Thank you

I just wanted to thank you for the barnstar you left on my user talk page. The situation over at Talk:DSM cautionary statement was starting to seem a little tiresome and pointless, so I greatly appreciated your recognition. Incidentally, if you do agree with my position about that article, you may want to give your opinions on the talk page, although hopefully the situation will be resolved soon (fingers crossed). Thank you again for the kind compliments. Happy editing! –Sommers ^(Talk) 12:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

2007 NBA Draft

Hi, I was wondering what your source was for the 8.4% number in the draft lottery section of 2007 NBA Draft. I've tried to cite it, but I couldn't find it through a quick Google News search. Thanks. --Ytny (talk) 12:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I'm actually not sure how to cite it. I mean, nobody's going to say 1+1=2 is original research, but this one isn't as simple. And I'm not sure who I'd ask. I think your math is right, so I'm just going to leave it as is, and we can worry about it if someone objects. Cheers. 19:21, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

On second thought, I think showing the math in the footnote inside <ref></ref> might be helpful. --Ytny (talk) 19:37, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Many thanks for the kind words accompanying the barnstar you awarded me! All the best Wikigreetings from --Janke | Talk 12:24, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Terry Long (basketball)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Terry Long (basketball), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Terry Long (basketball). 161.134.39.32 (talk) 17:35, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Alicia Ross Article

Hi Dave, is it possible to cite the original news articles at all? Forums are normally to be avoided; while I don't doubt that the posts are straight copies of the original material, without any editorial oversight there's no guarantee. Anyway, I'll let you get on with it as you see fit! Marasmusine (talk) 14:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

I love my new Barnstar of Liberty! Thanks --Neutrality^talk 19:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
