Like your article on Baconian theory; you'll want to add a few references, but I'm sure you plan to.

[edit] Baconian theory

I appreciate your kind and helpful comments in relation to the Baconian theory article. (Puzzle Master 23:42, 2 September 2006 (UTC))

You're certainly welcome. The comments were sincere. After a few hours of looking at the material from new contributors, it was an immense relief coming across an article so well written. I marked it to come back to read carefully later. Skål - Williamborg (Bill) 23:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Avoid legal threats

Barry: I know you think I'm trying to gang up on you but I honestly am not trying to. However, I do try to make sure Wikipedia guidelines and policies are followed. That's why I was so concerned when I saw your recent edit to Shakespearean authorship (see this diff [1]). Because you are new, you may not be aware of Wikipedia:No legal threats. This official policy is rather tough--in short, anyone making any kind of legal threat on Wikipedia can find themselves instantly banned. I don't believe you intended the edit summary at [2] (where you said "responding to libel" in reference to a statement about yourself) to be a legal threat but that's how some editors might take it. I'd suggest you preempt any possible trouble by stating on the page that you were not making a legal threat. Anyway, I'm about to go on vacation for a few days but I wanted to let you know about all this. Best, --Alabamaboy 23:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

My apologies Barry, although, you have to admit it looked kinda dodgy. ;) The Singing Badger 20:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
