Done. I was kinda wary about blocking him myself, but blanking a whole article made it hard for me to assume good faith. ]] 22:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC) | Done.

You should be aware that this is someone's real name and placing notices on his user and talk pages that he is blocked as a sockpuppeteer is perhaps going to be considered distressing to him. Are you sure you are doing the right thing here? Maybe you should reconsider. —] (''']''') 23:22, 6 March 2008 (UTC) |

In recognition & thanks for your efforts in helping us work our way towards consensus towards making Battle of Washita River a good WP:NPOV (instead of WP:SOAP) article. Still a lotta work to do, but now we can do it, in no small part because of your help. Yksin 20:03, 10 August 2007 (UTC) |

Sock
User:Mood Swing Cosby seems to share similar patterns with both User:Billcosbyislonely and User:BC-D2, so it looks like we have a repeat offender. They have similar edit histories (they all vandalized Gung-Ho (G.I. Joe)) and their usernames are all indicitave of Bill Cosby for some reason. ;) BOZ (talk) 18:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
2001...
Yes, I thought of that, but put it in simply to balance the assertion (based I think only on Kubrick and Clarke's statements?) that it is meaningless, by paraphrasing Clarke's second ("I stand by...") statement, which I hope I captured accurately. I confess I remain a bit perplexed over these levels of OR -- when one may quote Clarke in support of a point one believes Clarke is making, versus going back to another source quoting Clarke to state that Clarke meant such and so, ad infinitum:
"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum...."
Sigh. I think I do understand that one must not cite source A and source B to make claim C, but can only paraphrase source A's statement of claim A. The latter is how I hope to squeak by, as I do not have any more explicit reference at hand. Anyhow, if it is not defensible, I'm sure it will get deleted. But thanks for the cautionary warning! Best, Bill Wwheaton (talk) 20:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Revised & shortened. Intended to paraphrase; any better? B Wwheaton (talk) 15:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Fact Tag Bombing?
I'm not adding fact tags to promote any point of view and it seems you have no good reason to accuse me of doing so. I'm simply trying to add to the quality of wikipedia. As you may notice some of them that I put up are now cited. The fact tag's work, at least to some degree. They even convinced you to cite something on Thailand's king. Please think a little more carefully before accusing someone of something with no grounds to do so. Remember, assume good faith is a policy.--UhOhFeeling (talk) 01:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- You're overdoing it by adding too many fact tags. If you think something needs to be cited, then why don't you find references instead of adding multitudes of fact tags. If you keep doing as you have been doing, you will be blocked. Please assume good faith, no one "convinced" me of anything, I do this type of work all the time, dabs and finding references.

Amber Lynn image
I have removed the image of Amber Lynn you uploaded as it's licensed as fair-use, and clause 12 of the unacceptable uses in WP:FU clearly states: "Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image." Tabercil (talk) 05:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. The image was provided by Amber Lynn. I have forwarded the email to the the Wikimedia Communications committee and tagged the image per Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. If the tags aren't correct, please let me know. Dreadstar † 05:16, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
One for your watchlist
You may want to just watchlist Navicular disease. Or ask Rlevse to watchlist it. Or, more precisely, the talk page. I want to stay out of that one if at all possible; stuck my toe in and decided to step back out. FYI, User:Getwood is a new editor and one who has, so far, done some nice quality editing and seems to know anatomy and physiology of horses pretty well. Has a lot of potential if not run off by POV edit wars. Montanabw 08:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Spencer Rice
Hi, I saw you deleted this title twice for a copyright violation; it's now protected, but it's unclear to me why it's being protected (Rice is the co-host of Kenny vs. Spenny). Is there further need to keep the title protected? Chubbles (talk) 18:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- I don't actually watch the show, but I'll put up a sourced stub on him that will at least get the ball rolling. Chubbles (talk) 19:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. Chubbles (talk) 19:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Leo J Meyer Debate
This is what I posted to ensure ther was no misunderstanding. Good people, I am the author of the article and I hope this is not improper of me to submit a comment to your discussion, but I must clarify. Of the many written documents listed above attributed to Col Leo J Meyer, the only item that is from the subject of this article is "The Only Thing Permanent In The Military... Is Change. Col. Leo J. Meyer, Official Homepage, 95th division, U.S. Army". Please do not be confused. The other LJ Meyer is quite notable in his own right.
