[edit] Oxford/Grosvenor Square

Hi Desmay. I've cut the info you added on Grosvenor Square to the Oxford entry, as that is to do with Oxford Street, London, not the city of Oxford. I've pasted your text here so you can add it somewhere more appropriate if you wish. --hooverbag 08:58, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)

Oxford Street in London features on its south side the well-known Grosvenor Square, encompassing six acres and named for Sir Richard Grosvenor. The houses in the area are generally considered quite magnificent. It includes an equestrian statue of King George I.


[edit] Michael Moore edit

It was wrong to remove the reference to the family who were scandalized and appalled at their son's funeral being in Moore's movie without permission. This is very legitimate criticism of Moore and deserves mention.

I agree. However the edit also had serious POV problems. There have been further attempts to present it in NPOV form and these should continue. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:31, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AIDS Dissent Wikicity

Hi, Dean. (Yes, I know who you are.) You may be interested in contributing to the AIDS Dissent Wikicity I founded last month. Mostly, I'm the only contributor so far, but I'm looking for others to join in. There's about 25 articles started so far. I think dissidents do not really have a fair chance here at wikipedia, and also I think it's good to have a site where a strict NPOV policy can be slightly modified. Please, come and check it out: [1] Revolver 03:59, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

Hi there: to make a redirect, type "#REDIRECTarticle , inserting the article name to which you want to redirect. Must be in capitals, spacing is critical.--Anthony.bradbury 17:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, the above message went to the wrong person.--Anthony.bradbury 17:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Robert A. Heinlein

Hi. I reverted this change. Heinlein's biographer, Bill Patterson, says:

Robert Anson Heinlein was born on 7 July 1907, in Butler, Bates County, Missouri, the third son of Rex Ivar Heinlein and Bam Lyle Heinlein. Heinlein had two older brothers -- Lawrence and Rex, Jr. He was succeeded by a sister -- Louise -- another brother -- Jesse -- and then two more sisters -- Rose Betty and Mary Jean, also called "MJ" -- seven children in all.

I'm not sure how to reconcile that with this page, as I'd also expect James Gifford's site to be reliable. I can speculate that Jay might be a nickname for Jesse, but that's just a random guess. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 20:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] October 2007

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to USS Enterprise (CV-6). Thank you. MBK004 01:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ms. Monster

Hi, Dean. I added {{notability}} to Ms. Monster because it doesn't establish that she meets our basic notability criteria. If you can improve the article, please do. If you have any questions, you can contact me on my talk page, check Wikipedia:Questions, or leave {{helpme}} and you question on this page, and someone will be around to help shortly. Cheers, WODUP 04:44, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christmastide edit

Desmay: I saw your recent edit to the Christmastide article, and I did not revert it, but I would ask you to reconsider it, as the sentence you changed was not saying what you thought it did. The sentence was not saying that only "some" Christian churches recognized Christmas, it says that only some Christian churches recognize it as a 'liturgical season', which is quite different. Many evangelical, fundamentalist, or "low-church" denominations don't have a concept of 'liturgical season'. Sigil7 (talk) 22:40, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Ms. Monster

I have nominated Ms. Monster, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ms. Monster. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. WODUP 03:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
