editI am responding to the request for a third opinion. I have moved the existing discussion to Talk:Clifton High School (New Jersey)#David Null so that any future questions regarding his inclusion/exclusion will have this discussion available. Mdbrownmsw 14:10, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Helpful hint
editBefore deleting unsourced content from articles, you should first make a good faith effort to find a source for the material, and then place a tag (for example {{Fact|date=October 2007}} to request a source for encyclopedic content. Going on a rampage and deleting content is considered bad form. Alansohn 04:23, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- I came here to say the same thing. It's good to be bold when adding material, but cautious when deleting it. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 05:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- "If you wish to change an existing procedure or guideline...
- do set up a discussion page and try to establish consensus
- don't push the existing rule to its limits in an attempt to prove it wrong, or nominate the existing rule for deletion."

editI'm sorry to bother you while you are on your path of vengeance, but a reminder that WP:BIO states that "Notability criteria is also needed for a person to be included in a list or general article; however, this criteria is less stringent." It is becoming clearer and clearer that your recent edits to this article are not a good faith effort to improve the article, but are in fact an effort to excise a pound of flesh for the failure to insert David Null. I strongly suggest that you review WP:POINT before you continue with any more disruption. Alansohn 12:15, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Even you can't possibly believe the crap you're spewing. Your abuse -- which meets the textbook definition of WP:POINT disruption -- has been taken to the grievance process. A well-deserved block should help you focus on productively building an encyclopedia, not childish tit-for-tat revenge based on blatant disregard for Wikipedia policy.

quick note
editWhile you can cite Villaraigosa's troubles with the bar exam, please be careful not to imply that Gilbert Cedillo "must not have passed the bar" because he is not a member of the Cal Bar. There are a number of people who graduate from law school but decide not to take the bar for various reasons. If we have a cite that he failed the bar, then its fine to add it. --Bobak 19:22, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- This is a minor note: Please remember to make comments on a user's talk page (discussion tab), not the user page itself --you can always hit the "+" button on the top of the talk page (next to edit) in order to create a new discussion heading. I didn't mind, I simply moved the comment to my talk page, but some user pages have elaborate formatting and a user might mistake your comment for vandalism. All the best and happy editing. --Bobak 22:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
You claim to have started an RfC at Talk:Ronald F. Maxwell, but you haven't said what you want to discuss. Corvus cornix 20:46, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- I apologize. I thought I used the template correctly. I have attempted to correct the error. Please check.Pupluv 21:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- The first step should have been to put a {{refimprove}} tag on the article. Corvus cornix 21:06, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
