What do u see the problem is with this page, I used to go to this parish and all i was doing was trying to create a page for my former parish so you have no right in doing it unless you have some bias against roman catholics Cymruman, Cymruman - timed 04:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I think I should apologize. My first thought upon seeing the AfD was that it should be speedied right away. I made my first comment before I saw the revision history, and the second before I saw your reports to AIV.

A very tough one indeed. I found that he does exist, and has note as a stage director [1] in Morroco and there seems to be a LOT of G-News coverage of him in French language. I also have found the films: Al Kanfoudi [2] and Brahin Yash [3]. They are pre-internet and sources are few, but they have been covered in books. If you care to withdraw, I will attempt an expansion and sourcing later today. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
I have updated the San Diego Thunder entry. It now includes references to multiple websites that prove the validity of the team. These sites include pages that cover the team's championship games, historical data, highlights, and also validate their league affiliations. I apologize for not posting these references immediately. This is the first wiki entry I have ever posted so I would like to thank you for your patience.
This season, the Chargers have given us permission to wear their old powder blue jerseys, which shows that well known organizations within the area are indeed well aware of our presence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdthunder ( talk • contribs) 09:45, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Check the page and you will see the references that prove that we were a member of the LCFL last season and are now members of the UFAL. You will also see that news of our team appears on websites for other teams as well (Indianapolis Tornados for example). There is also an article about us from the San Diego Tribune and several sites that display our current and past schedules.
If you visit the league website (referenced on the page) you will see that our league is being promoted by USC Head Coach Pete Carroll, who is a very well know person in the NFL and college football scene.
There is also a website in which a freelance videographer has posted game tapes of our team. I will add more later as I have to go to work now.
-- Sdthunder ( talk) 16:05, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Ok I'm starting to gain a better understanding of what you are saying. Sites other than our own are chronicling our seasons which shows that our cause is indeed important enough for others to cover it. I understand that you are looking for more than just mere existence which is why I provided references to sites that do not belong to our team. For example, NBA teams have other sports sites such CBSSports, ESPN, etc containing information regarding their team. This shows that those teams are important enough for outside parties to cover them. That is what the E-teamz, leaguelineup, UFAL, etc are doing. These sites are providing 3rd party coverage of our team. Would someone take time out of their busy schedule to create a site if they didn't think it was important?
Allow me to introduce then some reasons as to why we are important enough to have an entry. We are a non-profit organization: non of our coaches or players are paid. In fact our players have to pay fees to cover travel, field reservations, jerseys, and equipment. We are also very active in our community as we are involved in youth intervention programs and various charity events. This is why I feel this is entry is important. Others will see the entry and notice that we have helped others in the community. If there is a cause that needs attention they will come to us to help them out.
By educating people about our team we can provide awareness to important causes. The purpose of any encyclopedia is to educate people. To expect a Semi-Pro team to have the same amount of coverage as a pro team is unrealistic. We are not millionaires. We are average Americans who just so happen to love the game of football. Just because our players aren't on national TV or make a lot of money doesn't mean we aren't important. By having only topics that are mainstream you are defeating the purpose of Wikipedia: to introduce new concepts. I can't tell you how many times I was reading a wikipedia article that contained links to a topic I had never heard of before. Upon sharing this newfound concept with others they had never heard of it before either. Something great happened here: I learned something new and so did my friend.

Although WCRX-LP is broadcasting for two hours a day, because of renegotiations with various groups, we are about to expand our hours greatly. It makes me upset that you say that this public radio station has no assertion of notability. I have updated the page and added sources and broadcasting information about the station, following the proper format and order on Wikipedia articles about radio stations. WCRS is allowed on Wikipedia, but not us? We are two stations on the same frequency, because of an FCC timeshare agreement, and I do believe that we have as much right to be on Wikipedia, as WCRS does. Please reconsider your decision, thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onthedial93 ( talk • contribs) 16:59, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
The Bexley Public Radio Foundation is not using Wikipedia as a promotional vehicle or an advertising outlet.

