[edit] Thanks for the welcome message

Many thanks for the welcome message. I live in Sheffield and am very interested in Architecture, British Motorcycles, Travel, Firth Park and many other things. Maybe there will be a Wikimeet in Sheffield one day? If so I look forward to meeting with you.

[edit] April Fool's DYK nomination

You added Desmond Lardner-Burke at the last minute. How about nominating it in the regular section because I think we're good. We ended up doing only 2 DYK updates today. It's not particularly funny IMHO, but it's an interesting hook compared to many noms. Royalbroil 19:34, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I hope that you use that hook for DYK, it's interesting! Royalbroil 00:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Monday Club

Well done on the research, what's your source, out of interest?--Counter-revolutionary (talk) 07:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Seems accurate. Sudeley has stepped down (in Feb. I think), so there's currently no chairman (he's still a member), a new one shall be decided upon soon I think. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 19:49, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Busy next Sunday?

Meetup? Hope it's not too short notice. Majorly (talk) 14:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] !

On 6 April 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Desmond Lardner-Burke, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Edinburgh-Scotland map

Any chance you'd know how to edit Template:Location map Edinburgh to allow the full Scotland map to appear at the main Edinburgh article? It seems to have been changed in the last few days; having searched I have no idea why, although I'm not particularly adept at these things! Cheers. --Schcambo^{aon scéal?} 19:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moving LIBERAL YOUTH -> Liberal Youth

Thanks for the fix. I'm only a casual user; it's impossible to keep up with all the subtleties of the site. MatthewWilkes (talk) 01:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Cardiff123098

Hi Warofdreams,

As an administrator, can you please have a look at the contributions made by Cardiff123098, many I believe are either "not helpful" or vandalism. In a recent image download [Image:Cardiff christmas.jpg] it is clearly a Wales Tourist Board image (see Metadata), yet he/she states in the description that it is "self-made". The same applies to [Image:Cardiff2.jpg] too. The user may also have been or is Wales123098 and other user names. Seth Whales (talk) 20:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vanguard images

Hello, I've nominated the Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party for good article status after expanding it recently. However it's lacking images so is it possible you could upload one or two as I tried before and screwed up? These guys [1] have a load of images in their plagiarised version of the article though they probably stole them from CAIN [cain.ulst.ac.uk] or some other such source. Valenciano (talk) 15:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I'd appreciate your input

[edit] Thanks for the categorization help

[edit] New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 06:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Raving Loony Green Giant Party

I have nominated Raving Loony Green Giant Party, 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/Raving Loony Green Giant Party. 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? Guy (Help!) 11:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

--Soman (talk) 16:21, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I've been trying, twice i think, to raise that issue on Wikipedia talk:Notability, no little avail. The idea that political organizations should be judged on the same grounds as commercial enterprises is imho flawed. --Soman (talk) 21:29, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Money Reform Party deletion

Hey - Money Reform Party article has been nominated for deletion. To be frank I think there's no chance of it being saved but I thought you'd like the heads up

doktorb _words^deeds 05:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

The Money Reform Party article is now going through the formal articles for deletion processWikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Money_Reform_Party at which you are invited to make comment and vote on this deletion proposal doktorb _words^deeds 11:59, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Political Parties..?

A (very) draft discussion on the policy on political parties has been started by me here - User:Doktorbuk/pp. If you can assist with this discussion, or know how to help me get this policy looked at, advanced, and accepted by the larger Wiki community, please let me know. Many thanks doktorb _words^deeds 19:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Follow Up

Follow up to the political parties policy debate, I have updated the page User:Doktorbuk/pp for your comment. Cheers doktorb _words^deeds 11:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inca Empire

Hi Warofdreams. I know this is not really your area but needs must as they say. This article comes up on the US curriculum about this time each year and comes under heavy vandal attack as a result. Would it be possible for you to put it into semi-protection for a month or two to get it passed this period? Thanks - Galloglass 16:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks Warofdreams. - Galloglass 14:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help with a few issues

Hello, could you help me with a few things, firstly Popular Unity Candidature needs to be moved to Popular Unity Candidates, this is an uncontroversial correction of a mistranslation from the original Catalan. Second I set up a table on the Spanish general election, 2008 [2] article but I've noticed that it doesn't sort properly. It sorts from 8 to 0 and then from -8 to 0 instead of 0 to -8. I had a read over the link you gave me before but can't see how to fix it. Lastly on wikiproject political parties, I wanted to add myself to Spain but can't set the template up - I get a redlink when I try. Valenciano (talk) 20:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

One more if you have chance - moving Orense (Spanish Congress Electoral District) to Ourense (Spanish Congress Electoral District) for consistency reasons as requested on the talk page. Thanks again, Valenciano (talk) 19:38, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
