[edit] Wave!

I noticed yr pic credits - after seeing your work on many of the same pages as myself. Are you at Thanington Hotel, then? I'm about 200 yards away... :-) JackyR 12:30, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Gosh, I'm flattered! :-) JackyR 20:04, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
How embarrassing... I've just realised one of my cut and pastes is wrong. Unless you have a very good memory, it should read (oops again):

[edit] Swimming clubs

Hello O1ive. I have noticed that you have created a lot of short articles on swimming clubs based in London. I am concerned that at the moment, the articles do not meet the notability guidelines, as they are do not assert the importance of the material, which may result in the them being deleted. eg, historical, sporting notability, or notability due to sheer size of the club. Generally speaking amateur-level sporting teams do not warrant and article (have the clubs produced notable Olympians, for example?, or won many competitions). However, even if this does not occur, you could write an article about the competitive league, and have the clubs as subsections of the leagues. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 06:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I accept your thoughts on deletion, I didn't know about the notability guidelines and was posting the pages as a starting block for the club members to insert their notable swimmers/achievements.Chris 10:26, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

On 03-Mar, you created a "soft" redirect from Tonbridge Robbery 2006 to Securitas depot robbery. You should do a real redirect in cases like this. The instructions for how are at Wikipedia:Redirect. I've fixed this one, but if you need help in the future, let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 18:51, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cat:Kent geography stubs

Please don't remove the space in the piping from categories (like here). It is deliberately there to put these categories at the beinning of the alphabetical list in their parent categories (i.e., before the letter A). Grutness...wha? 02:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikitravel

Is Wikitravel part of the "wiki group" or spam, it has a slightly different address and is not mentioned on the "Main Page", I can't link commons to it, or can you help with info how. Olive Oil 18:52, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

If a link to Wikitravel (recently acquired by Internet Brands) is adequate or not depends on the article you are referring from and the article you are referring to. I think it is unlikely that a link will be interpreted as WP:Spam as long as the content the link refers to justifies the link. Wikitravel is, however, not a project of the Wikimedia Foundation and has no special status in relation to Wikipedia. You cannot link to content on Wikimedia Commons from Wikitravel. --Fasten 19:11, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ashford District/Borough

Hi Olive - appreciate your comment, thanks. Of course the correct title (if we are being pedantic) is District in strict local government terms, but many of the erstwhile Districts had been Boroughs before the big changes took place, and didn't like the term given them: they had Mayors and all that, and you cannot really be Mayor of a District can you? I don't intend to set up another article though. Good job you spotted it before I'd got through all the parish councils. Peter Shearan 13:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Black Lion S.C.

This article was nominated for speedy deletion by BLNguyen as it fails to assert notability. At the moment, it is also a short article lacking context. It has been prodded meaning that it might be deleted unless you can add more information establishing notability within 5 days. What we would be looking for are members who have represented England and that sort of thing. Alternatively, you can redirect it to Swimming in Kent. Capitalistroadster 06:02, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree the article should be deleted as per the comments in the Swimming clubs discussion. Olive Oil 07:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bus lists

Hello. By all means merge in the info from the history. I've already merged article content User:Truffles has created once before. Mrsteviec 15:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

Please keep an eye of the Force Research Unit page -- there are a lot of inflammatory and possibly dangerous allegations, weasel words, etc. that are being thrown about there by extreme partisans. I can't always do so as I am very busy at work and can't always get to the computer. I trust your objectivity.
