How to create a category
Let us say you have thought of a new category you want to place some articles in. To create this new category, go to one of the pages that you wish to put there, and add a category tag naming the new category to the end of the article, like this:
...where in place of Once you are sure your new name is good to go: Click on the redlink, and then click on the article creation link provided in the instructions that appear on your screen. You will need to put a parent category on the new page, and then save the page. Going forward you can put your newly named category at the bottom of pages that you wish to add your new category to. Categories with too few pages in them are usually nominated for deletion. – – To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}

I saw the good work you were doing on various law-related articles, and thought I'd say hello (setting aside temporarily the Middle/Inner Temple rivalry for the greater good of Wikipedia!) If there's anything I can do to help, do let me know. Best wishes, Bencherlite 19:25, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Wadham College userbox
I know it's not really the "done thing" to edit other people's user pages, but I thought I would ignore that particular rule to leave a little something for you... I thought the text-only version of the "Wadham student" userbox was a bit boring, so I borrowed and cropped a photo from the Wadham article. I did think about using the coat of arms, but the version on Wikipedia isn't a "free use" version, only a "fair use" - I'm not a copyright lawyer, I just do what WP says! - and WP doesn't approve of fair-use images in userboxes. Anyway, hope you like it. The template is {{user wadham oxon alumnus}} and is basically a cut-and-paste version of {{user wadham oxon}} but adding a photo instead of the last section. I can't work out how to get rid of the yellow comma, though! Best wishes, Bencherlite 21:32, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. My first template! Changing topic slightly, you might also be interested in a certain WikiProject - then you'll be entitled to another userbox, too! There is a WikiProject for law, but I must admit that I've done nothing to help it since signing up... Bencherlite 21:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Your VandalProof Application
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Ukexpat. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that: you have under 250 mainspace edits. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. Prodego talk 16:15, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Jeffrey Hackney, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}}
to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. T Van Wormer 20:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to VandalProof!
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Ukexpat! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply download and install VandalProof from our main page.

AutoWikiBrowser
Thank you for your recent application to use AutoWikiBrowser. Regrettably, I have declined your request as you do not have 500 mainspace edits. You are welcome to apply again at a later time. Feel free to contact me with any questions, alphachimp 20:54, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
WP:FU
Your violation of WP:FU on Rhona Mitra has been reverted. --Yamla 20:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- You said: "I was under the impression that my use of this image was fair use - it is also used in the Kit McGraw article."
- As per WP:FU, we may not use fair-use images to depict living people. --Yamla 20:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries
Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be nearly nonexistent low:
- Edit summary usage for Ukexpat: 0% for major edits and 3% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 143 minor edits in the article namespace.
Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists. Thanks and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 12:08, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the League of Copyeditors
I'm very sorry I haven't had a chance to welcome you earlier, I have been incredibly busy lately. We are glad to have your help. Currently, we have really cut down the backlog of articles in need of copyedit. Therefore, a major goal at this moment is to identify new articles that are in need of work. When you run across them, be sure to tag them for copyediting.
If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to drop me a line. Trusilver 06:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the welcome. Fly safe. --ukexpat 13:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for cleaning up the article Alex Leake. However, you made two changes with which I disagree.
The title of two web-pages cited included a range of years which the original author had used a hyphen to separate, e.g. Quietly Making History ... Part Two: 1911-1915. When quoting the name of a work I would think it best to quote it accurately, in this case with the original hyphen.
Secondly, you changed the separator between the dates of birth and death in the opening paragraph from a spaced en-dash to a spaced em-dash. MOS:DATE#Dates of birth and death examples use the spaced en-dash. I see no reason to go against the MoS.
Again, thank you for taking the time and trouble to look over the article. Struway2 | Talk 23:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Max Mosley
I object most strongly to your identification of my four edits of Max Mosley as vandalism, which led to them being deleted. Each and every one of them was carefully sourced. They were researched at some length and to have them wiped out so dismissively, arbitrarily and unfairly is frustrating. They concern an important subject. Please justify and please reconsider. Duncan Berger (talk • 00:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Dear Ukexpat, you posted the following on my talk page in response to my above:
If you had checked the history page for the Max Mosley article carefully you would have seen that it was not I who reverted your edits but user Kl4m.
Sorry, I misinterpreted K14m's comments which, to this new user's eyes at any rate, were ambiguously phrased. When he wrote "reverted 4 edits by Duncan Berger identified as vandalism to last revision by Ukexpat", I thought he meant that he had reverted my edits after they had been identified by yourself as vandalism to the last revision. I now see what he meant, i.e. that he had reverted my edits to the last revision made by yourself. As I say, please bear with me as I'm new, although perhaps a well-placed comma would have helped! Please also note, btw, that I never accused you of reverting my edits, as you suggest, but rather of identifying them as vandalism - however, that was incorrect in itself and once again I apologise. I was always aware that it was K14m who did the actual reversion and I left him a message at the same time, which led to his own message, reconsidering the reversion, which you have noted. Duncan Berger 11:01, 20 September 2007

