re: Dino DiMuro

Welcome to Wikipedia and congratulations on creating your first article. I've tried to give it a helping hand. A few suggestions for you:

Try to make it more continuous prose, and less one-sentence paragraphs.
I have formatted the quotations as display quotes, but they might be better if they were integrated with the text.
You should try to cite some reliable sources.
I recommend that you read Wikipedia:Notability (music), and make sure not only that the subject of this article meets these criteria, but also that the supporting facts are clearly asserted, preferably early in the article, for example in the lead paragraph.
I have added a few categories, which you will see at the bottom, but you can probably find some more appropriate sub-categories to add.
You may want to stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians for assistance with your article.

Thanks! references: that's why I have a link to 22,000 pages at Yahoo. I am not simply trynta imortalize some friend. This guy is as much a unique genius in his own weird way as I feel Frank Zappa was. For now I am making minor edits to make the "neutral point of view" even more so. Thanks for the suggestions! - Doug McComb Hunchentoot (talk) 03:14, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I'm afraid that links to search results don't really quality as a reference. They change from day-to-day and they're just not specific enough. I recommend that you identify a few key articles that are:

Written by independent third parties;
Primarily about the subject, rather than just mentioning him in passing; and
Are published by reputable sources with some expectation of fact-checking and editorial control.

Once you've done that, the simple thing is to just list them in a "References" section (perhaps using {{cite web}}), or you can take look at Wikipedia:Citing sources.

By the way, for more help using Wikipedia, you can post at the Help Desk, use the {{helpme}} template here, or you're welcome to just drop me a note. Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 03:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm much oblidged to you! peace, Hunchentoot (talk) 04:10, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. By the way, Wikipedia is by default in the UTC (aka GMT or Zulu) timezone all year round. You can change the timezone of reports (e.g. page history) in your preferences. Your question at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page will be archived in due course. Bovlb (talk) 16:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re: Larry Sinclair

I apologize for slamming the "article" back into place!

just for the record: I understand the expediency of deleting the subject, altogether. (though I wish that an article about Barack Obama could touch on the truth.)

just for the record: the talk page that was deleted 'was not' " a recreation of a previously posted article".

It was a beginning attempt in the direction of a Neutral Point of View.

I had been running around in circles, trying to request partial unprotection of the Subject, when a massive computer crash here, stopped me.

"If you do want a page that exists unprotected, please try and ask the protecting admin first before making a request here. This is also not the place to dispute a protection."

There's no link to a protecting admin. A search for a protecting admin yields nothing!!

"Check here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_page_protection#Current_requests_for_unprotection

no such request there, on that date.

the "request protection" part of the "request protection or un-protection" page says: add request to top of page. The "request un-protection" section indicates no easily do-able procedure.

So I had been contemplating editing the entire "request un-protection" section, to put request at top, rather than "edit section". That would be editing the last request.

 because:

It appears that editing the entire "request un-protection" section is what ALL requesters for un-protection must have done, in order to get such a request registered with the seemingly nonexistent "protecting administrator."

Don't worry, I'm not a crusade! regards, Hunchentoot (talk) 21:04, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

this was the attempt at "neutral point of view" though it was not yet entirely neutralized. I was premature in trying to request unprotection, and premature in over-reacting, to the entire Subject being blocked.

===Larry Sinclair=== took a lie detector test, which he failed, related to his allegation that in 1999, he sold Barack Obama crack cocaine, and had a gay relationship with him.

The initiator of this post "faked out" a lie detector test in 1986, by simple meditative mantra. That test did not register any emotional or physical response. The initiator believes that due to his age and current caffeine consumption levels, it would now be impossible for him to pass any such test. Hunchentoot (talk) 06:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Young was the choirmaster of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. He was allegedly a gay person. He was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds, in his apartment on December 25th, 2007.

In his blog, Larry Sinclair says he did not know who Donald Young was, until Young phoned Sinclair. That call took place before Sinclair sued Obama and his campaign, in Colorado State Court, for intimidation and harassment.

Despite some media coverage of the inside of that Church, discussion its Liberation theology, much coverage of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Otis Moss III (Ford Foundation beneficiary) and other parishioners, the media has forgotten that the Choirmaster, Donald Young, was found dead on Christmas day, 2007.

If a person wants to use crack cocaine, or is bi-sexual, that seems to be exclusively their business. If they want to become President of the U.S., and thus have exclusive access to the nuclear launch codes, the U.S. media might require more transparency of that person (and their campaign's) past actions.

There is a sharp contrast between Bill and Hillary Clinton's (apparently disingenuous) immediate defense of Bill Clinton, in 1992, when the Jennifer Flowers allegations surfaced, and the relative lack of response on the part of the Obama campaign.

Nancy Grace (CNN) and Greta van Susterand (FOX news) purport to deal with important crime stories. They might be more willing to call attention to Donald Young's story than MSNBC, CBS, etc., if they are reminded.

Bill Ayers is a past member of the Weathermen, who published a memoir and was subsequently interviewed on September 11th, 2001. He is a current protégé of Obama's. They were together in the Woods Fund, a Ford Foundation subsidiary. While in the Weathermen, Ayers says that he and his colleagues "declared war on monogamy". Ayers says he went thru a bi-sexual phase.

Obama appears to have Trilateral Commission / Council on Foreign Relations member Zbigniew Brzezinski handling his foreign policy. Obama appears to have Mia Brzezinski handling his public relations. John McCain, also of the Trilateral Commission, has Ian Brzezinski writing his speeches. Hunchentoot (talk) 21:12, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Dino in "Keyboard" magazine.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Dino in "Keyboard" magazine.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) 05:19, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
