[edit] Some Moron

Decided to add him under the famous births section. Just doing my part on Wikipedia by removing it.

[edit] Valid Name Removal

Hello. I added Liam Gloster to the births section. I did a report about him and the magnetized car idea, which I originally read about in a magazine publication.

[edit] Chamillionare

There is absolutely no reason to have the UK release of his album in the Events section. It is not significant in any way. There fore, I will remove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shealer (talk • contribs) 15:48, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Who exactly is "1991 - Alexander Smith, Israeli spokesman for the discrimination of the Jews" listed under births? It sounds like it could be someone adding themselves just for fun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.151.199 (talk) 00:57, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is there a way to stop static IPs from editing a page?

63.96.144.18 seems to have a history of vandalism and nothing but. I'm getting too old and tired for this kind of stuff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pakopako (talk • contribs) 15:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC) (Ack, another "sign" I'm slowing down)Pakopako 21:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I know what you mean. The topic has been debated to death. Always comes out in favor of open editing.--Work permit 02:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
