There was an edit to Child sexual abuse. It was by an anon shared IP with no previous edits (by that user, judging by the edit history), and it was a link (properly placed in the external links section) to basically a user page (like a Yahoo page), with an essay, with no identification, about the person's personal experiences. It was a good essay, but... anyway, I reverted it. OK turns out it was a real editor User:Kintaro who had forgot to sign in. Now, Kintaro says he has been working with other Wikipedians (but via private email) to polish this essay up for placement as a link. Anyway, my user talk shows my message (to the anon) and his reply.

The thing is, this is a really hearbreaking essay, you know? I don't want to be all like NYAH to the guy. If it was on the personal website of a self-identified "advocate" (even if non-notable) it could be included, I think; we include all kinds of links. But I dunno, it seems just too personal for WP. I don't know if its true, for instance. So I'm not sure what to do.

[This is the essay (it's a PDF. Herostratus 19:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

My 2c. Kill the link. If the essay was published in a literary or academic journal (reviewed by peers), or by some agency or advocacy group, then it might have a place in WP. Don't look at it s a heart breaking essay. Look at it from a draw-the-line point of view. If we let people link self-published stuff into academic articles, where's the encyclopedic value. The essay should prove its value in "the world" first, and then it might have a place here. Rklawton 19:53, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm afraid I agree. My opinion is: I think we need to kill the link. Further opinions will be expressed on Hero's talk page. --DanielCD 20:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Lewis Carroll

There are a number of guidelines and policies relevant here (see Wikipedia:External links for basic information). The main point, though, is that we avoid overusing external links; Wikipedia is an encyclopædia, not a link repository. In this case, most if not all of the links were relevant to other articles — there's no point cluttering up this article with them. WAS 4.250 is going through various articles cleaning up the often (as in this case) very long collections of links in line with Wikipedia's guidelines. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

This and that

That particular editor is keen on picking a fight with me. Tempted to sharpen my sword but instead, I walked away. He is one of the editors on Sweden Democrats. Accused me of hypocrisy because I edited the article putting in temporary text. Anticipating this type of trouble, I put draft: not final in my edit summary. Well, after the rude comment I stopped working on the article, telling them that editing Wikipedia was suppose to be a pleasant leisure activity and this article was no longer enjoyable.

Katelyn Faber

Hello : ) Can you look at this and give an opinion. There is a content dispute around the use of a tabloid image in the biography of a possible rape victim. I removed the image and asked that it not be re-inserted without consensus from a large number of experienced users. Generally, I follow a 1RR and almost never remove except for clear copyright violation or libel. I won't remove it again, but will depend on like minded editor to help figure out the best course of action. Nightscream brought the case to arb comm because Tufflaw keeps removing the image. Unless I missed it, I can't see any attempts at dispute resolution, so good chance that arb comm will reject the case. Hope this will not turn into a long drawn-out community-wide dispute. : ( --FloNight talk 16:10, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks...and

Daniel, I enjoyed working the Bradshaw article with you and I think we made a nice improvement. I am somewhat new here but I've been around long enough to know Wiki is a blast when you're working with reasonable folks espcially when you're writing about subjective subjects. Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask of you :-) I glanced at some of your contributions and someone with you insight is sorely needed at the alcoholism article. Possibly as a referee.

I have been briefly been working on the alcoholism article and it is becoming somewhat of a mine field. I'm sure I have contributed to the current air of contention in one way or another. The idea of formally asking for an administrator or some other arbitration has been mentioned by several people (myself included). I'm supportive of that but I'm not sure it's needed just yet. Rather than give you my point of view would you mind dropping by that article when or if you have a spare moment? And the talk pages of a few people are just as relevant, including my own.

