Malia Ann Obama's birth year

There was further discussion of Malia Obama's birth year on the talk page last week. It's since been archived to Talk:Barack Obama/Archive 18#Malia's birth year revisited. In short, the sources for saying that she was born in 1999 are more solid than those saying she was born in 1998. Please don't change the year back to 1998 unless you have more definitive sources. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 20:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice contributions.

Except for the plain links. It would be much better not to put external links into the body of the text. -- Scjessey (talk) 13:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Barack Obama article

This edit was unconstructive potentially contentious. The materialy you apparently seek to delete was boldly deleted already, a discussion begun, and the material re-inserted pending outcome of the discussion. By re-deleting it while discussion is ongoing this edit serves to initiate a revert war. In case you do not know, this article is under special supervision due to its contentious history, and editors may be temporarily blocked by administrators well short of WP:3RR violations. Your edit also had the effect of removing a number of uncontroversial changes that had been made to the article during the intervening period. Please respect our efforts to keep the article stable, and editing orderly. Thanks, Wikidemo (talk) 21:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

support request

I am hoping you can join in arguing to support and keep an article on Obama's brother. Check out the discussion/debate at

A "new" article for Malik Obama----

is sure to be nominated for deletion; so I've actually done so myself here even though I believe it now passes muster due to Maliks multiple press mentions (which had not yet been catalogued when contributors had so very recently weighed in on its "Obongo" iteration. Please be patient with this proposal while those interested weight in again. (I'm notifying those who commented.) — Justmeherenow (   ) 06:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Please look over the current options for Rezko language and pick one to help us get to consensus

This is a form notice, not a personal message. I'm sending it out to the most recent contributors to the Rezko discussion at Talk:Barack Obama. Sorry if this is inconvenient, but we may be close to consensus if we can get your help.

Hi, I've noticed you've been a part of the Rezko discussion but haven't said which of the options now on the table you'd prefer. It would really help us to get to consensus if we could get your input on that. There's been plenty of discussion, but if you have questions, I'm sure other editors would answer them. The four options now on the table are the three in Talk:Barack Obama#Straw poll and Talk:Barack Obama#Scjessey-preferred version (which doesn't contain the word "criticism"). So far, the two most popular versions seem to be Clubjuggle's Version 3 and Scjessey's. Please help us try to wrap this up. Noroton (talk) 17:51, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm inviting your comment

Illinois Senate career of Barack Obama

May I ask why you have added so much Palmer-specific information to Illinois Senate career of Barack Obama, almost none of which is related to Obama, rather than to Alice Palmer (Illinois politician)? -- Scjessey (talk) 17:58, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Ann Dunham

Thanks for the edit - I agree completely that we have to be careful when basing an encyclopedia article on memories that are 47 years old - especially when they are contradictory. I hope we can stick to your wording. Tvoz/talk 18:00, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Dunham again

You might want to look at Talk:Ann Dunham#Anna & Barack Obama in Seattle, Washington, 1961-62. Thanks. Tvoz/talk 18:34, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

February 2009

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on The Audacity of Hope. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.  Sandstein  15:00, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Gerald Walpin article

I would encourage you to read the sources listed before jumping to errant conclusions. The wording used in no way qualifies as a soap box, as it is the precise wording the Hill used, and perhaps you meant some other source when claiming that the Hill is not RS, because that is an incorrect assertion. Good luck! Trilemma (talk) 12:51, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
