Hi SarekOfVulcan

Hello,
What or who is BLP? And why, in your opinion, is the source I referenced (http://www.hprweb.com/2012/05/same-sex-attractions-in-youth-and-their-right-to-informed-consent/) not a "reliable" source?] (]) 16:33, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
:BLP is the ] policy. A blog repost of a talk given at a conference is not a reliable source for the actions (or lack thereof) of another person. --] 17:13, 24 May 2012 (UTC)


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
But the reference cited is from a '''paper''' that is well researched with 37 references not from a talk. (The paper in question was also presented as the basis for a talk.) Please look at the cited reference again (http://www.hprweb.com/2012/05/same-sex-attractions-in-youth-and-their-right-to-informed-consent/). Given that Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons serves on an external sub-committee that serves an advisory purpose to the American College of Pediatricians (http://factsaboutyouth.com/about-us/)he would be privy to the information stated. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 17:24, 24 May 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Revert question ==
:::: ''You'' again? Talk about trolling. How flattering to have my own personal wiki-stalker. If Sarek contributed , perhaps he should have signed it.

Now, BW, as much as we all appreciate your ] ], I must ask, are you Sarek's personal spokeswoman? Can't he speak for himself?
:::: How about it Sarek? Any reason why '''you''' don't seem able to provide any justification for the block? I'm on <ins>your</ins> talk page, asking <ins>you</ins> a direct question and I would appreciate a response from <ins>you</ins>. - ''''']''''' 20:31, 16 June 2012 (UTC)


Hi, I was wondering if you go into a little more detail on why you reverted my edits on changing to outgoing rather than incumbent. The reason why I put those in is because a new president and vice president has just been elected so since they are leaving office soon, putting them as a lame duck seems to make the most sense. I'd be willing to hear your arguments on keeping the incumbent on both the president and VP pages. I'm not sure if there was a time that we used the term outgoing for politicians leaving office, but it just doesn't make sense to keep incumbent there. ] (]) 16:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
