Ok. Do it. Edit it. It really does need it. I've done a lot of work and the hard process of getting the article at this point was quite much even for me. I think that it's excellent article as I'm a huge Kinks fan, but in a moments like these I need some respite after all. So, I do hope that the article will get better and better and there won't be any problems in seeing it rival The Beatles and Rolling Stones or the Who articles as I think that the band rivals them on many musical aspects and on some they are even better.
Good luck and regards: Painbearer 00:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
{{eucation}} tag seem like a good idea at the time. Not sure not so its removed. It was a bit US specific as well. -- Pfafrich 21:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
You know what? I reckon this would be a great time for you to be BOLD! Have a look at List of education topics, have a think about what we might have scope to cover, and what we should cover, and just redesign it. Or if you're not too crash hot with tables, feel free to draw an image as a BMP or whatever of your idea, and I'll try and table it up. Don't worry about getting it wrong: the great thing about wikis is that they're in a constant state of improvement.
Also, keep in mind a navigation template should link things that are already linked in some way - it's about the topics, not the articles (and their quality) per se. So Quaternary education is pretty crap, but it's nontheless a significant article in relation to higher education. Plus, we hope that articles will constantly improve.
This template should be listed on the list of nav templates, but I think because it was created by an anon, it just never happened.
What do you say? Go for it! pfctdayelise 10:54, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

User:Robsteadman is leaving Wikipedia, and asked me to delete all his pages. I checked for "what links here" and it led me to a sub page of your user page. I checked your contributions, wondering for a moment if you were Rob returning under a new name, and found that you had copied all his talk pages into subpages of your own user page. I
Can you explain why you are keeping a copy of these pages?
Have you any connection to Rob?
I'm trying to get admin feedback as to what the best thing to do is when someone announces that he's leaving, and I'd like this cleared as well.
Thanks.

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 15:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I know that you said that you tied up with other things, but i noticed that you edited several articles relating to the GAA. A couple of users and myself have a project to help work on the articles, was wondering if you like to sign up, no need to jump right in, no is the a commitment if you do join or anything, just edit as you can. If you get a chance check it out, if you like what you see sign up, we are always looking for good editors, if they are knowledgeable or not. -- Boothy443 | trácht ar 07:55, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

The answer's in the word "inline", i.e. in the running text of the article. (It basically means "don't start articles with "The Right Honourable".") Proteus (Talk) 18:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I was part of the discussion that resulted in the current policy. If it implies (not infers) that, then it's wrong. Sorry. Proteus (Talk) 18:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted your change to The Right Honourable. The reason is that that self-reference is not appropriate, since it is attempting to insert WP guidance into an article that has nothing to do with WP. Looking over what has been happening I can see why you did it, but in any case, I don't think it will work. Incidentally, AFAIK, the consensus has been that Rt. Hon. (most other titles/ honorifics) is not used at the start of the article, but can be used in info boxes. Thanks CaptainJ ( t | c | e) 18:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Could I ask that if you are happy with the article as it is, that further debate on what exactly defines nationality (especially in an area as complex as this - see British_Isles (terminology)) is not going to be of benefit, and in any case not especially relavent to the Ruth Kelly page. I have made a similar request on User_talk:Robertsteadman#Ruth_Kelly. Regards, MartinRe 08:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I understand you removed that chunk of text from Isobel Lang article because direct copy and paste of large portions of external articles is apparently not allowed. So if I change a few words (e.g. lives -> resides, interests -> hobbies etc.) will it be OK to put it back? Thanks. Jameboy 10:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Frelke. I hope, before I go to bed tonight, to post something at WP:ANI about Rob and Neuropean. I feel bad about what has happened, because I saw the distressed message Neuropean sent Rob (and had also seen some of the frivolous RFCUs and RFIs that Rob was filing), and I saw that it was obvious that Rob was stalking Neuropean, and I intended to do something, but didn't move quickly enough. As I see it, Rob was blocked indefinitely, and was unblocked on condition that he would behave himself. I have undeleted the old histories of the Robsteadman user and talk pages, and am also looking at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Deskana for diffs. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 22:30, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Frelke. I admit that I hadn't checked the website and it seems I'm mistaken. I used to attend Sandymount High, which I knew was on Herbert Road, but when I googled it it turned out that SH was 1, Herbert Road, thus making the dividing line between the two streets where the two schools met, rather than Herbert Bridge, which I'd assumed. I've fixed the relevant entries for Landowne Road and Herbert Road. Well spotted! Autarch 18:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Under FIPS, the code for the Philippines is RP. It can be found under the R's in List of FIPS country codes. Before my edit, it looks like someone confused the FIPS and ISO 3166-1 a2 codes for the Philippines. Nothing has been nuked. :) - Thanks, Hos hie 13:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
I appreciate your efforts in attempting to create an image free of copyright for use on Template:Irish Defence Forces. However, the image you created is a derivate work of Image:Ie round.gif. Yes, two of the colors you used in your creation are slightly different than the original, and there is a black line around and separating the three zones, but the image proportions are still precisely the same. The subtle changes you made are not enough to free the image of copyright concerns. For example, you can't take the logo from Coke and make slight color changes and add a few lines and say this is your work alone, and you can do whatever you like with it. If you tried to make and sell a hundred thousand t-shirts using such a logo, the lawyers from Coca-Cola would be on your doorstep very rapidly. As a result of this, I've retagged the image you made as a {{ logo}}.
Since it is not free of copyright, it must be used under terms of fair use. Images used under these terms that are not used in the main article namespace are subject to deletion. I have therefore tagged the image with {{ orfud}}.
Also, obviously the intent is to represent the Irish Air Corps with this emblem that you have created. However, if you create another image that can not count as a derivative work, it will not be the actual emblem of the Irish Air Corps, and thus using such an image on a template to identify that group would be as innaccurate as using a Coke logo to represent Pepsi.
Again, I appreciate your efforts but they are insufficient to our needs. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. -- Durin 13:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Frelke
I am a little concerned that you have edited the 'Horley' entry to remove some vandalism to the article and have attributed this vandalism to me. I assume the vandalism you are referring to is the derogatory comment appended to the name "Andy Thompson". If you look at the log, you will find that this wasn't my edit at all, it is attributable to an unnamed user on ISP 193.60.199.36. My edit was to remove two unnecessary words from the paragraph about the development on the town so that the entry made sense (It actually says this and gives the location of the edit in the comment I made with the edit). While I applaud any effort to prevent this resource being used for scurrilous and unfounded remarks (As it happens, I've met Andy Thompson and have a great deal of respect for him), I feel that you should take a bit of care before accusing anyone of something they have not in fact done. I accept that I am new to Wikepedia and if I have offended any of the etiquette for this group I apologise and would appreciate guidance, I find it a little disconcerting, however, that my first attempt to help should meet with this response.

