Thanks for your update on Roylee. How'd you find the page? I have removed all self-referential fringe theories and Original research from the articles you mentioned. He seems to have been very active on Silk Road and related articles. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about that, so I'm not going to pull out his stuff there.

I'm trying to find some confirmation on him and Lenny Moore being brothers. However, I'm old enough to remember when he (Ahmad) was in college and was still Bobby Moore, and I clearly remember him being referred to as Lenny's brother back then. Dale Arnett 13:59, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Opie... I notice that you consistently are posting inaccurate information from resources that are obviously unreliable and incorrect. In regard to the Tee article, you refer to numerous links that have information based on “stories” and not facts. I have contacted the patent office and they verify that there is not a patent dated 1896 or 1892 concerning Golf tees. They do however have a patent dated 1899 filed by a Dr George Grant. I do not understand your willingness to present fraudulent information on the Wikipeida site. Particularly, when it can be easily disproved by contacting the US Patent Office.````JohnnyB67
UPDATE, 19 May 2006: The British golf tee patents dated 1889, 1892, 1896 and 1897, which contradict JohnnyB67's claim that an African-American dentist patented the first golf tee in 1899, do in fact exist (as shown here), so this whole flap was much ado about nothing. --Opie 20:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
From: Patent Enquiry Desk <Patent.Enquiry.Desk@bl.uk> To: [deleted] Subject: Re: Golf Tee Patent Hello [deleted], Thank you for your enquiry on the 4th of January 2004 concerning British patent 3916 of 1892. British patent 3916 of 1892 was applied for on the 29th of February 1892. It was accepted on the 4th of February 1893. The 'Improved Golf Tee' was patented by Mr.Percy Ellis of The Manor House, Wallington, Surrey, England. I hope that this is the information that you were looking for. Regards Mr.Z.Khan
Opie, your statement "You don't honestly believe that the author of the golf tee book is making things up"…. is foolish. Many books and authors present fraudulent and construed information. Some of these authors print information that is researched haphazardly and sometimes not researched at all. This is why reputable authors research and verify the content they use with Agencies that hold the fact-based and documented information. You consistently use the book The Singular History of the Golf Tee by Irwin R. Valenta, along with the website “Scottish Golf History” as fact-based sources. Looking at the website alone I find an abundance of erroneous and inaccurate information and patents. One just for example, is the U.S. patent of Mr. Dalziel in 1896. This patent, is claimed on the site as a “golf tee,” but in actuality it is a device for the game of Tennis and has no relation or bearing on the game of golf. See patent #567,455 This is just one of the flagrant inaccuracies that are included in the links and information you have provided. Another example of a site that has inaccurate information is Pat Ryan Golf timeline. It states that the Bloxsom & Douglas patent originated in 1899. Whether these “inaccuracies” are intentional or not, it is the lack of due diligence of the authors and creators that seems to be the issue. Once corrected information has been verified by a reputable agency as accurate, upon the notification to the necessary parties, the erroneous information should be removed. If it is not, then one is lead to believe that the misinformation by the author or creator is intentional.
All of the U.S. patents can be verified through the U.S. Patent office website. However, you say that the UK office has patents that are unsearchable through their website. It seems very suspicious that all of the patents that are quoted in the book seem to be “unavailable” through the UK patent office website for verification.JohnnyB67 18:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. I have to say, of all the disputes that I've seen on here, I never thought I'd see one about the historical origin of the golf tee.
I would like to suggest that, rather than decrying each other's statements as false, you and Johnny867 include both your statements in the article, and detail the reasons for and against each. DS 18:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The website to which two links in your answer to my question had pointed, now redirects to a very general page on a revised website. I hope I found my way to the corresponding pages and updated the links, thus in the text you had signed. I added a link (2a) from which the left menu gives access to several relevant pages, in particular 2b that I assume to be like the original links (2) and (6). You may wish to verify / edit. Thanks to your help, I finally started to modify the article though I've still a bit of work to do. SomeHuman 2006-07-11 19:29 (UTC)

Hi. In response to your question about Ibn Firnas' "ten minute" flight in the Glider article, I was not the one who originally added the statement about his "ten minute" flight. I just left it there at the time I last edited the article. I've searched online and it appears to be from a The Independant article, which I've just cited in the Glider article. As for those two references you mentioned earlier, I did obtain them from the David Tschanz article you mentioned but I forgot to mention that article itself at the time, and so I've just added it now. I haven't found those two references you mentioned either online (though I haven't yet looked in a library) but I assume they would generally agree with him inventing a glider aswell. If you cannot find two references online or in a library however, then you can remove them if you want. Jagged 85 20:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
