[edit] Request

I respectfully ask that everyone stop communicating on this page for at least a fortnight, calm down, and put things in perspective. Combatants (and that's what they've become) sully themselves to no benefit and nothing positive came come of this behaviour.

By stepping back for a period of time everyone can show good faith. I challenge everyone at the end of the cooling of period to show continuing good faith by being respectful of others. Disagreement is useful but fighting isn't.Cecelia Hensley 17:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)— Cecelia Hensley (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. (This sock puppet was subsequently blocked.)

[edit] Suspected sock puppets

This has been going on since the end of June. I have launched a discussion of the sock puppet allegations at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. The discussion will continue for 10 days. Will all interested parties please contribute? Nunquam Dormio 09:54, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Restoration of August 31 version

Material of interest was missing in subsequent versions as a result of actions of the above disputed accounts, which are now blocked. Given the suspect nature of content removal during that period, I am restoring a version with maximum non-derogatory information content. 71.160.248.79 01:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
