Re: Transclusion of signature
So I can't usee the \{{User:Averross/signature}}? I'm not objecting or bitching or making excuses or anything, but I just see it all the time. Is there substitution method? I do like my siggy. Also, I'm not sure what your second comment meant. --Averross 18:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC) :( -Okay, I figured out how to properly get the signature using preferences, now all I can't figure out is your second comment. --Averross (u♠t♠c) 18:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC) -Okay, I see now.

Re:Vandalism
Awww...noobie admin!
Hehe, if no vandalism has occurred within 24 hours of being issued a final warning (t3 or t4), then I won't block. If the person has been blocked very recently, you can go directly to a t4 warning. If they vandalize, then you can block. For now, I won't unblock since I think the IP is not being shared, and should still remember being warned just two days prior for vandalism. Btw, congrats!

Jackie Barnes
You deleted his page but he has done extensive touring worldwide and recorded on over 15 albums? You said you deleted it because of a google search? Jackie has his own official website www.jackie-barnes.com and is mentioned on www.jimmybarnes.com and www.jimmybarnesonline.com if you do a google australia search you will find a lot more results under his name due to the release of his song "Same woman" on the Double Happiness record. Will you reconsider re loading his page? it has been there for quite a while now until you deleted it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thongchai4286 (talk • contribs) 18:25, 2 March 2007 (UTC).
- I will talk to the person who runs his website. He is still dealing with google in terms of getting the page searchable. I think it is to a degree for the moment. so far the forums seem to be coming up.
There are some factors that show he is eligable to have his page re loaded. He sung a duet on the Double Happiness album by Jimmy Barnes. That album debuted at number 1 on the Australian charts. The song from the album "same woman" has been on rotation in radio in australia as well as in many cd stores around Australia. He has toured internationally as a drummer with Jimmy Barnes. The band has toured UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. these have been reported in newspapers etc. He is currently recording the new Jimmy Barnes album, and has done some writing for the new Living Loud album with Steve Morse and Bob Daisley. His website shows the 20 albums he has appeared on as a soloist and drummer. In the children's group The Tin Lids, they were nominated for the ARIA award for Best Children's album, I believe it was 1992 or 93. There are plenty of recordings on his site available to listen to and youtube videos.
Surely there's enough there to merit his page being re loaded? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.136.22.4 (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

edits to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Hello ! I see you have added a proposed text in the "Deathly Hallows" article [1], however this proposal was still being debated and was thus uncomplete.
It seems you have been misled by the words of User:Sandpiper, who has manipulated my previous sentences in order to make me say something that does not correspond to my actual opinion and which does not reflect any of the concerns I had raised.
I had expressed doubts at the beginning, but he didn't listen and directly proposed his text for integration. I then objected, and pointed out that it was still uncomplete and still needed to be worked on before being acceptable for the article. However, Sandpiper then started to argue that I "had not the right to express my opinion" after having already said something a week before. More over, he kept ignoring every concerns I had raised in my original statements, and he just wouldn't allow me to have an opinion now.
That he has spoken in my place, and that he has manipulated my words in order to make me sound like I agreed with him, while it was not the case, and that a proposed text was integrated in the article without consensus (while there was a debate going on), is just unfair. It's not normal that a contributor, who is not me, could talk in my place and pick up only the words he likes among my messages, and leave the rest aside, thus depriving me of my right to object. Folken de Fanel 00:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Here we go, for the record I am copying here the entire exchange from FdF where he commented on this version for the 'hallows' section before I waited, then posted it for inclusion:
- Well, sounds good. I guess this issue didn't deserve so much time and energy wasted, after all...Just a little comprehensive effort from Sandpiper, and almost a week of fighting is over. Congrats'.
- Just a little thing, your proposition is exhaustive as to relics hallows, it would also be interesting to cover some shrine hallows (anyone has an idea ? Stonehenge, maybe ?) Folken de Fanel 22:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- I put this together, but as I pointed out above, I am certainly not an expert on the subject of hallows in legend. My paragraph about legends with hallows may be acceptable, but is it correct? It seemed to me that Lulurascal contributed considerably to this section, and we havn't heard her opinion yet. There is also the issue that we do not address the meaning of 'deathly', which I have seen people confusing with 'deadly'. Sandpiper 07:46, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- Anyway, as far as speculations and "hallows in HP" are concerned, i have nothing against this version. This a preliminary version of course and others can share their knowledge of literary hallows, but it seems appropriate for a de-blocking of the article...Folken de Fanel 15:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

