:David, thanks so much for the supportive message on my talk-page. I feel I've rather lost sight of the wood for the trees - probably over-researched and too precious about it. As for the two sections with almost no inline citation - I can do little if anything about that. Maybe a couple of days off from it will help.

David, I've been following your contributions, am aware of your background and would much appreciate some input on the gladiator copyedit. I've posted the underlying issues on the talk page.

The first four paras are (more or less) now referenced. Some glaring omissions remain. In your opinion, are these sections already overloaded?

The rest of the article will have to receive similarly drastic attention.Haploidavey (talk) 15:54, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Just got your message at my talk page. Much appreciated! You may have noticed, I've thrown caution to the winds. Bold's the word. And polite at all times, of course. Yup...Haploidavey (talk) 23:14, 24 February 2009 (UTC) (again, forgot to sign)

WP:BLANKING

believe it or not, IPs are permitted to blank their talk pages. they should not be reverted if they do so. cheers, –xeno (talk) 22:36, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Of course they're permitted -- anybody can do anything they want. Deal is, this IP is high-vandalism, if not vandalism-only. I read the wikipolicy referenced, and I don't think it's one of the better ones, but will abide. Thanks for the headsup. DavidOaks (talk) 04:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
