theatre, ballet, flamenco, player

Twenty years ago my best friend, a woman I went to college with, said, "Do you want to meet the most beautiful woman in New York?"

I said, "Yes," and she said, "Take ballet class."

I have not dated anybody I haven't met in class since. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robertgreer (talk • contribs) 01:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

What to Post?

Hello there J-Stan! Thanks for offering to help me out. I greatly appreciate it. I will definitely post something in your Sandbox about the college I work for except I'm not too sure what type of information you are looking for and how much of it you want. I saw a proposal stub on your sandbox from someone else. Is that what you're looking for? A blurb? A paragraph? Some basic 411? A rough copy? Not too sure so if you can let me know how to make things easier for you to put this all together, that would be lovely! Thanks!! Cwonga 23:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the helpful hints and warm welcoming. Enjoy your vacation! I'll work on a draft while you're away. Cwonga 21:20, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

New article

Hello J-Stan..this is Karyna from Thelmadatter's class. I want to ask you to come to the article that my group created. It is about a mexican writer called Manuel Acuña. We want to know what you think about it, and if we need to make some changes. We will be very pleased to know your oppinion. thank you. Park Lovers :D... The link for the article is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Acu%C3%B1a TiburoncinMK 02:59, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Kathryn NicDhàna‎

Heh. It was me who linked to the user page rather than the RfA. :) You see, I mistakenly created the RfA on an article about Kathryn NicDhàna‎, and had to copy and paste the text from the article I accidentally created into the RfA, and then I deleted the article. See this edit of mine. :) Acalamari 04:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it. :) -- Acalamari 20:02, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Thx spam


Thank you, J-stan, for supporting my RfB, which I withdrew at a final tally of (33/12/1). I failed to overcome the not unforeseeable opposition, but I am humbled by some extremely supportive, encouraging words I could read. In order to honor your trust, I once again vow to continue working and improving. Please contact me should you have any advice or recommendation to give. Or, should you need assistance. I am, as will always be, at your service. Again, please accept my most sincere gratitude.

Best regards, Húsönd 02:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Update

Hiya boss, just thought I'd show what I've been up to. I performed my 1st "merge" here, and made my 1st "category" page here Ryan4314 (talk) 11:54, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

WP:EA#George_Biondo

Regarding your comment at Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests#George_Biondo: Although the article is unreferenced, I can not recognise anything that could seriously be conceived as libel in Lars951's revision. Similarly, I can not recognise anything biting about any of Lars951's actions. The IP claims to edit on Mr Biondo's behalf, which if true constitutes issues of WP:COI, and regardless of that there appears to be a problem of WP:OWN. |dorftrottel |talk 19:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. We're an encyclopedia, not a charity case. As long as there is no actionable libel involved, the subject of an article has no say whatsoever in what is being covered, as long as it complies with our content policies. |dorftrottel |talk 19:54, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Or let me rephrase: Which part of Lars951's edits would you describe as potential or actual libel? |dorftrottel |talk 19:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I'll read along, but I think you've got it covered pretty well. |dorftrottel |talk 20:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I wrote a new version of the article (actually my older one that kept being reverted) and referenced just about everything. I don't know if Biondo's rep will revert, or what action I should take at that point, if any. Lars951 (talk) 15:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Pomp and Circumstance

Ok yea, I can always come back and ask u a question if I need to anyways.

Speaking of which, will u let me know when ur RFA is up? Also do u have anyone to nominate you? And what's Newspage patrol all about? ;) Ryan4314 (talk) 07:35, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Re:Userpage vandalism

No Problem mate, curious as to why the user has a vendetta towards you. Rgoodermote  18:11, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Is that it! Wow, the things people get mad about. Well you have a good day. Rgoodermote  18:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Human Development Index Vandalism

Someone had vandalized the HDI data and the past top countries section to show only India and China, so I reverted the page to the most recent and correct article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.231.135.212 (talk) 03:57, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, this page has a clear history of vandalism in the last several days, which has subsequently been reverted by you. I fail to see what the issue is with me simply reverting the page to the most recent unvandalized version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.231.135.212 (talk) 04:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jamie Bishop

Thanks for the heads up, but I brought this article to AfD to gain the consensus of a larger group of editors. There is already considerable discussion on the article's talk page, but only between myself and the article's author. HokieRNB (talk) 04:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
