:Hi Agre22. Yes, I did place a tag on the article stating that I felt it was a candidate for deletion (the guidelines for which are [[WP:CSD|here]]). I didn't actually delete the article, that would have been handled by an administrator who looked at the page after I tagged it, and agreed with my assessment. If you'd like the article to be brought back so that you can work on it, [[WP:AFTERDELETE|that can be done]].

== Username problem ==

Hello Bfigura. Thank you for the welcome.

Regarding the username, thanks for the heads-up. I am the only person that uses this account. I picked a username that indicated my employer so that I could get any questions of conflict-of-interest out of the way early on. Since my workplace is sometimes involved with controversial issues and people, I thought it wise to be upfront about it. However, if the username is a problem, wouldn't it be easier to rename the account? I'm not sure what benefit is gained from starting anew.

Thanks, --[[User:Hoover Press|Hoover Press]] ([[User talk:Hoover Press|talk]]) 02:41, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to my talk page. Please feel free to leave me a message.
Also, I like context, so I'll probably end up writing my responses here, then copying & pasting them to your talk page.
If you're here about an article I flagged for deletion, please feel free to leave me a message,
but I'd suggest reading Why was my article deleted? if you haven't had the chance to do so. Many common questions are answered there.

Re: Wilson article and MSNBC story

It proved difficult to find a citation that was not from an opinion piece or a traditionally conservative news source. But if you read further in the article, it says:

"What the bill says about illegal immigrants The House bill says illegal immigrants cannot get subsidies to take part in the new insurance system, but doesn't have a specific mechanism to verify immigration status. Illegal immigrants residing in the United States would be required to have health insurance."

That said, I don't really mind if the citation is removed so long as the text stays.

I left the text (since it was backed by another citation), but since the bulk of the MSNBC article seemed to argue against that point, I thought it made more sense to move it to the other section. Best, --Bfigura (talk) 15:47, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Wilson

Your contribution to to the [Joe Wilson (U.S. politician)] has been reverted, it is not relevant to his biography. Its proper place would be the article about the upcoming election in his district. EricLeFevre (talk) 16:24, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I more or less agree. See the talk page of the corresponding article. --Bfigura (talk) 16:25, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mark the change as minor when I added the content. I marked it minor when I added my signature. --Ring Cinema (talk) 03:49, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that comment was directed at Legis, not you. (Legis had been making changes to the article and marking them as minor, despite content alteration). Best, --Bfigura (talk) 03:51, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sorry. Do you think the forecast belongs there? I think on balance it doesn't even though I posted it. --Ring Cinema (talk) 03:54, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which forecast would that be? --Bfigura (talk) 04:00, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Placid Oil

Hi Agre22. Yes, I did place a tag on the article stating that I felt it was a candidate for deletion (the guidelines for which are here).

Username problem

Hello Bfigura. Thank you for the welcome.

Regarding the username, thanks for the heads-up. I am the only person that uses this account. I picked a username that indicated my employer so that I could get any questions of conflict-of-interest out of the way early on. Since my workplace is sometimes involved with controversial issues and people, I thought it wise to be upfront about it. However, if the username is a problem, wouldn't it be easier to rename the account? I'm not sure what benefit is gained from starting anew.
