[edit] Greetings!

Hi. I've added you to Category:Law student Wikipedians. Cheers! BD2412 T 17:35, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Enforce inclusion of categories

Hey, I've made a proposal to change the software to prevent mainspace pages from being saved unless they contain a category. I'd appreciate your thoughts! bd2412 T 23:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey man, thanks for the barnstar

Dude, it was really nice of you to award me that barnstar. I just wish I had more time to do better quality work here on Wikipedia, and also add articles to more different subjects (though I did write some heavy metal related articles). --Eastlaw 01:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gonna get a third opinion.

Thx - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:28, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Hehe... when you're a 3L, perhaps you will be equally as professional! Anyways, this is a collaborative endeavor, and I am never out to make beef. I can't believe you called one non-hostile revert a "low intensity edit war" in your post to Postdlf... Shocking! Well, whatever. Have a good one! - CrazyRussian talk/email 21:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Read the history. Pref and I were fiddling with these things within an hour of its creation on the 20th of August, two months ago. I would not call that an edit war. Edit war, in general, is a dirty term here. Edit wars get you flunked on your RfA more often than not. What we were doing was neither hostile nor repetitive, and once we established a disagreement, each one solicited input from other experienced users. (You chose lawyers, I went with a non-lawyer member of the Mediation Cabal. Neutrals work best. For example, if I am beefing with a buncha Jews over a Judaism-related article, I call in a gentile to adjudicate.) Anyway, what we were doing was not an edit war, and if you were an experienced user, I would have had every right to be pissed over such a sensationalist characterization of my actions - but since you're not, we're cool. Do you go to St. John's then? - CrazyRussian talk/email 14:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Not offended, but you did use the term loosely. As for my rep, you didn't harm it, don't worry. RfA is a Request for Adminship. At 700 edits you are kinda new, even though it's been eleven months. Finally, I was not trying to uncover your identity, God forbid, just making conversation. Curious which law school you go to, if I know you IRL, etc. Networking, as it were. LOL. - CrazyRussian talk/email 15:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks.

Thanks... we do what we can. --198.185.18.207 18:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Who's this "we" you're talking about? Hmm? --198.185.18.207 18:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
You know, "us". --198.185.18.207 18:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
OOOOh, I gotcha now. --198.185.18.207 18:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

I invite you to join the Pornography in the United States GA for some copyedit (mainly proper articles and punctuation marks), but feel free to edit it anyway. Thanks, --Brand спойт 22:56, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Kevin Federline

Greetings Cdog... The reason I pulled the sex tape allegation twice? The first time, it had more to do with the source. Having lived in the U.K. for a stint, I've experienced the reliability of their tabloids. In short, they make the National Enquirer look like the New York Times. It never even passed the smell test; if you were Federline, would you really let that tape out of your hands? One illegal copy, and you're out of a fortune.

Later, the people who chimed in that they were negotiating for the tape all had a vested interest. The porn peddler needs to keep his name in the headlights in order to brag about his ability to pay and distribute, while the online betting parlor was using it as an inducement to lure in new accounts.

The second time I pulled it was because Federline's lawyer stated that it didn't exist.

Last, Ms. Spears (and her representatives) never mentioned they had a sex tape. The source of that rumor was a satire piece, believe it or not. Some idiot reporter (or editor) read the satire piece off the newswires (where it was released), and actually integrated it into a separate story. If you're interested in the genesis, try a Google news search, and you'll see what I mean.

If you're bored with second year law classes (who could blame you), you may want to check these two links out:

http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s4i12111 http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_27269967.shtml

That article was published last week. It was in written in response to both the sex tape rumors, and the fact that Britney was giving away baby pictures in order to prevent Federline from cashing in, as he was entitled to as per the prenuptial agreement.
