Listen, I don't want to have to come to this page everyday for you not understanding that I am not using the talk pages as forums and deleting them dispite the fact that they are to be helpful in someway to the site. I had a link to an article on that page that stated that due to the then recent Jenny McCarthy issue of she blaming her child's autism on vaccines, parents had slowly started to stop getting their children vaccines, which in turn lead to a rise in measles-realted sicknesses. I simple had a few words with the link beside it stating that vaccines have help rid most of the world of some of the most dangerous diseases and that there is also no scientific proof that vaccines in no way can cause somebody to develop autism. I kindly ask that you stop barking at me for trying to better the site, for it is both rude and offensive to me. - Some Dude You've Never Known ( talk) 00:37, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

"Your recent edits to the article have been reverted as they were not an accurate summation of the sources provided. Additionally, the event discussed is not a significant event in the history of the CBS Evening News, the subject of this article. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:54, 8 October 2010 (UTC)"
I am not sure why that would be relevant to the article, although several sources did say that, none of which I quoted or listed. I never said that in the edits that were subsequently deleted from the wikipedia article. I am not concerned about their personal opinions, your personal opinions nor mine for that matter. It appears that you did not read the articles I cited or any other related information regarding this incident.
What is relevant is that this did occur on the CBS Evening News. It was well publicized and deserves to be a part of the article in order to be fair and balanced. The article reads like a Public Relation handout from CBS.(Again, nothing wrong with that, but is somewhat biased.)
If the article is to contain a description of Dan Rather's removal from CBS Evening news, as part of story he did on on another program (60 Minutes), then this incident needs to be described in the article. Regardless of whether I write it or not. The incident is relevant and verifiable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pudding30 ( talk • contribs) 16:22, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

She did commit plagiarism. In the piece, she stated, "I remember getting my first library card..." This is a direct quote from the Wall Street Commentary as was the rest of the piece. If one claims an piece as your own, but is actually from someone else, it is plagiarism. The commentator claimed the words as her own, but was actually that of a producer. The dispute, according to numerous sources is whether Katie Couric knew that it was plagerized from the Wall Street journal. Obviously, there is no way to know she did or not, but she did know the words were not her own. Ergo, plagiarism. If she had said, "Do you remember when you got your first library card?" then the plagiarism would have been slightly less questionable, on her part. TV news anchors reading the news written by other is not new, nor is it plagiarism, exactly. But claiming a commentary as your own is. It should be noted that she no longer does commentary on the Evening news, but Bob Schieffer still does on Face the Nation on Sunday. Your point is well taken and I will add additional verification. Gee, where did I put that Time magazine? I know that I have my old US News and Wall Street Journals around here somewhere.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pudding30 ( talk • contribs) 02:54, 4 November 2010

If you would have paid closer attention to what I added, you would have seen the cite note with a reference to an article on ESPN that clearly proves what I added, is in fact correct. So, next time you start accusing people of vandalism and telling them they need references, please open your eyes and pay closer attention before you make a fool of yourself. Thanks! -- 71.10.57.189 ( talk) 06:24, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Accident or not, he threw a chair, and the end result was hitting a defenseless woman. He wasn't swinging the chair in an attempt to cool himself off with a breeze, so obviously what I put wasn't incorrect. It was a malicious act, regardless of whether or not he attempted to hit the woman with it. So let me break it down into a level of simplicity that maybe even you can understand. A: Bob Murray threw a chair. B: The chair hit a defenseless woman. C: The police were called. He didn't accidentally bump into a chair that fell into a woman. He threw it. So, I would appreciate it if you would quit vandalizing my usertalk page with false allegations of vandalism. I know you enjoy your little power trip on Wikipedia because you lack any real authority or credibility in real life, but please save it for actual vandals. BTW, you can block IP addresses from editing, but not actually ban people. It takes about 45 seconds to release an old IP address and obtain a new one, so your threats of banning me over false allegations aren't really of any concern to me. You're now just trying to make excuses for yourself because you were too blind to see the cite note and reference on my original edit, and you're making up B.S. reasons for reverting it now that you've been caught. I'm not saying anybody is perfect, I mean, I originally misread your username and thought you were named after a brand of feminine hygiene products. But luckily, I proofread and double check things before I look ridiculous. Thank you, and good day! -- 71.10.57.189 ( talk) 07:48, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
BTW, I like your four references to support your theory that I'm a "vandal." However, this is a shared computer. And after looking at your references, I had to laugh. I didn't know it was even possible to vandalize the Wikipedia sandbox. That's great, you just made my day. You're threatening to block people for allegedly vandalizing the wikipedia sandbox. How ridiculous you are, I hope everybody sees this and laughs at you. -- 71.10.57.189 ( talk) 07:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi. You asked me not to mention that in Malicious Molly Ringwald makes a nude appearance in which her breasts appear unless I can cite a reliable source. How about the movie? Or, if I am going to cite the movie should I try indicate what is the name of the scene? I am now sure what standards of citation you are looking for here.
