Hi, I appreciate all the work you've been doing on adding new articles about Washington state senators. Please try to add the information in a more enyclopedic style and format, if you can. Here are some links to help you... -- Scientizzle 22:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop dumping in articles
Mvradian, please stop dumping unformatted content into articles, especially the articles on members of the Washington State Legislature. You have (perhaps unwittingly?) vandalized at least one article (Ken Jacobsen) by erasing valuable content and replacing it with your unformatted, out-of-context dumps.
Also, since you appear to be taking your information verbatim from some website, I wonder if you're aware that Wikipedia is supposed to be a free (GFDL'ed) resource, and as such, we are legally unable to accept things you've copied from other copyrighted websites.
Please stop dumping, or if you're using a bot to do it, please turn off your bot.
Thank you.

- Please stop "fixing" my content. You are posting incorrect information. Thank you for your cooperation.--mvaradian
- After a few more minutes of perusal, I'm convinced that you are not acting in good faith. Lisa Brown - Washington State Senator and Lisa Brown, Politician — neither of which are appropriate titles for English Wikipedia articles — contain the same dumped information. --Quuxplusone 22:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've gone through all the edits...each of the new pages is for Democratic Washington State legislators. Maybe the info is coming straight off a dem site? -- Scientizzle 23:05, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- PLEASE STOP EDITING THE CONTENT OF THESE ENTRIES. I work for the Senators for whom I'm adding content. Because I'm doing 26 at a time, I'm fixing format problems in different passes through the pages. I most certainly am acting in good faith, and do not appreciate your baseless assertions otherwise. Leave the content alone, I have more current, approved language and photos that I will be adding. Thank you for your cooperation.--mvaradian

[edit] Your bizarre email
There's absolutely nothing you can do about other editors changing contents or posting articles on Washington State Senators. Wikipedia content is public domain, and you know that. Tell your legal counsel the same. You will not be able to use WP as a tool for promoting anyone's agenda - and I will insist on editing any article I come across to bring it into compliance with wikipedia standards, absolutely no matter what your legal counsel says! - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 01:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- It is unfortunate that you find my response bizarre. The fact remains that I inadvertently placed copyrighted material on Wikipedia and it needs to be removed. Mvaradian 19:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
