[edit] A concern

Also...I am not sure it is a good idea to go around placing "unreferenced" tags at the top of numerous pages. Please reconsider. --Kukini 18:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

They do not have references. (unsigned comment by User:Grackelstein)

I understand. But you might want to consider adding references to some as you go. Just a thought. Regardless, welcome. --Kukini 18:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I would add the references myself, but I do not know them.--Grackelstein 18:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Odd pattern of behaviour

Grackelstein, can you explain why the vast majority of your edits are to re-add ref tags by a user that has been banned from the wikipedia? The user in question was banned for precisely the drive-by tagging behavior that you have added back into the articles. This seems very odd, and your "explaination" above is hardly helping matters.

That user wasn't banned just for drive-by tagging, but because he was the sockpuppet of a banned user, just as this account presumably is. —Psychonaut 22:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Heh. I was trying to get around to that question in a somewhat more circumspect way... :-) Maury 22:56, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
