Discussion about the early closure of afds
Hello, I noticed you have recently closed AfD debate(s) early and would like to direct you to a discussion currently in progress at the administrators noticeboard here relevent to the early closures of AfDs. Thankyou and happy editing! Sorry if you are already aware of this discussion. Foxy Loxy Pounce! 02:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

2009 Detroit Lions season
Hey can you please protect 2009 Detroit Lions season indefinitely? The vandalism has already begun and I think unless the Lions win the Super Bowl this year it'll never end.TomCat4680 (talk) 23:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the protection but I think it'll need to be longer than that. It'll be years until the Lions gain some respect from non-fans after 0-16. I'll keep in touch with you.TomCat4680 (talk) 04:52, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Cool tool of da month
I forgot.... From this discussion, we get the box on the right - cool eh? :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:39, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Lamb's Chapel
None that jump immediately to mind, but I'm sure I can find subsequent opinions and some stuff in Lexis/WL; are you looking mainly for additional support beyond the text of the case describing it, or just general background? - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 21:48, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art museum photo weekend
Just wanted to remind you that our events at the Met Museum and the Brooklyn Museum are this weekend. Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 14:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

RE:Inchoate offense
I reverted what I had believed to be vandalism in article Inchoate offense, but looking at the changes again, the edits did not appear to be vandalism so I reverted myself. Hope that clears up confusion! - Fastily (talk) 22:59, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Barney Frank
Bearian reverted my funny edit to Barney Frank's page. I believe that my description of Frank's Physical characteristics was correct (he looks like a bumhole). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.72.251.78 (talk) 22:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Please look at his mouth, Bearian. It looks like a bung-hole. And if you've ever heard Barney Frank speak then you know that his speech is very similar to the sound that a bumhole makes when it is releasing methane.

You know he looks like a butthole.

YOU KNOW. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.72.251.78 (talk) 00:45, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

User:South Bay and Cost-U-Less Insurance
Is this the article that was previously deleted, and impelled the user to start marking companies like GEICO and State Farm Insurance for deletion out of spite? Or was it L.A Insurance? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 09:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, feeding the trolls or the squirrels is futile. But watching them is important. :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 04:13, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Detroit Lions
Please semi-protect Detroit Lions indefinitely, it was just heavily vandalized. Also do the same for 2008 Detroit Lions season and 2009 Detroit Lions season. Also please permanently ban Linken1325 who was excessively vandalizing the main article.TomCat4680 (talk) 02:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks alot. I moved the vandalism warning to the guy's talk page, I must have put in on his main page by mistake. I'm really sick of all this vandalism to the Lions' articles and I really appreciate your help in making Wiki a better place. Have another cookie.TomCat4680 (talk) 02:35, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Linguistic names for homelessness
Hey Brian. I moved the cultural names for homelessness back into the main article on Homelessness where it's been growing since we started that section up some years ago. It may seem thin on importance, but how cultures call a homeless person is quite revealing especially when it's not so simple. The editor ( User:Centonup ) who moved it out, into a new sub-article, I believe did so with an odd motivation. He's a recent editor (January 2009) and his general collection of edits might be considered worth review in context ( Special:Contributions/Centonup ). If the community-at-large doesn't want the section at all, then so be it. But it's been in there for years now and many contributed to it. I definitely think the sub-article should be zapped as it's orphaned now as it should be. Best Wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 04:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Brian. Thanks for your kindest reply. I agree with your disposition on the matter. Best wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 17:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Assessment for Energy Law
As you asked, I have assessed your article on Energy law and left some notes on the talk page. Hope I was of help. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 19:02, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I just wish someone would leave the same on my own article, honesty always gets the best results as far as I'm concered. Glad it was useful as well, the article has real potential and I'd love to see it expanded, by yourself especially. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 17:57, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Isaac Newton in popular culture
no problem, i enjoyed taking the poetry challenge (first Pope, then Sheenagh Pugh) to an extreme. pohick (talk) 22:25, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Sourcing
Regarding this restoration, the source isn't the New York Times article itself, but a book that unfortunately isn't available online. For a quote from the NYT it should probably be sourced to the actual article, particularly for an assertion of that kind that seems controversial. Is it from an editorial or an article? I don't know what reasoning the anon used for its removal and it made me raise an eyebrow as well. But bipartisanship isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Barney Frank. As it seemed a strange bit to include and perhaps undue weight, I let its removal go. I'm not sure what value it adds except as a bit of puffery, but maybe others see it differently. Regardless I think the sourcing needs improvement. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:09, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Block request
Hi an IP address of 75.185.160.125 has removed the reference list from List of current Major League Baseball announcers 4 times and they have been warned about it repeatedly. Please block them from editing. Also please semi-protect the article.TomCat4680 (talk) 12:45, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

