I suggest you evaluate the "sources" you included with these edits against the guidelines for reliable sources to see why they fail miserably. Pairadox (talk) 06:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright, geez, I apologize; I'll find better sources next time. It's not as though I made up that Fred Phelps was planning this, it's included in a dozen articles on Google news, including FOXNEWS (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,324966,00.html) ... but you are right - E! Online is probably not a great source and I should have checked the discussion page first to see other peoples opinions on whether or not it should be discussed within the main article. I thought it was fairly fresh news and didn't realize there would be a discussion about it so fast. I don't think there was a need to be so rude about it in your message on my talk page. You could try being civil when you post on peoples talk pages, couldn't you?

Thank you, however, for alerting me to the sources, I now know for the future. --Theguywiththeinfo (talk) 06:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

The E Online source didn't even include the Phelps info in their report (it was in a reader comment), and the first "source" is a blog or something that even mentions the possiblity of a viral campaign to get this info out. I see no reason to feed the trolls. Pairadox (talk) 06:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