- This wasn't my fight. The edit war was with two other editors. While I agree with them more than Folken,I'm not convinved that debating with someone who can't make up his mind is likely to produce a solution. Sandpiper 18:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

- Actually in all of this I really only see one problem editor. I've counted something like five reverts by User:QuackGuru in the last 24 hours. I realize that blocking is not punative but I am inclined to file a 3RR report against him. If he were prevented from editing I believe that things would quite down and the article wouldn't need protecting. (→Netscott) 22:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Here are the reverts:
- rv1: 23:12, 9 March 2007
- rv2: 06:43, 10 March 2007
- rv3: 07:27, 10 March 2007
- rv4: 21:42, 10 March 2007
- rv5: 22:19, 10 March 2007
They're not all reverts of the same content save a few of them but WP:3RR says for all reverts. (→Netscott) 22:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Disruption, edit warring, careless reverts disguised as edits, misleading edit summaries, refusal to discuss after being asked to by the protecting admin... not to mention a borderline disruptive username and deprecated signature format. Gwen Gale 22:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- From my understanding, User:C.m.jones was also very involved with edit warring over the images (about which there is larger disagreement, even if not everyone is reverting). I think leaving it protected for a while would be best, while you attempt to hammer out things on the talk page. I will warn User talk:QuackGuru that further reverts without discussion (after protection is lifted) will result in a block (blocking him now would prevent communication over the issues, so I think it would be a mistake). Trebor 22:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- True, and User:HighInBC but I see three reverts each for both of them. Also User:C.m.jones was an editor at the center of the last article protection. (→Netscott) 23:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keeping to three reverts avoids violating the letter of WP:3RR, but it is supposed to be an electric fence not an entitlement. I don't think the edit warring can be wholly pinned on any one editor, so keeping it fully protected until things cool down and people start discussing makes sense to me. Trebor 23:07, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- True, true. Still I see a large difference between 5 reverts and 3..... you might like to join the last discussion thread on Talk:Essjay controversy. (→Netscott) 23:09, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Truth be told, everyone was discussing things rather calmly until QuackGuru went on his revert mission back to a much earlier article state. Everything about this user is either borderline or flauntingly outside WP policy. Thanks for following things either way though :) Gwen Gale 23:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Revert warring

- Yes, probably not a good idea and I'm now involved. But the tagging is against consensus and, at times, downright silly (like the expert tag). Trebor 17:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Large pathetic galaxy
Sure! The reason I closed this as no consensus was that there were solid arguments to delete, good ones to merge and redirect, to just redirect, and to move to another title. "No consensus" doesn't necessarily mean anyone necessarily argued to keep, it simply means the participants in the discussion didn't come to a clear consensus on what should be done. Of course, merging/redirecting, moving, or just redirecting are editorial decisions and need no AFD, so if you want to keep discussing it on the article's talk until a conclusion's reached, please do! (The other thing I do advise people to remember is that AFD is a discussion, not a vote, so "I think it should be deleted but I'd be alright with redirection" is a perfectly acceptable position, and can help to prevent no-consensus trainwrecks.)

