[edit] New articles added to Wikipedia

Wikipedia is not a collection of names, unless something is note worthy about them.--Adam (talk) 21:16, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Con rit

Hi there. It's great that you're getting out there and being bold. Unfortunately, Con rit might not be able to support an article. It has been proposed for deletion. An editor is concerned that the article might be unverifiable. Please review WP:V for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve this article by adding sources, please do so, and feel free to remove the prod notice if you feel you've answered the concerns.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. NickelShoe 22:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Asterix volumes

Sorry to remove your list of volumes, but the Asterix article is already quite long, and there is a separate and very detailed article listing all volumes... as well, the list is part of the Asterix template and available through Category:Asterix --Invisifan 16:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Krishna related pages

Dear Midnightblueowl - I've reverted your edits to the A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and Bhagavad Gita As It Is articles with the purpose of keeping them both as accurate as possible. Please don't feel disheartened from editing. On well developed pages such as these you may want to 'test the water' first on the discussion pages before making edits, whereas on smaller articles which need more work, at least in my opinion, it pays to be bold.

[edit] List of Doctor Who serials

Hi, Midnightblueowl. Thanks for your enthusiastic contribution to List of Doctor Who serials. I've reverted it for now, mainly because the addition of a "plot" column to all 28 seasons of Doctor Who to date would be a major addition to an article that's already over the suggested 32K. That's not to say that the idea is completely without merit, just that it should be discussed first. I've started the conversation at Talk:List of Doctor Who serials#Plot column. Please join in! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 17:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Palin

Hi, I saw you changed the titles to some Michael Palin series/books articles. For the next time, you can move a page instead of starting a new page and make a redirect. See Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page. That way the article history is preserved. Cheers, Garion96 (talk) 13:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tim Marlow

Hi, i was so impressed with how you added a pic...where did you get it from and how did you add it? I wonder because I would like you to do the same for Peter Blake (UK pop artist) and maybe even Augustus John...or let me into the secret. thanks Peter morrell 15:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

thanks for your reply...I didn't think you could do that...I assumed that you must have copyright permission rather than just uploading any old pic off the web...surely all web pics have a copyright? in which case the pic you placed may well get removed by someone in due course because it is not in the public domain as yours. What do you think? I could simply place a pic of Peter Blake or Augustus John, say, on those articles, but as I understand it, that is a disapproved method. Please tell me if this is correct. thanks Peter morrell 08:55, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BNP article

You added the following to the British National Party article:

It has been given the nickname of British Nazi Party by some of it's opposition, with it's views being likened to those of the far right German Nazi party.

Could you provide a cite for that, please, as per the verifiability policy? -- The Anome 12:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] link to British

Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom or Great Britain by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]].

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Newsssong.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Newsssong.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 17:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sci Fi Investigates

I deleted your "Controversy" section because you pretty much repeated what was already under the "Criticism" header including the exact same link. Cyberia23 20:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spiritualism

Nice to see that you are interested in spiritualism. The article focuses on the history of spiritualism, not on current spiritualism. Not also that every paragraph cites authoratative sources. Introducing unsourced comments on how spiritualism is viewed in contemporary British popular culture doesn't really help improve the article. I think we can work together if you place your edits about current developments in the section on developments after the 1920s, if your edits are concise, and if they cite authoratative sources (i.e., they are not original research). I'm not trying to discourage you, just trying to be clear about what I would like to see in the article. Thanks --Anthon.Eff 03:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

If you would like to write about current Spiritualism, the best place would probably be Spiritualist Church. Long ago, on the Spiritualism talk page, an agreement was reached to place most of the material about current beliefs in the Spiritualist Church article. For example, the creed proclaiming the "brotherhood of man", etc. is spelled out there. The Spiritualist Church article is very much in need of an editor to clean it up. Why don't you become that editor? Alternatively, if you would really like to focus on the UK, you could introduce some material on important early British figures--William Stainton Moses, for example, doesn't yet have an article. At any rate, I think that your edits on Spiritualism are sufficiently different from the existing content that you need to use the talk pages to explain your purposes. Thanks --Anthon.Eff 22:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calusari episode / UK rating

Hi Midnightblueowl. I just saw your note about the X-Files episode The Calusari. Do you have a cite for that? Frankly I'd be surprised if The Calusari was rated more severely than, say, "Home", which was (I think) one of the few "adult content warning" episodes in the US. --lquilter 21:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. Since it seems like the rating comes from the DVD, and it's not clearly listed which episode, then I think you shouldn't include the information. "Our Town", for instance, includes cannibalism, and that might be considered "mature" according to the English ratings board. --lquilter 21:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I'll be very curious to see what you find out! If you can include a link to some official British DVD ratings board that would be an EXCELLENT source for similar such material & would be much appreciated. --lquilter 21:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vicar of Dibley

As I have said in each edit summary, the current category (sitcom episode lists) is a child category of comedy episode lists. This means that only the child category needs to be used, as you will see by the many pages that are in the sitcom category that aren't in the comedy category. --Berks105 17:29, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
