Well put the references yourself in then

Username block note

Hi. I came upon a misplace {{hangon}} tag on User talk:Xunantunich and saw that it had been blocked, presumably as promotional. I know that the user seems to be connected to some entity called the Xunantunich Inn, but I did want to point out that Xunantunich is actually the site of some lovely Mayan ruins. I'm not sure that the name is inherently promotional, given that. :) It seems rather a shame to block the name indefinitely from use by legitimate fans of Mayan culture. If it's appropriate to prevent this user from editing under the name because of the similarity to his commercial interest, perhaps it could be set to expire at some point so that the account could be assumed with more innocent purposes? :) Just a thought. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 00:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Moonriddengirl. Unfortunately, now that the name has been used to edit and blocked, no-one else will be able to assume it in the future. Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations *usually* only allows users to adopt names that have been registered and never used. The fact that the account has been blocked (even if I were to lift it now) would also likely be another reason for the bureaucrat handling the decision to refuse the usurpation. Sorry about that. Try if you like, though (you never can tell)... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 16:12, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I will bow to your experience. :) I'm much more active in the deletion arena than the blocking arena. I suppose future Wikipedians with a penchant for Mayan ruins will have to find another site. :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Xunantunich Ruins, User:Xunantunich Fanboi or similar? ;) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 16:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

LOL! Looks like Chichen Itza is still available, too. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Pagemove hell

Wasn't there an article at The Best Damn tour (maybe something similar) about the tour, before all the pagemove crap? --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I was looking for the damn thing (heh!) myself - but as far as I can tell, it was merged and redirected to The Best Damn Thing per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Best Damn Tour. The Best Damn Tour is currently a redirect, with all the relevant history - so I don't think that anything of value has been lost in the cleanup. Have you seen anything I missed? --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 09:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't know the pages where merged. I saw The Best Damn Tour (with two spaces since that link won't work) before it was deleted and was wondering if there was an article about the tour itself. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

What was there on those misnamed pages was copy-pasted from here, as far as I could determine. There will probably be enough coverage in reliable, third party sources to recreate the thing once the tour gets underway, btw. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 09:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Well alright, just wanted to make sure it didn't get overlooked. --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi: You put a comment on my Talk page asking me not to add unsourced material as I did to the article on Jonathan Knight. You must be mistaken. I have no idea who Jonathan Knight is, have never looked at the article on him, and have no interest in the subject. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.74.61.67 (talk) 21:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

The figure of speech "Paraprosdokian" should be "paraprosdokia"; I was trying to change the entry heading at the individual entry for Paraprosdokian to -kia (without the "n").

Sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Traillspencelow (talk • contribs) 18:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Bep-and-matt (talk · contribs) has a history of uploading fake album covers, so you might want to check out this one; it looks fake to me. An image search turned up no valid image for that album's cover, and the text looks like it was done up in MSPaint or something. Since you warned this user before for uploading fake covers, I thought you might want to take a look at it.

Actually, that one seems to be real. I remember checking it out a while back myself because I thought that it looked homemade too. Just a really crappy cover, I guess. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 21:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
