April fools?
Hey Moni,
It is that time of year again... a little more than a month before April fools day and no one has taken initiative on a featured article for the Main Page. Since you did such a great job last year rounding the troops for Museum of Bad Art I was wondering if you had anything in mind for this year? There are some good suggestions at Misplaced Pages:April Fool's Main Page/Featured Article, but no one has anything at Featured Status yet. Just wondering if you would be up to it again this year and i would be more than willing to help out.--Found5dollar (talk) 17:11, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, Found5dollar! Long time no talk page. I hope you've been well in the last year. See this discussion on the FAC talk page. Not sure what will happen, though. --Moni3 (talk) 17:15, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! i just posted there. Hope everything is going well with you in the Wiki and the real world!--Found5dollar (talk) 17:34, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
No apology necessary
Thank you for your response to my comment on Malleus page. I thought it more appropriate to respond here. I always try to see the good in other editors, and presume in the first instance that conflicts are the result of miscommunication or personality clashes. Text based editing is not a good medium for communicating the nuances.
I have never lost the respect and admiration I have for your work since we interacted at "Mulholland Drive" (I still love that film!). Though I've always been confident of our mutual respect, I appreciated very much your kind Xmas message to me. I hope you will continue to contribute positively to the encyclopedia, and will be happy to help out if and when I can. Geometry guy 22:29, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
- Likewise, G-guy. Best of luck working on Action potential. I wish I could do something there but I am utterly hopeless. --Moni3 (talk) 22:52, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Münchausen by Internet
Just noticed that you've got this up at GAN again; if it lingers in the queue I'll do it. I know you specifically requested an experienced GA reviewer, but I may be your best offer. Added to which I actually started out as a psychologist believe it or not– I know, hard to believe, but true nevertheless. :-) --Malleus Fatuorum 22:43, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
- You are welcome to do it today or any other day. I know you won't let anything slide and it deserves valid scrutiny and criticism. --Moni3 (talk) 22:48, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
- Given the controversy last time this deserves a careful look at, but I'm going to be a bit busy with some RL writing over the next few days. If this is still in the queue by the end of the week we'll give it a jolly good roasting. Even if someone else picks up the review I'll probably stick my oar in anyway. --Malleus Fatuorum 22:55, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I look forward to it! --Moni3 (talk) 23:00, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
With every funny thing that was posted on my talk page yesterday, none is as knee-slapping as this. Talk:Münchausen_by_Internet/GA2 --Moni3 (talk) 14:52, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Experienced medicine editor? I have never encountered this editor anywhere. Maybe I need new glasses. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:54, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Not sure if I should go to WT:MED, WT:GAN, or Afd for this turd. It is my understanding that articles should simply have the best quality sources and writing, not be qualified as a specifically categorized thing, malady, condition, etc., but simply be accurate. Have I been to this point completely misguided and incorrect in my thinking? --Moni3 (talk) 14:56, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- I left samples there of the faulty logic; what guideline says we can't create medical articles on anything except formal diagnoses, and no sub-categories of those? And I'm seriously put off by editors who toot their own horns as a justification for a completely irrational fail. At this point, all you can do is laugh; the strength and weakness of GA is one and the same (one editor determines your fate). I'd say sit on it for a few days, wait for Malleus to advise what to do next. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:08, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

