Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
- Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.
The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome! —Kf4bdy talk contribs
Hi there. I notice you've been working on this page, and thought I'd mention that there's discussion on the talk page regarding a rewrite that I've done to try and remove a bunch of potential POV problems. You may want to take a look at the discussion and the rewrite, which I'm planning to bring in in the next few days, as conversation seems to have dropped off about it. Thanks!

Pat Dollard, "Controversy over Vanity Fair Article"
[edit]Another editor has removed the "Controversy over Vanity Fair Article" section from Pat Dollard. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pat_Dollard&curid=7214562&diff=132487606&oldid=131716663 --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 18:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
"Issue with changing Ramona Moore to Romona Moore"
[edit]You changed the spelling of the entry for "Ramona Moore" to "Romona Moore" and moved the page, but this is the incorrect spelling for her name! I moved her page back to "Ramona Moore". If you're not sure, please research her name using the links that I provided in the reference section or use else Google! She was a Hunter College student murdered in 2003 and I know I'm correct on the spelling of her name.--MurderWatcher1 19:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
This is known as sockpuppetry, please don't do it. Also, do not add that back, Wikipedia is not in the business of violating people's privacy. John Reaves 20:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's a relevant fact. There is no assumed right to privacy. There is a connection here to a noteworthy figure. Wikipedia violates peoples' privacy all the time when a proper source exists - as in this case. This information belongs in the article, though that does not mean that it will remain. 'Wikeality' [[1]] normally prevails, not necessarily the full truth. And so it goes. 72.92.4.157 (talk) 14:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't care and I don't plan to change it/add her name back. And there is no sockpuppet here - I am formerly Kek - big shock there, right Einstien? This talk page is not mine. 72.92.4.157 (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- By assuming sockpuppetry, you assume that there is only one editor who believes the woman's name properly belongs in the Scarborough article. If you just look over the history of the article - this is clearly not the case. 72.92.4.157 (talk) 14:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
This is an unhelpful edit summary and may be interpreted as vandalism. --DHeyward (talk) 08:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- My edit was actually to the revision of 19:52, 18 May 2008, where the word "aides" had been spelled "aidesm". Not sure why there's an intermediate edit. Also not sure why you would assume malice. --Kayobee (talk) 19:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- The log doesn't support a "removed typo" edit summary and it is unhelpful to have edit summaries that don't match the edit. Please be careful if you didn't intend to revert another editor which is effectively what you did. Where did you read malice?--DHeyward (talk) 05:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please re-check the log. There is one entry between mine and the typo I refer to. It seems likely I was interrupted and only returned to save the edit after an intervening edit had been made: thus the inaccurate change summary. "Vandalism" generally implies malice. --Kayobee (talk) 07:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- The name of the aide aside, the fact that Scarborough is pro-life and that the Griffin case was a capital murder case - these 2 facts had been in the article for a long time without any objection. Why are these 2 facts now removed? Are we moving toward a "Wikiality" version of Scarborough's life. DHeyward has been on a crusade to make this article as friendly to Joe Scarborough as possible for quite some time - regardless of sources, consensus and facts? One must wonder, just what is Mr. Heyward's connection with Scarborough and/or the right wing? It's rather curious, and at the same time obvious. 72.92.4.157 (talk) 11:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Quotation marks
[edit]I agreed with most of your edits to Democratic Underground. You should note, however, that Wikipedia uses "logical" style for quotation marks. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Quotation marks. I've reverted your edits that didn't conform. JamesMLane t c 07:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for the heads up.--Kayobee (talk) 19:15, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Can you help?
[edit]I see you were listed as a participant in the League of Copy-Editors so it seems likely you can ... The thing is the Military history wikiproject urgently needs prose pros to help with our best articles. Milhist covers a broad range of interesting and varied subjects from film to biography, battles to weaponry, and Roman emperors to twentieth-century dictators. In Milhist, A-Class has become the last port of call before FAC and we are looking for people to help identify prose and MoS issues at A-Class A-Class Reviews and help fix them prior to featured article candidacy. We also have a copy-editing section in our Logistics Dept and that can always use experienced copy-editors. For most of our articles, you don't need to be a specialist in the subject matter, just good with words.
If you think you can help, please do! Thanks for your time, --ROGER DAVIES talk 04:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
