Thanks for help with Pizzo Coca
I am trying to get it up to 5,000 characters so the DYK nom I made earlier today can be evaluated. Thanks for your additions. --Morenooso (talk) 03:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's actually just 1500 minimum and the article is currently 1583 or so, so it should be ok. You may want to check my addition and correct any wikilinks, since I did a Google translation from the Italian Wiki with my own cleanup that may or may not be perfect.

 * Thanks, you're right! I have several citations I am working on to add, citation by citation. It might take me two hours to get it looking indexed like the Alps but I want this to be pretty. --Morenooso (talk) 03:47, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * When you said you did a Google trans, I missed the part about the Italian wiki because I provided several Google translations on the article talkpage. Just before I went to bed last night, I flipped through several open tabs looking for a trans that I thought you were looking it. It wasn't until I came to your talkpage this morning that I now know where that passage came from. I sourced the first part and will work on the second paragraph's sourcing today. --Morenooso (talk) 12:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:List of banned users
IMO, I hope you could please stop meddling with the abovementioned page, other than correcting obvious grammatical and syntax error, we should really leave the job of updating the list to an Official SysOp (aka ADMINISTRATOR). Thoughts? --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 02:06, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your note. I disagree with you. Sysops/Administrators are just regular editors with additional tools. Everyone is encouraged to edit and improve Wikipedia, and I'm not "meddling", as you put it. Burpelson AFB (talk) 02:12, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It actually seems rather strange to me that you even noticed my edits there, since I can't see where you've edited that page at all going back to April of 2008... I'm assuming you monitor recent changes? In any case, I fixed several incorrect entries there and eliminated a section that really has no business there, so even if you disagreed with me grouping temporarily banned users into a new main head, there was no reason for a blind reversion.

 * Hello, please keep the discussion on the page where the original message was left on, that would make following the discussion easier as well as to discuss/reply (FYI, I do watchlist it after I've left the message). Another thing, I understand your view but my view is still as such, and I stand to be corrected, that we should not be meddling with that list no matter what our noble intention might be, it is simply not in the best interest to be doing the job of an Official SysOp when we could best put our effort into an actual article page instead. But I repeat myself here. Anyway, I'm ending this discussion here as is, everything else is your own choice. Toodles~! --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 03:44, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand that you have that viewpoint, but it's a mistaken one. An "Official SysOp", as you put it, is just a regular editor with some extra tools, they have no special standing here that means only they can edit certain pages. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Burpelson AFB (talk) 03:53, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
