RE
Yeh, but it's all sorted out now. The thing is he/she was blocked but they were still allowed to edit their own talk page to request a lift of the block - Kingpin13 (talk) 17:11, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Sondra Lim
I think the problem with going much further back is that it would re-introduce some of the gossip and other unsourced content that was in the article. As it is, I've reverted to an edit that's about two months old. —C.Fred (talk) 04:29, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Please, go ahead and search further back. I know at some point the term "sexy star" was defined in the article; that could be a bit of context that's missing with the current description. —C.Fred (talk) 04:35, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Are you finding any reliable sources on her? See the comments from further down my talk page. I'm seriously thinking about deleting the article under A7 and removing the mentions of her from Quizon Avenue (since IMDB doesn't validate her as in the cast). —C.Fred (talk) 04:52, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. The thought did cross my mind to leave as vanilla a version as possible up for 48 hours, since other sites are clearly mirroring the article. Hopefully they'd refresh; the risk now is that they stay with the last version they got. —C.Fred (talk) 05:02, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Paul Robinson
ehm I write for first time message so I don't know if it is correct way to write here but anyway... So about the Paul Robinson, you said it isn't relevant but IMHO it is. I don't know your personal climbing and especually bouldering experiences but, Paul Robinson was long time the world bouldering ranking leader based on the 8a.nu score database untill he deleted his scorecard and won multiple times the nord american bouldering series. He is is still the only one to made the second ascent of Fred Nicoles Terremer and made some 8C FAs... That are kinda crazy achievments and as he appeared in some other wiki pages I though I should add him to the list... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Koprinen (talk • contribs) 19:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

RE: aaah well ok. Unfortunately I am not so familiar with the Paul Robinsons bio and only with his ascents, which I have seen on videos and on news and his scorecard so far. So thanks for the information about how things are going on here, and I'll fix the pages, when someone, or me personally adds the Paul Robinson (climber) page :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Koprinen (talk • contribs) 12:09, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

The Dogs
Hi Ponyo, yes, I noticed that I crossed you on a few pages. I have taken the habit, once a day, to take 10 more or less random articles from the end of the new pages backlog (excluding sports and music album articles -those people seem to regard anything as notable - and stuff I really don't know much about). So I'll guess we'll bump into each other now and then again. I was also contemplating to PROD, but if those TV appearances can be sourced (and I don't really want to spend the time to go looking for them, so I'll leave that for someone else) then the article would probably even survive AfD. Finishing a thesis is tough, for the candidite and for his/her partner, so good luck to both of you :-) --Crusio (talk) 19:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Petitions
Generally, per WP:EL, all links must be relevant, but at the same time, per WP:NPOV, Wikipedia is not here to promote a single opinion or provide a means for people to do that. So, to answer you question in short, petitions should not be in an EL section. The WP:MOSTV doesn't really discuss this, because it's really specific and that page is an overall guideline for the most part. That being said, discussion of petitions is good from a prose standpoint, so long as there is coverage on the petition from a reliable, third party source. Meaning, we cannot just go searching for petitions and then use our own words to discuss that a petition exists. We would need someone reliable, and independent of the subject reporting on it. So, if say USA Today decided to run a piece on how fans of Ed petitioned NBC to release the show on DVD (it currently is not on DVD), then we should include that in the article. If all you can find is some fansite discussing the petition, then it, unfortunately, is not reliable enought to warrant inclusion in an article. I hope this answers your question. If not, shoot me a response back and I'll try and clarify on whatever was unclear, or unaddressed.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  16:34, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
