Apology

On behalf of my fellow Wikipedians, I'd like to apologize for the nastiness which greeted you. We will try to determine what went wrong in this case and hope you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I second Wknight in apologizing for those here who seem to not know the rules as well as they think. Clearly, the subject asserted notability from the start. I find multiple Google news hits that support notability. I am astounded at what you have been subjected to. Dlohcierekim 02

Request to adopt

Hi there Mookman23, I was one of the editors involved in the wrongful accusation against you. First off I must apologize for the unecessary zeal with which me and my fellow editors vindictively accused you of vandalism - where in fact we were in the wrong. I understand that you are enthusiastic to contribute to the encyclopedia and I wish to offer the proposal of adoption (See WP:ADOPT for more info), wherby I will have the opportunity to mentor you along the way, as you learn about wikipedia, its policies and its guidelines. This is of course purely optional and you have no obligation to accept. I hope that we can overcome this unfortunate incident and continue to contribute and improve the encyclopedia. --Superflewis^(talk) 12:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I also second this. Last night I wasn't in the best of moods, and I apologize for getting resistant and very stubborn, and if you might put it that way, taking it out on you. This was not my intention. Normally, I hit the revert button when someone else had already reverted an edit by the same user, so I automatically assumed you were removing the deletion tag. I have now learned that that isn't the best thing to do. Both Superflewis and I sincerely apologize, and I hope I haven't discouraged you from further editing. Sincerely, Jn t • c 00:20, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
