Pavel Alexandrov
Where does it site exactly that he was considered a homosexual on that page? I'm try to verify because it seems a little off. -- Zac  Bowling  (user 06:26, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Upper-right corner, second full paragraph, second sentence. Or you could search the PDF file for "homosexual", which appears only once.  —Dominus (talk) 06:35, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah cool. Thought I had to pay to read it :-) Caught my eye on vandal patrol for a math article mentioning homosexuality :-) -- Zac  Bowling  (user 14:49, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I can send you the full PDF if you like. Thanks for your vigilant anti-vandal patrolling. —Dominus (talk) 15:07, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Harry Truman Article
Hi,

I agree with your points about people adding wrongly referenced, revisionist POV nonsense. I support your decision to remove that section. If you need me to support you on this, drop me a post. Cheers! Meishern (talk) 13:52, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Overkill


This actually is NOT with in the scope of the page, because this page talks about the story, not the biography herself. I've added this information onto the bio. If we had biographical data on every story article about the author, the articles would become unfocused. And long. It is arbitrary to decide what information to include regards to author information on story articles. This information does not belong on the story because it is long winded.174.3.123.220 (talk) 08:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that it's unnecessary to mention that she was Scots, but I think her long residency in India is relevant and important for understanding her relationship to the book. Let's take the issue up on the talk page.  —Dominus (talk) 16:38, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Percy Alexander MacMahon
Hi. Thank you for your attention to the copyright concerns in this article. :) I've blanked it for the moment, as we're not supposed to display the text in question until the matter is cleared through OTRS. I did a system search for the e-mail and did not find it. I searched for "Percy Alexander MacMahon", "MacMahon" and Garcia, created within the last 12 days. Is there a different term that might help me find it? If the letter used any of those terms it may have been lost and may need to be resent. In that case, please drop me a line when you resend it and I'll go take a look for it. We can backlog a week or more in that e-mail queue, and there's no reason to wait for it. :)

Meanwhile, I'll relist the article at CP. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I just forwarded the permission again, with subject "Percy Alexander MacMahon". —Mark Dominus (talk) 01:46, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Got it! Sorry for the delay; I was out of town this weekend. :) I've checked all the necessary boxes and filed the papers and yadayada to clear the article. Appreciate your diligence there! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:41, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Likewise. Thanks very much.  —Mark Dominus (talk) 14:13, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. -  F ASTILY  (T ALK ) 03:28, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the guideline info. I plan to give the Truman issue another go, now that I have some idea of proper protocol - once I get a bit of free time (ha).DoctorJoeE (talk) 13:28, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Note
Hi, I deleted our little discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography so someone else can "properly" respond to your request. Good luck and best regards. Hekerui (talk) 20:25, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, and thanks for adding Mabel Lang to the Deaths in 2010 page, which I would not have thought of. —Mark Dominus (talk) 23:22, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
