::Thanks for letting me know. In the case of the second one, you are referring to an AfD without a single keep vote, and which resulted in the article being redirected to a now-deleted article. That seems like a silly basis for not allowing prod, since it was all but deleted in the AfD. [[User:Dominic|Dominic]]·[[User talk:Dominic|t]] 07:50, 10 March 2011 (UTC) |

I just posted a note at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Rangeblock review|WP:AN]] about a rangeblock from back in 2006. [[User:Mangojuice|Mangojuice]] changed the block setting shortly after ypou applied the block so I mistakenly thoght Mangojuice was the original Admin. Would you mind commenting on it? Thanks in advance. [[Special:Contributions/64.40.62.149|64.40.62.149]] ([[User talk:64.40.62.149|talk]]) 22:31, 19 March 2011 (UTC) |

Hi Dominic,
I'm not sure if you regularly check the email address you used for the AUSC mailing list, but I emailed you on Jan 23 and don't seem have received a reply.
Can you check and reply? Thanks, –xenotalk 23:08, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I've gradually stopped paying close attention to non-mailing list personal mail to the Wikipedia email account, since I hardly have any anymore. I'm replying now. Dominic·t
Just in case you aren't watching - i've un-prod-ed it, please AFD it instead. I personally have no particular plan to object there. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:53, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
topic for public policy
Hi Dominic, I am starting to work on my public policy project and was thinking of doing a piece on airport screening and pat downs. There is already information on this subject on Wikipedia. Can I still do a research paper on that topic or maybe you could suggest a subtopic for me. Thanks. DeniseDabenson (talk) 19:45, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- I think you are going to have a hard time if you are looking at working specifically on the recent controversy. You might encounter problems in scope (because it is recent and ongoing, the amount of news sources are effectively endless) and stability (because it's a high-profile topic, you might find others editing your article, and it might be a topic more prone to disagreement). What I think you should really look for are concrete topics with a definite scope lacking existing coverage on Wikipedia. And remember, this is a real encyclopedia as well as an assignment, so duplication doesn't help anyone.
- You'll probably want to do some general searches for related articles that need improvement; you might also start at some of the more general topic articles like airport security, Transportation Security Administration, and air safety looking for links to other articles that are either red links (non-existent) or short articles. You'll also want to look in categories for more short articles. At the bottom of each article page, you'll see links to various categories which can be used for searching. One good way to use categories is to find the "stub" categories on short articles, which will lead you to related articles of short length (I found Category:United States federal legislation stubs, Category:United States government stubs, and Category:Aviation stubs this way.) When you find an article that looks promising, do a cursory search for sources to see if you will be able to write at length on the topic. To demonstrate, I have listed of the articles I found in a quick search using these techniques below, but you'll have a better idea of what interests you and can probably search better on your own.

Hi Dominic, thanks you have been very helpful. I'll look into the information you sent me and hopefully can narrow down a topic for our next meeting.Dabenson (talk) 21:41, 9 February 2011 (UTC)denise

I've transformed it from the shoddy stub you prodded for "BLP1E". Do have a quick Google before you prod articles! Fences&Windows 00:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks
thanks for your welcome message Dominic & the links. I found an issue with one of the edits I'd made before reading the tutorial so have fixed it now. thanks again! Kathodonnell (talk) 12:14, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Ragsdale
You have two unsourced paragraphs in the NAACP section. You will have to fix them before I can approve the article. Gatoclass (talk) 08:51, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I promoted the hook. It had the advantage of giving me an excuse to get another very ordinary hook out of the update, which I was thinking about removing anyhow :) Gatoclass (talk) 09:26, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Very Important Person and Don't have a cow
I removed the prod tag you placed on Very Important Person, as per policy an article that has been discussed at AfD is permanently ineligible for deletion via prod. Compliance with policy is the only reason I did this, I have no comment one way or the other on the merits of deletion, and you are welcome to open another AfD. —KuyaBriBriTalk 16:41, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- Same goes for Don't have a cow. —KuyaBriBriTalk 16:44, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
