== What is your problem deleting "Chicago Film Producers Alliance" == |

We were still discussing this page. What is your problem deleting it?--[[User:ATurnerIII|ATurnerIII]] ([[User talk:ATurnerIII|talk]]) 17:53, 5 January 2009 (UTC) |

:I don't care for a subjective and inconsistent process. And the fact that you and others have group think and banded together to delete the article is more evidence of the site's weakness. Sure, I can have more 3rd party article written about CFPA and will. In fact, they are being writting now. But, it's too late. This has become a legal issue. I'm in contact with my attornies about antitrusut violations and soon will contact the site's owner. You can't accept other similar groups for different reasons and selectively reject CFPA. It's illegal. And rest assured, when the summons are issued, your name will be on one.--[[User:ATurnerIII|ATurnerIII]] ([[User talk:ATurnerIII#top|talk]]) 00:26, 6 January 2009 (UTC) |

Check out one of the versions of [[User talk:68.192.223.254]] that has the numerous vandalism warnings. The user blatantly vandalized two articles and then decided to be much more subtle in his/her vandalism by changing numbers in articles. The vandalism warnings came after the editor was asked to stop doing that because it doesn't conform to [[WP:MOSNUM]]. Despite that, the edits continued. At that point, vandalism warnings appeared to be the only course of action. Hope that helps. -- [[User:Gmatsuda|Gmatsuda]] ([[User talk:Gmatsuda|talk]]) 16:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC) |

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this message. I know that you have blocked this user once before, and was wondering if you could do something again. I do not necessarily mean blocking, but leaving a message of some sort as the user continues to delete the "track listing" from the [[Before I Self Destruct]] page. I have obviously tried to talk/warn this user numerous times, as have others, but this continues. If you can help, thank you.

Thanks for your answer. Ok, than that means that it is not vandalism, only an edit war. Sorry. The other editor seems to revert me without dicussing anything. I have to note that have been encouraged many times to add galleries to articles, when there was a lot of nice pictures which were not used in the article on Commons. That because many readers do not know how to find them. A dog article, I belive should show good pictures about the dog breed, I think this is one of the main reasons why people want to read dog articles. I think that pictures are an important part of the articles, wich, if you remove the pictures, will consist of a large amount of text without any visual documentation. |

== Not justified == |
|||
I am not an administrator, however, I feel that you as an administrator has abused your authority for the blocking of Klasyays. One administrator declined the unblock request for the reason of a 'direct threat of harm'. When you read the Wikipedia polices to blocking it does not cover the type of comment made by Klasyays as the comment was not a direct threat of harm. Because the comment could have meant anything with no stating threat embedded within it, then multiple emotions could have arisen from the recipient, in this case it would seem the comment is threatening, but blocking someone when there is doubt of there true intentions is unjust to Wikipedia policies and an abuse of your administration. I hereby strongly request the immediate unblocking of this user. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Shawtydoit|Shawtydoit]] ([[User talk:Shawtydoit|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Shawtydoit|contribs]]) 05:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Lame == |
|||
Yeah, lame for sure. I'll be five years here in two days time. I guess the responsibility was on me and I should've just ignored it all as I knew before hand what that guy was like, though I didn't know he still bore a grudge. Feel free to add it to the [[WP:LAME]] page as my well-deserved trout slapping.

== Huh? == |
|||
Precisely what did you mean by [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADeacon_of_Pndapetzim&diff=269820911&oldid=269709402 this]? You know that his conduct was unbecoming of an admin, yet, you'd have "most likely" cast a stone in the other direction? It would help explain why groups of editors become anti-admin after a while. One rotten fruit can make all of them look rotten; but it's a real shame for the project when that happens. The only reason he wasn't strongly admonished for his conduct was because every admin who wanted to respond knew that it'd have fallen on blind eyes - and I know that for a fact because I was told so by 3 respectable admins who were trying to make sure I stayed calm. Other than mischaracterising my posts, he's been stirring this up from the beginning, and tried very hard at the end, despite Kurykh's message to stop. |
|||
First he's going to say something needs to be done, then he's going to make up a grudge, and next he's going to make up something else. Why bother noting that his comments are uncalled for? Howwwww pointlesssss...instead, seeing it's most likely, might as well cast a stone in the other direction, rightttt? Thanksssss...thankssss soooo sooooo muchhhh...words cannot express my appreciation for thisssss, Kralizec!

