RE:Problems with persistent vandalism
Hi BlackThor, well the IP in question is not active enough to be blocked at this time. Also, the IP's edits may not be blatant vandalism but good faith removals of what they believe are vanity entries. I believe personalized message over a warning template about how removals of material that could be contested should be discussed on article talk pages would be a good idea. However, if the IP continues to unilaterally remove names within a 24 hr time frame (not sporadically over the past month), try reporting to WP:AIV. At the moment though, the IP's edits do not appear to be blatant vandalism to me.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 00:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Victoria Jackson-Stanley
Yeah, you are counting the wrong thing. (It's easy enough to do) What is counted is the number of characters (including spaces) in the text of the article as it appears when you're not editing it. See Template talk:Did you know for more information. Thingg &#8853; &#8855; 22:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Great job with the article. Hook verified. Looking forward to seeing it on the Main Page! btw, I'm will always do my best to help you if you request it. You're not going to bother me no matter how many times you ask, so always feel free to ask. Regards. Thingg &#8853; &#8855;  00:25, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Nat Williams
Thanks for the message on my talk page. Please note that I thought about PRODing the Nat Williams article for deletion. Because there is a hint of notability as the first African-American sheriff in the parish, I felt it would have been wrong to PROD it. Since I was not sure of his notability, I felt it was correct to tag it. In particular, he doesn't satisfy WP:N and WP:LEA. And I am not sure what the "Controversies" section has to do with him; he wasn't in office then and since he's only been in office for a month it's too early to tell if he is turning things around. You have made some interesting additions to the article. However, I am still not convinced of notability. Therefore, I am leaving the tag. Let the Wikimunity as a whole decide if it should stay. Thanks. Truthanado (talk) 23:35, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Go ahead and DYK it. I see nothing in WP:DYK that prevents an article with a questionable-notability tag from becoming a DYK article. In fact, the DYK nomination will get a lot of people to review the article and there should be a quick determination of notability. If the article is truly notable and worthy of DYK, the tag will be removed. Go for it. Good luck. Truthanado (talk) 00:31, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I see it didn't take long for someone to remove the tag. Truthanado (talk) 03:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Ambre Anderson
Hi BlackThor! How are u? Yeah I came across an article in a magazine a little while ago and it was talking about America's image of models. I remember her being mentioned as one of the people that was on the subject just basically stating she has native heritage in her family however, most people would call her black even when she told people of being of Native American heritage as well. It was an interesting article.Mcelite (talk) 23:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hmm. It's been a little while. To be honest it might have been jet magazine. I wish I kept that thing I like learning from those kind of articles. I'll see if one of my friends knows what magazine that was printed in it was a little while ago.Mcelite (talk) 04:00, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

"Bilskirnir is the hall of the god Thor, a Gateway laptop is the vehicle by which he edits." That's brilliant. --JayHenry (talk) 05:52, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Template:BlackThor/DYK
Hi BlackThor. I moved Template:BlackThor/DYK to "User:BlackThor/DYK" since user templates normally are maintained in user space. I similarly moved User:Marylandstater's template. -- Suntag  ☼  21:03, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Adam Birch GA review
Hi there! I'm the nominator of Adam Birch at WP:GAN, which you signed up to review well over a week ago. I notice you've been inactive since then, so I was wondering if you would object to me removing your name as reviewer, so that someone else can take over? I will give you a few days to respond to this message, but I have been waiting for a review for three months, so I apologise if I seem a little hasty. Thanks, and please respond if you are online in the next few days. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 01:03, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'd like to apologise again for being so impatient, patience really isn't one of my strong points. :( I do hope you won't let my impatience put you off reviewing other articles though. We really need reviewers! Thanks and apologies once again. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 03:38, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Are you around?
I'm thinking of doing a GA review for Saqib Ali, which you nominated, but I see that you've been inactive for the last month. The involvement of the nominator is obviously crucial in getting an article up to GA standards, and I don't want to undertake the review unless you're going to be around and involved. Are you?

Disambiguation link notification for March 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maryland gubernatorial election, 2014, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Craig Rice (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
