Finishing my Coke article, hopefully. The sources rather fail to appropriately cover his later career, so I've got this big blank spot. Turns out Hoff (the guy who did the Garrow biography) did a biography of him a few years ago, so I might go see if the Holkham Library has a copy. After that, a GA on the Human Rights Act would be an admiral goal, methinks :P. Ironholds (talk) 11:04, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention; now replied. I don't suppose I can convince you to attend this? :P. Ironholds (talk) 14:15, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Magyar Televízió/draft

Can you restore this draft? I'd like to continue working on it. I went to a foreign country and I had no internet for 5 months.--125.25.231.191 (talk) 16:31, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, no. Use the talk page of the article from now on to discuss matters, or work on your own draft offline – the MFD showed that there's agreement that this method of working wasn't, well, working. Bencherlite^Talk 11:02, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

A question, good sir

I'm writing a GA on the Arbitration Act 1979, possibly the most pointless exercise in writing ever. Admiralty cases are usually known by the name of the ship, but also have a standard, X v Y name. Which would be best to shove an article under, do you think? Ironholds (talk) 17:29, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Cheshire

You said "Overall, I think that the minor points raised by Fetchcomms aren't enough to make me qualify my support" so I read it as not enough work to make you support the promotion of this portal. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 01:05, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

One, I can't read your mind so you can't assume I know your position. Two, if you write in an ambigous way, then obviously there is a potential for communication problem. Three, hindsight is always 20/20. I can't forsee that your wording is ambigous and misunderstood your meaning until I close it. As for relisting, me and User:Cirt already agreed to wait for a week before closing it as a failed nomination.[1] In fact, I left it open for two weeks. Did I see you oppose to this plan? No. You commented on something else. As stated in 1d of the criteria, it needs to be well-maintained. Without knowing when will User:Espresso Addict return and edit, it could easily become unmaintained in the forseeable future because Espresso Addict is the primary editor that updates the portal. There is no prejudice for nominating this portal again in the future (by any editor) if someone takes the role to maintain the portal, but I haven't seen anyone to step forward. For these reasons, this is why I chose to fail the nomination. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 17:09, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Portal Somerset

Following my look at your work on the Law portal I've been editing Portal:Somerset to get the entries dynamically changing. I've started to set this up - lots to do - but can I pick your brains. I've tried to use the templates as set out at Template:Box portal skeleton but I'm getting duplicate "see more..." (see under selected picture) have you got any idea how to get rid of this?— Rod ^talk 22:15, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help - I now have the same problem with selected biographies & I've tried adding archive=no without any success. Any ideas?— Rod ^talk 22:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again.— Rod ^talk 23:05, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Its like flogging a dead parrot :-)— Rod ^talk 23:09, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Could I ask you to work your wikitemplate syntax magic on Template:Selected location & get that one to accept "archive = no" as well?— Rod ^talk 18:07, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks - I'm building this set before I show it on the Portal page, but visible at Portal:Somerset/Selected location.— Rod ^talk 18:13, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

As you obviously know more about Portals than I do, can I share a thought I've been having while removing references from the selected content on Portal:Somerset? Is this the only area of wikipedia where content is unsupported by reliable sources, in fact nothing to verify any of the claims made? I have no idea how a references section could be included with rotating content, but I just having nagging worries that the portals, even the featured ones, contravene a whole range of policies which seem so important elsewhere on wp.— Rod ^talk 13:28, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Arbitration Act 1979

You work damn fast :P. Ironholds (talk) 11:03, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

I have this blasted thing that backs the computer up at 6.30 every evening and for some reason logs me out, but let's me carry on editing. Computers are an ever increasing mystery to me.  Giacomo  18:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
