Palin

If you agree that POV tag is appropriate (as you said on talk page), a quick vote down below on the talk page would be helpful. The vote is currently now 7-5 against POV tag.GreekParadise (talk) 18:57, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I left a comment: Per *Restore_large_protection_notice*, replacing the protection tag would serve the purpose by informing readers & would-be editors why "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit" cannot be edited and explain generally the unresolved disagreements between editors. --Evb-wiki (talk) 19:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Francisco Santos

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Francisco Santos, 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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. 82.154.63.44 (talk) 15:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because Olympic atheletes are considered notable, deletion is probably not the answer. However, you may want to try the AfD process for more opinions. --Evb-wiki (talk) 15:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Old Man of the Lake

Some .gov photos for the Old Man of the Lake article are at google .gov. If you have some time, please upload and use {{PD-USGov}} where it applies. -- Suntag (talk) 01:32, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Thanks. --Evb-wiki (talk) 01:34, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Coal gas and suicide

I amended a Sylvia Plath category from Suicide by gas to Suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. I see that you quickly undid it, asserting "rvt cat. - gas from the oven wouldn't be carbon monoxide".

I hope you'll find that assertion untrue. See, for example: 1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_gas ss 6 and 8.8 ff 2) The British gas suicide story and its criminological implications (1988) http://www.jstor.org/pss/1147403

Press reports of gas-oven suicides, before the national conversion to "natural gas", invariably reported "death by carbon monoxide poisoning".

If you're still convinced of the truth of your assertion, perhaps you'd better also undo my similar amendment to the Assia Wevill entry. I punctiliously didn't amend entries in the "Suicide by Gas" category which referred to deaths outside the UK, as they're outwith my knowledge. I even left the Spilsbury entry as, in his lab, he could for all I know have produced another gas, arther than relying on the coal gas supply.

Incidentally and FWIW, I think the Suicide by Gas category is vitiated by the "includes natural gas" gloss. Omit that gloss and the carbon monoxide category could be folded into it, and any confusion/dispute probbaly avoided. I have seen the discussions but don't intend to get involved.

Marilyn Monroe's birth name

Since Martin E. Mortensen was most likely her father and he spelt his name with an "EN" then wouldn't Marilyn's birth-name be spelt the same way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpm296 (talk • contribs) 21:13, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Visionism false accusations

I'm not placing false IDs or signatures in my comments. FRV is my signature. I didn't signed User:FRV I have signed FRV it's a little beet different, don't you think? Please don't do false accusations and remove the pejorative comment please. FRV 01:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are disguising your identity, which is inappropriate. And the automatic sign robot does not recognize it as a signature. --Evb-wiki (talk) 01:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yup I agree the image is better, and I'm not big on copyright either, but the licensing seems suspect. I won't mind if you put it back on. Cheers. Chensiyuan (talk) 02:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

editing was mentioned on Talk: Sarah Palin prior to edit

Hi! I removed the reference about CNN and the AP feeling they had too little access to Palin on the Talk: Sarah Palin page well after asking for input. Might you add your input there? Thanks! Dave Collect (talk) 15:45, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did. Where it talks about rewording the last paragraph of the *reception* section. --Evb-wiki (talk) 15:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maria Ford

Thanks for adding Template:Fact to Maria Ford, but the paragraph you added it to was just vandalism. - Jredmond (talk) 19:48, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