As to your comment that this is trivial information, I am not following you here either. Actors are judged by their performances and their image in the eyes of the public. Ringwald developed a very family oriented image in the 1980's. Exposing her breasts was a significant departure for her and for viewers. If she had started off her career as a nude model, then I agree it would be no big deal. But I find it similar to Julie Andrews baring hers in S.O.B. which by the way is discussed openly on that article in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fanfardon ( talk • contribs) 16:37, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
OK dude. How about if I found a source saying Molly was a family favourite. Then could I cite that her exposure of her honkers was in contrast to her previous image? I mean, would this slip under your radar and qualify as something factual though not opinionated?
By the way, your discussio of SOB sounds to me like handwaving. Do you know what that is? I think so as you sound like you have been to grad school and you should know when a prof is trying to snow you. Plese dont do this with me because 1) you wont get away with it 2) its not pleasant, and after all, we can all be pleasant cant we? The exposed boobs are just as much of the plot in Malicious and if you want to debate about interpretation then you are riding the same bus I am and have no business censoring me for stating that they are a significant part of the plot.
I am gonna try to conform to what you are saying, but I will ask you also to abandon your 13th century scholastic pedantry. I have studied the trivium and the quadrivium. And I KNOW the difference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fanfardon ( talk • contribs) 03:07, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Clearly we can't use this as a reliable source, but I thought you might find this [6] interesting. Michelle Thomas' mother confirmed on the Facebook tribute page she created that her daughter was in fact born in 1968. Oh, and before you make the obvious question "how do we know that's really her?" I would refer you to the Youtube video in which Penwah Phynjuar gives people her website address; that website contains a link to this same FB page. So even though we can't use it as a reliable source it is confirmation that Michelle Thomas was in fact born in 1968, not 1969. Erikeltic ( Talk) 16:11, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Heya, just thought I'd better be polite and let you know that I've just vandalised your user page. I know it's bad, but I was bored and Question Time isn't on for another two hours so I thought I might as well amuse myself online.
So yeah, I haven't done much at all, so don't worry. I've just moved your vandalism counter on one from 62 to 63. But wait a second - with my edit, your user page has actually been vandalised 63 times, so since my edit isn't stating anything which isn't true, it can't really be vandalism after all! But if that's true then you really have been vandalised only 62 times and thanks to me your page is proudly stating an untruth! So it must be vandalism! But then it can't be. But then it is! But then it can't be! But then - MY HEAD'S JUST EXPLODED!!! 138.38.32.174 ( talk) 20:57, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, I would really like to discuss the removal of the Dr. Seuss eBooks under the adaptations section for the various books. I'd love to do it by email, my email address is (redacted). If you could shoot me an email that would be great. If you'd prefer to speak on this page, please let me know, and I will happily make my case here :) The basic point is that these eBooks are very relevant to so many communities, especially the Dr. Seuss community, who are huge supporters and are thrilled to discover this new way to enjoy their favorite titles. I look forward to hearing from you! Ntaller ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:29, 4 February 2011 (UTC).
