Well done on reaching GA for this article. As a major contributor to the body of work now on display you are entitled to display a GA template (there are many versions) on your user pages. (Please come to me if you need assistance with that process :-D ) --VS ^talk 21:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't think what you call your "clean-up" is at all helpful. Please revert it. In particular, your call for a citation IMMEDIATELY ABOVE a sourced quotation is really laughable. --El Ingles (talk) 17:10, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi buddy, thanks for your note. My edit removed numerous instances of POV, peacock words, and unencyclopaedic/informal/colloquial writing that isn't welcome on Wikipedia. My {{fact}} tag was picking up on this: "Her sexual desires seem to have been driven by the need for the companionship of alpha males rather than any kind of lust." (Emboldened myself) "Seem" is the key word here. That's an observation by the writer which you know we can't do. So that's my reasoning. I don't think I will revert as my edits were wholly constructive, I'm an experienced Wiki-editor and I know what I'm doing. Additionally, next time you leave myself or anyone else a note, please could you be a bit friendlier; I found your message to be slightly aggressive when you referred to my edit (albeit, in part) as "laughable". Please read WP:AGF. Thank you for your message anyway. If you still find fault with my clean up, I am willing to bring in a neutral-third opinion. :-) Thanks again.

Why thank you!!!!

Ahoy there! Thanks for the support re: les trolls de genres. Obviously we have never met before or talked on MSN or anything. So I will take this opportunity to welcome you to Wikipedia. Enjoy your time here. Do not get stressed by it. And for Pete's sake do not try and become an admin. Some of them are real jerks who just turn around and quit the project. I know you won't be one of those. You just need to Xscape every now and then. As for me, I get relief through humour on Wikipedia. Edits like this one give me a chuckle and help me to enjoy my Wiki-experience a little more. Have a nice day! The Real Libs-speak politely 22:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Ever voted on a CfD before? Here is an example of one. The Real Libs-speak politely 22:26, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Wow. You're a clairvoyant or something. Only... my years as an IP were approx. two. I had an account for a year/half before that. My old account name was User. ..... oops sorry, can't finish, gotta run. :-D The Real Libs-speak politely 22:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I've lost count

Is this guy 3RR on Metallica yet. I started a discussion 2 days ago over his POV delete fetish. No response. He's "one of those", y'know. The Real Libs-speak politely 00:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I hate composing them. They have to be the worst pain in the arse procedures on Wiki. But I hav... nope.... no... I hold firm.... I won't do one. :D. Wikipedia is fun isn't it? Isn't it??? The Real Libs-speak politely 02:28, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: The "musical genre vandal"

Thanks for the notice. I think you might be right, but my message is also a plea for making good reports at AIV. We can't spend 20 minutes researching why the behavior is disruptive every time someone makes a report (or in the end no admin will bother patrolling this page any more) -- lucasbfr ^talk 08:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
