I am on a Wikibreak until after the July 26-27 bar exam - I will check in from time to time to be sure that nothing drastic requires my attention, but otherwise I will be devoting my time to studying the law of the land. Cheers! -- BDAbramson talk 01:41, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)
Time to study
Take a break and go study civil procedure! Wikipedia can wait. Good luck on the bar exam. DS1953 21:21, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Cricket matches
I'd be grateful if you'd remove the cricket matches you are listing on VfD from VfD. They are part of a series of articles covering the whole of the 2005 English cricket season (look on this page to see what the Cricket WikiProject is doing). Clearly it is inappropriate to miss out some games (and equally clearly inappropriate to delete the whole project). Kind regards, jguk 28 June 2005 21:42 (UTC)
- What you are suggesting would entail the deletion of many many articles representing days and days of hard work by a small group of editors (mostly Sam and myself). Before embarking on the project, I considered carefully how best to present the information and chose what is the easiest and most straightforward way. I don't really see the problem in keeping them anyway - Wikipedia is not paper - we already have articles on every single Star Trek episode and many individual episodes of other matches. Kind regards, jguk 28 June 2005 21:57 (UTC)
- All the games are championship games: they are first-class, List A and official Twenty20 matches. What you are proposing is effectively the deletion of all of our somewhat extensive coverage of the 2005 English cricket season. It's not a few paragraphs that took 10 or 15 minutes to write - it is literally days and days of work. That is not reasonable, jguk 28 June 2005 22:19 (UTC)
Many thanks for the invitation to work on the human rights article
... and I hope Godwilling to get to it soon. BrandonYusufToropov 29 June 2005 20:49 (UTC)
Note from Christopher Capozzoli
My two varsity awards this year are very notable. Where are your varsity awards?

- You're welcome to start a user account and put your bio on your user page, but we simply can't give an article to every person on the planet who won some varsity awards - we're writing an encyclopedia here, and we have guidelines for biographical articles (see WP:BIO). Concededly, the only athletic honor I ever merited was a swimming medal in junior high. However, I was student government president at one of the largest universities in the country, I have artwork in the collection of a significant public museum, was a founding member of the law school that was opened there, and graduated second in my class from that law school - and I am quite certain that I do not merit an article. -- BDAbramson talk June 30, 2005 00:27 (UTC)
Note from James Johnson
You asked about the American Moderation Party. I founded it, and the website for more information can be found here:
http://www.geocities.com/moderationparty/AMP.htm
Unfortunately, my article has been pegged for deletion. I tried to make it as unbiased and objective as possible. I would like to re-write it if it means I can keep the article up, because I would like to have people read about it without necessarily promoting it overtly.
I notice there are articles for the other major and third parties, so I see no objective reason why my article cannot remain.
But if you can offer some suggestions as to how to rewrite it, I am welcome to them. This is my first submission to Wikipedia. I am not trying to spam, but I do want to get the information out there.

Thanks in advance.
