Hello, welcome to my talk page!

If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~

Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Unfortunately I don't know much about the subject, although I could see that some of the recent edits (both by you and by Wikireader41) were not neutral - but if you add your own point of view, even if it is only replacing the point of view of another editor, it will often result in you being reverted and blocked. —Snigbrook 13:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting the db-nonsense on this page. I only though to look in the Japanese wiki after putting it up for deletion. So thanks! -Yupik (talk) 22:52, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Leyland Trucks information

Hi. My name is Steve Whelan and I was responsible for adding the content to the LEYLAND TRUCKS section that was deleted by you. I work for Leyland Trucks and own the content of the Leylandtrucksltd.co.uk site. My reasons for updating the Wiki site is to ensure that people who want to research Leyland get the most up to date factual information that they can. I have written the content of the Leyland site and found it easier to use the same text when updating the Wiki site. I am not a technical person and could do with some help here as to what I can and can't put on the site. I will make some further updates bearing in mind your previous comments, but any guidance would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Peter Lavelle

Hi! What is the point of an anodyne article about a journalist who would not be very notable at all if it weren't for the salient fact that he works and writes constantly in support of the Russian government and against Western governments and journalists (whom he calls the 'commentariat'). We don't need outside sources for this -- we only need to read the man's own website. Surely this is good enough. What do you mean in this case when you write 'Blogs are not reliable sources'? It is the man's own words we are talking about. Of course Wikipedia must not say that his activities are in any way bad, but it ought to be able to mention them. APW —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pawebster (talk • contribs) 23:00, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

It should only be included if it is published in reliable sources, or if he has mentioned it himself. I can't see it anywhere on his blog, if it is there you could cite it, mentioning which post it is in. If this is just a perception based on reading it, it is original research. —Snigbrook 23:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Pain (2Pac/Tupac Shakur Song)

Hey there, I saw your username under the history of the edit page of the above article. I was just wondering if you could maybe check it out for me, considering you've revised bits & pieces over there, because I've submitted in new information in the discussion page I thought is worth noting on. Thanks. =] Kain tl (talk) 13:00, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

It's not a subject I know much about, I only edited the article to undo edits by a user who was adding dubious information and vandalism to various articles. You may need to find more references, as I don't think those you suggested on the talk page are reliable sources. —Snigbrook 18:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Gareth Kirkham

I notice you are one of the main players in having the Gareth Kirkham article removed. I can assure you that all the content of the article was true. I am astounded that a google search did not show any results given his notoreity and controversialism. I did a yahoo search and found many hits. He is not on the Cornish Pirates website as he has only recently joined the club. The club website has simply not been updated recently. I will also be returning the article to its former state.

Regards

Dogtitmania (talk) 00:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Any content on Wikipedia should be verifiable. I had looked on Google and on the clubs' websites and could not find sources to verify anything mentioned in the article, so I nominated it for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gareth Kirkham. The references currently in the article are not specific enough to verify (see Wikipedia:Citing sources). —Snigbrook 00:43, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Waverton, Cumbria

I am curious as to why Woodrow, Cumbria should redirect to Waverton, Cumbria. Kingturtle (talk) 01:07, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

It appeared as a red link in the box above "recent changes", and when I looked for information about it, I found it was a small hamlet with probably fewer than ten houses. It's probably not notable enough for a separate article so I redirected it to the parish it is in, as suggested by the guidelines at WP:UKCITIES, and added a sentence to Waverton, Cumbria mentioning Woodrow and other hamlets. —Snigbrook 01:18, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Category:550s BC disestablishments

I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:550s BC disestablishments]] to articles/categories that belong in it.

I blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{db-author}}.
