Looks better. Now there are no red links on Jackie Robinson. Also, please start a new topic. BTW, did you know that User:Nothing444 tried the RFA? Although it was closed in minutes. --RyRy5 (talk) 00:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday (UTC time). Why? I don't know. Maybe too much enthusiam. I found this out at User talk:Enigmaman.--RyRy5 (talk) 00:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It was closed becuase of that. It didn't last very long.--RyRy5 (talk) 01:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking over your talk page...

....I see that you really care way too much what other Wikipedians think about you.--InaMaka (talk) 01:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC) ...I see that you might need to learn policies better. Would you be interested in adoption? Basketball110 00:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Basketball110: I'm sure that you mean well, but I don't need to learn the policies. You are making huge assumptions that the comments on my user talk page are based on anything close to reality. Most of the negative comments on my talk page are based upon the incorrect assumptions and prejudices of the individuals who made them. Also, unlike you I do not feel the need to have other Wikipedians like me. I don't know them personally. And I never, ever will. I will never, ever attend one of those Wikipedia Fests or whatever they are called because I do have a life outside of Wikipedia. Most of the comments above (on my talk page) come from people that really do care way, way, way too much about Wikipedia and as such they do not have a life. I have come to learn that there are just certain Wikipedians that will never, ever like me. And I don't care. They will find some policy somewhere and they claim--regardless of the facts staring them in the face--that I broke that policy and they will write up a nasty comment on my talk page for people like you to see and then you comment on it. Eventually, there will be enough Wikipedians--with similar (political) viewpoints to them and they will form a gang and they will start a Request for Comment page on me. Now, this RFC page is the Star Chamber of all Wikipedian Star Chambers. This gives everyone, no matter if they have reviewed my work or not, the ability to slam me until they finally just get tired. When and if I ever start editing again they will slam me until they get tired again and it will be based upon my work or the merits of any particular edit, but it will be based upon the fact that I had the temerity to point out that Wikipedia articles MUST be consistent across all categories and topics. Case in point: a few Wikipedians have taken upon themselves to remove MOST of the information in the Sidney Blumenthal bio about his drunk driving conviction. They have based that upon their personal belief that mentioning drunk driving convictions is a violation of BLP. But of course mentioning drunk driving convictions is NOT a violation of BLP. There is no set rule against it in the Wikipedian rules. But more importantly there are TONS of articles that mention drunk driving convictions. Just take a quick look at Mel Gibson's article, specifically the section called "Alcohol Abuse". Also, take a look at the article on Mel Gibson's drunk driving conviction = Mel Gibson DUI incident. The wonderful liberals that attack me on my talk page have even placed a picture of Mel's mugshot on the Wikipedia page. The article dedicated to Gibson's drunk driving convictions is very, very long and detailed. Now, when I mentioned these FACTS to the particular Wikipedians that kept removing the Blumenthal drunk driving conviction I was told that what happens on the Mel Gibson articles has NOTHING to do with the Blumenthal article. Now, I tell you these facts because you are coming to my talk page and reading just a few of the incorrect and fales comments on my page and you are jumping to conclusions about me. I know the rules. I probably know the rules better than you do. But I don't know. But I do know that I don't want you to ADOPT me. I just want you to understand that, yes, Wikipedia does not have qualifications or requirements to edit. But I can handle myself just fine. Also, I have a life, where I have adopted two REAL children and I have a wonderful life. When the Wikipedian, liberal thought police finally come for me with their RFC then I will quietly fade away from Wikipedia again. That's just the way that it works. If you really want to assist Wikipedia and make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia then you should use your time to make Wikipedia consistent across the board. Liberals such as Blumenthal should get the same treatment in Wikipedia as the conservatives such as Gibson. You would then be making a real contribution to the development of Wikipedia.--InaMaka (talk) 01:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD Worthy?

Hello! To answer your question regarding the AfD worthiness -- lack of notability, lack of independently verified references, self-promotional article. Do a Google search for the subject and you will see this is the case. However, I know the subject, which is why I am not comfortable offering it as AfD, due to COI issues. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 23:26, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ah, but there's the rub. I know the subject of the article, and I was afraid of a COI relating to that. If that's something you are able to do, I would invite you to put it up for AfD. Thanks Ecoleetage (talk) 23:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I owe you a game of one-on-one! Ecoleetage (talk) 23:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Roberts (radio)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Sam Roberts (radio), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rtphokie (talk) 18:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your Barnstar

Thanks a lot for your Barnstar. That was a great gesture and a real surprise. :D Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 21:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May WP:GM newsletter

I know I'm butting in, but I saw your message to Jza84 and thought I'd give my thoughts. The barnstar is a good idea, but we do already have one. It's always worth checking out WT:GM to see what's been going on recently, the stand out thing that happened this month that I think deserves a mention is all the activity on the Denshaw article. While it's useful to list the projects aims so that people don't forget about them, perhaps a progress report could be added? That last one particularly might be a bit time consuming so I'd be happy to help. Nev1 (talk) 23:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
