspiracy theories, LW blog material, unsupported innuendo and guilt by association claims. No judge would allow such nonsense to stand in court there is clearly no reason to let it stand on Wikipedia. The Abramoff article is among the worst articles on Wikipedia for that reason. --John Henry 06:02, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

See User:172.197.10.43 on Ronnie Earle, the prose style closely matches the style of earlier LJS posts and is clearly continuing the same argument. --Gorgonzilla 04:38, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Don't be foolish. Think of how many misguided posters agree with your LW extremism.  How many do you converse with at MoveOn.Org, anyway?  I'm sure there are a few posters here and there that agree with me also.  --John Henry 04:46, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Ronnie Earle
Please do not mark you (RW) historical revisionism as restoration of "text deleted by a LW extremist". These kinds of comments are incendiary and do not lend well to your credibility.

So far, this first line has been changed back and forth by a series of wikipedians. All this results in is strife and misunderstandings, and eventually a ban. We need your help. Don't do this.

The big picture is that that part of the article did not read well.

I have made a few changes that should put an end to this POV RW/LW war. The point is that Earle indicted Murray in 1996 and then she was mishandled. The charges of racism happened much later. The introductory statement was needed to tie the case to the overall story of who Ronnie Earle is.

Let me know if this helps. kgrr talk 13:15, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
