Anti-Defamation League edit

just a heads up to say that i deep-sixed your citation on Anti-Defamation League and the change to 'spy scandal' that it sourced. basically, both the site and the article looked to be little more than propaganda pieces with some pretty heavy-handed pov of their own. i did, in fact, go looking for a substitute citation and have found the selection to be slim pickings indeed -- it's pretty much all white supremist material -- so i left the section un-cited and with the original wording. since adl is such a controversial topic, citations that have a whiff of bias tend to colour the piece as i'm sure you know. -- frymaster 04:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)Reply


February 2007 edit

  Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

Sources on Ayaan Hirsi Ali edit

I'm afraid your sources weren't acceptable per Wikipedia guidelines - please read WP:RS#Self-published sources. RJASE1 Talk 05:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)Reply


Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! RJASE1 Talk 05:15, 25 February 2007 (UTC)Reply


  Please stop. Continuing to add unsourced or original content, as you did to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, is considered vandalism and may result in a block. RJASE1 Talk 05:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

You should also be aware that continual reverts could lead to blocks, whether or not the material you are trying to insert is vandalism in the strict sense. Wikipedia is very concerned not to include poorly sourced, derogatory material on living persons, who can be harmed unfairly by such material. I suggest you bear this policy in mind.

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.
