I notice you're writing a lot about "constituencies" in the London Borough of Hackney. Isn't the term really "wards"? David | Talk 19:55, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Why not Brownswood (Hackney ward)? David | Talk 22:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Names

Just curious as to why you talk to me as "Steve" when my name is David. David | Talk 22:23, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hackney North and Stoke Newington

Hi - I removed the information on representatives of other constituencies because we have other articles covering them. The article on Hackney North and Stoke Newington should focus on the current constituency, with perhaps a brief summary of the area's earlier representation. If you think an article covering the history of representation of Hackney would be useful, perhaps it could be included in an article on the politics of Hackney or even the history of Hackney.

[edit] Carlsberg

Hey. I removed your probably reference from the lead section on Carlsberg, for two reasons; 1. It's not very encyclopedic and 2. we can't expect all users reading the page to understand the joke. Thus, it can easily confuse the reader. Drop me a line. Prolog 19:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tewksbury

Please don't take offence, but it looks to me that you don't know that disambiguation pages are formatted differently from article pages - disambiguation pages have their own manual of style. The idea is that anyone who reaches the Tewksbury page won't be looking for Gloucestershire or England, so only the possible "Tewksbury"s should be linked.

It's only fair that I should explain to you why I have reverted your edits to Tewksbury. CarolGray 08:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] W. S. Gilbert: Double quotes vs. Single quotes

I'm not sure which is more correct between things like "fairy comedies" and 'fairy comedies'. The first looks a bit better to me, but I was raised in America (even if I live in Britain now) and British punctuation is preferred on British pages. Is this a standard I haven't noticed? Adam Cuerden talk 16:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Important to know these things, because the American/British divide on punctuation &c has so many little semi-obscure bits that it's hard to keep track of them all. And I fear Im probably a horrible mishmash of the two as yet. Ach, weel! Adam Cuerden talk 14:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hackney South and Shoreditch

I just set up ward pages for the south of the boro' (for completeness, if it was somewhat tedious). Since I'm now blind to the results of my cut and paste, I wonder if you could run a critical eye over the articles, should you have a chance. Cheers. Kbthompson 09:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stoke Newington

I have a question. You just added the category "People from Stoke Newington" to Anna Laetitia Barbauld. Is the category defined as being born in Stoke Newington or just living in Stoke Newington? I thought those categories were "born in" categories and Barbauld wasn't born in Stoke Newington. Just want to be sure. Awadewit Talk 11:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial use of Image:Hackney Labour Party 06.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Hackney Labour Party 06.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Hackney Labour Party 06.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Hackney Labour Party 06.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:27, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent edits

Please do not remove categories from article, as you did for multiple British 1st Armored Division lists. Please do not add {{incomplete-list}} to the top of categories. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you. --Hemlock Martinis 19:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Natland (ward)

First, please don't directly edit closed deletion discussions; they're maintained as a historical record. As for the state of the article:

  1. If you don't have new material right away, but would like to work on the article at your leisure, I can restore the article in your user space as a subpage.
  2. Alternatively, if you actually do have an expanded, more thoroughly sourced article on the subject that meets notability guidelines, you're welcome to re-create the article; substantially different content that addresses the concerns in the deletion discussion, especially content that is backed by new sources, is not bound by previous discussions that applied to the old material. (However, repostings of substantially similar content that was deleted by AfD are speedily deletable.)

Do either of these options work for you? — TKD::Talk 22:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lists of members of parliament

Hi Jed, I see that you have been adding MPs elected in the United Kingdom general election, 1959 and a series of articles to Category:Lists of members of parliament.

These articles are already categorised in Cat:MPs elected in UK elections, which is one a series of sub-categories of Category:Lists of members of parliament. Adding the articles to a parent category so far up the tree is regarded as a form of overcategorisation, so I am areverying your changes. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Se a few suggestions at Talk:List of Labour Party Members of Parliament in London. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I have just spotted another, rather serious problem with this list: see Talk:List of Labour Party Members of Parliament in London. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of List of London Borough Labour Parties

I have nominated List of London Borough Labour Parties, 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/List of London Borough Labour Parties. 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. --Snigbrook (talk) 20:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
