[edit] Re:
John Seigenthaler, Sr. was an orphan article that got Wikipedia a lot of bad press because basically no one had really looked at the article, until the subject of the article did. If there'd been an inbound link from say, John F. Kennedy, the incorrect claims would have probably just been up for a few hours, instead of a few months. If the reference is too confusing feel free to remove it from the bot's page. --W.marsh 03:59, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UCF
Where did you get your information regarding UCF housing? I'm a UCF student who lives on the campus; when I re-registered for housing for this Fall and Spring, all of the forms clearly stated that the dorms were reserved for freshmen and the AV apartments were reserved for upperclassmen. The website also indicates so. I'm going to leave it with your changes, because I don't think that it actually matters and does not affect the quality of the article, but I just thought that I'd ask what your source of information was.

- From my experience with housing. I've lived in Apollo for three years and knew a freshmen living in an AV apartment. They reserve 15% of housing in general for upperclassmen; but where it is makes no difference, that is determined at contact signing.
- For the most part they don't advertise that upperclassmen can live in Apollo or Libra: one has to go to housing themselves to request it (except for OSC hall in this past year). The AV apartments are the first units on campus to fill up because they're in highest demand: and for fall generally do so before many people have even gotten to turn in their contact, but occasionally when they have space available freshmen can live there.GromXXVII 13:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Watchlist
From your userpage :
I'd love to know how the watchlist works: It appears to only list about 1/10th of the modifications from any given day.
From what I understand about the watchlist, it only appears to list an article once in the list, so if a newer edit occurs to an article already in the list, it will be moved (rather than duplicated) to the head of the list which might explain the low change count. You can turn off listing of edits made by bots and/or your own edits which may also go some way to explaining it.
Additionally, thanks for your input into the God talk page regarding parody religions, but I don't think the debate will go anywhere unless another user joins in, Grace Note seems to want to settle the issue by insulting me (and briefly you), and is apparently renowned for ignoring other peoples point of view and resorting to insults when things arn't going his way (He's also been blocked before for such actions).
