[edit] Presley

Welcome back. You'll be happy, or perhaps alarmed, to hear that this sorry article is now semiprotected rather than fully protected. This means that you (for example) can edit it, but people who aren't logged in cannot. -- Hoary 07:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah, I do hope it gets improved in the long run. At least non-registered users can't vandalize it. --Northmeister 14:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good by Nature

Saw that comment and I would have to disagree. Let us appeal to history, and our current times for adequate evidence. Can we count the number of lives that have been extinguished due to fanaticism, power hungry madmen, and despotic rulers? No it is a number astonishingly large. If men were inherently good then why are there so many cases of pedophilia, rapings, and mutliating murders? Why are gangs out of control, and why do millions starve while a rich elite turn a blind eye? Why are fanatical religions promoting the extermination of a particular race of men, and why does racial tension abound worldwide? These are not actions of an inherently good creature. It appears to me that men are on the whole pretty bad! Grundle 20:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

WHAT? Not sure what comment your talking about. --Northmeister 20:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC) - I see, about men being inherently good. Well its subject to debate. I tend to feel that most of us are inherently good and it's our environment that propels man to wicked deeds together with the few who for whatever reason feed upon disenchantment. "One bad apple ruins the bunch" as the old saying goes. --Northmeister 20:45, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elvis Presley article

An editor has complained that you are removing sourced material from the draft of Elvis Presley. Please work with him in good faith and do not remove sourced material without a specific reason. " I don't see where that material helps"[2] is not a good reason. -Will Beback 01:27, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Onefortyone has a long history - good faith has been substantially shown by my edits, which I've included his. Mostly I am trying to keep the article to wikipedia standards and to verifiable sources that are summarized rather than an extensive list of quotes. His present complaints don't make sense to me. I've set up the sandbox to address his concerns and to work out problems with his edits. Thanks for the input. And your still invited to help out in making it a presentable article - which is my only concern. --Northmeister 01:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

You don't seem to be aware of it but Ted Wilkes has been banned from editing Wikipedia. He was banned in mid March for 1 year by the Arbitration Committee. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 00:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
