Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 05:06, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kitchen Nightmares

Hi, there! I saw your ANI notice, and here's the thing. You need a reliable source before inserting such information, and the admin who protected the page did not do it because of you. I checked the history and several people were inserting unsourced info recently, see WP:PROTECT. Thanks, if you have any more questions please ask me on my talk page. Happy editing!

Please sign your posts using ~~~~. Also, I'd appreciate if you weren't so irritated with JzG. Maybe he didn't see that you had cited your claim. Please assume good faith. Cheers,Je t Lover (Report a mistake) 05:30, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Walk a mile in my shoes, brother, before you tell me not to be irritated. I did nothing wrong except add useful information to Wikipedia. Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa. I am fed up, dig? LeeStranahan (talk) 05:36, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Believe me, I have been in situations worse than this. Cheers,Je t Lover (Report a mistake) 05:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, if you get a chance, have a look at the new version of the article. Wl219 came up with a compromise version that includes your link AND a New York Post article that seems to back your statements. With the newspaper backing your article, I think both can stay - if other editors agree. I also wanted to apologize if I rubbed you the wrong way yesterday - I assure you, that wasn't my intent. Best, ZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 13:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that. I don't know what anyone intent is - my only intent was to factually correct the entry. The current Kitchen Nightmares entry pretty much sucks. Very light on information.

Signing

Hello, LeeStranahan. I'd like to ask you to please sign your posts using ~~~~. It is very important, otherwise people cannot tell who you are on talk pages. Cheers,Je t Lover (Report a mistake) 22:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And I'd like to ask you to focus on issues that are actually important, like adding quality content to Wikipedia or not having admins abuse their power. LeeStranahan 17:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
