Please except my apologies

Hi, I am the one who did a rollback at [1]. My apologies because I really thought you meant for it to go to the talk page not the article. I made a non-edit after I did the rollback to explain because the rollback doesn't allow for explanation. I'm glad you readded it. I didn't know anything about what you added so I couldn't tell. Anyways, I hope you will except my apology and explanation. Have a healthy happy New Year and Happy editing, --CrohnieGal^Talk 22:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Synagogues in Sullivan County

Quite a few ... I have a few more to write about in my current batch of NRHP-listed properties from the Fallsburg area (Just look at National Register of Historic Places listings in Sullivan County, New York ... I can count about a dozen or so synagogues). The area was where the Catskills got the moniker "the Jewish Alps", after all, when Jews from New York began coming up around the turn of the century and opening farms and, later, resorts).

Yogi Quotes

On a trip to Cooperstown, to attend a dinner, Phil Rizzuto commented to Yogi, "I think we're lost." To which Yogi responded "Yeah, but we're making great time."

- I noticed you removed this quote from his page. I am not positive whether or not he actually said it, but Phil Rizzuto definitely told this story during a Yankees broadcast during the early 1990s. Its probably not in print anywhere, which I guess is a shame because I really like the quote and its definitely a classic Yogism.

I don't know who put the note above, but I'll go to Yogi's page to check. I do not remember deleting the particular quote but I may have changed it. In the Yogi Book, Yogi says that that happened with his wife and not Phil. I wasn't aware of Phil's claim. Yogi's reply is really a classic. Maybe Phil was trying to look good though it didn't happen with him? Why would Yogi tell the story with his wife, if it had happened with Phil?

You are aware of the difficulty of ascertaining the exact circumstances of each quote as many were used by different people on several occasions. For instance he said to Phil that his new house "was just a bunch of rooms" to use that same line a few days on a radio interview. He also said to players "You can observe a lot by watching" as a catcher asking companions to pay attention, but he also gave the same line years later to news reporters when asked if he was qualified to coach.

I had thought of reviewing with qualifications a more complete list of Yogiisms, but attribution and the exact circumstances are exceedingly difficult to determine. Back in the day nobody anticipated the intense scrutiny these issues would have with us here in Wikipedia.

Thanks for the note, anyway.Deep Atlantic Blue (talk) 17:45, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Fermi Paradox

I reverted your addition to Fermi paradox, because the cited source is neither reliable, nor is the cited author the same given at the source. If I can help you in any way, please feel free to contact me. Happy editing, Paradoctor (talk) 10:41, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk page guidelines

Warning. Deep Atlantic Blue, in this comment you say: "So the reliable source rules are something I would like to discuss a bit more at length." Do not do that on an article talk page. These talk pages is for discussing the article. If you want to "discuss the reliable source rules", then you go to Wikipedia talk:Identifying reliable sources or to Wikipedia talk:Verifiability, which are the appropriate talk pages for that kind of discussion. Bringing that on article talk space is against talk page guidelines and is considered talk page abuse. Any further inapropriate discussion you conduct there will be reverted. Please take it where it belongs. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 10:19, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
