Our friend Donny has now moved to the horse article. See Talk:horse. Just FYI. Further monitoring is needed, it seems. Montanabw^(talk) 20:45, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Uxbridge, Massachusetts article

I have done what I can to add footnotes to this article.There are several major historic references that give a lot of detail about this town, mostly in the 1879 book. But there is another key reference from 1864 if you feel more is needed. I have wikified it also. Hopefully it is improved from Scott;s version of March. I have done my best. The external links are now simply labled as footnotes if that is OK I can't really do any more on this one. Thanks for feedback. Hopefully more is now useable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ksherin (talk • contribs) 00:40, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

You've made huge progress! I think you've done a great job - references and their formatting drive me crazy too. I think I can fix the orphaned refs for you, once I get a little time. One observation - the article has a "wall of words" look to it - some (small, high-quality, free-content) pictures would help break things up. Also, the "Main Roads" section looks awfully long and detailed - maybe a copyedit would be in order there. By the way, I'm taking the maintenance tags off - it's clearly wikified and referenced.

You've put a lot of work into the article, and it shows - good job. Acroterion _(talk) 00:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		I'm awarding you this RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar for your great contributions to protecting and reverting attacks of vandalism on Wikipedia. Wikidudeman (talk) 16:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I should be working on the articles I have in progress, but it's hard to do that in ten-minute increments as time allows; vandal-whacking is a bit more time-friendly. Acroterion _(talk) 16:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Note

Just so you know, I did not create BiodieselRocks. I honestly do not you what you are talking about when you mention that account name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EthanolRules (talk • contribs) 22:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Riana and I disagree. Nevertheless, please take the advice offered and direct your editing to more productive efforts. Acroterion _(talk) 22:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Appreciate your continued monitoring of Arabian horse. Don't know how Donny found someone to stir up an edit war on Iberian versus Arabian horses that ended months ago, but the article was edited to reflect those concerns way back. (see controversies section) I am temporarily limited in my computer time due to eye surgery. so all help is much needed as I haven't the time to defend things as much as is needed... Montanabw^(talk) 03:49, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I posted a thread about Donny on WP:ANI [1] on Saturday after he 1) accused me of WP:BITE and then 2) demanded checkuser to clear his name. I thought that took some nerve, since I haven't run across any newbies who were so conversant with checkuser, but checkuser isn't employed to establish innocence. In any case, a passing checkuser confirmed that Donny evaded 3RR using IP's. Whether or not the IP that raised the Iberian/Arabian issue was Donny is probably beside the point - there's no possibility of AGF with Donny anymore. You've seen FisherQueen's warning, and I agree with her strategy - that comment isn't quite worthy of blocking, but ignoring her warning will be. Acroterion _(talk) 12:01, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

By the way, I will be away on vacation - in Wyoming/Montana in fact - later this month for ten days or so. I have no intention of being anywhere near a computer. There will be a few folks (including admins) watching my user/talk pages in case of trouble, and I'll suggest they keep an eye on horse-related articles as well. Hope your eye returns to normal soon. Acroterion _(talk) 13:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Enjoy the trip. The cooler weather has tamed down the forest fires so you can actually see the scenery again. Appreciate the extra eyeballs, 'specially since only one of mine is working right now! Montanabw^(talk) 00:40, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank You...

Can you please go to User talk:210.233.214.253 and place the block that you threatened? Thanks! -Freak104 02:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, no - I'm not an admin. The IP's been reported at WP:AIV, so I would expect a block anytime. Acroterion _(talk) 03:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Blocked as of now. Acroterion _(talk) 03:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Evolutionary Astrology

Thank you for taking time read my first entry into Wikipedia. I was trying (and apparently failed!) to explain what Evolutionary Astrology is under the sub-catagory of Recent Western Traditions. I am not Jeff Green but did use his book as my source since it is a technique he created. Notable astrologers include Diana Stone, Donna Cunningham, Laura Gerking, Maggie Nalbadian, etc. The School for Evolutionary Astrology is in South Dakota and they have a website. I am unclear about inappropriate name dropping versus sounding like an advertisement. I was just surprised that nothing was in Wikipedia about such a popular movement in astrology (especially in the Northwest). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.248.190 (talk) 00:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing! Please understand that, while anyone may edit Wikipedia, there are a series of requirements for articles to remain in the encyclopedia, and the deletion nomination process helps us to maintain those standards. I would suggest that you consult the following Wikipedia references:

• Your first article
• No original research
• Notability
• Sourcing
• Manual of style

All of these will guide you in your writing. The reason the Evolutionary astrology article was proposed for deletion is that it does not clearly define what evolutionary astrology is, nor does it provide multiple, notable and independent sources or references for the topic. Since it only references a book by the originator of the concept, it appears to constitute original research, which is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Unfortunately, after reading the article in question, I cannot tell you what it is about, except that Pluto is involved and that Mr. Green is very concerned with Pluto. Thus, my proposal for deletion.

I would suggest that you start out with less ambitious edits to existing topics, or very short articles on simple topics at first, to get a feel for editing. Since Wikipedia is becoming mature, it becomes very hard to insert new articles on new topics without close scrutiny for style, references and content.

I will reply here and on your user page, since you were not logged in for your comment. Acroterion _(talk) 01:10, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

This RFA thanks was inspired by Phaedriel's RFA thanks. So unfortunatly this is not entirely my own design.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help, particularly reverting the vandalism on the Ernest Emerson article. I put alot of time and energy into that piece to get it featured, now that it's on the front page every loser with too much spare time on their hands wants to vandalize it!Mike Searson 05:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy delete of user page

Hi there - just wondering why you tagged User:LOLJACKCOOPER for speedy deletion under CSDA7, when that's a criteria for articles not userpages. I've removed the tag, as I've been pulled up for this in the past! Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 11:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

You're correct - I goofed. Thanks for picking that up, I apparently haven't had enough caffeine this morning and missed the crucial "User:" part. Acroterion _(talk) 12:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

for reverting the vandalism to my userpage. The vandals simply love me. KOS | talk 13:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Love is sometimes expressed strangely ;) You're welcome! Acroterion _(talk) 13:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you once more, [3],[4]. I appreciate it. I've blocked that address for one year due to the severity of his threats. Once again thank you. KOS | talk 00:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome again; I was undecided about send the IP to AIV given the time elapsed, but I figured you ought to have the honor in any case. While you're here, a sockpuppet of User:Ln of x has returned to FisherQueen [5] and Philippe [6] with his creepy schtick; as they're both offline, admin attention might be good there. Acroterion _(talk) 00:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

User blocked and the personal attacks removed by an other user. Thanks for the heads up. KOS | talk 00:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Silver Lake (Oregon)

Thanks! It's actually been on my to-do list forever. I had the redlink watchlisted. Sometimes its easier for me to improve something someone else has written than get around to writing something myself. New users do come in handy that way. :) Happy new page patrolling! Katr67 23:41, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reverts to Vista Murrieta High School.

Hello,

I am just leaving a comment on your talk page to thank you for reverting the vandalism of the article I mentioned in the headline. I'm glad someone did something to get rid of it. Yimfc724 02:57, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome - I just ran across a suspicious change in Recent Changes, and looked a little further, as high school articles are prone to this sort of thing. You (or any editor) can revert changes too; it just takes a little practice. Happy editing! Acroterion _(talk) 03:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
