Transit of Venus
As noted on that articles talk page, some of the facts in it are.. just plain wrong. There's no other way to put it. Your main point about it being lost for 100 years is.. just.. wrong. ? SousaFan88 (talk) 09:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Adminship
Hey. I've seen you editing for a while and thought you would be a great candidate for adminship. I'd gladly nom you at RfA if you're interested, let me know if you are. Wizardman 20:33, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Barack Obama
I noticed you are keeping an eye on this article, so maybe you can answer my question. Practically everyone, including Wikipedia, describes Obama as African-American. Isn't it more accurate to call him biracial? Calling him African-American dismisses his white heritage, and ironically he was raised by his white mother and grandmother when his black father abandoned the family. Thank you for your response. 209.247.22.164 (talk) 19:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Barbara West (TV news anchor)
In response to your question, yes the article is now somewhat balanced. However, it started out as an attack page on Ms West for daring to question Senator Biden. Undue weight is given in the article to the one interview. I voted for Obama and I don't think his supporters maintaining an enemies list of hostile reporters is a very good idea. It didn't work well for Nixon. Steve Dufour (talk) 18:03, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Beatle's Template
Hi there, I "fixed" your edit to the Beatle's project banner. Please don't tranclude the subscription template anywhere but the project page, as it causes pages to be incorrectly categorized. This category is what the bot uses to run. If you have any more questions feel free to ask me or bring it up here. Thanks! §hep  •   ¡Talk to me!  22:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Dear Dendodge,

As I am sure you can see, 600 edits is not going to take less than 4 days. See My Log and look when I created my account. I do apologise if I am being snappish at you though, I am just irritated! I even have Rollback Rights, From,

 * If the minimum is 4 Days, then how long do I have to wait?

Beatles Newsletter
Thanks for your efforts to revive this. I think there may be a technical glitch of some sort with the issue navigation appearing on user copies... It should not appear on delivered copies. When I used to deliver the newsletter what I beleive I did was get the newsletter to the final archival form, then delete the issue-nav invocation, deliver via subst: while in that form, then revert back one edit. (see the edit history of some of the older ones to see what I mean, for example the Revision history of WikiProject The Beatles/Outreach/Newsletter/Issue 009) That template should be within noinclude, but that isn't sufficient when it's been substed onto a user's page. I'll watch here for answers, please let me know if I can clarify this at all. And thanks again! ++Lar: t/c 14:00, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * (Refactored from User_talk:Lar per my policy) I noticed that too, but I have come up with a solution (whether it works or not, I don't know). Basically, wrapping it in   and   tags in the newsletter template itself should work.  I'll try it now, and it will hopefully fix all future issues. Den dodge  Talk Contribs 15:29, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The way I did it, just not even having it there, then reverting, is pretty easy though. Well, if it works, bravo. I'll watch here for answers. ++Lar: t/c 16:38, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Damn! It didn't seem to work. Den sock | Dendodge in public 12:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Help desk
Hi Dendodge. Please be careful when using templates at the help desk. I refer to your edit here where you incorrectly advised a user to go to the reference desk in response to a perfectly valid help desk query. Help desk users struggle enough as it is to try and find the most appropriate place for their query without having templates erroneously thrown at them.

Rlevse Interview
