User talk:Lawyer2bWelcome!Hello, Lawyer2b, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- MicahMN | μ 15:09, 22 September 2005 (UTC) Hi, I noticed your vote on there and saw some your edits and wanted to let you know a few things
Personally, from your animosity towards Liberalism, I don't understand how your brand of Libertarianism differs from Conservatism, since most Libertarian advocates I know outside of Wikipedia consider Libertarianism half Liberal and half Conservative, just like on the Nolan Test. However, that's a discussion for another time, because here on Wikipedia, you're a Wikipedian first regardless of whatever your political beliefs are. A good person to talk to on this would be MONGO; he's on the right and i'm on the left, but I think he's a far better Wikipedian than many on the left, and in the end that's all that counts. Here's the template, please feel free to contact my talk page with any more questions. Karmafist 06:25, 22 October 2005 (UTC) Welcome, Lawyer2b! I noticed that you placed a vote on Wikipedia:Miscellaneous deletion/User talk:Rex071404/Liberal Editors Cabal. Participation in the community is encouraged, of course, but your status as a brand new user means that your vote might not be counted. Please understand that this is a common practice on Wikipedia, and that it is necessary to prevent deliberate misuse of our voting systems. Straw polls on Wikipedia are meant to measure community consensus, and should not necessarily be taken as literal one-member one-vote voting. However, please do make further contributions to Wikipedia, and express your opinion on policy matters.
Wow!I must say, i'm really impressed at your edits after the letter there, they exemply WP:AGF. Good job, my friend! I just have this feeling that you're going to make a kickass Wikipedian, and i'm glad I wrote that letter there. I don't know if I'll hit on all the points of your response, but i'll try..
As for the hatred thing, i've seen it all to frequently on both sides, and it disgusted me, along with alot of other things, last year when I was a volunteer/paid canvasser during the presidential campaign and ran for state rep. Desperation and a feeling of disempowerment can cause that, trust me, i've seen the correlation during my time as a Red Sox fan. ;-) I wish someday that I could become a higher level politician and try to change that sense of polarization that we've got in this country right now, but my career is in the toilet and it's beginning to look like it's not feasible. Oh yeah, have you seen [Political Compass.com? It's basically a better version of that Nolan Test link you sent me(I always score around the edge of Libertarian and Liberal on those) Your vote counts !Here is another opportunity to vote on a topic that likely interests you: Talk:Stolen Honor#RfC re scope of this article Rex071404 216.153.214.94 17:58, 25 October 2005 (UTC) HelloRegarding User_talk:Sam_Spade/Theoretical_Biases#Buddy_List, we have Wikipedia:Trust network, but its not really in use. If you'd like to get in touch w me I'm very accessable, and glad to try to help or discuss or whatever. Incidentilly, I'm not a Libertarian, but I like them alot, and have voted libertarian more than once, w the idea that if nothing else, they arn't going to oppress me! Drop a note @ User talk:Sam Spade sometime, Cheers, Sam Spade 00:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC) You're a re-runJust so you know (FreePeopleAreHappyPeople (talk · contribs) + LegalBreifs (talk · contribs)) / (DavidsCrusader (talk · contribs))2 = (Lawyer2b (talk · contribs)), seriously, try the mime next time, or the wiki cowboy, far less over played choices--64.12.116.9 17:44, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Lawyer2b. With regard to you edit on the above article, is the "good percentage of that song" quotation taken from the website referenced immediately after it? I couldn't find the quote on that site and it sounds odd to me - wouldn't it me more likely to be something like "a good percentage of the earnings/royalties from that song"? Regards, CLW 17:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Right to WorkSorry for the delay, I added my two cents in there, mostly just some guidelines from things i've seen in the past. Let me know if I can help out more. karmafist 00:54, 26 December 2005 (UTC) Re: Right-to-WorkThanks for your interest in my view. I have to admit I was suprised, I guess I have gotten used to.. losing! (: I wrote about my opinion on Talk:Right-to-work. Re: Hi, fellow Anarchocapitalist who supports conservative ideas!Thanks for adding the AnarchCap userbox to my userpage. The only one I could locate was the one that said "This user is an Anarcho-capitalist pig-dog," which I felt was inappropriate. Where did you find the UN stinks one? And the legalize all drugs one? Oddly, my userpage is now protected, and I can't figure out how or why. Also, I'd appreciate your support at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Userboxes#Suggestion_for_Incorporation_into_Wikipedia_Rules_Regarding_Removal_of_Graphics_from_Userbox_Templates and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28policy%29#Suggestion_for_Incorporation_into_Wikipedia_Rules_Regarding_Removal_of_Graphics_from_Userbox_Templates. Thanks!
Hey there :)I just wanted to say that I loved your Anti-ACLU tag. Nice work! Robert Paveza 18:12, 3 January 2006 (UTC) TemplatesI undeleted them until the Deletion Review is over one way or another. Tony will basically destroy anything he doesn't like, regardless of what policy he has to ignore. It's Ironic, the ACLU would probably be the first people to protect the Anti-ACLU userbox. karmafist 06:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Thank You, My Friend I know it might sound corny, but if it weren't for a few things, yourself being one of them, I'd probably be dead after the last few weeks(It wasn't just Wikipedia). One day this country will be able to get past labels like "Liberal" or "Conservative" or whatever and just respect each other while trying to follow the most pragmatic path, but until then, thanks for letting me know that there's people out there who think i'm worth keeping around. Karmafist 03:46, 20 January 2006 (UTC) sure!Hi, thanks for your nice grace note! Sure of course you can use anything