Hello and welcome to my talk page! If you have a question, ask me. If I know the answer, I'll tell you; if I don't, I'll find out (or one of my talk-page stalkers might know!), then we'll both have learnt something!

I just wanted to let you know that I undid your block of this user. I had two reasons for doing this: First and foremost the block is no longer necessary because the page in question has been fully protected. However, I also think that the initial block was a poor one at the time—the IP was leaving, after a while, perfectly reasonable edit summaries: "The National Enquirer is hardly a reputable source of information" and "National Enquirer and Daily Mail not reputable sources," while Kyle1278 continued to rollback him with the same message: "unexplained removal of content".

I will say that they had been repeatedly asked to take the matter up on the talk page, however, I don't object to your unblock. I agree the reverts, at least without the use of a proper edit summary, were less than optimal and intended to discuss it with Kyle1278 when I had a moment, though if you wanted to take it up with them, I'll defer to your judgement. Needless to day, I wasn't aware of the full protection when I made the block. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:42, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, I think the protection had not even been made when you blocked, so of course I cannot fault you for that. I'll leave it up to you to talk to Kyle1278 about it, though of course if you want me to, I'd be more than willing to. NW (Talk) 23:45, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Whoa, what a mess. Kyle1278's rollback flag should be removed; or atleast his huggle.css blanked, to revert this kind of garbage back in isn't acceptable. Courcelles 23:51, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

White Horse

Would you mind going over the changes on "White Horse" and then comment on Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/White Horse (song)/1. Thank you. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 00:37, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I was just about to retire for the night, but since it's you, I'll have a look when I re-emerge. :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:41, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Also, which I'm really sorry for, how do I nominated The Time of Our Lives (Miley Cyrus song) for a speedy deletion. My reason is that it was already deleted and the song is has the same issues as before, no media coverage, and failure to be anything but a stub. Sorry to bother you but I just need the procedures. I can't find them at WP:Speedy deletion. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 02:17, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, it doesn't meet any of the speedy criteria and even if it did, it's previously survived an AfD, so the only reason it could be speedied is if it's a newly discovered copyright violation. The only way you're going to get it deleted is through WP:AfD. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:47, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

And exactly how would I do that? I'm sorry, but I don't remember how to do this. I've only done it once before. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 22:06, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

You can either use Twinkle or you can follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO (mostly copying and pasting). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:10, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Nevermind, me and the creator, which has been the only contributor of it, have both reached the agreement to redirect the page for what it was previously redirected for. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 22:25, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Your rangeblock on 66.87.4.0/22

I just did a CU on that range per a request on WP:ACC, and I saw quite a few good faith accounts on that range and also quite a few good faith anonymous edits. Could you take another look at the anon contributions on that range (link) and double-check that rangeblock? Thank you, –MuZemike 02:15, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Unblocked. Facepalm Not sure what I thought I saw that led me to that conclusion. There were quite a few good faith edits. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:52, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I love your "can't be arsed to fix it" tag on your user page. Do you mind if I copy it? Cheers,  Chzz  ►  18:27, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Of course you can. It's CC-By-SA after all. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:53, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Sure - but it's nice to ask :-) [1] Thanks.  Chzz  ►  23:07, 23 March 2011 (UTC) yes, I did fuck up the edit summ 'user:user' - meh.

Protection

Good idea protecting Jimbo Wales's userpage. Too bad there are too many users to do it to all of them!--Tepigisthe498th (talk to me!) 23:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
