I find your lack of faith... disturbing.

Dear Michael Snow,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism, for every bit helps me become a better Wikipedian. I've started working on the things you brought up, and I hope that next time, things run better; who knows, maybe one day we'll be basking on the shore of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M o P-_ 22:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jay Robert Nash

I'm working to expand the Jay Robert Nash article (having been inspired by your Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2006-04-24/Jay_Robert_Nash article) but I'm unable to confirm the info about Nash threatening to sue Wikipedia. Could you provide a reference to this? Many thanks.--Alabamaboy 15:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's cool. I'll reference your article in Signpost. Best, --Alabamaboy 16:03, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Primetime copyvios

I've noticed that you've taken a whack at cleaning out the massive copyright violations by Primetime (talk · contribs). Well, I did a trawl through the list of articles he took credit for on his user page and listed what seemed to be obvious violations on his talk page, in order to give him the chance to come clean and list the exact sources -- and others that haven't been uncovered yet. Call it a test of his sincerity and, hopefully, a time-saver for the clean-up crew. If he obfuscates or the info doesn't check out, I'll probably have to start digging deeper and you might have to go in and decide whether to assume copyright violation for suspect stuff probably scanned from print sources. I'll keep you apprised. --Calton | Talk 06:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stop! Those aren't copyvios! I wasn't admitting to anything new! Please!--Primetime 05:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Come to think of it, go ahead and delete away. I neglected to copy the text Primetime introduced, but I just snagged Salvatore Quasimodo and Ramón Menéndez Pidal while I had the chance, so that should be a good start. If it's not too much trouble, could you send me other deleted bits if I need them? --Calton | Talk 06:20, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete "History of the Spanish Language." That's from a paper I wrote! I'm telling you "Second Spanish Republic" isn't a copyvio, either! It wasn't a practice of mine to add spelling errors to articles. There's no need to assume anything, either. You're not accomplishing anything by deleting these. You are hurting me, though. You're also deleting my public-domain images and pronunciation aids I added to the articles as well as the additions of other users. You also deleted an article someone else wrote about my family--the Maxwells. I'm going to kill myself.--Primetime 23:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for what read to me as a level-headed, NPOV and informative article. You say on your page that you have – now "had"? – no particular experience in journalism; perhaps, then, that's what all folk known as journalists need to maintain as far as possible for as long as possible!
