Orphaned non-free media (Image:Joey Waronker crest.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Joey Waronker crest.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Reverts of influence additions

Thanks for reverts of the influences on the articles. This is maybe the fourth time this user has done exactly this, at least they're not adding cause of death again. I think the influences they added to the Jeff Buckley article prove that they're just picking names at random (Queen? Cheap Trick?). Maybe they're a library user and that's why the IP changes. I thought they would have got the point last time... (Dudesleeper's influences: Freddy Mercury, Long walks, Barbary apes, Sleeping.) Ugh! Thanks anyway. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 14:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Patrolling

Hello. I noticed today that you were doing newpages patrolling but are not marking some of the pages you visit as patrolled. Though this is not mandatory in any way, and should not be done for all newpages, where appropriate it keeps your fellow patrollers from wasting time reviewing the same page multiple times. In any event, keep up the good work! Thanks. Click23 (talk) 15:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Mark Hughes

Just a quick note on Mark Hughes. I've reverted your edit at List of English Football League managers by date of appointment because although I expect you're right, it doesn't seem the deal is 100% complete. It still appears Chelsea have hopes in convincing him to go there. I would believe the print media with a touch of salt. Peanut4 (talk) 02:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hughes signed as City boss

I've seen the rumours myself, but do you have a source for certain? I know the Sun and the Guardian are saying that is the case, but then those papers aren't always the most reliable sources, and I've seen them publish a lot of false stories, particularly about football, where much more is believable. Much as I don't want to, and much as I am happy to wait for tomorrow morning, when (I personally believe) the story will be confirmed, before doing anything about the edits you've made, if your edits are false then they'll need to be reverted, and a reliable source would prevent this. Falastur2 (talk) 02:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

There's no wikipolicy about doubting newspapers, but it's something you kinda get used to, if you read a lot of football gossip, anyway. Generally, reliable sources are the club's own website (obviously), the BBC website and a few others - Setanta and Sky both tend to only deliver confirmed news articles. The problem with the newspapers is that they need to sell as many papers as they can, so they will often print any story they hear in order to provide a selling point. Tabloids such as the Sun are particularly bad at this, and are widely believed to be the source of their own rumours - they make up stories in order to look like they have exclusives. I'm not saying you should lose all faith with newspapers' reliability, but generally in the case of football gossip, a story is only confirmed when the club itself publicly says it is confirmed. At that point, you can believe and as such cite newspaper articles, but before then there's always a mental question mark on reliability. Falastur2 (talk) 03:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Marlon Broomes

He signed for the 'Pool today. I've updated his article, but have left both the BFC article (though an anon IP user has addes him) and the squad template as he doesn't officially sign until 1st July. Not sure if that is right or not and whether he should be listed now? ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 14:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Aye, I had the in use tag on while I was updating the Marlon Broomes article and still someone edited. ggrrrrr. Don't know i you've heard but the latest is that Wes Hoolahan should be signing for Norwich this week, Kaspars Gorkss we're still struggling to keep hold of and even Stephen Crainey is being touted for a move to Burnley. And today Granada Reports reckoned that Leicester are about to make an official approach for Simon Grasyon. Help, all this on the back of being the bookies favourites along with Barnsley for relegation.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 01:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

The Khaki Years

The book is mostly prose, with some pages with pages listing two tables for each season, one with all that seasons results, scorers and attendances (where known though they do seem to be estitmates) and another table listing player appearances. I can if you like have a go at working on expanding the articles for the seasons which are 1915-16, 1916-17, 1917-18 and 1918-19 and also adding some content to the History of BFC article? ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 14:29, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I've done quite a bit on the 1915-16 season article, all of it sourced from The Khaki Years book. There is some more info in the book which refers back to the 1914-15 season and earlier which I can also use in those articles - including the club even for a short while being known as "The Lilywhites" (I'm sure that wouldn't be too popular given it's the PNE nickname!) and a full explanation of why the black, red and yellow kit was introduced etc. Would you, when you have the time, have a look over the 1915-16 article for any errors I have made? Thanks. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 17:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Ana Ivanovic

Thanks for your message about the Ana Ivanovic article. I do believe them when they say she will be number one tommorow, but I hate when Users jump the gun on such issues. Articles should not be written with future events addressed as past events. Many edits have been made on the article so I cannot keep up with it. By tommorow it will probally be a moot point anyway. But let me know if you ever have trouble with this again and I can help. NeuGye (talk) 01:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

