Blocking Giano II

Do not ever joke block someone without their permission. I would argue that you shouldn't even with their permission. If Giano takes offense at your block you could be in some quite serious trouble. Prodego ^talk 04:51, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Incidentally, Graham....did you make sure the autoblock has been lifted? It lasts 24 hours, regardless of the length of the block. Please see to this immediately if you haven't already. Risker (talk) 05:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

(EC) I blocked with the autoblock disabled, so that shouldn't be a problem. I didn't think about the block showing up for three hours though. Yeah I realise I could get into bad trouble with this - I didn't get his permission beforehand. I won't do it again. Graham87 05:22, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Jenny Was a Friend of Mine

Hi Graham! Would you consider userfying this article for me?

Thanks in advance. (Please reply here) decltype (talk) 09:28, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Done, it's at User:Decltype/Jenny Was a Friend of Mine. There was a talk page with content, if you're interested in it. Because it was proposed for deletion, you're allowed to move it back into article space at any time. Graham87 09:48, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! If there's anything on the talk page worth salvaging I would really like to have that as well. decltype (talk) 10:45, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. The talk page is now at User talk:Decltype/Jenny Was a Friend of Mine. Graham87 11:12, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Not much to work with, though. Hopefully I'll be able to dig up some sources to establish notability. Thanks again. decltype (talk) 11:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Please help me.. info on Hereditary Multiple Exostoses needs to be removed!

Dear Graham 87 Besides being webmaster for Dr. Paley... Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (MHE/ MO/ HME) I am The MHE Research Foundation Vice President & National Director of Research Executive Director, The MHE National Research Registry & Coordinator of Clinical Information Liaison Officer, University of Antwerp, Department of Genetics, BelgiumLiaison Officer, Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, Genetics Unit, Bologna Italy

I clearly know the genetics of the EXT genes and this info is useless. work directly on the geentics of the EXT 1 gene and the EXT 2 gene.

I ahve taken this info down! One mutation on EXT 1 that causes HME is at the 340 codon where arginine changes to cysteine. Genetic Code For Genetic Mutation -EXT 1 Nucleotide Sequence

There are hunreds of mutions in the EXT 1 one gene and the EXT 2 gene.

I am co-oranzing the 3rd International conference on this disease http://mheresearchfoundation.org/MHE_Conference.html and there is video on the genetics of this disease located on the foundations website... The MHE Research Foundations website is the largest in the world for this disease and we are an affiliate of the Glycobiolgy Socitety and many many others... OK Where the referance to heparan sulfate that is Glycoliology...and this is the defect with these two genes that to put it in simply terms make all the signaling pathway within these genetic go wrong...

Please do not undo... what I have done by removing this info...

The MHE Research Foundations website will over 300 webpages long... and if people are looking for detailed info this is where they can find it...

Thanks

mick hucknall link

I do not understand the problem , the link goes to an official page with his own blog and music you can listen to on it. Its not advertising, when there's nothing like that there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.134.18.186 (talk) 17:33, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sleepover

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Sleepover, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Per WP:NOTDICDEF: the article describes a simple concept that is more fitting for a dictionary than an encyclopedia

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. DarwinPeacock (talk) 19:45, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I concur, the page can be made encyclopedic with the proper expansions. I hope you work on adding these! DarwinPeacock (talk) 06:09, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Homemaker info deleted!!!!

Dear Graham87,

I did an entry on the above subject and you deleated because "it's not encyclopedic; Wikipedia isn't a how-to guide". I don't think my add was a how to guide but a proper addition to the actual information given. The information already available is not really encyclopedic - it states facts. I was also just stating facts. Is it the wording which was not write??????

Thanks to let me know as I would like to understand ccdsb —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ccdsb (talk • contribs) 16:17, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Korydaleus

You removed Korydaleos from the list of Cremonini's famous students because you only got 3 Google hits. Trully, this is the criterion taht an ignorant would use. So, in order to "refresh your memory", read at least the following books:

• Cléoblue Tsourkas, Les Débuts de l'enseignement philosophique et de la libre pensée dans les Balkans La vie et l'oeuvre de Théophile Corydalée (1563-1646), 2-ème éd. revisée et complétée. Institute for Balkan Studies, Thessalonique, 1967
• George Henderson, The revival of Greek thought, 1620-1830, Albany: SUNY Press, 1970

You can also check the following articles:

• Raphael Demos, "The Neo-hellenic Enlightenment" (1750-1821), Journal of the History of Ideas, Vol. 19, No. 4 (Oct., 1958), pp. 523-541
• George Henderson, "Greek Philosophy from 1600 to 1850, The Philosophical Quarterly, Vol. 5, No. 19 (Apr., 1955), pp. 157-165

Another thing: try a Google search on "Korydaleus".