League of Copyeditors roll call
Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors. |

The editor who created this article removed the speedy tag, but I do think that it should not be a speedy candidate. I have adding an unreferenced tag, and perhaps you may feel that it should go to AFD. Random Fixer Of Things (talk) 19:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of User talk:Endexxco
A tag has been placed on User talk:Endexxco, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:User talk:Endexxco|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 22:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

{{prod}}?
You prodded guest house (lodging). Is checking the "what links here" button part of the due diligence you do before you place a {{prod}} on an article? Almost 50 articles point at that article.
I am not saying that clearing the wikipedia of cruft isn't important. It is important. But, in my experience, some of your colleagues who volunteer for the quality control patrols are hasty, and don't do simple obvious homework before they make their nomination.
I urge you to always check the "what links here" button before you make a nomination, if you aren't already doing so.
I don't think checking the actual article should have been part of your due diligence. But, I recently went through all of them, prior to drafting the stub you prodded. If you checked you would find that something like half of those articles refer to hotels, motels, hostels, bed and breakfasts and guest houses. It seems to me that the authors of those articles clearly thought that guest houses were different from those other kinds of lodgings. If you knew this would you have still recommended deletion?

CSD:A7
Hi. :) I came across your speedy deletion tag on Xerrox Vol.1, and I just wanted to point out to you that {{db-a7}} is specifically for people (individually or grouped) and websites. There is currently no consensus for speedily deleting other articles types under this criterion. Other articles that fail to assert notability should go through proposed deletion or articles for deletion. Thanks for keeping an eye out on article quality. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Can I just add to Moonriddengirl's comments, if you are going to add the A7 tag to articles, can you please check the page history before requesting speedy deletion? I noticed you tagged the clearly notable band Atreyu (band) for speedy deletion on notability concerns, but the article had just been vandalised to the version you tagged. I have reverted the vandalism, but if you check the history you should be able to clearly see that an editor who had just been warned for vandalism had just deleted a lot of text from the article.[1] --Canley (talk) 01:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Not to pile on here, because the vast majority of your speedy tags are valid. However, please go back and read the criteria for CSD A1. The article Jensen 541S was quite clearly not a no context article by Wikipedia definition. Thanks, Keeper | 76 21:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Arnold
How did i vandalize my own article about my dear not friend Arnold.
I was wondering about this. After seeing your note on the above page, I’ll see what I can do to clean it up. —Travistalk 16:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC) Sorry, we weren't able to suggest any articles for you. Something is probably wrong on our end.
A probeto the artical of Agha Zia ud din
Dear
Agha Zia ud din rizvi was considered as a prominent religious clerics in his contemporaries. This statement was ti men again broad casted in Geo Tv, Ptv , Ary, VOA and in Western media as well. And even I can provide evidence from the international news papers, moreover his martyrdom was condemn by the Ex-President of Iran Muhammad Khatimi during a Friday prayer at Tehran University. Moreover he was the more inflencial political and religious figure of Pakistan. On this base i am requesting you to please reactivate my Artical other wise it would be considered as a huge injustice. If not I will request you to provide a sole reason for your rejection.
With Regards

