[edit] {{Aircontent}}
FYI, I consider ANY unwanted changes to the userspace with my name (since I can't say "my userspace") to be vandalism. Vandlism is against WIkipedia POLICY - it's not a guideline, so how did I bereka my own rules?? Idiot. I know we didn't start off on the right foot today, but I did aplogize for it. Yet you insisted on redacting my userspace, like I was a common vandal, wtihout even the courtesy to appraoch me first liek a real adult would. If the wiki-break notice is a personal attack on my paer, then I'm sorry your feelings were hurt. I've had it today with people protecting the real vandals and abusers, then going after me like I'm worse than the vandals. Well, I've had it with idoits like you. And you really are stupid for nominating the largest airlines list. THere, now THAT was a REAL personal attack. GO get me blocked if you wish, but I'm gone from WIkipedia anyway. THought I may come back as an IP, since they get more respect than regular users from the likes of morons like you! - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.4.227.155 (talk • contribs)
- I have absolutely no idea what this is about, who this user is, or anything else about it. I did make some technical edits some time ago to this template, but that can't be it, surely? So anyone who can shed any light on this please do so. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 01:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

- Unfourtunately, I know EXACTLY what that is about. Thanks for the notice on my talk page. These are the actions of a Wikistalker that has been harrassing me and others who associate with me in any way since July 2007. Under Wikipedia rules, while these actions are not "officially allowed", Jimbo Wales will do nothing to change Wikipeida if it interferes with his stated religion belief of "open editing" at all costs. Also unforutunately, you are part of the cost. I'm sorry you were involved in this way, but there is absolutely nothing that can be done to stop people like this, and the stalkers know it. I'll do what I can to get an admin to clean up the mess. Thanks for the alert. - BillCJ (talk) 01:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

- As they say, Bill, shit happens. The best thing one can do with a mess like this is to document it and leave it, well documented, in plain sight. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eling Tide Mill
Thanks for sorting out the formatting of the references - yes, I like the way Wikipedia entries can constantly improve. I'd mentioned Southampton to explain why I was referring to a book with Southampton (not Eling) in its title, but I certainly don't have strong views about including it.

[edit] RE:note RE: Spam
I want to apologize if I have given you some concern regard links to reportpollution.com. Please know I have not posted them in the context of spam under any circumstances.
I am seriously concerned about ship source pollution and want persons who are researching such matters, like seafarers, of which I am one, to note that there is a method to help end this epidemic that's destroying our oceans.
Please email me at admin@reportpollution.com to discuss further as I will be glad to amplify my concerns. Perhaps then you won't consider these links as spam.
Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reportpol (talk • contribs)

[edit] PSW/TSW UBXs!
Hi Tim,
Just thought you might like to have a look at the TSW and PSW userboxes - there on my user page!
Also, would you mind filling in the appropriate info at Image:PlaneSpottingWorld logo.png and Image:TrainSpottingWorld logo.png - I tried my best!
Thanks,
- I think you need to place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask a passing friendly giant to help. I have done my best and also failed 22:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Eling Tide Mill
Hi Tim.
On 19th October 2007, you made an edit to this article, changing the text from:
- It is the sole remaining tide mill in the UK, with a pair of independent waterwheels designed to drive a millstone each.
to:
- It is the sole remaining tide mill in the UK which has a pair of independent waterwheels designed to drive a millstone each.
thus changing the meaning rather.
Other articles (eg. Tide mill) say that Eling is the only working tide mill in the UK, irrespective of wheel configuration, thus agreeing with the first meaning. I'm wondering if this change in meaning was deliberate. -- Chris j wood (talk) 13:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

- The configiration is that it has a pair of waterwheels. Each of those wheels drives (drove) a single pair of stones. It may be beneficial, if you are correct about it being the sole remaining tide mill (of any sort), to make it even clearer. Go for it. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 14:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of List of King George V Playing Fields (County Antrim)
I have nominated List of King George V Playing Fields (County Antrim), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of King George V Playing Fields (County Antrim). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital
Hi! I am attempting to sort out the Newhaven, East Sussex article, and have come across the above hospital. Following back from the reference within a connected article (Tide Mills, East Sussex, it soon became obvious what a tortured series of articles told the story of Grace Timmins and her philanthropic work! I found myself travelling trhrough Chailey Heritage and then to Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital; there is also the Guild of Play and the Guild of Poor Brave Things. I see that you have made some changes to one of the articles, but is does seem an important subject, so I wondered why it needed all those articles? I am sure you would agree! Peter Shearan (talk) 14:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- "Need" is an interesting word. I think the various topics cover so much ground that each article is expandable into a very much more complete article, so I would say that, while the current articles may have insufficient detail, they are they type of article that a casual surfer would probably search for and expect or hope to see.
- That doesn't mean that I hold an intransigent view on the concept of consolidating where appropriate, but I would expect editors to be able to achieve that by using redirects rather than nominating for deletion. I either created or added to a number of those articles in the fond hope that "a start is needed, and others will follow" and so it proves.
- It was not just Grace Timmins, of course, but a great many others who passed through and shared her vision. They linked into the West London Methodist Mission, and a whole slew of suffragettes and suffragists. And the Guilds of brave things and of play are very different beasts and warrant their own articles.
- I can see why you hope to rationalise in some way. I could not see how to achieve that, and I can see the challenge that you are facing. I would say "remember that part of the fun of WP is following strange hyperlinks, and also that disk space is very cheap."