I've just created a pathetic little stub about Theophilos Corydalleus from the German Wikipedia page about him, despite knowing almost nothing about German or philosophy. I've also re-added his name to the article Cesare Cremonini (philosopher). Graham87 07:50, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Screen reading

Hi Graham, I noticed a small problem with our current stylesheet setup: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18497 This got me wondering again about aural/speech stylesheets. How is the market these days ? Has any improvement been made since last year, or is it still pretty much the same? --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:46, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Radiotherapy - External Links

Hi, Can I ask why you've determined my addition of an external link to be spam?? I don't consider it to be anything of the sort. Links will direct browsers to current and well referenced information that is specific to radiotherapy provision in the UK, which is dramatically different to US-based provision. Thanks. Lloyd (talk) 12:52, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

got your note

Fair enough - though the info contained is clearly referenced to published sources. probably more hassle than it's worth getting into it on project medicine page. it's why things like this will remain unhelpful to non-US residents. Lloyd (talk) 14:21, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

/* External links */

Why did you delete the external link? There are many Wikipedia articles with YouTube links. These are external links, and it show something relative to the article. Maybe is bothers you personally? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fenerty (talk • contribs) 00:26, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikimedia and accessibility

Graham

I am looking at using Wikimedia to host the documentation of an open source eLearning tool called Xerte. Xerte has accessibility features built in and we are concerned that the documentation website / system should also be accessible.

I would be very interested in your thoughts on using Wikipedia with a screen reader or any other accessibility issues you have encountered.

Thanks

Richmond, London

Answer me three questions. What on earth is the point in having a reference to Mills regarding Richmond's identity? Why did you revert to an edit that makes a mess of the previous layout of the lead section (which I created last year [as JHB]) without putting it right? If you are an administrator who is so concerned about Richmond (where I spent the first 24 years of my life) why don't you do something about the peurile Notable Residents section, which is so demeaning that it drags the whole article down to the level of the gutter press? If, however, you think there is nothing wrong with it then don't bother to come back to me, because you will not be on my wavelength - which would not be surprising because you are less than a third of my age.

I have restructured the paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.23.173 (talk • contribs) 20:10, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Help please ...

Hi there, Graham. I created the article The Legendary Estates of Beverly Hills - Unfortunately it was deleted March 31st for containing some criteria for "speedy deletion". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legendary_Estates_of_Beverly_Hills) I sincerely regret that it's just now that I'm able to take actions or seek some help. Is there any way that you can retrieve it for me, so I can do the necessary edits? I hope it's not too late. Thank you so much. I'd truly appreciate your help.Jxc5 (talk) 17:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

James Joyce/Ulysses

Hi, any reason we should keep this redirect around? I ask as it looks like you did some merge work from there to the "standard" location. I'll watch for an answer here. Thanks (John User:Jwy talk) 20:46, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Nope, it's just an old redirect from when articles were organised into subpages. When doing this kind of work, I like to keep the old redirects and edits for the sake of completeness, but I have no objection if someone later wants to delete them. Therefore I just fixed the only remaining link to that redirect, then deleted it. Graham87 00:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Is looking like its category and sub category are getting a fair kick - any thoughts? SatuSuro 09:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC) My generation are the least seen at anything there (except for the judges and the civil service heads) - I agree with you almost in totality - bar hoping i live long enough to see the more relevant stakeholders (oh how I hate that word) are sufficiently out of legal range to give one hell of an anecdotal lambast as to why the late 60's generation never wanted further to do with the place... enough said - thanks for your response SatuSuro 12:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Graham!

I was looking through the edit history of the article described above, and I saw one of your edits at the top. I can understand you feel that many pages link to it, although the vast majority of these links are just years, basically, so I don't regard the page as adequately linked.

Just a wee message =D

Page history anomalies

I got CBM to help me find database anomalies for you. The preliminary data is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:CBM/Sandbox&oldid=295091989 Let me (or CBM) know if that's the kind of data you're looking for. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:14, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that data will be very useful, though. It lists whenever a timestamp is out of order with respect to the revision ids of a page. But the revision ids do not have to increase as time increases, so there are a lot of false positives. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:15, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman"

Regarding your edit: I think the editor 76.194.164.88 was quite right when she/he included "Twelve" in the bolded part of the title in the article Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" — that is the title of the piece. I suppose to make it correct, the article should be moved to Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman". A similar but misspelled title exists as a REDIRECT: Twelve variations on "Ah vous dirais-je, Maman". -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:54, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Levee wall breaks

Do you have a better location for the sentence explaining that the levee wall breaks would not have happened if the Levee Boards had not sued the ACOE to stop them from building the gates? I think that the flooding would have been less than half of what it was if the Levee Boards had not stopped the gates. This is quite important in viewing the overall ramifications of the disaster.