I'd be open to your observations and would be interested in any advice you may have on how we can get this thing moving in a good direction. I feel like it could be one of the very few NPOV articles on alcoholism on the internet but there is a huge debate on facts (empirical data) and popular opinion (what everyone just knows). We have been unable to agree on a definition. As a side issue, you might also enjoy contributing the article as well :-) Thanks Mr Christopher 04:49, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Mr Christopher, I saw this note and checked out the article. Alot of changes you made to alcoholism and other articles over the last few days seem pov. We need to talk about re-wording to eliminate pov and getting reliable sources to verify the text. FloNight talk 09:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Bigfoot seen in Hawaii

Nawao Hawaiian folklore/myth about a giant hairy, long bearded wildman of the islands. This race of tall wild people did not mix with man and is said to have existed in ancient times before white man came to the islands. Once dwellers of the forest that lived on bananas, the nawao are believed to be extinct long time ago. (Beckwith)

Aikanaka Hawaiian giants; ancient folklore generated by workers in the pineapple fields of Hawaii. Aikanaka means the Man-eater of Oahu in Hawaiian legends and folklore. When the Aikanaka legends first became part of the Obake Files, a search was then made through the older materials collected a decade before which linked the area of Wahiawa to strange, unnatural beings that were giant in stature and covered in thick hair. Two such stories surfaced, which had been collected in the 1970s that revealed island oddities on a scale equal to that of the Pacific Northwest's bigfoot. The giants were said to walk the pineapple fields at night, where footprints were found.(Obake Files)

Please add Hawaii to article. Thanks,

fan of DanielCD

Your rewrite looks quite excellent! --DanielCD 14:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. The article in my sandbox is truely "Work in Progress". Since it is the "center point" of all these articles I have not "replaced" the main article. I will do more edits today. I also forget an edit to the Harman article that I will add today. I will then post another note on the Castle Talk page to make people aware (pointing to my sandbox), and finally post it. I may be being over cautious, but I think that is the "proper" way to do this.

What do you mean by "Take the cover picture I scanned and use it in the box"? Are you saying for the main article? What image? I am new to wikipedia, so please be patient. -Todd 16:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

The article in my sandbox would not have a picture since it is too generic. If it did it would best have the picture of the 1926, 1935 or 1946 edition published by Brod, but I doubt I will find any of those. In the Pasley section I am going to put an infobox on the Pasley edition of Das Scho� since that would be of value and not found anywhere else. Does this address your concern? -Todd 16:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Medical anus thing

Hi DanielCD, I recently made an edit to the term "Anal fistula" and you removed it from the main page and put it in the discussion area as "advertising."

I wouldn't necessarily call it advertising, because it is a treatment option that thousands of people are not aware of, and it is only offered by Cook Medical Inc. I included the website and my personal contact, in order for people to have a direct contact should they need more information.

If it violates your policy, please explain to me what I need to change in order to have it stay on the main page. I know that I am advertising a product my company manufactures, but this product is available no where else. More than just a product, it's a new treatment option. If someone needs it, would it be wrong to include my company website for further information?

Please let me know. I am new to this website format so I am not sure how you will reply. But, if you need it, my email is Omar.Sharif@cookmedical.com

Thanks, -Omar User:Olvlal2

Ls-Studio 2

Thanks for the message, DanielCD. I�ll try to find references about the hardcore content in other sites. And, for last, I�d like to say that I�m not worried with bananas - it was with dildos (I�m kidding!). My worrying is with the "innocence" that the people can find in the article. They haven�t how to know the truth, so I wanted you to saying this in the article. It�s just a worrying with precipitated conclusions. We�re in a moment where everything seems to be cool. We�re changing crime for pleasure. It�s this. Alright? Ken Bruce 21:49, March 30 2006 (S�o Paulo, Brazil)

neoplatonism & gnosticism

I have had this article reviewed by professor Moore. I have the email. I can forwatd it to you. Professor Moore is part of the international neoplatonic society. I have not add more to article because I am corresponding with him. Please of the list of members these are the people who have written many many very famous adn acclaimed books on the subject of GREEK philosophy. http://www.isns.us/directory/america-canada/index.htm http://www.isns.us/directory/europe/index.htm