:Sorry I was not more clear. I -and probably everyone else- recognize that his extended block was way over the top. However it was fixed in short order and the issue resolved. Everyone makes mistakes, and I see little point in riding people mercilessly when they screw up. However your insistence on "having the last word" with the aggressively worded resolved tag was also way over the top ... which is probably why three different people tried to re-write it to be more neutral. |
|||
:However since you have not reverted the latest person to re-write the tag using neutral language, I will assume that you have recognized your mistake and decided to stop edit warring over the issue. As I said earlier, I do not believe in riding people over their mistakes, which is why I am not going to cast any stones. |
|||
:Everyone wins when people learn from their mistakes, so personally, I am thrilled that you and Deacon both gained from this otherwise unpleasant situation. Again I apologize for any misunderstandings caused by my lack of specifics.

|||
::I agree, everyone makes mistakes; but that's a mitigating factor rather than a justification. And of course, I'm not blameless; ideally, if I was a user of another status, I wouldn't have cared enough to insist so. I'd have gotten over this by now, but given that [http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:Dayewalker/Ncm this], in my opinion, expresses an intention of pursuing dispute resolution, this is still an issue. |
|||
::If for a moment, there was a glimpse that he understood what the mistake was, I would've overlooked him refactoring my comment and we wouldn't even have gotten this far. He showed all appearances against understanding the problem and was unreceptive to the feedback he got from no less than 5 users at the discussion. He then tried to hide the problem in the concluding tag by talking about motives that don't exist (in editsummary, discussion, and subsequent discussions - including above!) Other than being provocative, what does that intend on achieving? In other words, he did not act in a way that you'd expect an admin to, even after the mistake. |
|||
::Dayewalker wound up climbing on a high horse and reverted on the grounds that Deacon is an admin. That was plainly unhelpful in the absence of discussing it with me or notifying me, in the presence of 5 users having a problem with Deacon's action, and given that the tag was written by the most involved user of all: Deacon. Until Alex's intervention, Deacon continued revert-warring. |
|||
::I would've walked past your message as I considered it closed. But as Dayewalker would've no doubt added your message into the diffs collection and construed it to mean that I'm the sole problem here, I felt a need to speak. I was annoyed that you suggested casting a stone in my direction without looking at the mitigating factors from my perspective. You've talked about 3 users reverting; I'm talking about 5 users opinions on his action, and several other users who strongly feel on his general approach to adminning - merely insisting on writing out this opinion does not make it a personal attack, nor does it warrant having the stone flung in my direction. I made one mistake in reverting; but he didn't merely just make mistakes in his block, and his reverting - he did more than that. Hope you understand what I'm getting at.

:::If you are concerned about a DR or RfC from Dayewalker, then [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAlex_Bakharev&diff=270000843&oldid=269844810 this] may help put it into perspective. Regarding your "3 users reverting vs. 5 users' opinions" concern ... having an admin decision reversed via AN/I consensus rarely causes more than a trout-slapping for the admin who screwed up (again, most of us recognize that everyone makes mistakes). However edit warring is against policy and often results in people getting blocked. As an un-involved admin, I see both issues as being a concern, however only one might necessitate administrative action on the part of me or other admins. --[[User:Kralizec!|Kralizec!]] ([[User talk:Kralizec!|talk]]) 15:37, 11 February 2009 (UTC) ''(original reply [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ANcmvocalist&diff=270014568&oldid=270008375] copied from [[User talk:Ncmvocalist]])'' |

::::I don't see how the diff you provided puts it into perspective - please explain. |
|||
::::If there was to be prevention, it wouldn't be equitable to make me the only one. Just because 1 other editor mirrored his revert or because he made less reverts or just because he has tools is no justification. (Note: Alex acted to try to resolve the dispute on the actual page, rather than use the same revert) Again, the user you would not throw a stone at was playing games. If you're experienced with dealing tendentious/problem/civil-pov pushing editors, you will not find it difficult to see the edit-war mentality in [[User:Deacon_of_Pndapetzim/How_to_win_a_revert_war|this]]: eg ''will ameliorate the bad appearance of "edit warring" in any random admin's eyes'' should make your alarm bells ring, along with the rest. Would you be able to justify inequitable blocks in the interests of this project? No. Enforcing the relevant policy in such a manner was not how it was envisaged by the community, yet, if you were throwing stones, you say you'd promote his mentality in the name of a letter rather than what was intended in spirit. ArbCom wanted admins to enforce policy that is both in letter and spirit, rather than just to the letter. This comment may not be worded very well, but I think you'll understand the point it makes.

