Redirects

Welcome to wikipedia! Just to tell you about redirects... this -- #REDIRECT [[Institute on the Constitution]] -- is the proper format. Also, while redirects are great, it's as good to do them to articles that don't exist yet. Write the main article, and then redirect all you like (that is, all logical choices people might make when looking for the main article). If you have questions, just ask me on my talk page. --Zantastik 03:39, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pat Corcoran

You included in this article the claim: "Corcoran began his campaign speaking of the need to defeat the extreme conservatism of Republican incumbent and former Constitution Party member Delegate Don Dwyer." Someone claiming to be Corcoran's son or daughter is challenging that; can you back it up? Unless you can, the sentence will ahve to be removed from the article.

Politician stubs you have been creating

I've noticed that you have been creating many politician stubs, namely from Anne Arundel County. The facts seem to be accurate, but the stubs are not very encyclopedic in that most every sentence is put into a new paragraph and they all begin with the person's last name (For example: Kyle did this. Kyle did that. Kyle is currently doing this.).

Consider using some transitional phrases to make the articles flow better. Thanks. --tomf688^(talk) 17:12, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Dickdexter! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 709 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
