Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Yanksox 02:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Qtoktok 02:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 13:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

You continue to edit without edit summaries. Please begin using them now, as it makes your edits look suspect as vandalism. Kukini 13:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Al Utaybi's birthday

Someone posting from this userid added a birthday to the article on Al Utaybi, one of the men who committed suicide in Guantanamo. I'd like to know their source for that birthdate -- Geo Swan 16:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] People speculated to have been autistic

I noticed that you added John Madden (football) to people speculated to have been autistic. Thank you for your contribution. However, in order to keep the entry in the list, we need a reference that specifies who has speculated John Madden to be on the autistic spectrum. Q0 18:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homosexuality and American Idol

If you want a reference to the "controversy", it's best if you find a reliable reference to go with the assertion, and even better if you find references on both sides, so that the issue can be displayed on both sides. -- ArglebargleIV 01:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Further Issues

  1. Target Corporation : Target does NOT own the Twins or the T-Wolves -- 5 seconds of Googling quickly shows that the owner are Carl Pohlad for the Twins and Glen Taylor for the T-Wolves.
  2. Ryan Seacrest : Teri Hatcher did not announce that Ryan Seacrest was gay. Joking and hinting, yes, but certainly not an announcement.

Simple searches would have given you the information on these and other issues. -- ArglebargleIV 07:02, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

  1. It's true to the both of them. You made those shitty facts up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.88.253.128 (talk • contribs)
  • Twins owned by Carl Pohlad : List of the Twins' owners from their website. He made his money off of Wells Fargo Bank.
  • T-Wolves owned by Glen Taylor : Timberwolves front office on their website. Made his money off of his Taylor Corporation (printing and electronics).
  • Seacrest and Hatcher : I watched that episode of Letterman -- didn't happen. She indirectly joked about it in response to one of Letterman's jokes, but she did not 'announce' it. Find a (non-gossip-column) reference that she announced it, and you'll be right to refer to it in the Seacrest article. Separate question : is Ryan Seacrest gay? I personally think that he probably is, but my personal opinion isn't any more valid for an encyclopedia than yours is. References, it's all in the references.

[edit] Al-Utaybi's date of birth?

Someone using this IP address added a date of birth to Mani Al-Utaybi. I would like to know where they got this date. -- Geo Swan 22:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
