Please see WP:NAC; non-admin closures of AfDs are only allowed under a very restricted set of circumstances, and should not be performed for "snow" closes. And in any case, there's no way a "snow" close can be evident after less than an hour of listing time. Wait for an admin to close it. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 23:40, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

On the Loughner page, you just reversed my post. You seems to think I and/or the article and/or the researcher quted was trying to diagnose Loughner without meeting him. I take both the original comment and my summary of it to address simply which aspects of dreaming are seen often in healthy people and which would raise warning signs of mental illness when psychologists hear them. I definately retained the "reported" phrase which both these articles use as some statements are from Loughner's own videos but some are from an interview with a friend. If you look at the refs and see a way to phrase this making clearer your concern that he's not being individually diagnosed, why don't you alter slightly in that direction. Also, I was just getting back on to the page to correct the ref formating (it's clear what's there, but it's not showing up as live link). I don't want to do this if you're about to change yet again, but I'll do it soon or you could if you're better at formatting.

- Its far to speculative. In time a psychologist is going to meet with him then we will get the whole story. It just sounds like it could be read as he has a mental illness. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 03:59, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
- The statement in the article which I'm summarizing is that being unable to distinguish dreams from reality is a warning sign of mental illness. Actually any standard definition of psychosis has to do with failure to distinguish reality from unreality so that hardly sounds controversal. The more important point is that some of the things other articles are citing about keeping a dream journal and being interested in lucid dreaming are characteristic of plenty of healthy people. If you read through the whole Loughner entry, there are many sentences that come much closer to diagnosing him that this paragraph. Again, rephrase this a bit if you like, but if all these quotes about him being interested in lucid dreaming are in there, the "that's normal" needs to be and there's hardly anything controversial about inability to identify reality rasing concerns about mental illness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evolve37830 (talk • contribs) 04:22, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
- If you feel this strongly about it being included ask on the article talk page. The reason I am saying that is another user (AndytheGrump) also reverted your change. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 04:26, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Blogs
Hello, Guerillero. I don't object to this edit, as I can't even read that blog source. But I just wanted to point out that some blogs are acceptable/reliable. It seems the source you removed was the following example: Wikipedia:Verifiability#Newspaper and magazine blogs. Flyer22 (talk) 01:01, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- I have never seen that before. Thanks. Why use a "blog" when there are 10 other non "blog" sources though? --Guerillero | My Talk 01:08, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. And it must simply be editor choice, LOL. Flyer22 (talk) 01:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Or laziness -- going with the first source they can get their hands on. Sometimes, it's just because that's the only place the journalist commented. Flyer22 (talk) 01:14, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Straight Edge
Hey man. You're really going to need a reference for the statement "recent studies suggest that only a small minority of the people who refer to themselves as straight edge are violent." I really like what you've done with the page but that second intro paragraph either needs references or removal. Freikorp (talk) 08:29, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
- I will do it. It comes from both Wood(2006) and Wood(2003). Thank you. I want the article to end up being a GA or FA. Cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 14:19, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
- No worries, it's looking good now. :) Freikorp (talk) 06:12, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
Online Ambassadors
I saw the quality of your contributions at DYK and clicked on over to your user page and was pretty impressed. Would you be interested in helping with the WP:Online_Ambassadors program? It's really a great opportunity to help university students become Wikipedia contributers. I hope you apply to become an ambassador, Sadads (talk) 00:47, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- I applied. I wouldn't mind helping out students, though they may find it weird coming to a person who is younger then them for help. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 04:29, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- Your applying for college, so you are only a year or two younger than some of them, and besides you look like a Wikipedian through and through, so to them you are just another expert from the community. We also have a Online Ambassador in training program that we are pioneering this semester that may be more appropriate if you feel uncomfortable being the primary mentor for someone, Sadads (talk) 05:18, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I will look into it. cheers--Guerillero | My Talk 05:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, we are in the process of reviewing it right now. Should hear within the week (usually it takes 3-4 days to turn it around), Sadads (talk) 16:02, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Montauk Monster
I was wondering if you might remove the same material you removed from Montauk Monster from the article Plum Island Animal Disease Center, I was battling the same IP and have run up against rules and regulations on that article. I tagged them with citation needed earlier, but I had tried to remove them a few times - the IP kept adding it back. Thanks. IvoShandor (talk) 00:05, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

He Is We
I moved it because a lowercase 'i' on 'Is' is not correct formatting for names. Verbs are capitalized regardless of length. I can't remember where to find the style guide but that should be in there. Evan Reyes (talk) 20:06, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