from my page, don't need to ask. Herostratus 05:34, 20 January 2006 (UTC) I still think of myself as a Wikipedia newbie, even though it is over 6 months since I joined. However, I have had some lapses of almost 2 months when I might only sign on once a week and just contribute a small amount to the RD, no time for anything else. I recognize that different people on Wikipedia have different sense of value for various aspects of support for community of people mutually helping learning curves at getting better at presenting information into the ultimate encyclopaedia, so that my effort to make my user page combine lots of info with a pleasingly good appearance, as not being good bang for WP buck, since I am so slow to learn how to apply that aquired know-how to encyclopaedia articles. Your user page impressed me because you had researched many places worth remembering the links. My watch page has growing volume of places I want to remember exist. I had been contemplating moving some of that to a secondary page off of my user space, like the archives, but it is easy to lose track of what we have for what purposes, even with WP links. Since I am still learning here, I feel honored that you have asked me to soup up your user page appearance. User:AlMac|(talk) 19:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC) Given your user signature here, you might find some interest in exploring links from this page. Also --TantalumT] told me about WikiProject Law andWikiProject International law, which may also be of interest to you, assuming you are involved in the law, and depending on your speciality there. User:AlMac|(talk) 19:33, 20 January 2006 (UTC) Notice the sysop of the Harvard Wiki appears to be the same User:Sj who started the Cyberlaw project. After I signed up to help it, and suggested some ideas on the talk pages, I said hello to the other folks who had signed up before me, and I was encouraged by Sj, in a way that I interpreted as an invitation to help out in a variety of ways. I hope I have not been a kiss of participation death, since I not seen anyone else from WP contributing after I joined. One thing I learned from The Harvard Wiki is it is easy to lose track of secondary pages that I might create, since WP not seem to come with an easy way to locate all of them again, unless I create and maintain links as I create them. For example, I might remember I created pages like these, but forget where I placed them.
etc. User:AlMac|(talk) 20:43, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for touching up my user page. User:AlMac|(talk) 20:57, 20 January 2006 (UTC) UserboxesOh go on! You know you want to! :) --Tony Sidaway|Talk 09:50, 25 January 2006 (UTC) The ACLU and the United NationsWhy do i not support the UN and ACLU? UN - I outright HATE the united nations becuase all they do is fart around and do nothing, while genocides happen (Rwanda, Kosovo, Liberia, Congo/Republique Democratique du Congo (Formerly Zaire). They let millions die while sitting on their tushies. Keep in mind: in 1949, NATO was created BECAUSE the UN was already too idiotic to get anything done. That was when the UN was just 4! The ACLU: it does nothing to defend other minorities, other than blacks and jews. Chinese, latinos, arabs/muslims, hindus, native americans, and so on, are hardly, IF EVER, defended by this organization. Other than those two reasons, i do support them. They just need a major overhaul. Raccoon Fox 21:33, 26 January 2006 (UTC) thank you for defeding the truth HiSorry, but I live in Jacksonville, which is on the northeast. --Revolución (talk) 22:14, 29 January 2006 (UTC) Liberal POV?From your user page: I look at this picture and forget all about the liberal POV on wikipedia. (sigh) Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. :-) If you think Wikipedia has a liberal "POV" it might just be because as a whole the world is a lot more "liberal" than the narrow spectrum you see in America. Regardless, I don't think this polemical statement is appropriate at it can only lead to unpleasantness. --Cyde Weys 16:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Currently, the same anonymous vandal is intent on adding advertising links, POV and deleting any links to anything less than a Levin fan site, and then ranting about it ad nauseam on the Talk Page. It might be helpful if you stopped by the Talk Page to give your thoughts. Take care. Eleemosynary 18:49, 12 February 2006 (UTC) The Seven WordsThanks for the corrections! --Analogdemon (talk) 02:40, 15 February 2006 (UTC) Thanks, My FriendI'm sorry I lost that e-mail -- I had a few more of those moments, but hell, I got through them. I just have to remember that the only person that can beat me is me. Oh, and I thought you'd get a kick out of this[1]If somebody can't make fun of themselves, they need to lighten up and drink a few beers, or for that matter, join a political party sponsored by beer ;-) Karmafist 04:16, 15 February 2006 (UTC) Reinstating Template:User CCWHi. I believe you deleted Template:User CCW which stated "This user carries a concealed weapon in their home state, and is licensed to do so." When you deleted it, your edit summary said it was divisive. I would like to ask you reinstate it and reconsider its deletion as I do not feel it is "divisive" in the sense that is being used to justify deletion of many POV userboxes. Template:User CCW doesn't express a point of view -- it simply tells something about the user, namely that they are licensed to carry a concealed weapon and do so on a regular basis. Thank you. Lawyer2b 01:26, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Clarence Thomas pageHi. If you get a second, would you mind stopping by the Clarence Thomas Talk page? I'm in a dispute with a user over whether the fact that Thomas performed, at his home, Rush Limbaugh's third wedding should be mentioned in the article. I think it should. The other user does not. I'd appreciate your input. Thanks. Eleemosynary 02:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC) cool picAwesome pic on your main page. imho, you should change your user box to say that you disagree with MOST of marx's ideas. For example, he said that "Machinery is knowledge objectified." or even the vast majority. TitaniumDreads 05:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

