What do you expect to get from Advocacy?

• Answer:turn off the "the page is in dispute" label at the top of the page.

Summary:

It's not really "my" side per se. Just that I see that the dispute/edit wars are over and would like the dispute label remove.

Discussion:

Kevdo, you may remove the {Content} tag from the page yourself if nobody objects to it on the discussion page at Talk:Frat Pack for a while. I'd wait a week to see if someone still objects to its removal... say around the 22nd of this month? You don't need to have someone do it for you, if you edit the Frat Pack page, it's the first thing at the top. {Content} but with 2 curly braces. If you need any more help though, feel free to post a message on User talk:Pedant and I'll be happy to help you with anything. User:Pedant 21:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Please read WP:SPAM as well, to make sure your insertion of links to http://www.the-frat-pack.com are not perceived as spamming, since they are to your personal commercial website. Such links are rarely appropriate, please make sure that yours are the appropriate kind. User:Pedant 21:45, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• I know it might be hard to believe but in all honesty few if any of the links to the Frat Pack Tribute site (within the article) were added by me.Kevdo 16:07, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
