Gatorade shower
As a comment to your comment regarding my edit of Gatorade shower, which read "please double-check what the reference actally says"...

I actually did read that the event in question was actually a Gatorade cooler filled with water, but then I re-read the article here on Wikipedia, and it says "dumping a cooler full of liquid (most commonly Gatorade mixed with ice)" rather than just Gatorade, so I felt it wasn't required. It is also covered in more detail in the article for the coach. However, I appreciate the correction.

Happy editing! Jo7hs2 (talk) 03:34, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Alpha Delta
Alpha Delta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega of the Philippines is San Sebastian College. However it does appear to have a Sorority chapter as well as a Fraternity chapter at San Sebastian College (at least both have founding dates according to http://apo-mu.tripod.com/id5.html . So I personally, wouldn't count it as vandalism, just massively confused. I thought about adding something to specifically say that these are for the United States, but that is already there.

 * Yeah, after checking the list on apo.org, I sorted by school name and couldn't find the school. Upon further thought, that's what I figured.  It's likely that the editor's first language isn't English.  Henrymrx (talk) 15:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I also think the IP address may be used by multiple people. If you look at contribs by that IP address, there are a lot of reasonable ones and some real vandalism for Tau Gamma Phi (I think, I remember it was one of the Philipines Fraternities)Naraht (talk) 16:09, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Improper warnings
Very cute, but wholly inappropriate. If you mistake me for a new editor unfamiliar with policy, I assure you that I am not. If you think that I removed the comments of another editor, you're completely incorrect. If you're still confused, please see this explanation left at the time I removed the template. If you're simply being tendentious, I suggest you refrain from leaving bad faith notices on others' talk pages. Thanks. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 15:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Point taken -- the voracity with which some editors at the RFC have tried to turn this into a personal confrontation has considerably shortened my fuse, which caused some collateral damage. My apologies for coming across harshly, as this was obviously just a case of miscommunication.  Thanks for taking the time to respond, and for striking the notice.  :)  //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 16:09, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my mistake
Thanks for fixing my mistake in the [A Wizard of Earthsea] article. I had read the books but it was a long time ago and I guess the movie stuck in my mind more. Glad you caught my mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Caidh (talk • contribs) 23:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Matt Sanchez
There's a lack of balance and a lot of bias on the Matt Sanchez article. They have him listed as a blogger, when he writes hardnews for Foxnews.com 119.59.82.19 (talk) 10:27, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Fascinating. So, according to that article, Matt Sanchez is embedded in Afghanistan.  You are in Afghanistan.  Could you possibly be Matt Sanchez?  Gee, I wonder. Henrymrx (t&middot;c) 10:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Bloggers don't write articles, reporters do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.59.82.19 (talk) 19:49, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

New APO Philippines page
History of Alpha Phi Omega in the Philippines. It was originally put up by an inexperienced user as Alpha Phi Omega (Philippines) and moved to the "history of..." page by myself. We're still trying to figure out exactly what is the best way to organize the APO-USA vs. APO-RP pages. I am more in favor of covering Alpha Phi Omega as a whole in the main article, with both national organizations' info there, and leaving the Philippines article as concentrating on the historical aspects of how they were founded and such. Finder seems to think otherwise (see the talk page). So you're thoughts would be appreciated. Dr. Cash (talk) 17:07, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