2006 custodial workers' strikeJust wanted to let you know that your decision to create a separate page for this topic makes sense, especially if it's an issue that's going to be around for a while, as looks likely. Good move. MiamiDolphins3 00:35, 26 April 2006 (UTC) I second this opinion. Excellent decision. 69.180.103.161 14:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC) Comment from User:24.163.205.147Hey Lawyer2b. Why don't call Brit Hume up and just ask him about it? How many sources do you want. I mean Christ dude you even looked up the ABC news report yourself. Why don't you call that service and ask them for a copy of Brit's report? It's not my fault that you don't understand the relavance of the story. To repeatedly delete it is exactly what the entry is about. You are a judge and jury who thinks you have some obligation to protect people from reality. Just like Brit Hume thought he had an obligation to keep quiet about illegal weapon sales to China. Call Wolf Blitzer, Bill Plante and Wendall Goler. ask them if it is true. Oh I guess it is easier to just delete someone's entry and give a lame excuse on the talk page? You act like you are God's gift to Brit's wikipedia page. If you had actually researched Brit you would have come across the Ouellette issue and started wondering for yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by xxx (talk • contribs) SorrySorry I wrote Ann Coulter is a stupid whore, but I: just can't stand that she really wants women to give up the right to vote to allow Republicans to get relelected. I understand it wasn't write to write that there. Response to Iraq war dilemmaThank you for your respectable comments and statements. There is one thing however that bothers me, why do we finance the terrorists we fight? It would seem logical not to support a terrorist organization that we are trying to battle and potential resolve. It seems American business interests are more of a concern than that of the safety of U.S. citizens or people of other nations. There is much evidence, and you will find on the link I posted in my article in the Iraq war discussion, to support the idea of war-profiteering, grafting, money laundering, and finacial fraud and manipulation in the U.S. It is astonishing to know that even the bin Laden family's interests have stocks in the NYSE that we support readily and wholly. Not to mention Afghanistan has not been denounced as a terrorist supporting nation by the U.S. yet Iraq seems to have fallen under that category. Why aren't we over in Pakistan, the largest terrorist supporting nation in the world, except America. Here is a brief layout of some weird facts: -The U.S. funded the Taliban and supplied them with weapons, the CIA even trained them for combat. -Osama bin Laden and much of his family are very wealthy and powerful thanks to the NYSE and the CIA. -Hussein was provided with bio-weapons from the U.S. during the Iraq-Iran war. -Hussein was put into power by the U.S., today he is in U.S. captivity. -The Bush family and the bin Laden family are close friends and are part of the same business assets. -A couple of bin Laden family members actually have residence in the U.S. (e.g. Omar bin Laden), ironically he lives right next to the CIA edifice.--Existential Thinker 02:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC) ThanksI really appreciate the support.

