RE: "I think instead you should challenge that admin's interpretation so that he doesn't make it again".
But Gabe, bear in mind that four reverts aren't needed for an edit-warring block, so you're arguing only about the theory and I'm not sure there's any point. If he felt you were edit warring he could have blocked you regardless of 3RR. SlimVirgin (talk) 21:04, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Ezra Pound to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon, please nominate it at the requests page; if you'd like to see an FA on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with 1,317 articles in Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Bencherlite Talk 10:05, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
You seem to be doing well protecting articles but when it has an expiry date, it doesn't show when the article is protected. If you're having trouble putting the expiry dates in the protection templates, you may ask the other administrators. Happy contributing :). MegaGardevoir68 ( talk) 19:30, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
I know you've had some discussions in the past about this... would you like to weigh in at User talk:Ealdgyth#Cite ODNB? Ealdgyth - Talk 13:02, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello SlimVirgin! Our courses have intersected previously with my somewhat abrasive review of Female Genital Mutilation (sorry about that... part of my wiki maturation-process!) and I'm on my way to trying to nominate Cervix for GA. One major obstacle is that I can't find anywhere about the anatomical and social history of the Cervix. Some users have said that is WP:UNDUE but I would feel strange nominating without those components. I was wondering if you had any ideas where I might find those sources, or could point me in the right direction? Would be very grateful! Kind regards, -- LT910001 ( talk) 20:49, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
I requested on WP:RPP that Template:Non-free film screenshot be dropped from full protection to template protection, and you responded with "Already protected". Can you clarify this? Jackmcbarn ( talk) 03:01, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi there. You protected the article Persecution of Ottoman Muslims. That is why I kindly ask you to add the present photo to the section Turkish-Armenian War of the same, with the note: "Iğdır Genocide Monument and Museum, erected to the memory of Turks killed by Armenians." Thank you very much. -- 212.174.190.24 ( talk) 08:17, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

![]() | On 24 March 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article DJ Cassidy, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that DJ Cassidy's forthcoming album aims to "bring back the greatest and most universal dance music of all time"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/DJ Cassidy. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Dear SlimVirgin: I see that you have recently made an article about DJ Cassidy. There was an existing draft about the same person previously created, but not finished. Is there anything in this old draft that's useful, or should it just be deleted? — Anne Delong ( talk) 21:00, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
I'm taking a bit of inventory of about 20+ Qualcomm-related articles, where I have a COI to see which we should improve, which should be deleted, or which are fine the way they are. I came across a couple articles on marketing and sales executives Jim Cathey and Anand Chandrasekher. I just got off the phone with Anand and can confirm WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE and the Cathey article appears to rely on primary sources, quotes, brief mentions, etc.
I was wondering if you could take a look and see if they are good AfD or CSD candidates RE notability, etc.? CorporateM ( Talk) 23:53, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