The graph of doom

Hiya

If you right click on your existing graph, one of the options that appears should be "Source Data", which will open a new window. Within that window, choose the "Series" tab. In the box at the bottom labelled "Category (X) axis labels", click on the little coloured icon thingy at the far right hand side, which should collapse the window and allow you to select cells from the spreadsheet. Select the cells with the dates in, then click the coloured thingy again. The dates should then appear along the X axis. Hope this helps! ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

List of cemeteries

Hi Dudesleeper. In view of your efforts to maintain List of cemeteries, I did a search sort for cemetery articles not listed in List of cemeteries. I posted the results at User:Bebestbe/New cemeteries. Please feel free to add the cemeteries listed User:Bebestbe/New cemeteries to List of cemeteries.

Removing my comments from a third party's discussion page

Please do not remove my comments from a third party's discussion page, as you did here without providing any reason for doing so. Thanks. Tennis expert (talk) 21:27, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Annoying, isn't it? Hopefully you've realised your mistake by now. - Dudesleeper / Talk 21:32, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it was your mistake. "Do not strike out the comments of other editors without their permission." Don't do it again. Tennis expert (talk) 05:13, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

There was no striking-out of comments. It's easy to get excited when you find a guideline that you think might be useful to use on someone, but please read it first. - Dudesleeper / Talk 09:01, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, yes you did, as the previously provided diffs prove. Don't do it again. Tennis expert (talk) 13:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

This is striking out. - Dudesleeper / Talk 20:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I think i have updated all the information for the East Region (divisions, teams, templates). If you haven't already done it i'll have a crack at the North Region later on. Eddie6705 (talk) 11:19, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

R.E.M.

I undid you latest revert because in my edit before that I removed the part that's been creating contention instead of it having been miscited. Sure, Buckley may have meant "muezzin", but that's not what he wrote on the page cited, and changing it to say "muezzin" wouldn't fly under Wiki verifiability guidelines. Better to remove something contentious than rephrase it to be contentious in a different way. Plus I'd been thinking for a while that the bit Stipe's "keening" vocals was the more important part to mention in the article.

On a semi-related note, are you familair with this new CD called The Baseball Project? It has Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, Steve Wynn, and Linda Pitmon writing songs about baseball players. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:00, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

John Leslie (television presenter)

Hi, I was expecting a lot of vandalism on this one after he was involved in another rape allegation. Do you think it would be worth asking for semi-protection, say for 2 weeks? Cheers, Nk.sheridan   Talk 23:17, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Geordie Anderson

Hi - thanks for the note. It wasn't one of my better efforts, I agree. To be honest I can't remember why I added the Blackburn info into the article - he doesn't fit any of the categories I normally write about, nor did he achieve much of note at Blackburn. He wasn't on my "watchlist" either. Give me a few days to finish what I'm currently working on and I'll endeavour to re-work it and add in a few more details. Ultimately, of course, a great part of WP's content is plagiarized to some extent (as "Original Research" is not permitted) although it's usually less obvious! Cheers. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 04:39, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Geordie Anderson

Hi - I've now tweaked the article to take it away from the Spartacus article, removing a lot of irrelevant information.

Whilst I'm here, could I ask you to look at the article I created on George Beare who spent two years at Blackpool. I came across him while researching for the article on Bert Freeman (who played alongside Anderson), and as Beare was born within a mile of my home and started his career at Southampton, I had to put something together on his life. Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thomas Daley (diver)

I don't understand. A "common contraction" is one of the definitions of a nickname. Even wikipedia agrees on that in nickname. "Tom" is a nickname for Thomas. Like "Jenny" is a nickname for Jennifer. It doesn't mean that no body is ever named Tom or Jenny, but that if someone is named Thomas and goes by Tom, Tom is his nickname. 141.151.160.87 (talk) 04:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Right, but in terms of the swimmer infobox, the nickname field should be filled with the common nickname(s) that the media or fans have given the person (see Pieter van den Hoogenband's or Michael Phelps' articles). The field description, given in the infobox link, is The swimmer's common nickname in italics. If there is more than one, list each name alphabetically and separate them by commas. - Dudesleeper / Talk 19:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Bill Bailey

Will you check that talk page? I left a message there about your revert of an IP's edit. The IP was wrong about using a forum as a source, but not about the other source.

What I neglected to mention on that talk page, though, is that Bill Bailey's blog is already used as a source in the lead of this article.

