Winter Hill air disaster
A few years ago I tried to remove the addition of a list of fatalities at Winter Hill air disaster per not memorial, it wasnt really resolved and the names have stayed. Noticed recently that more information is being added like ages etc., still think the names are not needed but before raising it again just interested in your opinion, thanks.

 * Without looking back into it, I reacall that crash as a bit unusual, in that so many of the casualties were in the same one industry in the same geographic area. Short of listing them, we could simply quantify them. I don't think that would constitute true wp:SYNTH, though I suppose a case might be made. As usual, the crew members may be individually notable for their actions. LeadSongDog come howl!  05:16, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

WebCiteBOT Replacement Task Force
Sometime in the past you expressed an interest in getting WebCiteBOT running again or replaced. WebCiteBOT was a bot that submitted links to WebCitation.org in order to combat WP:LINKROT. I have recently started a WebCiteBOT Replacement Task Force to help coordinate an effort to do just that. I am cordially inviting you to express your opinion on the matter if you are interested. Thanks. -  Hydroxonium  ( H3O+ ) 14:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Interesting thanks
Thanks for starting to help out on notability. Isn't it interesting that at WP of all places, this article did not already long exist? I created it as a joke responding to Logicalgregory at WikiProject philosophy talk. Also interestingly, given this is WP, Bad faith did not already exist. (I also recently created Absurdity, Ridiculousness, and Seriousness, as serious articles, and also admittedly as a joke, both at the same time, so all were initially challenged on notablity grounds, since I admitted the joke roots of their creation. An interesting question is whether this kind of double mindedness on my part is classic bad faith, or its opposite? PPdd (talk) 19:50, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Glad to help. I can see you're still finding your footing here, but you show signs of being a great asset to the project. Anyone who can only see two sides of a question really isn't trying ;-) The initial challenge to that article may have been simply for lack of citations. WP has a routine mechanism for so flagging new articles that might not be verifiably notable. LeadSongDog come howl!  20:04, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Please teach me
to isolate individual components of sections like you did here. PPdd (talk) 02:09, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * That wasn't my edit, that was by user:BullRangifer. Is that the edit you meant? LeadSongDog come howl!  03:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I was wondering how you were able to link to this one comment out of all the comments he and others made in the section. PPdd (talk) 03:37, 23 February 2011 (UTC) Never mind. I see it is just a history comparison. I did not click on the link, but just let my cursor float over it, and Bull's comment showed on the littel pop up box while the cursor floats over it. So I thought you were somehow able to link to just a part of a section, rather than to the whole section. PPdd (talk) 03:41, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, those "history comparison"s are called diffs. You will want to get comfortable using them, for discussions, version comparisons, etc. 04:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
