hi -- thanks for the comment on this page. I totally agree. Note that the page has been tagged with proposed deletion, so it will be deleted in a few days if no one contests it.

[edit] images

hi -- do any images appear for you? are you only having trouble with images that you uploaded, or do you not see any images at all on wikipedia? for example, on God, do you see a picture of a Michaelangelo painting, or just an X? bikeable (talk) 21:16, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blue Lagoon

Thanks for adding the item on the Blue Lagoon to Milton Keynes. You'll see that I've made the pic smaller and edited the text down a bit. To compensate, I've copied the text and a bigger picture in the Bletchley, Milton Keynes article. The reason for this is that the MK article is rather seriously over-length for anyone with an ordinary modem to download. So it has to have just pointers to more detailed articles. Great pic, by the way! If you are going to the Bowl this summer, the National Bowl article could do with a really good crowd scene. Loads of other articles in [[Category:Milton Keynes]] could do with some more input. --Concrete Cowboy 12:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The major articles have plenty of pics but the minor ones don't have much at all. See WikiCommons
 Wikimedia Commons has media related to:
For example, no Milton Keynes redway system pic, we need something maybe at the teardrop lakes, something that illustrates what is being said in the text, ideally with someone cycling on it! better still a family. The Balancing lake article could use a close up of the engineering at Willen, Furzton or Caldecotte as well as some ducks and dinghies. No need to set out to do it, just carry a camera and if you see something interesting, take a pic. By the way the Bletchley, Milton Keynes#Blue Lagoon could do with some history of the place - all I know is that it was a clay pit for Newton Longville brick works. --Concrete Cowboy 17:14, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Affenpinscher Picture

I've fixed the image. I disagree that yours is a better image for the article. It may show the face full-on, but it doesn't show the whole dog. It's also very dark. But there is room in the article for more than one image, I would suggest leaving the full dog image in the infobox and adding your image outside the box. And you can always expand the article to give a better balance of course ;)

By the way, it's usual here to add new messages to the bottom of the page, and you can sign by typing four tildes after your message (~~~~). -- sannse (talk) 07:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Help

All you need to do is add the link to the site where you got the image from to the image page. Just click edit at the top of the image information page here and type the url of the site there. That will show the source nicely. -- sannse (talk) 18:30, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hole in the doughnut effect

Hi, the article that you created, Hole in the doughnut effect has been listed as an article for deletion here on the grounds that it is original research. You may be interested in contributing to the discussion. You appear to know your way around wikipedia but I'd be happy to provide assistance if you required. MLA 12:37, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd be happy to help with any particular issues that you might have.
Regarding the AfD discussion, in order to be a wikipedia article Hole in the doughnut effect needs to be a verifiable term, needs to be notable in some way, and needs to be sourced. The onus is on the article creators and editors to show that these criteria have been met. In the case of this article, it's not currently very clear what the effect refers to which makes it hard for other editors to see how it should be kept. For instance, if it is taught at GCSE then there will likely be some textbooks that can be referenced. My understanding of the article is that it essentially refers to centralisation of shopping preferences but I can't see that it's a verifiable and notable phrase but it might be of interest as part of an article on shopping malls. An example of another short article on shopping centers is Gruen transfer which is written in an encyclopedic style and has external links to show sourcing. MLA 12:53, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
You added a sources section to the article but it's not quite what editors are going to be looking for. Taking the above example of Gruen transfer, there's an external links section which has URLs that provide the evidence for the information contained in the article. There's a lengthy page at Wikipedia:Citing_sources that discusses how to cite sources but the best two bets are to either have an external site to link to, or to have a book such as a core GCSE geography textbook as an explicit source. The source that you added would itself be better off being sourced as it's more of a claim that this subject is covered in GCSE geography which you know to be true but other editors can't verify. MLA 07:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's the Fear

Just letting you know that the article It's the Fear which you created has been nominated for deletion. You're most welcome to join the debate at its AfD listing. BigHaz 03:43, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AFD discussions

One doesn't have to be an administrator to comment on AFD discussion pages. The main reason that you'll find that some editors there are adminstrators is that someone willing to devote time to such a mop-and-bucket job usually ends up being offered a mop and a bucket. ☺ (Being an administrator just means that the community trusts one, based upon one's record, to wield certain, more powerful, editing tools in the best interests of the project. I've often thought that trusty would have been a better name. ☺) The most important thing at AFD is not whether one is an administrator or not. It's whether one can form a good solid reason for keeping or for deleting an article based upon our Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and whether one is willing to put in the effort of doing the basic research necessary in order to determine whether an article satisfies our criteria or not (Sometimes, it's not a trivial amount of work.) and then write up a detailed rationale. If one does that, then it doesn't matter even if one is a wholly anonymous user who hasn't even created an account. Uncle G 23:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MK Pics

 Wikimedia Commons has media related to:

Well, the top priority must be to replace the blank patches on the Commons galleries, since these are the source of the images used on many of the MK pages. --Concrete Cowboy 12:18, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Secondary Schools in MK

If you have time, the Category:Schools in Milton Keynes is very thin, loads of secondary schools need articles. Try only to use quotes from Ofsted reports as per Stantonbury Campus, no rude remarks! --Concrete Cowboy 17:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Great stuff. Don't forget the Category lines. Secondaries should be the priority as there are about 80 primaries! --Concrete Cowboy 12:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lord Grey School

You need to be very careful when writing about controversial issues to Wikipedia:Cite your sources and be careful that you don't break the WP:NOR rule. It has to be factual, not opinion. Check out the changes I made to your edits of Lord Grey School. --Concrete Cowboy 17:08, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Despina Pavlou

Even through you are probably right, you can't say she has been sacked unless and until you can cite an independent source. The Citizen has nothing on it. I reverted. --Concrete Cowboy 18:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Random Hand

The article was deleted because there was nothing in it to indicate that the band was notable per the guidelines of WP:MUSIC. If you were about to add such information and I deleted too quickly, I apologize. NawlinWiki 17:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, it was an accident; but I'm glad you like it! Your welcome doesn't exactly fit, but the idea is true for this! So, your welcome! Salutations my fellow humans (I think your human at least...)
