You Wanna help?

Hello Tennis Grand Slam, do you want to flow the procedure and create some of the rivalry pages!TennisAuthority 18:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello TennisGrandSlam, I am working on a laundry list of the rivalries in tennis, and would love your help, which before you pursue on be sure to tag it before it is done because someone else might be doing it!TennisAuthority 19:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I'd love to help! I'll try and make pages for the relatively more obscure rivalries.TennisGrandSlam (talk) 23:02, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

1st Paragraph of Roger Federer Article

Hi GrandSlam. Could you check the first paragraph of the Federer article and make sure the wording reflects what numerous experts have said? For some reason, certain wiki members are fiddling with the wording to try to whitewash the facts. I appreciate your contributions to the article. Thanks. TheTennisObserver (talk) 21:28, 21 June 2009 (UTC)TheTennisObserver

Slam, I replied to your comment on my user page. Thanks, as ever. TheTennisObserver (talk) 02:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)TheTennisObserver

JHU article quality

Please do not change the article quality yourself. The article has not been assessed as a WP:GA and certainly it's a conflict-of-interest for a very involved editor to also be assessing the quality of an article. Madcoverboy (talk) 15:41, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Center

Sorry about that, I was in a rush that day and reverted the wrong thing. The "The" in "The University of Pittsburgh Center for Public Health Preparedness" was incorrect for the article title, which is why I reverted it. I was sloppy about it, sorry. I appreciate your new CPHP article. No offense meant. CrazyPaco (talk) 16:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

JHU Press

The redirect from where the list was MUST be kept, because it's required by Wikipedia's copyright license. As for the others, you need to take them to WP:RFD (where I will probably oppose their removal).. Please see WP:CSD for the only circumstances where redirects can be speedy deleted. as for the edits themselves, see the JHU Press talk p. DGG (talk) 02:06, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! As a newcomer to Wikipedia I was unaware of these regulations. I had deemed the redirects redundant but I don't mind keeping them if policy dictates it so.TennisGrandSlam (talk) 03:25, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I've also started a discussion on whether the journal lists should be separate--there are multiple factors involved, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Academic Journals. Incidentally, i have been looking at some of the other articles on JHU & did some editing on the School of Public Health one. You might do well to read our FAQ about organisations. I want to encourage you to use a plainer style, not repeat the name of the organization, not use adjectives about how good it is--when it's as excellent as the various parts of JHU, the accomplishments speak for themselves, & not include details about how to get to the buildings that would not be of encyclopedic interest. In the positive vein, I'd encourage you to get the university to license some first rate pictures--and to put then on Commons for general use by all the Wikipedias. And I'd certainly also encourage you to write articles about anyone connected with the University that does not have them, and is obviously entitled--like being a full professor at a major university, or being a member of the National Academies--we are lacking most of the members of the Institute of Medicine. DGG (talk) 04:05, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you David. I really appreciate your advice. Incidentally I did leave a reply to your comment on the JHU Press page. I have plans on meaningful expansions of the articles on the schools of medicine and public health but they will probably have to wait until I can spare some more time in that regard; I agree that some quality images are sorely needed, hopfully I will be able to remedy that soon.TennisGrandSlam (talk) 19:33, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Undoing my reversions of a blocked sockpuppeteer

Hello TGS. I noticed you undid my reversion. That's cool, the only reason I'm reverting User:Chidel's edits is that he is a blocked sockpuppeteer and, as such, his edits are reverted on sight, regardless of merit. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

Per your accepted request, I have added rollback rights to your account. Ensure you only use rollback correctly, ie its intended usage of reverting vandalism only. For information on rollback see: Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback in the future, just let me or any admin know. Cheers.

Hispanic and Latino American Politics

I am a new Wikipedian and just added to the page Hispanic and Latino American Politics. I would appreciate any comments, tips, and edits to make this page better. Thank you for your help! Thisonewins (talk) 03:29, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

AIV

Your AIV report against User:Leroy e. brown has been declined. His edits are not vandalism--see WP:VANDAL. It looks to me like the two of you are having a dispute about which citations to use. Instead of edit warring, go to the article's talk page and discuss it. I note that neither of you have discussed it outside of edit summaries. If you don't stop, you might both be blocked for edit warring. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:43, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

1st School of Public Health

Dear Leroy e. brown, if it means that much to you please feel free to cite Tulane as the 1st school of public despite the Hopkins article citing at least 7-8 independent references to counter your claim (prior to your removal of references) and substantiate JHSPH being the 1st. This "editing war of attrition" is not worth my time. Hope this offers you some comfort and solace. Be well!TennisGrandSlam (talk) 04:02, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

If it is not worth your time, then why have you gone to great lengths to change Tulane's website and revert the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg SPH page so many times? Why have you reported me as a vandal, if you are not interested in war? Clearly this is worth a great deal of your time! Anyway, know that your request for my being designated as such was denied, and that I have never removed any references. There are several people from all over the world who have written on this discussion page with regard to the false information you are so vehemently representing. And, yes, the facts do mean a great deal to me. I have been in this business since 1963, and I have no intention of quitting. People like you and Walter Wiggins must be subdued. Please govern yourself accordingly.

Leroy E. Brown (talk) 04:39, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

I find your reaction and comments rather amusing; you clearly have not read the references in the article which are a lot older than the reference you cite which state that Hopkins is the oldest school of public health. Clearly this is a matter near and dear to your heart to which you have attached so much of your own ego to, so like I said I will let you be, your aberrant "encyclopedia browned" resources and flawed "investigational" skills not withstanding -- my gift to you. :) Cheers! TennisGrandSlam (talk) 16:54, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Once again, you are back to devote more of your time to the topic! The truth is near and dear to my heart, yes. If it makes you feel better to consider the truth your gift, then I gladly accept it on behalf of all of the people who have objected to your tirade of puffery. Leroy E. Brown (talk) 22:03, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

JHU Template

Your version of the JHU template from 2009 looks nice. A few too many blues, but still very nice to look at. Have you seen it lately? We need to do something about this. JamaUtil (talk) 03:27, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
