[edit] Jersey references

Greetings,

I was wondering if you could help with the article on Jersey as far as references are concerned (using the citation templates).

God bless you,

Grumpy Troll ^(talk) 13:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I have pretty much taken care of the history section (its references should be transferred to the main article), but I am somewhat unable to provide many references for information in the politics and culture sections, added to which the politics section could do with a knowledgeable rewrite.

God bless you,

[edit] Blampied stamps

Thanks for reinserting the image of the stamps. Ah1954 17:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Narrow Water Castle

Hi Man vyi! I've asked a question on Talk:Narrow Water Castle. As I've seen you have made the foto, so you will most probably know: Would you please mind answering my question? Just a short answer here or even better on the talk-page would be great. Thanks --Rheinländer 13:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Jersey

In the Battle of Jersey wiki page it states that there was a Jerseyman who was arrested in the aftermath. Knowing you are a history buff do you have any idea who, I can't find it anywhere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.20.183.38 (talk) 09:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

Found it, it was a Le Geyt!

[edit] Crown Dependency

I have revised the relationship with the crown section of the Crown Dependency page to more accurately examine the complex feudal relationship between the King of England and King of France when the King of England was equal to and was also the subordinate of the King of France due to his position as Duke of Normandy and Acquitaine and the position of the Channel Islands who remain loyal to the rightful 'Duke of Normandy' even though he has subsequently given up claim to the title.

Knowing you have a great interest in these things, perhaps you will just check over and make sure I am being impartial etc.

Cheers. Darius —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.20.183.38 (talk) 10:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Evolution of the Bailiff

Sorry Man Vyi, been busy in the Jersey section today. I have added a section to Bailiff (Channel Islands) looks at the role of the Bailiff within its wider historical context as suggested re McGonnell vs. United Kingdom in the Politics of Jersey page. See what you think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.20.183.38 (talk) 17:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

Have also updated this in the History section of the States of Jersey page.

DariusJersey 17:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I see your point, wishful thinking I guess... edited accordingly

DariusJersey 18:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Ooh, nice. Was reading another bit of interesting history the other day while researching for the newsletter. Ever heard of a former Lt. Governor Sir Tomkyns Hilgrove Turner (Hilgrove Street is named after him) most interesting man. Are you going to the Battle of Jersey re-enactment walk on the 6th? DariusJersey

[edit] Jersey Green Party

Just noticed that on the List of political parties in Jersey this party had indicated that it had reformed in 2005 and listed two members Stuart Syvret and Geraint Jennings. Just wondering if this was correct. DariusJersey

[edit] John St Helier Lander

Can you check the ISBN for The Royal Court and States Building, Philip Le Brocq, 1998, Jersey. Thanks. Rich Farmbrough, 22:58 15 January 2007 (GMT). Thanks for that. It is an invalid number as it stands (1 digit short), which is not an unknown occurance. Rich Farmbrough, 09:53 16 January 2007 (GMT).

[edit] Languages of the European Union: A prolonged discussion over new member states data.

As there is an ongoing and rather prolonged discussion over some data about the new member states in Languages_of_the_European_Union#Language_skills_of_European_Union_citizens, please see the discussion in Talk:Languages_of_the_European_Union#2007_update and, as you have recently contributed to the article, you may want to add some comment. --Michkalas 20:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gallo language

For rewrite Gallo, you should read my note before, and read fr:mayennais too. Perche in my mind, speak a dialect closer gallo than Norman. 86.72.170.26 13:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC), i.e. fr:User:Vincnet

Lit l'article gallo en français, pour le reste tu dois quand même comprendre mon texte. quatre points doivent être évoqués :

• Il y a un continuum linguistique entre les normands, le poitevin et les langues de l'île de France. Si bien qu'il est difficile de définir une zone précise. La seule vraie frontière claire se trouve entre la zone des bretons et du gallo.
• plus s'avance vers l'est moins l'influance du breton se fait sentir si bien qu'a partir de la mayenne, le gallo n'est plus du tout influancé par le breton.
• L'accent peut varier beaucoup, un manceau) ne comprendra grand chose d'un mayennais, un mayennais ne comprendra pas grand chose d'un rennais. Cependant, le vocabulaire, la grammaire etc, tout montre qu'il sagit bien de dialects apparentés, ce distinguant du normand (par l'abscence des termes scandinaves notamment), du poitevin etc...
• le contexte social et économico-politique, qui provoque la tentative de normalisation avec le dialecte gallo de Haute bretagne n'est pas forcement un acte neutre. 86.72.170.26 14:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

par conséquent, en accord avec ce qu'a écrit Svartalf, l'article ne respecte pas actuellement la théorique neutralité de point de vue, voir est completement trompeur. fr:User:Vincnet

[edit] Dolmens

Thanks for tidying up the Jersey Dolmens article. Tony —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tony theprof (talk • contribs) 15:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] General Tidyup

Thanks for generally tidying up and adding pictures to my additions. If any parts need additional bibliographical references, I can probably add details on the appropriate books.

--TonyinJersey 16:04, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Churches

Thanks for tidying up / adding pix to the St brelade's Church and Fisherman's Chapel.

--TonyinJersey 09:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Balliene

Thanks for your usual stalwart work in making the article look respectably Wiki!

There is one on St Aubin on the Hill, and also Norman Le Brocq, if you have time to look at those.

[edit] Let's all try not to potentially by any chance possible offend anybody at all ever

Dear Person,

I have seen that you have taken it unto yourself to remove images from the Jersey article that might possibly be perceived as potentially offending by another person. Under the strictest condition that it would not offend you the slightest I commend your actions. If however you are offended by me drawing attention towards you or your action or if there is even the slightest chance that another person might somehow find themselves affected detrimentally in their enjoyment of the utterly unoffended state then I withdraw this commendation with prejudice. Never being offended for any reason whatsoever is one of the New Freedoms we are given to enjoy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.160.250.209 (talk) 14:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] New Pages - Jersey Politicians

I've added new material - Cyril Le Marquand, and John Le Fondre. Would you be able to work your usual wikifying magic? Thanks.

--TonyinJersey 14:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Le Clare

Thanks for the "tone down". I only added to this one, not one of my creations as you probably saw, some anonymous "talk" person actually put in the words that you took out - probably the same one who put in a libellous statement on the Stuart Syvrey one, which I agree are OTT. My rules of thumb for political biogs are dib, education and career, States major positions, possibly outside interests if notable, no opinions, but possible short quote to show kind of platform. If living family, no details of them at all, which I think is most important.

[edit] Erasing vandalism

Hello, Man vyi! Thank you for reverting vandalism to Wikipedia. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Thanks! --AW 16:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikify please

[edit] Urdu script needed

Hakim Habibur Rahman needs urdu script for the name of the subject (Bangla script has already been added). Can you help? Aditya Kabir 09:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Listing the names of the EU institutions...

...in the official languages of the EU in Languages of the European Union is absolutely redundant. Maybe there is a place for this kind of information in the article of its institution - if it is necessary to mention something like that somewhere. I will remove the tables from this article if it is OK. Please, answer at the talk page of the article. --Michkalas 12:03, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
