Hello. See my talk page for information about me.

Improper move

Please do not make copy/paste moves as you did with Seattle SuperSonics possible relocation to Oklahoma City. Because Misplaced Pages uses the licenses under GFDL, it is important that the edit history be maintained with the article. If you feel that the article should be moved to a different location, there are a number of different ways that you can do so properly. Please see WP:MOVE for information on the proper way of moving an article. --Bobblehead 23:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Your move request has been corrected as you requested on my talk page. --Bobblehead 23:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Joe Paterno

Mr. Vanderbilt, from another user who uses his real name, Gerry's the first, do you think that Paterno's stay in the hosptial is worthy of being in the article at this point? According to the article on pennlive.com he wasn't admitted, just tested. I will leave it in for now, but I have my doubts. Dincher (talk) 19:25, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Dincher is the last name. Yahoo sports must have jumped the gun. Dincher (talk) 19:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Fraud Protection Unit

Just to let you know - efforts like this one have been deleted in the past, and this particular version is likely to follow that same route. You are welcome to coordinate activities between yourself and interested editors in your userspace, for the most part - but hierarchical bureaucracy (chief of unit, etc.) and authoritative titles is likely to put off most Wikipedians and lead even more quickly to a WP:MFD for the page you have created. There are noticeboards in existence already for purposes similar to yours; for reliable sources there is WP:RS/N, for biographies of living people there is WP:BLP/N, and there are boards for fringe theories etc. Actual hoaxes are deletable under the criteria for speedy deletion, as well.

Thank you for your advice. I have removed the hierarchy. BVande (talk) 21:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