You may be interested in User:Audacity/Userboxes/WSPQ, which is a replacement for the old Political Chart userbox. The new userbox takes the two variables (economic and personal freedom), calculates which political alignment they place you into (Statist, Libertarian, Liberal, Centrist, or Conservative), and links your userpage to the appropriate category.

It is entirely likely that, once the IRFU and FAI have finished building their brand spanking new stadium that is going to cost them €365 million, they're not likely to want to use Croke Park anymore are they? As for the excuse "the fixtures aren't listed on the IRFU and FAI pages", that's spurious at best. These fixtures, for the time that they last, are historic and a list of them should be maintained.

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what's happened to the info box code in Charlwood. Wasn't the info box code ok before? Now it's all very difficult for a lay person to read. There are lots of these info boxes in the villages, I don't think that it's the way to go ahead to make them all like this. Perhaps though I just don't understand what's happened. SuzanneKn 20:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I wondered if you could quickly solve this query for me. I have put this info box
at the bottom of my new page Woking (borough). Now the link to Woking takes me to the old page for the town rather than my new page for the borough. If you look at Guildford, there is a page for Guildford and a page for Guildford (borough). The info box take one to the borough which is where it should go. Now the link goes to Woking the town because I've only just made Woking (borough). What I need to know is how to go into the info box code above and change it from Woking to Woking (borough). Thanks for seeing if you can help. SuzanneKn 21:33, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Third opinion is not the correct forum for complaints of this nature. Third opinions are meant to be used when two editors are, in good faith and with civility, in disagreement over the content of an article. In these cases, one or both users seek an outside opinion to give a new perspective or tie breaking vote. Trolling or persistent personal attacks can be directed to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. -- Selket Talk 05:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with your view on the map. In my experience, one of the most important things people wish to know about a settlement is precisely where it is. If they don't know where Surrey is, there can check the locator map in the corner of the new map; if they don't know what it is, we have an article on the topic. A specific example of the usefulness of the map: several places in Surrey had their co-ordinates entered incorrectly; no-one had spotted this using the original small-scale map as it is not very precise, and it is difficult to check whether a location is shown in west Surrey or in mid Kent. The other mapping resources are still available; in my view, the new map is an excellent way of communicating the location clearly in the more limited amount of detail which is feasible in an encyclopaedia article.

Both you and the anonymous user (who is presumably Rob, but that doesn't matter really) are making a lot of fuss over nothing. Blank page, page with tag on, who cares? He's long gone now, and the only thing inbetween "blank page" and "tagged page" is "deleted page". That's why I did it. I can understand why you want it tagged, but you're both making a lot of fuss over nothing, really. -- Deskana (fry that thing!) 10:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for opening a discussion and not just reacting. I added my comments at Category talk:Port cities Hmains 02:53, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, I am more than annoyed by your reversion behavior and attitude, which accomplish nothing positive for WP. See Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. No one needs to provide notification or request permission to edit articles here.. I did no more than take the sentence from the 'ports and harbors' category and make it into opposite sentence that would then make sense in the 'port cities' category. If the 'ports and harbors' sentence is correct, then so is the sentence I put into 'port cities' category. And I said nothing about towns, since that is being discussed in CfD--a discussion I see you are completely losing. Hmains 16:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
