Charlie Sheen
[edit]Please take a minute to read WP:RS. Some of the links you've added do not meet the criteria for reliable sources. There is no real reason to add speculation about what sentence Sheen might serve. It could, and should wait until he is sentenced. Also, do not ever edit another editor's user pages except for talk pages, as you did here. That isn't kosher. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:27, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
RE: Charlie Sheen
I've read it. The link you provide is dated, and so I added updated news. Moreover, it seems that we both rely on .com sources for this page. You only cited one where I have five. I'll be happy with your edit if you can offer more "reliable" sources. Until then, it seems that we're both speculating. I, for one, am more content with updated, more researched speculation. P.S. What a strange use of "kosher" -- I'll remind you that this is the 21st century. Stick to the modern, up-to-date use of any word (or fact, in this case), as it optimizes clarity.

- Learn the basics by reading the introduction and taking the tutorial.
- Remember to sign messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~) to automatically insert your username and the date.
- Enjoy editing to improve articles, but try to leave an edit summary to explain what you are doing.
- Create your first article using the Article Wizard to help avoid common mistakes, which may lead to article deletion.
- Although you don't need to be familiar with all of Wikipedia's policies, try to keep to the core principles and basic guidelines.
- When dealing with fellow Wikipedians, please remain polite, solve problems calmly, and remember that no-one is out to get you.
- Get involved with the community by joining a WikiProject.
- Make any test edits in the sandbox or click here and create a sandbox of your own.
- If you are having difficulty, consider finding a mentor to give you more personal advice.
- If in doubt, be bold. If you make a mistake, it can easily be reverted.

[edit]Please do not attack other editors, as you did here: Talk:Charlie Sheen. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Don't be a dick. This edit summary is totally inappropriate. If you cannot control your bad behavior, expect a block. Oh, and doofus, "kosher" is NOT an antiquated word. Ask any Jewish person. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:19, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
