Leonardo da Vinci

Hmph! There are those who want me to cite every reference with its page number individually, (I've lost count, but its about 170), thereby mmaking the page considerably longer. I've already divided it three way:

• Leonardo da Vinci - scientist and inventor- was he really in search of the "Philosopher's Stone"?
• Cultural depictions of Leonardo da Vinci- is that really Leonardo, or is it his grandfather?
• Leonardo da Vinci's personal life- did he like chicken?

WP:BLP and the various theme park "incidents" pages

Thank you for your input and continued monitoring. When I initially broke the various "incident" pages out from their main articles, all the news pieces had people's names in them. When the Superman incident happened last year, we continued to use the victim's names as had been the standard. As you can see from the commentary at that time that is posted at Talk:Incidents_at_Six_Flags_parks#tower_of_power.2C_victim.27s_name, there already is a fairly long discussion on how/where/why WP:BLP comes into play. Feel free to elaborate or create a special "top" section on the Talk page to flesh out that policy. If you do this, please be sure to make it generic enough that it can be copied and placed on the other "incident" pages as well. If it's good enough for one, it'll be good enough for all of 'em.

WP:RFPP

I just wanted to drop you a line and request that if your having issues with an IP vandalizing or an editor, please place a warning on the users page. If you find that it is an established user and are confident that he/she did make an edit that was unconstructive, remember this and just place a friendly reminder on his/her talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. Have a great day! Dusti^{complain/compliment} 17:29, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Its requested that you template the IP's because it assists Administrators in blocking problematic IP addresses. An IP or editor cannot be blocked if they haven't recieved enough warnings....see what I'm getting at? Dusti^SPEAK!! 23:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Camper Van Beethoven at Fillmore

Hi Ogre, I was just putting up this interview on the Talk page at Camper Van Beethoven. It was conducted just before the Fillmore show and may be of interest to you or anyone else who wants to edit the piece or needs a source. Why am I not doing it myself? Well, I work for the publication, Crawdaddy!, that published the interview. So to avoid COI issues the best I can do is tell you about it. Anyway, here it is if you'd like to use it. Best,Asst. Editor, Crawdaddy! FenderRhodesScholar | Talk 17:10, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
