Have a barnstar!

		Your comment about the FBI "seal" was rather funny. Thanks for a good laugh! --ANowlin: talk 22:27, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Note

- The version you presented as my proposed text was not what I proposed. I've edited your comment to reflect what I actually proposed. Normally I would not edit a comment, but this was clearly a mistake on your part and one other editor had already commented that my version was too long, so I felt it needed to be corrected before others saw it.

DYK

It's verified and ready to go. The infobox needs to be filled out a bit though. I'm sure 1935 is the correct date even though it's been changed since then.

LOL!

Actually 1941 is the correct date - the seal was created in 1940 and first used in January 1941. -- ChrisO (talk) 21:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid the character count is still not okay, can you add some more to make it ready for DYK? --Pgallert (talk) 07:06, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

• While I'm not sure that this pc language adds much, this piece of vanity publishing at least indicates the spread of sealgate. Perhaps not worth adding, good luck with the more academic and historical research. . . dave souza, talk 18:13, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Andrew Montford

Chris, could you respond on Jimbo's page, please, whether you've read Montford's book? You've made some strong claims about it, claims that I don't think would be made by someone who'd read it, and it's directly relevant to the issue of how we judge expertise. SlimVirgin 02:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

No thank you, I already told you that I'm not interested in rehashing the RSN discussion. -- ChrisO (talk) 07:08, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

If you really haven't read it, I suggest you do, because your description of it isn't accurate. SlimVirgin 07:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

But did you read it? A simple yes/no will do. ATren (talk) 12:14, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Milan Paumer

Hello! Your submission of Milan Paumer at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Dincher (talk) 00:04, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

nice work, but it's missing in line refs Dincher (talk) 00:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

ready for DYK . Dincher (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Heidi Klum's husband

		The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
		I know we've argued sometimes in the past, but I have to congratulate you on your integrity. Jimbo's comments on T:TDYK, I feel, were anathema to the entire point of this wiki, and are, to me, tantamount to allowing the government to needlessly interfere with the running of the encyclopedia. We need more editors to not bow to such pressures. Sceptre 02:38, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Chris, I'm afraid I have to take an opposite position. I've probably agreed with you more than not on most other issues. I agree that the FBI's position was asinine. But a DYK on this article smacks of retaliation for the FBI complaint. I just think it's a bad move and I really hope that you'll reconsider and withdraw the DYK nomination. ScottyBerg (talk) 13:45, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

As I said on Jimbo's page, I think your compromise proposal is a very good one. Thanks for your flexibility on this. ScottyBerg (talk) 17:40, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Attorney General of Virginia's climate science investigation

On 11 August, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Attorney General of Virginia's climate science investigation, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Nice article. Well done. Kittybrewster ☎ 15:22, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Your comment at JW's talk page

Concerning your comment at Jimbo Wales' talk page, I refer you to Dick Cheney's exchange with Patrick Leahy in the Senate on June 22, 2004. -- ChrisO (talk) 17:31, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I have no idea what you are no about, I am a neutral and care less apart from the wikipedia. Off2riorob (talk) 17:34, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Come off it, you've been following me around for some time. -- ChrisO (talk) 17:37, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I have not, I do my thing to protect living people and to support the wikipedia foundation as I see fit and am able, if you bounce off me because of that then lets try to contribute something together. Off2riorob (talk) 17:41, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Global Warning skepticism

You put the deletion discussion on the wrong place. It's supposed to go on the daily log, not inside another discussion. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 17:07, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad. Thanks for fixing it! -- ChrisO (talk) 17:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Please refactor

"anti-science bloviations" and "crank" are not BLP-permissible labels, even on talk pages. Please refactor immediately. ATren (talk) 15:18, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Don't be silly. -- ChrisO (talk) 15:19, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Then I will. ATren (talk) 15:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Are you actively trying to get yourself topic-banned, or do you just not care any more? -- ChrisO (talk) 15:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Scottish Review of Books

I'm afraid your recent edit to the reliable sources noticeboard concerning the Scottish Review of Books deleted a number of posts, which I've restored. I've also answered your question about which Alastair McIntosh wrote that review. -- ChrisO (talk) 16:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that - and thanks for fixing it. Must have been a copy-and-paste error after the edit conflict, though I can't quite see how I managed to do it. Barnabypage (talk) 16:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
