Please stop removing text so harshly

Hi Tangola. I wanted to ask you, as a favor more than anything since I don't know Wikipedia Policy so well, that you please stop removing the unsourced text from the FARC articles. It is mmore helpful at time to add a "lack of citations" template to the top of the page than to remove the material, which in many (if not all) cases is easily verifiable. Please consider it. Thank you, Colombiano21 (talk) 12:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I wholeheartedly agree with every single word of your well-written "tweak" about the Republican Party. However, as an editor of Wikipedia, I am compelled to issue following:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Republican Party (United States), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Art Smart (talk) 13:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Republican party

Hi, thanks for your message. I thought it belonged there to be honest but fair enough :) Tangola (talk) 13:32, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

No problem. You obviously have a valuable message to get out, and I would recommend blogging. My own blog is here. I have found it to be very satisfying to communicate with like-minded people. If you sign up, please send me a "friend" invitation, and I'll accept it immediately. I look forward to future communications. Thanks. --Art Smart (talk) 15:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

"People cannot believe that anyone would honestly suggest that the solution to gun crime is to allow more guns"

Now quit your vandalizing. -- LightSpectra (talk) 01:06, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Having taken a look at LightSpectra's unsoliticed URL and unnecessary lecture, I wish to reiterate that I wholeheartedly agree with every single word you previously wrote about one of the major political parties: "It is principally formed of bloodthirsty gun owners and religious extremists who despise homosexuals (see Free Republic for examples of such Republican rhetoric). The party is met with either contempt, anger or pity in the more civilised societies of Europe and the UK where people cannot believe that anyone would honestly suggest that the solution to gun crime is to allow more guns." Thanks for your intelligent perspective. I think comparative homicide statistics speak volumes. --Art Smart (talk) 03:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