(OD)Luckily, I have Kralizec's talkpage watchlisted, or I would never have known I was being discussed here. Ncm, I began making out that page when it became apparent you were not going to stop your edit war to make your opinion known in the resolved tag. As I said, I consider the entire discussion [[WP:LAME|lame]] and reverted you once, then stopped. My edit summary clearly said "There's no need to edit war commentary into the resolved tag, [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=269498313]" and as such, I wasn't going to. You seemed dead-set on changing the tag to reflect your opinion on the situation, both adding the "punitive" tag and replacing it five more times. You were edit warring, and I filed the diffs away in case you wouldn't listen to reason. When you were reverted by the third different editor, you stopped, and so I did not file a report of any sort. Your comments to me and to other editors (and indeed, above) didn't seem to show that you understood what had happened and that you were edit warring, so I just finished the page and saved it. |
|||
I have no desire to file a report on you. I'd much rather not have contact with you again, to be honest. At the same time, if this situation comes up again (as you seem to keep returning to it), I'd like to have the diffs available to show any admin my conduct. |
|||
Since this same discussion appears at Ncm's page, I'll also repeat these comments over there. Kralizec!, apologes for taking up your time with this. I appreciate your patience. [[User:Dayewalker|Dayewalker]] ([[User talk:Dayewalker|talk]]) 03:24, 12 February 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:Despite the fact that I'd quite clearly said that this was over, and did not take any further action, you still chose to compile that page; this was the sole cause for me initiating this discussion both here, and Alex's talk page, despite considering this informally resolved. In these circumstances, I see no good cause to have created this page so late in the dispute - but what's done is done. Thing is, if you intend on keeping that page like similar pages you've created earlier (including as far back as December last year), then I will make a move to have them deleted, as some or all or not compliant with userspace requirements. I hope it will not become necessary for me to do so. In this case particularly, those diffs, as well as the accompanying commentary, aren't designed to show your conduct in this matter as you assert at the end of your comment. My views on your involvement and approach to this are already well known so I need not repeat them. The only part of your comment that is worth explicit endorsement at this point is about rather not having contact with you again - that's mutual.

*The above does not constitute any right for this block. I was open for discussion and did not see any willing for discussion of those who sent 'warnings'. These 'warnings' are mere personal attacks and when calling upon rules you have to weight it against reality and not just exercise your ability to block me. About 'consensus' - many changes done there are done by other without any consensus and against basic editorial ethics. Very bad thing that your accusation like "Blindly reverting other editors rather than discussing" is applicable to the accusers - not to me. ''What you are doing here -is just throwing blind accusations against me in order to justify your block.'' Just see my talk page - I am again pestered by people who are not willing to discuss anything - rather to blindly disqualify me.

== Vandalism by user:sikh-history == |
|||
Pleasde can you kindly do something about the persistent vandalism on my and other people talkpages. |
|||
user:sikh-history continues to vandalise the talk pages of user:jsu and my own talk page on several occasions and perhaps many more with whom he disagrees with. He suggests I am canvassing! When I am simply '''thanking''' user:jsu for his input to which sikh-hisstory does not seem to like or agree. |
|||
'''I am simply responding''' Now how can this be canvassing, if I am not making an '''initial''' statement, remark or request? He also suggests we are the same user? |
|||

An IP seeks to have the references tag removed even though more editors than him think it belongs there. Also note this IP has been recently blocked for edit-warring. Please look over this again.