Schalliol
Hi, Trebor, I'd like to request you undelete the Schalliol page. Here are the reasons:
- It clearly meets notability requirements, with at least five books documented discussing the important role of the family in French history to the present day and linkages to significant places and works of literature. In this case, the surname is what unites the events, people and places.
- The article brought into line with the comments of the admin who initally flagged it, Húsönd. A discussion was ongoing with him to improve the article before discussion was halted.
- You note you agree with BTLizard, who states: "It's just a name. I've got one; you've got one. Nothing special here." BTLizard was commenting on an early version of a page that seemed to be more vanity than anything else, with no significant detail. His comment is no longer appropriate, given the changes to the page made in reference to Húsönd's comments.
- Additionally, there are numerous established surname pages with similar content, such as Keats and others. In fact, Schalliol has more detailed and historically significant information than that contained in those pages.
- Even thought most people commented on the early, less detailed version of the entry, there were more keeps than deletes. While I understand admins ultimately determine when to close discussion, there were clearly comments supporting both approaches, and the process was leading towards sustaining this newly substantial article.
I look forward to your response. PS I was going to add this to the deletion review page, as is suggested at the end of the deletion discussion, but I saw the deletion review page suggests individuals contact the admin first. Thanks, again. AoS XseedX 15:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- I felt the article did not meet notability requirements: although there were five books, they were all authored by the same person (a Schalliol), and published by Belle publications (a possibly vanity press, who focus on printing genealogy books); there was no evidence of any wider notability. Many of the people supporting keeping had been involved in creating or editing the article, which suggested they would not be neutral, and contributed towards my decision. Of course, you are very welcome to take it to deletion review. Thanks. Trebor 16:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, Trebor. It sounds like your primary concern is the breadth of sources for determining notability. If I were to provide you with a broad range of citations (not published by Belle or written by a Schalliol) documenting the family's history and consequential significance, would that satisfy you? I hadn't gotten around to posting those yet, but I'd be happy to do so now. Oh, and I know it's only a minor point, but one of the books wasn't written by Willis Schalliol or published by Belle. The cited, English version of that book was, however, published by Belle. Thanks again. AoS XseedX 17:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, if you did that I'd reopen and relist the AfD to get further consensus on it. Trebor 17:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Trebor, I've been really busy, but here are a couple of citations and information about Belle's book placement. I'll add some more citations as I have time. Given that it's a holiday weekend, that may not be for a bit. I've stepped out of indenting here because of the length of the post:
- Theurot, Jacky. "Racines." Revue du Parc National du Queyras, 1987.
-Contains considerable study of Christophe Chaillot and the family, in general, to better explore the "traditions, to conjure up the history of the country, to project into the future the richness of an inheritance that the Queyrassins reconverted for this remembrance." Here, Challiots are used as the quintessential example of Huguenots and especially their relationship with the Edict of Nantes. Chaillots are described as "a noble and prominent family of the Dauphiné," and Christophe himself is described as "master of the town" and then later "Adviser to the Parliament of Dole by letters patent by Margaret of Austria, dowager Dutchess of Savoy & Countess of Burgundy" and still later "counsellor of Margaret of Austria."
- Tivollier, J. & Isnel, P. "Le Queyras (Hautes-Alps)." Gap, H-A: Louis Jean, Imprimeur-Editeur, 1938.
-Contains significant discussion of François de Chaillol as significant actor in the role of the Queyras Valley, as described in the entry, in part.
You indicate concern about the quality of the publisher Belle and its authors, so I provide the information below to allay your concerns:
Here is some information which The English translation (by Erka Gautschi) of the Eugen Bellon "Scattered to All the Winds" book cited in the entry. The text contains dozens of pages on the Challiols and Challiots. Unfortunately, I don't have the book on hand at present, but you can verify this fact via the Amazon.com book page in the index. While this book is published by Belle, it is not merely a vanity publisher, as can be seen by the book's placement in at least 65 WorldCat cataloged libraries, including the following: Harvard University Divinity, Cambridge Univesity, Chicago Public, Purdue University, Abraham Lincoln Presidential, Kansas Public, Penn State, Dallas Public, etc. Which can be verified here.
As for Willis Schalliol's books about the family from Belle, they have been adopted by libraries as diverse as Indiana State, Public of Cincinnati, Los Angeles Public, Abraham Lincoln Presidential, Stephen F Austin State University, Denver Public, Sarasota County, Huntington Beach, the Library of Congress, and Alibris, among others.
Belle also published a book uncited in the entry until now in 2005:
- Schalliols around the world : a family history from 1283 to 2005 by Willis Schalliol; Paul Challiol; Françoise Tchobanian; Giovanna Challiol Rossi; Esteban Challiol
AoS XseedX 15:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

