User talk:Ihatecheats

Hi -- I found your message to me (though you misspelled my name, so it didn't reach me directly). I am removing your mentions of Asmae Leghzaoui from the Freihofer's Run for Women article, because the information you wish to show is already in her article. The article about the run is not an article about Asmae Leghzaoui, so it is irrelevant to place her drug test transgressions in there. It appears, based on your user name, that your only reason to create the Freihofer's Run article was to point a finger of blame at a single runner, which comes across to me as if you are pursuing a vendetta against her. Wikipedia is not the place for such activity.--Ken Gallager 13:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ken, Thanks for the reply. I don't agree with your statement that I am pointing a finger of blame at Leghzaoui, sadly she's not the only cheat. She just happens to be one running Freihofers, thus deserves a mention.

You deleting my article which states that certain elites boycotted the event is a fact I didn't make it up. I've even included a link to an article.

If Freihofers are bothered by this negative attention then don't invite her, don't have a picture of her on the frontpage of the elite bios but don't delete the article, do't erase history.

If I were to write an article about Germany at some point I would have to mention Hitler. Germans may want to distance themselves from him but he's part of their history much as the boycott was of Freihofers in 2005.

I look forward to your reply,

IHC

PS how did you send the message to me?

Hello. Please check the article now. Your most recent version focused more on the race and less on a single runner, so I continued in that direction. You might want to improve on my wording of "illegal substance", since I wasn't able to interpret what the Cool Runnings article meant by "EPO use". Thanks for the dialogue. --Ken Gallager 12:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, the only reason I came across this article is because I was trying to clean up articles that pointed to a generic Albany rather than a specific one. My original intention was simply to make sure it points to Albany, New York instead. So please make sure that gets preserved. Thanks. --Ken Gallager 12:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
