RE: Ashley Cheadle

Heh, I was only doing my job. As for the tag - an error on my part, I must have forgotten - it's gone now. Thanks for contributing, hopefully that article will continue to improve! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 07:59, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification

Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Israeli apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 18:05, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea why, but Twinkle always makes the afd template show up red linked. Purging the cache fixes it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 18:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

My RfA

Townlake, thank you for your contribution to the discussion at my recent RfA. In particular I wanted to thank you for remarking on my answer to Q10 very soon after I had posted it; I appreciated that feedback so much. If ever you have any concerns about my actions, adminly or otherwise, don't hesitate to let me know. Best wishes, Paul Erik 23:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Tipping Point

I was hoping you could reassess the changes to the article, to see whether the balance is more appropriate.

Thanks,

Your awfully knee jerk desire to delete the "Batman's career timeline" article challenged

Batman is one of the most iconic, recognizable characters in all of comics. He has been around since 1939 and has had numerous adaptions made about him (via animation, live-action television and film, and video games). It would do the character more good (in terms of serving as a relatively important history lesson) than you could imagine to showcase a "career timeline" through all of the important eras/ages in the comics. Besides, if you're going to delete this article about Batman's career timeline and more importantly, his evolution as a superhero/crime fighter, then you might as well do the same about the article entitled "History of Superman".

• Editor posted the exact same paragraph in the AfD for public discussion, so I won't respond in Talk. Townlake (talk) 04:49, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

FYI, my own response to this is here.  Frank  |  talk  15:04, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Your comment on my RfA about the layout on my userpage

Hi there, I had replied to your comment on my RfA but now I reordered them on my userpage, using a scrolling div-container. I have only IE6 on my PC (which comes with XP) but if you have other browsers (like IE7), could you take a look and see if you spot any problems with that new layout? I'd value your input in that matter. Regards SoWhy 17:56, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for responding to my RfA comment so quickly. I'm currently on my IE7 comp, saw no issues with the new userbox-box layout; will try from my IE6 comp tonight and make sure it works there too. (I felt a little silly dinging you for that, but appearances do matter... if I switch, which I may well do now, it'll likely be to support. I'm glad the discussion seems to be going well for you, and I applaud your eagerness to address the concerns people have raised.) Townlake (talk) 21:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