This is the whos who of philosophy. Goethian is EVERYTHING THAT PEOPLE HAVE CRITIZED WIKIPEDIA ABOUT. Your poster posts new age groups as sources for ancient greek culture. Not greek scholars. He is openly made fun of online and wikipedia indirecty because of him. See the falk blog as one of his own examples. Because of some of the ridiculous nonsense articles(see the historically incorrect nonsense article- gnosticism and the new testement- for pure shame and embarassment) also because of the embaressingly stupid fighting on wikipedia I can not get scholars to come and post here. This article as well as the made up theory posted under plotinus' bio are fantastic examples. I was able to get this scholar [| Professor Moore] out of the kindness of his heart to review an article that a new age @#$% is now suggesting be DELETED. LoveMonkey 04:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Lobbying for smaller TeX font as an optional choice

This is an equation created with Wikipedia's TeX font for math markup:

Q\;=\;C\;A\;P\;\sqrt{\bigg(\frac{\;\,g_c\;k\;M}{Z\;R\;T}\bigg)\bigg(\frac{2}{k+1}\bigg)^{(k+1)/(k-1)}}

This is the same equation created using WikiCities' TeX font for the very same math markup:

Image:ChokedFlowCAPUS.png

It is quite obvious that the WikCities TeX font is smaller than the Wikipedia's TeX font. In my opinion, the WikiCities font is also much neater and tidier. What I mean by neater and tidier is that it is much closer to the size of the regular text so that the overall look of an article that uses equations is more balanced.

Also, the smaller TeX font allows for displaying longer equations (within the limited display screen width) than does the Wikipedia font.

I submitted a request to Bugzilla about a month ago asking that Wikipedia make available the smaller WikiCities font as an alternate option ... not to replace the font now used by Wikipedia, but only to offer the smaller WikiCities font as an optional choice to Wikipedians. My request was assigned the bug number 4915. Anyone can vote in favor of proceeding with the bug request at Bugzilla Bug 4915 and thus far I am the only one who has voted to proceed.

If you agree with me that the smaller font should be offered as an alternate, please visit the bugzilla page at Bugzilla Bug 4915 and scroll down to the page bottom where is says "Vote for this bug" and do so. If you are not already registered with bugzilla, it will ask you to do that first ... but it only takes a minute to do so.

If it isn't correct for me to lobby you for the smaller font, please let me know. Thanks and please vote.

Email

Hello : ) DanielCD the email list is completely different from the on site Wikipedia email system. The Wikipedia English email list is a moderated list where broad policy issues are discussed. (There are different ones for each different Wikipedia language.) You have to have your emails approved the first few times to screen out spam and trolls. Most of the arbitrators and many very long term editors post there. Jimbo weighs in on important issues. You should have seen the discussion during the user box ruckus. That was the only time that I completely quit reading the list. Everybody and their brother had volumes to say on the subject. Usually a small group post and answer. With certain topics like the image deletion issue more people will voice an opinion. I rarely post to the list. Just if it is a topic of special interest to me.

User:LoveMonkey

Daniel, am I to understand that there will be no repercussions for User:LoveMonkey's harrassment of User:Visualerror? This happened back in Feburary, but with the departure of User:Gator1 due to a similar set of events, I think that to ignore this user's actions sets a dangerous precedent. User:LoveMonkey objected to changes that User:Visualerror made to the Plotinus article and then emailed several of User:Visualerror's professors, asking them if they were aware of what Visualerror was doing. All the details are on the Talk:Plotinus page. Visualerror's reactions: [3], [4]. LoveMonkey's reaction: [5], [6]LoveMonkey was working under an IP address for part of the time, but it's clear that it the same person as User:LoveMonkey. Wisely, User:Visualerror has put the whole thing behind him and hasn't made a fuss about it. But it seems like a serious matter to me. Especially considering that LoveMonkey is now getting his way and asserting his POV in various articles after the departure of User:VisualError from the Plotinus article — in other words, his fascistic strategy (not sure what else to call it) was completely successful. I brought this up on the Neoplatonism and Gnosticism AfD page, but that was the wrong place and it was ignored. If this is also not the right place, just tell me where to go (literally and figuratively). — goethean ॐ 19:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Ahh. Empty Article.. I mean if someone erases everything in Article, then other wikipedian will find it instantly. For Example, Someone erased everything on Alexander Graham Bell about his life, job etc, then Other wikipedian reverts it into last version(normal)<That means Alexander Graham Bells information is deleted>.