- Oh dear, you're having no more luck with this than I do with Irish articles. The review was of course ridiculous; it really does piss me off when people use reviews to force their own misconceptions, misunderstandings, and prejudices, instead of simply assessing the article against the relevant criteria. Seems strange that an "experienced medicine article writer" would consider Munchausen by internet to be a type of Munchausen by proxy, instead of a type of Munchausen syndrome. Ah well, what to do next. If there had been a proper review done I'd have said take it to GAR, but it was quickfailed on a misunderstanding of, well pretty much everything. When you feel like it, I suggest that you open another GAN. Let me know as soon as you do and I'll pick up the review immediately so we can avoid any more of this kind of nonsense. --Malleus Fatuorum 17:23, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm taking Sandy's advice and taking time away from the article, and here. However, my question was not rhetorical. Do I have a fundamental misunderstanding of what GA criteria are? Are there separate criteria for med/psych articles? Must an article, to be tagged as WP:MED or WP:PSYCH be its own condition to be eligible for GA? I was under the impression that if an article is notable enough to stand alone and is well-supported by excellent reliable sources, that it has the opportunity to become a GA. Is this incorrect? Should I invest any more time on this article or should it, in fact, be merged or deleted? --Moni3 (talk) 22:44, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- The review was inadequate. I have archived it. (This is not the first time I have done this.) The nomination is now ready for a proper review (e.g. by Malleus). Geometry guy 23:13, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- What a nice day on Wiki! World peace times two ! Bring on the next joke thread, Moni! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:41, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I know the feeling
:) I don't remember doing precisely that one, but, oh, I've done plenty. :/ --Moonriddengirl 17:39, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- Can I just blame you for popping up on my watchilist right below an unsourced OR edit on an article, both of your entries the same length? Somehow...it's not really my fault *whimper* --Moni3 (talk) 17:43, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- Certainly you can. :) In fact, I never reverted the page owner himself, but I once reverted a perfectly legitimate talk page comment from somebody else for the same reason. Well, I don't know if it was the same length, but they were close and my finger must have slipped. (The edit summary of the one I meant to revert was one of those lovely "Replaced page with" kind of comments.) :D --Moonriddengirl 17:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- With every edit I improve...or make a complete cockup of everything. It's a crapshoot. --Moni3 (talk) 17:54, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

This comment was pretty amazing, in a Zen kind of way. pablohablo. 21:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: Invasive species of the Everglades
Replied at my talk page. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 22:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- If overwriting images, in future can you delete the old non-commercial revisions please (I did this one for you). These images shouldn't be on wiki even as an old revision especially if these files get transferred to Commons. Let me know when you are done replacing/removing the images and I'll review them and re-consider my oppose. Best, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 22:15, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm trying to figure out what to do here. Images always make me feel like I just walked into a high school algebra class, naked as the day I was born, to realize that I have to take a test that is to be administered by Enya. --Moni3 (talk) 22:43, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Okay I'll attempt to explain. Apologies if some of this stuff is basic and you already know it.

- File:Lobate lac scale.jpg as an image is fine becuase it is licensed as "Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License". Whereas File:Neyraudia reynaudiana.jpg (and the other files I listed) are not fine because they are licensed as "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License". It is this Non-commercial that makes it unfit for Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages needs commercial and derivative licensing (see this for the different types and thier suitability). What to do with the unfit images you uploaded. Delete them as Misplaced Pages:CSD#F3. If you replace the image with a valid one (i.e. upload a different version to the same file name instead of uploading it to a new name) then the unsuitable revision needs to be deleted. There will be a delete option next to the old picture at the bottom of the image page. Hope all this helps. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 23:56, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
July 2009 Ürümqi riots
Hey Moni, I just wanted to drop by and see if you're still interested in giving this article a copyedit. Best, rʨanaɢ /contribs 01:20, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yes I am interested. Have you read Rosewood massacre? It's ever so uplifting *headbang* If not, might I suggest you give it a quick read through? --Moni3 (talk) 01:25, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- I did skim it and read a couple sections back when you first mentioned it, but I haven't sat down and read it start to finish yet. I'll try to get on that before the end of the week! Thanks, rʨanaɢ /contribs 01:31, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Just to note that I have renominated The Avery Coonley School as a Featured Article Candidate now. Since you helped with the peer review, you may wish to comment on the FAC review as well.
Thanks again for your help!

Back to more important matters
Your talk page is filling with trivia; there are important matters at hand:
- Have you bought the book yet?
- What are the three things for Abraham Lincoln? (Maybe Malleus will help me out there ... )
- Classic New Jersey (201) i just lost my virginity for the 9th time. when will guys stop believing that nonsense line
- California, of course (559): So I heard you only slept with me because you were drunk...is that true?
- (1-559): That depends on who this is.
- (928): Maybe we should try and tone it down a notch. The neighbors changed the name of their wifi network to "i can hear you having sex".
SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Talk pages are for divulging secrets you would never tell your mother. For instance, I thought I broke my iPhone. I was almost as depressed as the day I broke my vibrator. Furthermore, my dad is going to jail this weekend; where are we going to get our weed from? And that girl I took home from the bar last week. She wouldn't stop saying her own name. Like a damn pokemon.
- How dare these infidels come here to try to "improve articles" and "collaborate amicably". What asses. --Moni3 (talk) 14:35, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Ohio has imagination constraints: If we're like this now and women reach their sexual peak in their 30's, I can't even fathom what our futures hold. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:44, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I hacked into your journal, Sandy, seeing this: "In the middle of sex he stopped to tell me that he loved me... then slapped my ass and told me "back to business"... im gonna marry him." I was disturbed yet so oddly intrigued.--Moni3 (talk) 14:48, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Disturbed? Why? Can you suggest something better? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:57, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

