[edit] Edit summaries

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Unionism in Scotland. Thank you. -- Jza84 · (talk) 20:21, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

That's ok. It appears that someone has started off and helped you out. Maybe next time you should create and article that already has some links to it, so that way it won't get posted for a speedy deletion. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! Happy holidays!

[edit] Consolidation of articles

Hi. You've made some useful edits to articles on UK local government recently. I'm looking at the articles listed in List of articles about local government in the United Kingdom. Some are very short or similar and I wonder if there are any you feel should be combined or amended in some way? (comments to: Talk:List of articles about local government in the United Kingdom).

[edit] Problem with your Berwick-upon-Tweed edit

The problem with your edit to BoT is that, for whatever reason (and I assume it is a good reason), the article for Charles I is called Charles I of England. So your change now links to a disambiguation page for all the Charles I that ever existed ... meaning that you've degraded the quality of the article. You might have achieved the effect you were after with the piped link: Charles I (i.e. [[Charles I of England|Charles I]]).

England (including Wales) and Scotland had been in personal union since the Union of the Crowns in 1603. They agreed to a political union in the form of a unified Kingdom of Great Britain under the Acts of Union 1707, and it was only from that point that the King was styled as of the Great Britain (and only after the Act of Union 1800, that the style was King of the United Kingdom). So Charles I was Charles I of England, also Charles I of Scotland, and had various other names besides, I do not doubt. Wikipedia does not have sufficient freedom to use all of his titles as the article title, and has determined to file him under England.

The English rule to which the section title alludes is rule from Westminster rather than from the Parliament of Scotland, fwiw.

I'll go away and pipe the link now. Probably the best solution. --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:33, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

No harm done. thanks. --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Important to know

Hi Fishiehelper2, I hope you read my comment at Talk: Post-abortion syndrome. I just thought it would be important to remind you especially since you seem like a new editor. You said that if something is true, then it shouldn't need any sources to back up the claim. I just thought it would be a friendly reminder to tell you that it is the other way around. In fact, WP:V says that when something has no source, then it can be deleted without warning. (Of course, it can also be discussed on the talk page.) This means that in the future, anything you see that is tagged with citation needed can be deleted for WP:V. I don't know if this is overkill, but I thought this would be helpful for you in the future if you are going to edit Wikipedia in the future. Cheers! миражinred (speak, my child...) 00:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Anyone can add citation needed templates like this {{citation needed}}. However, I usually delete things that are tagged with those templates, especially if they are used on libelous facts on biography articles. миражinred (speak, my child...) 20:14, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem =) миражinred (speak, my child...) 00:51, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citation templates

Hello. I like your work on the Teacher article. May I suggest that you avail yourself of the citation templates to make standardized citations? Compare citations 13 & 14 in the Teacher article to the rest and I think you'll see what I mean. Cheers! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 13:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for getting in touch! I am quite new to all this and I'm trying to learn as I go along - often by checking what has been done and copying methods. Using standardized citations looks quite daunting!!! By the way, I like your user page - I spent two minutes looking over it and I think I know you already! Cheers, and thanks. Fishiehelper2 (talk) 13:37, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the compliment on my user page! I'm always happy to help anyone out in any way that I can, feel free to ask anytime. Citation templates are actually quite easy to use, you just fill in the parts you are able to and erase the rest. I suppose the link to the overview page of all the templates can be confusing- I recommend going to each template's own page to see about usage. The templates I use the most are {{cite web}} and {{cite news}}. I just copy the format given on each of those pages into a text file I keep open on my desktop, fill in the form, then paste it into an article in between a set of <ref></ref> tags. Easy as pie (or π, whatever your preference).
I note above that you've occasionally had your new articles deleted. That can be very frustrating especially if you're still working on them. I would suggest that you use subpages of your user page as work-pages to develop articles. For example, User:Fishiehelper2/Some article leads to a subpage of your user page where you can work on an article to your heart's content with it being very unlikely that it would be deleted. When the article is ready for "prime time", you can use the move function to place it into the main namespace with its revision history intact. Subpages can also be used to archive your talk page when it gets too long and even to create a personal sandbox where you can do editing experiments.
I hope my ideas help you out a bit. Looking at how others have done things is a great way to learn (I do it myself often) but also feel free to ask other editors any questions you may have too. A good resource for that is the New contributors' help page. Thanks for your excellent contributions to the encyclopedia and Happy editing! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 17:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for all that. Cheers Fishiehelper2 (talk) 19:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stuff

