[edit] Re: Donnie Davies
I'd wait for an admin to come along and close the DRV before starting a new AFD. I can't close the DRV since I took part in it, so it may be a day or two before that happens. --Coredesat 05:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the edits to the Davies article. It needed the addition of those references to address the notability/verifiability criticisms in the AfD. Gerta 15:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] RE Deletion of Donnie Davies
I've looked at your changes and have now changed my vote to Keep, as you've now added adequate third-party sources. Walton monarchist89 18:22, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] JoeMyGod post
Thanks for the input on the Donnie Davies article. I haven't had time to contribute much to it beyond a minor edit or two, but it looks much better. Is there a reason you think the earlier post about not knowing how to work wikipedia came from JoeMyGod? I do think his demand for attribution is a little self-serving, although I guess at least he didn't just go in and do it himself. But according to the history, the earlier, whiny post appears to have derived from a Navy IP address in San Diego, and I think Joe is from NYC. He did neglect to sign the later post, but his account is there in the history, and only for that edit. Gerta 20:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, my local host search and a remote WHOIS both gave navy sources for that IP. As you pointed out, the routing can make it difficult to know for sure. But all the more reason it might be safer to assume good faith by Joe (?).
As for the hoax evidence, I looked through the references in the article, and I still can't find anything for the lack of scripture or the stereotypical dress/behaviors. I didn't notice when I posted my discussion comment that the circularity of the websites is indeed properly referenced, so at least that's solid. But these other 2 points are driving me a little crazy, because I feel like I read them somewhere that could be referenced. I'll keep an eye out, and if I catch it I'll add the reference(s). Maybe the discussion page will jog someone else's memory.
It looks like this whole Davies thing may finally come to light soon. JoeMyGod seems to have flushed Davies/Oglesby out of his hole at least a little bit, and comments from his publicist sound intentionally vague: Wash Blade "Action Alert". Gerta 04:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
