BrownHairedGirl is a Wikipedia admin

I have been an administrator since May 2006. Administrators have access to a few technical features which help with maintenance.

I regard admin powers as a privilege to be used sparingly and judiciously, but if you require the assistance of an admin, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page.

If you want admin help, please do try to explain clearly what you want done, and why, and please do remember to include any relevant links or diffs. I'll try to either help you myself or direct you to a more experienced person if appropriate.

If you leave a new message on this page, I will reply on this page unless you ask me to reply elsewhere.

Proposed deletion of Richmond Road ground

The article Richmond Road ground has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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 article 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KenBailey (talk • contribs) 06:13, 8 August 2013‎

Fixed. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:45, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Dear Brown Haired Girl Could you please check the reference fix for page "Arnold Lupton". Thanks for your help so far cheers Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.96.225 (talk) 11:37, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Now fixed. Please take a little time to study the working of {{cite web}}. It is not complicated. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:57, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Help with deletion, please

I wrote an article in my sandbox, and moved it to the main Wiki. However, a copy still sits in my Sandbox. How do I delete it? User:Shipsview/sandbox and MacLean_of_Ardgour Shipsview (talk) 12:00, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Shipsview

There isn't actually a copy in your sandbox; there is a WP:REDIRECT.

I have just edited your sandbox to remove the redirect code. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:19, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy Gonzales! Thank you, Shipsview (talk) 12:39, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

David Lloyd George

Please check - David Lloyd George page - are references OK? Thanks so much Cheers M.E.Reed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.181.64.119 (talk) 12:23, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I have fixed it.

Please take a little time to read Template:Cite news to learn how to use the citation templates. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:38, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

SPI assist

I'm coming to you about this because you're an admin, and because you were involved in cat diffusion at Paul Reubens. A disruptive editor has undone your change, twice, under two usernames, and I want to make sure the SPI against him gets traction before he causes more disruption. Apparently he's been at this since November across scores of articles. Any suggestions? — Brianhe (talk) 15:55, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Brianhe, I have commented at the SPI.

In the meantime, I have left a note in the discussion at User talk:Edenc1#Jewish_american_actors, and left a comment at Category talk:Jewish American actors about respecting consensus.

I am WP:INVOLVED, so cannot use admin tools. However, if the disruption persists, I suggest a post to WP:ANI seeking restraining action. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:53, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello BrownHairedGirl. I originally placed that comment wrongly; it should have been in response to the comment where you had just shown me WP:CONSENSUS and WP:CIVIL which, you must have known to be provoking! Yes, I vented a little steam in closing my original comment, I have my reasons for being steamed. You chose, under less stress, to provoke, and I think that is poor judgment from you. I'll rest myself with that, but I am containing some animosity that needn't have been manufactured.—John Cline (talk) 22:06, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

@John Cline: please calm down. My comment intended no provocation, and offered no provocation.

You complained that XFD was being used as an alternative to collegial discussion, and I pointed out to you that XFD is bound by exactly the same rules of collegiality as any other discussion forum on Wikipedia. If you chose to read that as provocation, I suggest that you take a wee break from your keyboard until you feel less "steamed". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:13, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

I understand your points, mine have gotten past you. Cheers—John Cline (talk) 22:20, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Your point is that you have chosen to allow yourself to get "steamed". That is your responsibility, not mine. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:22, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

That is not my point at all! My point is that you will not allow yourself to not provoke a person. Yes, I allowed myself to get steamed, and I think I'm handling it just fine. You've absolutely miss my point.—John Cline (talk) 22:28, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

John, if a statement to the effect that "this is a collegial venue too" is interpreted by you as a provocation, don't blame me. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:32, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't think a statement like "this is a collegial venue too" is provocative, I think it's a bit disingenuous when answering whether or not it should be the first recourse. I think tempelating me as a caution against being uncivil was provocative; and much is already written on Wikipedia, about it, like wp:dtr for example. I'm just telling you, I felt the impact, and it was not. Above your comment, I mentioned wp:xfd, untemplated form, out of respect; in keeping wit wp:dtr. You yell back with XFD at me, saying it's just as good as a talk page. I disagree with that line.—John Cline (talk) 22:52, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

John, stop being silly. I didn't template you, and I didn't caution you; I just reminded you that the collegiality you seek also applies at XFD. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:59, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

I didn't intend being silly. It's not impossible that I am. I did somehow miss the benevolence you apparently intended. Good luck as you spread your good cheer.—John Cline (talk) 23:07, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

A new day begins

I apologize for bringing my discontent to your talk page. For what it is worth, I am going to take that break you advised; for the best of all. I am glad you reverted my last edit, as you did! Sincerely.—John Cline (talk) 00:26, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Bertrand Russell

Me again I still find it hard to check refs. I will get my wife to help soon !!

Plesae check references fro page - Bertrand Russell Cheers again and thanks Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.147.216.152 (talk) 11:26, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Mike, I will check it, but please can you do a few things to help?

Firstly, register an account. It's quick, protects your privacy, and makes it much easier for other editors to interact with you. Not required, but a good thing for everybody.

Secondly, please sign your messages on talk pages. All you need to do is to add the following characters at the end of each message: --~~~~.

Best wishes, --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:13, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Category:Western (genre) film actresses

added, obvious inadvertence. --Cavarrone 11:44, 8 January 2014 (UTC) ...and obviously this message was also a suggestion to rearrange your comment there: as the point you made was taken into account and the CfD is now fixed your keep vote now needs a pertinent rationale. My best, Cavarrone 14:14, 8 January Cavarrone]], I have replied at the CFD discussion, and notified you of that response by using {{ping}}. This new device is a quicker and easier way of notification than a talk page message, and it's more useful to the recipient than a message such as the one I am replying to which includes no link. (See my editnotice which was displayed to you when you posted here: Please make it easy for me to locate what you are referring to, by including links in your message). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:57, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks for your suggestions... could you close the discussion there as "speedy kept/ withdrawn by nominator"? As you wrote, it was not a thought through nomination. Thanks. Cavarrone 15:12, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