List of DirecTV channels
Hi 72.92.4.244 is repeatedly vandalising List of DirecTV channels. Please ban this IP address and semi-protect the page indefinitely, since they have repeatedly targeted it.TomCat4680 (talk) 18:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for blocking the vandal. Please semi-protect List of DirecTV channels too.TomCat4680 (talk) 20:20, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

BabyFirstTV possible sock puppet IP vandalism

 * - IP vandalism, possible WP:sock puppet of 4.227.106.12, vandalism of BabyFirstTV. Both IP's are changing the year the network was founded from 2003 (clearly stated on the channel's official site and referenced with an inline citation) to 1982 (obviously untrue, no reference cited) without explanation. Please block both IP's and semi-protect the article. TomCat4680 (talk) 11:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Comments out of the blue...
I do not understand the purpose of this comment of yours. Could you please fill me in? Thanks! Xenophrenic (talk) 20:50, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Diddl AFD nom
You've indicated that you think Diddl should be kept, but only presented agreement with other editors as your reason for doing so. I've been able to show that all the references provided by the other editors proposing to keep the article are trivial mentions in articles about other subjects. Would you consider revisiting the nomination, reading what I've written, and if you still think it should be kept, explaining in more detail why? Jonobennett (talk) 23:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

in regards Articles for deletion/E-Mail Letter
Did you have a look at Email, an existing article which covers this information in great detail? I would have voted a "keep" myself, but the subject already has an article... longer, more detailed, and better sourced.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:23, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

The Asti Spumante Code
I want to know why all of my work on The Asti Spumante Code has been challenged barely 30 seconds after the article has been created. Have you even read the article yet? Crablogger (talk) 15:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I would have thought the fact that it is one of the first parodies of The Da Vinci Code was signficant enough. Nonetheless, I'll do what I can, and I'll thank you not to be so hasty to delete an article before it's had a chance to be tidied up. Crablogger (talk) 15:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Much appreciated Bearian. I removed the deletion proposal hoping that someone like yourself would be kind enough to make the article more than just a definition. I'll add to it myself as well when I get a bit more time (exams..!). MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 12:42, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Gillian Hiscott
I noticed you took part in a deletion debate upon me, and are deleting items on me which in fact, especially with regards to Marie Corelli, whose work I have been promoting have been preserved under the legacy heading, watched and edited by several administrators, who I will be contacting for advice. I feel the deletion was unjustified. I am a playwright, with several classic adaptations and plays published by Cressrelles and Jasper Publishing, used by professional companies and neither of the these publishing companies are connected to me nor vanity publishers. Also my novel has been in top 20s on the Waterstones bestelling list for it’s category, still there (genre WW2). I don’t believe people are thoroughly checking information before deleting. The so called Ghits mention that most of mine are Wikis is incorrect, if anyone cares to count. On the first only 2 out of the 10 are wikis, and on the second only 1. If you are going to delete – please be sure of you’re facts first. (Gillhiscott (talk) 14:09, 22 March 2009 (UTC))

I quite agree. But the article, now retrieved as a copy and visible on a userpage wasn't written by me. I don't know who wrote it. I will add further info and sources as I remember and find them. (Gillhiscott (talk) 17:33, 23 March 2009 (UTC))

Gillian Hiscott
I apologise - it isn't my intention to be disrespectful to anyone or the general rules of the site. I have contributed to the discussion in the hope of exonerating the scrapes I get myself into. (Gillhiscott (talk) 11:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC))

Deletion of page of Muhammad Abubakar Durrani
Dear sir, I don't understand why the article of Muhammad Abubakar Durrani has been deleted without more discussions when there is still trust that the article is meets the criteria of Wikipedia. (Ali Mohammad Khilji (talk) 27th March 2009 (UTC))
