[edit] Image:Dean Karnazes at Napa Valley Marathon 2008.jpg

Hi did you take this pic?Genisock2 (talk) 00:23, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Yup, took it at the race expo (I ran the race this year). I also took a picture of Dick Beardsley which I added to his page--Image:Dick Beardsley at 2008 Napa Valley Marathon expo.jpg. I meant to set the image settings to show that--did I do it right? -- Narsil (talk) 02:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Rod Blagojevich

yeah narsil he did admit to watching all hannah montana episodes. Is the truth vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.236.174 (talk) 18:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, first of all, that would hardly count as a "controversy" along the lines of the Rezko trial! If he's a fan of Hannah Montana, that might be appropriate for the "biography" section, but really it doesn't seem to me to be important enough to mention.
That said, if he did really say that, then I apologize for using the "joke" warning for you. I assumed it was just a silly prank to put that on his page. In a case like that, though, it's helpful to actually put in a link to the source for your claim. I suspect other editors would agree with me that it isn't worth mentioning, but it wouldn't be mistaken for vandalism. -- Narsil (talk) 18:58, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cosmopolitan trivia

Hi. Since you added the {{Trivia}} tag to the Cosmopolitan (cocktail) article (and it needed it), I'd like your opinion on how I rewrote it into more of an article format rather than a list of disconnected items. I'm still not sure if I like it or not. There seems to still be a bit too much trivia packed into it for my liking, but I'm not sure what to cut -- if anything. I'd still like to use the section to show it's popularity, but not be bloated. Your thoughts? Or go ahead and be bold and edit it however you see fit. Aside from keeping some sort of Sex and the City reference, I'm pretty open to any changes. The perfume is also pretty interesting. The Lobsterpolitan seems quite a stretch to me. The Office reference leaves me kind of feeling like, "So what?" --Willscrlt (Talk) 13:27, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I'm pretty new here myself, but it looks to me like you did a fine job. Personally, I'd drop the Office reference from the article entirely--it seems to be more of a joke about Sex In The City than it is about the drink--but that's a judgement call. The SITC reference, on the other hand, seems appropriate, since (a) it's a major TV show, and (b) it's a significant running joke in the show (and it makes sense to keep the drive-through story as a typical example from the show). Anyway, this is much better integrated into the article now, instead of just being a bulleted list of factoids. So, nicely done! (And yeah, I'll go ahead and nuke the Office ref, since neither of us seems thrilled with it...) -- Narsil (talk) 16:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