- Okay, looks good. When you're ready, I'll restore the article and reopen the AfD to see what people think. Rather than my talk page, how about putting the sources on Talk:Schalliol, and dropping me a note when you're done (I'll then link to the talk page from the AfD)? There's no rush. Trebor 16:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Dominican Republic article
Hello, Trebor:
The past few days there has been what I would consider an edit war (or at least the beginning of if). An annonymous user has added (and tries to add more) of what several editors consider POV information. I've undone three times one section that has not been agreed upon on the talk page. This user has also accused of vandalism pretty much everyone who opposes his point of view. This user's type of vandalism (64.131.205.111) is kind of hard to spot, that's why I'm going with so many details here.
Is there a way that we can get some sort of moderator to check on this? Maybe semi-protect the page? Dominican 21:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, the talk page is a mess at the moment. I've blocked the editor who was insulting everyone. The IP editing doesn't appear to be simple vandalism (although I may be wrong). I can't semi-protect the page if it is a content dispute, as that would disadvantage the IP editor. In that case, you should try dispute resolution. Hope that helps. Trebor 22:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
My Rfa
Hello, Trebor. I just wanted to drop by to thank you for your kind support on my recent Rfa, it succeeded! I hope to live up to your expectations. Oh, and feel completely free to yell at me if I ever screw things up =) Have a great day! Yours truthfully, PeaceNT 07:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Fixed links to logs
Hi Trebor, I took the liberty to fix the links to your blocking, deletion and protection logs on the top of this page -- they still linked to "Trebor Rowntree". Phaunt 10:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oops, usurpation (is that the word?) sometimes seems more trouble than it's worth. Anyway thanks, much appreciated. Trebor 11:01, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Template:UnsignedIP
Regarding your recent protection of this template, it seems to be causing the "protected" message to show up on my talk page. Is that supposed to happen? It looks a bit intrusive. Regards, PC78 11:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC).
- No, that was me making an utter hash of everything. Apologies. Trebor 11:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Alkivar
As an outside opinion what are your views on this situation? I attempted to get a topic on the administrators' noticeboard here, however it appears the topic became muddled halfway through with no real conclusions being drawn. –– Lid(Talk) 12:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- I would say that the removal of the information was justifiable (under WP:V, not WP:BLP), and that adding it back in unsourced is a bad idea. WP:V says that any material that is challenged needs sourcing, and the removal of the information is an implicit challenge to it. However, full protection is too strong a response (and doesn't allow users to readd sourced info), unless there's been a large scale edit war (even if there has, talking/warning the parties involved is usually a better idea) or it is a pressing BLP issue (which it isn't, because they're not living). So I'm somewhere in the middle: obviously the information should be sourced to somewhere before being added back in, but as they're not living, the intensity of the response can be less than if they were. Hope that made sense. Trebor 13:10, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Re:Speedies
Wow, thank you very much, Trebor! I'll copy the script into my monobook. Everyone around seems to know a lot about script, while I am, like, ignorant :) Gotta learn more! It's really cool to know something new. Best wishes, PeaceNT 17:15, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I would like to just post on your talk page and ask you to block these as I find them, as I intend to search for them. If you disagree with my doing this, please let me know. However, I would appreciate if you would help out with this, as it makes much less work for me.
User:Doerpfel User:Brya edits: [3] includes the italicization of higher taxa and stilting unreadable taxonomy jargon, [4] the italics, plus categorization (although the latter almost always done correctly by Brya).
Let me know.

