As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you! --D-Day What up? Am I cool, or what? 19:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC) July 4Thank you for experimenting with the page Lee Harvey Oswald on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Mitt RomneyOn a side note, you said, in your edit summary: the veto works the same way in Mass as it does elsewhere in the USA: the Governor can't amend passed bills. He either signs the bill as passed or vetoes it. I'm pretty sure that Governors of Massachusetts have the authority of the line-item veto, unlike Presidents of the United States. --AaronS 13:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC) Wikipedia isn't a primary source, so all the content that goes into articles has to be verifiable per WP:V and WP:RS. WP:V is a founding policy for wikipedia and states that the threshold for inclusion is verifiability and not truth. So while something may be true, unless you can back it up with a source it can't be included in articles. There is a section on WP:OR which defines what original research is in the context of wikipedia. Anything that falls under that will need a citation. Anothing thing to keep in mind, especially when dealing with online subjects is that blogs and forum postings are not typically accepted as citations except in very limited fashions because of their self-published and unreliable nature.--Crossmr 04:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC) My point was that the campaign has an official Second Life site. I learned of it from a campaign worker, who put out press releases, etc., not from "original research." By your logic, the official web site should also not be mentioned on Wikipedia, either--- because at some point someone had to do "original research" to verify that it existed. The content available from the Second Life site duplicates what's on the web site, so it's not a huge loss having the Second Life site missing. User:TimothyHorrigan Timothy Horrigan 21:11, 6 August 2007 (UTC) Hey, nice job snipping some of the unsourced melodrama from History of baseball in the United States. It's about time someone started getting that article into some form of encyclopedic tone. Keep it up! (You might want to include some edit summaries though or else whoever originally added it may get upset.) —Wknight94 (talk) 01:14, 2 November 2006 (UTC) The Laura Branigan article has a history of POV edits (not talking about yours) by a couple of factions with a strong sense of "ownership" of the article and who seem to consider themselves sacred guardians of Branigan's memory or whatever. Part of that is the whole melodrama about which web site is "official" and who owns the domain name. The names of the people involved, etc., are pretty much irrelevant and inappropriate for Wikipedia. Remember that Wikipedia must remain strictly neutral in reporting on the dispute, including citing only to reliable, trusted, third-party sources. So all the stuff that's on one of the web sites about what Branigan did or didn't say or other self-serving material is not an appropriate source. We need to stick to the verifiable facts, in this case that's the WIPO case decision. In terms of undue weight the whole web site controversy deserves a couple of sentences at most. Best, --MCB 22:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC) HiI saw this while checking RC. The last part doesn't make much sense unless you include Coulter's response. If you exclude it, then it doesn't state what Edwards replied to. Thanks, Mønobi 05:02, 21 December 2007 (UTC) HuckabeeI am letting you know that I am reverting your Huckabee edit because the information added about the nominations and the primary races is unsourced. Please find a source for the information. Jmegill (talk) 21:46, 31 December 2007 (UTC) Michael Jackson ...questionable claimsHi Timothy, I am glad to see a like-minded editor who is concerned about the questionable and overblown claims in the Michael Jackson article. Here is a copy of the note I posted to the talk page of the MJ article. Like you, I have tried to edit or tone down the claims about how MJ "led MTV out of obscurity" and "revolutionized dance and music", etc, but my changes have been reverted.................................................................Here is my note to the article's talk pageNazamo (talk) 14:54, 4 January 2008 (UTC) ___________________________________-----------------------------------The lede states that MJ's videos on MTV had the effect of "leading the relatively young channel out of obscurity." The source, an ABC News article about the devotion of MJ's fans only mentions MJ and the early days of MTV in one sentence, when it states that MJ put MTV "on the map." I have changed the lede so that it accurately states what the source says (put MTV "on the map"), but an editor has changed it back to the "out of obscurity" wording. Paraphrasing content is a legitimate and good technique. If the source had several paragraphs discussing the relationship between MJ and MTV in the 1980s, you could try to paraphrase it. But since the source only mentions the issue once, I argue that it is misleading to claim that the source says MJ led MTV "out of obscurity" when the source has a different tone, of saying he put MTV "on the map." A subtle difference, perhaps, but an encyclopedia has to be reliable.Nazamo (talk) 14:45, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Hi, here is the sentence from the ABCnews article: "They may fondly recall how Jackson moonwalked for the first time across the stage at Motown's 25th anniversary special in 1983 and put MTV on the map with pioneering videos such as "Thriller," "Billie Jean" and "Beat It."