- Well, food: His text read: Sex? I replied: Not drunk enough. He bought 4 more rounds and tantalized me with the offer pizza later. This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.--Moni3 (talk) 15:06, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Pizza? I think its part of male evolution. Pretty soon they'll have diamonds on them and taste like chocolate. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:19, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Could be worse, like some kind of female de-evolution: "Don't really want to talk about it. You were right. She had a whole jar of toenail clippings on her nightstand that she chews on "when her fingernails are too short." Direct quote." --Moni3 (talk) 15:31, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I had a roommate like that. If a man's penis is referred to as "the family jewels" does that make a woman's vagina a jewelry box? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:41, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I should use this as a RS for my observations on pep squad dynamics: "It's a law of Nature, girls naturally hate eachother. It's only when there's no competition for a mate that they can hate each other a little less and then are appropriated into the "BFF" slot." --Moni3 (talk) 16:34, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Speaking of pep squads, you should switch to baseball. *I* was disturbed to find this in your journal: "I'm retiring my vagina. Better yet I'm Farve-ing it. That way it can come out of retirement anytime and play for different teams. And it can wear Wranglers." At least in baseball, they don't pretend to retire from the game. PS, run a spell check on your journal: it's Favre. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Was it the Favre reference that disturbed you or the bringing it out of retirement reference? I dunno. I might keep it where it is, depending on who's doing the asking: awkward like he asked me out for a "rest of the summer make out buddy" thing and I kind of had a female testicle retreat moment". --Moni3 (talk) 17:51, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I think if you don't know anything about American football, you shouldn't be using it as a reference when "farving" your jewelry box; stick to food, diets and fasts. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:03, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Our next session will be to list, in order, who gets to play this: Let's play a little game called "Chill the Fuck Out" - you're our first contestant --Moni3 (talk) 18:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hell, no: my next session is going to be to go through the "Cocky pick up line of the week" archives at askmen.com, and post my comebacks. It's so kind of them to provide that, so I can help prepare unsuspecting women worldwide. :) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

- I was considering posting a Urinetown response just to bug our grumpy old Brit, but I thought you'd like this musical Brit more. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:54, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I... uh. Should I not have posted the blow section? Was that wrong? Where am I? Why's it suddenly hot in here...? María (habla conmigo) 14:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hahaha Maria. Blow section. No, just jump in the game. Go to Texts From Last Night, find a particular hilarious one, attribute it to someone who doesn't deserve it and wait for the ensuing chaos. --Moni3 (talk) 14:58, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Wow - hilarious site. Guettarda (talk) 17:00, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
In need of advice
Dearest Moni (and Moni's talk page stalkers), I'm in need of admin-related advice. Another user and I have been gently battling with a strong-willed anonymous user (who utilizes a number of IP addresses) at various articles, most notably Louis Marshall and History of the New York State College of Forestry, for the past few months. This anonymous user has a problem with adding superfluous, and at times misleading and incorrect, information. Despite messages to their variety of talk pages, and prompts to discuss their additions on the talk page, there has been NO communication between this user and any other editor. They simply reinstate the disputed info when it's removed. No edit summaries, no nothing. It's very frustrating; I even unwatched both articles for a while, despite my interest in the subject. I know that WP:AN3 or another dispute resolution venue would normally be the next step, but seeing as how the user is willfully uncommunicative, and continues to switch IP addresses, I fear it might just be a waste of time in this particular circumstance. They aren't vandalizing per se, but their repeated efforts to include shoddy info is bringing the articles down, man, and I don't know what to do. In all of your infinite wisdom—which includes shiny admin skills—is there anything you would suggest we do? María (habla conmigo) 14:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- This looks like a rangeblock issue, which I am thankfully inexperienced doing. I protected Louis Marhsall for two weeks. I see an IP added info to History of the New York State College of Forestry yesterday that has not been reverted, and I don't wish to overturn edits that may be valid. I can protect that article too and ask for advice at ANI if you wish. Or we can wait for the highly intelligent and stunningly attractive deadbeats who patrol my talk page to jump into action. What would you prefer? --Moni3 (talk) 14:57, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, Moni! I'd totally forgotten about partial protection whatsitstuff. However, you say "rangeblock", and I hear a whooshing noise in my ears; is that good? I gave up on History of NYSCF awhile back, as it just has far too many issues, despite best efforts by DASonnenfeld, who's relatively knew to Wiki but a genuine expert in the field. I'm not sure if protection will do much good there. But by all means, attractive deadbeats are worth waiting for any day. ;) María (habla conmigo) 15:05, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Rangeblocks are one of those buttons given to article writers like me, where I can hit it by mistake as if playing sloppy jazz piano, and block the entire Northeastern United States from contributing to Misplaced Pages. Not that may be a bad thing necessarily, but I so regret posting "oopsie" after an admin action. Someone with experience should take a look at this and suggest if a block should be made or some other action. I posted it to AN to see what they have to say. No doubt it will start a thread somewhere about how content editors should never be given admin abilities. --Moni3 (talk) 15:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

