[edit] Randy Galloway
Actually, I did another Yahoo! search and found with relative ease articles mentioning Randy Galloway and that he hangs out at Lone Star Park. Save this "didn't think so" crap for someone else. Duckdid 02:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism Warning
What vandalism do you speak of sir? I can't recall any vandalism I've done as of late. Don't be an asshole, dude. I'm removing your warning, and I'll warn you to stop vandalising my discussion page until you show me proof of vandalism. Good day sir. --Monosylab1k 22:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blocks
Hi there! Not to worry, I think you did the right thing. Here was my resoning for not blocking: for me, 65.170.1.10 stopped vandalising by the time s/he was reported. Other administrators might have blocked, taking into account the edit history of the IP. It's sort of a judgement call - at the time, I had the inclination to let the few incidents of the day pass. That IP does have a very odd edit history - I might periodically revisit that page just in case - especially since there is an AfD up that the IP seems particularly interested in. I hope this helps. --HappyCamper 23:11, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I can not get the Congolese flag to appear where it should go in Mbenga's infobax just as the Senegal flag appears for the Infobox on Diop above it. Can someone show me how to fix this? I am only trying to improve the article, so please don't bite the newbie. :)
Thanks. JohnM4402 05:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

- Fixed it for you. The name of the nationality should be "Republic of the Congo". Waitak 05:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- There we go... finally got it. The correct entry is Democratic Republic of the Congo JohnM4402

[edit] Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