You bring up many good points, and I am not going to argue with you about the Oceanhouse Media article. Right now, my goal is to explain to you that these omBooks are not merely a book's pages that have been copied onto a screen, but rather, they are an entirely new publication. And are very relevant. I get your concern about the actual topic of the article fading into obscurity, however, to compare this joint endeavor between Oceanhouse Media and Dr. Seuss Enterprises, to publish all 44 Dr. Seuss titles in the latest and greatest digital medium of today, to Christmas decorations at Burger King, is simply not a fair comparison. Also, I honestly do not understand how the discontinued educational CD Rom game of The Cat in the Hat is deemed relevant, yet these omBooks, which are literally creating a revolution in Children's publishing, are not. [7]
For now, I will provide you with some links that I believe will help illustrate the importance of these omBooks, and this emerging industry in general. Below is an old video, there are now 17 Dr. Seuss titles on ios devices. As well as some on Android. But this video gives a nice overview of this field: [8] This is a nice article by The Wall Street Journal, on Dr. Seuss books transforming into omBooks: [9] A short blurb in Publishers Weekly, Titled "Digital Numbers from Oceanhouse Media, Barnes and Noble" [10] note: There are an increasing number of digital book conferences, each year, that every top publishing house now attends. And the speakers are digital book publishers. A simple article by Huffington Post, captures how parents across America (but really the world)are embracing these Dr. Seuss omBooks. [11] Again, an older article, but it describes the industry (and hopefully the relevance of the industry) pretty well. [12] For your interest, Here is a video of one of the apps, that a website called, Apps for Children with special needs, put up. These omBooks truly reach out to so many people, across so many cultures and walks of life. It really is a wonderful thing. [13] For more references and general information, this website will be very helpful: [14] The press page in particular has hundreds of articles pertaining to these omBooks.
As a final note, these Dr. Seuss books are so popular, they are often at the number 1 spot in the books category on iTunes out of thousands and thousands and thousands of other books... not just children's books. All books. Currently, Fox in Socks is number 6, Green Eggs and Ham is 16, and The Cat in the Hat is 20. Also these books are sold across the world to countries I haven't even heard of. How incredible is that, that kids across the world, in places where the print book was never published, now have access to the great Dr. Seuss? And they love it! I think it's so great, and very relevant to anyone who lands on one of these Dr. Seuss Book's Wikipedia page. I hope you agree. Ntaller ( talk) 18:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, I haven't heard back from you about my last post. Please let me know where you stand because I would like to add a simple sentence or two under the adaptations section for the various Dr. Seuss books. I look forward to hearing from you Ntaller ( talk) 18:42, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm wondering if you looked at the links I provided. They show that the community of Dr. Seuss fans is highly interested in these omBooks. If you did not look at the links I provided, please just glance at this page which will show you the sheer volume of press interest in this subject. [15] Since you have assumed that I have a close connection with the company, I'm wondering, now that I've explained these products to you, if someone else were to add these omBooks to the pages, someone you deemed more credible, would you still take them down?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ntaller ( talk • contribs) 17:05, 18 February 2011
Hello friend I see you reverted my edit on our great, honorable, supremely honest, role model, stand up citizen of a justice Antonin Scalia - I am leaving you this message because I believe in you; I want you to be a crusader for justice and equality as well as for the mandates of god; I would rather have 1lifelong ally than 1 lifelong enemy; please read my message and take it to heart after much consideration
I see you reverted my edit but this is one topic that the option to be un(or dis)interested in is life or death for billions of people worldwide. The black and hispanic man is still not free in the U.S. and the rest of the world as well. They (us me) are in a constant fight to survive and make it or lose our lives in this god forsaken world. The knowledge that you are just even typing on the computer (u are editing wiki r u not?) shows me that you are middle class and thus relatively problem free. But friend you have to understand the majority of the world is not as safe and happy as you. MThe majority of the world doesn't have people speaking for thier rights. the majority of the worlds doesn't have corporations and lobbyists telling them where to go when a land lord evicts them, helping them assist their husband when he is jailed not for a crime, but simply because he is black, the majority of the world doesn't have life insurance policies like u and i and can't even speak for themselves. People like you and me are who Christ will Reward in the end of Days. He will not reward people who clutch the Bible and then use it as justification for numerous moral wrongs (criminalizing blacks and hispanics, corporations pollution water supplies, etc. etc. ). HE will transform you and me into zealots at the my friend. All youneed to do is help those unfortunate around you and rise them up to where you are.