...................I argue that the editor is adding POV (point of view) by purporting that the article says MJ led MTV "out of obscurity." The article never states that MTV was in a position of obscurity. Instead, it states that MJ's pioneering videos "put MTV on the map."Nazamo (talk) 14:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Edits to Melody MakerThis message was sent by someone named Sunderland06. The edit I made was NOT racially motivated: I said: "The Melody Maker was strongly supportive of the glam rock and progressive rock movements of the early 1970s. However, when punk came along around 1976, Melody Maker lagged behind rivals Sounds and NME in embracing the upheaval; of MM's staff, only Caroline Coon was strongly positive towards the new music." I could maybe see Sunderland06's point if we were talking about hip-hop or disco, but punk, glam rock and prog rock were all largely the work of white musicians. (In fact, I can only think of one prominent black early punk rocker, Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex, although ska bands such as The English Beat and The Specials were integrated.) FWIW, the MM was also strongly supportive of the reggae movement of the 1970s, as well as the R&B of the time. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 00:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
NPOVPlease adhere to WP:NPOV when editing, and use and edit summary to explain your changes. Thanks. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 06:24, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
ClarificationSorry if the warning gave the wrong impression. Although I agree with your points personally, I have to recognize the importance of presenting information neutrally -- it's not up to me (or wikipedia) to decide if a group is "liberal" or if O'Reilly's responses should be characterized as "claims" instead of "statements", it is up to the reader to conclude (or not) based upon the evidence presented. Regarding the wording of the warning, it is a standard warning template for persistent disruptive behavior. I have no doubt that this was just a misunderstanding and you need not worry. If you would like some help incorporating stuff into the article that complies with our core policies and guidelines, I'd be glad to help. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 04:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
AfD procedureHi Timothy. I note that you did not place the appropriate AfD tag on Tony Rezko when you made your nomination. I understand that the procedures are complicated and I've certainly messed them up before. However it's important to follow the procedures at WP:AFD carefully, particularly for controversial articles like this one. Failing to follow procedure can be grounds for overturning an AfD decision so you might want to have a look for your next one. Cheers. Ronnotel (talk) 16:16, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Please use a very reliable source to cite the facts that you added to the article. It is near FA nomination. Royalbroil 01:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, just wondering, with the biographical data (son/grandson/brother/sister/etc.) you added on Dale Jr. - was that a restoration of material somebody removed? (I'm not criticizing, I'm just wondering, as I would have thought that it had been in the article before.) Anyway, just a good job and kudos for either restoring it if somebody removed it (I would assume as vandalism), or adding it in if for some reason it inexplicably wasn't there to start with. --Umrguy42 (talk) 05:39, 3 May 2008 (UTC) Michael JacksonWould you please stop what you have been doing for the last few months. If you can't edit neutrally then dont. — Realist2 (Who's Bad?) 00:47, 25 June 2008 (UTC) Your pov edit's and inability to source anythingFor the honest sake of clarity, your not a newbie at wikipedia so why do you still write in a pov manner without adding reliable sources? I don't understand your motivation, you do realize it is against wiki policy to edit in such a manner? Could you please reply to this on your talk page. — Realist2 (Speak) 23:31, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Modern LoversHi! I liked some of your edits to the Modern Lovers intro, but not others. Anyway, I've had a go at trying to combine the best of both efforts, but I don't suggest that my version is perfect. Hopefully we can work together to improve it without getting into edit warring stuff. Regards, Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC) CitationsHi, I see you've been asked before to provide citations for your edits. I've reverted you recent edit to Coldplay as you did not provide citations for the additions. I am sure you are aware that one of Wikipedia's core policies is verifiability, not truth. It is possible that if you continue to ignore Wikipedia's policies that you may be blocked from editing. --JD554 (talk) 08:10, 28 January 2009 (UTC) Boston (band)Dude, I don't know what to make of your edits, you don't give rationale, and you didn't even sign your talkpage discussion. Don't be surprise if I rollback these edits. You need to provide reasoning for your edits, because this article is very popular and is edited often. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT PRAISE 03:51, 15 February 2009 (UTC) Indeed, the addition of unsourced material on this date about Michael Jackson playing with Boston bordered on page vandalism. Please stop this silliness. --Whitelitr (talk) 01:46, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Vandalism? My September 29 changes were all based on reliable sources. I don't get it. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 11:26, 29 September 2009 (UTC) barrygoudreu.com is not a reliable source of information. Please stop spamming up the history and vandalizing the Boston page Whitelitr (talk) 20:28, 29 September 2009 (UTC) And why isn't it reliable at least as a source of what Goudreau's side of the story is? And who put you in charge of the page? Timothy Horrigan (talk) 22:14, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Technically you are violating the Wikipedia rules if you are working for "Mr. Scholz" Timothy Horrigan (talk) 23:12, 29 September 2009 (UTC) I did not say I was "working" for anyone.

