Mike'd UpBaluchistan honor killingsHi, thanks for the positive comment about my work on Israr Ullah Zehri. However, I'm not happy about your edit, or about the creation of the article entitled Baluchistan honor killings, which I think seriously understates the scale of the problem. There's no factual basis to assert that the phrase 'Baluchistan honor killings' refers only to a single incident, i.e. the five women who were buried alive in August 2008. Please refer to this Times article: [Three teenagers buried alive in 'honour killings'], which states that honor killings are common in Balochistan and other areas of Pakistan, and cites the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. The only distinguishing feature of the August incident in Balochistan is that the women were buried alive. Please either correct or reverse your edits - thanks.

In reply to your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Nevard hereIn Wikipedia:Deletion_policy, in the subsection "deletion discussion" under section "Processes", it says "Follow the instructions at the top of the relevant process page." In the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, in the subsection called "The following are practices that should be avoided:", it says:
People making very complicated recommendations like
Makes the closing administrator's job unreasonably difficult. The person making the recommendation should go find out all of those details, and make one succinct recommendation. Just to describe the research process that should be followed and expect somebody else to do it, is not helpful.

I was about to post to the talk page to explain my reversion so your action was prhaps too hasty. Anyway, the text in question is best left while the matter is discussed so that other editors can see what we are talking about. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC) Re: Technical helpHi there, been on holiday so sorry for the delay. The problem was in the Iconstasis subbage. You need to close html tags, so where your Iconstasis subpage starts with a "div" tag, it needs to end with a "/div" tag. I fixed it for you - take a look. It seems to work fine now. Incidentally the image:Symbol support vote.svg should be used for Good Articles, rather than the FA star, which should really be only for featured articles. Good luck with getting some more symbols!

Jordan Timmins (talk) 18:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC) Re: help offeredThe Muhammad Ali article is very poorly sourced. One problem I have is over the term Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital. It is now called Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital but was once called NY Presbyterian Hospital: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Presbyterian_Hospital In 1984, when Ali was admitted to the hospital, it was called NY Presbyterian Hospial, so..what do I call the hospital...best regards and thanks in advance. I think i can do one of those Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital thingies that you gave me on the newbie pages..not sure though http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F06E7DC173BF93AA2575AC0A962948260 btw, as you can see from the above posted link...it is half broken. This is not really a big deal because I can go to a local public library and confirm it on microfiche. Johndoeemail (talk) 06:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Cappy (Kirby)If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding Kirbys and CappysSorry about the quick redirect - I was actually trying to do what you were apparently doing, averting a quick delete. I put the redirect in for quick overwriting to save the spot. There's quite a bit out there in several contexts about the Cappys... now I'll just get out of your way. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 22:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
You have a response in my page. -- Alexf42 10:46, 26 September 2008 (UTC) WaMuWell, there are $28.4 billion reasons to think that senior debt is not entirely irrelevant. And they are the one who saved the depositors. Otherwise the FDIC fund would be bankrupt today. I hardly see this as not belonging to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.195.119.31 (talk) 01:57, 27 September 2008 (UTC) Hi. If you are the editor who's additions I changed when I made this edit [1] please don't take it personally. Understand that I wasn't referring to you directly when I used the word "you". I really meant "in general, one shouldn't" rather than "you, Brewcrewer, can't". I've re-added the information [2], expanded it to keep the information from (what was presumably) your edit so as not to offend you and added a few references from well respected and reliable sources to support the information I've added. If you have any problems please feel free to let me know or revert the changes. Ha! (talk) 22:55, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I thought it was more WYSIWYG. I was looking at the bottom of the articles to figure out how to make a reference. But there was obviously nothing there. I thought when you edited the Mike and the Mad Dog article, you made reference 59, reference 60, then made reference 58, reference 59. I did not know that the Wikipedia software did it automatically. I was looking at the bottom of the page instead of looking at where the reference was created. ...I am rolling know.. As far as Columbia-Press is concerned, I have been going there every month for the last 20 years and stopped going there about 2 years ago. So they changed there name within the last 2 years I guess. This is probably just another reminder that verifiable sources are more important than personal experience. You were not confused...I was :) That Muhammad Ali article is seriously missing some citations and, my goodness, he must be one of the most quotable persons in the history of sports. But thanks so very much for all your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johndoeemail (talk • contribs) 02:51, 30 September 2008 (UTC) New Page PatrollingTemplate:Uw-patrolled NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 00:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Tenenbaum, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template
