Hallo, I've seen a lot of your new stubs at Category:Stubs (and can't just think which stub to give them), but could I suggest that you add them to Category:County record offices in England, since it exists. It's also dead easy to create a new category in an existing hierarchy, so it would be very constructive to create a new "Category:Archives in Xxxshire" as you go along, where it doesn't exist - just copy and modify the one for Cambridgeshire, for example (looking at other examples, some have parent cats "Buildings and structures", others have "Education", Cambs has both; all seem to have "Culture" and "Archives in England"). I'll do West Sussex in a moment. Pam D 10:04, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Durham County Record Office, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Durham. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dear Phila,
Thank you for your message and thank you for contacting me. I hope I have written this in the correct section. My reason for flagging the page and making the request for section deletion is based on the Wikipedia statement that 'the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment.’ This article will cause significant emotional and mental suffering to the individual it is written about since it publicizes a private event in the private life of an individual who is not otherwise in the public eye. Claireraph ( talk) 00:24, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
There were over 1,000 uncategorized pages in the batch I was working on yesterday — and because I wasn't able to get through them all in the amount of time I had available to dedicate to Wikipedia, there are still almost 500 in today's batch. It's great that you did apply categories, but it's not appropriate to snark at me for adding the {{ uncategorized}} tag instead of directly adding categories myself — I have an obligation to get the list of uncategorized articles down to absolute zero, but I do not have a responsibility to manually find and apply categories to over 1,000 articles myself instead of applying the standard maintenance tag that exists for that purpose. So thank you for applying the categories, but the snarky accusation you directed at me for just doing my damn job was unwarranted and unfair. Bearcat ( talk) 16:01, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ori Calif is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ori Calif until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

You accidentally undid my edit in which I put the two parts of vol 6 into right order - I leave it to you to fix to avoid edit conflicts. Pam D 11:48, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
Dear Phil,
I recently became the Digital Media Officer for the British Postal Museum & Archive and I notice that you have been responsible for a lot of improvements to our Wikipedia page in recent years, so thank you very much. On February 4 we re-branded ourselves as The Postal Museum, as part of our project to open a new museum and visitor attraction next year, and I wondered whether you might be interested in updating our page with the latest information. The existing content is largely still valid, just needing the name changing and the details of our project adding in (which are available on postalmuseum.org). I hope it isn't rude to ask - I would be very happy to do this myself but believe it might be considered a COI.
Many thanks, Postalmuseumdmo ( talk) 11:14, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

I've changed that "Selected works" (previously "Works") heading on Thomas Thomas (architect) back to the original "Notable works". The chapels on the list are all listed buildings, therefore recognised as important, and are confident that Thomas is the architect. They were originally added because they were notable. "Selected" gives the impression they were chosen based on some sort of subjective decision (I hate the "Selected works" sections on artists' biographies for example). Hope that makes sense, or otherwise we'll all be going round in circles with this ;) Sionk ( talk) 11:55, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
