Hashshashin Needs Major Help
Hashshashin is one of the most poorly sourced articles I've seen lately, and has a few lines that SCREAM POV-pushing (the legends are from Arab polemics? wut?) I want badly to overhaul it; make it clearer, stronger, smaller, more relevant.

Since you've edited it so much, I am seeking your advice. What're your thoughts? NickDupree (talk) 19:47, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. I think I'll start soon by deleting and consolidating; a lot of the sections are too long/too superfluous.  And you've been right to keep too much irrelevant pop culture stuff out. NickDupree (talk) 02:20, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Any good sources you can find would help a lot. NickDupree (talk) 02:39, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Are any of those sources available online? I'm unfortunately mostly bedridden, so lack easy library access. NickDupree (talk) 06:52, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I just completed a big overhaul: restructuring for clarity, simplicity. The length was shortened a bit, as I've trimmed or removed some unsourced and redundant text (more consolidating and shortening certainly welcomed).  Citations are still a problem, but this edit was sorely needed, and I hope it isn't immediately reverted. NickDupree (talk) 23:10, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Everyone seems willing to add info on Hashshashin video games, but no one aside from me has attempted to edit the History section. FAIL.    NickDupree (talk) 02:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Removal of PROD from New wave of new wave
Hello RepublicanJacobite, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to New wave of new wave has been removed.

Rollback
I've removed this user right as you are using it for edit warring and undoing what appear to be good faith edits. Examples include diff, diff, diff and diff, none of which are blatant vandalism. Tim Vickers (talk) 20:22, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I haven't interacted with you much on WP, but I do remember you welcomed me to the project. It's a small thing but not one I forgot. Likewise I wish you good luck in leaving, whatever your reason, and should you return I hope you once more find it as welcoming a place as I did.  Litho  derm  15:18, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Like Lithoderm, I haven't had the chance to work much with you personally, but I am well aware of the value of your contributions. I hope you're not gone for good. Yours, Kafka Liz (talk) 16:22, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Apology
Hi there, thinking this over I realize I was wrong to act on this before you'd had a chance to comment and doing this was discourteous. However, I'm sure you can see why, from my perspective, this appeared to be a clear case of misusing rollback. Looking back at your contributions in more detail, I see that most of your reverts were for simple vandalism, so if you meet me half-way here and agree to be a bit more communicative in the future when reverting other users' good-faith edits, I'll restore the tool. Sorry again for having caused you aggravation. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:10, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for being so understanding, I hope your dad gets well soon and if I can help you in any way in the future please don't hesitate to ask. Tim Vickers (talk) 03:47, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Michael Collins
Hi RepublicanJacobite, In May/June 2009, an anon editor added information on Michael Collins' distant ancestors in the 12th century. After a discussion on the talk page, this info was removed. The editor is back, now registered as User:DinDraithou and is adding the same information again. As you commented on this issue before, I'm informing you of the current debate on Michael Collins' talk page. Snappy (talk) 17:46, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Many thanks
Many thanks for removing that offensive comment from my talk page. I needed to test something in the sandbox and for some reason this editor put that comment on my talk page. Again thank you-RFD (talk) 16:51, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

...and ditto from me for pointing out that rather blatant sockpuppet. I have unraveled it. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:07, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Jdlankin
Sorry for the confusion. I started with the episode 19 L&O standard credits already typed and copied. I thought it would be faster to paste these standard credits and then go back and fill in the other details. I intend to follow the format of the other L&O episodes. If this is not the right method, is there an experimental field where I could paste the various components together first and then move the whole end product into the article field? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdlankin (talk • contribs) (16:12, 17 September 2009)