Re: Would appreciate your advice...
Looking at your response on his talk page, I think you handled it quite well; it's totally appropriate to delete his comments off of your own talk page if you decide to. I don't think the individual is necessarily a vandal, just someone who needs to realize that this isn't a traditional forum where ridiculous behavior might be tolerated. This was actually the first time I've instituted a 1 hour block, I'm almost always on a heavy side of the banhammer --but something about his edit history said there might be a salvageable member. I've put his talk page on my watchlist, so I'll know if he goes crazy again. BTW, I looked at your userpage after reading your response on his talk page and wasn't surprised to see you're a fellow attorney; again, good response. If he bugs you again, don't hesitate to let me know and I can help out. --Bobak (talk) 18:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Advice
Hi there. You have recently deleted a page I added on the IT service Management providers page - Touchpaper, as advertising. I have been trying to add it for sometime without much success. I understand that Wikipedia is not a site for free advertisting and I do work for Touchpaper but I feel that Touchpaper should be on the vendor list as it has a 6 process Pink Verify Accreditation and is in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, unlike some of the other vendors listed, and therefore a major player in the industry. I have tried to mimic the content on other pages to avoid it being advertising but that hasn't worked. I have left comments on the talk page but this has not been responded to. Would it be possible to get some advice on how I can go about adding a page which is suitable for Wikipedia? Thank you Sarahannlewis (talk) 19:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC) Thank you for your message, I discovered the advice pages earlier and have since created a page I feel adheres to the guidelines. I hope it meets the required crieria. Thank you for your help Sarahannlewis (talk) 21:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I just posted my first article on the topic of "geeksleep". It was deleted and I *think* it said you made that choice. I'm curious as to how it could be amended to remain on the site. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerryjerryjerry (talk • contribs) 20:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Personal attacks
Hello. I didn't make a personal attack. I just copied the text from this website and created an article about that. But I agree with the deletion of this article, this time. It was unnecessary and a failure from me. I feel sorry for that. D@rk talk 21:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't think about my action when I created this article. Well, is there a way to let that admin know that I feel sorry for that? I really don't wanna get in serious trouble. D@rk talk 21:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. And I won't do that again, promise. Cheers, D@rk talk 21:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I have removed your prod claiming non notability- real towns and villages are always considered notable. Feel free to nominate for deletion via AfD claiming non existence, Google Maps doesn't seem to have it... J Milburn (talk) 18:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
speedy
Speedy A7 for lack of notability can be used only for the limited number of categories included in WP:CSD. the article Intervention inventory does not fall into any of these. DGG (talk) 17:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think I've been to your talkpage before.. Hmm... if an article -- regardless of WP:COI concerns, regardless of length, readability, formatting, or coherency -- asserts notability similarly to the last one that I removed the speedy tag from, then it cannot be speedied by A7. Anything that asserts notability, regardless of whether it asserts it correctly, is not a speedy. Bring it to AfD. The most recent example is Built NY Inc. While I don't think that it would survive an AfD, it is not a speedy. It claims to have won an award, and therefore deserves to be deleted by consensus. You tagged it within an hour of creation, and creation by a new user at that. Have you read WP:AGF and WP:BITE? I am not an inclusionist, and I think you need to tread slowly on the speedies. Let me know if you feel I'm off base here. Keeper | 76 23:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
I am sorry that I am at work and hence don't have the time to write a good article on this medical drug. I was looking it up on the internet and noticed that you didn't have an article about it, hence I thought to start one, with the hope that someone else has time to finish it. It is in MIMS hence I would think that it is a relevant drug to list, but that is not my decision to make. Dyinghappy (talk) 04:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Addendum - my mistake - it seems that I wrote it as Digesic by accident. I will redirect, as per Di-Gesic. Dyinghappy (talk) 04:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi! I'm the author of the article on Krypton Egg and Killerball, and I'm wondering why you are proposing them both to deletion describing them as "Non-notable, unencyclopedic". I know that they are not particularly enriched but they are describing video games which actually exist and should have their place on wikipedia. Furthermore, other articles of the same kind (like impossamole for example) are already displayed on wikipedia and nobody asked for their deletion.

