Statements in BLPs that lack reliable sources

Hi Skater.

Regarding this edit that you made, I have some questions.

(1) Is this article a biography of a living person, in your view?

(2) If so, should you consider doing something about the (numerous!) statements that the youtube video was intending to support, not just removing the youtube video link? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 03:31, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm currently working to replace the sources as we speak. Yes Aaron Rodgers is a living person (At least I hope he is, or the Packers are in trouble for next year). You caught me in mid edit, which I am fixing with edits not from youtube. In Hindsight, I probably should have done it in one edit. --SKATER 03:35, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, that makes it much clearer what you intend. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 03:42, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

No problem, Sorry for the confusion. I've undone myself until I get the sources fully replaced.--SKATER 03:46, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Intangibles

The definition of intangibles is something that cannot be touched or in this case measured. Leadership is an example of an intangible. Someone's 40 time is very much tangible.--Chicofiesta13 (talk) 06:42, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Looking in to it, you're right. I should of been using measurables, I was under the impression that the common consensus was for intangibles.--SKATER 07:00, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

DYK for Casey Hayward

On 17 May 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Casey Hayward, which you created or substantially expanded.

Your request for nomination

OK, I've had some time to take a look at you and your track record. If I were to see your name at RfA now, I'd support you, but I'm not 100% sure that the larger community would, so here's my advice. Keep chugging along doing what you're doing for another few months, and stay involved in admin-related areas. If you still like it after that time, then go for it and I'll be happy to nominate you. If you were to go now, I'd still be fine nominating you, but if it doesn't pass then it'll be at least 6 more months before you run another RfA. Let me know what you want to do.

Give me some time to consider it. I appreciate you looking me over Blade! I at least want to wait for the Peer Review and GA review of Aaron Rodgers before I do anything.--SKATER 18:18, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good, look forward to hearing from you. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 18:28, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Having thought about it, once Aaron Rodgers is a GA, I'd like to go ahead and run. If I don't get it then so what? Adminship is no big deal--SKATER 20:18, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

All right, sounds good. I'll start working on a nomination statement; you might get a few opposes over your previous RfAs (there are a very few people who are strange about that), but I don't think that should be a major issue. Your activity level would probably generate the most opposes, but I don't think it'll be a huge deal. But yeah, definitely finish your GA stuff; RfA tends to suck up a lot of time, even if it goes smoothly. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 20:39, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Third times the charm right?--SKATER 20:42, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Errrrr, ummm, I thought you'd wait a bit. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:22, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

I am waiting. Once I get a peer review and GA review over with Rodgers it'll probably be a few more weeks. At least I thought so anyways.--SKATER 23:27, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Recall

Please don't ask RFA candidates if they will be open to recall. It is divisive and unhelpful. Thanks. Hipocrite (talk) 13:05, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
