Thank you

Thanks for the quick reversion of the vandalism to my user page. I do appreciate it. --JFreeman ^(talk) 18:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

user page vandalism

Thanks for fixing mine. To repay you, I've fixed yours. Cornell Rockey 02:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I've already listed him. He just hit us both again. Cornell Rockey 02:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Refinancing

Hi Dycedarg. Scot184 is removing the content at refinancing based on a conversation at my talk page. In short, he's claiming copyright on the text - he added it based on a misunderstanding of how it would be attributed. I'm going to look for alternate sources and rewrite the content, but I'm going to remove it (as unverifiable) if I can't find anything useful. Thanks for watching the page! Kuru ^talk 00:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense. I was kind of confused, because he removed the text without an edit summary and marked the edit as minor, which seemed like vandalism, but had a number of edits beforehand that definitely weren't. I left a note on his talk page asking him to leave edit summaries if he's going to go deleting stuff, but it's nice to know why he did it. Dycedarg ж 01:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Yup, it looked like a textbook random deletion. I've fixed up the article a little - it looked like most of the material he added was kind of already mentioned, so I removed the text and added a few cited mentions in the other paragraphs. The article still seriously undersourced and probably needs a complete makeover. Again, thanks for your great work on RC patrol. Kuru ^talk 02:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

IQ by race

I need a second opinion, so I'll bug you for one. Does this article belong in an encyclopedia? Cornell Rockey 16:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Race & Intellegence

Stop removing the table or I will report it as VANDALISM --Kevin Murray 02:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• I will agree with you that the table should be rewritten, but I'd like to see some consensus first on what it should contain --Kevin Murray 02:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• I think that this table can be a way to introduce a broad range of objective material to the article. The suggested alterntive is more narrow focused research --Kevin Murray 02:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• I support the deletion of the other article, but there is broad support for redirect to this article. Since redirect is not specifically the topic for discussion at the AfD, it is not a valid "vote" forum on the proper inclusion here. This is the forum at which that discussion should be held. --Kevin Murray 02:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I put a modified chart at Talk:IQ by ancestry as some work-in-progress for discussion. Of course the referencing problem remains and some of the independent entries might be ommitted. Is this getting toward an acceptable format? After spending some time looking through the references at the original chart I can see that they don't really tie to specific data, but that can be overcome. Your thoughts?

Thanks. --Kevin Murray 06:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I put a note below your nomination to offer the alternative format for discussion, along with a summary of the AfD thoughts. This is a bit unconventional, so if you object, feel free to change, move, or delete the note. Thanks. --Kevin Murray 07:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, thanks. I agree with your change and that we will see little more activity at the AfD, but I might pickup some help with the research. --Kevin Murray 07:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Refinancing

Hey there, I deleted the section about refinancing types because that was content I added originally, and after speaking with Kuru, I decided to take my information down as it wasn't from a reliable source. It is my own content from a personal weblog which he deemed inappropriate for Wikipedia. Thanks.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scot184 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

re: Eternal Decision

Shouldn't the person who puts it up for deletion give a reason as to why. It is my understanding that not every single fact on wikipedia needs to be sourced, only if it is considered controversial and I see nothing on the article that would qualify it as such.--E tac 09:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
