Admiralty and Gazette

[edit]

I htink temporary rank should be there - RN stuff often appears only under initials, rather than full names, and for reasons best known to themselves the Admiralty often puts surname first. The process of converting the scanned image to text sometimes means that names get run together, so try searching on PrestonYoung for example. David Underdown (talk) 08:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my grandfather's "promotion" from probationary temporary chaplain to temporary chaplain RNVR was gazetted, so I don't see any particular reason why these promotions shouldn't have been. Sometimes the conversion of the scanned image to text just doesn't work very well though, which unfortunately means its impossible to track down stuff you know msut be there. I might be able to look him up in the Navy List for you which should give the dates of rank. David Underdown (talk) 13:39, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CSD

[edit]

I declined your CSD tag on Crouch-DeVries because the context is very clear - it states it is a mixture of two surnames. I agree it's not notable, and furthermore that it may even be a hoax, but the context is certainly clear. I've WP:PRODded the article. We can AfD it if necessary.  Frank  |  talk  16:55, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

David Murray

[edit]

I'm contesting your speedy deletion to David Murray (Liberal Democrat candidate), and have explained why on the talk page. Please can you explain clearly why you requested speedy deletion of this article? Minimac (talk) 15:03, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Charter College of Health and Massage Therapy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

School of uncertain notability; spam was deleted but it still has many issues, including zero references.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 23:33, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

[edit]

Thanks for the amend to the template on the Julian Bond page. I'm still new to the perl language and getting the hang of it. Your ref tables are very useful. Cheers Nitro-Burnin' Delaney 19:35, 19 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by NitroBurningDelaney (talkcontribs)

DYK for Edward Preston Young

[edit]
Updated DYK query On April 21, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Edward Preston Young, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Layla Moran

[edit]

Hi there,

I personally wouldn't object to an Afd or prod deletion. I think there is marginal notability but I don't really feel strongly one way or the other. However I believe your speedy-A7 is technically inappropriate, because there is a credible claim of significance in the article. As I'm sure you're aware, an article doesn't have to prove notability to be immune from A7 - it only has to make a credible claim of significance.

Please don't take my removal of your speedy tag personally, and if you think I'm (still) wrong about this and you put it back, I won't object further :)

Thparkth (talk) 20:17, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't realise there was a previous A7. I will self-revert. Thparkth (talk) 20:22, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stoke Streetcar

[edit]

Hello, thanks for the comments. I've expanded on the University Boulevard by giving it its own sub-section. As for the new Central Business District, the northern part will be bordered by Broad Street and Warner Street, while the southern part will cover the area currently occupied by Hinde Street car park. If you knew of now-demolished Unity House and the (somewhat pointless) park and ride, it is pretty much the area covered by those. I've added a link to the city council's booklet on the CBD as a reference for the article. Thanks again, Andrew (talk) 15:27, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lecutas J H Dey 22:50, 8 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lecutas (talkcontribs)

I really have no idea what you are talking about as a) you've not named an article and b) I don't possess a copy of the book mentioned so the chances of me using whole sections to insert in an article is reather small. As I have previously pointed out on your talk page, if you own a copyright and you think it has been violated you can remove the violating material yourself and just put a note in the edit summary.

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) 17:46, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for help on Battle of Kilometer 7 pix

[edit]

Thanks for helping on the tech issue. I'm on a computer where I can't see images at all, so honestly hadn't caught the photo issue. At this point I'm just trying to get stubs of all the Chaco War articles going, with the "expand Spanish" tag to let folks know there are reams of written text over at es.wiki. Unfortunately, most of them are derived from a dead-tree book, so hard to do any footnoting or expansion, but I figure just getting decent stubs up at least establishes some content tree. Thanks for the pic help! MatthewVanitas (talk) 12:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer it as an article on its own - if you check google hits etc. there's plenty of coverage of it, so I'll revert the redirect and add a little more content. Blest Withouten Match (talk) 14:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nthep . Thanks for the speedy deletion work you are doing! I did want to let you know, though, regarding Bloody GIR Easter Egg, that current consensus holds that it is bad practice to tag articles for speedy deletion as lacking context (CSD A1) or content (CSD A3) moments after creation, as users may be actively working on the article content. Ten to fifteen minutes is considered a good time to wait before tagging such articles under either of these criteria. Please note that before an appropriate waiting period is over, the articles should not be marked as patrolled, so that the wait does not result in the article escaping review at a later time. Nothing here is meant to apply to any other criterion; attack pages and copyright violations especially should be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

Importance ranking for WikiProject Lancashire and Cumbria

[edit]

