STATUS: Due to the anticipated imminent arrival of Hurricane Irene, I am likely to be unavailable for some period of time. My ISP service has already been interrupted once this morning (Saturday), and both my area and the area where my ISP operates are expected to be subject to power outages later today, possibly extended outages. So I'm quite likely not to be editing for a while, even after I finish off storm preparations.

Hullaballoo Wolfowitz is back after a long absence. And after a longer period of silence. I do not know how long I will stay this time. The last time I did what I could to follow policy. But I was regularly hounded by aggressive editors because they did not want to. Perhaps things will go better this time. I have watched discussions and arguments for months.

Hullabaloo Wolfowitz originally edited when volunteering at one of his local libraries. Much more often, these days, while helping babysit sleeping (and otherwise) grandchildren. He's therefore prone to disappearing abruptly and returning after unpredictable intervals, so please allow time for him to respond. (And the hard editing work has to wait for the kids to sleep).
Hullaballoo Wolfowitz is, as of July 2011, the only Wikipedia editor who has added a reliably-sourced reference to amateur marmoset-raising to a Wikipedia biography.

		The Barnstar of Integrity
		Even though we're on opposite sides of the inclusionst/deletionist divide with respect to the article in question, it was downright refreshing to read your well-reasoned, well-worded, calm and collected argument in favour of deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rachel Roxxx (2nd nomination), considering how some of the other editors voting for deletion decided to go about phrasing their arguments.
