[edit] Church of England parish church

Hi GR. Can you please add some additional information as to why St. Andrew's Church in Plymouth is of particular note. Thanks. Verica Atrebatum 07:57, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi - I've got to admit I'm working by exception here. Plymouth was in the original list that I shipped across; I haven't seen a good reason for saying that it's NOT of note; both times it has been removed have coincided with other edits in that part of the article, so I conclude - the removal was accidental - there is no good reason to remove it - so it shouold be reintroduced.

I hope I'm not over-interpreting your remark! To try and meet the other possible explanation (ie that there is no explanation of why it is of merit) I will do little bit of light editing in a moment or two...

Thanks for the advice!

Cheers

Hi GR. I had actually removed both the Liverpool and Plymouth entries deliberately. My worry is that the list will become totally overpopulated and thus meaningless. I have already left a suggestion on the article's talk page concerning this. As most CofE churches are notable in some way, I have suggested that those listed are only the most notable of all, preferably only those given three, four or five stars in Jenkins' 'England's Thousand Best Churches'. If some such criteria are not set, everyone creating an article for their local church will add it to the list. What do you think? Verica Atrebatum 08:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Hmm. I hadn't looked at the Talk page. My apologies - and I will put most of an equivalent comment to this there so it's easier for others to find. But while I share your concern about the list growing too long, I think you are possibly applying a rather limited criterion in only considering the architecture of churches. So I'm adding a little bit of text to why (in my opinion - and I know it can be edited back out!) churches might be considered of interest, and adding a few examples.
Many thanks once again, not just for the care you are spending on this article, but for the time and effort you're putting in on educating me! Grblundell 08:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Schools in Berkshire

You moved Mary Hare Grammar School into the independent school section. Even though it's non-maintained, it is still a state school. Surely this means it should be in the grammar school section? robertvan1 18:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The school's page shouldn't be taken as correct, the [{Department for Children, Schools and Families]] lists the school as such: [1] and directgov lists it as scuch: [2]. On the DCSF site, it states clearly 'IND' on the list and directgov states 'State, special school, non-maintained special'. I believe that the DCSF and directgov are both government related and more reliable sources that the school's own website, do you disagree? robertvan1 20:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I made a typo there. On the DSCF site, if the school was an independent school it would say 'IND'. So if we compare Mary Hare to a school we is indisputably independent, say Downe House you can see here that it states 'IND' rather prominently. robertvan1 20:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Peter John Haworth Doyle, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.catholicassociation.co.uk/groups/northbish.shtml. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

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 08:37, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jim Murphy

Hi, I just wanted to say well done reverting the deletions of content by Eastren07 (talk · contribs) from Jim Murphy and from Talk:Jim Murphy. I ahve added a formal warning on User talk:Eastren07.

My watchlist is fairly crowded, so I may not spot any further vandalism. If you spot any further vandalism before I do, please could you drop me a note?

Meanwhile, I have deleted the section which you and I agreed should go, out of WP:BLP concerns. It seems to me to better that an article should be incomplete than to risk it being labelled as an attack page. But we can discuss that at Talk:Jim Murphy#Neutrality. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

More deletions, so I went to ANI: see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Eastren07_deleting_material. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re Slough Trading Estate

Do you have the book The History of Slough by Maxwell Fraser? Only I noticed you added the book as a reference to the History of Slough article, and some of us at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Greater Manchester are wondering if Slough Trading Estate really is the first industrial estate in the world as we have a reference for another place as being the first. Trafford Park, a good 20 years earlier. I think this may be a case of different sources using different criteria for industrial estates. If not nevermind. Thanks.

[edit] St Joesphs primary school bracknell

Howdy. I noticed that in your edit summary for this edit to St Joesphs primary school bracknell you asked how to rename an article without redirecting it. I suspect you are wanting to move this article to a properly-spelled title (perhaps St Joseph's Primary School, Bracknell or St Joseph's Primary School Bracknell). To move an article, first visit the article. You should see a tab marked "move" near the "edit" and "history" tabs. You can use this to move the article. This will create a redirect from the old title to the new title, but the redirect can be deleted later if necessary. If you'd like me to move the page for you, just let me know what you want the new title to be and I'll take care of it. You may also find Help:Moving a page useful.
