[edit] This edit

I noticed you left a helpful reminder to the user in this edit. You might not have noticed, but that user was blocked indefinitely for being an evil Sockpuppet. He'll never read it. Always check the user page for items like that. Orangemarlin 11:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ear Candling

Thank you for improving the article - but I feel too much was removed. See my comments at Talk:Ear candling. Thanks —SaxTeacher (talk) 14:55, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Points and lines

Thanx - I saw duplication as soon as I hit the link you provided. Also, flagged mathematical relaxation (order theory) on math requested articles as a possible duplicate. Soooo many articles requested, so many more on the missing list! Hotfeba 17:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Madigans

Hello. I noticed you nominated Madigans for speedy deletion using a script. Though I obviously agree the page should be deleted (and was the one that proposed deletion), you should know that neologisms don't satisfy the criteria for speedy deletion over at WP:CSD. I've found it's helpful to use one of the dedicated deletion tags linked to on that page, though some people seem to have unbelievable memories and can just cite the CSD codes in the regular DB template.

Yeah, I would support the addition of a few more speedy criteria. A lot of editors think, though, that we have to be very liberal in what we allow at first because the articles can improve. For example, maybe we are both very ignorant and in fact madigans has actually been in the OED for years? Of course, if the page really is complete nonsense, then it can be speedied. nadav 03:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rfm

I have recently put in the effort to remove the blockquotes and replace with summaries. Please tell me what you think.--Urthogie 02:59, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Lucky Night

I agree with you entirely, the section is now vastly too short, especially compared to most other Scrubs pages, however, the purpose of my edit was to address the god-awful original plot and also the grammar/spelling/punctuation. I would appreciate someone adding to my edit, but think that the shorter version is better in the meantime compared to the original. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RaseaC (talk • contribs) 13:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] names

I have copied the requested page & its talk page onto User:Andrew Robertson/names. Please don't leave it there indefinitely but after you've seen it & if you decide to, worked on it for another article, of for substantially improved content, place {{db{-userreq}} at the top of the page. If you want to keep it longer for a day or two, I suggest copying it into a local file. Please read also the deletion log for the relevant arguments.
