	===Deletion of Liam Kearns article===
	Hi. I wonder if you can point me in the right direction. It appears you have deleted a contibution I made about Liam Kearns on 2 occasions. Each time I made the contrbutuion I tried to improve the article.
	Liam Kearns is a very well known person in Ireland as manager of the ] football team. I would appeal to you to reinstate my article or tell me how to do this.
	Regards,
	]

	:The point is establishing notability - by reference to the guidelines; I deleted it as a repost as another Admin had already deleted it - it generally frowned upon to re-instate deleted articles without good reason. I suggest that you set up a sub page on your user page, and work on the re-draft there and then have another go. ] ] 12:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

	Hi Brookie, thanks for the answer. Is there any way you could retrieve the text of the article for me? Even, stick it up on my discussion page?
	I don't pretend to be very tech minded but I've made a lot of contributuons in the last year (a lot of them less significant that ] so I hope you can oblige
	Regards,
	]

	==A question==

	I got a warning about deleting selections from a page I created today. The creation of the page was an iterative process, which is why things have been added and deleted as I go.

	A question I have is how do I reference the information? The page periodically says that no references have been made for the information, but I don't understand where I even place the reference if the information is on a band and I'm IN the band, so it's first hand knowledge.

	:Thanks for the note - see ] - also always sign your posts with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> Thanks ] ] 14:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

	== Hatchment update (source) ==

	Dear Brooky, You intervened in my text on Dutch ]s. Do you need a source? I used "Van Fugelsang tot Fogelsanghstate" by Kees Kuiken ISBN 90 805545 8 8 Kollem 2003 (invented coats of arms of Dr. Pibo van Doma Blz. 26). The Dutch Republic was governed by "new men"...<BR>
	Faithfully yours,<BR>

	== Re: KEN mode page ==

	I've updated the page with sources. Could you give me a hint as to what more I need to legitimize the page?
	I've sourced as many online references as I could find. I won't be able to source print media until next week, but will do so Tuesday Feb 13th.
	Please let me know what you think and what more needs to be done.

	:Looks better - you might want to find a contributor or wiki group that does a lot of these type articles and ask for feedback. Be bold - enjoy! ] ] 10:54, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

	== Your neat vandal warning ==

	I saw your vandal warning at ] "Please don't be silly" and have to ask, is it a template? Just love it. --] 20:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

	:I think I've found a bug in it. I use it as <nowiki>{{subst:silly\|PageName}}</nowiki> and when it is in the format of <nowiki>{{subst:silly\|Talk:PageName}}</nowiki> it just spits out a nowiki version (text only). Thought you'd want to know. --] 23:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

	::Thanks ] ] 08:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

	== 3RR ==

	Hey - I hope that if i reverted an article more than three times than it could have been classed as "reverting simple and obvious vandalism", but please advise me if you don't feel that was the case. ] 17:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	:I don't understand your point - you were well over the 3x rule and could be blocked - but I'm feeling kind today and so won't! ] ] 17:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	::Well for that I thank you. I was just quoting from the ] page that says if the edits in question are simple and obvious vandalism then that qualifies as an exception to the 3RR. I presume the reverting applied to that of ], which was also reverted by many other users and the culprit was later blocked (via my warnings on his talk page and then reporting it to admins). I apologise for breaking the 3RR if you do not agree with me and I hope you will appreciate I was acting in the best intentions. Again, thanks for not blocking me. ] 17:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	:::I don't think it was simple vandalism though, but life is too short to waste time on it - but I respect your intentions and vigilence and so no ban! Keep up the good work! ] ] 17:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	::::'scuse me for offering an outside view here, but I'd say that was a very clear example of simple and obvious vandalism. The person being reverted was removing the entire essay and replacing it with text starting ''This was whinge from a controlfreak who couldn't control Misplaced Pages.''. I can't honestly see how that could not be considered vandalism. Anyway, no lasting harm done by anyone, thanks for your vigilance Will. ] 17:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	:::::No I disagree - but I am not going to waste beer drinking time arguing about it and the problem seems to have resolved itself. ] ] 19:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	::::::Well, that mystifies me utterly. If removing content and replacing it with an attack isn't vandalism, then I don't know what is. ] 19:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	As I said life is too short to spend it on semantics ~ pub calls ... ] ] 20:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	:Well, when you get back from the pub, or perhaps better, in the morning, maybe you could just spend 30 seconds explaining it to me? Perhaps I'm missing some point, or something. I genuinely would like to know how you could consider that as something other than pure vandalism. ] 23:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	== Your template on ] ==

	Would you mind being a bit more specific by leaving a comment on the talk page? The primary editors of that page are pretty new, so it would probably be more constructive to state your issues more concisely than the template does. Thanks! - ] 17:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

	:Done! (And I like your user name!) ] ] 19:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
	::Thanks and Thanks! - ] 21:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
