Berkeley Breathed

Some of the stuff missing a source can be found on the site below, but it needs to be reworded as it rises to plagarism right now.

Thanks for your reply. I chose to write you because on the discussion page, yours was the entry most closely concerned with the issue. Beth wishes for the new year. --Beth Wellington (talk) 04:33, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Interesting incident that happened there. :P · AndonicO 08:02, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Assistance request

On an RfA, this comment was made. I realize this is an ArbCom issue, but I felt it should be deleted as a legal threat. Should I ever become an admin, I'd like to know your opinion on whether it should be deleted under WP:NPA. My opinion, yes. — BQZip01 —  03:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

It is a tough one. My general interpretation of the "no legal threats" policy is that person A is not supposed to make legal threats against person B or against the Foundation. The logic goes that if they are threatening to take legal action, then A should stop editing until A's legal action has run its course. If the legal action has run its course (including simply by A saying that a legal remedy is no longer being pursued) then A can edit again.
What we have here is slightly different. A is urging the foundation to take legal action. A is not saying A will take action so I don't think that qualifies as a threat.
If we classified this as a threat, then arguably we would have to make the same classification for any person who urges the foundation to pursue a course of action that is even vaguely connected with the law. Examples could include cracking down on people who are stealing our content and not using it under terms consistent with the GFDL.
Therefore, my read at this time is that I don't view this as a threat. Best, Johntex\ 23:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Makes sense. — BQZip01 —  23:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

2008 FAU page

I have worked my tail off creating basically the entire Florida Atlantic University section on Misplaced Pages (from the school, to the athletics, to individual sports pages). I created them and you went on to the 2008 football page and added information that is not necessary to FAU. Now you ask me to stop reverting MY original piece and "talk" about it? The burden is on YOU to explain to ME why the additions are necessary. I will keep reverting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yezn0r (talkcontribs) 04:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello Yezn0r. Thanks for your message; it is good to hear from you. Through dialog most things can be resolved.
I'd like to remind you that Misplaced Pages does not have YOUR articles or MY articles. We collaborate to make all articles better. It does not matter who started an article, anyone can come and add to it. Differences are resolved by discussion. If you continue to simply revert additions without discussion, you will be blocked from editing. Please review WP:OWN for a description of how this works, and of how you are not allowed to claim articles as "yours" and simply revert everyone else.
Thanks, Johntex\ 23:21, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Request for participation

Hello Johntex,

I recently nominated Iowa Hawkeyes football seasons for featured list status. However, to this point there have been no votes (or opinions) expressed, and I'm beginning to feel as though it will just slip through with no votes at all. It's not that I want my work (okay, okay, it's not MY work, but I did put a lot into it) to be recognized. I just want some honest opinions on how the page looks and maybe at the same time have it become a featured list. The nomination page can be found here and I would greatly appreciate any suggestion or comment you can make. I'm not here to ask for a support vote, but rather, I'm here just for some honest opinions. Maybe I should have done a peer review beforehand. ... Thanks in advance ... love your work on the Texas articles. Good job. CrdHwk (talk) 02:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
