[edit] Bridge
I undone your move on Bingley's Beckfoot Bridge. Although a lot of Wikipedia articles have lower case words, this should not take precedence over correct spelling. I'd be happy to see it moved back if you can provide me with evidence the current spelling is incorrect. Mgm|(talk) 20:51, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Crossflatts

[edit] Re: Connexions
changed your 'vandalism,' edit as Connexions do regularly share personal client information with the police and/or their agents. Many staff resigned when this was brought in as it became a 'non-confidential,' service. the information is used in tasking meetings; with the 'partners,' who justify using it as it may 'stop potential crime,'check out the fine print' at ; crimereduction.gov.uk/toolkits/ui0306.htm, welcome to the new world of targetting individuals who 'may,' be doing something, from a subjectie, note NOT evidence based perspective. user:vanon 241005

[edit] Sources for Thornton and Allerton
Hello, good work on Thornton and Allerton, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. What websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Thornton and Allerton? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? Thank you very much. - SimonP 05:19, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- What you have done looks good, thanks. If you want to read more about what I have been doing see Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#A_better_way_of_getting_articles_referenced. - SimonP 18:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Might also be worth adding similair to the other wards, I would but it may look a bit odd!--ElvisThePrince 17:03, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

- Well I've sourced them all. I'm fairly happy with them now, a few could do with expanding the description (all 3 Keighley, Toller) which leaves Clayton, Ilkley, Manningham & Shipley where there were already substantial articles. I suppose it's time to wp:be bold and create sections on each about the wards, what do you reckon? As for you putting the sources in, I'm sure you could have guessed what I used. You created the template in the first place anyway. --MGSpiller 21:08, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- I also completly forgot about http://www.bradfordinfo.com/census/WardProfiles.cfm which has the data accesabile in something other than IE, (the profiles may be worth basing some of the "qualitative" information for each ward on as well.)--ElvisThePrince 22:42, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, I'd misplaced that link. I deliberately didn't read them after a couple as it would have been too easy to create copyvios. It was easier just to write a description of what I could see on my local maps. I'll add that link to them all Wednesday (probably) if you don't beat me to it. I think the BCSP should stay as well as a mapping reference. --MGSpiller 23:07, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Drofdarb
Alright? At the risk of being tedious, where about in Bradford are you from?--Crestville 00:58, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- Small world. Never had too much trouble woth folk from Lancashire. Dunno why theres a problem. We shiuld gang up against southeners. Comin' up 'ere with their lager and their medeteranitan diets. I'm off to climb an unecesserily steep hill to buy bread.--Crestville 01:22, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Bingley All Saints Parish Church1.jpg and others
Que? You seem to have edited a bunch of images I uploaded to commons 9 months ago with copyright tags & everything. I took them all & released them all so there should be no problem. To add 2 my confusion I can't see what the edit was. MGSpiller 02:12, 24 February 2006 (UTC) p.s. if i'm missing somthing obvious sorry, I'm checking after a session in the pub.
- No problem, I didn't actually edit the images on the commons, the image you mentioned Image:Bingley All Saints Parish Church1.jpg had a page on wikipedia but no image here, it's a problem that sometimes happens. I tagged the page on en.wikipedia.org as needing deletion because it was empty, and the image was actually at commons. If you were watching the en page you would have seen the edit, but the page was then deleted by someone else. [1] so edit history doesn't exist. When you go to the page now what you are seeing is the version from the commons. It's kinda confusing, especially coming back from the pub hehe. If you have any other questions though feel free to ask, the images are fine though all that happened was a little housekeeping :) - cohesion★talk 06:22, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I can 100% gaurantee to you that Cleobury Mortimer in Shropshire is a town! :) Talk:Cleobury Mortimer David 21:45, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chemical Brothers
Hi,
I see you made quite a few edits to the List of Live Performances by The Chemical Brothers page. If you think this page should stay on Wikipedia, please vote to keep it on the Votes For Deletion page as this article is currently under threat of deletion. Thanks, Martin Hinks 07:32, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bradford Riot
Hi, I noticed you'd left some good points on the Bradford Riot talk page. You seem like you're of sound and impartial judgement.... I've added some comments on the talk page about how the article could be improved - It may not interest you, but thought I'd let you know non-the-less. Hope it helps, keep up the good work, Jhamez84 00:13, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- --Thanks for the comments left on the Oldham Riots talk page. I've since added one photograph to the article, but do very much agree with you that it needs more. I'm currently striving to get the article up to Wikipedia:Good articles criteria, and really valued your feedback. If you feel you want to make other suggestions, or contribute to the article further, please feel free. Thanks again, Jhamez84 01:52, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Liphook
- I notice you have removed this town, as recognised by it's county council, from the List of towns in England. This is being discussed on Talk:List of towns in England as we need to establish what is a town. Nuttah68 15:57, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
