Charlton award thingy

edit

Hi there. As you are a Charlton fan I was wondering if you'd like to contribute to the Scott Carson peer review, which is still open for comments. Myself and Malcolmxl5 have been working on getting the article towards Good Article standard. One question I have surrounds the end of season award won by Carson. This article on the official Charlton website says that the award is called the "Charlton Athletic Supporters' Club player of the year" award (as opposed to the "...fans" award), and I have referred to it accordingly in the Scott Carson article. If this is indeed correct are you happy if I apply the same correction to the succession boxes of Matt Holland, Darren Bent, Dean Kiely et al? I think it needs to be correct and consistent, that's all. Cheers. --Jameboy (talk) 20:41, 7 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have removed your IBPE due to concerns with your account, namely the vandalism, which is very recent and that even if it was another user if you are permanently back in control of your account. Once you demonstrate that, I might reinstate it. If it was you, then IBPE is not justifiable for someone who vandalizes. Hopefully, it was you inadvertently leaving your computer open and you can soon prove by no further vandalism that this will not happen again. RlevseTalk 00:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Michał Kamiński

edit

Can I direct you to this article's discussion page. It appears that the cite Chumchum7 brought up did not say what he claimed it said. It was not a US official denying the quotes made in the New Statesman article, but a US official denying 'questions had been asked' in an entirely separate State Department/Home Office meeting. The article also states the UK officials said that those questions had been asked.

I'm giving Chumchum7 the benefit of the doubt, and assuming he did not fully read the article he cited. --Barberio (talk) 15:16, 18 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of John Rentoul (journalist)

edit
 

A tag has been placed on John Rentoul (journalist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ~YellowFives 01:44, 2 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

edit

In this edit to Peter Robinson (politician), you used the following edit summary "removing POV statements".

That sounds great ... except that it is not what you did.

What you actually did was to remove the {{Fact}} tags on 3 unreferenced statements about Robinson's views, and add some unreferenced commentary of your own.

I have reverted your edit. Please do not remove {{fact}} tags on unreferenced material (unless you have added the references have been added), and please do not use misleading edit summaries. Sneaky edits are not a good idea. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:35, 30 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

A Brief History of Crime

edit

Hi there SE7 -- thanks for your work on A Brief History of Crime, I've just tried to expand and improve it further. Let's discuss any outstanding issues on the discussions page. I hope that together we can create a good Wikipedia article on this subject. The next outstanding issue to me seems to be the synopsis. Best, Jprw (talk) 08:48, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

In answer to your questions about 'Brief History' the book was definitely published in 2003, the confusion probably being caused by its retitling and republication as 'Abolition of Liberty in 2004. As for the reviews, I recall the New Statesman being reasonably fair. Bryan Appleyard's review was in the 'Sunday Times' not 'The Times'. I'll see what other mentions I can find. The fact that two chapters are missing from 'Abolition of Liberty' seems to me to be worth men tioning. I deliberately withdrew them (on the death penalty and gun laws) becuase of the absurd ad hominem David Rose review (for which he has since personally apologised to me) which convinced me that some subjects simply could not be rationally discussed in the current intellectual climate, and the threat to liberty was so important that I felt it better to sacrifice them. Peter Hitchens, logged in as Clockback (talk) 13:36, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi again SE7. Unfortunately I don't have a hard copy of A Brief History of Crime so currently am not in a position to write a synopsis -- I should have explained better. Perhaps you might like to have a go yourself? Jprw (talk) 17:46, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

McCain redirects

edit

Hi. I declined your speedies of John Sydney McCain 3 and John Sydney McCain III. Personally I disagree that they're probably unlikely typos, but more importantly R3 applies only to "recently created" redirects - which neither of these was - and "does not apply to articles and stubs that have been converted into redirects". If you still think they need deletion I suggest taking them to WP:RfD. Cheers, Olaf Davis (talk) 13:39, 23 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

You are now a Reviewer

edit
 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:38, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I still do not see how it make it make Wikipedia more user friendly to alter Henry VIII to Henry VIII and how is Henry VIII a "consecutive redirect" (a term that means nothing to me). One major reason for leaving redirects in place is that we have a phrase in the Article titles policy that says "Using names and terms that readers are most likely to look for in order to find the article (and to which editors will most naturally link from other articles)." It may turn out in the future that as there is no need to use a country dab extension on "Henry VIII" that in the future there is a discussion on whether to move the article from "Henry VIII of England" to "Henry VIII" because if fulfils the criteria "to which editors will most naturally link from other articles". Altering all the links from Henry VIII to Henry VIII hides that from the "What links here" survey. -- PBS (talk) 12:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of ConservativeHomeUSA

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on ConservativeHomeUSA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —KuyaBriBriTalk 20:19, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

edit

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
