Proposed merger
Hello there. I see that, after making substantial edits at Robert L. Hymers, you reverted yourself and instead created a new article. I have left messages on both article's talk pages proposing that the two be merged, as our policies discourage multiple articles on the same person. Let me state that while it appears that you are positively disposed towards the subject of the article, you clearly have made a good-faith attempt to include legitimately controversial matters. Additionally, your article is more compliant with the wikipedia manual of style that the other one; accordingly, I have proposed using your article as the base for the merger. Your comments are welcome at the article's talk page. Xymmax So let it be done 15:58, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
August 2008
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on R. L. Hymers, Jr.. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Shell 23:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

- Kdl4082, please understand that your message on my talk page comes across as being a threat to resort to legal process. While of course there is nothing improper about that, it is Misplaced Pages policy that your account be blocked until the legal threat is rescinded. This is in order ensure that legal matters are resolved through proper channels, and not exacerbated by activities on-wiki. Having said that, I see nothing in the R. L. Hymers article that would create any risk of physical harm to anyone. It sounds as if you (assuming that you are authorized to speak for Mr. Hymers) or his representative may wish to contact the Wikimedia Foundation (the "owners" of Misplaced Pages) with any concerns. The proper means to do so is by email to OTRS@wikimedia.org.
- With respect to any further edits to the article, if they violate Misplaced Pages policy (and as I mentioned previously, this one did) I am confident that they will again be quickly reverted. You are welcome to civilly discuss your concerns on the page designated for that purpose, which is Talk:R. L. Hymers, Jr.. If you are concerned about the tone of the article, you could use the {{coi}} template (just type that out at the top of the page). However, adding edits such as your last one is not the best way to accomplish your aims. I will post a copy of this response at your talk page; if you wish to reply please do so at my page.
