Hi, Rod, could I ask your your assistance here. An ip is causing a bit of bother. Even though the content in question was sourced in the article, he insisted that the lead be sourced too, even though there is no need (per WP:LEAD). So I sourced the lead, couldn't be bothered to argue about it. When I sourced it, using a page number from a book (the most respected book on Michael Jackson), he took issue with the the formatting method (page number in the notes, book details in reference section). He removed my source and reinserted the fact tag, even though the source is reliable and formatted correctly. This is an ip who reverts first and asks questions later, and I feel as though I've gone out of my way to accommodate his demands (I hate sourcing leads). I'm also getting a bit of trouble on my talk page. Help appreciated. — R 2 23:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

However, there is no tab "bots" when I open AWB. Can you help me? :) Thanks, — Aitias // discussion 13:03, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Dear Rodhullandemu,
I don't know if you still remember when user:Stayfi (a blocked user here and in arabic wikipedia) put some allegations in the article about arabic wikipedia. Anyway, it seems that he returned with a new user name user:Retrospectiva 3 and now he puts his allegations in the talk page in purpose of hurting the reputation of arabic wikipedia. I don't know the policy here but does he has the right to do this in the talk page? -- Osm agha ( talk) 22:59, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Okay, no problem. I came across this interesting episode of her life while researching for Jayne Mansfield in popular culture (I cited two books though, both of reputable origin). Therefore, in my understanding, the information is quite right, though the sources cited in this case may not entirely be so. Aditya( talk • contribs) 04:08, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe your reason for blocking has been wrong, but you heart is on right place. Because Italian wiki is not having explanation of this word look italian name translation of article Le Dîner de cons on italian wiki. Italian cretino is english Cretin-- Rjecina ( talk) 06:07, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Can you protect this too please? He's the husband of Natasha Richardson. You may need to remove the death stuff, I keep getting edit conflicts. O Fenian ( talk) 00:07, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi, the BBC has now confirmed the death of Natasha Richardson, the link is http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7949195.stm - Kneale ( talk) 00:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
I managed to get the item deleted, thanks. An admin drove by shortly after the original post and speedy deleted it. I was having a bad day that day, managed to create the same page twice, with different capitalisation in the titles.-- Elen of the Roads ( talk) 00:39, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Why should I learn French because that person writes French on the ENGLISH wikipedia? I would consider what that person did as rude. Secondly that link was working perfectly last week. MegX ( talk) 01:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I have a favourite practice in these sorts of cases of just making sure everything that gets put in is true to the source(s)...a week later I winnow out the irrelevancies. Ambulance events would seem to fall into the 'irrelevancies' category. It would be a pleasure to have you join me in the subsequent cleanup. :-) Risker ( talk) 22:29, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, regarding removal of AWB privledges, what email address can I use?

Since after all this painstaking effort no one even mentioned "Dr. Robert", I would say that there is something lacking. HM211980 ( talk) 23:35, 21 March 2009 (UTC)HM211980
All of the songs on Rubber Soul have their own articles, but the rest of them are still mentioned in the album's article. It's not as if everything in any of these articles are hard facts. That's why they are not held out as credible sources. HM211980 ( talk) 02:08, 22 March 2009 (UTC)HM211980
