| I noticed you took the photo for the resort. I was wondering if you'd be interested in rewriting the article? I stumbled across it today and it's a rather nauseating puff piece. I googled the user name "Blenihan" (the person who added all the crap) and quickly came up with results for "Brendan Lenihan," aka the director of operations for the resort. As you know, this is clearly against Misplaced Pages's policies. I think it's a notable enough place, though, so I was wondering if you'd look into making it read less like a brochure pamphlet and more like an encyclopedia article. I can ask Mr. Lenihan's assistance as well and get him to comply with our policies...but I don't know if he'd really care about doing that. Let me know what you think. ] ] 02:36, 27 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :Yeah, I had to stifle a laugh as I was reading it. The section about the 30 awards and what flowers are on the golf course were my favorite parts.

| Hi. I think there is a needs for additional clauses in WP:ATH that specifically apply to American college sports.

It is equally clear that blanket criteria are not going to mesh well between U.S. sports and others (association football, for instance). There is a lot of ambiguity with WP:ATH the way things stand.

| I noticed you have a USC connection, so I couldn't help wondering if you were aware of a very similar attack which took place in So. Calif. about 1-2 years ago, where the victim's face was also ripped off (as well as fingers and genitals).

| ==Claim of OR in ]== | |||
| Three pages in the Culhane book are devoted to the special effect editing and photography which validates the original statement. The book details the landmark special effects and "movie magic" and specifically refers to the 1941 (film) as an example of Sfx at its best. You may have been confused over the use of a quote as the source of the statement that was in question. The quote was put in for an entirely different reason as there was some contention in talk and edit comments that the film was not carefully produced and although it was not a well-received product, it was a good example of production values especially in harnessing small-scale miniatures and composite photography. That led to the note being added to the citation. FWiW, unless you have noted something other in the reference source, I will be removing your tag. ] (]) 22:35, 10 April 2009 (UTC). | |||

| == Proof (rapper) article == | |||
| Since you decided to impose your own personal POV on this article by protecting the page after clearly removing a minor edit meant to make the article more in line with NPOV (after your own statement that the line of text that was removed there was to make a "character statement" about Proof, which obviously shows you have a personal bias when it comes to this article) I will be taking this matter up with other Misplaced Pages administrators. Regardless of your own feelings about Proof, your attempt to keep the article about his life from being balanced is rather disheartening and a sad statement on misuse of power on this website. ] (]) 10:18, 21 May 2009 (UTC) | |||

| ::It is unfortunate to see that, for the second time, you have made an unfounded conclusion about me with little to no evidence to support it. I am in no way trying to "tone down" the events surrounding his death. The issue at hand is that you are placing content into an article which serves to politicize it for no other reason than, based on your edits, the fact that you seem to have some personal issue with Proof. No one is denying that the man was a murderer, despite your claims to the otherwise, the problem is that there is no room for such bias on Misplaced Pages which I would assume that you, as an administrator, would already know. The only problematic editor I seem to see for that particular page is you. ] (]) 09:24, 25 May 2009 (UTC) | |||

I assume you will, now, provide links to the articles you have edited regarding every single murder victim who, at one time or another, served in the United States military or that of any other country in order to show their connections to the military. Right? Because, unless of course you have edited the Wiki of every single person who was killed in a notable enough way to be mentioned in Misplaced Pages who served in ANY military, your bias is clearly showing. ] (]) 09:06, 26 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
