[edit] How to redirect

Hello,

I noticed that you made a page for 'Chips' Channon, telling people to look under Henry Channon. The page can automatically redirect to the correct page with the line: #REDIRECT [[Henry Channon]]

[edit] Pancreatic cancer

You reinserted the long list of "victims" on pancreatic cancer without replying to my points on talk:Pancreatic cancer. It is my view that these lists are unsourcable, cluttersome and add little of encyclopedic value to the article. JFW | T@lk 23:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree that famous patients do make the article more interesting from a "human interest" point-of-view, but the big problem lies in determining notability. People whose diagnosis with a condition leads to newspaper headlines and science editors writing up the condition and state of the art - that is more notable than random minor celebrities getting ill long after they have disappeared from the public spotlight.
I'm interested in working with others on a guideline for inclusion. JFW | T@lk 20:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

You messed up the Rooney redirects. Skinnyweed 23:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of songs in English labeled the worst ever

You added a POV tag to this article and marked it as a minor edit. Minor edits are those which other editors don't need to look at because they are non-controversial, e.g. a spelling mistake, or some punctuation correction. A POV tag is something that other editors might not agree with, and furthermore it's something that needs to be drawn to their attention as they would need to edit the article for POV.

Thanks! I don't want to be nit-picky, but as the article is up for AfD it makes it even more significant. Tyrenius 20:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I reverted your changes to Soy sauce and Soya sauce...

Its bad to basically do a cut and paste move, because it tosses all of the history at the previous article name. I reverted it. If you wish to bring up possibly moving Soy sauce to Soya sauce, please do so at the Talk:Soy sauce page. Cheers! Syrthiss 19:23, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Patrick O’Brian (Economic Historian)

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Patrick O’Brian (Economic Historian), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Patrick O’Brian (Economic Historian). You may remove the {{dated prod}} template, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Moving Liverpool F.C. to Liverpool Football Club

Hi there, I notice you wished to move Liverpool F.C. to Liverpool Football Club. Just so you know, the current position agreed by consensus is that all articles of clubs called xxxx Football Club are named xxxx F.C. for sake of consistency. If this is to be changed it would have to be changed for all of the clubs. The best thing for you to do would be to take it up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football and make the case for a new consensus.

[edit] Moving pages

Are you aware of how to move articles in Wikipedia? If not, please read WP:MOVE and WP:RM. I was on WP:RM and there is a move discussion for Honour killing where you performed a copy paste move from Honor killing to Honour killing on November 2, 2006. In reviewing your edit history I noticed a number of other copy paste moves and several other questionable moves on your part. Here are two examples of your improper moves:

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. --Bobblehead 01:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I've just been looking at the Prezza move, and I'm not certain whether that title should belong to the article about the town, or redirect to Mr. Prescott. I've started a move-request discussion at Talk:Prezza (Italian town) to see what others think. I'd also like to let you know, if you do a page move like that, please be sure you don't leave loose ends undone. In this case, I added a "dablink" to the top of John Prescott, to help people who end up at that page when looking for the town in Italy — the state you left it in would be confusing to someone looking for the town and suddenly seeing an article about an English politician.
If you look at the list of articles linking to Prezza, you'll note that there are over 100 pages that previously linked to Prezza that are now linking to John Prescott, and need to be fixed if Prezza is to remain a redirect. Unless you're prepared to clean up after yourself in such situations, it's better to leave page moves to those who understand the ramifications.
Please do read WP:MOVE and WP:RM, as Bobblehead suggested above. If you wish to change the title of a page, and you think it might not be uncontroversial, then please use the procedure at WP:RM for requesting a move and allowing for discussion before completing it. Thank you. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

You have copy-paste moved an article again. Please use WP:RM in the future. dab (𒁳) 17:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] February 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Max Clifford. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. RJASE1 Talk 18:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Max Clifford Edit

My edit to the Max Clifford was ***not** meant to be vandalism, I was just trying to put up a defense for him which is surely what all good articles should do.

[edit] Image:Dscf0861a.jpg and Image:Pond04.jpg

Hello, I am not sure why you removed the templates I had placed on Image:Dscf0861a.jpg and Image:Pond04.jpg with "Pond one" and "Pond two". This is neither a source nor is it copyright information. Please let me know what your reasoning for this was. I've retagged the images. --Strangerer (Talk) 15:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alastair Campbell

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule 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. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. --Ronz 06:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little context in Anthony Wilson (guitarist)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Anthony Wilson (guitarist), by Closedmouth (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Anthony Wilson (guitarist) is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Anthony Wilson (guitarist), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 02:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
