Progress by letter

 * 173 to start - a few of you jumped the gun a bit and 6 are down already! The-Pope (talk) 16:11, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

 * 137.--Milowent • talkblp-r 02:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 126 - Done and 2091 on the big red button. The-Pope (talk) 16:34, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 105 --joe deckertalk to me 06:29, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 87 - Hey Gabba Gabba --joe deckertalk to me 15:40, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 82 - FIJgeting --joe deckertalk to me 16:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 81 - struggled with Inoke Takiveikata (Vice-President) - being VP of a country sounds impressive, but it's a mainly ceremonial position and there is at least one other much higher profile (jailed!) senator of the same name, so searching is hard. Primo "Olong" Avestruz Villasin proves that web based coverage of 1960s Phillipines politics isn't too good yet. Are they referencable, or should they be redirected to their political position articles (which also aren't well referenced?   Would love to see the BRB hit 2000, (2018 now) but that's me done for the night. The-Pope (talk) 16:22, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I managed to dig up some meagre sources for Vice President Inoke Takiveikata of Fiji. I'm afraid the Phillipine congress person has me completely stumped.  Couldn't find a thing.  As much as it hurts, per WP:V, if we can't source it, then we shouldn't have an article on it. -- Whpq (talk) 19:03, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I can find a few tantalising hints. Someone called Primo A. Villasin seems to have been involved in a lawsuit in the 60s and they appear in this phone book . Hut 8.5 20:11, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 66/2007! - I looked at the Phillipine legislator as well, came up with nothing. But I am getting a bit tired of the vanity BLPs this month, e.g., "Diane Wittry has been called a role model for women conductors throughout the United States.".  Gotta love the role model linking there. hehe.--Milowent • talkblp-r  19:23, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 60/2001. I want to get it under 2000, but then i see something like Ricardo Welch aka The Gladiator, and hope its a hoax, but find its not.--Milowent • talkblp-r  20:29, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's time to party like it's..... --joe deckertalk to me 20:52, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 57/1998? Remember when we had individual months with over 1000 uBLPs?!--Milowent • talkblp-r  20:55, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Heh, seems like forever ago, but it was really only four months back.... --joe deckertalk to me 20:58, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 53/1994 - M ... the current long counts make it feel like we're going back in time.  :)  --joe deckertalk to me 21:12, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 45-14 at deletion. Less than previous months for some unknown reason. December 2010 was finished the other day too, all remaining 24 are in a deletion process.The-Pope (talk) 03:00, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 38 and W down.--Milowent • talkblp-r 04:39, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