The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has the role of providing advice to NHS Boards and their Area Drug and Therapeutics Committees (ADTCs) about all newly licensed medicines. [1] It seeks to supply advice within 12 weeks of a new medicine being licenced to ensure that patients would could benefit can get access to the medinine as quickly as possible. The speed of the process has allowed the SMC to be compared favourably against the performance of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) which performs a similar role for the NHS in England and Wales.[2] On one occasion, NICE was accused of incompetence by the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) for delaying issuing advice for England and Wales about a drug that had already been approved for use in Scotland by the SMC.

Hi Fishiehelper2,

- good to hear from you!! Cheers Fishiehelper2 (talk) 21:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

Please refrain from repeatedly undoing other people's edits, as you are doing in Abortion. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The three-revert rule (3RR) prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, please discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.

[edit] Prison population of England and Wales

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Prison population of England and Wales, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: United Kingdom prison population. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 01:25, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Irish people

Hello. I was wondering, because there is no Northern Irish people article, do you think we should add Irish people to the British people page like the others here?

I hadn't thought about it until your message - now that I have thought about it, I suppose Northern Irish people are either 'British' or 'Irish'. I suppose it depends on whether we view 'British' as being from Britain or from the British Isles. Cheers

[edit] Violent crime in the US

Actually, my cite request was not for firearm homicide. Rather, it was for the claim that:

Among developed nations, the United States has above-average levels of violent crime

Firearm-related crime is only about 10-20% of all violent crime. My cite request is for the claim that the US has a higher level of violent crime in general, compared to the rest of the developed world. I have read research that this is not the case. kevinp2 (talk) 23:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NHS

The NHS is the National Health Service of the United Kingdom. It was invented by the government of the United Kingdom. The UK government retains substantial control over the entireity of the service. It is only since devolution (c.1997) that the system has fragmented. I think it is unwise to claim that it is only the health system in England. Feel free to rename the article "Healthcare in England" if you want to be more specific. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Odyssey 500 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

If you are returning to read my reply, here it is! The NHS in England and Wales was set up by separate legislation from the NHS in Scotland, though both systems took effect on the same date in 1948. The Welsh system was separated from the English system prior to political devolution. Therefore devolution may be accelerating the creation of differences, but the systems were never one system. Hope this is helpful. Fishiehelper2 (talk) 19:22, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scotland

Hello Fishiehelper2. Thank you, for not 'roughing' me up on the 'map' & consistancy issues. GoodDay (talk) 15:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry about that I didnt realise I thought it was county forces it was trying to get across, but thanks. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 09:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UK

Hello there Fishiehelper2!

I notice you've made alot of great changes to the United Kingdom article. However, I think the next step would be to cite some sources for the additions/changes to ensure the text stays stable. Do you think you'd be able to do this? --Jza84 |  Talk  19:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quoted in Arbitration Request

FYI, in my response to MastCell's Arbitration Request you are quoted. I hope you will agree that I did not quote you out of context. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Strider12

[edit] Revert

Could you please explain why you reverted this [1] Why is the first ever Labour government not important enough to be included in this section? Jack forbes (talk) 16:28, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

No bother, cheers! Jack forbes (talk) 17:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Seems someone agreed with you and reverted my revert! As you say, not too big a deal, so I'll leave as is. Jack forbes (talk) 21:33, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re Healthcare in the United Kingdom

Just a few words to thank you for taking on board what I said before about the original intent this article and the need to ensure that it did not linger too much on the variations amongst the various systems. I think the article reads much better now. --Tom (talk) 15:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
