If you hadn't noticed a vandal put The Beatles up for deletion. As this is clearly vandalism I reverted to the article previous to the notice - however I realise that the notice is probably in the Wiki system and I need an admin to get it removed. I will argue that the lesser evil is to remove the tag from the article to avoid confusion, and then do the business with Wikipedia. I'm copying this note to Kingboyk in case you are busy.

Dear Lar, may I enlist your serives as my clerk once again? I have requested that Q12 and my non-response to it be refactored out of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Candidate statements/Questions for Crzrussian and onto my talk page - but I don't think it would be appropriate for me to do so myself, for obvious reasons. Could you review this request, and either fulfill it if you think the request appropriate, or state for the record on Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Candidate statements/Questions for Crzrussian that you think the request is not appropriate. I'll defer to your decision on this, unless, for whatever reason, you choose not to serve. Thanks a lot. - crz crztalk 20:20, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Oh dear, you've found out my secret! I was going to ask you to keep it to yourself, but on further consideration, I beg of you, please take appropriate action! This Guinnog account is way too prolific and I simply cannot maintain the account's image anymore! Sarah Ewart ( Talk) 21:06, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
That'll be it likely. Which reminds me, I am still searching for a John Courage photo for you. It might make a nice project award or Barnstar, what do you think? -- Guinnog 23:28, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
I think it would be much more collegial to confine suggestions of wikistalking to user talk or RfA pages, rather than article talk pages, don't you? RoscoHead 21:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
(deindent) Hi Lar, sorry to butt in. I've asked RoscoHead to back off. Can I ask you too to let this drop here? As I said to the other user, I don't think it is going anywhere good. Apologies again for playing the cop; I know you can fight your own battles. Just don't think this is the place for it. Best wishes -- Guinnog 01:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
redacted to User_talk:Great2bnaustin#Intimidation.3F per my policy. Threads should stay where they start for best clarity. ++ Lar: t/ c 05:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Lar. I've been asked for a copy of a deleted article. Ordinarily with userfication I'd undelete and move to userspace, but this article has over 500 edits. Do you think it's alright to just copy the latest revision for the editor? Any GFDL issues? -- kingboyk 12:52, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Ah, but sadly I'm not an admin, story of my life, I've always been interested in secret societies and things since my very best friend Gianluca and I formed a very secret society, we too had codes and initiations and secret ways of communicating just like Lar's; but then Gianluca's mother said we had to admit his sister Eleanora, and all the other members left and formed their own secret society and wouldn't let us join unless we lost Eleanora - so we lost her but alas she was found and Gianluca's mother told my mother and it all became very unpleasant and stressful - and I never did again join a secret society - so I'm just interested - does Lar though have to wear a special hat, or something else distinguishing, when he's initiating?

Have no fear Lar, I never miss a trick! Giano 21:09, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
So, does "fairly shortly" mean " real soon now", or are there other complications that are delaying things? ;-) Kirill Lokshin 20:47, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your support! -- Guinnog 23:37, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Other than the meatball wiki reference, is there any such essay, or guideline or whatnot here on en.wikipedia? I keep thinking that we should if we don't already, but I don't want to duplicate effort. Thanks! Georgewilliamherbert 04:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Again, the issue of the month is inline citations. A Day in the Life, A Hard Day's Night (song), and Get Back have all been defeatured, as they failed to satisfy criterion 1(c) of What is a featured article?, and other song FAs are due for the chopping block. Inline citations are an important aspect of articles—they ensure verifiability and reliability, and they remove original research. Additionally, they give readers the option to read the original source material and view it within context. Basically:

Wherever possible, editors should help to trim down on list-like prose within Beatles articles. They should convert list-like sections into fluent, cohesive prose which ties an article's sections together. Lists make articles disjointed, awkward, and difficult to read. Be sure to take part in the Featured Article drive, and don't forget those inline citations! If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy! Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 008 – December 2006). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!

As the project is currently just starting, our more experienced editors are working on the project infrastructure, classifying articles, and listing/assessing red links. Your assistance is welcome. If you would prefer to just edit - and why wouldn't you? - we have a choice selection of red links to turn blue and articles to clean! Now let's get busy.