I'll get back to you when I can if you reply. Flyer22 (talk) 06:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Dudesleeper, you reverted (here) my edit on James Wilson (House). Was that because the Youtube video violated copyright as I suspected it might? Or was there some other reason? Deamon138 (talk) 15:50, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

messy edits (?)

mmmmmm....messy edits. i will admit my vocabulary and sentence structure may not be brillant, but i do find it a bit unfair you had to reserve all my work back to what it was before i came here. i was only trying to help and also making sure that the article looks neater by incorporating smaller sections to make larger ones such as culture and having a pictures section (which i started and decided to remove on the Kirkcaldy article) was a waste of space, in my opinion. i would also not like you having control over my edits if you don't mind or otherwise i will feel i have no right to be here. i will however accept that i do need to watch my edits, so thank you for bringing this point up. but i'm going to reserve your edit anyway and go back to the way the article was after my edit because it will never get anyway in it's current state. this article is much better than Kirkcaldy and you should aim towards GA status but you will never achieve that if you ignore other people's contributions. like me with Kirkcaldy, i think you are getting a bit too attached to Perth and i've seen you hang round this page a lot. please have a bit of respect.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

i have been pending starting up a new History of Perth page which will (hopefully) clear up space on the Perth article. but will you support me doing this although it would mean having to find (if you can) some more references. i'm sure you might have a book or two on Perth Kilnburn (talk) 23:11, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

BFC Centre of Excellence

The Centre of Excellence now have their own website and have teams from Under-9 right up to Under-16. Two teams entered the Shrewsbury International Tournament in the summer and both reached their age group finals with one winning. They have also two Development Centres, one in Lytham and one in Preston (!!) and also are trying to get "partner clubs" mostly locally, but the first is Union Mills on the Isle of Man who apparently have a big junior set up. I was thinking that perhaps there should be some info about this now on the BFC article, if you agree, do you think it shoudl go under a heading of "Centre of Excellence"? And where would it be best placed? Thank you. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 17:02, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Phillip Schofield

Phillip Schofield Online link - I have readded the link for two reasons.

1) It isn't just a fan site, Phillip is very much involved in the site and it is the original site, the new official site isn't even up yet and is in connection with us. Phillip will continue to be part of this site, he posts on the forum and emails us info and news etc and takes parts in interviews so it is a very useful link and he would want the link to remain here along with his agents.

2) Half the content of this wikipedia page has been TAKEN from our site! Give us a bit of credit!!!!

Please leave it there!

Thanks

Hello. You have recently given me a comment on my page. I do not know where your attitude comes from and frankly I think you are very rude to have commented the way you did. I do not see where you get the idea that I am a spammer, I was simply adding an external link to that website as it applied to the subject. If you took the time to look, there are other wikipedia pages that have the same external links yet they are not considered spam. You seriously need to calm down.--Brad M. (talk) 23:07, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Are you a spammer now then? And none of the text was my own (it was a template), so you're asking the wrong person to calm down. - Dudesleeper / Talk 18:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

How am I a spammer now? Because I want to open a discussion on this page about the issue at hand? What text are you talking about? You really do need to calm down now because you don't seem to be making sense. BTW, once you've calmed down, you may want to give a reason why you repeatedly take down that website, despite the fact that it is not spam.--Brad M. (talk) 21:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

BTW, what was the point of the Forbes link? Was that simply a stupid way on your part to threaten me?--Brad M. (talk) 21:24, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Again, not... my... template. You're a spammer because you're pasting the same URL into the external links sections of multiple articles despite requests from several people not to do so. - Dudesleeper / Talk 23:12, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I have stated repeatedly that I was open to a discussion. I told you why I pasted that particular site, it is not my problem if you willingly refuse to reason. The "requests" are a lousy excuse, as logically even I can use that to prevent you from doing any edit if I please. Again, why Forbes?--Brad M. (talk) 02:02, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Joe Smith

Was wondering if you had any objection to me moving Joe Smith (footballer) to Joe Smith (footballer born 1889), now that Joe Smith (footballer born 1890) has been created. Both are notable in their own way, being England internationals, and although 1889 Joe Smith probably edges it, I don't see him as being sufficiently more notable so as to be considered the primary topic (though I could be wrong). Let me know your thoughts anyway. Also restored your talk page header just now btw. All the best. --Jameboy (talk) 17:53, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