Nescio

From N page

ALL the Material that follows in this section was removed here from the Friedrich Nietzsche talk page. --DanielCD 23:12, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Italicized material was moved from above.

  • The following response was added to my talk page and then removed to Nescio's talk page:
My farewell paragraph did not aim especially at you, but at the alliance (what you called community consensus) that flocked around Goethean, exactly around that participant who behaved utterly unsociable from the very beginning, who did not bring in one single argument, who stubbornly repeated his "nyet", and who then eradicated all reference to any Stirner/Nietzsche topic (see also Morten's comment on his arrogance at the talk page of the Stirner article). Even if you had no time to read the scholarly article I referred to you should have seen from the long talks what kind of battle Goethean (and his helpers) have been waging. -- I tried to introduce an interesting and enlightening piece from recent N scholarship, which offers a solution to an old problem of N biographics (see the reference to the Brobjer article, recently also deleted by Goethean), and those people obviously feared that this will do, as Igni wrote, a great deal of damage to Nietzsche. No, Daniel, I don't think I have to be "more sociable" here, I can do well without getting farther at this place. --Nescio* 09:26, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The above and below were added here by Nescio for the purposes of personal attack:
Well good riddance. --DanielCD 16:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Well sorry, I guess I can't help you. --DanielCD 16:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Apparently, Nescio is unhappy that he asked for my help and I disagreed with him, so now he is trying to make it personal. The "riddance" statement was added by me on my talk page in response to the comment, and almost immediately reverted and replaced with the second statment. I am not ashamed to say that I am happy to be rid of someone I try to help and then that person comes and shits I feel that person is rude to me, but even then I thought the statement a bit harsh and removed it. His placing it here was done totally in bad faith and is tantamount to a personal attack. I'm sorry ppl can't keep persepective and feel the need to take things so personally. But now that it's been dug up, I believe it needed a response. --DanielCD 19:30, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Daniel, true, I was a bit disappointed that you gave an opinion - in favor of the Goethean nondiscussing party - on the importance of the factual question at stake here without having studied the source I draw from, even if you did so due to lack of time. I experienced this as in contrast to the warm words of welcome and encouragement you just had sent me as a newcomer. You could have judged without investing much time from Goethean's and some of his helpers' conduct alone - on this and on the Stirner talk page. But I cannot remember that I ever "shit" on you in what way ever, neither before the "riddance" statement nor thereafter. And I won't do it now. -- The discussion between the two of us about this matter was split between the Nietzsche talk page and our personal talk pages. This was the reason for my putting parts together at one place. I was and still am in the opinion that nothing in wikipedia pages is ever deleted or removed from public space, so I cannot see an "attack" on you. Everybody interested in the details can follow them on your talk page, and I wonder why you removed just our discourse at all. Anyway, this is not the place for pondering over motivations. I just want to tell you that I never intended a personal attack on you, and I cannot understand why you call what I did an attack and moreover, why you made this a topic on this Nietzsche talk page. --Nescio* 11:59, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Um... It was you who did this here, not I. I did not delete it, I removed it to your page; there's no need for two identical records. I wanted to wash my hands of this BS and be done with it. I don't know why on heaven and earth you saw fit to remove something from our talk pages and put it here. --DanielCD 18:55, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Jacob Rodrigues Péreire

Hello Daniel, I was wondering if I could trouble you for a little help: something went wrong, when I tried to make a redirect from "Jacob Rodrigues Péreire" to "Jacob Rodrigues Pereira" - can you help me? His right name is Jacob Rodrigues Pereira, he was born in Peniche Portugal and only his grandsons took a "french(ized)" name. Thanks, --Sei Shonagon 05:15, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Pereira is still at the wrong name in the "de WP" because I have not found someone, who is so nice like you, to help me. I've tried, but it went wrong and all the text disappeared, REDIRECTs are difficult for me! (Ist das richtig? - Nein, das ist nicht richtig! Und ich werde es noch schaffen, es richtig zu machen!) --Sei Shonagon 21:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

HELP Bully

...I mean LITERALLY... ;o)

A couple zealous newbie have landed on the Bully and Workplace bullying articles, hell bent on training for the "subjectivity and agenda driven opinion and hype" event in the next Olympics.

