I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Again, welcome! - UtherSRG (talk) 14:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Please don't put in all of those extra returns. It appears as though you are using an external editor to write the material, then you blindly paste it into the article. This is bad, as your external text does not get updated if some other editor makes an edit between two of yours. Also, please do not over wiki-link. Any term should only be linked once in an article, not each time it is used. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:58, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
In addition, I may have to revert the entire article to where it was before you started editting. Wikipedia is not a place to publish original research, and it appears you are an original researcher of some of the information you have posted. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:59, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you. The article is such an improvement over the previous, it would have been a shame to have to revert it. I understand the thought of putting the personl references in may bolster the article, it does, however, do the opposite. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Whilst it is true that (User:Lazarusx is a name I use, the name is also used by other CFZ people using this and other computers, and not all the revisions to the article were done by me. Bill Petrovic is certainly a bloke in the office, but to call him a staff writer is ridiculous self-aggrandaisment on his part. He is a part time trainee rather than anything else.
I will be adding a large number of external references this afternoon to national newspapers, international magazines, and the BBC amongst others. I hope that this will sort out the situation. I only got involved in editing my entry because the stuff that other people put in was such nonsense. They had me marrying someone I have never met and writing books I had never heard of. I hope that this can all be sorted out amicably (User:Lazarusx
I have just added numerous references to both pages. I can provide many more should you so wish. One of the great problems here is that everyone in the UK who is interested in cryptozoology is quite likely to be a member already, and therefore their edits coiuld well be described as not being unbiased. I truly believe that there is nothing in either page that is not the complete and utter truth. Please contact me if you have any more worries Lazarusx (talk) 15:54, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Are you OK with the pages now? BTW I have looked through the history on both pages and have no idea who most of the contributors are Lazarusx (talk) 17:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
