[edit] US Airways

US Airways does not have hubs at PHX or LAS. Those are America West hubs. The two airlines are different for now. That's why your change was reverted. Vegaswikian 02:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Tommy23 please discuss the rationale first on the talk page before removal of the template on the EU countries. Djegan 19:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't unilaterally remove templates, Tommy. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 20:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bacon

I reverted your edit for the reasons given in the edit summary. Also, the term rashers is defined/used in another paragraph near the top of the article. OscarTheCat 20:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Hi, thank you for adding articles into categories. Unfortunately, I think you went beyond what Wikipedia expects, and I have removed some of your changes. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Categorization for policies, especially "Articles should not usually be in both a category and its subcategory." and "Restraint should be used as categories become less effective the more there are on any given article. ". Thanks! Notinasnaid 07:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:T Haas.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:T Haas.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Team_GB.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Team_GB.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Call for consensus on fan site list on Andy Murray page

Hello Tommy23,

You've probably noticed my (probably foolhardy) attempt to resolve the edit war on the Andy Murray page regarding fansites. The protagonists do not look about to resolve it among themselves, so I'd appreciate it if you and other regular editors could express your views on this part of the page, so that we can stop the war going forward, or at least block a protagonist who persists in it. Please come to the talk page here

The questions I've put are:

Please can I have the opinions of those who regularly edit this site:

1.Should there be a list of fansites?

2.Should it be ordered

a) alphabetically
b) by site's popularity or quality
c) by some other factor

3. If by popularity/quality how to judge this?

Thanks RobbieC 21:09, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categorisation of UK airports

reference

I take it you refering to my reverts earlier today with remove the duplicate categories that were added to a number of UK airports yesterday. This is nothing to do with Scotland, or being Scottish - you'll notice most airports were actually in England, Wales or the London area.

I don't know how much familiarity you have with the categorisation system, but categories are a hierarchy. Please read Wikipedia:Category, and subpages, and also have a thorough browse of some different category trees - eg. start at Category:Fundamental. There you will see that articles are not entered in both a category and its parent. For example Category:Airports in Scotland is a subcat of Category:Airports in the United Kingdom, therefore we do not need to enter it in both: by being in the Scottish subcat it is already in the UK-wide cat. Same for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the London region.

I tried to leave a comment about this on User talk:72.80.169.118 this morning, but the page is blocked from editing.

You'll find leaving threats is unlikely to get you anywhere.

Thanks/wangi 14:38, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

There is no such position as 'moderator' on Wikipedia, and even if there were incivil threats that make guesses about editor's politics are not welcome. Comment on the content, not the contributor. Thank you. --Sam Blanning(talk) 15:48, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I will take that into consideration.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommy23 (talk • contribs) 2006-07-12 17:17:53

By the way it's normal practice to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes - ~~~~. And to not remove warnings :) I've added a welcome note to the top of your page which has links to other helpful pages. Thanks/wangi 16:22, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you anyway but I do not need a welcome thing as I have been useing Wikipedia for a long time. User:Tommy23 3:29 BST, 13 July 2006

[edit] AfD Nomination: MurraysWorld.com

I've nominated the article MurraysWorld.com for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that MurraysWorld.com satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MurraysWorld.com. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of MurraysWorld.com during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. --Iamunknown 00:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Please accept my apologies for notifying you late. As I thought would be cordial and civil, I intended to notify you before you discovered the article was nominated for deletion, but you beat me to it.

As im sure you will see the reason for deletion has been resolved. Thanks and no hard feelings User:Tommy23

[edit] Why are you posting under two accounts?

Tommy, I have two questions for you:

  1. Why are you posting under two accounts?
  2. Why did you change your birthday (on your user page, see the diff) from "1/12/82 or December 1st 1982" to "1/12/82 or December 1st 1982"?

I am particularly concerned about the first issue. EvocativeIntrigue reverted the initial comment posted by 72.89.173.71 because he or she impersonated you, but you promptly posted the exact same comment under your name here. From this I inferred that you and 72.89.173.71 are the same users. Similarly, in the AfD nomination for MurraysWorld.com, 72.89.173.71 posted the first comment, but under your name. Same with the next comment, the next one and the next one. Again, I assume that you are posting under two accounts, because you posted the same commment from your own account as the impersonated comment which EvocativeIntrigue reverted. Please post from a single account, and sign your posts by adding --~~~~ to the end. If you end up posting from an IP address, sign your comments with that IP address; if you post from your user name, sign your comments with that user name. Do not post with an IP address and then proceed to sign it with your user name. It will be less confusing for you, for me, for every other user, and you will not be in violation of the policy concerning Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. --Iamunknown 02:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that...but many people forget to sign in. Sorry again. User:Tommy23
Tommy, you've done it again :) You do not manually sign your talk page posts, all you need to do is type four tilde characters (i.e. ~~~~) and the site itself will expand it to your username and the current time. Thanks/wangi 03:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
sorry....Tommy23 03:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry but I fixed your band userboxes, hope you didn't mind, and that you like my Catholic one (lol I didn't finish formatting the size) PatPeter 00:51, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Lisa Murtagh

A tag has been placed on Lisa Murtagh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
