[edit] 1981 Irish hunger strike

Please see the discussion on the talk page and revert your edit. There was more than one attack, see the March 1978 details. One Night In Hackney303 16:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

That is not obvious from the Dirty protest article --Rumping 16:41, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi Rumping! Thanks for the welcome message! I wil try to behave well on Wikipedia and be a good boy. P.S. Squilton for men. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.118.10.166 (talk) 07:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

I have reinstated the redirect from List A cricket to Limited overs cricket. The reasons are given in the edit notice. It seems you think the number of links to the stub justify keeping it but this is not the case. The fact is that it was a stub that was not being expanded and it was superfluous to the main article, which encapsulates all its content.

We do not keep articles for the sake of it. If anyone searches for ListA they will immediately find all they need at Limited overs. --BlackJack | talk page 08:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I think this redirect was wrong, since there were substantial incoming links and the content was not in the target of the redirect. I also think that you were wrong to repeat the redirect a second time when you knew you didn't have consensus. At the very least you should have merged the content. --Rumping 17:04, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing to your recent vandalism [1]--Rumping 21:49, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] RE: 'Conributions'

Oh, I never noticed that; anyway it isn't my writing in the first place :) HarrisonB - Conributions 08:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why *?

Hey Rumping. How's that you caught that so quickly? These categories are odd things to have on your watch list. At any rate, I was trying to have all 5 subcategories of People from North Holland to show on the first page. Currently only Zaanstad is on the second, and, despite the warning that other subcategories may appear on other pages, I find it very likely that people assume that the four they see is all there is (and subsequently categorize people from Zaanstad as "People from North Holland", think someone is not in wikipedia, etc.). Any idea why the subcategories are spread over the pages and how else one can avoid that? When the number of members is large, a subcategory currently may be completely obscured. Afasmit 15:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I was looking for vandalism, though I accept your changes were not. I also spotted the issue you raised - you wmight want to contribute at Wikipedia talk:Categorization#Large categories and subcategories --Rumping 15:51, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Large Hadron Collider

You mean the Large Hardon Collider. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.213.50.88 (talk) 23:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Strangely enough, I did not. Distorting my message on your talk page [2] hardly adds to your credibility. --Rumping 23:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your Recent Edits to the St. John Ambulance Article

The Original Barnstar
For doing what I've meant to do but never found the time to, and probably doing it a lot better than I ever could - restructuring the St. John Ambulance article to take the emphasis away from the order of St. John, and towards the society as it actually operates now. Thank you. TheIslander 15:36, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Typo.

Thanks for fixing that typo. :) · AndonicO Talk 16:22, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Wonder what is up with that IP... It *did* used to be .gov, but now it seems to be just another Sprint IP... Proxy User (talk) 23:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, seeing you have been involved in the previous RM discussion, I thought you might be interested in this one too, cheers. BanRay 12:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Henry Bottomley

I find it difficult to see how there was a consensus to delete when only 3 out of 7 comments actually voted delete. Feel free to reply here. --Rumping (talk) 17:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I noticed you didn't give an explanation of your decision in this {{afd}} either. Geo Swan (talk) 21:14, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
The majority of the comments that were presented were in favor of deletion. The person in questions did not have any citations to notable sources, nor major press coverage involved. There is a consensus to delete, not a huge one, although I could argue that this could of been leaning toward no consensus. If you can address some of the issues presented I am willing to reconsider. Sorry for not making a closing statement, I think I should of have in this case since the consensus was not clearly drawn. Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 02:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
The majority of votes were not in favour of deletion. And the notable sources would have been in the 1980s during his political career. --Rumping (talk) 16:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
If you think there are notable sources in the 1980s, then please find it? If what you said is true then there should be sources in your local university library, or at least somewhere you should be able to find the sources for, if you can do that, then feel more than welcome to recreate the page. However, only if you could address the concerns that were bought up on the AfD. I would seriously encourage you to read the deletion guidelines the nominator used for deletion, which is WP:BIO, and this guideline is supported by the consensus.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:LondonSE

A tag has been placed on Template:LondonSE requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 04:26, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Interval arithmetic

Hi, can you please move the text that is in German into your userspace, such as User:Rumping/Interval arithmetic and translate it there? We are feeding complaints from people about the article being in another language and as this is the English Wikipedia there should be no other languages in any articles. Thanks! -Pilotguy contact tower 19:12, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I am slowly translating this in parts, but if somebody else wishes to contribute, I suspect that they are more likely to find it at the current location. If somebody removes the remaining German text then they are free to do so, but that would make it less likely to ever be finished. Moving it to userspace would be too much of WP:OWN in my view. --Rumping (talk) 10:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
