thread_title: Important

message: Hi Wham- Please notice that the material in bold was from “Candy Lightner: Founder of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).“ The Wikipedia entry is clearly sourced from that page and indicating so does not constitute spam. To the contrary, it is proper documentation. Its also important in correcting the assertion added on 31-12-06 that the Wikipedia entry is “Based primarily on material on MADD's official website.” In reality, the MADD site has virtually nothing about Candy Lightner and recently even denied that she was the founder o the organization.

thread_title: Source verification

message: I've removed some of the statements that were still unsourced, per WP:BLP. If you add them back, make sure there's a reliable source to refer to, and add that source. Also, sources quoting another source don't work very well, please try to get hold of the original (via archives, for instances). It's a lot more work, but relying on others to interpret and quote other sources has proved problematic in the past. --JoanneB 10:32, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Lightner went to American River College?  Isn't that the college where they had that Black Chalks American College Testing Service deletion scandal?  She was there years before it happened, but things tend to cumulate.  Pease don't confuse the two issues, both separated by many years.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.148.215 (talk) 03:38, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Based on WP:BLP, I have removed the external link to a potsdam.edu website funded by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. Although David J. Hanson may be separately notable, his articles on this website may not be, especially given the website's disclaimer as to other funding and content. While some of Hanson's ongoing POV edits here have been removed over the 3 years since he created the article, the external link was obviously not to an objective article or accurately described. If the link goes back in, it needs a correct description and disclaimer, along with other links that provide more objective info, but I wanted to discuss it here first, since there are a number of other links to this website and articles throughout Wikipedia.

message: I had reverted it... but I undid my revert and let the rollback stand.  I don't generally approve, as there was some good stuff there,  I think, but... it was ugly. User talk:Unfriend12 05:16, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huge rollback 

message: Much essay content was added, and some quotes were changed.  No new sources were added, some were removed.  I have reverted the edit.  If anyone supports it, please join the discussion.  Interestingly, much of it matched the content removed in the rollback.User talk:Unfriend12 02:55, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Editor continues to remove all sources, add much unsourced essay content, add a quote in the references section (without any indication that it was said by the subject), and change a widely published quote.  I have reverted the edit again.User talk:Unfriend12 22:21, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Much essay content added - I removed it 

message: They appear to have reworked their PDFs... for example, Cari seems to be covered at  - and this may or may not replace some of the other sources.  Leaving the dead links in.User talk:Unfriend12 04:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Can you please explain why this bio page was deleted? And why the only reference to her name, Candace or Candy Lightner is redirected to the MADD page?  Also, can a new bio page be created, not redirected to MADD? Wdawnw (talk) 19:00, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