They really need somebody to, gently, explain to them properly how Wikipedia does and does not work...you are so good at that...PPPPLLLEEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEE!!! --Zeraeph 20:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Think it's all quiet now, as soon as they realised this wasn't "Speakers Corner" they just faded. There seem to be a few nice new impartial editors hanging around waiting to make real informed contributions (LOVE THAT! ;o) ). So I guess the "bully" articles are in for a long overdue rework. I've been a bit quiet myself having come down with some kind of late flu. Thanks --Zeraeph 22:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Battle of Plataea

Hi Daniel. This anon has been POV-pushing on several articles and has broken 3RR in battle of Plataea. I was about to compile a report on the administration notice board, but it's good that you showed up. He has also delivered me personal attacks of ethnic content [7] (e.g. "Greek bigot", or "that's Greek BS"), and has shown unwillingness to follow editor and scholarly consensus.

Help with Oakland Community College article

Hello, I was hoping you could help me out with a problem i'm having. An article i've created Oakland Community College has been marked as copyright violation by user Digitalme. I admit I don't know much about Wikipedia policy or how to handle the violation and, unfortunately, I can't research this because I have a lot of things i'm doing right now. As an admin i'm assuming you probably know a lot about Wikipedia policy and know the proper precautions to take.

My argument for it not being copyright protected is because the material in the article is based on a college and the "copyrighted" text used in the article is based on the college's homepage - which was properly linked as an external link. Couldn't that account as fair use for education purposes? Plus, the text (as far as I know) in the article isn't copied word for word.

I'd also like to make an additional response to the fact that it says if the matter isn't settled within a week from the tagging the article will be up for deletion. The problem, however, is that I didn't know about this until today because the user who tagged the edit marked it as a minor edit. I'd appreciate your assistance in this matter. Thanks in advance. --Jelligraze 18:35, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Interesting incident

Hello DanielCD : - ) Saw this case on AN/I. It is the typed of case we wondered about before. Look at it and see if you think it is a trap or real sexual encounter.

Administrators took action and the incident was eliminated very quickly. See what you think. FloNight talk 23:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey there. I was hoping to use a picture of your user page in my thesis, part of which involves that Charmmy Kitty maven, SuggestBot.

Hamilton-Burr duel

AMBER Alerts

In regards to your search for citeable information on AMBER Alert false alarms: In 2005, Scripps Howard News comissioned a study of all AMBER Alerts that were issued in the United States in 2004. Only one-third of the alerts actually met the U.S. Department of Justice's criteria for the issuing of alerts. I've written a short section in the article for false alarms, citing and linking the study. Thought you'd like to know. Kevyn 05:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Weaksauce, man

Look, I hate to be the language police, and you're a great editor, but you know as well as I do how frequently people use the word "adolescent" and its variants on Wikipedia to disparage the quality of other people's contributions. I think the implication that many would take from your comments is that only younger editors would add such information to an article, or—alternatively, that older editors who were doing so weren't acting their age ("You guys... we're grown people here. This Cheney thing is just downright adolescent.."). It's not that big of a deal, but I think there is an overall environment on Wikipedia that is hostile to younger editors. I know this because several friends of mine who are in highschool have chosen to lie about their age because they don't feel their edits are respected otherwise. If you need further proof of this, see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Bulbasaur. Anyway, it's very possible that this is not what you meant at all; I'm just asking you to be a little more careful because this actually is a sensitive subject for some on Wikipedia. savidan(talk) (e@) 17:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll avoid using such terms in the future if ppl find it offensive. --DanielCD 19:31, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Consider substituting the word "unproductive" for "Adolescent." I think it's closer to your intent. Rklawton 19:56, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Followup on your Spy Sweeper comments

Hi, I'm a frequent lurker who was interested in your negative review about Spy Sweeper. You noted that it installed spyware to detect in an attempt to force you to purchase their program. As someone who used to work in computer tech support, I like to know about which spyware detection programs are on the level and which aren't. If you could give me specific details about your experience such as how the problem happened and what spyware it allegedly detected, let me know.

