R. L. Hymers Wikipage
Dear Xy:

My post to you was not a legal threat per se. I wanted to say that "Scooge" has made veiled threats about "guns" against Dr. Hymers on her website. I consider this to be hate speech. It has been reported to the FBI. Until this matter is resolved, it should be kept in mind that a report has been filed with the FBI.

I am not an attorney, and in no position to threat legal action against Wikipedia. I simply wrote to inform of you the report with FBI that has been filed against Scooge for what she has written on her own website.

I hope that Wikipedia would allow a quotation from another publication defending Dr. Hymers. I would like to submit an article written by Dr. Robert L. Sumner in the Biblical Evangelist to balance the article. Again, I am not in a position to make legal threats. I am sorry if my previous statement was worded in a way that seem to reflect that.

 * Thanks for clarifying that matter. And thank you for your forebearance in making further edits on the page. Let's take any further comment to the article talk page. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  23:59, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Robert L. Hymers III (Bob Hymers' son) has indeed sent me a note that suggests he has filed complaints against me with both the FBI and the Glendale Police Department. I have not seen documentation that this actually occurred, but police and FBI complaints are privileged information, so they would not, of course, normally be divulged.

Oddly, not only did Mr. Hymers send me a note to this effect, but Dr. Hymers (the father / the subject of the Wikipedia article) also sent me a shorter summary of these allegations against me, and then emailed a reiteration of them to other former members of his church--thereby "publishing" the imputations.

The discussion that Dr. and Mr. Hymers allege includes "threats" can be seen here: [redacted; everyone who cares has see it--or contact me individually, and I'll provide the link]. I will allow others to evaluate whether a retired cop asking me about my revolver constitutes my making a threat. Certainly, I made it clear that I have no violent feelings or fantasies regarding Dr. Hymers, and of course I've been assured that under section 230 of the CDA I am not liable for what others say in my comments sections. Though, frankly, none of the readers' remarks struck me as threatening, either. Scooge (talk) 13:53, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

young Pakistan flag movement
May I please obtain a copy of the deleted article in question. I was asked that if I needed one I should contact an administrator. Since you are the one who deleted it, i thought best to consult you.

I have contacted the founder of the movement for reliable sources. And I hope to have the article reposted once the wanted sources are there. In the meantime can you email me a copy?

 * I can do you one better. The article was deleted under the WP:PROD scheme, which means if anyone objects it is not deleted. Clearly, you do not want it deleted, so I have restored the article. Please add the sources you mentioned when you have a chance. Take care, Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  02:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Patrick Ada
I noticed that you deleted the article on Patrick Ada, due to failing WP:ATHLETE. He has now played a full league match for Crewe Alexandra (source), so is he now eligible for an article? If so, would it be possible for you to restore the page?  glennb28   t/ c    16:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. It looks as if you've all ready recreated this article, which is fine because, as mentioned in the AfD, he would meet WP:ATHLETE once he actually played. The articles look the same to me, but let me know if you still want a copy of the deleted version. You can point to this discussion if there is any further attempt to speedy the article.

Text of deleted article(s) on The Anchoress?
Articles have been created twice on Wikipedia about a blogger called The Anchoress, and deleted twice. Now that her blog has been moved to the First Things website (eminent Roman Catholic periodical), I cannot imagine her notability being denied--though it likely will be ; ) Before I re-create the article, however, I'm wondering if either of the previous two versions are retrievable. I'm assuming they are not. (I wrote the second one, not having realized that an article on her blog had already been created and taken down. But either old entry might give me a starting point for creating a new, "survival of the fittest" one.) The time frame for the second one would be summer of 2008. What do you mean, "no"? What kind of a word is that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scooge (talk • contribs) 18:31, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've restored the article at User:Scooge/sandbox/The Anchoress. You can put your other articles in your sandbox (I saw the question on your talk page). You copy and paste articles by using the "move" function - just move it from the current title to something like "User:Scooge/sandox/Article title" with no quotes. The upper/lower case and slash directions are important, (just look at the move log for this article to see how many times I messed it up). Anyway, there's only one sentence, but perhaps prior versions that are in the history may help you. Take care, Xymmax  So let it be written   So let it be done  13:43, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. There was, indeed, some great stuff in the history from that first version of the article. Plenty to work with, there. Keeps me busy IYKWIMAITYD.Scooge (talk) 16:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

If it heats up, will it be okay if I re-request here? Thanks. – túrian  patois  03:21, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, I don't mind if you list here and/or RFPP - whoever gets to it first, great. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  03:27, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
