[edit] Harlem mediation
Responding to the message you left on my talk page: The Harlem page is currently in the state that I prefer -- with footnotes by the facts that they are backing, so I have no complaints. You may want to contact Emerson7 directly to see if s/he still wants to see it changed. Uucp 12:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
i apologize for the delay...i guess i'm just not sure how this process works. i will continue with my objections comments on the harlem discussion page. --emerson7 | Talk 14:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

since our last correspondence there have been several corrections returning the text back to my wp:foot guidelines edits and only a two remain.
2.2 The arrival of African Americans
His company, the Afro-American Realty Company, was almost single-handedly responsible for migration of blacks from their previous neighborhoods,[6] the Tenderloin, San Juan Hill (now the site of Lincoln Center), and Hell's Kitchen in the west 40s and 50s.[7][8] The move to northern Manhattan was driven in part by fears that anti-black riots such as those that had occurred in the Tenderloin in 1900[9] and in San Juan Hill in 1905[3] might recur. In addition, a number of tenements that had been occupied by blacks in the west 30s were destroyed at this time to make way for the construction of the original Penn Station.
2.4 Recent history
Finally, wealthier New Yorkers, having gentrified every other part of Manhattan and much of Brooklyn, had nowhere else to go. The number of housing units in Harlem increased 14% between 1990 and 2000[26] and the rate of increase has been much more rapid in recent years. Property values in Central Harlem increased nearly 300% during the 1990s, while the rest of the City saw only a 12% increase.[26]
in my understanding of wp:foot, and the 'chicago manual of style', these references should be located at the end of the nearest punctutation...in the this case, at the end of the sentence. although i sympathise, and have great respect for uupc's desire for 'intellectual honesty', if the reference tags are structured properly, with citations of page, paragraph, other relevant information, all ambiguity is clarified. the template:cite web, for example, has 22 fields designed for just that purpose. further, a complete explanation of the citation can be included with the tag to specify exactly what the editor intends.
though i completely understand the necessity for 'nearest punctuation clause', in my personal opinion, mid sentence tags make for difficult, distracted reading and should be completely avoided if possible. i favour the placement of properly formatted, well cited ref tags at the end of the sentence or thought. --emerson7 | Talk 17:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User:Yahya01
The anonymous edit from 89.243.65.194 (talk • contribs) is actually from the blocked user Yahya01 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log), who is currently blocked for 3RR violations at the same article. I request you to also look into similar hate speech and personal attacks from the same user here, and take appropriate action. I've reported it at ANB/I [1]. Thanks. --Ragib 21:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome back!
Hey Sam, just noticed there was activity at this talk page again. Good to see someone vigilantly rolling back things :)! (Would you believe the Twenty20 article included a sentence about "multiball" for a couple of months without anyone noticing? *sigh* ;) ) Sam Vimes | Address me 21:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I also want to welcome you back to activity on Wikipedia. I hope the batteries are refreshed and that you can rediscover some of the enjoyment you used to have here. Newyorkbrad 02:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, welcome back, both to Wikipedia and the MedCom; I look forward to meeting you in #wikipedia-mediation whenever our time zones allow so, in the future. Cheers, and best of luck, Daniel Bryant 07:00, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
