User: Sleeping water

Hi - I've been offline for a few days, but no, my edits seem to be untouched (for now, at least). I was expecting this type of retaliation from him, though I had thought I'd be on the hitlist as well. Seems to have a special place in his heart for you. Gabhala (talk) 20:17, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

He's back - apparently as IP 92.161.41.235 (Dijon, Fr) and as User:Milkrawler and earlier on another IP from Lyon... Keep an eye on your watchlist... Gabhala (talk) 00:28, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

BTW have a look at your files at Commons now and then. Our friend (or his doppelganger) seems to have been active again. So far, all I've seen has been reverted, but you know your files better than I do. Trigaranus (talk) 08:54, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Some people are good at the grudge (if not at much else). Well, tel aviv, as my French cousins'd say... Trigaranus (talk) 09:11, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I did laugh a little at that redirect. Kudos for ingenuity. And dedication, given all that time it must have cost him. Warms the cockles of my heart, knowing that a man has found his cause, he he. Trigaranus (talk) 11:54, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Lilybank

Area notionally bounded by London Road, Maukinfauld Road, Cuthelton Street/Glamis Road, Helenvale Street. The investigative sociologist who lived there for a while (incognito) did so in the middle of it at Dunning Street, which bordered the Boiler Works (John Thomson/Wilson Boilers, now no longer there). There was attached to these premises a (probably 20th Century) small house called Lilybank Cottage, so it could be the origin of the name. (It is not on 19th Century maps). I am afraid it looks as if almost everything the area has disappeared, though a few buildings remain on London Road. I think they are very interesting architecturally (a pared down moderne tenement with quite innovative features), but information on early construction is hard to find. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest.

Note from Mickey Srivastava

Hi!! Instead of giving valid and proper references why are you undoing my changes or do you know her better than me? All the info is correct, atleast tell me where am i wrong?? Please take it as urgent.

twin towns on the Dundee article

i'm just wondering if it is a good idea to scrap the section at the bottom of the article and move the info into the culture section. what do you think or would it better to leave it just as it is?

p.s. i will get round to creating that landmarks section Kilnburn (talk) 12:07, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

i can see that. no problem. Kilnburn (talk) 20:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Request for help to avoid speedy deletion of Matt Gifford article

Thank you for raising questions about the new article, but the biography is relevant of a modern technology writer, and the content / layout was created following a similar published biography of a similar individual. Please let me know how the article can be amended and improved to retain on the site. MrsGorilla (talk) 13:18, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

New article clarification

Many thanks for your assistance and help in pointing out amends for the article. Aside from the greater number of publications attributed to this individual in comparison, what else is different between the article for Matt Gifford and Ben Forta, as this article doesnt contain publication references or WP:BIO details either. MrsGorilla (talk) 13:36, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Lon Yr Ysgol

I looked on Google street view, is a relatively new street, nice houses but same as another other short residential strete in every town. Speedy it I think, not worth a redirect certainly.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:37, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

user pages

Hi Jim. I'm just letting you know I declined the CSD on User:SJKirbyJr. Having a blank user page is no big issue, the user may want to repopulate it soon, and if there were improper content, the way to go is through WP:MfD. However, thank you for your vigilance, and if ever you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Dundee

wow! i didn't expect you to be considering a decision to push for GA status so quickly. that really took me by surprise!

like you say, it is not too far from GA and i agree with that. but i do think there is still much to be done. there is no info on the Dundee Waterfront project (i'm prepared to add this to the article) along with population and employment statistics on demography. the landmarks section (although i have been supposed to get round to doing this) is little more than a couple of sentences. sport is another concern; not many references there.

A90 road

Hi, I've reverted your edits to A90 road, which didn't appear to do what you intended. I'm not sure what you did intend, or I would have tried to fix it. Tim PF (talk) 12:57, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