Hi there, I noticed this edit of yours, and I was wondering if you could give me a quick run-down of how you assess articles for importance? I rarely use the importance ranking when I add wikiproject tags, but I started to when I noticed you assessing a few articles I have created recently and I thought I'd save you the trouble! So if you could give me an idea of how you decide the ranking, then I could add them accordingly. (Or if you prefer, I don't mind leaving them blank for you to assess.)--BelovedFreak 09:41, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

hi, it's based on what's at Wikipedia:WikiProject Lancashire and Cumbria#Importance scale so while most individual buildings regardless of use are low priority, the projetc attaches a higher importance for grade I or grade II* listed buildings, hence the reassessment for St Michaels because it's grade I. Thanks for all your efforts. Do you live in Blackpool or just have an interest in the town? NtheP (talk) 10:47, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that, and the link. I'm not too far away at the moment; quite interested in local history of all sorts of places in the UK, but I do have a particular fascination Blackpool. I'll assess any new ones per the project scale, but if there are any I'm not sure of, I'll leave them to you as you obviously have a good system going with the new article bot! Cheers, --BelovedFreak 14:36, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, if you've any queries just shout. I used to spend all my school holidays in Blackpool as my grandparents lived there so I was shipped off to them at every possible opportunity, so I know it in the off season as well as at it's gaudy "best". Now I live in Yorkshire but I do visit as often as I can. NtheP (talk) 14:59, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I will. I'd love, at some point, to do justice to Blackpool, but that may be a long way off yet as I keep getting sidetracked! I guess I'm just doing some of the background work with some related articles at the moment!--BelovedFreak 15:02, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Military bio tag

[edit]

I have been placing the tag on biographies of World War I flying aces.

Georgejdorner (talk) 14:37, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


When I discovered that the WP aviation tag was missing from a large number of aviation bios of World War I aces, I started tagging all of them as a means of drawing attention to them in hopes of attracting editors to develop them. I realize that some may be tagged on both article and talk pages, but better double tagging than no tagging.

Might you consider re-evaluating the article for speedy under CSD A7 - "No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content)? Just a thought. Keristrasza (talk) 11:31, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I toyed with either, no links except to a unlaunched website and went for G3, but perhaps you're right. NtheP (talk) 11:35, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can the editor who flagged this article pls provide specific examples? For instance, a posted Wiki article on a NASA research park reads similar to me. It contains information about research specialties, history, etc.:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Research_Park

thanks CAMiller62 (talk) 15:56, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly, the list of facilities and offerings for tenants isn't really notable, it just reads like a promotional flyer for the park. That another article reads similarly and doesn't carry a flag isn't relevant, it might need tagging too. Articles need to explain why their subject is notable, not just what it can offer to potential users. NtheP (talk) 16:07, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Patents as sources of information.

[edit]

I hope I've found the correct page to bring up your comment on Patent No 106330. Surely a patent is a paragon of an example of a source in itself. It is a product of the international Patent system: anyone can apply for a patent, which when granted is published for all to see with full details of the patent, including, if necessary, drawings.OMINOREG (talk) 16:35, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

yes this is the right page. I think you're missing the point. Nobody is disputing the existence of patent e.g. that Scott was awarded patent number 106330 for a snorkel, but you're not providing the reference in wiki articles. All you need to do is insert, as a reference, a link to the web page on which patent 106330 can be seen. Not everyone reading the article might be able to find that paternt webpage for themselves therefore the onus is on you to provide that assistance. NtheP (talk) 16:46, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I'm dim: would a page of the illustration in the patent suffice? I have no idea how one gets an illustration included in an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by OMINOREG (talkcontribs) 18:54, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not really, a link to a book (or other publication) or a weblink is what's needed. Presumably if you have an illustration from the patent you have a book with the patent in, in which case just refernce that book. NtheP (talk) 19:13, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll be checking to see if the book on the history of Scotts mentions their snorkel patent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by OMINOREG (talkcontribs) 09:00, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Btw will you look at my edit of Pepsi and revert me if I did not due a proper edit.TucsonDavid (talk) 17:07, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Someone already has. Not because your info was wrong but because it wasn't in quite the right place. The lead should introduce the article not launch into it's history in depth. Don't worry about making a few edits that get undone or altered. You'll pick it up fast enough. I'd suggest writing an article from scratch then you can see how it all fits together. If you do don't put it straight in mainspace but create a sub page of your own user page e.g. User:TucsonDavid/Newpage to use as a sandbox. That way no matter how slowly you proceed it won't get deleted. NtheP (talk) 17:12, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Mckie & Co

[edit]