Kevin Pietersen
Hi,
In your mind, are you satisfied with the Kevin Pietersen article? It seems fairly stable at the moment - do you think it is ready for FAC? This will be the first article I've put a lot of work into that has reached this standard, so any assistance would be gratefully appreciated.
Is there any more major work you wanted to do?
Best, –MDCollins (talk) 15:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm satisfied, yeah. There's nothing major I want to do. I'll probably run through it once more to check the prose (as best I can), but feel free to nominate it. I think it's looking pretty good. Trebor 15:38, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, just remembered something. Could his career at Hampshire be expanded any further? I know he barely plays, but even words to that effect would be good. "Domestic career" seems a bit unfinished without it. Trebor 15:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
-
- I've expanded the Hampshire section as you suggest, explaining why he doesn't appear very often. I'll have a read through again later or tomorrow, and will nominate it then. Should we wait for the Test match graph to be updated? –MDCollins (talk) 16:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think there's any need to. The graphs are often going to be a bit out-of-date; that's the result of trying to keep up-to-date stats on the page. I'm happy with it as it is. Trebor 16:15, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Burntsauce
I'm sure you will be aware of the user Burntsauce, s/he has a habit of stubbing articles, then reverting any attempt to undo the stubbing and then the article gets slapped with a lock by either Alkivar or Myleslong.
Looking in the Yokozuna article history [5] I noticed that you unblocked this page after Alkivar locked it following an "edit war" (which was all of four edits), that page and Rico Constantino are both currently blocked and I was wondering if you could unlock them so I could begin to add sources.

Nevertheless (band)
I notice that you previously deleted the band's article. Please restore the best version of the article to my second sandbox User:Royalbroil/Sandbox2 (if any versions are usable). The artist has become notable with several nationally known hits on Contemporary Christian music radio. I'm sure they have charted. I will not bring the article into mainspace until notability is asserted. Royalbroil 01:10, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Done. Trebor 09:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for restoring it. How does something like that get speedy deleted, when it has a cited reference showing it charted on a national chart, a national tour, and two albums released on a major record label? Unbelievable.
I know that you did not delete this version yourself, so my comment is not directed towards you.Royalbroil 12:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)- How much editing/citing do you want to "prove" that the band is notable before I restore it to mainspace? I have added your talk page to my watchlist, so please reply here to keep everything together. Royalbroil 13:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, I'm pretty busy at the moment and haven't got time to look into this. If you restore it, I won't delete it. Trebor 20:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry for my negative tone in the prior posts. I find it frustrating since there have been several Christian pop music artists with major hits have been speedy deleted. It defeats the purpose of WikiProject Contemporary Christian Music. Royalbroil 02:09, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Block request
I've never made a block request before, so please forgive me if I don't know the ropes. Over the past year, a person named Rebecca Urian periodically vandalizes the Cillian Murphy page by replacing the subject's wife's name with her own. If you check the history, you'll see that she's done it with different user names and without logging in. Today she resurfaced as Rurebecca92 -- it's a new user name and her only "contribution" was to again write herself in as Murphy's wife. Can she be blocked? Thanks, Melty girl 19:52, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- For simple vandalism, the easiest way to get a block is to report the vandal to WP:AIV. If they are a general vandal, you will have to go through the warning templates before reporting them. However, since this is a returning vandal under a different username, report them straight to the noticeboard with a sentence explaining that. In this case, I've blocked the account for you. Hope that helps. Trebor 20:47, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

A request for your consideration regarding CAT:AOTR
Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member! |
---|
I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach. But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole. I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though. But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment. Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. If you use someone else's by reference rather than copy, I suggest you might want to do as Cacharoth did, and give a link to a specific version. Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled. I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes. Larry Pieniazek NOTE: You are receiving this message because you are listed in the Wikipedia administrators open to recall category. This is a voluntary category, and you should not be in it if you do not want to be. If you did not list yourself, you may want to review the change records to determine who added you, and ask them why they added you. |
...My guinea pigs and the "A"s through "S"s having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "T"s through "Z"s (and beyond, apparently)! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) Also, you may want to check back to the table periodically, someone later than you in the alphabet may have come up with a nifty new idea. ++Lar: t/c 20:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Libertine tattoo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Libertine tattoo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Esrever (klaT) 04:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Trebor. Thanks for the input and I've addressed them, I believe. Can you take a look at it now? --Efe (talk) 09:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hello there. The user who remained opposing this article is very hard to please. I already asked a couple of copy editors and it seemed it failed to meet his standard or how he gauge a "brilliant prose". I consider your comments very nice and would you mind copy editing the article instead? Like removing redudancies? Thank you very much. --Efe (talk) 09:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

redundancy
Thanks, you're quite right. I've added a note to the solution, and when I overhaul the page, I'll probably integrate the removal of that second word and relocate the exercise out of the "remove one word" section. TONY (talk) 04:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
