Hi, Are you going to join in at: Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge. I'd particularly appreciate your help with getting the right things included in the core articles & missing articles lists at this stage as we are still preparing for the contest.— Rod talk 21:22, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
... even if you don't, despite what I've somehow have had in my head for a couple of years, turn out to look remotely like Harry Morgan!
It's funny how minds work alike (in other respects); yesterday a colleague and I had an entire lunchtime discussion of the libel per se criteria with respect to a potential client, and contemplated the bar-exam-question-worthy debate of whether that person's particular issues met them. This name-expunged example here was so comparable I obliquely brought it up in the discussion, which is how this line of thinking on my part came to pass. More "curious" than "funny" is this phenomenon of ending up with a random stranger on one's Wikipedia watchlist whom one would never think about in a jillion years, much less with any frequency, and growing to be concerned for at least a few seconds a day for that person's fate as an actual human, and there's got to be at least a law review article in all of this even if not a maximalist novel.

I know I could learn how to do this myself, but asking you is easier, and I'm lazy. Our interstate vandal is back, see here and hitting Category:Auxiliary Interstate Highways. Can you put a long term (like a year or 6 months) batch protection on these? Grassy ass. -- Jayron 32 13:21, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I used to do page moves aeons ago, back before they became so adminly. Plus this has small issues. So History of agriculture in the Indian subcontinent used to be History of agriculture in India back before it was moved by permabanned POV warrior/sockherder Mar4d/Acejet in November 2011. The article is a backwater (it has had a total of 50 edits in its life) so moving it would not be disruptive. Technically, you could make a case that he current name is technically correct (because it includes areas that much later split off o become Bangladesh). However, I want to have it moved back to where it was, to bring it into line with Agriculture in India, and because it's just a shorter and more obvious article name. Can do?

Thanks for giving me a DYK award for macaroni pie, but I only reviewed the nomination. Stilll good to get an award nonetheless! '''tAD''' ( talk) 15:02, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the DYK-credit for Yibna Bridge...but should there not be a DYK credit for Jisr Jindas, too? Huldra ( talk) 20:03, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi HJ i would like a big favorite for me is to supress [1], because it was a hoax at first but Amakuru delcined it because it has been mentioned on websites. Amakuru said not obviously a hoax; film is mentioned in articles which i find it suprising. Scotsman18 ( talk) 09:52, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

In case you are not stalking me, I have been looking at Boundary Estate and with it the antics of the architects of Housing of the Working Classes Branch of London County Council. It seems that there were 16 or so influential architects working there and most need WP articles. Then I strayed into this article http://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/bk17/pp14-25#h2-0009 and found a glorious battle between some of them and other prominent (WP-articles? unsure) architects- your mate Lutyens was in the thick of one melée. Do you have any interest in getting some of them aboard?
Another reference is: Housing of the working classes in London. We have pages for Ralph Knott, Owen Fleming

Hi. Just a reminder that in just over a week at Wikimania there's going to be a cross-Wiki discussion about the systems of control of new pages. This is a round-table rather than a presentation or a lecture. On the agenda are reforms to the new article reviewing systems and ways to help new users better understand our content policies. If you are going to Italy and would like to take part, please check out the conference schedule, and I look forward to seeing you there. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 18:33, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, just thought I'd ping you about a sockpuppeteer briefly impersonating you at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sinungaling Mong Puso. It's a fake AFD, copied intact from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Legacy (2012 TV series), evidently in the hope that their article would look like it had survived an AFD already. The SPI is at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dakotaparty. OnionRing ( talk) 07:56, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed the article Italy had only one official language (Italian), while this is obviously correct other countries with one official national language also have regional official languages written in their side info box... please could you add French to these languages for this page, since it is also the official language in the northern region Valle d'Aosta ? Some refs to back this addition: http://www.lovevda.it/en/culture/tradition/languages , https://www.uwgb.edu/wisfrench/franco.htm , http://www.axl.cefan.ulaval.ca/europe/italieaoste.htm

Hi Harry. Would you have time to look at this WWI directory I've put together in my userspace and advise on anything you can remember that might be missing?