Mrdthree 05:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC) ThanksHey, thanks for the compliment, I hope those changes stay permanent, but with the Wikibias around here... anyway, in case you haven't seen the Talk:Laura Ingraham page lately, I think you were right about those sources, so I re-added them. However, I ended up changing some of them to links to the videos of the criticism, so they'd be primary sources instead of secondary. Let me know what you think on the talk page.

OMG Wikistalker!!!...just kidding! ^_~ But seriously, did you read my LJ or something? I didn't think I'd mentioned my state of residence on Wikipedia. In any case, I live in Bradenton, which is sort of like the poor younger sibling of Sarasota that nobody loves. Alberto just took a soggy swipe at us but he turned out to be all wet. :P Kasreyn 22:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC) Yeah, Tropicana is in Bradenton... at night in the summer you can smell the orange groves and the plant, which has kind of a more chemically tangy orange smell. They've recently laid off a lot of workers though, which hurt the town some.

I'm of the opinion that this sort of behavior violates the spirit, if not the letter, of WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL. And here you and I had such a harmonious bipartisan atmosphere going! Kasreyn 23:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you identify as a conservative Wikipedian. So I would like to invite you to post any conservative issues you might have over at the new project page, Wikipedia:Conservative_notice_board.

I amen everything you said about Bill Moyers-- he is a truly self-righteous, dishonest (politically and religiously) and wholly left-wing biased commentator. Nonetheless, to say he is the "godfather of negative political ads" is stretching things considerably. On television, he may be just that for all I know. But negative ads in the arena of politics are as old as politics itself. Good job being fair & balanced. -- Gerkinstock 02:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC) WP:WOTYou may or may not want to comment on this[2].

Another front is nice, but I can't see how it could possibly be morally justified to invade a country for this expressed purpose.

