[edit] Roskam

Could you please discuss the issue on the talk page rather than engaging in edit war? — goethean ॐ 16:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tim Walberg

  • Please don't remove tags without either sourcing the article better or discussing on the Talk Page.--Isotope23 12:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin Edward White

This was a non-notable biography as per the criteria set out in WP:BIO. (aeropagitica) 21:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bill Mitchell

User Tdl1060 has deleted information about Illinois State Bill Mitchell's August 29, 2003 DUI arrest. Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Mjv111 (talk • contribs)

In answer to your question, I removed the information on Bill Mitchell (politician) earlier because you had not cited sources. --Tdl1060 17:59, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TPM as a source

You were probably right to remove that, but IMO for the wrong reason (namely, that it was superfluous to the article ... the earlier effusion is all that matters, and it came direct from the source). Per this discussion, I tend to feel that TPM, which is run somewhat like a regular media outlet by a a notable individual whose work has been published elsewhere before his blogging, and which regularly cites its other sources, can be considered reliable.

[edit] Ramsey, Godsey, Davis, Mumpower

RE: Ron Ramsey, Steve Godsey, David Davis (Tennessee politician), Jason Mumpower >>>Your post at User talk:4.88.70.24"Could you please discuss the issue rather than engaging in edit war?--Tdl1060 18:00, 2 February 2007 (UTC)"

Tdl1060, seeing how this is your first post to Talk before repeatedly deleting revelant information pertaining to several politicians from Northeast Tennessee and their ties to prominent pharmaceutical businesses (e.g. King and Leitner Pharma, or SJ Strategic Investments) located within their own counties (i.e.: Sullivan County) and districts (1st U.S. House of Representatives District, Tennessee) , I would be glad to discuss the issue with someone from Illinois as you appear to be.

While your user page indicates that you take some pride in having "...over a ton of edits", I think that your hacking through the section "Political connection to Altace, pharmaceutical industry" the wikipages for Ron Ramsey et al is completely unwarrented. You might have noticed that these individuals are politicians and that the materials that you repeatedly removed from their individual pages provided the details of those stated specific connections to both Altace and the repsective pharma businesses.

And while you are suggesting that you cuts would be better suited at pharma pages, you neglected to make the good-faith editing step by seeing that the information and references that you had repeatedly deleted were actually posted to those pages that you suggested while making your edits.

I do not believe that your repeated edits at these pages can be attributed to any action other than vandalism.

<hl>

That's fine that the info is already on the articles on the pharmaceuticals but if the readers want to see more backround on them all the need to do is click on the links. Wikipedia can't have the backround of every issue or company exhaustively layed out on an article in which it may be mentioned, that's what internal links are for.--Tdl1060 19:02, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


And four paragraphs of material constitutes a "exhaustively layed out" issue background by Wiki standards? Prove it...4.129.65.207 19:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stay on the above clown who wants to link the entire history of King Pharma and Altace to anyone who has ever received a political contribution from them. Bet that he is the sort of guy who would just flip if anyone linked Kenneth Lay to Bill or Hillary Clinton, even though he spent the night in the Lincoln Bedroom while he/she/they were President. 68.53.110.123 22:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why the changes to the Jim Whitehead entry?

I am his son-in-law. The text of the bio came directly from Joel McElhannon, his campaign manager. It looks like you left out a lot of information. I'm trying to thumb through the differences. We would appreciate the original text and picture being put back the way it was. If there is some copyright violation we have invoked, please point it out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kepper (talk • contribs) 15:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Hmm.

So, in your world, is there only one John Gard? Or could you actually acknowledge that there is more than one, and leave up the disambiguation page? --Marmoset Marmalade 20:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stay off my talk page

Wondering why you keep threatening me with blocking.Your assertion that my edits are vandalism are POV.Are you even an agent of Wikipedia at any level?Your defense of the cristophile Musgrave is not my problem.Don't make it others either--Thatpeteguy 21:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DePauw v. DePaul

Why do you keep changing DePauw University which is the school in Greencastle, IN that Joe Vosicky attended back to DePaul. DePaul University is in Chicago, not Greencastle, Indiana, silly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.74.152.136 (talk) 03:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

Smith Watch is highly researched, with the articles sourced. Just like the other watchdog sites listed. The site is linked to by Dailykos, the UNO Democrats and the Nebraska Democratic party blogsite.

[edit] Bushy

I would like you to look again at Bushy and reconsider your vote. I have rewritten the article from scratch using reliable sources. Thanks! --Dhartung | Talk 09:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

Hey. On the Illinois 2008 Senate Election, some non-member added what I call "complete vandalism". I have looked up the lady he put down to be running against Durbin, and have not found a thing. The at the bottom, he put, " support this lady, against Dick Durbin". Is there any possible way he can be blocked?

[edit] Barbara Cubin

User Tdl1060 is deleting information regarding Barbara Cubin's political career - from what I can see, they are quotes properly sourced with regards to a relevant topic. Instead of editing and undoing edits please utilize the talk page.

reply: I left an edit summary explaining each of the edits, one of the texts I removed was still tagged as unsourced, the other was commentary from an obviosly biased source.--Tdl1060 17:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mike Erickson

Mike Erickson has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this person might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (people) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Notability of Renee Kosel

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Renee Kosel, by LyonsTwp,IL., another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Renee Kosel seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Renee Kosel, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Renee Kosel itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 20:02, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remove election categories on Rosemarie Panio

Hey, thanks for bringing that to my attention. The only reason I added the article was because I noticed that the '97 and '99 categories had two articles and had a 'please populate this category' tag. Is there anywhere I can find that specifically says what a category is for? I've had a few other editors mention I have been incorrectly tagging my articles so if there is some kind of resource other then the discussion tab, please let me know. Thanks! MrPrada 20:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Elections in the United States categories

OK, thanks. One other question--since the articles have a request to be populated, would this include articles with nested election results (for instance, New York gubernatorial elections‎), or do they have to be specific election articles? MrPrada 01:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oh really?

  • "...has used its company to smuggle cocaine into other countries. It has been known to help people become drug addicts.

[edit] Words to Avoid

I didn't know 'claim' was a word to avoid until someone pointed it out to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Words_to_avoid Jmegill 13:53, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for getting the Huckabee gas tax thing right. I knew that that information was wrong on there, but I couldn't change it because the wrong information had reliable sources and I would just get into an edit war. Jmegill 13:59, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ruth Johnson

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ruth Johnson, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page. Docg 22:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Harris

if saying the first district is not traditionally and geographically the first district, then you need to delete/cite a crapload of info on the first district entry, the delmarva peninsula, the eastern shore, etc....info that has stood ok on wikipedia for years.

[edit] Chris Peden

Hello Tdl1060. Thank you for cleaning up the McClintock article by removing the recent news from the article opening. I think that it should be included though.
