Can you please provide some references regarding impact related sentences in the article Future timeline of Earth. It would be good if you come in that article for collaborative edit. Thanks. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 06:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your comment in the deletion discussion. I think the article will not survive the AfD. And most of the delete votes are based on complete illiteracy on Future studies. The conservatives, corporate-industrial-nexus, cannot tolerate anything about global warming, climate change, population growth, future of Earth. And lack of interest and knowledge in astronomy. Anyhow I have moved the information in User:Otolemur crassicaudatus/Sandbox. And will shortly join in the article Risks to civilization, humans and planet Earth. I will likely to divide the section "Earth" and "Humanity" in different subsections and more info on "Space". Some good references are needed on the runaway greenhouse effect and more info on meteorite impact. Thanks. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello AstroHurricane, I have granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

- You're welcome. :) Good luck. Acalamari 17:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I wish to nominated the article Orion (constellation) to be semi-protected because of the extreme number of anonymous vandals editing that article. Considering it's a high profile article, an article children would be likely to look up, the detrimental effects of the vandalism to how Wikipedia looks as a whole, and the proportion that most edits are vandalism and reversions, I think semi-protection against anonymous users would be appropriate. Since the process requires a consensus on the article's talk page and you are one of the registered users who have reverted vandalism recently, I am writing in the hopes that you will go to the talk page and agree to the semi-protection. If we can get a convincing consensus, we can continue the process to the next step. Thanks for your time. --Bark (talk) 15:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I added a few sentences under your question about pronunciation of hockey in French. Since it's been a few days since you asked, I just thought I might let you know in case you didn't watch it anymore. — Kpalion(talk) 19:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