Ever since you blocked Jasonski 15, they have made abusive edits to their talk page. Can you please revoke their talk page access? — MRD2014 T C 17:10, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

I saw your name listed at Peer Review saying that you like to copyedit for prose and MOS compliance, so I was hoping you could help me out. I wrote White Night riots 9 years ago and got it to GA. Since then, I and others have done some improvement, and I think it is nearly ready for FAC. However I'm rubbish at MOS, plus I'm sure standards have changed in the last 9 years. Would you mind having a look? The Wordsmith Talk to me 18:05, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Our messages got crossed multiple times there, but no edit conflicts (weird!) - thank you for looking out for the editor and I'll keep half an eye on the queue as well -- samtar talk or stalk 10:50, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Since the request has been archived and you did ask me a question. I did help him after I noticed these pointers. When I reverted I only noticed this unexplained content removal which blanked the entire page missing the reason why this user blanked it. I have to admit that I was a bit overwhelmed by the legal treat at my talk page but I tried to repack myself and look into the actual complaint. I might have picked the wrong notice board (I realized I should have written at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents) to report a legal treat. EN-wiki has so many of them. I do apologies for picking the wrong one. Please also realize that I am not a native English speaker and it takes me some time to write a balanced reply. While I was writing a reply to the IP-user I noticed your ping. I felt that I had to reply to you first given your treat . Please note that the IP has been blocked by another admin ( Materialscientist) in the meantime, reverted by another user ( Twsx) and has been warned by this other user.
If you want to have a good reason not to revoke my rollback I can give you a couple. Revoking it over one screw up which I was trying to correct seems a bit harsh to me and this also seems to be against the spirit off the rollback policy. Another one might sound a bit selfish but given the last conflict you had at Commons and my role in your de-admin discussion we should be the last persons to impose admin actions on each other on any project. If you really believe my rollback should still be removed over this single, complex situation I should have handled better I plea to your decency to ask another admin to investigate this case.
If you now excuse me, I will have to write a message to Graham McCann (or the IP who claims to be Graham McCann but I see no reason not to believe him) explaining the chances I did to the article. I am sorry that I got a bit overwhelmed at my talk page and therefore I didn't give the balanced reply I use to give. Natuur12 ( talk) 11:13, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Your removal of my reports have left me scratching my head. I report, on average, 5-10 accounts per day. I've reported well over 500 accounts within the last 2 months to AIV/UAA. I think most, if not all, the accounts are blocked by the various administrators, but you. Would some of the accounts also fall under UAA? sure. However, I don't bother making a report to AIV unless the edits are CLEARLY promotional in tone. The bizarre of all: The last time you removed my reports, I noticed another administrator actually went back and blocked all the accounts I reported. -- Cahk ( talk) 08:25, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
I noticed that there was no photo on
Royal Berkshire Regiment War Memorial, and I see you took some photos in Reading, but of a different memorial. Is there an easy way to get the file info and category changed over there (the images in
commons:Category:Reading Cenotaph)? It confused me momentarily and might confuse others as well. It is interesting that there are eight Lutyens cenotaphs, with the seven other than the Whitehall one being two regimental memorials (Maidstone and Reading) and two being in barracks (Reading and Cardiff). Am I right in thinking that not all of them are listed? The Glasgow Derby one and the Cardiff one don't have articles as far as I can see. We are only missing a photo of the Reading one though! I suppose it might be difficult to get into the barracks?

Wallaceshawn has repeatedly inserted the same unsourced casting details into a film article after a final warning not to - why is this "inactionable" under AIV? -- McGeddon ( talk) 10:04, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
Forgot to mention that one thing that can be done with categories or lists of geographical objects is to generate a map showing the location of them all with respect to each other. If you look at the lists on {{ Commonwealth War Graves Commission}}, and click one of the links at the bottom generated by {{ GeoGroupTemplate}} (I used the Open Street Map one because it loads quickly), then you can see the locations relative to each other. I have yet to work out how (and whether it is OK or not to do this) to produce a labelled map to add to the list articles. Just a thought for the Lutyens list when/if you do that.

I just wanted to follow up on an issue where I was blocked some time back (about a year ago).
RE: Revision 668779873 In a lengthy discussion regarding the alleged murderer of Jill Dando, I offered a theory, presented as a theory. Isn't this one of the purposes of the Talk page? The theory referenced an article that the user ThisisPaul found objectionable, and he removed my comment. I then provided a different reference and rewrote my theory. He deleted that text as well. I reworded my text, and he deleted that. Since I am a Wikipedia novice, could you please review my text and tell me how I broke Wikipedia guidelines. I have found a reference from a regular newspaper/website that could be cited ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2698820/Murdered-Crimewatch-presenter-Jill-Dando-tried-bosses-investigate-alleged-paeodphile-ring-inside-BBC-no-one-wanted-know.html). It appears to me that it's acceptable to discuss other theories regarding the murder, such as the ridiculous Serb hit-man theory, but not the involvement of people closer to home. And I really have to wonder why ThisisPaul is so hypervigilant over the Talk page of someone who has been dead for sixteen years. My previous contributions were not simply re-edited, they were scrubbed. Thank you. 192.40.24.4 ( talk) 18:37, 9 August 2016 (UTC)Shandafurdie
