[edit] Werner Greeff

Hey, I saw you created Werner Greeff so I did a bit of copy-edit and expansion and nominated it at Template talk:Did you know. If you ever create an article large enough, you should consider nominating it yourself for Did you know (DYK). - Shudde talk 23:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Shudde. I saw your edits -- very helpful for pointing me in the right direction Jimmy Pitt (talk) 23:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 8 January 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ali Williams, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Copy-n-Paste Moves

Please do not make copy-n-paste moves as you did with Eggs, Beans, and Crumpets to Eggs, Beans and Crumpets. Copy-n-paste moves shouldn't be done as they disassociate the edit history which causes GFDL compliance issues. You should move pages instead. I have fixed this one. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 22:32, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that problem. I'll know better next time. - Jimmy Pitt (talk) 23:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crossing Paths

I think you and I were crossing paths on vandal patrol because you warned me on something I didn't originally do. :) I was rolling back an edit that was vandalism. Jmanigold (talk) 01:05, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Twin Elm Rugby Park

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Twin Elm Rugby Park, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.eorurugby.com/terp. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

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) 15:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discovery (observation)

I've asked an admin to see if he can do something about that character who keeps placing that bizarre essay into the article. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 14:50, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Good! You're probably as fed up with him as I am. Did you mention to the admin that he seems to be using a couple of IPs as well as his user account? Jimmy Pitt (talk) 14:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I did. He has already permanently blocked the actual user ID. IP addresses are trickier because admins don't like to do long blocks of IP's that various people might be using. They usually put a short-term block on them. I expect the admin will just keep an eye on the situation and take appropriate action. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 14:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
The admin also blocked the two IP's, for 3 days. We'll see what happens. The one item that guy uploaded -- Image:The22DISCOVERY.pdf -- isn't that the old Adobe symbol? I've asked the admin about it. I'm guessing he'll mark it for speedy delete, or ask me to. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 15:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
It's an Adobe-format document which is the contents of that stuff he keeps trying to post. Since he claims it as his own work, that means it's Original Research and can't be used. If it's someone else's work, then it's a copyright violation... and can't be used. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 15:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I could see it wasn't an image, so wasn't too keen on opening it. Even if it was legitimate, it's in the wrong place. Should be delete IMO. Jimmy Pitt (talk) 15:55, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
The admin reminded me that that's the way any Adobe document appears. I downloaded it to read it. It's the same strangely-worded rant that the guy was trying to post. It might have been OK if the wording of it made any sense. Ironically, it's about "Intelligent Design". The admin is helping me come up with an appropriate deletion-nomination tag.

[edit] It is the correct usage in the UK

The other variation is incorrect for usage in the UK. Alexsanderson83 (talk) 00:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is international. You should seek consensus, not impose your personal view as you have done on dozens of rugby pages. Jimmy Pitt (talk) 00:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

The Manual of Style is wrong "lbs" is the correct form in the UK. The Economist is not really a British publication. As the article says half the copies are sold in the US.GordyB (talk) 23:09, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

The pluralisation of the lb is only to be applied for human height, 0 & 1 not being pluralised. This is they way of things in the UK, just seems silly that an edit war was started over the matter.Londo06 11:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. In my experience the avoirdupois pound is not used to measure height. Jimmy Pitt (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alfred Goodwyn

We both recently helped expand the Pelham von Donop article. I have now created an article about his Royal Engineers colleague, Alfred Goodwyn. Are you able to add anything about his military career? Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 07:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll see what I can do. Jimmy Pitt (talk) 23:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rugby Calendar

Could you add 2008 mid-year rugby test series and 2008 Autumn internationals to the navbox? Ta Mjefm (talk) 13:47, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Done. - Jimmy Pitt (talk) 13:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Faust up to Date

Thanks for the excellent additions to this article. Can you add anything to other early works of musical theatre? Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
