I'm taking a break...
We have had a so-so working relationship, but as you are one of the more prominent contributors to television station articles, I've decided to write this to you directly.
I'm taking a break from editing for a while. There's too much going on with me in this place that I need to regroup, enjoy the summer, and refocus. I feel that there is a lack of cohesiveness and willingness to share opinions and work together the way we should here, at least in certain areas. Right now, all of this is coming to a head for me, and I've decided to take a step back. I'm not sure when I'll return, but I will. Keep up the good work, and hold the fort until I return.

Merge of Clemson University football recruiting scandal
I have initiated a discussion of a merge of Clemson University football recruiting scandal. The discussion thread is here. Please feel free to contribute to the discussion. This invitation is in accordance with Wikipedia merge guidelines, and should not be mistaken for canvassing.Thör hammer 01:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
NASCAR
Hello there, B.B.96, i have a curious question. See, recently, I have been going through NASCAR driver articles and adding their 2008/career statistics (e.g.Dave Blaney). Do I need to site a reference where I got those stats? Thank You--Dominic Edward Aragon (talk) 02:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

This month's newsletter was designed and written by Wizardman, jj137, and Blackngold29. If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please contact the Baseball WP outreach dept. |
Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29 |

Neutralhomer
I have a request for unblock at User talk:Neutralhomer, whom you blocked indefinitely in March. No comment on the merits, but he has posted what appears to be a sincere (and lengthy) apology for past conduct. I took no action but to note that I would ping you - so, ping.

[1] Since he was 86'd he's been republishing the same links outing user Filll that got him blocked over at Wikiversity and warring to keep them up:[2][3] Clearly he hasn't learned anything. Wanna guess who's helping revert removals of the links there? Same person trying to get him back here:[4] Odd nature (talk) 00:02, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

What are your thoughts on unblocking this user and allowing him to change his name and make NPOV edits to the Flying Pigeon article? The article doesn't seem to have had much work lately and allowing someone close to the subject matter to work on it might improve our coverage. Oversight would of course be required to ensure it's not overly advertisy... thoughts? –xeno (talk) 15:51, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

AdultSwim
Are you seriously endorsing a ban on this editor for a mistake they made over two years ago? -- Ned Scott 06:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to thank you for looking at my unblock request. It honestly was just a space that I wanted to put things since I was trying to understand my block.I apoligize for my edit warring. it did get crazy. I was fustrated. I was trying to get him to contact me and was trying to find an adminsistrator to help, but I am new to wikipedia I do not understand it fully. honestly my first impression of it is very poor. I held it high in regards to valuable information. I honestly do not anymore. I honestly feel it was kudos to me for making first contact instead of the constant undoing that was happening to the edits with no form of contact. The undo button is actually really easy to see it is out in plain sight, or I thought it was. I really am a new user. Dont understand the protected you put on my page but I thank you for giving me a valid reason for my page being blocked. I would like assitance if thats ok I wrote dreadedwalrus a please do not contact me again request. Since he misreads everything I write it seems. I understand these talk pages is where you put this sort of stuff is that correct? If not where? Also should I run into a problem with him again how can I contact an administrator or someone that can help?
