Re. Al Lohman: Thank you. It was my pleasure to do it. I was the one who first wrote the article under my previous username. I'm glad to have been able to call him a friend and mentor as well; we used to work together at Morris Desert Media in Palm Springs. In fact, he and I did a spec spot for a local car dealer in which we revived the Dominic Longo idea. He did his "Lohman" to my "Barkley." The spot was hilarious...the dealer didn't get the joke. Frankly, I thought the dealer would have flipped at the chance and I can't tell you how excited I was at having come up with the idea in the first place. His loss, but my gain having gotten to work with Al at length. Thanks again. --PMDrive1061 23:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Will do. The system says I've been sent a confirmation e-mail, but it doesn't come up. My firewall may be set too high. In any event, I'll be glad to send you an e-mail. Thanks! --PMDrive1061 15:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Hi there. Just wondering why you felt the need to apply the {{helpme}} template to another user's talk page. Best, --Bfigura (talk) 05:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm new. I'm not sure how to report a serial vandal - 4 vandalisms in one day. I saw the helpme tag and knew it would get your attention on that page. Apologies if I did wrong and I could not find any instructions on how to report a serial vandal - I've run across a couple who have 4 or 5 "final" warnings within 3 or 4 days. Could you help with that? Manway 05:26, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

If a editor has gotten a final warning recently, and has vandalized since then, you can report it at AIV. Be sure to follow the reporting instructions there, and an admin can take steps. Unless there's a backlog, it gets taken care of quickly enough. --Bfigura (talk) 05:29, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
By the way, a full guide is here. Best, --Bfigura (talk) 05:30, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of James Tyler (architect)

A tag has been placed on James Tyler (architect) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Mel Blanc

If you'd like, you can join in this discussion at Ted Watson's talk page; there, you will find a link to two other discussions concerning WillOakland's more-or-less nonconstructive edits. Cinemaniac (talk • contribs • critique) 01:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Palisades High School

Yep, I am. Class of '04. Thanks. Are you? --sstigler

[edit] Elks

The mention of the early Elks as Masons is relevant because much of the traditions and requirements are nearly identical to Masons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.15.48.58 (talk) 16:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Coors Amphitheatre question

{{helpme}} I just found out that the Coors Aphitheatre in Chula Vista, CA has been renamed. Someone has edited the article, but the title needs to be changed. Can I do that or does it need an admin? Manway (talk) 23:45, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

You can do that, if it is questionable first place the reason on the talkpage and discuss it, Cheers. Mion (talk) 23:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
To prevent editwarring state the reason on Talk:Coors Amphitheatre (Chula Vista, California) and invite the user who made the change to join the discussion. Mion (talk) 23:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Sorry about that - I have removed the warning. :) The Helpful One (Review) 20:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I have reverted my edit - which means that your work wasn't lost. Please look at the article to find that your work is now there. The Helpful One (Review) 21:00, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Heh, that's OK. Enjoy using Wikipedia and have a nice day! :D The Helpful One (Review) 21:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disruptions by 76.175.128.3

I've dealt with this person's vandalism on the Grant High School (Los Angeles) page as well and have managed to get Wikipedia to do a 31-hour block on them.... Keep a watch out when that lapses....Spitwater (talk) 21:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Palisades

I'm from Houston - the only part of LA I have been to is LAX.

When do you plan to return to Palisades? It would be great if you got pictures for the articles.

If you want to, you could make a trip to Palisades and get pictures of the following for Wikipedia:

  • Palisades HS
  • Revere MS
  • Marquez ES
  • Palisades ES
  • Palisades Library
