Sorry about the mistake with your name. One of the lead characters in "The Producers" (the Gene Wilder character in the 1968 film) is named Leo Bloom, and I jumped to the conclusion that you were taking off on that character. Again, sorry for the error.
Regarding your explanation of the "puff piece" thing, I think I see what you mean. I just read the link you gave me about conflicts of interest, and I certainly want to let you know up front what my connection to this article is (i.e., why I wrote it), because I admire and frequently use Wikipedia, and I don't want to break or bend any of the rules. I have a friend who is a friend (a "friend of a friend"?) of Don Nardo. I met Mr. Nardo once briefly many years ago (through the mutual friend) and have been following his career ever since, including reading many of his books, attending concerts of his music, watching films he's written, etc. Because I don't know him very well, my intent was not to promote him or his work particularly. Rather, a couple of years ago I asked the mutual friend why Mr. Nardo was not in Wikipedia, since I've seen numerous less accomplished individuals with Wikipedia articles. He did not know. So I suggested a few times that he (the friend) should write one. He never got around to it, so I decided to do it myself. As I said in an earlier post, I greatly admire his work, so probably that is why the article portrays him in a very positive light. I will most gladly step aside and let someone else handle the article is you feel this disqualifies me. Or if you feel that the article, as it stands, should be deleted because it does meet the correct standards, I will also completely understand. There will be no hard feelings. I will leave the article alone until you get back to me. Thanks again for all your help. Best, Ed. -- Edthehistroybuff ( talk) 22:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

can u fix it back cause i took time to write tht. its not vandalism. i admit it isnt the most popular book but it is still important Pinole101 ( talk) 03:42, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
I don't know, I added the 'WikiSloth' template to my user page because my interest seems to wax and wane. For whatever reason I just don't seem to feel much motivation to work on Sheppard lately. I'm also not sure how to organise it since his 'other activities' intertwine with the atrocities part.
Maybe I need to take a look at that other book (or even King Leopold's Ghost) and stop trying to imitate the narrative structure of the Kennedy biography, which is a bad habit I got into when I was working on Ota Benga.
On the positive side I nominated Ostend Manifesto (with considerable expansion!) for GA in case you didn't see that. And I reverted it to the non-harvard style because it was just too much trouble. I've also been looking at Pickelhaube for whatever reason. Need something that can grab my attention and utterly absorb me the way the Chinese characters did.

Hello Leonard^Bloom, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I contested the speedy deletion of Qari Mohammad Ibrahim Mir Mohammadi - a page you tagged - because: The article makes a credible assertion of notability, sufficient to pass A7. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. NW ( Talk) 22:04, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
I've deleted your AFD on Dub-core; a discussion already exists here. It looks like three people nominated it simultaneously. – iride scent 22:20, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for making the report. I've ammended my comments on the SPI so that they'll hopefully be more clear. I'm not sure what's up, but it seems like it wasn't an abusive case of using multiple accounts, although it's clear that multiple accounts were used.

Heya dude, yep that's fine. I was actually waiting for someone to change the template. I'm not that big into changing templates myself, I just wanted to make the template seem "fuller" but yes you can feel free to change it if you wish. Thank you. mÆniac Ask! 01:21, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
I have continued to work on the list of skin-related conditions, and recently nominated it for FL status. If available, your comments would be greatly appreciated at the nomination page. Regardless, thank you again for your work on wikipedia. --- kilbad ( talk) 17:09, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, you tagged the article under vandalism, which is valid, but the right criteria is G10. It blanks the page since it is a legal threat. Zoo Fari 21:18, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello Leonard^Bloom, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have deleted a page you tagged ( Charles Hong) under a different criteria, because the one you provided was inappropriate or incorrect. CSD criteria are narrow and specific, and the process is more effective if the correct deletion rationale is supplied. Consider reviewing the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any queries, please let me know. Thanks again! decltype ( talk) 14:19, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi, after some research I managed to find quite a number of sources of which the main subject is
Kim Sears. So after bring the article up to scratch (I agree that we shouldn't have kept it as it was before), I've removed the speedy deletion template. As I believe she meets both
WP:CSD#A7 and
WP:BIO, hopefully you'll agree with me, but if not feel free to
AfD (don't bother with a
prod). Thanks for your work in
WP:NPP, I often see you around, and your work is very good

I need help to accomplish a page for the band "Vogue In The Movement". You could search them down and write in valid information and data. They are a significant band and will gain more fame as time goes on.

In your rfa you stated:
A very specific interest of mine is in the requests for renamed media, an area I dare say I've found myself stricken with a need to help there. It's a niche, and I wish to fill it. New image patrol is also an interest, but something I've only recently gotten into and lack a large amount of experience in.
It appears that less than 1% of your edits are to the File namespace. If you pass your RFA, I suggest you get more experience dealing with files before deleting any.-- Rockfang ( talk) 17:41, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
