I tried the suggestion above and am still blocked the code I found is pasted below. Thanks (Doctorfun (talk) 13:44, 19 May 2009 (UTC))

Hello Doctorfun, you are unfortunately sharing the same network as a particularly tenacious banned wikivandal, however since you are clearly not the vandal in question I have granted you an exemption to the block. See WP:IPBE for the details. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Luther B. Bridgers
Dr. Fun, take a look at the talk page for Luther B. Bridgers. It is a common misconception that he wrote "He Keeps Me Singing" after his wife and three children died in a house fire on March 26, 1911. Truth is, he wrote it in 1909---and the music is based on a secular hit song of 1903, "Melody of Love" by Hans Engelmann. See link for youself---and check out Engelmann's song on Youtube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.163.80 (talk) 00:55, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Looks good - thanks Doctorfun (talk) 03:12, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Doctor, Wikipedia footnote style says that we leave multiple footnotes separate instead of combining them with a "see also" comment. You might want to read WP:REF. Otherwise, good work on the article. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll remember it in the future. Doctorfun (talk)

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:

 * Not a copyright problem. I was only just getting started on the article when you put up the notice. I'm continuing to work on the piece. Please consider removing the notice. Thanks (Doctorfun (talk) 03:17, 4 February 2012 (UTC))
 * Okay. I have declined its deletion.
 * Fair enough, I admit I jumped the gun on that one. The patrolling admin (who makes the ultimate decision on whether to speedily delete the article or not) decided not to delete it anyway, so no harm done.
 * In future, if you're working on an article that isn't complete yet, try placing a tag { { underconstruction } } (without the space in between the brackets) on that article or creating a subpage of your userpage and creating the article there first. How to do so is explained here. Then, once you've completed the article to an acceptable standard, you can create the article properly and copy everything from the subpage to the main article. That way, you're less likely to leave half-finished articles lying around, which other users may mark for deletion. Happy editing! --Yasht101 (talk) 04:43, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Good idea. Thanks for the help (Doctorfun (talk) 04:45, 4 February 2012 (UTC)}
 * Always welcome and if u need any kind of help then feel free to ask me. --Yasht101 (talk) 05:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ernie Steury


The article Ernie Steury has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Are you still working on J. Waskom Pickett?
I fixed the article and archived about half of the references. He is also the great-grandfather of actress Laura Harrier. Factfanatic1 (talk) 19:59, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
