Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Jax 0677 (talk) 19:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

I added two sources for the decommissioned 123s, but they deny any relation to the C4ISR investigation. Can you add a source for your claim? Rl 19:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

editIf you want to ensure the accuracy of Michael DeKort, you may visit Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard to post any issues that you have. This is probably the best starting point. You may contact Jimmy Wales directly after you have exhausted ALL other options. --Jax 0677 (talk) 01:04, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
From Michael DeKort - What prohibits MrJacksonThomas - the person manipulating my page - from creating another? Even if he does not use or you prohibit him from making one under my name? For instance he could post on the ICGS page. If I prove what is right and wrong and he keeps this up can he be banned from making more changes? And even if you try to ban him what if he changes names and IP addresses by doing it from somewhere else? Lastly the items he recently deleted were MY explanation of how the appeals court got it wrong. Can I not print my own contention? For proof I have the emails but how would they be sourced? I received the IEEE BARUS Ethics Award for what I did. We settled with the defense contractors on part. Major newspapers, books, hearings and 60 Minutes vindicated me. Because of me laws were written saying those kinds of contracts can never exist again. I helped save lives post 9/11. My family has been through a lot during this. We don't deserve to be drug through the mud by some anonymous internet stalker whose own page says he is here to be disruptive. (I believe he works for the contractors). As I have stated I am obviously not happy about the dismissal and loss of appeal. Nor about the court being concerned I lied (no filing of a final contempt order was made). But it is the truth. But I should be able to address it with my explanation for why it happened as well as state that ALL of our claims remained in tact. Basically we lost because the judge was convinced I had too much public data and that I misrepresented aspects of my involvement in the project. (Something I tried to explain I found on my own and admitted to before anyone made an issue out of it. That failed because the document was filed wrong.) And even if the court considered the information we were not allowed to use or was not provided to us by people and organizations who refused to help us with the truth - what did I do wrong to deserve this? I tried to add the hull claims to my lawsuit to try and hold the contractors accountable for what they did. Fact is I did the best I could with what I had and knew, made some mistakes - one very big one - and did my best. Again we settled on some, the press and congress vindicated me, laws were written because of what I did and the other claims remained. Which means the court was ready to go to trial on ALL of our allegations but they didn't like I was the one who brought them, or the circumstances of my bringing them and for that I and the country suffer?
- Reply - I am sorry about the issues that you are having, but I am only a volunteer editor, I am neither a Wikipedia administrator nor an employee of The Wikimedia Foundation. What I have read is that while anonymous users do contribute a lot of vandalism, there are tools in place to combat this, and anonymous users also contribute a lot of useful edits. I am not intimately familiar with Wikipedia dispute resolution processes, but many people do know that Wikipedia is not 100% accurate, as it is written by volunteers. Arbitration is the binding last resort for disputes, which can result in bans or blocks for users. Neutral point of view involves having the neutral point of view displayed, or ALL points of view displayed. I wish that I had an answer that was more to your liking, but regrettably, I do not.
- Wikipedia is written and screened majorily by unpaid volunteers who work hard to keep the encyclopedia running. If you feel that something should be deleted within the rules of Wikipedia, then the best way to get it deleted may be to delete the material yourself. Also, please read WP:NLT, make sure you do NOT post any user's personal information and don't forget to sign your posts by typing four tildes. --Jax 0677 (talk) 20:10, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