Best. — R2 01:59, 6 March 2009 (UTC) LimbaughDude, I don't know what your problem is, but you need to chill out. I corrected your mouthfoaming edit about Limbaugh. You may have been slightly correct, but you didn't even bother to check the facts. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT PRAISE 02:37, 12 March 2009 (UTC) New message for you on Limbaugh discussion page, have a great day.Jarhed (talk) 18:00, 13 March 2009 (UTC) Dude, I also notice after visiting here that a lot of people revert your edits. Maybe you should take a hint?Jarhed (talk) 18:01, 13 March 2009 (UTC) I have had to remove most of your 4 recent edits to the article because the intro you added to the lead contradicts info already in the article. The info you added about her 99th birthday I've left for now so that you can add a reference, but ones not added soon I plan to remove this as well. Note: From the comments on you talk page it seems clear you do not add references to support your edits. Just to make sure its clear to you every single unreferenced edit is subject to possible deletion. If you wish to productively add to Wikipedia include references, otherwise your work my well be identified as vandalism. Highground79 (talk) 15:32, 6 May 2009 (UTC) At least one of your edits was highly questionable: you deleted two items as "unsourced" which were verified RIGHT THERE IN THE ARTICLE (in a table just below the text) and a third which had a bill number which could easily be verified. I did add a link to HB 35's Bill Docket page. The info in the Doris Haddock page was correct as well, DUDE! That's right I addressed you as DUDE! Timothy Horrigan (talk) 02:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC) Actually every edit is subject to deletion... sometimes referenced material can be taken out just because it is unnecessary (or even because the reference itself was to a source with incorrect or irrelevant info.) Timothy Horrigan (talk) 03:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC) CBS RecordsYour edits to the CBS Records article included incorrect information which have been removed. First of all, when Sony bought CBS Records including CBS's interest in CBS/Sony Records in Japan, the Japanese record company was renamed Sony Records. Secondly, Sony only bought the rights to the Columbia name and trade marks from EMI, not the EMI Columbia catalogue which EMI still owns and issues on the EMI label. Steelbeard1 (talk) 02:30, 22 July 2009 (UTC) GA reassessment of Blondie (band)I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the referencing which you can see at Talk:Blondie (band)/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC) Your edits to this page were in blatant disregard of the Wikipedia POV policy. The idea that television and radio have bias against conservative opinion is a matter of perspective, and even if it were not, the page is not a forum for that discussion. Edited to remove unnecessary political content/bias. --Barrowlands (talk) 08:46, 8 August 2009 (UTC) October 2009
I think the other editors in the edit war have an ax to grind: they are deleting reasonable and truthful edits just because they reflect well on an ex-member of the band Boston who has been locked in a conflict with the leader for about 30 years.

The Two Seas Records incident did indeed happen. Jackson did sign a contract with them; they were financed by the Bahrani royal family; and nothing ever came of the deal. I have managed to source the announcement in Billboard. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 19:06, 25 April 2010 (UTC) June 2010

You are now a Reviewer![]() Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010. Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:53, 18 June 2010 (UTC) Thanks for your efforts to keep his article up to date, but I don't think we should be reporting what is still speculation (even if you and I think it's almost certain to happen). Especially with living people, it's better to hold off and get it absolutely right. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:20, 7 September 2010 (UTC) The Yahoo! sports article appears to be a strategic leak by the Heisman people.

I see that you have re-added your material here, after I had removed it here, due to the POV, UNDUE, and speculative nature of the material. Please note Donald Trump is subject to discretionary sanctions: "Consensus required: All editors must obtain consensus on the talk page of this article before reinstating any edits that have been challenged (via reversion). If in doubt, don't make the edit." Kindly self-revert your material and obtain consensus on the talk page before attempting to re-add it. :Thank you.