Hello Nthep. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Mckie & Co, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There's some notability asserted in terms of awards. Will take to AfD and get it decided there. . Thank you. GedUK  14:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article changed totally when the csd tag was removed, and I've now tagged it as a hoax! Peridon (talk) 19:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Must admit I'd didn't bother reading it in any detail, I just restored the tag. NtheP (talk) 19:21, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I think I mistakenly took October's edits here for vandalism and reverted it. Since you made another edit afterwards, could you please revert my revert and redo those edits. Sorry for the misunderstanding! --DanielCD (talk) 17:23, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorted, my last edits were tidying his refs up anyway. NtheP (talk) 17:25, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! How do you know he was called to Inner Temple? That's a curious fact I never knew about him! I know a couple of barristers that I been trying to find that out for years!  :) --Alex (a.k.a. October1625) (talk) 17:33, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well that makes referencing much simpler. Thank you. I do have a creative commons free picture of him that I can use. Although it's hard to work out how to upload it. Eak! --Alex (a.k.a. October1625) (talk) 17:41, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! It's just a photograph I have of him in an old family album as I'm ever so slightly related to him. Would that be okay? I'll scan it in next week when I get my scanner up and working if that's an okay source? --Alex (a.k.a. October1625) (talk) 18:01, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! Now I have two pictures of Lord Barnard. One from my family album and one that the present Lord B has supplied to me with a written permission to use it under Creative Commons. I like the one from Lord B better, but can we use it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by October1625 (talkcontribs) 21:25, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Did the present Lord B email you? If so then great, it can be uploaded with permission via the OTRS system. Go to commons:upload and upload the photo but use the following info section

{{Information |Description={{en|1=Photo of Henry de Vere Vane, 9th Baron Barnard}} |Source= Current Lord Barnard |Author= |Date= whatever year the photo was taken |Permission={{OTRS pending|month=November|day=10|year=2010}} |other_versions= }} You need to fill something appropriate in for author e.g. photographers name or unknown. Then, and this is most important follow the process outlined at commons:OTRS starting at step 3 if you have an email from Lord B or get an email and then start at step 3. NtheP (talk) 22:05, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic. Thank you. I shall get that sorted. I have a letter, but not an email, he's rather old, but I'm sure someone in his staff can send one! :) --Alex (a.k.a. October1625) (talk) 22:11, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you email his staff include the template at commons:OTRS in the eamil you send. NtheP (talk) 22:13, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's fantastic and very well organised! I shall get cracking post-haste! Thank you for all the help you have given me on this article! --Alex (a.k.a. October1625) (talk) 22:16, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's fantastic, thank you for changing it. I have, indeed, almost managed to get pictures for all the articles on the Barons (from the reverted creation) from Lord B. He's just checking through the articles (or someone who manages his archives is) to see if they are accurate (which he thinks they are) and then he'll do the picture email thing. I think they will look good with pictures on there! --Alex (a.k.a. October1625) (talk) 00:56, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns about point of view

[edit]

Hello Nthep, a user has raised concerns about possible point of view issues surrounding edits to the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. If you get a chance, please join the conversation at: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Possible POV editing on Irish related articles. AustralianRupert (talk) 21:28, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a link to the Irish Times web page I cited from:-Guinness workers killed by soldiers--MFIrelandTalk 00:50, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

which is fine but is not the url previously quoted.NtheP (talk) 11:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Easter Rising

[edit]

Hi Nthep. Thanks for your message. I downloaded the Sinn Fein Rebellion Handbook a few months ago, but I did not get time to read it all as of yet. At amazon.co.uk a copy of the handbook is for sale for UK£250. Thanks again for your message.--MFIrelandTalk 10:44, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Guinness brewery killings were not the only killings of innocent people that week. There was the murder of Francis Sheehy-Skeffington and a number of other people with him and what is know as the North King Street Massacre. Im not sure if these incidents are covered in the Sinn Fein Rebellion Handbook.--MFIrelandTalk 12:05, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Kingloong wu mei

[edit]

Hello Nthep. I am just letting you know that I deleted Kingloong wu mei, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. Courcelles 21:02, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

actually... A1 fit with a little stretching, just G10 fit much better due to one line. Courcelles 21:03, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: KZME FM

[edit]

Hello Nthep. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of KZME FM, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Licensed radio stations are almost always kept at AFD, so A7 does not apply. Thank you. Courcelles 13:39, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not a worry, when I tagged it the article merely said it was a station to start broadcasting in 2011. If the article has improved since then, all the better. NtheP (talk) 13:44, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't. I removed some redlinks to image files that had been deleted. NtheP (talk) 22:43, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

G4

[edit]

When reviewing a G4 such as List of births, marriages, and deaths in EastEnders, I like to review the prior deletion reason. Earlier today, I declined one because the latest version was substantially different that the earlier one. Normally, the CSD notice contains a link to the prior deletion discussion. I assumed it was semi-automatically generated by Twinkle. Am I wrong? In any event, while someone else may do the deletion, I won't without seeing the prior discussion.--SPhilbrickT 21:36, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of births, marriages and deaths in EastEnders - subtle difference in the punctuation. NtheP (talk) 22:38, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks.--SPhilbrickT 22:43, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
