Hi! I deleted your entry at Stompin' Tom Connors. Wikipedia can't tolerate copyright violations, even when you give the original source credit. If you want to write an original article, please do so. -- Zoe

I understand that you feel Myers-Briggs Type Indicators are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but please do not add personality types to biography article headers (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style). I noticed that you did it in the case of Linus Torvalds, if you did it in other cases, please clean it up. If you want to keep them in, do the following:
- Get a reference for each type classification -- who has classified this person and where was this classification published?
- Move the classification - with that reference - to a "Personality" section at the bottom or something similar. "XY has classified AB as foo in the Myers-Briggs personality type classification scheme based on ..."
I'd prefer to have this limited to the respective articles, though (e.g. ISTP), but also with references. --Eloquence
Your recent article on The Turbans was seriously in error and several of the other articles you put in today are extremely short and non-encyclopedic. Perhaps you need to do a little more research before committing to writing an article and also read up on the idea of NPOV, the neutral point of view. Ortolan88
I just removed your content for Linux zealot. It did not explain what a linux zealot is, even remotely. matt 06:25 Feb 5, 2003 (UTC)
You need to understand that this is a serious endevour to produce an encyclopedia. I have had to alter or delete several of your entries. --rmhermen
- Yes I agree. --mav
- that's ok I like doing stubs sometimes they get through sometimes they don't. At least some people fix them up. I'd rather throw something in there and let someone else do the cleanup —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pagingmrherman (talk • contribs) 2003-05-06 04:58:06 (UTC)
- Clean-up is a lot of work. Most people would rather work on their own entries than clean up other people's messes. --mav
- ya but there are a *few* people that prefer to clean up rather than start anything new. Some of the largest trees can grow from a pile of shit!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pagingmrherman (talk • contribs) 2003-05-06 05:04:04 (UTC)
- Please, In this case if you want trees it's better to plant seeds than spread shit. Perhaps a better metaphor is that much of what you've planeted has been noxious weeds, and you're imposing on others to check what you planted in any given place. Please don't put in random guesses or stuff you just make up. Usefull link: http://www.google.com Spend a little time looking something up, and you can probably find some good information to start or add to an article.
