John A. Fraser (businessman)

For a start biographies are written in chronological order, not the reverse and should have references to independent sources. Please place comments at bottom of talk/user talk pages.--Grahame (talk) 11:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

A mess regarding "Robert Wolf"

I have moved the (UBS AG) person to (American businessmen). The current Robert Wolf needs to be moved back to (writer). The page "Robert Wolf" needs to be a disambiguation page that lists all the Robert Wolf's and Robert Wolfe's. The Robert Wolfe's need to be separated properly. The Robert Wolfe page should then redirect to Robert Wolf (or vice versa) and the 2 pages called "Robert Wolfe (disambiguation)" and "Robert Wolf (disambiguation)" both need to be deleted. -t BMW c- 19:32, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

That's cool, yes, there was a mess there - something I've been meaning to sort. Much appreciated.Catrandall (talk) 10:38, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

ITN for UBS AG

On 19 February, 2009, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article UBS AG, which you substantially updated. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the In the news candidates page.

{{unblock|1=I have not been told why I got blocked. I have no talk page message from Nishkid explaining what's going on, who blocked me. I cannot see what I could have done to be blocked as all I do is work on my banking pages for my studies and add any bits of trivia I see for things I am interested in. This block seems like maybe it's a political block? I am confused - I thought I had been doing good work, dealing with vandalism and the like - please let me know}}

You're not blocked personally. You've probably been caught in an autoblock. Clearing an autoblock

Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. Please follow these instructions:

1. If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
   Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
   If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
2. Try to edit the Sandbox.
3. If you are still blocked, copy the {{unblock-ip|...}} code generated for you under the "IP blocked?" section. This is usually hidden within the "What do I do now?" section. If so, just click the "[show]" link to the right hand side to show this text.
4. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing. ➲ redvers ^{see my arsenal} 10:06, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
