To you at Talk:Electronic_voice_phenomenon#rewrite. ---J.S (t|c) 21:06, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

If you put the draft back on the temp page - I'll sort it out. Davkal 19:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Tom Butler, I appreciate your hard-work and effort, but I find your assumption that I'm a "skeptic" to be slightly puzzling. I've conducted a small amount of EVP research myself and I wished to expand on an article that I had personal expertise in.

It is truly a shame you couldn't format it for Wiki standards. Actually, wikipedia accepts HTML as well, so you could submit it in HTML if you were more comfortable with that.

I do appreciate you uploading it to your website. Would you mind putting a note on the article about releasing it under the GFDL? I'd love to use parts of it, if you will still let me. ---J.S (t|c) 07:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] EVP Sound

With your permission, can I convert one of your EVP-example audio files to Ogg and release it here as GDFL? ---J.S ^(T/C) 22:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] COI

You should make yourself familiar with conflict of interest and proceed accordingly. Your edits at electronic voice phenomena especially should be carefully considered in light of this. --ScienceApologist 02:51, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Threat reported

I reported your threat here. --ScienceApologist 03:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Appreciate your comments

If you think that Spiritualism#Developments after the 1920s misrepresents current developments then please be bold and make some changes. I hope you would also consider doing some work on the Spiritualist Church article--many people have made small contributions to it, but it needs someone knowledgeable (like you) to straighten it out. You may also have noticed that we need an article for National Spiritualist Association of Churches. Anthon.Eff 21:35, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict of interest

Please do not edit Electronic voice phenomenon - since you are mentioned in the article and run a site mentioned, it is a conflict of interest for you to edit the article per WP:COI. Feel free to participate on the talk page. --Milo H Minderbinder 00:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to EVP.

Hello. three different cases on the AN/I, including [1], [2], and [3] brought me to your talk page after reviewing the issue in question. You have a clear conflict of interest, a WP:COI, if you are who you purport to be. Even if you aren't actually that person, your actions in aligning yourself with such a person's views represents equal COI, and as such, you should immediately cease and desist any and all edits to the EVP article. I recommend you instead use the page's talk page to provide sources and citation for edits you'd like other editors to consider makng to the page. If this is unacceptable, I recommend you leave the EVP pages entirely. Thank you. ThuranX 20:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

You have now been blocked for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Discussion is done on the article talk page, not in edit summaries when you revert to your preferred version of an article. --InShaneee 22:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Do not disrupt Wikipedia to make a point, please

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. From: Yuser31415 00:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please explain

What do you mean here?:

"This is a pretty clear attempt at censorship. Wikipedia is a publicly supported 501(c)(3) organization and there may be questions of constitutional law concerning free speech. Are you sure you want to go down that path as you and your skeptic friends do everything you can to eliminate "proponents"?" Tom Butler 16:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC) [4]

On another note, you have a serious COI on the subject of EVP, and therefore you should be wary about commenting on the subject or editing the article, since you are a co-director of the AAEVP.

You also have a COI as regards Martin's essay, since it links to your site more than once. Just be careful. -- Fyslee/talk 20:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
