Ara Baliozian

Thanks, I have updated the username and awaiting response. Also, can you explain whether the Ara Baliozian Ara_Baliozian edit was incorrect? I simply added an external link to Ara Baliozian pages and where he posts. His Wikipedia page states 'He now mostly posts his works on different Armenian internet discussion boards' and you can clearly check that those pages are good examples. Let me know if those edits can be reinstated. Thanks. armenianmatch (talk)

shiny New user name

Thanks Bencherlite... thanks for the advise on the articles I have been editing and adding too! The Wikipedia can seem very intimidating to new users. Good to find people who help like you.

Re: Image deletions

Gee, thanks for deleting some of my images here; I uploaded it by mistake, so sorry about that... Blake Gripling (talk) 23:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Detachable Penis

I believe that article should have just had a few sources added, not been deleted. With almost 200k google hits, 25k of them with the correct band name, and 11 mentions in wikipedia, it is totally notable. How do I propose undeletion? Akb4 (talk) 21:54, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

undelete

Thanks for the undelete! I've added a refs section with links to the lyrics, video, and the "all music guide" descriptions of the band and album, and I've removed the tags from the article. Please let me know if you think there are still critical problems with the article. -- Akb4 (talk) 07:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

A new Oxbridge user box

Bencherlite...I am currently in the process of writing a user box for all of the colleges that are part of Oxbridge. This template is meant to replace your current college template. Please take a look at the work in progress and comment on it. My main concerns are college abbreviations and color choice. I am using scarf colors for the colleges. Thank you. - LA @ 17:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

British barrister cat

You asked for my view on the above cat, which is (1) that because there is no such thing as the British bar, it looks very inaccurate when applied to an individual article, and (2) it appears to run counter to the general way of things, which is to delete a more general over-category once a more accurate sub-cat is in place, as is the case with "British barristers" and "Members of X Inn". I understand your point about how it feeds into other cats, but it is very creaky. If it is not possible to get where you want by another route, then, at the very least, more annotation is needed on the cat pages to make it clear how these cats are supposed to work together: otherwise somebody is likely to do the same thing in 6 months. BoxCount | Talk 14:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, thanks, I have already understood your point! I am pointing out that the expression "British barrister" is prone to misinterpretation: if it is to be limited to the meaning of " a barrister of British nationality", there must be a clear explanation on the cat page that that is all it means, as otherwise - as it did to me -it will look as though it is supposed to mean "Member of the British bar", which would of course be a nonsense calling for correction. Some clarifying notes are needed in the approporiate places (though I suspect you will still find that the cat is removed from time to time by people who (a) read it as implying a "British bar" and/or (b) assume that it is a superfluous over-cat to one or the other of the Inns). BoxCount | Talk 15:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

(after a bit more thought) Perhaps this would all work better with some addl cats to keep the nationalities and the qualifications more clearly separate - (eg) if the "Members of X Inn" cats were subcats, not of Category:English barristers→Category:British barristers, but of Category:Members of the English bar→Category:English bar→Category:English law? (+ sth similar for the Scots, N Irish etc; and maybe sth parallel wd also work for solicitors?). Otherwise it's not easy to keep the useful distinction you point to betw Brits/English people who are barristers but not necessarily of the English bar, and barristers of the English bar who are not necessarily English/British, because they get muddled up at the "Cat:English barrister" and "Cat:British barrister" levels. If you think this wd work I'm happy to take on the labour.BoxCount | Talk 01:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Old pages

You've got it right - more than anything I was hoping the name change would also change username mentioned in the (my realname at the time) on the block for the 128.138.82.195 address, I didn't know it wouldn't work out that way. I'm fine with the old information on the talk/user page. -- Scarpy (talk) 23:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! -- Scarpy (talk) 03:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Barristers (cont)

Thanks for the note, and glad you think it would help. I'll go through a few at a time. HeartofaDog (talk) 00:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Don't you just love ...

The users who blank pages. For example the user who blanked Revision history of Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, what do they think will happen? All the info will just disappear!Thright (talk) 05:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC) Good work by the way.
