Thank-you so much Ryan. I hope it doesn't sound wierd, but being able to do this and reach people he knew kinda makes me feel close to him. And I know he'd want me to try and do this. He lived so far away from us and now he's gone forever. Did I do this right? Jeffssister (talk) 16:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)jeffssister

Editor amok

Recently you have taken an interest in allowing for a fair representation of an LDS author named Chris Heimerdinger. An editor named Ronz has taken it upon himself to delete a large part of the content of these articles in a manner that seems prejudiced against the faith of the subject represented. Certainly Misplaced Pages does not wish to have a reputation that is influenced by religious prejudice. Ronz's tirade in requesting sourced material seems innocent on the surface, but has gotten to the point of using this as excuse to potentially delete full articles (like Passage to Zarahemla) as well as trim to the point that the article really offers little interesting information. And it seems this is entirely for fear that parties, including the subject himself, are promoting rather than treating the subject in an encyclopedic manner. He seems to have gone much beyond whatever authority is offered to editors in this matter. This author, a movie associated with him, as well as other featured articles related to his career, are being unduly cut and slashed with apparent prejudice. The discussion page on the subject of Passage to Zarahemla goes over these issues with more detail. I have read many articles on Misplaced Pages, including an article recently on a British character actor named Kenneth Cope, that offers much interesting information without any references at all. The spirit of Misplaced Pages, it would seem, is to offer more info than can be found in other resources. Many people have gone out of their way to offer legitimate resource info to justify certain items in the these articles, only to have such postings "undone" by Ronz. From your other edits you appeared to have the ability to take a neutral approach to this matter, disallowing promoters as well as detractors. Please involve yourself again to return such articles back to a balance that is not so unduly weighted toward detractors. Georgia.

Thanks for the co-nom!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

		Happy New Year!
		Hey there, Ryan Postlethwaite! Happy new Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do. I like to keep my templated messages in a satisfactorily melancholy tone. ;) Congratulations to Coren, Wizardman, Vassyana, Carcharoth, Jayvdb, Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke and Rlevse, who were all appointed to the Arbitration Committee after the ArbCom elections. I am sure I am but a voice of many when I say I trust the aforementioned users to improve the committee, each in their own way, as listed within their respective election statements. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to update the 2009 article, heh. Best wishes, neuro 00:58, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Calton

Hello. Calton is repeatedly violating WP:NPA and WP:BLP on the front of his user page. He constantly re-inserts the offending information under the guise of "revert vandalism". NPA and BLP are pretty clear and concise and he is clearly in violation of them. However, because I am an anon he refuses to take this into account. He has also vandalized my talk page. Please look into this. Thank you and Happy new Year! 78.102.45.141 (talk) 13:33, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

The "vandalism" is on this IP's part--problematic, especially given that it's fairly obvious the permabanned pest TruthCrusader (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who's done similar stunts before, including complaining to my employer and leaving libelous -- and plain vile -- comments on a blog about me. For the former, I was lucky enough to get Mike Godwin to write a letter to my HR manager and for the latter User:Jpgordon got the info and banned his ass. You may wish to investigate the suddenly reappearing Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk · contribs). --Calton | Talk 14:08, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

You left out the part where you are violating WP:NPA and WP:BLP on your user page. Rules are rules, they apply to everyone here and are not "selective". 78.102.45.141 (talk) 15:06, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I left off nothing, TruthCrusader: you, on the other hand, seem to left off your long CV and block log, not to mention your sockpuppet list. --Calton | Talk 06:36, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Dear Ryan Postlethwaite,

Wishing you a happy new year, and very best wishes for 2009. Whether we were friends or not in the past year, I hope 2009 will be better for us both.

Kind regards,
