Eva Pigford

Why isn't her article titled that instead of Eva Marcille? I didn't even know her middle name until now, and I'm certain that her common name is Eva Pigford. A little after seeing your user name pop up in the edit history of an article that I have on my watchlist, I just came across your quote of the day, which is from her, and saw that you had it titled Eva Marcille. I was a little confused to see that it was Eva Pigford, since I've never heard her called by the name Eva Marcille. I was thinking she'd gotten married or something, and someone probably changed the name of her article...until I clicked on it and saw that Marcille is her middle name. What's up with her article being titled that? Flyer22 (talk) 07:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Again, thanks for clearing that up. Flyer22 (talk) 07:22, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

And no matter the last name she's using, she should be referred to by that last name throughout the article, of course, instead of by her first name. I'll format her article in that way later. Flyer22 (talk) 07:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Chantal Jones (ANTM cycle 9)

Thank you for finding a source for her last name! People have been adding and removing it (and other false last names) for ages, so it's really nice to finally have a source to prove which is correct. Eatcacti (talk) 09:47, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On November 25 2007, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mel Rose, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Mel Rose), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question about AntiSpamBot

You reverted AntiSpamBot's edit to Mel Rose. I'm wondering why that would happen. From your history, you look like a good editor, so seeing that just made me wonder if there are any kinks in AntiSpamBot. Thanks. Wryspy (talk) 01:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Need your help with persistent vandal

I went to another administrator about this, but they didn't respond quick enough, so I told them I'd take this to someone else. Well, that brings me to you, Mike, as the first to pop up in my head. A vandal, as seen in this link, keeps vandalizing the Janice Dickinson article. Doesn't seem likely to stop. Even threatened to have me blocked. And has the nerve to call me a vandal. Flyer22 (talk) 21:32, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, of course. I'm going to add two valid citations to the lead of her article that declare her as a supermodel, but I'm sure that won't even satisfy this vandal. Either way, I'm not worried about this vandal's satisfication. Flyer22 (talk) 22:25, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

He (or she) is back, with a different IP. Flyer22 (talk) 23:26, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Damsel in distress #2 for the night

Hey Mike ~ I followed Flyer22 to you because she knows her stuff. Could you please protect the Belle Black page from moves. People keep moving the page from her common name to her "married" name that she's had for 2 days. Belle Brady is not her common name and there is already confusion because her birth name was Brady. Could you please protect it from moves? Please!!!! CelticGreen (talk) 01:52, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I've asked Flyer22 to help me on this. She knows the rule and where to find it. Thanks for protecting it for me/us. CelticGreen (talk) 02:36, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Days of our Lives

Hello, I've noticed you're a frequent contributor to the Days article. I nominated it for Good Article status, and it is currently on hold. I'm not much of a soap expert (I nominated the article because I thought it looked very well done), so could you go and take a look at the talk page and see what has to be done? Regards.

Note about your Commons talk page

I happened across commons:User talk:TheCustomOfLife and saw your note directing people here. Commons has a very nifty feature that will send you an email whenever anyone edits your talk page. Preferences -> Email (on the first tab), click on "E-mail me when my user talk page is changed". Very handy feature, one that I wish more wikis had...

Paul B. Davis page

Mike, I see that you started the Paul B. Davis page and I also see that you have had nothing to do with it in a long time. I wanted to let you know that I just went through it and wikified it as well as corrected the dates. I don't know how anyone got the dates as wrong as they were, but I have fixed all of that stuff now. The article is a stub and could use a great deal more work, but I thought I would give you a chance to go look at it and tell me what you think or what you think needs to be done.

Elonka's RFA

Your comments towards Matt; I literally laughed to myself in the coffeeshop I"m studying in right now and says "that's hot." ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 15:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Jesse Hubbard and Angie Baxter

What do you think of this...[1][2] (I mean, more so the Jesse talk)?

My main thought about it is that Darnell Williams had better be coming back as Jacob, if it's a long-term contract that he's signed. If it's brief, I'm okay with it being Jesse, if he's a ghost/angel again, but not as a "back from the dead" Jesse. The rest of my feelings on this matter were stated on my talk page.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 3

Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate, that landed on WP:100! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because it's the holiday and there are plenty of off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status! Thanks again, and have a great holiday season, --Elonka 17:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
