[edit] Thank you

I just wanted to thank you for the barnstar you left on my user talk page. The situation over at Talk:DSM cautionary statement was starting to seem a little tiresome and pointless, so I greatly appreciated your recognition. Incidentally, if you do agree with my position about that article, you may want to give your opinions on the talk page, although hopefully the situation will be resolved soon (fingers crossed). Thank you again for the kind compliments. Happy editing! –Sommers (Talk) 12:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] 2007 NBA Draft

Hi, I was wondering what your source was for the 8.4% number in the draft lottery section of 2007 NBA Draft. I've tried to cite it, but I couldn't find it through a quick Google News search. Thanks. --Ytny (talk) 12:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I'm actually not sure how to cite it. I mean, nobody's going to say 1+1=2 is original research, but this one isn't as simple. And I'm not sure who I'd ask. I think your math is right, so I'm just going to leave it as is, and we can worry about it if someone objects. Cheers. 19:21, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
On second thought, I think showing the math in the footnote inside <ref></ref> might be helpful. --Ytny (talk) 19:37, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A weird line I noticed

Hey man, I was looking at Opinion polling for the Democratic Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2008 and saw that you put in a line saying "The public is generally sampled by land-line telephone only," and I just wanted to ask how you determined that. Not trying to be combative, just curious. --JMurphy (talk) 21:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alicia Ross Article

Hi Dave, is it possible to cite the original news articles at all? Forums are normally to be avoided; while I don't doubt that the posts are straight copies of the original material, without any editorial oversight there's no guarantee. Anyway, I'll let you get on with it as you see fit! Marasmusine (talk) 14:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I love my new Barnstar of Liberty! Thanks --Neutralitytalk 19:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