Anarcho-capitalism is currently under featured article review. Any help in maintaining featured status would be appreciated. -- Vision Thing -- 21:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC) Perpetual motionHi, I'm the guy who removed perpetual motion from the list of holy grails. I saw it on the list before and left it there, but when someone edited the ist to include interdimensional travel, I had to draw the line. I removed interdimensional travel, because it's much more SF than science, and decied, while I was at it, to remove perpetual motion. If you think that perpetual motion belongs on the list (that is, it's attainable, or might be, in some useful sense) then I'd be happy to add it back on. As it is, I'm not going to get into an edit war over this, so if you think it belongs there just add a comment on the talk page and add it to the list. It's not crazy like intrdimensional travel, but it's also not in the same category as room-temperature superconductors. Further, I'm not a physicist. If you have specialist knowledge of the field I'm willing to let it stand. However, in any case you'd do well to put a note on the talk page so someone else like me doesn't delete it. I have nothing against the perpetual motion article, I just didn't think it belonged on that list. Perhaps it does. In any case, have a nice day!

I have had my hand at it and have kept the rationale provided, moved it up to the methodology section, and tried to make neutral the criticism. (In making the criticism neutral, I have changed instances that seemed to overrepresent one side of the debate- many I changed to some, for example- and tried to eliminate all judgement or commentary in the article to make it conform to Wikipedia's NPOV policy.)

Lawyer2b, what would you think about filing a Request for Comment about NBGPWS's behavior? Given that he's now reverting typo corrections because the summary wasn't used, I think he's out of control and has gone too far. --Neverborn 04:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
NBGPWS has gotten himself re-blocked for 48 hours for 3RR. Think the time is right for an RfC? How did you do on your LSAT?

I took my first cold timed LSAT w/o practice and got a 168. =) --Neverborn 06:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC) I think the time is always right for an RfC on User:NBGPWS. LOL Re the LSAT, Holy Macaroni! That's a great score! I took the June '06 and got a 166. Make sure you practice and you'll do even better! And don't forget about the writing sample. :-) Lawyer2b 06:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC) I was originally planning on taking one of those 1600 dollar LSAT courses to prepare, but I may end up just self-preparing.

Ann CoulterDo NOT, go editing a page at whim because you do not like what something says. This is not POV. This is documented. You can look up the newspaper columns yourself. If you find something is wrong, please feel free to let us know, but do not just go deleting information. You also broke the three-edit rule. Failure to comply with the rules will result in being locked from editing. Stewiegfan 08:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Your userpageI think I might have a suggestion for you as regards to your userpage. It seems your reason for keeping the about me section off the front is so that you can get to it quickly, which is fair enough. However, are you aware that you can add a link to a rough page like yours to your top bar (wherein lies talk, prefs and watchlist etc.)? If you'd like to do this, let me know and I'll help you to sort it out. Otherwise, whatever - it's your userpage :) —Xyrael / 16:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

