[edit] Heads Up

Your "spelling mistakes" are being monitored. [1]

And apparently, some comments of yours that you previously deleted, are being restored on to Discussion pages for some unknown reason. [2] 165.247.202.245 21:33, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] TDC, Winter soldier etc.

TDC is being completely ridiculous on Criticism of the Winter Soldier Investigation, you are certainly right for removing his changes. Ruy Lopez 22:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Swiftboating

The alternate definition on "swiftboating" that we negotiated is now coming under attack. I have reverted twice today, and am about to run up against 3RR. Just thought you should be aware. Crockspot 15:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't know how the reversion rules work, but maybe this should be hashed out on the talk page. --EECEE 06:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Swift Vets and POWs for Truth

Thanks for your recent edit at Swift Vets and POWs for Truth. It was an improvement over my version and I agree with your edit summary. Crust 14:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Edits

You recently made several edits at Vietnam Veterans Against the War including this one. This edit appears to have messed with the formatting of the article, causing the last third of the article to disappear. You may wish to reapply that edit. Xenophrenic 08:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow, no idea how that happened. Thanks for catching that, and fixing it. --EECEE 18:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American Patrol?

Self published if I ever saw one. You know better than that. Try to find a transcript from the original publisher, shouldn't be that hard. - Crockspot 21:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Why Crock, are you following me around?! Very well, I found the original CSPAN transcript and will use that.
By the way, a page that consists entirely of a CSPAN transcript is most definitely NOT a self-published source under the Wiki guidelines. [3] --EECEE 00:02, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Please assume good faith. Your edits happened to pop up on my watchlist, as I have the Malkin article watchlisted. The AmericanPatrol website is most certainly a "self-published" source, in the sense that it is a website that is published by some guy, and has no editorial oversight or fact checking process. (IE, a blog). The CSPAN transcript direct from CSPAN is fine, but nothing from AmericanPatrol should ever cited as a reliable source, whether or not it is a transcript from an otherwise reliable source. That website is not itself reliable. - Crockspot 21:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Crock, I was just teasin' ya. I did see that you were a regular over at that article, so sorry I yanked your chain before looking. I disagree about the definition of a "self-published" source,as I think it goes to the content itself, but I did find and link to the original source. --EECEE 07:14, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Now that I've had a chance to look at it again, it appears to be original research. The transcript is being used as a primary source to contradict or show hypocrisy in her stance. This violates WP:SYNTH. - Crockspot 18:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
I'll take this to the talk page. --EECEE 04:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citing sources

Thanks for your continued work at the Swift Boat article. Please consider using <ref> </ref> tags and the cite templates ({{cite web}}, {{cite book}}, etc.) when adding sources. Thanks! /Blaxthos 17:32, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for all your work. Yes, I'm trying to figure out the newfangled (to me) tags and templates as I go, will try to be more consistent. --EECEE 17:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
You can copy all of the templates off of my user page, already preformatted with ref tags. - Crockspot 21:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Will do. Thanks Crock. --EECEE 07:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Just letting you know that I quit smoking last saturday, after about 35 years of on and off smoking, so I'm in a less than ideal mood lately. I've already snapped a head or two off this week, and I should not even be taking on any new disputes right now, but this one is so clear to me, that I cannot let it go. So try not to take this personally, it's about the content for me. I haven't even analyzed the entire Malkin article, and I am sure there are going to be other problem areas, but I'm going to focus strictly on this one issue. I have to work, so I'll try to get a neutrally-worded RfC out in the next 24 hours. - Crockspot 13:10, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the disclaimer, Crock. I know you're usually a pretty civilized guy, so I won't take it personally. And congrats on quitting ! --EECEE 18:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