The user Acroterion suggested you might be interested in looking at an entry for CSY boats [ [4]] It is my first attempt at a Wikipedia article. The CSY owner's group has their own website and was looking at building a page on the website to keep all of the information about these boats in one place - I suggested Wikipedia. My first submission was removed because it was seen as an 'advertisement' (although the company was out of business since the early 1980s). I have done some work on the entry but would welcome your thoughts, edits, or inputs if you have the time or inclination. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CSYguy ( talk • contribs) 15:15, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
It would need ot be updated, since some of the data is old and out of date (we do list Class A and D stations now even though that says it shouldn't). We should try to combine the notablity in media page with this one and make kind of a two-fer page (one stop for all).

Added links and information to a review in the NY POST that documents the validity of the posting. Pakitrickster ( talk) 02:21, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
It's under the banner of the NY POST which is the 13th oldest newspaper in the country. If their editors found it notable, I don't know why you wouldn't. No matter how the url starts out. It isn't a blog posting from some random site. Pakitrickster ( talk) 02:28, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Again, one that falls under the THE NEW YORK POST. The rules are guidelines not imperatives, there are exceptions for everything and in this case an exception is completely warranted. people have searched wikipedia for the REX pilot which is why a page was created. You don't have to believe me, but you can believe the numbers attributed to the Pilot. Follow the link to the NY POST and then the link to Vimeo. You will see a total of 19.7k full views, not page visits. There is obviously a place for this on wikipedia. Or do almost 20,000 people not count? Maybe I'm mistaken on what desire for knowledge, however small, counts as "notable." Pakitrickster ( talk) 02:38, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Blanchardb,
I wonder if you could help. I am new to wikipedia and have just placed a new article about Scottish Running Guide. I work for the publish the Guide but my reason for posting this was because I came across an article that mentioned Scottish Running Guide and this prompted me to include some details. I don't want this article to be about promoting the Guide merely to provide information about it as it is relevant to the running community in Scotland. Could you advise as to amend to make this more acceptable? Kfb7662 ( talk) 16:48, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Blanchardb,
Could you tell me if this is now acceptable?
Kfb7662 ( talk) 17:16, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Blanchardb,
Thanks for your help but there simply is no third party sources of information for The Scottish Running Guide so I'm afraid I can't do any better than that. Seems a shame now since it is now solely based on fact and the only reason that I placed the information was because of the article on magazines published in Scotland which I came across on wikipedia!

This is a distinctive publication that started in 1996 and continues to be ahead of its time in bringing timely articles in easy to read and distinctive format. For over a decade, long before it was fashionable, Legal Bytes focused on the legal implications of the convergence of technology and its application to every facet of business and personal life. The description on Wikipedia explains just how notable, distinctive and unique the publication is and having evolved from paper to a blog format increasing its readership from about 100 paper-based readers in 1996 to thousands around the world by 2008 and growing, is notable and worthy of mention.

This is not a single-household snack. It is offered at one of the largest waterparks in a huge market, Southern California.

Hi BlanchardB,
You just put a speedy deletion tag of the
CALICO - The Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium, article. It appears also that you have already deleted the article in spite of my adding an HangOn tag. A quick follow up of the link to its website , in particular :
and then:
will determine that this is a serious organisation concerned with education, managed by Texas University. It is a consortium of high level academics from many important US universities and colleges, and its mission is to promote and control the quality of computer assisted language learning programmes. The article may be short, but I feel that within the scope of any WikiProject concerning education, it has sufficient notability. I am a professor of linguistics, but I am personally in now way a member or otherwise connected with the organisation. if after reviewing the links and the organisation, you really feel it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for an article, I have no objection to it being removed. I do however consider 'Speedy Deletion' to be a harsh tagging, and that at least PROD would have been more appropriate. There are numerous less worthy articles in our encyclopedia that I would personally hesite before hanging an AfD on them.

