[edit] Autochthonous/indigenous

I don't mind either way as to autochthonous/indigenous for the languages in question. I reverted because they're not all Celtic. If you think indigenous languages reads better, by all means go ahead and edit accordingly, as far as I am concerned. Authochthonously yours, Man vyi 18:12, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taverner Consort and Players - establishment date

Richard, thanks for the notes at my talk page; I had failed to take proper note of the first one - my apologies. I have recatted Taverner Consort and Players from Category:Musical groups established in 1978 to Category:1970s establishments. If a clear year for the group's establishment can be identified then it would be good to re-cat the article to the appropriate musical groups establishment cat. As and when I (or someone else) get around to building the decade cats for musical groups establishments then the problem, if it still exists, will be solved. Greenshed 19:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your contributions to How Buildings Learn

Hi Richard,

I see you made a few edits to How Buildings Learn last year. I'm playing around with a few paragraphs to add to the article. I've put them in the talk section for the time being. Would you take a look? Thanks, --Joesydney 11:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Joe, can't find your paragraphs, where exactly are they? --RichardVeryard 14:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Ugh! Sorry Richard. I worked on these last night. I (thought I had) put them in the discussion section, rather than the article itself because I was treating them as a draft. I must have failed to save them. Should I get back to you if I have another go? --Joesydney 09:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I look forward to it. I have How Buildings Learn on my watchlist, so I'll spot any changes there. --RichardVeryard 11:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cape Clear (software company)

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Cape Clear (software company), 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. Ioannes Pragensis 13:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I have put a note onto the Talk page for this article, and also added some references to an independent evaluation by Forrester Research. My view is that this company is at least as notable as others in the same category. --RichardVeryard 15:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Service engineering

I think it'd be polite for me to inform you that I have nominated Category:Service engineering, Category:Service engineering products and Category:Service engineering vendors for deletion. This is nothing personal, but I still fail to see any substantial proof that this concept of "service engineering" has any generally accepted meaning. --Pkchan 10:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

These categories replaced by Category:Service-oriented (business computing) --RichardVeryard (talk) 19:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Lewis Mumford (1895-1990)

Architectural critic, urban planner, and historian. Check out amazon.com for references to 18 of his books. Most important is probably Technics and Civilization (1934). Also, see Encyclopedia Britannica.

[edit] Bultitude

Hi, the no 6 is marked under the bow hair, and yes, the Tudor rose is in many (but not all) of Bultitude's bows. Thanks! --Bowsbows 20:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of The School of Computing (RGU)

An article that you have been involved in editing, The School of Computing (RGU), has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The School of Computing (RGU). Thank you. Carlossuarez46 16:54, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

  • I notified all authors except anons who seem to never be who they were the next time they log in anyway, without regard to quantity of edits, so that no one would accuse me of canvassing. Carlossuarez46 17:16, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Somerset project & Scope

Thanks for pointing out the inappropriate tagging of the article about Trevor Pinch with the Somerset wikiproject banner.

I have moved your comment to the talk page & responded:

Sorry for that. I agree that alumni of the University of Bath may well be outside the wiki project. I should have checked the categories more closely before requesting the bot to run. I have now asked for it to exclude:

Also the Bot will now exclude articles in the Devon wikiproject which fall within the Exemoor category. Again apologies I should have checked.— Rod talk 14:17, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitraged hamburgers

I enjoyed your Ghetto latte article. This is very interesting. Could you tell me more about the Arbitraged hamburgers, please? Jecowa (talk) 07:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I think I just found the forum that mentions this while reading the webpages you listed in the external links section of the Ghetto latte article.[1] It mentions a regular hamburger being upgraded to a Whopper Jr for about half the price. Jecowa (talk) 08:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. I have clarified the references to make explicit the source for the hamburger arbitrage. --RichardVeryard (talk) 11:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Command and control

Hi there, Thought you'd be interested to know that I just added Category:Command and control as a parent cat for Category:Nuclear command and control, which I had created back in July '07. A nice matchup, if I do say so myself. I had my hands full with the nuclear aspects of the subject when I set up Category:Nuclear command and control and didn't take the obvious next step of creating Category:Command and control, so it was a nice surprise to find it just now.

[edit] User:RichardVeryard

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article User:RichardVeryard, 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) 22:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I had created some pages on Squidoo, as somewhere I could assemble links and other material on Service Engineering and other topics, which might not be appropriate for Wikipedia. (Some material I had added to WP on service engineering was deleted, on the grounds that service engineering was not notable enough.) I included a link to these pages from my User Page, in case anyone was interested in looking at what I was working on. Someone called JzG deleted this link on the grounds it was blacklisted (I was not aware of this), and added a PROD template for good measure, claiming that my user page was "apparently abandoned". Well it isn't, so there. --RichardVeryard (talk) 12:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A new Oxbridge user box

RichardVeryard...I am currently in the process of writing a user box for all of the colleges that are part of Oxbridge. This template is meant to replace your current college template. Please take a look at the work in progress and comment on it. My main concerns are college abbreviations and color choice. I am using scarf colors for the colleges. Thank you. - LA @ 17:14, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
