Firstly, can we fill in the details about classes of locomotives before creating stubs on individual preserved engines please?
Secondly, can you upload your photos to the Wikimedia Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page you link through just the same as normal. Dunc| ☺ 21:53, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
I removed the links to locos 9400 and 9466 simply because they were redirect pages back to the GWR 9400 Class article, so there seemed little point in having them. If specific pages for 9400 and 9466 are recreated then the links should be added again. Our Phellap 14:10, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi Chowells. Just to let you know that I appreciated your voice of support re the merge of GWR 6000 Class 6024 King Edward I, so I reverted the merge and put it up for deletion instead. Regards, CLW 21:09, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Please accept my apology and see my comment Here Paul 00:21, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
You removed a comment of mine from the Image page where I had placed it Image:Lance aka david alan reis nude.jpg, with the edit comment "please comment on the images for deletion page, not here". I have replaced the comment: the page exists precisely for the purpose of sourcing images!. I think, further, if you feel a comment belongs on another page, if you remove it, you should place it on that page. Move, rather than delete. (And you also should specify the page precisely, with a link.) Frankly, since you nominated the page for deletion in the first place, your actions seem rather improper. You should not tamper with comments in this way. - Keeper of Records 20:29, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Where was this on the locomotive? Usually the tenders had a separate number to the locomotive and were frequently swapped between them. Mallard is 4468. This shows 1870. It helps to upload a little information about the photograph when you upload it. That notwithstanding it is an interesting view of a Shinkansen! Dunc| ☺ 21:28, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I've added your new article, Liverpool Blitz, to the Did you know? section of the War portal. Kirill Lokshin 16:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: User talk:MrWeeble#Southend Pier I got this from http://www.pier2pier.org/flashindex.html (click on southend and scroll to the bottom - or for a direct link, http://www.pier2pier.org/southend.htm ). Not the most verifiable of sources admittedly, but it is out there.
In order to get some more verification one way or the other, I have made a post on his forum [5]. hopefully there will be a yay or nay there.
Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Liverpool Blitz, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |
Please revisit AfD John Larney as it has been cleaned up and is now definatly not a hoax. Verifiable sources have been added. Also the matter of "puppetry" is hopefully cleared up. Thank you for your reconsideration. JesusSaves 00:18, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
sometimes it is nescisary to edit peoples coments. i am but one man trying to do what is right and when facing a large groop of uneducated people i need to cheat to ensure that the worthy articles are not deleted by people who simply do not understand them.
If you'd like to clean-up others' pages, could you also kindly state the reasons why (instead of just adding the clean-up logo)? e.g. Hong Kong Commercial Daily

If there is ever any adminish (is that a word :-) things you need help with, please let me know. In addition, I didn't know you were up for an RfA.

Hi - I got to your user page from FPC, and noted that you're an avid steam train fan, just like me! The only difference is that I work in 1/8 scale... Here's a couple of page that are almost all my work: Live steam, Backyard railroad - on the latter page, I built the 4-4-0 from scratch, also the model shown on 0-6-0.

Regarding the page Frederick Hawksworth, thanks for correcting me. When I came across it and saw the phrase "big four" without an internal link, the American "Big Four" was the only one I could find on Wikipedia. Glad you caught it. – Sommers (Talk) 01:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I think most people would prefer to read half a page of excellence than 500 pages of tedious dribble.
Hey there. I'm sure you no newbie to jpegs and compression, but I've noticed that some of the pics you've uploaded for FPC have been overly large and I suspect you were using PS with compression of Max (12). I did a few experiements with your pics and saved them with compression of 9 or 10 on that scale and it basically halved them or better with no discernable difference in quality whatsoever. 9 or 10 is what I personally use and I find it to be pretty much perfect. I just think anything higher is perhaps overkill and using up valuable bandwidth/space on wiki's servers. This is just a suggestion, by the way, but its just been my experience. Oh and lol. I just read a couple of lines abovs and noticed your tipping of the hat to me. Thanks. The 20D is indeed a lovely camera, and while I much prefer my 5D, particularly when working with panoramas there isn't a substantial difference! Whatever downsides you have with having a 1.6x crop factor, you can make up for by simply stitching a few more images together to get the same angle of view (with the same overall resolution, too)!

Hi Chowells,
Thanks for your message. I don't take nominator's vote into account, hence the AfD is recorded as 1 delete, 3 keeps (75% majority). This gives a consensus to keep the article. Even if there is no consensus as you have claimed, the article will not be deleted as it is kept by default. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 03:21, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I understand your reasons for removing my comment about FIPA's name, however I don't really think it offends anybody (FIPA was always about how agents interact rather than how they are built internally) and the name has (at least for the last 5 years of my experience) been something of a standing joke in the agents community...(it was for instance one of the first issues raised in the FIPA planning meeting at AAMAS last last year when the IEEE group was being formed).

Hi. I'm happy to work from the original raw file. I downloaded the file and opened it up in photoshop before realising that the raw file is quite a bit more blurry than the one on FPC. Then I also noticed that the perspective is a little different! I think you uploaded the wrong RAW file! ;-) The propeller isn't in the same place. If you could upload the right one, I'll gladly have a go but I didn't want to process the file if it was inherently blurry to begin with. As for ISO 100 vs 200, you're right that it is a bit noisy but with noise reduction software, it is usually pretty safe to go up to 400 without worrying about how it will ruined by noise. Its better to be noisy than blurry when you're working with fast-moving objects like planes. Noise can be minimised, blur isn't so easy. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 07:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Non-sourced and apparently non-notable memoir. Non-mainstream or academic publisher. No evidence of notability found online.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. —
