Your message on my user talk
Hi, Manway. Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted you to know that I've watchlisted a couple of pages and duck-blocks will be levied against any socks that edit there. SPIs may still be in order to keep an archive, but the disruption will be short-lived at best. Thanks for the info and your help in watching over these articles.

Thanks for the barnstar!
Thanks a lot for the barnstar! I appreciate getting some positive feedback. A quick question: I noticed on your page that you report vandals to the administrators. How does one go about doing that? AutomaticStrikeout (talk) 00:11, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Your speedy deletion nomination of "The Nighthawk"
Hey there. I'm curious as to why you nominated The Nighthawk for speedy deletion under A7. The article clearly doesn't meet A7 now, which I why I removed the template, but looking back at the state of the article directly before you placed the template, it was clearly about about a professional wrestler, a subject which I'm sure most would agree is possibly "important or significant", thus exempting the article from A7. Remember, A7 "does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines."

 * Huh. Been here almost 4 years and never heard that "not supported by a reliable source." or "does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." Thanks for the education, Ducknish. Question, though. Then what is A7 for if not for non-notables? Guess I totally misunderstood the criteria. Regards, -- Man way  02:58, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * My interpretation is that A7 is simply for articles that don't make any assertion of significance that seems credible, like an autobiographical article, or an article about someone's Youtube video. Ducknish (talk) 11:12, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Kris Cooke
Manway, why would this person meet the notability guidelines of ATHLETE or GNG? I don't see any reason for notability. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 02:59, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Only NFL players are eligible for inclusion? Not Arena Football league? The guy is a member of an established national professional league. Heh. I'm just discussing why a professional wrestler is not notable because he's not a member of an established national conference, only regional. The irony. It burns. 8^) Thanks. Regards, -- Man way  03:03, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Just looked at WP:ATHLETE It says: "American football/Canadian football figures are presumed notable if they (h)ave appeared in at least one regular season or post season game in any one of the following professional leagues: the Arena Football League, the Canadian Football League, the National Football League, the third American Football League, the All-America Football Conference or the United States Football League, or any other top-level professional league." (Bolding mine) Therefore, he is notable. -- Man way  03:14, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow. Arena players are automatically notable? You learn something new every day. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 03:18, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