- Great, thanks. I'll check in on the AN, but truthfully the place scares me somewhat... María (habla conmigo) 15:54, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- But, ohemgee, now the anon is posting their dubious material to Bob Marshall (wilderness activist), one of my most beloved FAs, under yet another IP address. (They also apparently have a thing for paisley. Strange.) María (habla conmigo) 15:57, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- It's not ANI, so most of the scathingly witty responses that make you want to ask if you can have the last 3 seconds of your life back and your memory scoured from having to recall ever reading that thing while simultaneously pondering how anyone can waste so much time and effort consistently inserting useless commentary for a permanently cranky audience are absent. On the other hand, like a plugged nickel in an empty tin cup, earnest requests for assistance at AN could rattle around uselessly. We shall see. I'll watch both articles and protect the NY Forestry article if necessary. --Moni3 (talk) 16:01, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I just protected Bob Marshall. Where are these edits from? They have bracketed cites in them as if copied from another Wiki article or other source. --Moni3 (talk) 16:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

- The info was copy-and-pasted from what was previously removed several times from Louis Marshall's article here, plus the " Marshall's interest in conservation extended to the national stage" paragraph from LM's page added for context, I suppose. Louis is awesome is everything, but I'm admittedly a little protective of The Bob, okay? I admit it. They'd previously added the fact that he went to school with J. Robert Oppenheimer, which is obviously just too fascinating to like not mention on Misplaced Pages!!1 Three times. (Oh, and your brilliantly rendered sentence describing the horror-show, oh-no-car-accident-can't-look-away hot mess that is ANI is spot on. The place gives me the heebie jeebies.) María (habla conmigo) 16:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- You don't have to convince me to protect the integrity of FAs. I just left another message for the next IP . This sounds perfect for a situation to be ignored. --Moni3 (talk) 16:23, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, Moni, you're a gem. Oh, and I've been intermittently browsing Texts from Last Night, and now I'm addicted. Although not addicted as I am to this milkshake I had the other day. It was so delicious I was introducing it to people. Guy from my psych class was like "This is my girlfriend, Erica," and I was like, "This is my milkshake, Oreo." (Did I do it right? I don't even like Oreos, but that made me giggle.) María (habla conmigo) 16:39, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- As evidence of just how special I am (and that can be taken both positively and negatively), Mrs. Moni and I have been going to Steak n' Shake once a week to get their classic Coke glasses, not because I'm such a huge fan of Coke, but that class green tinted glass makes me want to build something out of them in the windowsill. I'm not really 5 years old, I just like sparkly pretty things. I think Coca-Cola decided to tint their glass that irresistible green color when they decided to drop cocaine from the formula. But the Oreo milkshake is always an integral part of the meal. Unlike you, I fear how much the milkshake is tantalizing, shamed by my desires. I take a few bites and push it away, confused and sensually aroused at once. You are much braver, making the milkshake your bitch basically. --Moni3 (talk) 16:47, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- If you want to know a secret, I am as dependent upon the milkshake as it is upon me. It's because of my deeply ingrained insecurities that I overpower it, sucking and slurping its protective cup dry again and again, leaving nothing but a few crumbles behind as a proverbial bitchslap, an insult to injury. If I were a more confident individual, able to recognize my own self-worth outside of my uncanny ability to devour a 42-ounce milkshake in under five minutes—screw you, brainfreeze, I win again!—I would be able to let the milkshake simply be itself: thick, overpoweringly sweet, and perhaps even a little too chunky for its own good. I would be able to savor its goodness as you do, bit by bit, rather than demean its very existence. But no, I have to show it who's boss, and for that very reason, I will never be completely happy. María (habla conmigo) 17:54, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I was going to post something just as brilliant as that post, but I got called away from the computer and forgot. That's a sign from God. I won't even try to compete with that. I'll just curl up in the corner and cry because that shit was hilarious. --Moni3 (talk) 18:06, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- It is pretty good: Maria needs to add that diatribe to a "spit or swallow" blog. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:07, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Can I just say it's more fun to read your talk page than to read Texts From Last Night? =D -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 18:15, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Finally. My talk page a few months ago was a hoot. It's been a barren wasteland with tumbleweeds lately. Per the thread above about Favring my cooter, I considered making an analogy to bringing my talk page out of retirement, but I wonder how that might play out when people basically consider my talk page as my genitals. Even I consider the limits of poor taste every once in a while. --Moni3 (talk) 18:18, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- If that's the case, I've been entirely too involved with your genitals today, Moni. Whatever will the Mr. and Mrs. think? (Other than, "wow, Misplaced Pages is freakier than I thought!" that is) María (habla conmigo) 18:39, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Maria, I'm not complaining. Just laughing my ass off. --Moni3 (talk) 18:41, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Good thing I have no hot water to speak of despite living in Arizona—because I need that kind of shower. --Andy Walsh (talk) 18:42, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