Hey, I was responding to an unblock request at [[User talk:RavShimon]]. You blocked him as a sockpuppet of [[User:Klaksonn]] however I don't see any common edits between RavShimon and Klakson in terms of direct textual similarities. Certainly, you have more information that I am not privy to that led you to make your block, but since I do not have access to this information, I cannot respond intelligently to his unblock request. Could you please make a posting on RavShimon's talk page with some diffs to show the obvious [[WP:DUCK|duckworthy]] connection between him and Klaksonn?

Yes, and I have received the warning for that (as a new user I did not know it was not allowed for my own talk page). You recently performed the same action on the Frank Turner talk page, deleting my comments on the validity of claims regarding Frank Turner's involvement in the Million Dead break-up. Anyway, this is immature, and it is too late, and doesn't concern Kralizec. What matters is that the Frank Turner page has been reverted to its un-vandalized state.[[User:David2206|David2206]] ([[User talk:David2206|talk]]) 00:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC) |

== [[West Memphis 3]] / Detroitwheel == |

Hey, you previously blocked {{user|Detroitwheel}} for his edits on [[West Memphis 3]]. Looks like he's continuing in the same path, removing sourced (though probably not as sourced as it should be) content and adding what at the very least looks like unencyclopedic content ([http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=West_Memphis_3&diff=275655587&oldid=275598221 diff]). I get the impression he's POV-pushing (edits like changing "''In 2007, DNA collected from the crime scene was tested. None was found to match DNA from Echols, Baldwin, Misskelley nor John Mark Byers''" to the unsourced "''In 2005, DNA collected from the crime scene was tested an foreign alleles found on the bindings on Steve Branch, and a penile swab from Micheal Moore were consistent with DNA samples from Echols and Misskelley''", and completly removing the section on "Mr. Bojangles"), but I'm not completly sure what his goals are. The article really needs some work, but to be honest I'm not really interested in it besides keeping it "clean" and the revision before Detroitwheel's most recent edits seems OK after I removed some unsourced content. Sorry to bother you about this, but I feel someone should do something about Detroitwheel.

This morning, having seen the protection on this page has been removed, I made an edit removing some irrelevant material. Not two hours later someone added the 10/10/100 date again, even with the interdiction by Finell. If I am reading this page right, you placed the vandalism protection on the page earlier.

== Vandalism in Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels == |
|||
Hello, Krazilec! I too have noticed the vandalism in the call out order of rock of love 3. I did my best to help bring it back to the way it was. One thing of note is that I felt it was important to turn Ashley's elimination light blue in episode 9 (Exes and Ohs) as hers was not a standard elimination. If you watch the episode, you will notice that Bret was all ready to give Ashley the pass but asked the key question that revealed how she truly felt about her ex boyfriend in Las Vegas. Because of her hesitation to answer we all knew she wasn't ready to move on and be there for Bret and it was only then Bret decided to end her tour there. Her own inability to answer and move on from her ex qualifies as a voluntary withdrawal, not a standard elimination.

That's ok. I felt it was important to point this out because the way this episode ended for Ashley is strikingly similar to Episode 6 of For The Love Of Ray J entitled "Bad Girls, Bad Girls Whatcha Gonna Do?" in which the wine glass was available to Cashmere at the end, but her own hesitation to take it because she had second thoughts about the pressure around the other girls (and Ray J was not about to pick it up and offer it to her but there it was) earned Cashmere's elimination a dark purple voluntary withdrawal color on the For The Love of Ray J page.

The removal of the {{tl|pp-vandalism}} template by {{user|Debresser}} is perfectly fine as the article's protection expired on the 15th. As the article's edit history shows[http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Kazakhstan&diff=275874533&oldid=275856918], my semi-protection of the article was just for seven days. While the article has been edited several times since this protection ended, I only count three reverts (including my own just now) in the past three days, which is not sufficiently high enough to justify protection on a high profile article like this one. Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues.

Why am I being told to "wait" on a AIV post? The vandalism took place within the hour, so it isn't stale. The user has been given 5 warnings in the past hour as well.

