Hi Bunchofgrapes, I didn't say this before, but my thoughts have been with you since your announcement earlier, and I hope things are going better for you and yours. I came across this article Apple milk, while I was over at CAT:CSD the other day and decided to bring it here. You have a reputation as our culinary go-to guy, among other things of course. Would you like to look into this? It was marked for speedy deletion by an anon as a hoax, but it seemed somewhat plausible to me, and I ran it through google only to end up in a vast hall of mirrors, repeating exactly those same two lines from the article, somewhat reminiscent of a scene in one Bruce Lee film. Maybe you know of some way to verify it? Best wishes, DVD+ R/W 23:50, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Hogeye just created two pov forks of Anarchism ( anarchism (social) and anarchism (political)). These are both clearly pov forks and were redirected to the anarchism page, which hogeye has already reverted calling it vandalism (even though I explained why on the talk pages of each). Hogeye knows this is against policy and doesn't really give a damn as evidenced by his message on Talk:Anarchism under the topic "YANDP".

Dear Bunch of grapes,
We recently started a not for profit web forum called silver-collector.com, which I added to the page on sterling silver.
You removed the link and posted that there should be no web forums.
I respect you decision but I'd like to ask you to reconsider....
On silver-collector.com, we have sections with information on cleaning silver, discerning between silver and silverplate and on how to read English silver hallmarks. Would it be more acceptable to link directly to one of these pages, like for instance...
http://www.silver-collector.com/cleaning-silver-vf5.html
http://www.silver-collector.com/topic30.html#52
http://www.silver-collector.com/topic4.html
The majority of the other links on the page are to commercial websites. I'm surprised that my link was removed and theirs were not.
I fully understand your opinion that generally it would be unacceptable to link to forums from wikipedia, but as the content of this forum is relevant and I believe many uses investigating sterling silver would be interested in getting help researching silver hallmarks, would you consider allowing the entry to return??
When I added the entry to sterling silver, I also added one to 'hallmarks'. If you believe that the entry is inappropriate, I will remove that entry as well.
I won't argue with your decision

[4].
You mentioned at User talk:Juhtolv that you liked his creation of Category:Illegal foods. It's under a CfD at
Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_October_15#Category:Illegal_foods
I not only liked it, but I wrote a number of reasons why I think it's important for readers to understand how the food laws are being globally used and misused; for example, a USA ban on commercial recipe use of Stevia herbal sweetener during an obesity pandemic.
The CfD nominator thinks the cat could become too large, but I'm not convinced that's either true or a valid objection. The regulars did persuaded me that the category is misnamed for technical specificity. So I've proposed a rename/recreate of Category:Foods selectively or conditionally prohibited for sale.
So far, I'm the only supporter for a rename/recreate, but maybe you could support that option? Unless there is some additional support, it could get deleted under the rename/recreate as well.

Thanks for catching and fixing my inadvertent deletions so quickly. That's a sadly divisive AfD (with some overly harsh words by otherwise good editors on both sides) so I'm glad you were able to catch it before it could mistakenly be ascribed to some ulterior motive. -- A.

(followup) Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. However, I do appreciate that you took the time to comment, and I paid close attention to your thoughts, as I do find it a valuable thing to understand how I am perceived by others in the Wikipedia community. If there is anything that I can do in the future to help further address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. -- Elonka 09:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I did send you that email. I'll be putting something up about this get-together over the weekend. -- llywrch 22:05, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. However, I stand by my statements, with the verifiable links I provided. Your statement about Elonka's participation, where it came to Lost, was misleading at best. -- PKtm 20:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bunchofgrapes! Immediately after my reversion of Giano's thinly veiled personal attack, I dropped him a line on his talk page explaining my revert. I hope this helps clear things up! hoopydink Conas tá tú? 20:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
