Im trying to figure out why I keep getting my entries for the Florida Whig Party and Modern Whig Party of Florida deleted. I am the assistant to the State Director of Communications for the Florida Whig Party. The Modern Whig Party of Florida does not exist. Everything I have added is truthful and verifiable if I was able to get to that point in my posts I could link and cite. Please contact Jason at 352-293-4139, he is the State Director of Communications.

Thanks for putting the information about my articles that may be deleted on my pages and notifiying me of them, otherwise I wouldn't have known about the messages or that they would have been deleted, I hope they don't get deleted, if they don't, it's thanks to you.

Hi. I would like to inquire with regards to the tags you attached to this article. Why Harvard and Oxford professor and chair is not notable for an article? And is the Oxford university website not a reliable third party source? Thank you very much. Regards, Grandmaster 07:07, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, being a professor is not by itself an indication of notability. And the Oxford University, as reliable as it may be, is not a third-party source in this case. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 10:36, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He is mentioned almost in every book that refers to Armenian primary sources, as he translated many of them into English. See for instance references to his translation of Moses of Chorene: [1] Also, whatever is written at Oxford website is confirmed by other sources, for instance:

R. W. Thomson was the Mashtots Professor of Armenian Studies at Harvard University and director of Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, DC.

What kind of source is required to establish notability of this scholar? Grandmaster 11:29, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, you simply need to show that he is often quoted as a reference. You've asserted just that above, but your article doesn't quite do justice to that. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:47, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see. How about this one: [2]

Constable's immediate successor (at Dumbarton Oaks) (1984-89) was Robert W. Thomson, Professor of Armenian at Harvard University, an indefatigable editor and translator of decisive Armenian, Syriac, and Greek texts — I count ten and there are probably more — to say nothing of two textbooks on the Armenian language, and much else besides.

Forgot to thank you for the help with the Tony Spinner article. Thanks.Jeneral28 (talk) 22:54, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding my recent problems with listing the AFD for Crash Bash 2, I use twinkle and have only recently started having issues with it. It only happens about 10 percent of the time, but when it does, it appears to list everything correctly but will not create one or more elements of the AFD process. For instance, I have had it not notify the original editor, not create the tag on the entry, or not list it in the daily AFD list. Sometimes all three happen. I have not been able to troubleshoot this issue as it seems to be random. I'm using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7 Release Candidate. If you have any suggestions, I would certainly appreciate your input. Thanks in advance. Wperdue (talk) 01:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)wperdue[reply]

Mr Blanchardb, I do not know why you are so quick to jump to conclusions and try to delete our article. It clearly states that what we have created has become considerably large in the past 5 years, and it confuses me that you are still willing to keep similar pages. Also, I don't know how you have any right to use profanity in your messages...No offense, sir, but none of us should stoop to that level.

Rockhead126 (talk) 02:35, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where have I used profanity? And if your "creation" has become as large as you claim, surely you can show us a third-party reference that would attest to that. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 02:42, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How do you explain the "WHY DO PEOPLE MAKE UP STUPID CRAP!" a couple of messages ago? Anyway, we don't do much stuff on the Internet, but we do have a cheap Internet page one of us threw togther. We update it every couple of months. http://peoplesrepublicofantarctica.webs.com/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockhead126 (talk • contribs) 03:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Show me with a diff that I'm the one who wrote that. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 23:20, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This was from the page creator: "I mistyped when I created the name of the page. The page is about the clinical entity known officially as "Depression of Alzheimer disease." He states right there that it was a typo when he moved the page to "Depression of Alzheimer disease", the correct name. If it was a common typing error or a similar situation that would be one thing, but "Depression" and "Dementia" are pretty far from common accidents that would need a redirect.--Human.v2.0 (talk) 00:23, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then it becomes an Author request speedy which should be issued by the page creator himself. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:24, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which is frankly two things (1) Something that a lot of editors arn't going to be aware of (2) more than kinda an irrelevant point when your declining speedy was based on assessment that it is not a typo when the creator himself states that it is a typo. I'll place a note on the editor's page asking him to request deletion, but it's an unecessary step in this situation, imo. --Human.v2.0 (talk) 00:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, didn't see that. Okay, I did the tagging myself with a {{g7}} template. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:32, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say, it seems you are doing a nice job on New Page patrol. It is rather rare that someone correctly identifies which articles are PROD's, Which one are AFD's and which one are pure CSD's. Thanks to you i even figured out that twinkle can place Prod2 tags, due to an edit conflict on Out of my shoe. Also, based on your edit history it seems that you even correctly retag articles which have been (incorrectly) tagged for CSD. Keep up the great work!

I admit, you made me laugh out loud ;) - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 11:37, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AightMun? also appears to be a problem editor. The IP and username are probably sockpuppets. WP:DUCK--The Legendary Sky Attacker 23:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize there were more than one problem editor.  Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 23:07, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
