[edit] Vandalism
Hi Uncle Fester. To revert vandalism, you just click on the 'history' tab at the top of the page, then look through the most recent edits to find the last non-vandalised version. Click on the 'edit this page' tab and save it as you would any other edit, giving your reasons in the edit summary. There are detailed instructions at WP:Revert. When you do this, it's a good idea to leave a message on the user's talk page - there are vandalism warning templates at WP:Vandalism, and also to check their user contributions in case they have vandalised other articles as well. Vandal fighting is one of the most relentless tasks at WP - thanks for helping :) Natgoo 21:06, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Service
Saw your userpage. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! Almost became a Marine myself. I'd been talking to a USMC recruiter in my senior year in high school. But, when I went down to his office, the USN office was right next door. Something drove me through that door instead. The USMC recruiter walked into the USN office while I was chatting with the USN recruiter. The USMC recruiter was not amused :)
Since you're currently there, I'd like to encourage you to add material to Wikipedia regarding Iraq. There are, I imagine, few Wikipedians in Iraq, especially fluent English speaking ones. Also, if you could take pictures of various things there and upload them to appropriate articles that would be fantastic! There's a tremendous amount of history in the land where you are now. I know from tales of other service men who I work with who've been over there that access could be problematic at best at times, but there's a great opportunity for Wikipedia with you over there.
All the best, --Durin 14:48, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Parker article
On 12/27/05 you added the following bit [1] about 12/24/05 police incident: the incident garnered press attention because of racist remarks the basketball star allegedly made about a police officer involved in the incident.
The linked Yahoo article [2] states: Longoria shouted from the car: "He's just a Mexican bike cop. He only wants your autograph." Longoria denied making the comment.
I cannot find any references in the press to any "racist remarks" made by Tony Parker himself. Do you have any source or should we correct the article?
Looks like it was corrected by someone else.
