[edit] Re:

I understand your concern. However, I think we should wait to see what happens. —  scetoaux (T|C) 02:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


Okay. I agree completely. Let's let the admins handle it. James W. Ballantine (talk) 03:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Information from governmental sources

Not acceptable either; please read the policy on biographies of living people. Unless its been substantially covered by reputable media, we're not interested. Since you seem to have such an interest in adding negative material to the article, I'd suggest that editing the article at all probably isn't a good idea. Take some time to learn what Wikipedia is about and then see if you'd be interested in editing; Wikipedia:Five Pillars is a good place to start. Shell babelfish 15:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
