[edit] USAA

Dear Movementarian:

Evidently, I have been "over-writing" and "re-over-writing" your work about the unincorporated reciprocal inter-insurance exchange [URIE] United Services Automobile Association [USAA].

Most of the over-writes were editing changes: but that is of course not the issue. And I regret the appearance.

Discussion:

First, I am a signed writer: so what I write is a matter of record. Second: I am told by lunkwill.org that I am "to discuss this situation", and work it out with . . . you? Is that correct? OK: first. what was written about USAA (and still appears on the lead-off page) is fundamentally incorrect: and simply regurgitates what the attorney in fact [AIF] for USAA wants the world to believe. So let's start with URIE vs "mutual": "mutual" insurance companies are expressly licensed and provided for under the Texas Insurance Code. USAA is a URIE, not a mutual. There is absolutely no similarity between the two except that mutual contains a notion of "policyholder ownership". If you read Reimuth on URIEs, you will see that there is nothing about "policyholder owmership" intrinsic to a URIE. Period! In a URIE, each "policyholder A" agrees to indemnify every other subscriber: and all the subscribers have agreed to indeminify "policyholder A". That's all there is to it: each subscriber is on the hook to all the other subscribers. The AIF is the stakeholder who holds the money: as a trustee of those funds, he may not invade those funds. If he was/hase been/is invaded those funds, then the AIF is a criminal. The AIFs at URIE USAA have 2.2 million members believing they "own" the URIE. I have a pleading made by USAA's lawyers in True v USAA which will disabuse you of that notion, toute de suite - mach schnell (or whatever): please give me your e-mail address. The "members "own nothing. USAA is not even an association! USAA is a URIE which has now admitted converting $5 billion of money belonging to the subscribers: in two separate books. Please let me loan you my private scanned searchable versions of those books. Now, maybe I'm wrong: maybe I'm right. But what is true is that what I believe has been arrived at after years of careful considered study. And I am prepared to defend my beliefs and conclusions in any forum. But it is also sadly true that USAA has arrest warrants out to stop me from writing on the question of USAA's intrinsic structure and the behavior of the AIF's. Robert G. Davis behaves like somebody who has been interrupted in the final stages of a "theft".

Sorry - but that is they way it look to me.

I have rewritten the article about a leader of a coup in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2004. I would be grateful if you could have a look. Capitalistroadster 09:34, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I had no idea that was real English. Camerafiend 15:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Good ol' Bob

Sorry, I don't seem to have the same amount of restraint as you do when it comes to our good friend Bob. I seem to really have gotten him on his soapbox. Oh well.... Glad I read your page though. Always good to come across another Irishman from the East Coast. Regards, Murph --Looper5920 08:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AFD

Didn't mean to step on your toes, I reacted too quickly to the AFD being removed. Thanks for cleaning up William Malone Triona 06:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] L. L. Nunn

The rewrite looks fine, but can you add a few sources, so it doesn't end up being deleted for lack of verifiability later on? - Mgm|(talk) 13:21, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "The Ginger Fashions"

Nice catch on the speedy criteria for The Ginger Fashions. I really like what you said at User talk:F.E.a.R. Bravo! I took a quick review of your contributions to Wikipedia. Keep it up, and I am sure you will become an admin sometime this spring if you're up for it. I've put you on my admin potential watchlist. Sorry you're stuck on an island and hating it :) --Durin 19:25, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Whoops! To many such templates these days to keep track of. Regardless, your intent was spot on. Good show! --Durin 20:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] userbox proposed policy

Hi - there have been some slight alterations to my proposal subsequent to your support. I would be greatful if you could re-read the proposition and re-sign your name below the line if you still agree. Thanks, Deano (Talk) 20:17, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bob

Sorry about the delay on the Bob 'RfC'. I signed my name. I hope I signed in the right spot. If you need anything else let me know.--Looper5920 20:31, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fauna of Maine

I took a stab at rewriting a decent stub for the article. Take a look and see if you think it is worth keeping around. Cheers. Youngamerican 18:17, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beer cats & kittens

It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson and supported by User:Syrthiss that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. This proposal has been supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

Glad to see you back amongst the living, Mr. Movementarian! Kuru talk 00:19, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RFA

No problem. However, the "5-6 months" suggested is an overstatement. If you want my advice, you should withdraw this RFA tomorrow, wait a month or so to show us you're serious about being back, and renominate (or get someone to do it for you). I'd estimate you'd have a good chance then. (Radiant) 14:50, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Per your withdrawal of your own nomination, I have closed it out and delinked your application from the main RFA page. I agree with Radiant that 5-6 months would be overkill, a few months of solid editing should be sufficient next time. If I have erred in any way, please let me know. -- nae'blis 21:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] delete of links on usaa entry...

I removed them because they were dead ends. I didn't realize that you were trying to inspire people. I had links that were dead ends and people came along and removed them. Now you come along and ask me why I removed the dead links. I thought it was a wiki thing...

Frankly, I think it is crass to put links to competitors (on any page about a company not just USAA). Is this entry about the target company (in this case USAA) or another company? Also, just becuase two companies sell the same thing (in this case insurance) doesn't make them competitors. For example AAA and USAA both sell insurance but don't target the same customers. I think that if people want to have a source of companies in and industry they should create an "industry page" with all the companies, large or small, suppliers, partners, and links galore...

So, what do you think?

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:BPDPatch.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:BPDPatch.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
