Mel Gussow IP block
Thanks for getting to that before I finished the (rather laborious!) 3RR report! JohnInDC (talk) 02:59, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Pah! Laborious? Try an SPI (there must be a simpler way...) Cheers Tonywalton Talk 03:01, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I may indeed seek a rangeblock, thanks. It's getting tiresome dealing with these IPs one by one.  (I'm actually pretty quick at SPI reports -) JohnInDC (talk) 03:02, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Just out of interest, http://www.enotes.com/topic/Mel_Gussow has him as Mel Hayes (not Howard) Gussow. That's sourced from Wikipedia, though, so possibly an old mirror. Cheers, Tonywalton Talk 03:10, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the arguments are "Hayes" vs. "Howard" and whether or not he converted to Presbyterianism late in life. Oh yeah, whether his father's name was "Don" or "Donald".  It's silly stuff but each side seems really invested in their position.  What was that old Star Trek episode - Let That Be Your Last Battlefield?  It'd be easier just to let them slug it out for eternity.  Wish it were an option. JohnInDC (talk) 03:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sad thing is that stuff like that is, with a bit of proper research, probably findable. Sadder thing is that somebody out there really, really thinks it matters. Why can't they apply the same amount of energy to something real, like, I don't know, the price of fish sticks? Tonywalton Talk 02:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

STRATHDEVON ,Improvements.
Tonywalton (new section) Tony, I have taken advice from your feedback and now request a reveiw of my editing for Strathdevon,As a newby to wikipedia I have read through help and advice pages and now hope to convince you of my sincerity to create a good reference,by tidying up links et cetera.. I have also created a new article for Black Devon that ties in with my strathdevon one, Colin, STRATHDEVON (talk) 03:02, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * That looks better, though there are a fair few "this has problems" tags still on there. It's 1am here, so I'll leave it till tomorrow for a more detailed look. Thanks for the work you did on it! Cheers, Tonywalton Talk 00:58, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

User:Infrontcomms
I don't recall having had any discussions about that user before. You may have thanked the wrong user. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:05, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * "...something worthy of thanks." Well, in not one, but two places on ANI today, I was told I was right about something. That might be a personal best. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:14, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Fluke. Tonywalton Talk 01:21, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeh, a blind squirrel might still find an acorn, or sometimes even two. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:22, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

You deleted my page!
The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) told me that you deleted The Anthem of Buryatia. Couldn't you wait? I wasn't finished the article. Also, if you want proof that there is the anthem of Buryatia on http://flags.lidicity.com/index.html, get a Chinese Admin to go on and look for Buryatia.
