Hi there. The link at the bottom of the article provides the required evidence for the mirror test. I will reinsert it as a reference instead of further reading. Additionally, the study in question was on magpies I believe, which are still Corvids. God bless, [[User:Myrobi|Myrobi]] 12:58, 1 March 2010 (EST) | Hi there.

Blocked?
I really don't understand why you blocked me for "last wordism." Is that basically a way to prevent further discussion as to result in not moving the article, as you favor? Or, if it really was for last wordism, I'm not the only one who's guilty of such.
It's not like great reasons were given for having Obama's middle name in the article title, anyway. All the reasoning I've read so far for having Obama's middle name in the article:
- Obama tries to soft-peddle his Muslim roots, so let's bring attention to that fact
- Something about Hussein bin Ali and 700 years
- Obama likes change, so let's move away from tradition (?)
- There's a big difference between Hussein and Jefferson, which, quite honestly...so?
- He was inaugurated with the name (but so were many other presidents)
I don't see anything on how his name should be formatted differently, leaving a "hole" in the argument as DerikJ pointed out.
On a sidenote, why 497 minutes? Seems like an odd number.
Don't expect me to reply here; I wouldn't want to be blocked for "last wordism" again. But I probably will be for "trouble making." Kayvan 19:23, 28 February 2010 (EST)
- Noticing this post of yours, I think you are correct, Kayvan. Your mistake, in case you want to know, was belaboring the point and declaring your intent on your user page. Godspeed to you! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 20:16, 28 February 2010 (EST)
