- Please stop removing content from Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Shanel 18:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Deliberate vandalism is -not- ok. Stop removing large-sections of the John Doolittle article. Continuing to do so might get you banned at some point. ---J.Smith 06:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't remove anything that is fair and unbiased. I have made repeated attempts to make mild edits and additions to this page to change it from an anti-Doolittle screed to a balanced Wikipedia entry. These were repeatedly deleted. Perhaps it will be best to revert to a basic bio, and let someone more balanced than the little anti-Doolittle crew write the entry. - Overacker

- Look, I like Doolittle. I've had the opportunity to meet him once. Nice and personable person. This isn't about making Doolittle look bad, nor am I part of some kind of anti-doolittle crew. This is about creating an arcuate and comprehensive article. To do so, we need to talk about the good and the bad. That would be the definition of balanced by the way. REMOVEING HUGE SECTIONS OF TEXT IS NOT A MILD EDIT! Stop doing it. It -IS- vandalism. However, I like some of your other edits. You worded things a bit better then was there and I appreciate that. Oh, by the way, you can use "~~~~" to sign your messages. It creates a signature like mine. ---J.Smith 07:27, 10 March 2006 (UTC)-->
Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to John Doolittle. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 05:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Do not make them. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that you may be blocked for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing.
