DALY edit

I found the article you just made (Disability-adjusted_life_year), do you mind if I make a big edit? I reworded a lot, changed typos, and added a couple external links. Also, does the page title really need a hyphen in it? -Mulder416 23:54, 20 February 2006 (UTC)Reply


Blaketashi Dervishes edit

Do you have any references for your article on the Blaketashi Darwishes other than the website www.blaketashi.com? Very interesting site, and topic, but it seems clearly intended as humor. If it is such, that should be mentioned in the Wikipedia article, or the article's just part of the website hoax. The site's funny as hell, by the way.

I'm asking this here in order to avoid cluttering up the Blaketashi Darwishes article and its talk page if I turn out to be so horribly, horribly wrong. Thanks. -- Epimetreus 21:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Larry Gossett edit

You state that Larry Gossett is a former Black Panther. While he was certainly close to the Panthers in their heyday, and has spoken of them with respect, I don't think he ever was an actual party member. His political opponents have often said so, but that's hardly an objective source. Do you have a solid citation for this? - Jmabel | Talk 05:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
