Consider withdrawing...

...Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Merholz. You AfD'ed a vandalized version. - CrazyRussian talk/email 07:07, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying me of this. Are there any reliable secondary sources which validate the claim that Merholz was the first to use this word? Please reply to my comment on the AFD page when you have a chance. RFerreira 00:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

It's a little late for this article, but I provided better sources in Blog#1994.E2.80.932001 (s/a Talk:Blog#Origins_of_the_word_.22blog.22. It's worthless, I know, but I was there. --Dhartung | Talk 10:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Original research

Would this work? —It's The Cliff! 17:11, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

That looks good to me, why not? RFerreira 22:19, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, how does it look now? —It's The Cliff! 02:49, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

It is a good start. If you are aware of any additional sources which mention his date of birth, where he was born, and other biographical details, please incorporate those into the article as well. RFerreira 21:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Albert Barger article

You mentioned posting comments on your talk page and the article, so I'm posting my bits in both places. I hope that's not a problem, but if it is you can always delete me!

• Keep If this were just some blogger, I might say differently. But this is someone who ran for the U. S. Senate as a Libertarian [1] and received thousands of votes. And while a search for "Albert Barger" turned up 942 hits on Google, a search for the name he usually uses, "Al Barger," turned up 495,000! That's the problem with just doing a single Google search--it can miss a great deal. See also [2], and the official government site of the state of Indiana [3], not to mention 495,000 other sources. Reverend Loveshade 05:45, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Most of those hits were self-posts related to a blog, but thank you for the feedback. RFerreira 21:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Working on a Duke Community Wiki

Hey, we are making a Duke Community Wiki at http://www.duiki.com if you want to help out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.3.80.141 (talk • contribs) 05:37, 19 July 2006

Definitely! Thanks for the link, I'll keep it in mind when I'm in the mood to craft some dukecruft.  :) RFerreira 22:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Resources

Thanks for the contact - I'm glad you found my comments constructive. I put the information you asked about on the Paul Becker AfD page so as to share the knowledge with a wider audience; is there a list of reference resources that's maintained somewhere that this information could be on as well? I also went ahead and added my $453.67 worth of commentary while I was there. (I hope that if my lack of brevity really gets to be a problem someone will say something - kindly, but something!) Thanks. Chidom 00:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Your commentary was very helpful, it must have scared everyone else away because no one has commented since! RFerreira 20:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

WP:PORN

Yeah, I don't have a lot to add, but I made a comment just now. I've tried to work with guidelines before (WP:PROF especially) and the real problem, I think, is that any rules that imply non-notability should be avoided. Frankly, it's already way to easy to say something or someone or some topic is "non-notable"; we don't need to fuel that kind of behavior by having criteria (like < 100 films) that "imply" non-notability. It should be easy to establish notability, and much, much harder to establish non-notability. Mangojuice^talk 18:22, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
