[edit] CSA Location Map

Could you add Indian Territory and the CSA Arizona Territory to the map? They were both under CSA control for at least the first year of the war. Nicholas F 03:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nice edit

Good job on The Shawshank Redemption POV removal. Keep it up. OverMyHead 06:58, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I am less sure of your removal of all the "differences." I know they're true (though they are unsourced and I agree with that), so how would I cite them? OverMyHead 21:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I look forward to editing with you again soon. OverMyHead 21:27, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your half-blanking of the article on "hate mail"

I can't believe you half-blanked the Hate mail article. I find it an outrageous and intolerable misconduct for an administrator to vandalize Wikipedia himself. 213.37.6.65 03:34, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Replied on user talk page. Deltabeignet 06:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I do not find the text you removed to be "speculative" in the least (at least, not anymore than the few lines you left), and you did not give any good reason to justify your radical action. Radical changes to the article (such as deleting most of its current text) should first be discussed in the talk page, otherwise they fit the definition of vandalism ("Blanking: Removing all or significant parts of pages or replacing entire established pages with one's own version without first gaining consensus both constitute vandalism"). So do not call me incivil for calling your action vandalism, because it does fit that definition ("removing a significant part of a page —more than half of it— without first gaining consensus"). If you find the current wording to be "pablum", then put a "clean-up" tag, or move the unreferenced parts to the talk page requesting others for references/comments; just do not arbitrarily and unilaterally take away half of the contributions of others without consensus. 213.37.6.65 17:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I told you what Wikipedia guidelines say is the right procedure to introduce radical changes to an article: first discuss them in the talk page and reach a consensus. But you have preferred to ignore it and go on with your unilateral decision to half-blank the page, so you have made it clear that your edit is not in good faith as you claimed. By refusing to abide by the correct procedure even though you have been made aware that not doing so fits the definition of blanking, you have now consciously vandalized the page, and if you continue to do so I will report your behavior to the administrators' board. 213.37.6.65 23:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sharon Bush

Hey Delta, I had a slight concern I wanted to bring up. I don't want to make a huge deal out of it, but I always hope that if someone has a concern about something I do they will discuss it with me, so I wanted to show you the same courtesy. I noticed that you deleted Sharon Dahlonega Raiford Bush as nn [1]. Now it was a lot of things, including a huge mess, an NPOV nightmare, and a big COI problem, but I thought it did make several assertions of notability that made it not qualify under A7. For example:

She has worked as a news anchor, field reporter and producer for CBS, ABC, NBC and FOX affiliates.

...the nation’s first ethnic weather anchor...

As the Communications Director for the Memphis Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, Bush initiated and implemented an award-winning media solicitation and placement campaign and executive-produced the first televised National Blues Music Awards.

For more than ten years, her voice was regularly heard on “Soul Train,” a nationally-syndicated dance show.

She worked alongside former President Jimmy Carter in establishing the Carolinas’ first Habitat for Humanity initiative.

And more. Some of these may be kind of weak on their own but IMO together they make the article not qualify under A7. Anyway, sorry to be a pain, hope you take this in the spirit it's intended, of constructive discussion. I'm certainly willing to carry on the discussion, drop me a note.

[edit] Helen Keller! The Musical - trivia section

Please do not delete the trivia section of Helen Keller! The Musical. Assuming good faith, if there is something in the section which you disagree with or feel should be written differently, I invite you to rewrite it as you see fit. But wholesale blanking benefits no one. Thank you. Captain Infinity 22:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
