Thanks by the way for all your edits - I had previously did a compare across a number of edits and didn't realize how many great edits you made until I started doing research and looked at the changes line by line. You made a lot of great edits to make the article sharper, clearer, correct and wikified! Thanks!

One question for you: I've been trying to find a source that reports that the parents of the 10 month old girl have been located - and I cannot find one. Everything I find says that the search for the parents was in vain. There was one source, though, that said someone had stepped in to care for the child (I think a hospital worker). Do you have a source that reported that the parents have been located? (I'll watch this page).

*I have not had much interaction with this editor, but did just have highly positive interaction with him where he performed good work for the project (see my note above the block).

I recently reviewed an unblock of an editor where the community/unblocker considered other contributions. If he can be released from the corner for time served, I think that may be appropriate.

For what it's worth, the individual in question has agreed not to drag third parties like Misplaced Pages into stupid "jokes", so I don't believe there's any further danger of vandalism from my IP.

Hi, I have a question regarding which I find strange: you change a referenced statement, remove the reference, and then add a citation-needed template. Why? ] (]) 07:35, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Welcome back. Two comments -- a) one doesn't need square brackets around ellipses within a quote (they add nothing, and should not be there); and b) no need for a "footnote needed" tag in a lede, where the footnote appears in the text below that the lede summarizes. Good to have you back.--] (]) 17:02, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
:Thanks; I have to thank you for corroborating my editing history. Point noted on the ellipses. I really need to read through the whole MOS at some point since I'm pretty pedantic about it myself... :) And I completely missed that the statement I {{tl|cn}}ed was duplicated and referenced in the body. Oops. (And did the same thing on another article just shortly before, but caught that one! Excessively lazy editing on my part.) &ndash;&nbsp;]&nbsp;(]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;]) 17:14, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

:It just needed someone listed at all rather than implying everyone; I ended up using "by some", since I didn't feel like trying to summarize the reasons, although that would be better if you feel like editing it further. (E.g, "criticized by some as an overreaction because X, Y, and Z.") You already had the specific refs summarized out (in fact, I re-summarized one before noticing it was already summarized!), other than the FBI interview from RT which wasn't actually relevant. &ndash;&nbsp;]&nbsp;(]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;]) 22:08, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