Hi BlanchardB, You just put a speedy deletion tag on the Society of Hospital Medicine article. While you have yet to delete this page I wanted express that the was not any bad faith placed in the creation of this article other than to educate about the Society, its history and how it supports and assists a growing population of medical professionals (hospitalists). Within this article, there are citations and references to to other medical group present in wikipedia such as the american hospital association and major publications such as the new england journal of medicine. The information presented was created by a group of medical professionals that include some of the pioneers within this division of medicine (hospital medicine). I feel that post has not violated any commercialism and was presented as an educational tool. If there are areas fo concern, please feel free to respond to my talk page (additionally, i have placed a talk thread on society of hospital medicine where i challenge how other organizations and corporations can present their history, profile, etc. without being called self promoting (for example, Anheuser Busch, Girl Scouts of American, Beggin' Strips, and the american board of hospital medicine to name a couple that i cited).

Looking at the title, that sounds fair to include all the bridges - though it might duplicate existent content in the section of the Lachine Canal article.
They have a page mentioning about New York City bridges including creeks or in different boroughs. Though it might be tough to mention the bridges in a counter-clock wise fashion so probably the lead paragraph would have to change. JForget 01:08, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello,
I am a new Wikipedia user and I just created an article for "Rockbridge Associates, Inc." which you tagged for speedy deletion. I spent a long time researching and referencing many different sources including the University of MD, Fox News, NBN News, etc. and thought I was objective compared to several other company's wikipedia pages. Anyways, If you could let me know what I need to fix to get this article approved it would be greatly appreciated. As a marketing student, I have studied much of the methodology created by this company and I know I would have been able to dive deeper into their research had their been a Wikipedia page available in my earlier college years.

I am working on rescuing this and proving its notablity. Contrary to my initial reaction, I have been finding lots of good sources to prove notability, and it has been a "footnote" in the health care reform debate. Bearian ( talk) 21:55, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Surely the process of giving aid, managing procurement and promoting better health and stronger health systems is an important subject? IHP+ is not the only way to do this but it is one. Am happy to add more links/references if this helps. Thanks LauraHSD ( talk) 14:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for that feedback. Here was our thinking when we decided to put up a Wiki page: This programme is a WHO (World Health Organisation) sponsored programme which monitors and evaluates the IHP+ (the IHP+ is designed to change the way aid is given and spent to make is more reliable and effective). Human|Scale Development is a profit-making company but profits are not sourced directly from the success of the project and therefore this is NOT intended as publicity. We would like to raise the profile of the programme among people who are not professionals in this area particularly since one of the aims of the programme is to do advocacy for change. If you think some changes could be made to improve the focus on the activities rather then the company please let me know (or make them!). As this is only my second post I am aware that I may not have things quite right.
many thanks

Hi. I'm wondering if you'll reconsider your prod of the Carrotmob article I just created. I appreciate that Wikipedia frowns on neologisms, but this article is not simply a definition. Instead it explains a form of activism (akin to a boycott). Moreover, you'll see that I cited several reliable secondary sources: Time, NYT, and The Economist. I believe these address the concerns at Wikipedia:Avoid_neologisms#Articles_on_neologisms. Also, a NYT article (that I didn't cite in the article) that is specifically concerned with the definition of the term includes other "words of the year" such as Hypermiling and Staycation which have articles of their own. I admit the article could be expanded or even completely rewritten, but a prod? -- Fisherjs ( talk) 03:49, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
At the RfD page you mentioned, "Portuguese do = Spanish del, sometimes (not often) abbreviated as de". Did you mean del or do being very occasionally abbreviated as de? I have no knowledge of Portuguese and only a passing familiarity with Spanish, but del -> de sounds vaguely familiar, perhaps in the interest of euphony in rare cases of particularly cacophonous pairings, but no examples come to mind. -- Thinking of England ( talk) 14:37, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

23:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)According to a few sources, although Taschereau was indeed the name at the time of its construction, it was already no longer in uses by the 60s (see on p. 198). A few anecdotal references ( [7], [8]) state that the official name was change, a fact that the Commission de Toponymie's website confirms, with the current name officially listed in 1977. There is no risk of confusion, hence my removal of the hatnote as it IMHO creates MORE confusion by being there (I would be extremely surprised if somebody entered "Taschereau Bridge/Pont Taschereau" looking for the Pont de l'Île). Now, if you want to argue about the others 5 or so actual Taschereau Bridges known to the Commission, feel free :p One is actually located a mere few kilometers eastward from the Pont de l'Île!

