[edit] Robert Ira Lewy

Thank you for your note about the article. The article has always struck me as a likely conflict of interest, but the formatting of it is so difficult to sift through that I never really got around to tackling it. I have removed the information that you added, not because I do not believe you, but because it's always important to include sources when adding negative information about living persons. I'm considering nominating the article for deletion, mostly because I was never fully convinced that he was notable by Wikipedia's definition. I'll write up a nomination for deletion later today, so check back at the article. Leebo ^T/C 12:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Robert Ira Lewy

An article that you have been involved in editing, Robert Ira Lewy, has been listed by me for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Ira Lewy. Thank you. Leebo ^T/C 13:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citing sources

Typically, sources are cited by placing your sources within <ref></ref> tags. Then they will appear within the References section. The reason I removed what you added before is because, according to the policies at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, "poorly sourced negative information" can and should be removed from biographies. If you can't provide a source, then you shouldn't add it to the article. If you have a source, but do not wish to tackle the technical aspect of adding it yourself, you could place the source on the article's talk page for someone else to add.

I'm also not sure why it's important to include information about his past wives unless that has been written about by reliable sources. Leebo ^T/C 19:58, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: help with harvard college edit

Hi. You must be referring to my only edit to John F. Kennedy. I did not change the word college to university. All I did (as stated in my edit summary) was remove your signature from the article. There is no need to sign the article main-spaces; signatures are for talk pages. ~Enviroboy^Talk_Contribs - 01:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Did you try just leaving a message on User talk:Dravecky? I've changed the article in the meantime. ~Enviroboy^Talk_Contribs - 01:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plácido Domingo

Hi, I hope you are right and I have changed it to New York University. However, I hope you could give me the link to your finding as the reference, so then I could add it next to the university. In here, we cant put info without any proof - Jay (talk) 02:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