Three Reasons Why Republicans Are Wrong
If you think you may know why Republican reasoning is flawed, then pay attention because this should bring up some interesting new angles you probably never thought about. I’m not talking about policy differences, conservatism vs liberalism, or just plain illogical hatred. Here are some three solid reasons as to why their ideologies are wrong…
1. Reaganomics is too ideal to work
The whole concept of the trickle-down economy is brilliant. Put the money into the pockets of the corporations, and let their prosperity pull the rest of the population along. A corporation that does well expands further and hires more people, raises salaries, and, in general, improves the quality of life for everyone. People complain when stocks go down in Wall Street. Well, that’s because the corporations aren’t doing well during those times. Most everyone naturally wants these businesses to do well. Ideally, this is fantastic.
There’s a problem: it’s too slow. How long is it going to take before the poor finally get the benefits of this? And how can you insure that eventually everyone is benefited? Can the poor or the unemployed really wait a year or more before help arrives? Putting more money back into the pockets of corporations assumes they will take that money and actually hire more people or create more opportunities for the poor/middle class. This isn’t always the case, and, if it is, it does not happen overnight. I know when my father was unemployed, money was extremely tight. It took a year before my dad was able to actually find a job, and now my family is up to our necks in debt. Luckily we had enough of a reserve, but what about those who don’t? Not everyone is as fortunate, and some people need all the help they can get, and sooner rather than later.
2. America is NOT a Christian nation
America has a majority of its population as some sort of Christian (there’s way too many to keep track of these days). But it was not founded as a Christian nation. Thomas Jefferson was a deist, as were many other of the founding fathers. Jefferson was a strong proponent of the separation of church and state, and that’s why it is explicitly written in the Constitution. So, people should be able to worship whatever they want in America, correct?
How can people possibly argue against stem-cell research, or against gay marriage? With the separation of church and state it shouldn’t be possible. If I create an established religion where stem-cell research is part of our practice, then who can argue with that? What about a new religion that only marries gay couples? Just because your religion does not support those beliefs doesn’t mean you can tell others what they can and cannot do. It’s simply not your right. People need to keep their religion to themselves. I will say however that the marriage issue is an easy fix: stop legally calling it marriage and call it a civil union instead. Everyone, under law, should be, “civilly union-ed” and not “married”. Let churches make the marriages. What does this have to do with the Republican party? Traditionally these issues happen to coincide with the Republican party. This is not always the case, but for the most part the argument holds.
3. War is good for the economy, nation-building is not
No matter what anyone else says or how anyone else puts it, the Iraq War is over. It was over years ago. We are no longer fighting a war, we’re trying to keep the peace. What we’re doing in Iraq is nation-building. We’re trying to help Iraqi’s get up on their feet and take care of themselves. There is really no enemy in Iraq, just a bunch of insurgents trying to kick us out. At no point will any of our actions cause this “war” to end. What happens if we do capture Osama Bin Laden? Do you honestly believe terrorism in the Middle East will end once he’s captured? And if he dies… lord only knows what happens when the extremists consider him a martyr. There is no “win” condition. The only win we can accomplish is if Iraq builds itself as a stable country. And that’s not cheap. A real war bolsters the economy by kicking up production, but this occupation of Iraq is draining our resources and killing our men. To claim Iraq is working is mere speculation at best. Should we pull out? Yes. Are we going to feel terrible for the mess and future chaos that will ensue? Yes. Do the Iraqis want us out? Yes. Are we denying the troops victory? We had already won…— Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.217.173.137 ( talk • contribs) 16:35, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
The information on this page is biased against the benefits of Gersons therapy because of its limited sources.
To correct this, additional information needs to be made available to readers (including the no less than 4 documentaries that include patient testamonials with medical records showing resmission of symptoms).
There are no trials with evidence to dispute Gerson therapy efficacy, only lack of evidence to prove it.
Lets let the reader decide. Patient testamonials with medical records are not 'unreliable sources.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Motzingw ( talk • contribs) 17:42, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

The study linked to that I deleted on vegetarianism doesnt talk about vegetarianism, but prescetarianism. Prescetarians eat fish and poultry; they are not vegetarians.
