February 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Robert B. Parker has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://therapsheet.blogspot.com/2010/01/looking-for-robert-b-parker-fond.html, http://therapsheet.blogspot.com/2010/01/looking-for-robert-b-parker-fond_25.html (matching the regex rule \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 15:37, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I reviewed the links (I didn't add them, I just corrected their form so they worked). They link to rememberances of the page's subject in a well-established, often-cited blog and do not contain any material that should cause copyright issues. Sepreece (talk) 15:48, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Chicago Spire

Hello Sepreece, With all due respect I have from a number of sites discovered that the project has been infact cancelled. In fact it has been cancelled for quite some time (early 2010). Shelbourne can say the project is up and running etc. when in reality it's not. The project has been cancelled due to major setbacks and it is nothing more than a hole in the ground. You have added no sufficient evidence to back your side up, infact you have removed the "cancelation" section but have kept the references that clearly state that the Chicago Spire has been cancelled. Until there is proper up to date sufficient evidence backing your side of this issue, The Chicago Spire is a defunct project. I will be reverting your edit as there is no references supporting your edits. Oh and before you do edit something may you please contact the editor who edited that section that you want removed, or mention it in the discussion page, or better yet read the discussion page to find out whats going on, instead of using up precious time :)

PS: I don't mean to sound 'harsh' it's just that you need evidence, thats what mainly counts :)

Oh and if there is anything else you would like to discuss further, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Thankyou. MelbourneStar1 (talk) 08:13, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

I will be unfortunately reporting you because you are wasting a lot of time reverting edits by me, and making the articles wrong. I have provided a number of references to support my argument, whilst you have'nt. I have tried to be reasonablie, unfortunately I don't get the same back. If you did extensive research like I have done, you would obviosly kknow the spire is a defunct project MelbourneStar1 (talk) 00:16, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I take back what I said above. I havent and wont report you. I understand why you are reverting edits by me that are saying that the Chicago Spire was cancelled. You I suspect live somewhere near the project or in the USA... And if i were in your shoes I would be doing my best to help keep a skyscraper from not happening too. look in other words I am just saying, lets keep everything at a truce, and be a little more professional about things. We don't have to agree with eachothers edits, but what matters in the end is the proof we supply etc. I am not saying news cant come out anymore for the chicago spire, I am just supplying evidence that is currently backing up my argument. Thanks. MelbourneStar1 (talk) 03:13, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Tim Johnson

He's still in office. Terms of Congressmen don't end until January, even if they don't meet again until then. As it is, there will certainly be a lame duck session and he'll have some more votes to cast before his political corpse can be poked. HuskyHuskie (talk) 03:45, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to DuSable Park (Chicago) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