--->Note: since I don't know you, you shouldn't take this personally. Unfortunately, you decided to insult me, tho' I don't understand why. Here's the post I just put up on the Miller Discussion page: Perhaps you are unaware of the policy against personal attacks? I suggest that you acquaint yourself with it. It would be unfortunate if I had to make a complaint about your insults. So keep attacks like "childish" to yourself. Or explain how they "foster consensus" or other PC. The policy about personal attacks isn't the only one you should make yourself familiar with. The guiding principle is "merciless editing" and not weasely PC dreck like "consensus". (Just to make it clear, my scorn is for the concept of political correctness and not your bad self.) Finally, where do you get off telling me to "simmer" down? I don't remember any vote that appointed you wiki-nanny?
Now, to what you just posted on my page:
Show me where "merciless editing" violates wikipolicy? If you object to editing artciles, whether a minor or a major one, I don't really know what to tell you. The "3revert" rule was put in place to cut down on chaos and edit wars. Though, frankly, I don't have a problem with a good edit war, personally. (An important, if not directly on point, er, point...) Wikipedia is not for the timorous. It's pretty rough and tumble. It's also overwhelming anti-conservative, for an almost endless amount of proof of this I suggest your check out user Morton devonshire page. He's compiled so many examples of Left-Liberal-Leninist POV, propaganda and straight out lies it's breathtaking. PainMan 05:32, 9 September 2006 (UTC) I'm sorry if it offended you Apology is not necessary, tho' I find it interesting you feel one is needed (and, yes, I've been told I should go to law school myself). I prefer people not to repeat the behavior (one of the results of being a parent). Basically it breaks down like this: if you use words to describe someone as "childish" and tell them to "simmer down" how else would expect them to take it? I was piqued but not angry. If I'm angry, you won't need to ask. ;o) I'm not looking to make an enemy here, I've had a number of people attack with undisguised hostility (esp. for daring to "desecrate" their page; you want to see some geeks go ballistic, alter just a sentence on the Rush article!). People sometimes mistake my laconic tone for having been offended. If I'm terse it's not because I'm hostile (well, necessarily, anyway). I also try to use humor as much as I can, unfortunately, the static nature of wiki content often fails to communicate that. "Wikinanny" was not meant as an insult, but a joke; something I might say to you over a lunch. PainMan 05:47, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I meant, I'm sorry "if your feelings are hurt" because I care about all people's feelings -- even those I have only talked to through a computer. And yes, it was sincere. :-) My comment came off as a bit wise-assed, which wasn't my intent. Again that static thing! Same problem with email. Since plain text can lack nearly all emotional context (which I wish emoticons were useable, I know some people consider them silly and not "encyclopedic"--whatever that is supposed to mean!--but they can be helpful in avoiding miscommunication, imnho, i.e. in my not so humble opinion, I hold my opinions after researching them, having something to back them up and my analytical ability and, for lack of a better word, 200 IQ [which would mean something if IQ tests meant something, which, of course, they don't, ;o)] are what I got in this life, I have the athletic skills of an arthritic centenarian and I haven't noticed any females fainting when I walk by...) I appreciate not trying to go out of the way to offend people or hurt they're feelings, but this can be pushed too far. Some people--not yourself!--can just be too sensitive and use that in lieu of reasoned debate. As Elizabeth the Great said in the recent bio pic about her cousin Mary, "Let us see if sweet reason can reason her from her unreason", this pretty much somes up my take on the proliferation of whiny little b***** in our country (US). I don't mind edit confrontations, "wars" if one wishes, if the points are serious and not just disguised personality conflicts. If person A sincerely believes X and person B sincerely believes Y, they why should there by "compromise"? Compromise is just another way of saying that one doesn't really hold a particular belief all that strongly (hence, as a Ronald Reagan conservative with libertarian leanings, my disgust with the wishy-washy Republican leadership). Finally, I'm glad you took the "wikinanny" comment in the spirit I meant it. A lot of people, well certain people, would have been in high dudgeon. PainMan 08:22, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

You should be "de-admined".Back in November, you protected the Protest Warrior article because User:Shortbus requested it. You did this due to "edit warring", apparently without checking the factual accuracy or the conformance to policy of his edits and actions. Not coincidentally, the edits you froze in the article were his. Shortly thereafter I pointed out to you that it was he who recalcitrantly refused to discuss edits on the talk page. Despite this you did not take any action to help the situation nor even deign to respond to my comment. Now, it turns out his edits (the ones you froze in the article for two weeks) have been proven factually inaccurate. While you conformed to policy, I find your handling of this matter clumsy, frustrating and offensive and not performed with the due diligence I think one should expect from someone in your position. If the opportunity ever arises for a movement to see you stripped of your administrator status, you will find my efforts firmly in that direction. Respectfully, Lawyer2b 17:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Welcome!Hi L2B, I welcome your arrival to the Free Republic article (really). Please participate in the discussion as well. We have some new editors who have great zeal in defending FR, but, IMHO, not the knowledge of WP that you do. I encouraged them to look for inclusionable sources praising Free Republic, as my searches keep turning up only criticism (all inclusionable) even from conservatives like Sean Hannity, but these suggestions have been ignored. As I said on the talk page when the article goes to mediation or RfC, and I submit 10+ RS V sources condemning FR for extremism, encouraging violence, Islamophobia, etc, it will be helpful to have some contrasting views of FR. - F.A.A.F.A. 22:58, 10 December 2006 (UTC) Comment requestedGreetings, I wanted to invite you to leave a comment at Talk:Nova Southeastern University.

