IP block

Sorry that you were unable to edit recently, but as you can see at Special:Contributions/64.136.26.226 this IP has been vandalizing a lot lately. I'm afraid it is not quite as easy to just unblock a username and not an IP just yet. So I have unblocked the IP for now. Please be aware that if the vandalism persists there may be more blocks, however we will try to keep them to a minimum now that we know that your IP is used by many users. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 05:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Haha, sleeping is very well deserved after copy–editing that massive article. Once again thanks for doing so,--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 02:16, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Did I forget to thank you? ..

SluggoOne ,Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed nearly unanimously with 174 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 neutral votes. Special thanks goes to RegentsPark, Samir and John Carter for their kind nomination and support. I am truly honored by the trust and confidence that the community has placed in me. I thank you for your kind inputs and I will be sincerely looking at the reasons that people opposed me so I can improve in those areas ( including my english ;) ). If you ever need anything please feel free to ask me and I would be happy to help you :). Have a great day ! -- Tinu Cherian - 06:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Pete Williams (journalist)

I assure you that I did not nominate this for deletion in bad faith or to make a point. I made it as a test case, or if you will, for the precedential value, so that we can have a body of standard examples. There has been much talk about sourcing unsourced BLPs. Other than a very small handful of users, nobody had done anything about the problem, but you would not know that from the firestorm of whining. The emerging consensus has been to use the current system, with tweaks and reasonable exceptions. This and other test cases have proven that mass deletion will not work. BLPs of obviously notable persons can stay up with minimal sourcing. I am sorry that my comments were intemperate and upset you. However, I am satisfied with the outcome.

I followed up with this [1]. Bearian (talk) 21:58, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I pretty much stand by my words on the AfD page and would go a step further: A user may not nominate a potentially contentious BLP for deletion without explaining the steps taken to establish notability/provide sources/improve sources/etc. (I would not establish this provision when speedy deleting BLPs that obviously don't belong.) You may not be looking to go quite that far, but if I'm reading your attitude on this correctly, you would agree that given recent attempts at mass deletion, mass deletions need to be almost impossible to do.

Participation at my RfA

Thank you for taking the time to weigh in on my RfA. It was successful, in that the community's wish not to grant me the tools at this time was honored. I'm taking all the comments as constructive feedback and hope to become more valuable to the project as a result; I've also discovered several new areas in which to work. Because debating the merits of a candidate can be taxing on the heart and brain, I offer this kitten as a low-allergen, low-stress token of my appreciation. --otherlleft 14:34, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Rock genre

Hi I just wanted to apologise for my personal opinion getting in the way of that genre earlier in the Avril Lavigne song. I found that source myself and aimed to use it specifically for pop rock as I didn't think anyone would really consider the song to be just rock. Anyway, hope we didn't get off on the wrong foot! Zylo1994 (talk) 16:25, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Not a problem. Personally, I agree with you that that song isn't really straight ahead "rock," but per WP:V, it stays. Şłџğģő 18:09, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Google Dallas Tx population and see what you get it's close to 2.5 million not 1.2 like it says. Thanks
