AfD article
When you create the AfD article, make sure you put the ===]=== at the top. Otherwise your text merges into the AfD above it on the day's list. I fixed this one. Fan1967 19:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- Ah! Thanks. I wondered why I couldn't get it to format correctly. I can't believe I overlooked that. Thank you very much for correcting it. IrishGuy 19:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- I was just trying to figure out why you were talking about FrankandJames.tk in the AfD for IvyWise. Then I realized they had run together. Fan1967 19:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I noticed that when I first listed it so I tried it again. Obviously, I just needed to title the article but it just plain slipped my mind. Thanks again. IrishGuy 19:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Saint Patrick/Great Britain
I have a thing with editing out the term 'Britain', except when referred to for etymological or terminological reasons. Call it a compulsion, a pain in the neck, or whatever, there's a very good reason for it, and I always make sure that every time I edit away that word, I am doing something constructive, no matter how minor. Whereas 'Great Britain' clearly refers to an island, the meaning of which is unambiguous, 'Britain' is shorthand for the island (Great Britain), the archipelago to which it belongs (British Isles), or the country to which it belongs (United Kingdom). Thus, 'Britain' is either sloppy, misleading, or both sloppy and misleading.Bastin8 23:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:AIAV
Please do not list content disputes at WP:AIAV, as you just did regarding Bambi II — it is only for clear cases of habitual and obvious vandalism. Saravask 17:59, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
It isn't a content dispute. It isn't about differing opinions. It is vandalism. The content this person is putting in the article is completely made up. If you do a google search for the inane content he/she keeps adding you find exactly one hit: from this vandalism in this article. IrishGuy 18:03, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- If that is the case, then you need to properly warn the user by stepping through {{test1}}, {{test2}}, {{test3}}, and finally {{test4}} in that order. Only then may a block be handed out. I've just watchlisted the page and will monitor the anon's contributions for now. Saravask 18:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
