User talk:GRANDEXTRAV

GRANDEXTRAV, you have twice inserted the unsupported statement, "He is also known as a symbol of Bigotry" into the article about former NC Senator Jesse Helms. Such name-calling violates of Wikipedia's Biographies_of_living_persons policy. I removed it this time; someone else removed it the previous time. Please do not persist.

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 (talk) 19:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello GRANDEXTRAV! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 52 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