No, they didn't, did they? I was attempting to add to the infobox the junction with the A972 road, which is where the A90 links with the main coastal road, the A92. But I failed. I was going to go back to it later to figure out where I was going wrong, but if you know a quick fix, that would be appreciated. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 13:03, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I did wonder, but I had misread the major junctions to be just the two ends. I now realise that it has three intersecting roads chosen almost at random, including one non-primary route. It therefore poses two questions: What level of roads should be added (eg ALL primary routes)? and Would it make more sense for Edinburgh (the South) to be at the bottom? Regarding the latter, I note that Edinburgh is always at the top (apart from the A1). It also doesn't help that there's a gap between the Forth and the Tay. I'll try and add the A972 for you, though. Tim PF (talk) 13:24, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I've added the junctions for the A972, A92 and A96, which may do for north of the Tay. BTW, you had managed to make your original addition after the closing braces for the infobox. The junctions are listed last in the source, but not in the infobox itself, which is probably why I couldn't figure out what you were trying to do, and also perhaps why you had failed. Tim PF (talk) 13:37, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, that would explain it! I've taken the liberty of adding the M9, which I imagine is notable enough... the A92 can probably be dropped though, as it doesn't physically link with the A90, except where it has been renamed the M90 (?) Catfish Jim & the soapdish 13:47, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I was thinking of near Stonehaven, actually. Interestingly, both the A92 and A93 have junctions with both the M90 and A90. The A94 almost does so too, and I still cannot understand why they didn't route the A90 via an upgraded A94 from Perth to Forfar. Tim PF (talk) 14:12, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Slightly embarrassing that I use that junction fairly regularly... I think something along those lines will come eventually, or at least a road built to bypass Dundee. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 14:59, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Interior decorating

Sorry about this belated response to your kind help. I was trying to streamline my userpage. Good grief! If you'll take a look at it (in Explorer x100 anyway), I've been trying to improve asethetically the look of the tiny photo gallery there. I'm trying to keep the color and the black and white photos in rows separate. Trying to keep the upright photos togeher, and the landscape photos together. I think what is there now is best. Also, I am having a hard time figuring out how to put my information into collapseable sections- I had a little success towards the bottom of the page, but hate that watery puke green color. Can you find any other colors instead? I was hoping you could put little collapseable tabs-- sane thing as creating a template for a band or something, I suppose. I don't want to change anything with the little portrait gallery, but maybe your link to my photo list page could, again be in a collapseable thing too. Last thing, now I'm a Veteran Editor II, rather than my prior ranking. If you could help with this, I would once again be obliged! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 13:12, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Whoops. Keep thinking you're a mindreader! My userpage is far more than cosmetic. When people revert or question work, they often look at the User pages (maybe to use caution in case I'm some Admin. heavyweight or something). Those "shiny pointless things" are a necessity, and it sucks (plus being a girl doesn't make it any better)! Anyway, basically, I had the photos just where I wanted them. I try to pick themes: the first times three were "landscape" colored photos in two rows, then, ditto with the black and white pics, just as they were. I would like everything else in there to be "collapsable". I apologize for not being specific. I'll fix it -I just wanted to tell you thanks for the other things you've done.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 17:41, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the re-formatting. As you probably have noticed I am not a veteran page writer so your edits are appreciated. Taco (talk) 16:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Edit conflict confusion

Hi, just saw your Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Damienn jones prefix:Wikipedia:FAQ

It seems I moved the page to Damienn Jones just before you AfDed it, so the AfD is now on a redirect - and to confuse matters still further, I BLPPRODed the Damienn Jones page before seeing that you'd AfD'd the other one. I'm not sure how best to clean this up, what should we do next? --Physics is all gnomes (talk) 19:24, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

University Historical Presidents articles

Hi there, I see you have also been patrolling and tagging these pages. I am considering nominating all of these pages for speedy deletion. What are your thoughts? Philip.t.day talk 10:01, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. I may give the original editor a day or so to have the chance to improve the subs. It is possible that they created the series, in preparation for major improvements. The first in the series seems to be slightly more substantial. Philip.t.day talk 10:12, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey CFJ+sd, jumped in and added to what you said, and hope I didn't tread on your toes in any way. I'm suffering severe "AfD Fatigue", and sincerely hoping that this matter does not go that way. Just a little "heads-up".--Shirt58 (talk) 12:22, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

last message

Hi,

thanks for your e-mail. I just saw it. I changed the sentence again but if it is reverted, I'll avoid the edit war. I already put the explanation in the talk page, otherwise I'll just appeal to place a POV tag on the article. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dimestore (talk • contribs) 13:29, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

edit war

Hi,

 I have not reverted to any more editing. The page has since been blocked since I last sent you the previous e-mail, so I have not edited anything anymore. To say that I have is not factual. I respected your last e-mail and you need but to see the time of my last edit for proof. The original POV sentence is still on the page. I have taken my argument to the talk section and have also requested a POV tag to be added to the article as per your suggestion.
