RfA thank you

Bduke, I wish to say thanks for your support in my successful request for adminship, which ended with 82 supports, 3 opposes, and 1 neutral. I will do my best to live up to your expectations. I would especially like to thank Rlevse for nominating me and Wizardman for co-nominating me.

Re:Orphaning tactic

"Please leave the Scouting Project some time to come to agreement on this." The scouting project has no more authority than I do. If the project will deal with it, I am happy to leave you to it, but from what I have seen so far, you won't... J Milburn (talk) 10:14, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

See Milburn's post on my talk page. He obviously is only willing to accept his view and not listen to others. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:29, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

sorry

was just doing cleanup where I saw it. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 07:29, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Channel Islands

What about merging Guernsey and Jersey?, else they will likely stay stubs. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 05:25, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I thought about that, but they really are different political places. There is no political body that covers the Channel Islands. All Islands are in one or the other. I would prefer to rename them to Scouting and Guiding in Jersey etc. There is a long and very detailed web history of Guiding on one of them, I forget which (It might even be both). There is also a lot more to say about Scouting and Guiding under German occupation in WWII. I might get around to look at them after I have finished Scotland. I'm off-wiki next week. They certainly do not need to stay stubs. --Bduke (Discussion) 09:10, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I like your ideas. Also, should we do subsections within them for Alderney and Sark? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 02:06, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Gary Chan

Could you please help to recover and send the deleted passage of "Gary Chan" for me? I think someone misuderstood its content, thinking it was meaningless and should be deleted. This "Gary Chan" is the member of Legislative Council of Hong Kong. Please attach its content in my discuss page, thanks! Ricky@36 (talk) 08:51, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, as you can see from the top of this page, I am on a break. I'll look into this at the weekend. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:11, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Oscar Werner Tiegs

Hi Bduke,

Thanks for helping out with the speedy on Oscar Werner Tiegs. I have a significant draft almost done, but off line. Yep did know about him beign a founding fellow of the AAS too. It will be a couple of days before I can up load it though.

I wish some of the deletionists would be as gung ho about some of the real crap that exists . . . It was speedy nominated within 60 seconds of me creating the page . . . They did not even bother to look at what links here before clobbering it . . .

Cheers. Peter N.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pee Tern (talk • contribs)

No worries. I have added at little, but will stop now. It really pays to wait until you create a stub in order to make sure that you assert notability. The best is that I just fund out he was FRS. Also nothing much did link to the article. Sometimes it pays to make redlinks before you create an article. Quite a few articles now link there. --Bduke (Discussion) 01:15, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Career Academies UK

Brian, thanks for leaving a note re Career Academies UK.

I believe the organisation to be notable for the following reasons: It is a charitable organisation in the UK which is supported by over 500 corporates, working to raise the aspirations of 16 - 19 year olds. It works in over 100 schools and currently works with about 2000 young people a year. Its board is made up of some of the UK's leading business people. (And it is chaired by Win Bischoff, named by The Times as Britain's most powerful business leader) It has had exceptional success over the past six years - and has been described by the UK government (and opposition) as an important educational movement It has recently been awarded the Global Best Award by the Conference Board of Canada for its work.

Its sister organisation in the US, the national Academy Foundation, is listed on Wikepida.

Hope this helps.

John
