[edit] Changing a page title

I got your e-mail. Changing a page title is easy. Click on that "move" tab at the top of the article. Put in the correct title, and put the appropriate reason (perhaps "spelling" or "capitalization".) You may want to consider whether "constable" should be always capitalized. ("I saw the constable get out of the car" vs. "I saw Constable Smith get out of the car".) I'm thinking that "Auxiliary constable" might be better. Have fun!

[edit] Getting Kendal to featured article status

I see you've made some edits to Kendal in the past and I was wondering if you would like to try and get the article to featured article status? I've set up a subpage which can be found at Kendal/featured article to create the new page in (I've done this so the Kendal entry doesn't get distrupted whilst all the alterations are made), I've also put some suggsted headers in place (I've had a look at the Weymouth page, as this is featured article status. Let me know if your interested and we'll take it from their, cheers RyanPostlethwaiteSee the mess I've created or let's have banter 16:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Legion of Frontiersmen

Hey, Pandaplodder. I've done some reading on these guys, and have had the article on my to-do list forever. But recently, a thread on a military web forum dedicated to exposing the LoF as a Walter Mitty group, led to the wiki article being targeted for vandalism. I think they've realized that their efforts were reverted because it was vandalism and not because I'm a LoF faithful, and it's been improved somewhat so that they've laid off. Anyway, I saw a post of yours to the policespecials site linked somewhere in that thread enquiring about this organization.

I've seen very little mentioned about them serving as specials in published materials, probably because 95% of that is published by themselves, and their history has been one of trying to get recognition as a legit paramilitary outfit in their own right (hence the walter mitty venom from the regulars). As for serving as specials, they supplied mounted troops in London during WWI, both to provide extra security in case of a German invasion and to compensate for police that went off to fight. These would have been the members who were ineligible for the army because of age limits and/or disabilities.

In the archival research I've been doing in Vancouver, it appears they were revived here in the 1930s to fight communism, i.e., striking longshoremen, but there's no indication that they mobilized as anything other than specials in that campaign. I get the impression that they would have joined the strikebreaking efforts in the UK police strikes of 1918 and 1919, and probably the 1926 general strike as well, but again probably as specials, not an independent unit. One of the documents I found was a letter from a former Vancouver Chief Constable, who previously had been a district commander for the Met to the commissioner of the RCMP describing (and probably exaggerating) his role in organizing London specials during the war and the general strike. At the time of the letter, he was leading LoF drills in Vancouver and offering to organize the Legion of Frontiersmen into an RCMP auxiliary across the country. I don't think he was taken up on his offer, but this was shortly before the LoF did affiliate with the RCMP, and not long before the Mounties established its first permanent auxiliary. Anyway, I'm not sure how far your interest in this stuff goes, but just thought I'd share what I've come across. Bobanny 08:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Outward Bound

Hello Pandaplodder, as per the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks), we do not include the ™ and ® symbols in titles or in pages. You also performed a cut-and-paste move on the article which should not be done because the edit history of a page must be kept so that Wikipedia complies with the licence the site uses. There is a 'move' button along the top of the page which can be used to move pages, which moves the edit history of a page as well as the contents. See Help:Moving a page for more. I have restored the original article and requested that the ™ title be deleted. Please ask if you have any questions. Thanks, mattbr 16:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] coursework4you.co.uk references

Hello Pandaplodder. I noticed on the SWOT analysis and PEST analysis articles that you added some references to the coursework4you.co.uk site. We've been having a big external linkspam problem with that site and it is very possible that coursework4you.co.uk is going to be blacklisted in the near future. Is it possible to find another site to use as a reference? Thanks. (Requestion 22:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Notability of Professor Cary Cooper CBE

A tag has been placed on Professor Cary Cooper CBE, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) 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.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Cyrus Andiron t/c 12:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wilfing

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from an article. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Jazznutuva 10:02, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I am not insinuating you are a new user... I was merely pointing out it seemed more suitable for the Wiktionary. Remember a transwiki into the Wiktionary does not delete the article from Wikipedia. If you are intent on proliferating this page... the best would probably be to allow the transwiki process to take place which will put it on two separate databases.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Cimcourses.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cimcourses.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Armstrong (human resources)

This article was proposed for deletion (by another editor). I removed the proposed deletion tag because I think the publication may be sufficient for notability, but I advise you that this may be difficult to show unless you can find reviews for the books, or show that they are widely used as textbooks. Please try to find it and add the infrmation to the article to prevent it being nominated for AfD. DGG (talk) 07:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
