== Why have I been blocked? ==

Why I am still blocked.

I sent a long email to Ryulong 24 hours or more ago asking for some information why I was blocked from editing, and I have still received no reasoning why I have been blocked.

Will ANY administrator reading this please rescind this blocking straight away, and without any further delay - I am now very annoyed that no-one has bothered to have the courtesy to inform me why this nonsensical action was taken in the first place!!

== Thank You Netsnipe! ==

Thank you Netsnipe for unblocking me - I am still annoyed that Ryuolong or whoever else was involved in blocking me cannot be bothered to explain why they wasted my time in the first place, and give a small - needed - apology![[User:Mwmonk|Mwmonk]] 13:52, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

:86.145.60.53 appears to be a dynamic IP address. As you can see from {{ipvandal|86.145.60.53}}, it was previously used for vandalism in May 2007 and may have belonged to a compromised host at that time. -- <small><span style="border: 1px solid">[[User:Netsnipe|'''<span style="background-color:White; color:#003333"> &nbsp;Netsnipe&nbsp;</span>''']][[User talk:Netsnipe|<span style="background-color:#003333; color:White">&nbsp;►&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small> 15:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Brian Hooper]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Brian Hooper]] has been [[WP:BLPPROD|proposed for deletion]] because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created '''[[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]]''' must have at least one reference to a [[WP:V#Sources|reliable source]] that directly supports material in the article. &#32; The nominator also raised the following concern:
:<b>All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.</b>

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see [[Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners|Referencing for beginners]], or ask at the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|help desk]]. Once you have provided at least one [[WP:V#Sources|reliable source]], you may remove the {{tl|prod blp}} tag. '''Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.''' If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can {{#ifexist:Brian Hooper|request that it be undeleted|[[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request that it be undeleted]]}} when you are ready to add one.<!-- Template:ProdwarningBLP --> <span style="background:#CC1010;color:#FFA0A0">'''&nbsp;Blanchardb'''&nbsp;</span>-<sup><span style="color:#A62428">[[User:Blanchardb|Me]]•[[User Talk:Blanchardb|MyEars]]•[[Special:Contributions/Blanchardb|MyMouth]]</span></sup>- timed 23:30, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

== [[Andy Ripley]] ==

Just wondering whether you are planning to cite some sources for your recent addition to this article. If not then I am afraid it will have to be removed. Please take a look at [[WP:RS]] and [[WP:CITE]]. Thanks.

:Yes, I am sourcing as I go along.  I am adding the table and information first, then adding sources all at the same time.  A lot of these results come from the same sources so it is easier to cut and paste them all at once.  I can add them here first if you are anxious.  All the information is easily checkable online. [[User:Mwmonk|Mwmonk]] ([[User talk:Mwmonk#top|talk]]) 20:10, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

:This is now done.  As I research other sources and expand this section I will of course reference throughout. [[User:Mwmonk|Mwmonk]] ([[User talk:Mwmonk#top|talk]]) 20:23, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.
