[edit] Removal of hidden message from the Birmingham article

I noticed that you removed the hidden message from the Birmingham article with regards to the second city claim. I put that there and it was not to protect the claim because I was biased but because the article is subject to regular vandalism as a result of the claim. This hidden message was there to try and prevent any vandalism. The hidden message encouraged editors to discuss the issue on the talk page so an appropriate decision could be reached.

I have not reverted your edit has I have no problems with it but I felt I had to explain the need for the template. - Erebus555 17:48, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ephebophile theme

Hi there Ravenhurst. I see you have creted a new category, but with only one work. Naturally you can add any number of works to your category, but none will be moved from pedophile theme. That is because to a majority of people (researchers/experts/the general public) pedophilia includes ephebophilia. Ephebophilia is not a work in anything like as common a usage as pedophilia. We have had this debate on Wikipedia and have also had the pedophilia/pederasty debate! ps it should correctly be ephebophile theme not ephebophilia theme... Tony 18:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Tony

[edit] European Union categories

Hi! You recently nominated a number of categories I created pertaining to the European Unon for renaming. If you happen to nominate any other categories in the future, whether they be created by me or not, could you please notify the creator of the category so they can provide their input? I wish I had been able to comment before some of them had closed and was not aware of the nominations until I browsed their root category this afternoon. Thanks! --Hemlock Martinis 23:34, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deprivation in Buckinghamshire

I have restored the deprivation comment, and referenced it. There are wards in the High Wycombe urban area that are among the 20% most deprived areas in the country. -- Roleplayer (talk) 18:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

You really have to be very left wing to think that is a valid definition of deprivation. It is about inequality, rather than deprivation, and was purposely and cynically devised by left-wingers to enable them to claim that there is deprivation everywhere. Ravenhurst (talk) 12:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
The source is a good one and says that it is an area of deprivation, and I've worked in the area as a local government representative and can assure you there are areas of deprivation in High Wycombe. To a large extent it is about inequality as well, for example living in an expensive area where housing and council tax take up most of your budget, there is very little spare cash left behind to enjoy life with. But to say that the definition of deprivation in a Tory council document is "very left wing" is laughable. -- Roleplayer (talk) 18:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