Hi again,
I've had a few back-and-forths with you regarding my music site. In case you don't remember, I was curious as to why I was not permitted to link to our reviews on album pages and the notability issue was raised. I fully understand it and have respected it. With that said, why do sites that rank lower than mine (according to alexa.com) in traffic have reviews on wikipedia? I'm well aware that "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links", what I don't understand is why my site has been dismissed to the side while others of equal or lesser prominence are allowed to link their work. Iamnotacamera ( talk) 21:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Fair enough, I was in no way suggesting that I would start posting reviews simply because others have. I was simply curious because just about every album page I visit contains links to sites that are hardly notable by Wiki's definition. I appreciate the quick reply.

I'm going through and cleaning up the mess I made of Jetsunma's article. I wasn't straight with you guys, though my spin-doctoring against Jetsunma was pretty obvious to the Wiki community I'm sure. I did not have scholarly integrity in how I wrote the article about Jetsunma, cherry-picking negative information to put together as negative a picture as possible -- even more negative than the most critical materials out there. I knew what to use because I was one of the main sources on the book, The Buddha From Brooklyn, which is major conflict of interest as well (especially since I didn't admit my involvement and presented myself as an outside party and then used that book extensively for the article). In fact, my real name is Michelle Grissom, formerly known as Ani Dechen, and am actually a student who broke with Jetsunma in 1996. I was one of the main reasons the book was so slanted against Jetsunma. I was not honest in that book either, slanting information exactly the same way I did here on Wikipedia: I used things that weren't really a problem for me because I knew they would upset non-Buddhists. Describing a confrontation where -- after 8 years of my rebelling against the monastic community and my breaking my monastic vows -- she yelled at me and swatted me once, I called it a "beating," simply because the police term for any kind physical contact is battery. I swept my own behavior that led to this under the rug. Jetsunma has been divorced several times, to men who either were or later became her students, and I used that in the article to make her look like she was sleeping her way through her students. I also used the generosity of her students as a way to paint her as being very greedy, even though she's never even asked for a salary, and blamed her for the ongoing struggle to build a monastery, even though the main reason the monastery hasn't been built is that the land bought for it doesn't perk. I've taken all the spin-doctoring out of the article and I am very, very sorry I abused Wiki for my own personal vendetta. Longchenpa ( talk) 23:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Check the page and you will see the references that prove that we were a member of the LCFL last season and are now members of the UFAL. You will also see that news of our team appears on websites for other teams as well (Indianapolis Tornados for example). There is also an article about us from the San Diego Tribune and several sites that display our current and past schedules.
If you visit the league website (referenced on the page) you will see that our league is being promoted by USC Head Coach Pete Carroll, who is a very well know person in the NFL and college football scene.
There is also a website in which a freelance videographer has posted game tapes of our team. I will add more later as I have to go to work now.
-- Sdthunder ( talk) 16:05, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Ok I'm starting to gain a better understanding of what you are saying. Sites other than our own are chronicling our seasons which shows that our cause is indeed important enough for others to cover it. I understand that you are looking for more than just mere existence which is why I provided references to sites that do not belong to our team. For example, NBA teams have other sports sites such CBSSports, ESPN, etc containing information regarding their team. This shows that those teams are important enough for outside parties to cover them. That is what the E-teamz, leaguelineup, UFAL, etc are doing. These sites are providing 3rd party coverage of our team. Would someone take time out of their busy schedule to create a site if they didn't think it was important?
Allow me to introduce then some reasons as to why we are important enough to have an entry. We are a non-profit organization: non of our coaches or players are paid. In fact our players have to pay fees to cover travel, field reservations, jerseys, and equipment. We are also very active in our community as we are involved in youth intervention programs and various charity events. This is why I feel this is entry is important. Others will see the entry and notice that we have helped others in the community. If there is a cause that needs attention they will come to us to help them out.
By educating people about our team we can provide awareness to important causes. The purpose of any encyclopedia is to educate people. To expect a Semi-Pro team to have the same amount of coverage as a pro team is unrealistic. We are not millionaires. We are average Americans who just so happen to love the game of football. Just because our players aren't on national TV or make a lot of money doesn't mean we aren't important. By having only topics that are mainstream you are defeating the purpose of Wikipedia: to introduce new concepts. I can't tell you how many times I was reading a wikipedia article that contained links to a topic I had never heard of before. Upon sharing this newfound concept with others they had never heard of it before either. Something great happened here: I learned something new and so did my friend.

