[edit] Edit summaries
Hello, and thank you for your contributions. It is good practice to fill in the Edit Summary field, or add to it in the case of section editing, as it helps everyone to understand what is changed, such as when perusing the history of the page. It's a good idea to set your user preferences (under Edit) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". When editing a page, a small "Summary" field under the main edit-box looks like this:
Thank you. - Jeeny Talk 18:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Black people
Hi Can you please revert your "blonde and colored-eyed actors who resemble Scandinavians or Anglos more than they" to "blue-eyed"? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.125.109.92 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Vandal reference
"When you're done dealing with another vandal's piece of fun"...
I hope that you are not referring to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M5891 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Um, no, I wasn't. I was talking about the Grawp-sock vandal, actually. He was reverting the havok the sock had wreaked, which was quite a bit. I needed an admin, saw he was around, and said, when you're done dealing with that, could you deal with this? I wasn't talking about you -- why would I be? Gscshoyru 16:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 17:34, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Contradiction.
I refuse to have others who think that they are experts on my ethnic group make a mockery out of or enforce stereotypes against it. The Census Bureau, while informative, is not infallible. Now if others within my ethnic group want to dispute identity with me, that is fine. I know that there are many who would disagree with me, but at the same time there are many others who would approve of what I am saying. I would certainly not argue with someone of a different ethnic group about how they should refer to him/herself as.
My intent is not to offend or undermine anyone or make personal attacks. I want to respect the ideas of others but only if they are willing to return the favor. That is all that I request. Thank you. M5891 03:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Vandalism and lack of neutrality
You changed the order of the Race/Ethnicity table. The Hispanic or Latino entry to the bottom of the table here. I didn't understand why the second largest group should be put at the bottom of the table. It was not neutral. And you changed the words here. The line 145. Asian-Americans, European-Americans and African-Americans are well-established words. I didn't understand why you added the adjective non-Hispanic to them and thought it was not neutral.

[edit] Fight for Truth
Dear Friend of mine, it took me sometime to give you an answer since I was trying to find within me words that might be able to express how deeply Grateful and honored I am for your comment. I do not feel truly worthy of it but, it indeed comes in a most needed occasion. I have found no "wise" words that I could use to transmit unto you how I felt when reading your message; instead there is a little poem of the 19th century that I keep within me and would like to share with you: please accept it as token of my gratitude; may you too find within its spirit strength to carry on your own constructive efforts:
IN my mind's eye a Temple, like a cloud
Slowly surmounting some invidious hill,
Rose out of darkness: the bright Work stood still:
And might of its own beauty have been proud,
But it was fashioned and to God was vowed
By Virtues that diffused, in every part,
Spirit divine through forms of human art:
Faith had her arch--her arch, when winds blow loud,
Into the consciousness of safety thrilled;
And Love her towers of dread foundation laid
Under the grave of things; Hope had her spire
Star-high, and pointing still to something higher
Trembling I gazed, but heard a voice--it said,
"Hell-gates are powerless Phantoms when 'we' build."
- -- William Wordsworth, 1827
Last, if I was been able to give "other contributors something to think about", then indeed I have reached my highest aim at this free encyclopedia of human activity. After the next couple of editions I leave.
At your service, Marco --Tekto9 (talk) 22:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] To whom it may concern.
A few months ago I drew the ire of several users by repeatedly attempting to insert and remove within one particular article several terms and statements which some identified as "vandalism" (even comparing it to some of the worst defacements committed on this site). I admit that while most of my content was legitimate and well-documented, the practice by which I was inserting it was less than professional. I ultimately issued an apology for this flawed method of editing as well as for several less-than-professional statements directed at a few other users. Still, I was also the target of several unnecessary threats and insults which have been seemingly ignored since then. Furthermore, the branding of a "troublemaker" resulted in the disregard and deletion of several of my contributions in other articles without any formal or legitimate reasoning for doing so. I agreed to apologize for the mistakes I made, now I am requesting the same from those who did wrong towards me.
