My mistake, sorry. I thought I had addressed an issue that had come up a few times in the article - a back and forth over controversy as opposed to religious. As I said, my bad. Thanks for catching the mistake. - Arcayne () 21:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Harry Potter roll-call


Hi there. Your username is listed on the WikiProject Harry Potter participants list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project. Your name has therefore been moved to a "potentially inactive" list. If you still consider yourself an active WikiProject Harry Potter editor, please move your name from the Potentially inactive list to the Active Contributors list. You may also wish to add {{User WP Harry Potter}} to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.

What about assuming good faith?

Sorry I put this at the top of your talk page at first.

I was in the middle of editing the Matthew Dowd page, moving part of the info about his career from the 'personal' to the 'career' section. I'm not deleting anything. If you'd slow down a bit with the accusations and look at the talk page for Matthew Dowd, you'll see that I discussed this previously.

Additionally, you are perhaps warning me against editing my own talk page? I didn't know that I was required to leave the baseless and false accusations against me - which I consider vandalism. But if that is the policy, I won't do it again. Dlabtot 17:17, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I put a detailed apology on your talk page. Dabomb87 17:22, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Congrats!

Congrats on finding my first secret page in a series of increasingly harder to find secret pages. =) Have you looked for the second?  hmwith  talk 21:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

BLP

This was actually unreferenced, unencyclopedic and highly controversial information about living persons. You shouldn't have restored it. Please be a little more careful in future, not every removal of content by an IP is necessarily vandalism :) Cheers, Melsaran (talk) 16:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Capital Metro

> "deleted paragraph which consisted of widespread speculations and POV content"

If you include complete nonsense (my POV) from Capital Metro's "Fare Value" brochure, then delete contradicting facts taken right from their budget, that does not yield a neutral article.

Yes, Dabomb87, my paragraph concluded with some, ah, original research, but certainly didn't "consist" of it. Don't just wipe it all out, help me fix it, OK?

Sorry about that. I saw the paragraph and tried to rephrase it while keeping out the OR, but it didn't work out well, so I deleted it. I meant to come back to it but just plain forgot about. It looks better now, thanks. Dabomb87 21:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Scathing Performance Review

Ralph Mudge 13:52, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dabomb87, I realized that "scathing" was strong wording but I used it anyway. Wouldn't everyone--even the Capital Metro's Board of Directors--agree that it was a "scathing" performace review? Hard to think of any other term to do it justice.

We could call it an "unfavorable" performance review, but that would come across as humorous understatement.

PS, Thanks for all the work you put in assembling the initial article.

Hello. I had to ask around a bit, but most people seem to agree that it doesn't matter which order the teams are in. *Cremepuff222* 21:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. Also, what type of dash do you use in sports scores? MOS wasn't very clear. Dabomb87 21:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Erm, again I don't think it mattes. Go ahead and use a normal dash. Remember, be bold in editing. *Cremepuff222* 23:34, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
