Hello. Before making potentially controversial edits, such as those you made to Mel Gibson, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Also, make sure to use an informative edit summary for such edits. Otherwise, people might consider your edits to be vandalism. Thank you. --Jaysweet 16:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello there Kingstowngalway! Please note that we are currently discussing whether the quotes that you blanked should be included. If you would like to participate in the discussion, please come to the talk page, but do not unilaterally change the quotes without making your opinion known. Thanks! --Jaysweet 16:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mel Gibson citations

Thanks for the citations. Next time you add one, please put the citation between <ref>..</ref> tags. That way the system will turn it into a proper footnote.

For example: <ref>Mel Gibson; Living Dangerously, Page 8, by Wensley Clarkson</ref>

Thanks again.

I see that you've been trying to get the footnotes in. I'm afraid you haven't yet quite got it right. Please look carefully at the example I gave: you don't need the curly braces {{..}}, only the ref tags: open: <ref>and closing:</ref>. Thanks Fwend 23:57, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Topcliffe

Do you have a source for the assertion that he had a reputation as a "deranged psychopath"? I've no difficulty in noting that he was a notorious torturer, but this is laying it on too heavy.--Shtove 10:41, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indigenous Australian bushrangers

• I am not sure if Yagan is correctly categorised in Category:Indigenous Australian Bushrangers. Bushranger has some commotations that I don't think sit well with a warrior resisting European settlement. Not sure how the definition excludes him, but just starting to open up the discussion. Mary Ann Bugg or Musquito (bushranger) are correctly classified in my view, but I don't think it is a correct categorisation for Midgegooroo, Tullamareena or Jandamarra either.--Golden Wattle ^talk 00:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your request for citation

[1]: what in this paragraph are you asking for a citation for? There are probably 10 or 12 statements in the paragraph, and you didn't clarify on the talk page. - Jmabel | Talk 05:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Salvado

Nice work creating this page. For some reason the catholic categories needed the term 'roman catholic'. I am not sure why, but I'll bet there was some heated debate on that terminology. It seems to be a rather anglocentric pov, but I know little about these things. Red links are like red rags to some bullish editors, they indicate a non-existent page. I think one or two are a good idea if I find something that ought to exist (imho). Red linked user pages tend to attract attention from critics, you should consider editing you own, even a single character makes it blue. Keep reading the help pages and creating needed articles, this one had been listed for creation at WP:WA. Regards - Fred 09:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