HYACKs (MN)
This article consisted of text that I did not write. I created a page on a large group called HYACKs, and another contributor added info about another group by the same name in Minnesota. I removed the text from the body of my article and created a new page for it. I guess the page was way too non-notable and I should have left it in a "Other Groups" portion of my page, but it's extremely annoying that you deleted it within hours of posting a Non-Notability Notice. In fact I was still on the computer not even 2 hours later when I came back and the article had already been deleted. You need to at least give the creator time to either remove it or something. Because of your OCD-like deletion, I now have lost that text and cannot recover it (as it was not my info) to place it back in my article. Don't do it again please. Mullins421 (talk) 21:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- You've got the wrong guy here, Mullins421. User:Ukexpat is not an admin and does not have the capability of deleting articles. He simply nominated it. Another user, an admin User:Irishguy deleted the article. It was deleted on the grounds of not asserting notability (in other words, why do you feel it belongs in an encyclopedia?). If you'd like, I repost the information (your work) into your userspace so you can continue to work on it. That isn't a promise that it would ever make it into the mainspace, just a good faith gesture to give you a chance to prevent you from getting frustrated. Let me know if you'd like a copy of the article's contents. I will post this on your talkpage as well. Keeper | 76 21:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College entry
I have nothing against a determination that any information on the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College should be included in the entry for Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and thus redirect there. However, I do have a problem with such information being completely wiped in a redirect when the information in the entry exceeds that in the latter's entry. I do not appreciate having to redo the research necessary to document the history of the college. Wiikiwiiki (talk) 12:43, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Adam Hutchison
Just a friendly heads up on Adam Hutchison. I had to remove your speedy request because there is a claim of notability in the article (Young Scientist of the Year award). However, I can't verify this claim, so I've prodded the article.--Fabrictramp (talk) 19:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
--Claire Wynn (talk) 21:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
We are talking about a Universal Gazetteer of the early 19th century. I am sure you are not a historian. But it must take into account that when this book was printed there was a very limited number of Gazetteers in the world. I think this entry should be expanded but not deleted. Why don’t you check in the external link attached and see for yourself what sort of book we are talking about. (text moved)
Per your suggestion on the talk page, I changed the article to a redirect to William Andrews. This necessitated removing your prod template, but since you made the redirect suggestion, I assumed you wouldn't mind. --SierraSciSPA (talk) 22:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
KarsKormak/Tracker sub page
Thanks! Sorry about that. So to create a sub page, I first:
1) Create a link in my Talk page, such as User:KarsKormak/MyTestPage
2) Click the link to open the new page
3) Edit away
Is this the correct procedure? KarsKormak (talk) 18:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
This isn't right.
Keep my artical, it's just a myth. How ome there can be an artical on Mythology but not on any other myths? It's violating amendment 1. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Homieg88 (talk • contribs) 02:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
HYACKs (MN)
I didn't have a problem with your deletion of the article, because as I said, I was merely moving text that someone else added from my article to it's own article. What I did have a problem with was not discussing it or giving me a chance to re-incorporate the text back into my article. You are not entirely at fault, it was mostly the fault of the admin who deleted it an hour later. No harm done, and sorry for any hurt feelings. Mullins421 (talk) 02:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

questions on making Loring page a stub
Hi Ukexpat,
Thank you for checking out my first article on Ray Loring. I am a new user here and trying to learn the ropes.
I have a couple questiones for you:
-I don't know how to make my page a stub
-I know this man and so how do I inform the reader this is taken from personal conversation?
-The links provided are true sources and can be verified.
Thank you for your help!

Help!
Why is this page being marked for deletion? It follows your guidelines and contains the same information you have allowed for other companies that are competitors of XOTIC PC. The competitors pages are still on wiki. (XOTICPC is the word)
Can you help me correct whatever is wrong so I can post this to your website?

I've declined the speedy tag you placed on Arkansas Traveler (boat line). The reason I declined it is because the article is about boats, not the company using them, so it's not subject to CSD A7. For your information, עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
