Quality of life

You might want to add a note to your page notice too. Do what it takes to heal yourself and, almost as important, be comfortable, and keep in touch. You've done a lot of good here. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 08:31, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Return when you are ready, hopefully soon, and stay in touch...Modernist (talk) 13:58, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Andrew Russell 15th Duke of Bedford

1815 Mobile, Alabama, 3rd U.S. Infantry, Col. Gilbert Christian Russell, Sr. (Russell Co., AL, named) born ("High on a Windy Hill"?) Abingdon, Va., 1782. Abingdon home of his brother there, Clerk of Court, Andrew Russell, III, is now an inn. Their father, Maj. Andrew Russell, Jr., fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain and wed Margaret Christian, grandchild of Gilbert Christian who 1733 settled "Beverly Manor", Christian's Creek, Augusta Co., Va. Maj. Russell's parents were Andrew and Florence Henderson Russell of Augusta Co., Va., allegedly Scott-Irish. Since "Andrew" is so frequent in this Russell family of some note; do you think the family may be connected to your Duke, Andrew Russell in some way? ∞ focusoninfinity 01:12, 25 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Focusoninfinity (talk • contribs)

hmmm

Hi Slim! I believe User:ERIDU-DREAMING is indeed the character named in this investigation. He has been editing Joseph de Maistre and causing problems there, as can be seen on that talk page. He has also been editing Pindar and Archilochus and I'm guessing that he knows nothing about Greek poetry but is just using those articles as a smoke screen. I objected to his edits of those 2 articles on his talk page using my previous user name User:McRap but he has deleted my comments. In making this accusation, I'm aware that I myself am hardly the model of a WP editor and something about glass houses comes to mind. However, I don't use puppets and all my user names have been consecutive and not simultaneous. (i.e. I'm something of a WP clown but I hope I can still be taken seriously in spite of that!) Anyhow, I leave it to you. Eyeless in Gaza (talk) 04:40, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't notice your health alert. Get better and return when you can. Meanwhile, the issue above is not important. Eyeless in Gaza (talk) 23:49, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Ludwig Wittgenstein

S, i was going to suggest putting forward the Wittgenstein article as a good article nomination, but it looks like you're away at the moment, take it easy Tom B (talk) 15:47, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Tony (talk) 14:17, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

It is hard to believe this talk about health reasons. The whole of NI 5 is ill. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.178.158.35 (talk) 14:59, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Main page appearance: Mary Anning

This is a note to let the main editors of Mary Anning know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 16, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 16, 2011. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Mary Anning (1799–1847) was a British fossil collector, dealer and palaeontologist who became known around the world for a number of important finds she made in the Jurassic age marine fossil beds at Lyme Regis, where she lived. Her work contributed to fundamental changes in scientific thinking about prehistoric life and the history of the earth that occurred in the early 19th century. Anning searched for fossils in the area's Blue Lias cliffs, particularly during the winter months, when landslides exposed new fossils that had to be collected quickly, before they were lost to the sea. It was dangerous work, and she nearly lost her life in 1833 during a landslide that killed her dog Tray. Anning's gender and social class prevented her from fully participating in the scientific community of 19th-century Britain, as it was dominated by wealthy Anglican gentlemen. (more...)

Speedy deletion nomination of John Cooley

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on John Cooley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Robofish (talk) 18:07, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Oops, my mistake (or Twinkle's) - you didn't actually create this article, you just created a redirect to John K. Cooley which another user replaced with a biography of a non-notable person. I'll restore the redirect. Robofish (talk) 18:09, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