Lawyer, what is your view on Fair use?Lawyer, what is your view on Fair use? I came here after posting on User:Fairness And Accuracy For All's page, and I saw you have some links to fair use. I got banned for copyright violations after fighting the most powerful admins about Fair use. Someone was nice enough to unboot me, after days of me debating on my wiki talk page to be unbooted. I am a 3L. Do you practice copyright law? If we have the same views on copyright, I would like your help changing fair use policy on wikipedia. I have learned so much since my boot, how wikipedia really works, that I think with the right help and assistance, I can be successful. You can email me if you like [[3]]. Travb (talk) 05:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC) The ChinThere are two alleged reasons why Vincent Gigante is called "The Chin". Yes, he was given the name by his mother, "Chin" being short for Vincenzo or Cinzo. The author of "Gangbusters", Ernest Volkman has stated in an interview that I have taped that the other reason is the fact that he was a boxer and very frequently knocked out due to his glass jaw (that's slang for a weak jaw), so he was called "The Chin" by his freinds and associates in boxing cirlces. Anymore questions on Vincent Gigante, let me know. rjrios100@yahoo.ca Please be advised that FAAFA has withdrawn from mediation. As Jossi anticipated, both FAAFA and BenBurch have refused to engage and reserve the right to attack the article after we are done with it. In order to get RWR8189 completely on board, I've removed the Robinson quotes. Please be prepared for a revert war. -- BryanFromPalatine 13:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC) Hey Thank you for the userbox!Thank you for making this userbox {{User:Lawyer2b/Anti-UN}} since the original Anti-UN box was deleted.

Wooyi 22:56, 3 February 2007 (UTC) Links to and promoting attack sitesHello, per Wikipedia:Harassment#Types_of_harassment/posting of personal information, links to Wikipedia Review are disallowed. It is an attack site that cannot be linked to, advertised, or promoted, supported by previous ArbCom decisions. I've removed this link and promotion of a hostile site that attacks and attempts to out the IRL identities of Wikipedians from your user page, per this: "Posting information on, or implying how to find, or simply posting the address of a website which publishes such information is also harassment, regardless of whether the posted link is live or just a bare URL. This is because it places the other person at unjustified and uninvited risk of harm in "the real world" or other media. This applies whether or not the person whose personal information is being revealed is a Wikipedia editor."" Thanks for your understanding. - Denny (talk) 17:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Fair and AccuracyLooks like wikipedia administrators finally realized he wasn't very fair or accurate, after all. ;-) Unfortunately it took several months longer than it reasonably should have. Lawyer2b 15:06, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
The Billy-Ego caseI believe you are interested, and I could probably find 3 or 4 more people interested also, into possibly re-looking the sock-puppet bans of Billy-Ego? It seems logical to me, that it would not just be a lifting by Jimbo Wales that would work, but shouldn't another ArbCom decision be able to overrule previous decisions? This wouldn't just be about User: Anarcho-capitalism's case either, but a more in-depth look into all the user banned by that action, and whether they really were User: Billy-Ego.

Gun-free zone semanticsI agree that the term "gun-free zone" is a misnomer. It is however in common use and is the intent of laws such as TPC §30.06. I think it therefore is the best descriptor of the laws and the zone they create for public context such as WP. The question of their effectiveness and whether the term fits logically is a topic for the section, not to be hashed out behind the scenes. I will accept re-wording, but the use of the term "gun-free zone" is too commonly used not to at least mention the term.Liko81 (talk) 20:59, 26 December 2007 (UTC) Your userpage was (before) the only link to this unwritten article.
