[edit] Stations

Hi. I see you;'re adding some stations. Could you check out the format and links on some of the existing stations, and maybe follow the established pattern? Links from UK railway stations - C, for instance, point to existing station articles. Thanks. --Tagishsimon

[edit] Textiles

Definitely wants an update. There is quite a lot of good stuff in the [[1911 encyclopaedia]as a basis. If you don't have one I suggest you get a good ASCII text editor and download the raw texts from the EB onto pages on that. Work on it offline and then upload into the finished result into the Wiki editor for the final tweaking. I use note Tab Pro. The link I put on the bottom of thre textile pages a few days ago has a lot of very good stuff indeed on weaving Apwoolrich 17:36, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Copyrights, stubs, and the watchlist

Thanks for your questions on my talk page. I apologize for not responding more promptly, but I was away from Wikipedia for a while due to some personal issues. I don't have the time to fully answer your questions here, but, if you haven't already, I'd suggest asking at the Help desk where someone can help you better. Good luck!  – Jrdioko (Talk) 03:08, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Women as theological figures

Hi there- I noticed your plea for non-Western religion contributions on the Buddhism talk page. I've got a very rough sketch of a structure for the article as a whole on one of my scratch pages- take a look at User:Spasemunki/temp2 if you're so inclined. In terms of naming, I was thinking that maybe 'Women in Religion' was most appropriate- my personal bias is against using 'theology' since my primary intereset is Buddhism, and we're sort of short a 'theos' (I have seen 'Buddhology' used for consistancy from time to time, which I remain a bit ambivalent about). I'm wondering if you think what I have whomped together should start a seperate article, or if there is some good way to incorporate it with what's already on the WATF page. I'm sure that the Christian and Muslim sections are a bit pathetic, but it's mostly meant as a 'proof of concept'. --Clay Collier 11:15, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

I added the information from the shamanism article to the article Women as theological figures just as you suggested on the shamanism talk page.--Fang 23 (talk) 00:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Invasions of Earth in science fiction

Merged page into Alien invasion, as you requested. Sharaith 11:08, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gex

Could you add more detail about the compromise reached between Switzerland and France? If the info is only in French, I'd be happy to translate it. (I live in Gex!) UrsusMaximus 22:21, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] de:Schreibgerät

Hi, I was just thinking of removing this from the G-E translation request list (as the German article is just a series of interwiki links) and adding it to the E-G translation request list - is that OK with you? Saint|swithin 14:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Hillingdon Borough Libraries

Can 2.85.6.26 being the IP for the above be unblocked please - as it has been blocked for some time, and whoever set off the problem has surely gone away (while I want to contribute to Wikipedia). Jackiespeel 15:02, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I have been working away from the Internet for most of the past week, so I have only picked up your e-mail to me tonight/this morning. I have unblocked 82.198.250.77 as requested. I will ask you to keep an eye on the contributions from this IP address and alert an Administrator when signs of vandalism become apparent. Regards,  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  00:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
In relation to your comment here, you may want to have your say at this discussion. Thanks, Ansell 09:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Editing Wikipedia

As the two library systems I tend to use have a default status of blocked IPs, I will be doing much less with Wikipedia, until an alternative system is developed.

[edit] Hungarian Revolution of 1956

Hi Jackiespeel, long ago you were active in editing this article and even asked about its 50th anniversary. You may be interested to know it is a Featured article candidate now and we hope to see it up on the main page on 23 Oct. If you have a moment, perhaps you could browse by and give a review (its come a long way). Thanks in advance, Istvan 08:24, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Former Countries

I would like to invite you back to WikiProject Former countries. You were previously a member of its former incarnation WP Historical States. The objective of this project is still to improve the content and accessibility of articles on former countries. A taskforce for the states of the Holy Roman Empire has also been started and the child project on Prussia has also been revived. This restart is still in its early days but it would be great to have you back. - 52 Pickup 18:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Le Palais du Thés

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Le Palais du Thés, 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 "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). 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:Le Palais du Thés. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] Failed history

I don't see anything about Edward VIII coronation notepaper at Talk:Chiltern Hundreds. If you had replied on Talk:Failed history or my user talk page (instead of e-mailing me), I would have gotten back to you several months earlier... AnonMoos 11:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Failed history

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Failed history, 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 "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). 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 its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. —Mira 08:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Failed history

An article that you have been involved in editing, Failed history, has been listed by me at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Failed history. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. —Mira 07:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

  • It does not look like it is going to make it. I personally think it could make a good article if you could find reference to support it and make it more encyclopedic. Jeepday 04:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
  • This article is now on Wikinfo. Jackiespeel 21:52, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ruthenium (II) tris (bathophenantroline disulfonate)

You have requested cleanup of Ruthenium (II) tris (bathophenantroline disulfonate)

 Can someone translate this into something approaching English? Jackiespeel

I have read the article and I found it well written. Maybe it uses specialized language, but I consider that such kind of words should be common knowledge for someone who is looking for information about Ruthenium (II) tris (bathophenantroline disulfonate).

I have tagged the article as "insuficient context" {{context}}. If consider this is not applicable please modify it.

Will whoever wrote the above please sign it. The article does not make sense to anyone who is not familiar with the subject (as someone else has added)

[edit] Conservapedia

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. Please refrain from doing this in the future. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. VanTucky (talk) 18:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about with the archives business. You might try the WP:Help desk. VanTucky (talk) 22:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Centre for Future Studies

A tag has been placed on Centre for Future Studies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD a7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. ARendedWinter 15:28, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of AIM25

A tag has been placed on AIM25 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] January 2008

[edit] Skeleton in the Cupboard

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Skeleton in the Cupboard, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (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 discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, 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. BJBot (talk) 22:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


The main reason I have given on the PROD is that Wikipedia is not a dictionary - articles need to be more than just the definition of a word or phrase. Also, articles need to quote reliable sources to back up what they say. JohnCD (talk) 22:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

See my comment on the talk page. As with Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells sometimes a dicdef can be developed.

As the phrase is used regularly - and is the title of an episode of Yes Minister - there should be something on it - or at least a redirect to the relevant Wiktionary page (which itself could be expanded).

[edit] Women as theological figures Part 2

I made a section on Jainism as you requested, but as of right now it's pretty small because I could only think of three. If you contact some other WP:JAIN members, they'll probably bombard you with names, and I can help sort out the unimportant ones. Please, try to find any information you can. --Qmwne235 01:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Last of the Summer Wine are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. Redfarmer (talk) 00:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the alert

ON the Rupert of Hentzau page, you pointed out that the crisis of conscience link went somewhere unrelated. Thanks, and I've fixed it, but next time your eagle eyes spot an error of this sort, please be bold and edit away! BrainyBabe (talk) 12:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Last of the Summer Wine

Unless you can find a secondary source which includes such information, it would be considering original research and in violation of Wikipedia policies. Redfarmer (talk) 21:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I did not mean to offend you. However, the talk page of the article has been used for discussion before and, in all honesty, you didn't say anything about wanting to incorporate the information in an article-you simply said it was a passing observation. If I misinterpreted it, I apologize. Redfarmer (talk) 20:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
