| Hello ArglebargleIV. Thank you for fixing the mistake that I made in creating my sandbox. I had a feeling that I was doing something wrong and I had been too lazy to go to the section where they tell us how to start a sandbox. I appreciate the time you took in fixing my mistake and in letting me know about it on my talk page. Thanks again and cheers. ] | ] 21:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC) | |||

| =="Originally drafted"== | |||
| First of all, a player can be drafted more than once. | |||
| Secondly, "originally" creates better flow with the first sentence that says he is currently on this team. He is CURRENTLY on the Dolphins, yet he was ORIGINALLY drafted by the Jaguars in 1998. That's essentially how it's supposed to be read. It's better writing, and I'll continue to do it.►''']'''<sup>'']''</sup> 02:47, 7 October 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ::I'll respond here, since obviously Chris won't let me take part of a discussion on his talk page, even though I've had the same discussion with him in the past. To say "originally drafted" implies that he was drafted more than once. In most of these guys' articles, the player wasn't drafted more than once, so the word "originally" is redundant and unnecessary. ''']'''<small>]</small> 07:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :::I agree with you on this point, but I don't feel like fighting it out, because as it stands it would be a fairly lame edit war. Maybe the American Football wikiproject talk page would be the place to gain consensus one way or the other. -- ] 13:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Unfortunately, this discussion has already resulted in an edit war between Chris and I... well, kinda. Because of past actions, Chris can't make more than one revert on any page in a week span. It's kinda like a more limited version of ], like 1RR, but over the course of a week, not a day. This restriction lasts for six months. ''']'''<small>]</small> 15:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == Fsswsb == | |||
| Your messages on ] make it a bit awkward for an administrator like me to block Fsswsb because I have to go against what you're saying. I'm just telling you in case you don't realize it; it's not a big deal. -- ] (]) 12:18, 8 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :In regard to ], I think I'm confused here. I don't quite understand what I did to make things more difficult for you. I'd like to know so I don't do it again -- believe me, I certainly don't want to make life difficult for any administrator, y'all have enough on your plate as it is. Thank you. -- ] 14:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::Sorry for being so concise that I didn't made myself clear. If you say "You continued replacement of that with your latest twiddle of an image you created as your latest fallacious disproof of the theorem is considered disruption, and it has to stop now, or it is certain that you will be blocked", you are in essence saying that he won't be blocked this time. So when I did block him, I was in effect disregarding what you said and pushing through my own opinion, namely that Fsswsb should be blocked. I don't like to overrule a well-respected contributor like you. Also for tactical reasons it's better if we can present a unified front, so that it's clear what's allowed and what not. | |||
| ::Let me try to put it in another way. Do you think that Fsswsb should have been blocked for his latest edit to ]? If you do think he should have been blocked, then you shouldn't say (or imply) that he won't be blocked. You should preferably find an admin to block Fsswsb, or if you don't have time or energy for that, not say anything about blocking. If, however, you think Fsswsb should not have been blocked, then your comment is fine, and we simply disagree about the matter. -- ] (]) 18:08, 8 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == Evolutionary Astrology entry == | |||
| Hi - I saw that you flagged the article I wrote as being written like an advertisement. I was specifically trying to make sure it wasn't that! So I was hoping you could perhaps give me some advice or at least point so some of the sections that you think need to be revised or some specifics as to what you think the problem is? I'd love to fix it so that it's not a problem. My main confusion is that Jeff & Steven were the creators, so I do mention them a lot, but I'm not trying to say that evolutionary astrology is good or bad so can you give me a general direction so I can fix it? Thanks! :) --] 06:50, 2 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ===Thanks for the info=== | |||
| Hey ArglebargleIV thanks for telling me about the copyright issue. If I have permission to use the text from ListenUp am I allowed to post it if I prove it? Also, I get that it is directly a copyright violation, (should've seen that before you pointed it out to me) but how does the article qualify as spam? I feel like everyone is using the spam definition broadly-unless I'm missing something extremely obvious. Which I could be considering I didn't even think of the copyright thing. | |||

| == Revision to Giant Oil and Gas Fields == | |||
| ArglebargleIV, thanks for giving me a heads up and flagging my new article on Giant Oil and Gas Fields. I've rewritten it (i was the original author yesterday) in what I hope is a more encyclopedic style addressing the synthesis flag that Carados left and your copypaste flags. I went back to my sources, reviewed new ones, and completely rewrote the entry citing all references and being sure it paraphrases the sources, does not lift right from them. Please have a look and remove the tag if you can, or add any more guidance if not. I separately wrote Carados about the synthesis tag, which I hope is also addressed. I wrote a featured entry on Black Seminoles more than two years ago, but had not come back to do any original entries since then, so I'm just getting my chops back. --] (]) 17:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Declined Speedy Deletion == | |||
| Thank you for expressing your concerns. When I view an article for speedy deletion as an advertisement, the first thing I look for is reliable third paarty sources and a proper assertion of notability. I felt that this article had alot of room to improve as it was written like an advertisement, however had a certain core value to it. In short, the article was not the best but in my opinion did not qualify for speedy deletion because it was cited, asserted notability and contained some valuable information that may have needed to be reorganized to adhere to a NPOV. Hope that helps! If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know. ] ] 20:14, 14 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

Re: Super Bowl Winning Head Coaches
Thanks for the heads up. I actually just started the article about 20 minutes ago and used the MVP list as a starting point and just edited the names. It should be almost updated now. Also, it looked like the NBA had a separate list, so I figured the NFL one should be separate. If people decide to add it to the Super Bowl article, that's fine but its pretty long as is so I would advise against it. Jairuscobb (talk) 23:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Btw, just curious, how did you find my article so quickly? It isn't linked to anything yet...

Cars 2 AFD
no problem ... I was going to drop an AFD notification on your talk page, but I won't litter your backyard now that you've noticed it. Regards User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Sony Ericsson S500
An editor has nominated Sony Ericsson S500, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Sony Ericsson S500 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 00:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Practise and practice
Hi! Thanks for letting me know about this. I actually changed it because I thought that someone had just got the two confused, I honestly didn't know that it's different in American English. Strikes me as a bit stupid that it didn't even cross my mind. I'll be more careful about it in future. Thanks for letting me know! 172.143.153.74 (talk) 19:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
