CUTF

• Cambuslang Railway Station is in need of a Cleanup with the possibility of a total re-write.
• Uddingston Railway Station is one of many scottish-residential-area station articles which is a stub...though not for long.
• Bellshill Railway Station is a little messy and I'll deal with that around the same time as the above.
• Paisley Gilmour Street is a very short article, considering it is the third busiest station in Scotland; I will perform an extention when possible.

RIP Nala the Golden Retriever, age 10, who was Anthony cfc's dog.

This user has adopted Anthony cfc has adopted User:Db1944 as of 17/11/06. (GMT)

I am not a Gas My legal name is Anthony Kelly, not Anthony cfc; I've taken the "CFC" from no, not a type of harmful gas, but the Football Club who I follow with an unusually avid passion.

Home Sweet Home Home I live in the BEST small country in the world, Scotland! My hometown of Cambuslang is on the South Side of Greater Glasgow.

Politics I support the Labour Party and the United Kingdom Prime Minister, Tony Blair. As such, I support centre-to-left-wing politics.

I am opposed to the UK's ties with the USA in regards to the War In Iraq. I am opposed to George Bush and frankly think he is an incompetent. NB: absolutely no offense is meant to anybody (especially fellow Wikipedians) of any nation or political standing.

Health Weight:7 stone; Physical Health: fairly fit; Bleep Test Rating: 14.5. My doctor has diagnosed me with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which is a mental health disorder often assosiated with symptoms such as Obsessive Checking, Counting Schemes and Cleanliness ^{e.g. compulsive hand washing}. It should be noted that I don't care what people think of me, including my mental health.

Yawn - I mean School School St.Aloysius College, Glasgow. S4 now, with the Intermediate Exams in under a years time. I travel on the train to/from Cambuslang station; doing this for over 4 years has really made me into a trainspotter which i suppose is pretty sad but true; becuase of this, I've joined Wikipedia Project Trains and have basically extended every article on Southern Glasgow Railway Stations...Sad, sad, sad - I know!

Hopes and stuff

My WikiAmbitions include becomeing an Administrator and wear the badge proudly (metaphorically speaking) in the war agains Vandals; to help me do this, I'm aiming for 10-15 edits per day and I am trying to develop my RC Patrolling as much as possible. In addition I hope I can try to become a more substantial editor and I am learning more by the minute on Wikipedia with regards to good Editing technique. However, I am learning (as we all are) so if you have any comments AT ALL give me a yell on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

You can join the fight against Vandals NOW! Just visit Wikipedia:Recent Changes Patrolling and follow the instructions to become a Recent Changes Patroller!

Policies

I involve myself in a lot of XfD discussions (e.g. AfD (Articles for Deletion)) and as such refer a lot to Policies and Guidelines. Although I know them all off by heart by now, I like to keep a reference guide both so I can double-check policies and for other users to use. So please feel free to use this list!

• Wikipedia:Notability
• Be bold!
• Citing sources
• NPOV (Neutral Point Of View)
• No original research
• Manual of Style (Shortcut  •  WP:STYLE)

Tools

The following is a list of pages and tools on Wikipedia that I use in the fight against Vandals during my RC Patrol duties. Anyone can use them, although you might find tools that are better suited to your personal style.

• Test Templates List
• Lupin's Anti-Vandal Tool
• At-a-Glance List of Policies
• VandalProof

The Project Page for the Assossiation of Member's Advocates is located at WP:AMA.

This is my assosiation of member's advocates policy page. I am happy to help with any legitimate request for advocacy; however, please be sure you offer support for your request by filling out the form for requesting assistance. Please note that any advocate can pick up your case; if you do wish to specifically request me, please post a message on my talk page before you request AMA Assistance. If you are going to message me, note my status indicator to the right; if you see the green traffic lights then I'm in and you should recieve a reply immediately.^{All replies are posted on my talk page}

Please ensure you have reviewed the Dispute Resolution Process:

1. Talk it through: The first resort in resolving almost any conflict is to discuss the issue on a talk page. Either contact the other party on that user's talk page, or use the talk page associated with the article in question. Never carry on a dispute on the article page itself. When discussing an issue, stay cool and don't mount personal attacks. Take the other person's perspective into account and try to reach a compromise. Assume that the other person is acting in good faith unless you have clear evidence to the contrary. If you want assistance, request an advocate to help you in presenting your thoughts in the issue (see Section 6 on this page).
   

1. Disengage for a While: A simple solution to a dispute is to stop having it — by leaving the article and/or bringing in an outside editor. This is particularly helpful when disputing with new users as it gives them a chance to familiarize themselves with Wikipedia's policy and culture. Focus your contributions on another article where you can make constructive progress. Avoid going back to the page of dispute. Respond to questions about it on your user talk page and direct the questioner to take their issues to the article talk page to keep all relevant discussion in one place.
   

1. Other-party Resolution: This is were things heat up a little and other editors begin to get involved. Try some of the following:

• Informal Meditation
  • Formal Meditation This is conducted using WP:M
  • Conduct a Survey For a helping hand, see Wikipedia:Straw_polls. ^{Wikipedia is not a Democracy}
    • Arbitration - The last resort. My personal style when it comes to Arbitration is that I will normally advise my client if it is necessary; however your Advocate is likely to work differently. (See The Guide to Advocacy)
