MacPherson strut

Nice job on the diagram for MacPherson strut. That was one of the requested pictures that I vaguely hand on my 'keep an eye out for' list, but I doubted I could take a picture that was much better than the previous one. The diagram approach is much better. -- Solipsist 12:12, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Free Republic/Jim Robinson

My apologies for merging and redirecting the Jim Robinson article without discussion, but I don't believe it is general policy to have articles on people who are notable only for their websites, when the article about hte website itself will suffice quite well. See e.g. The Best Page in the Universe.

In any case, it is quite easily to undo, as User:Wakeforest demonstrated so aptly. If you want to discuss it, I've brought it up on the Talk:Free Republic page. --Jonathan Christensen 08:28, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No harm done. My apologies. Silly me, I should have read the Talk:Free Republic page before I commented. Or maybe I shouldn’t have been reading recent changes in the wee hours of the morning. -Casito 23:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hey, Sorry to bother you about this again, but might you mind clarifying your position (or lack thereof) on this on the Misplaced Pages:Votes_for_deletion/Jim Robinson page? User:Rangerdude is claiming that you are in support of keeping them as two seperate articles based on your early comments on Talk:Jim Robinson.

Thanks! --Jonathan Christensen 11:34, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Probable vandalism from 128.172.224.210 Removed, see history

What the hell's your problem? I never would joke about the Vietnam War. It was a great travesty and resulted in the loss of over 58,000 American soldiers. And no I didn't lose 82 family members but my dad was killed in the war. His name was Robert Stevens Samuels if you don't believe me and you can go and check it up. I would never joke about a thing like that esecially a war that took my father's life and I find it extremely insulting you would suggest so. And I apologize for putting the remarks I did earlier on Vietnam but I cannot help but feel a certain hatred for a country that resulted in my father's death. I have had thoughts of suicide (which is also no laughing matter), especially when I was 13 and first learned of my father's death. However I have been able to overcome that and now live a happy life with my wife and 2 kids. Again I apologize for the post I made earlier on Vietnam but I take deep offense to you suggesting I regard the Vietnam War as a joke. I realize from your bio that you are only 22 but I still don't think that is any excuse for jumping to a conclusion about a person and accusing them of taking lightly one of the most deplorable wars in our nation's history. I would hope you would be more considerate of the user's feelings in the future.

• Leaving this one up to make a point. I did look up "Robert Stevens Samuels." 5 men with the surname 'Samuels' died in Vietnam, but none of them had 'Robert,' 'Stevens,' or 'Steven' for a first or middle name. (see US deaths, Aus deaths, NZ deaths) This goes to show you how far some vandals will go. I can't imagine what this anon thinks he is trying to accomplish, so I am left to conclude that he draws pleasure from telling lies. -Casito⇝Talk 07:55, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
