[edit] Landis tag
I am not sure why you placed the sprotected tag, but I have removed it. The page isn't protected currently and nor does it look as though it needs to be.--Arktos talk 19:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] {{sprotected}} tagging
Please do not add {{sprotected}} tags to pages. It doesn't do anything to protect the page, and the pages you're adding it to aren't proected. If you want to protect a page, you should figure out how to request protection and let an administrator handle it. RossPatterson 00:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thankyou very much. Over the last year the Spain and other pages have gradually come to have some semblance of coherent information - thanks to many. Now, however, it needs cleaning. I´ll do so as Provocateur. Don´t hesitate if you think anything I do is wrong - I´ve learnt much from my mistakes. Cheers.
[edit] Hiss
(I did get your message - the browser cutting off thing is annoying, but I just reformatted my talk page by moving your comment to the bottom so not to worry!). I am not sure what the story with regards to Hiss is. I was simply reading the article, which seems to suggest that there is a real controversy over what, if any, role he played in espionage for the Soviets. The lead then says categorically that he was a spy. That simply seemed a little unfair to me, so I added an "alledgedly" into the lead, to match it up with the rest of the article. Hope that helps.

[edit] Cut to the chase
Do you have a source for your proposed derivation? I can't find one, and it seems most improbable to me.--Londoneye 11:42, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Protecting Mexican Revolution
Just to let you know, adding {{sprotected}} or {{protected}} to a page is only a means for an admin to notify users that a page is protected. This does not actually confer protection to the article such as the notice you placed on Mexican Revolution. If you need help protecting a page, please contact an admin or request it. Thanks! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 13:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Air America article
Please take a look at this sentence you added: it needs to be 2 sentences or it needs something to tie "commentators " to the first part. "But such predictions of the future are not encyclopedic, but for establishing a pattern commentators continuing doubts as to the commercial viability of a liberal talk model on broadcast radio. " ThanksEdison 21:37, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. v. Greenmoss Builders
Hi, I noticed you were writing and article on Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. v. Greenmoss Builders. Are you interested in joining Wikiproject:U.S. Supreme Court cases? --Eastlaw 02:37, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hey Chivista
It was actually a moving moment when Franken said that. A guy in the audience said, "Could we start using progressive more? Liberal...is so namby-pamby..." and Franken responded, "No. Liberalism has a proud tradition, and I want to be called liberal. The difference between liberal and conservative is that liberal cares about the communal, common good, and not just the individual. Most of America is liberal, they just have to be reminded of it. Look what happened when they tried to change Social Security and privatize it. We have to stop allowing the other side to define us, and when we reject the word Liberal we have allowed them to define us." It was great. To be honest, I have deep regard for both conservatives and liberals, in as much as I have deep regard for the yin and yang of the universe. that regard came from my own law class, "Jurisprudence and Political Theory" where we delved into the philosophy behind the law. The problem is that both sides tend to go overboard. Or, as Franken put it, the current people in power aren't conservative. Clinton left a record surplus when he left office. This administration cuts taxes in the midst of two wars - what's conservative about that? Thanks for all the great work you do on here. --DavidShankBone 15:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] W. Barrett & Thanks
Thanks for removing the non-notability note on Wayne Barrett. Good call. (I made a few additions to his bibliography.)Dogru144 23:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Image: A guide to Pseudo-events in America
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article The Image: A guide to Pseudo-events in America, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:The Image: A guide to Pseudo-events in America. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
