Speedy Deletion
I think we read the article differently...although I see your point. Thanks for the heads-up. Jb0007 (talk) 19:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

almost helpful
I saw your well meaninged advice on AN. Unfortunately, the incivility towards others who are making the requests are there too. That's too bad.

I'm using my work computer so I've got to go. Differentuninvolved (talk) 13:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Mass
Sorry about that. The correct figure was 3 x 10^28 g. I currently am unable to read Adobe, so I had to read the HTML version, and the numbers were a bit blurry, so I misread it. I had heard the spiral arms theory, but assumed it was just another way of stating the up and down bob hypothesis. I'll have to check it out.  Serendi pod ous  21:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's weird. Because, unless I'm a total moron, and I am not excluding that possibility, the original source said 3 x 10^28 g, or 3 Earth masses. You'd think a scholarly article on astronomy would know the mass of the Earth to within 50%. On the other hand, I don't feel so bad for making that mistake now.

By the way, thanks for showing up. FAC's can be lonely.  Serendi pod ous  21:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Your gift to a person who reverted his own graffiti
It was a very amusing gift you gave to User:Jwaits12, who reverted his own graffiti. I noticed that this user left his graffiti in the history of the article he defaced, probably by accident, since he defaced a section title. Interestingly, pollution of the history log can't be easily removed. Although history log vandalism it isn't as readily apparent to the general public as vandalism of an article, the difficulty of removing it must make it an attractive target to vandals, no?&mdash;GraemeMcRaetalk 22:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Blocking on actions vs. user name or combinations thereof
Checking through my watchlist I came across the vandalism to Muhammad which you responded to by blocking the editor User:Fitna-rocks. Was that before or after you looked up Fitna, a dab page, which links to Fitna (film), a certain rather controversial film. As in, given the linkage between actions and name, it was "fer shur" that they should be blocked. Wondering, because at first I couldn't figure out why the name bothered me...

Knock yourself out, friend; have fun, enjoy the ride
I trust you know what you're talking about, and hell, I left a glaring, fundamental flaw in the Kuiper belt article for over a year after it was featured. It's only been term-paper suitable since last week. So please don't assume that I'm an authority on this, or even that I have a clue what I'm doing :-)  Serendi pod ous  18:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

My RFA has closed
My RFA that you weighed in on earlier has closed as no consensus to promote, at a final tally of 120/47/13. I thank you for your feedback and comments there, and I'm going to be considering all the various advice and comments presented. I might end up at RFA again some day, or not. If you see me there again in the future, perhaps you might consider a Support !vote. If not, not, and no hard feelings. The pen is still mightier than the mop! See you around, and thanks again.

Thanks for the note. Looks like you've been busy.

I'm new to the GA business. I understand I can't review the article. What can I do, if anything, at this stage?

 * Thanks. There's a backlog in the GA review, so it will take a while.  I'll watch what happens.  Cheers, Wanderer57 (talk) 11:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Igor Berger's Hitlist
You seem to be on it: http://www.londonfetishscene.com/wipi/index.php/User:Igorberger#BuzzKill See also: Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents Thought you should know. I also wonder if you could do something about his incessant trolling. The only admin to comment so far is involved in a content dispute with me, and unhelpful.