''Toddst1'' pretty much summed it all up for me: as per [[WP:BLOCK]], the purpose of blocking is prevention, not punishment. In light of the [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ANeutralhomer&diff=279018087&oldid=278858454 IP's commitment to stop], any block I levied now would be punishment. However if this anonymous editor breaks his or her word and continues removing content, then a block would be entirely appropriate as to prevent further disruption of the project. — [[User:Kralizec!|Kralizec!]] ([[User talk:Kralizec!|talk]]) 12:11, 23 March 2009 (UTC) |

After an admin reverted the same thing that I reverted, he told me "since removing referenced content is considered vandalism then you are permitted to revert them without penalty." [[http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:LessHeard_vanU]] Why are you warning me, then?

|||
:Aegis or not, this guy obviously has some sort of self-interest in this article. It is blatant and obvious. LessHeard vanU recognized this. I wish you would also. This editor has used socks to try and get around the 3rr rule and an admin edit. He's written a glowing fluff piece about someone who got caught with their hands in the cookie jar in a very public way. Look at some of the editors other articles. They all take on a similar tone and fairly reek of being the work of a public relations intern. They are mostly about little known business executives and former politicians. (btw, the New York Times Caucus blog has been recognized as a reputable source before). But if a situation which is so obvious on its face is re-cast by you as something about editing technicalities (and your an admin for crying out loud), directly contradicting another admin, I don't really have much hope for this contribution.

== Regarding Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines == |

I just noticed you protected [[Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines]]. I also see that the protection was requested by [[User:VitasV]]. |
|||
I monitor this page, and do not feel as thought he edits Vitas is complaining about were vandalism. As near as I can tell they were actually anonymous edits by a registered user who appears to have simply not logged in. On the article's talk page, you'll see a comment from [[Special:Contributions/Wesp5|Wesp5]] who asks that people stop changing his edits. I'm pretty sure the IP edits in question were his. |
|||
The edits in question looked to me like valid content, rearranging a section of the article discussing patches to the game. |
|||
Further, Vitas said in his PP request that an IP editor had removed portions of the talk page. I don't see any such edits in the history of the page in question. -[[User:FeralDruid|FeralDruid]] ([[User talk:FeralDruid|talk]]) 06:46, 26 March 2009 (UTC) |

==Oklahoma City bombing== |
|||
Hello, I have spent the last few days cleaning up the citations, adding more sources, removing multiple unreliable sources, and moving information around for the article. I have definitely learned a lot since first working on this article to get it to GA. I would like to get this to FA in time for the 15th anniversary to be featured on the main page. First, I want to commence an A-class review with WikiProject:Oklahoma, and since you are a member, I was wondering if you knew of how A-class reviews are handled by the project. I didn't see a nomination page (such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/Review#A-Class_review|WP:FILMS A-class page]]). Would you be able to copyedit the article and help me set up an A-class review with the members of the project? I want to get rid of errors/inconsistencies/formatting issues before heading on to FA. Thanks for helping to maintain the article, and hopefully it can be improved further. Happy editing! --[[User:Nehrams2020|Nehrams2020]] ([[User talk:Nehrams2020|talk]]) 07:07, 27 March 2009 (UTC) |

:I totally understand. I'm currently job searching right now, and I think once I'm employed I'll be running out of time here on the many projects I have. Would you still be able to give it a look-over? I never catch my own mistakes, and it would benefit from another set of eyes ensuring everything makes sense. I guess I'll just open up an A-class review on the talk page and then leave a message at the project's main talk page. I'm also not an expert on FA, only having completed one (as well as one FL with one in FLC right now). I had wanted this article to be my first FA, but I didn't really know how the process works and there was continual reverting/editing related to the conspiracy theories section. Fortunately I found some reliable sources for that section finally, and if the article is deemed too long, perhaps that can finally be split off. So I'll take this one step at a time, and hopefully I can reach the goal of getting it featured.

Quite clearly, the page should be unlocked as soon as possible for more comments and new editors should be allowed to edit. I find semi-locks strangely and biasedly enforced on this page. It would have been quite easy to block vandals using an approach that I find Wiki administrators using on other pages where: |
|||
1. Administrators could block IP addresses of vandals |
|||
2. In case vandals use multiple IPs, administrators could use the facility to block IP ranges, which I believe they have. |
|||
3. Block user ids of vandals and proxy ids too. |
|||
Though I do appreciate that there has been a temporary semi-protect placed some time back, I believe this is a good time to remove it as (and I quote from Wiki policy), "Page protection should not be used solely to prevent editing by anonymous and newly registered users. In particular, it should not be used to settle content disputes." And I hope that this is not the case currently going on with this page as I find it strange that editors who have registered beyond three months are still not allowed to edit. I request administrators to kindly remove the edit lock. |

::While the edits of three different users have been reverted in the past day, that is not enough activity to warrant any more than a 24 hour protection ''at most''.

