| :Wow, I just noticed that you unblocked him without bothering to discuss it on AN or with the blocking admin. That's extraordinarily poor judgment, Michael.

Jesus Youth
I'm tryin to create an article about Jesus Youth. But as i submit the article it just got deleted. Can you please help me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samantony (talk • contribs) 03:51, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- This article has been deleted five times at "Jesus Youth" and four times at "Jesus youth". Given it's been deleted nine times, it's probably a sign that this is not appropriate for Misplaced Pages. It seems that the primary problem is concerns about notability. Please look at the Notability guidelines to be sure that this group warrants an article under Misplaced Pages guidelines. Your own version was deleted as a copyright violation. Please do not copy and paste material from other websites, books etc and upload them to Misplaced Pages. Instead you need to write articles in your own words. We do not accept material copied from elsewhere. Sarah 02:00, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Kogan Creek power Station Edit by phanly / dinghy
Hi Sarah, As you were involved in the fracas of my making re edits re CARMA estimates for an Australian Coal Fired Power Station I wanted to give you the opportunity to consider the edits I intend to make: Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Kogan_Creek_Power_Station,_Queensland A similar edit to that intended there will also be relevant to each other article on coal fired power stations in Australia As CARMA is the best available and a reliable source for an estimate using the specific page on their web site which deals with the specific power station as a reference under Misplaced Pages guidelines is not link spamming. Kind regards dinghy (talk) 20:48, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- I wasn't involved in "the fracas of (your) making re edits re CARMA estimates". I was simply the administrator who cleared the unblock requests, reviewed your sock's unblock request and discovered your abusive sockpuppetry. I have no real interest in this beyond the fact that I believe you use socks to try to keep your primary account clean and distant from your spamming (and yes, going from article to article inserting lobby group links is spamming). I think you would do well to forget about trying to spam your link into articles and go do something else. Sarah 01:05, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Singer's Midgets deletion
Hello. I see you speedily deleted the article Singer's Midgets on October 4. Just out of curiosity, would I be able to get a copy of that article? The Singer Midgets were a pretty important performing troupe in the 1930s (they have their own entry in this Vaudeville encyclopedia), and I think they should be covered in Misplaced Pages somewhere. Zagalejo^^^ 03:17, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- Sure thing. I will email it to you in a few minutes. Sarah 04:42, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot. Would it be possible for me to start a new article on the topic? I'm confident that, with a little research, I can write something that's fully compliant with all policies and guidelines. Zagalejo^^^ 20:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine, Zagalejo. I deleted the article on the merits of that particular version and it doesn't prejudice any future article on the same subject, so if you want to write a new one you're most welcome to do so. Sarah 08:37, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

List of television stations in North America by media market
Hi Sarah,
Would you mind unprotecting the List of television stations in North America by media market article? I'd like to move it to List of television stations in North America; because there are no other lists of television stations in North America on Misplaced Pages, the method of sorting should not be included in the title. I would also like to add a navbox at the bottom. No one seems to have been working out the problem for which you originally protected the article; there has been literally no discussion on the talk page.
Happy editing,
Neelix (talk) 20:07, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Sarah,
- I do apologize for bothering you. I was incorrect in assuming that List of television stations in North America by media market was the main list of television stations in North America. I no longer wish to edit that article in any way. Feel free to leave it protected or unprotect it as you wish.
- Happy editing,
- Neelix (talk) 02:24, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, no problems Neelix (love your username). I was actually just looking at the article and I might try unprotecting it anyway and see how things go. All the best, Sarah 02:29, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
List of television stations in North America by media market (Part 2)
I will keep an eye on the page and hopefully the user that kept changing the information over and over and over to the copyrighted Nielsen information won't start up again. If he does, I will let you know so you can reprotect it. Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • December 4, 2008 @ 02:34
- No worries. It's been a couple of weeks so it's probably worth giving unprotecting a chance. I've added it to my watchlist and will try to keep an eye on it but please don't hesitate to give me a yell if need be as I'm quite happy to block or reprotect it immediately if they start up again. Cheers, Sarah 02:42, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
"Roleplaying"
As I expressed at user talk:Moondyne I found the discussion at Misplaced Pages:AN#User:_Moondyne_and_User:_Sarah mysterious. I've interacted with "Topology expert" for a number of months. I followed the link from your allegation of "role-playing" and I couldn't understand what you meant by that. Can you explain? Michael Hardy (talk) 19:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- No, I can't, sorry, for reasons I think would be quite obvious to anyone who looked through his non-article edits. Sarah 22:14, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