Although WCRX-LP is broadcasting for two hours a day, because of renegotiations with various groups, we are about to expand our hours greatly.

In no time at all this will be a widespread amusement-park food. I do not believe that due diligence has been given to determining the notability of this item.

That article made no assertion that it applied to a particular living person, hence A7 was inappropriate. I'm not sure any speedy deletion criteria would have been appropriate.

Hi BlanchardB,
You just put a speedy deletion tag of the
CALICO - The Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium, article. It appears also that you have already deleted the article in spite of my adding an HangOn tag. A quick follow up of the link to its website , in particular :
and then:
will determine that this is a serious organisation concerned with education, managed by Texas University. It is a consortium of high level academics from many important US universities and colleges, and its mission is to promote and control the quality of computer assisted language learning programmes. The article may be short, but I feel that within the scope of any WikiProject concerning education, it has sufficient notability. I am a professor of linguistics, but I am personally in now way a member or otherwise connected with the organisation. if after reviewing the links and the organisation, you really feel it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for an article, I have no objection to it being removed. I do however consider 'Speedy Deletion' to be a harsh tagging, and that at least PROD would have been more appropriate. There are numerous less worthy articles in our encyclopedia that I would personally hesite before hanging an AfD on them.
Best regards, --

Hi BlanchardB, You just put a speedy deletion tag on the Society of Hospital Medicine article. While you have yet to delete this page I wanted express that the was not any bad faith placed in the creation of this article other than to educate about the Society, its history and how it supports and assists a growing population of medical professionals (hospitalists). Within this article, there are citations and references to to other medical group present in wikipedia such as the american hospital association and major publications such as the new england journal of medicine. The information presented was created by a group of medical professionals that include some of the pioneers within this division of medicine (hospital medicine). I feel that post has not violated any commercialism and was presented as an educational tool. If there are areas fo concern, please feel free to respond to my talk page (additionally, i have placed a talk thread on society of hospital medicine where i challenge how other organizations and corporations can present their history, profile, etc. without being called self promoting (for example, Anheuser Busch, Girl Scouts of American, Beggin' Strips, and the american board of hospital medicine to name a couple that i cited). I look forward and respect your input, but do feel the speedy deletion tag is a bit harsh.

Looking at the title, that sounds fair to include all the bridges - though it might duplicate existent content in the section of the Lachine Canal article.
They have a page mentioning about New York City bridges including creeks or in different boroughs. Though it might be tough to mention the bridges in a counter-clock wise fashion so probably the lead paragraph would have to change. JForget 01:08, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, i'm writing about the article that i have just created about my self, and I was wondering why it has been marked for a speedy deletion, I understand that it's a conflict of interest but the guidelines state that it's strongly discouraged, not that you cannot do it, i'm not trying to cause any trouble or be a smart ass but i would just like to know what's going on, all the information on there is true, i know it's easy for me to say that since i'm the person writing it, but you can confirm all of that information with my other pages on Myspace, Facebook, Triple J Unearthed, Youtube and Last.FM.

Hello,
I am a new Wikipedia user and I just created an article for "Rockbridge Associates, Inc." which you tagged for speedy deletion. I spent a long time researching and referencing many different sources including the University of MD, Fox News, NBN News, etc. and thought I was objective compared to several other company's wikipedia pages. Anyways, If you could let me know what I need to fix to get this article approved it would be greatly appreciated. As a marketing student, I have studied much of the methodology created by this company and I know I would have been able to dive deeper into their research had their been a Wikipedia page available in my earlier college years.