P.S. I'm not a plant for SpySweeper, so don't worry. I'm just trying to compile a working knowledge of which spyware detection programs are bogus and which aren't. (The bogus programs which are actually spyware or a form of scamware is growing into the hundreds according to one list.)

re Rind et al. (1998)

You've read Rind et al, haven't you? (I mean the study, not the article.) Just what is the deal with that? I have a copy and I suppose someday I'll plow through it (ugh), but for one thing I can't do the math.

So what's the deal with Rind? Is it just me, or is his handwaving about the fac that his study only includes college students pretty lame? (Ah, the convenience of academia. "Shall we include a representative sample of the general population, sir?" ""No, just grab some kids going by in the hall.")

I mean, hey. "Well, my study shows that poverty is not that bad, 'cause they all made it to college, didn't they?" "Well, my study shows that losing your hands in a horrible accident is not that bad, they all made it to college didn't they?" etc.

But aside from that, even if you're just selecting for college students, what is the deal with that study? Is one of us crazy, or is it OK to cruise for dates at the playground after all? Any insight on this? Herostratus 04:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Justin Boggs

As you know, local politicos sometimes try to abuse Wikipedia for their political gain. I may have found such a case. See: User:Jjboyle and User:Jjboggs43204. First, can you see if they are sock puppets? Second, check out their edits (or I'll send you a list of links if you prefer). They seem oriented around promoting Boggs and attacking another candidate. The fun part about this is that Boyle finally loses his cool and vandalizes the AfD page for Justin Boggs. If Boyle is Boggs and Boggs is Justin Boggs, then we've caught a politician red handed. I'd be happy to turn this one over to the press. Will you assist? Rklawton 21:44, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

stumbling around

Hey, Daniel,

While attempting to orient myself in this 21st century website with an 19th century brain, I happened across your response to me last February.

Thank you for your helpful intentions - I eventually figured it all out, as you can see,

If you redirected the image and text to the orthoceras site, thank you. That's what you do best,

This image is from a scanned slab - photoshopped for polishing. I hope that doesn't disqualify it as a photo. It beats licking it as I haven't polished as of yet.

A passion of mine is digital photography - some samples if you email me.

Hi! I miss you too. ;-)

I haven't been writing article lately and I miss it terribly. Did you notice that my talk page looks like AN/I these days. I like helping users per request left there but I need to spend more time writing to feed my soul. Recently I started clerking for the arbitration committee; oh the stories I could tell but have to kill you after.

I stopped working on pedophilia articles after Wikipedia Review started analyzing my edits. In general they tend to twist the meaning of edits to benefit their current conspiracy theory. Didn't think I could take the risk considering the subject.

Are you taking pictures for your plants and rocks articles? Let me know what you're working on so I can admire. :-) Take care, FloNight 18:54, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

RE:The Erotic Network

I edited the article accordingly, what more do you want?? What constitutes the perfect article, in your mind?? Its about a freaking TV chaanel, what the hell is it supposed to say, huh?!? Your messing with the wrong guy, I don't quit- I will keep posting it until its allowed to stay up!HeMan5 04:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Once again, the article is about a TELEVISION CHANNEL!, what is there to write about it. You want me to write a book about a TV network, I think you are the one talking nonsense here?! I added references to the latest version before it was deleted, maybe you missed that? Why is this article any different than the article for Spice Network or Playboy TV, care to explain?? Maybe those should be deleted as well, they seem like nonsense to me also?? I need a better explanation than you are giving me, elaborate!! HeMan5 04:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Since this article is on the verge of deletion, what exactly would NOT qualify as spam?? What can I write that would not be considered spam?? Also, you still did not answer my question about why Spice Network article is still there and mine was deleted? In case you didn't notice, the structure of both articles was near Identical, not exactly the same, but similar. Yet one was deleted and the other was not?! Waiting for clarification on that, thanks.

Note, instead of just removing questionable info he deleted the entire article. If there's only so much info on someone, the various summaries of the info can sound alike.
