The "people" that Groves is discussing

When you write:

• "a lengthy quote bashing people unrelated to Ashton" and
• "long litanies of criticisms of other people than Ashton on Ashton's article"

...you are ignoring the fact that the "people" concerned are those whose testimonies are the sole subject, and main content of Ashton's book. So it is not at all surprising that Grove pays particular attention to them in his conclusion. Likewise this book is Ashton's sole prominent contribution on creationism (he has advanced no creationist concept of his own of any note), so it is hardly surprising that the article devotes some space to the conclusion of the lengthiest, most in-depth and most prominently-authored review of it.

Deletion review of Sharur (mythological weapon)

I have commented on this at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 June 24. Your article has not in fact been deleted but I can quite understand your worry that it had been or would be. As things stand at present it will be kept but someone might nominate it properly for deletion in future. Get in touch if you think I can be of help. I see you have been editing Ninurta and I do wonder whether the information on the weapon could be incorporated there rather than in a separate article. However, this is a matter of editorial choice and different people might legitimately have different views under Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Best wishes.

Thanks for the reply. When looking into things I found these references.[1][2][3][4] I have no background knowledge myself so I did not feel like adding any of this. I happen to have an encylopedia of mythology. It mentions Ninurta's weapon in passing but does not name it. Thincat (talk) 09:39, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eric Sanicola, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Singles (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Removal of AN/I report?

It's a bad idea to remove discussion from noticeboards. Could you explain why you removed Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Thibbs today? —C.Fred (talk) 03:33, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

• And then you went and did it again, in a way which made SineBot sign your signature to my comment. Easy rule: don't move other people's comments. Drmies (talk) 02:55, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