- Maria and her milkshake dirty talk can do that to people. It is a powerful language. --Moni3 (talk) 19:02, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Chocolate on the house
Someone needs to get an account and define my girls. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:33, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hey! The 2010 South Florida Environmental Report came out two days ago and here I am talking about Texts From Last Night and milkshake lust. I have 13 chapters to read and 4 articles to update. What are you doing? How is it you have chocolate to give away? Would you even ever do such a thing? I'm unmoved by chocolate... but it is Girl Scout cookie season... --Moni3 (talk) 19:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Wouldn't you like to know what I'm doing ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:46, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I could make it up, which is inevitably ten times more entertaining than what you're probably doing. --Moni3 (talk) 19:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Prove it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Trying to figure out if you have to put on underwear to go to the Piggly Wiggly. --Moni3 (talk) 20:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Never thought about that-- do other people wear underwear to the Piggly Wiggly? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Certainly not when ordering cakes. --Moni3 (talk) 20:24, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- (ec) I don't know about Piggly Wiggly, but they definitely wear underwear to Walmart . --Andy Walsh (talk) 20:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Jeez, Andy. Pass the fork. I need to gouge my eyes out. That should be labeled NSFLAE=not safe for looking at ever! --Moni3 (talk) 20:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Huh? Well I certainly don't mind a badonkadonk. --Andy Walsh (talk) 20:37, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Or bananapants either. I'm imagining a vast wardrobe of spandex bananapants that you put on to edit Misplaced Pages....--Moni3 (talk) 20:40, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- Good grief. I see "chocolate" in the edit summary, which invariably draws my attention, and here I find out that people are discussing my Misplaced Pages-editing wardrobe... Risker (talk) 20:42, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- You and Andy have a bananapants exchange going on. I knew it. ArbCom is thick with cabalish behavior. --Moni3 (talk) 20:44, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- No comment – iridescent 20:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- "It's a great way to swim and sunbathe but I'm intrigued to know what it is like shopping naked." I can safely say, as curious as I am, I have never wondered what it would be like to go out in public and shop for, say, cheese graters. --Moni3 (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I see "my girls" still hasn't been defined; I've been hijacked. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Pardon me?
Please restore the block that you undid immediately. If you have questions about why I placed it, or would like to open a discussion on it, I am open to your input. If you would like to seek outside comment, WP:AN/I is the proper venue.
Given that you Malleus Fatuorum hasn't commented (let alone requested an unblock) and you haven't made any effort whatsoever to discuss the block with me, your action is a serious misuse of your admin tools. I am composing my post to AN/I now, seeking review of your extraordinary action. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 03:38, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- I support Moni's actions. It seems on the surface to be a highly suspect and overly harsh block, Ten. Keeper | 76 03:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- No, I don't think so. It's not an effective block. It's punitive. --Moni3 (talk) 03:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
