Alexander II of Russia edit

Hey, I think maybe there's been some misunderstanding. I don't think the box is a bad idea at all, I just think it needs to be cleaned up a bit. I also think it would be great if it was created as a template so its like all the other Royal Line boxes in the other articles like you pointed out. I noticed that you haven't been around Wikipedia long (under think account name at least), so if there's anything I can do to help with the format or explaining how to make it a template, just drop me a line. Thanks! .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 08:09, 1 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Just want to add that I made a slightlymore detailed comment along the same same lines at Talk:Alexander II of Russia. I'm willing to help with fixing the code and all too, If you want me to. Circeus 02:05, 3 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Moving pages edit

Please never ever move articles without discussion first. Such moves are very ill-advised no matter how certain you are about how good are they, except very few non-controversial cases. Your move of the Russian empress article may spark fire. In any case, please do not ever do it. --Irpen 23:57, 6 November 2006 (UTC)Reply


Please take Irpen's warning very seriously. That is unacceptable before the consensus is reached. I could block you for disruption in not Irpen arguing that the moves were in good faith and the consensus is almost reached. Please be careful next time, there is no harm in waiting a few more hours for the move but a lot of disruption if the consensus goes the other way and you have to move everything back. Alex Bakharev 03:43, 10 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

James, I have reverted your move of Mary I of Scotland. This is a controversial page and you did not follow the correct procedure of requesting the move and waiting for consensus. Please don't do anything like this again. Deb 10:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Moving Estrogen edit

Hi James. Unfortunately, I had to move the page back from Oestrogen for a number of reasons; 1) Estrogen is the more common spelling, esp. in medical literature (Oestrogen is the British spelling, it's also my native spelling of it), 2) there were already redirect pages from Oestrogen already, 3) ummm - you forgot to also move the talk page, 4) it broke a gazillion links which directly point to Estrogen (see here and 5) you should never unilaterally move a page like that without discussing it on the article's talk page first. It can cause a lot of mess, which can require an administrator to fix (this one did). I notice others have warned you about this before. Anyways - if you've any questions, just leave a note on my talk page - Alison 08:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

NZ election edit

Hi, I've noticed you've updated a couple of pages to reflect the result of the New Zealand election. You might be interested in joining the Election 2008 taskforce, which aims to co-ordinate all the updates in order to get everything done and in a timely manner. --Helenalex (talk) 06:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Romanov coat of arms.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Romanov coat of arms.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

Proposed deletion of File:Russian crown.jpg edit

 

The file File:Russian crown.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
