After the recent peer review in which you participated, I was wondering if you might look over the article and consider whether it is worthy of being improved to A-class. I really believe that your comments in the peer review have brought it to this quality level. If you believe so also, please change the talk page template to indicate as such. Thanks so much. — Scm83x hook 'em 08:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Allen. Dr Pepper Ballpark has gone up for featured article status. Considering that you contributed to the peer review and are therefore familiar with the article, I was hoping that you might come by and drop your comments at the FAC here. Thanks so much for your input. — Scm83x hook 'em 22:29, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid ISBN tag in Evan Mecham

I noticed that you recently added this article to Category:Articles with invalid ISBNs, and based upon User:Rich Farmbrough\Invalid ISBNs the ISBN that is apparently at issue is the one for the Watkins book. While I do not know what methodology you used to determine that the ISBN was incorrect, I am able to state that the number in the article matches the numbers listed for the book in the Library of Congress catalog and the Amazon listing for the book. The formatting of the number also matches the formatting used on the back cover of my local library's copy of the book. As a result of this information verifying the book's ISBN, I have reverted your addition of the article to this category. --Allen3 talk 15:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article said ISBN 0-668-09051-6 it is actually 0-688-09051-6, a subtle difference (I have corrected the article). The check (for most ISBNs I have labelled - some have digits missing) is by comparing the check digit (the last) whith what it would be assuming the rest of the number is correct. I don't label an incorrect hyphenation, I fix that. Regards, Rich Farmbrough 15:41 25 August 2006 (GMT).

Thanks again for making the effort to provide comments and feedback on the US housing bubble article. As summarized at the page Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates#Response_to_objections_raised_above, I believe that all the objections and issues raised have been addressed. Would you please have a look and consider supporting this for "featured article" status? Especially given the (unfortunate) recent news (see, e.g., today's New York Times "most-emailed" Op-Ed "Housing Gets Ugly" here), this would be an especially timely featured article, and help "Wiki" live up to its speedy name.

Vandalism

Hello. Please block User:Malfunction. This is vandalise arcicle Limp Bizkit. All user reverted edition User:Malfunkcion. Please this user block for 10x 3RR. LUCPOL 16:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a review of the article history showed that an edit war involving multiple user accounts and anonymous editors over the order of the two terms used to describe the genre has been brewing for a couple of days, I have instead protected the page. --Allen3 talk 01:36, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you do the same for the Fred Durst article? User:83.18.242.234 is the main user responsible on both articles. He's been attacking this little detail for weeks, and a small handful of us have repeatedly been forced to revert his edits. He's been known to make it seem like other users are vandalizing when in reality they're changing back his edits. Thank you in advance. - Stick Fig 04:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Fred Durst article does not show a clear edit war. Limp Bizkit's edit history showed clear evidence of multiple individuals involved on each side of the dispute. This was compounded by what appeared to be sockpuppets and anonymous IPs being used by involved parties to get around WP:3RR limitations. --Allen3 talk 10:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warning. Please revert (Limp Bizkit is rapcore/nu metal, is not nu metal/rapcore) and protected. Your protected warning arcicle. LUCPOL 10:29, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see m:The Wrong Version for a fuller explanation of this issue. --Allen3 talk 10:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me out...

Hi. I've been working on my user page, and were wondering if there is a template existing to show a specific user's number of edits (namely, my own). Thanks, aido2002 04:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean a userbox, but something like {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}, like it is used on the Main Page to say we are currenly working on.aido2002 10:28, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can modify articles with oldpeerreview?

Thanks for changing Flow-based programming to oldpeerreview! However, I just had a couple of ideas for clarifications - can these still be added? Probably dumb question! Jpaulm 14:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dance of the bee

I've added some references into wikipedia itself now. It is hard to find articles on it on google, because it just goes on about the honeybee dance! I've removed the deletion tag, look into gustave flaubert, 'the dance of the wasp' rather than 'the dance of the bee', the Ghawazee, and Kuchuk Hanam, and you should find something somewhere!

Teleperformance Stub

Hi I was trying to give this stub a more NPOV and cite at least a couple of references, could you give it a quick check and see if it's looking better? Thank you.- Ziggrrauglurr 23:45, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Peta Pov tag

You response to the peta pov tag mirror my sentiments exactly. It is getting very tiresome having to go over it again and again every time someone can't be bothered to read the talk page.-Localzuk(talk) 12:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE: The Game

I am refering to the addition I made to "the Game". The game is a phenom.... in.. a.., somthing like that, its spred by word of mouth. I for one play the Game. I am also a citizen and a resident of Canada. (Just in case you don't know where that is...... it is in North America, just north of that country that I shall not name.)

Thanks for including the Ocular ischemic syndrome in DYK on Oct 27. However, the notification for the same was not put on my talk page. Is that a norm, or is it out of the ordinary? EyeMD T|C 12:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