I am E. Joyce Moore the owner of the page you are planning to remove. I am a member of this organization and have the responsibility of creating a page in your website. As you can see the document has some pieces that are similar but the document clearly is not the same as the original. I have added significant third party resources to address your concerns. Please advise.

:Hello Joyce. Thank you for the message you left on my talk page [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKralizec%21&diff=282576154&oldid=282024424]. In regards to your statement there, the actual "owner" of the page in question would be the [[Wikimedia Foundation]], as they own the hardware and software that Wikipedia is hosted on. As a guest on their web site, we are all obligated to follow their rules of conduct here. Specifically, the CFPA article does not assert its [[WP:NOT|notability]] via [[WP:RS|reliable, third-party, published sources]], as in accordance with [[WP:GROUP|requirements for organizations and companies]]. The existing article is essentially the same as the previously deleted [[CFPA chicago]] article, which was itself a repost of the original article that was deleted as per [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chicago Film Producers Alliance]]. I hope you have a more enjoyable Wikipedia experience than your predecessor Andrew (who had issues trying to follow our rules). Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or issues.

I would appreciate your assistance. I am E. Joyce Moore, a writer and a member of the Chicago Film Producers Alliance.

The user is new and does not appear to understand procedures.

I really do not think the user understand how to create or use a sandbox, and I'd hate the article to get a "blck mark" becuase it was brought back too soon and in the wrong way.

==HMS Archer (D78)== |
|||
Hi, I nominated this article for GA and it has been reviewed. Unfortunately it didn't pass. One of the issues raised at [[Talk:HMS_Archer_(D78)/GA1|the GA review]] is the fact that there is no source quoted for [[:File:HMS Archer (D78).jpg]] which you uploaded. Would you be kind enough to provide a source for the image? [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 06:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:Re the picture, if it is the work of the British Government before a certain time (1953?), then it is PD. Otherwise, if you can't be sure tag it as a copyrighted picture and add a fair use rationale. The issue will be dealt with then. [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 15:13, 12 April 2009 (UTC) |
|||
I should add a disclaimer before I give any advice since I am most definitely not an image expert. I can tell you that if you cannot find the source for the image, even a Fair Use Rationale will not be sufficient. While I definitely recognize the encyclopedic value, I don't think there is a loophole in the IUP to permit them. If you can find the source, then everything is solved, but if not, you are correct that it appears that the only course of action will be the use of the delete button. Perhaps this would be best raised at [[WP:MCQ]] where the experts hang out. Sorry I can't be of more help, -'''[[User:MBK004|MBK]]'''<sub>[[User talk:MBK004|004]]</sub> 22:13, 12 April 2009 (UTC) |

Thanks for your note on this issue. I am aware of that policy, but reverted the deletion of the warnings because this user seems to be a vandalism-only account and he is taking steps to cover that. Based on his edit summaries I think it likely that he is not new to WP, just that he has been blocked or banned before and this is a new sock account. - [[User:Ahunt|Ahunt]] ([[User talk:Ahunt|talk]]) 12:06, 13 April 2009 (UTC) |

Thanks. I was at home and flipping through the family scrapbooks and found those images and figured it would be interesting to include in the article. My father did a side job to pick up a few bucks and help a family friend, and ended up helping with the harvest. He always has his camera with him, so it's great to get something like this. By the way, hopefully the OCB article does well today, since it's its busiest reading day of the year. Last year it had 16,500 people reading it on the anniversary, compared to ~2,000-3,000 every other day in the year.

Hi Krelizec! I was just reading your user page and have a question for you. It is purely curiosity and has nothing to do with the encyclopedia; if you prefer not to answer, that's fine. I notice that you say you semi-regularly attend Presbyterian church services even though you consider yourself an agnostic secular humanist. I can imagine several reasons why you might do that, but I'm wondering what your reasons are. As I said, this is just my being curious, and if you'd rather not answer, I won't be offended.