Surely the process of giving aid, managing procurement and promoting better health and stronger health systems is an important subject? IHP+ is not the only way to do this but it is one. Am happy to add more links/references if this helps. Thanks LauraHSD ( talk) 14:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for that feedback. Here was our thinking when we decided to put up a Wiki page: This programme is a WHO (World Health Organisation) sponsored programme which monitors and evaluates the IHP+ (the IHP+ is designed to change the way aid is given and spent to make is more reliable and effective). Human|Scale Development is a profit-making company but profits are not sourced directly from the success of the project and therefore this is NOT intended as publicity. We would like to raise the profile of the programme among people who are not professionals in this area particularly since one of the aims of the programme is to do advocacy for change. If you think some changes could be made to improve the focus on the activities rather then the company please let me know (or make them!). As this is only my second post I am aware that I may not have things quite right.
many thanks

Hi. I'm wondering if you'll reconsider your prod of the Carrotmob article I just created. I appreciate that Wikipedia frowns on neologisms, but this article is not simply a definition. Instead it explains a form of activism (akin to a boycott). Moreover, you'll see that I cited several reliable secondary sources: Time, NYT, and The Economist. I believe these address the concerns at Wikipedia:Avoid_neologisms#Articles_on_neologisms. Also, a NYT article (that I didn't cite in the article) that is specifically concerned with the definition of the term includes other "words of the year" such as Hypermiling and Staycation which have articles of their own. I admit the article could be expanded or even completely rewritten, but a prod? -- Fisherjs ( talk) 03:49, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
At the RfD page you mentioned, "Portuguese do = Spanish del, sometimes (not often) abbreviated as de". Did you mean del or do being very occasionally abbreviated as de?

23:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)According to a few sources, although Taschereau was indeed the name at the time of its construction, it was already no longer in uses by the 60s (see on p. 198). A few anecdotal references ( [7], [8]) state that the official name was change, a fact that the Commission de Toponymie's website confirms, with the current name officially listed in 1977. There is no risk of confusion, hence my removal of the hatnote as it IMHO creates MORE confusion by being there (I would be extremely surprised if somebody entered "Taschereau Bridge/Pont Taschereau" looking for the Pont de l'Île).

Hi again,
I've had a few back-and-forths with you regarding my music site. In case you don't remember, I was curious as to why I was not permitted to link to our reviews on album pages and the notability issue was raised. I fully understand it and have respected it. With that said, why do sites that rank lower than mine (according to alexa.com) in traffic have reviews on wikipedia? I'm well aware that "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links", what I don't understand is why my site has been dismissed to the side while others of equal or lesser prominence are allowed to link their work. Iamnotacamera ( talk) 21:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Fair enough, I was in no way suggesting that I would start posting reviews simply because others have. I was simply curious because just about every album page I visit contains links to sites that are hardly notable by Wiki's definition. I appreciate the quick reply.

I'm going through and cleaning up the mess I made of Jetsunma's article. I wasn't straight with you guys, though my spin-doctoring against Jetsunma was pretty obvious to the Wiki community I'm sure. I did not have scholarly integrity in how I wrote the article about Jetsunma, cherry-picking negative information to put together as negative a picture as possible -- even more negative than the most critical materials out there. I knew what to use because I was one of the main sources on the book, The Buddha From Brooklyn, which is major conflict of interest as well (especially since I didn't admit my involvement and presented myself as an outside party and then used that book extensively for the article). In fact, my real name is Michelle Grissom, formerly known as Ani Dechen, and am actually a student who broke with Jetsunma in 1996. I was one of the main reasons the book was so slanted against Jetsunma. I was not honest in that book either, slanting information exactly the same way I did here on Wikipedia: I used things that weren't really a problem for me because I knew they would upset non-Buddhists. Describing a confrontation where -- after 8 years of my rebelling against the monastic community and my breaking my monastic vows -- she yelled at me and swatted me once, I called it a "beating," simply because the police term for any kind physical contact is battery. I swept my own behavior that led to this under the rug. Jetsunma has been divorced several times, to men who either were or later became her students, and I used that in the article to make her look like she was sleeping her way through her students. I also used the generosity of her students as a way to paint her as being very greedy, even though she's never even asked for a salary, and blamed her for the ongoing struggle to build a monastery, even though the main reason the monastery hasn't been built is that the land bought for it doesn't perk. I've taken all the spin-doctoring out of the article and I am very, very sorry I abused Wiki for my own personal vendetta. Longchenpa ( talk) 23:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
