Hi there! To keep the flow of conversations, I like to keep threads on one page where possible. So, if you post a message here, I'll probably respond to it here. Conversely, if I post a message on your talk page, you can respond there if you wish; since I've edited your talk page I'll have it on my watchlist. Thanks!
If you wish to contact me privately you can email me
Kirkby Lonsdale is not a post town. Its post town is CARNFORTH, Lancs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.80.105 (talk) 21:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
- It was reverted for the wrong county. Westmorland died years ago. Kirkby Lonsdale is in Cumbria. I've re-edited for the post town Ronhjones (Talk) 21:43, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Émile Chartier
It must be because the blogger has made the same mistake. Here's a picture of the atheist Chartier (born 1868, a.k.a. 'Alain') [1] And here's a later picture of the French-Canadian Émile Chartier, the priest (born 1876). [2]. The earlier photo (which was on the page I edited) appears here [3], the Canadian-French Catholic Association.
Even if one were to claim that photo 1 is more like photo 3 than photo 2, you would also have to explain why Alain, known to be an atheist humanist philosopher, would be wearing a clerical collar in a photograph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.241.130 (talk) 20:32, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
- I think you are probably correct, two people same name, and someone else has made the same mistake on another web site. I have to agree that the second and third photos are the same, and the first is different. Ronhjones (Talk) 20:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the revert.
Thanks for the revert on my talk page archive. I was watching him doing it in Huggle. Martin451 (talk) 23:14, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
- So was I :-) Ronhjones (Talk) 23:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Perot Systems
The recent edit you made to Perot Systems constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to add content from articles without explanation. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.187.0.164 (talk) 23:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- Nothing new was added. Your removal of valid content without any explanation was reverted Ronhjones (Talk) 00:02, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Mark Deutrom info
I am an authorized biographer of Mr. Deutrom. ALL of the info in the article is completely OBJECTIVE and VERIFIABLE. Please let the page be. I'm sure there are more important articles for you to be policing. I assure you that the article is true and written with respect to Mr. Deutrom. Also, please stop sending me threatening messages. I am not involved in an editing war or committing vandalism, and have no conflict of interest in editing this article. I am just trying to convey true and accurate information about Mr. Deutrom. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ActingEditor (talk • contribs) 22:31, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- If you are the authorized biographer then you certainly have a real WP:COI as tagged by another editor.
- If the data is so VERIFIABLE - then WHERE are the references?
- I sent NO threatening messages - the message (just the ONE - not plural) was a standard template message for Content removal without a valid explanation. Removal of valid maintenance templates fits this occasion.
- Your actions do not convey the impression of someone "trying to convey true and accurate information" Ronhjones (Talk) 22:40, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Why delete the daily mail comments
Everyone knows the daily mail is run by facists, I just stated the truth —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.48.62 (talk) 23:17, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- Everyone knows is NOT a WP:RS. Find such a source, and we can let it in. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:20, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
a fan of the daily mail talking to me about realiably sources. this is the best laugh I've had in ages (talk) 6 August 2009 —Preceding undated comment added 23:28, 6 August 2009 (UTC).
- Did I miss something - I don't seem to recall I said I was a fan...! I've not seen one for weeks, there's only ever "The Sun", and "Daily Star" in the canteen at work. Ronhjones (Talk) 00:25, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
You were NOT stating the 'truth', it is silly libellous comments like yours which is why I have applied for semi-protection for the article. I will report your IP address if any more edits are added. Thank you Ronhjones for removing the abusive edits. Christian1985 (talk) 14:29, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Greenwich
Hey. I'm on a router and my brother-in-law attempted a mass edit of Greenwich to exclude the "W" in order to in an argument over its spelling. He was caught in the act and the edit is not a representation of my usual activity editing Wikipedia. I apologize for the inconvenience. 24.250.40.66 (talk) 02:29, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Then why not consider an account, it will cost you nothing, then you can edit under your user name. If anyone else on the same router edits, then they will be logged as the IP address - if they play up and get message and/or blocked, if won't affect yourself, and you won't be plagued with their messages. Ronhjones (Talk) 19:07, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- I have an account, but it isn't involved in this matter, which is why I haven't brought it in. 24.250.40.66 (talk) 23:27, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- See? Bohsocks (talk) 23:28, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- I see. Then you might want to consider not editing with the IP address, in case it gets used by someone else - possible that an editor could report for WP:SOCK - just a thought. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:44, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

template swansea city
plz dont revert again. i created it and i need to fix sum thin so i trying different things out. Swanseajack4life (talk) 23:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- It was not reverted. If a page is blanked by the major author then most editors will put an A7 CSD template on it - don't leave it blank if you want to keep it ready. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:10, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
ok then. wat i had tried didnt work. i made a double template on the subjectthe only difference is a full stop at the end of c and i am trying to delete the one without the dot. do u know how i can sort this out? Swanseajack4life (talk) 23:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- Have a read at WP:CSD - just add the appropriate template to the top of the page - if you are the major contributor then use the template on Template:Db-g7. Some time later and admin will delete the page for you. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
thanks for the advice. i will try it out 2moro —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swanseajack4life (talk • contribs) 23:25, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Maeve Binchy
I appreciate the vigilance you have shown with regard to vandalism. However, the edit I have made is not vandalism. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you still consider it to be vandalism. I will revert in good faith. --86.12.24.209 (talk) 22:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- I suggest you re-read your edits. occupation = Mangetout looks like vandalism to most people. Ronhjones (Talk) 22:44, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- I beg your pardon! lol It seems we've both been in error. The addition of mangetout was made before my edit. I think the first person to revert my edit put the correct occupation in and I changed it back unthinkingly... I didn't think about the word mangetout, embarrassingly! I shall restore my edits (and my removal of the hidden white text vandalism), WITHOUT restoring the incorrect occupation, and hopefully that will be that! My apologies for the misunderstanding. --86.12.24.209 (talk) 22:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Why? Is there a guideline? --Leyo 23:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Do you mean WP:D, WP:MOSDAB, and in particular MOS:DABRL? Disambiguation pages are not Articles. The "ideal" disambiguation pages is a list of two or more items, each with a single blue link, which helps the user to find the proper Article page (s)he wants.
- The ideal one maybe. Ideally, European chemical Substances Information System would already exist on en-WP. On de-WP, there are hundreds of links to European chemical Substances Information System. --Leyo 23:27, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- But nothing on en-WP even links to the non existent European chemical Substances Information System page, (except this page now!) - check Special:WhatLinksHere/European chemical Substances Information System, also that red link had been in place for a year. You know what us Brits are like - we are not that interested in Europe (unless forced)! Also for what it's worth, I'm an industrial chemist, and I've not heard of it. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- That's your fault, see Special:LinkSearch/http://ecb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/esis. :-) --Leyo 23:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

John Wimber
Hi, I am busy finding the sources at the moment, please could you put it back on so I can add them, it took me ages to write, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.240.233.198 (talk) 23:33, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Nothing is ever deleted from a live article - everything is there in the history, just click the History Tab and find the one you want, you can then select edit and copy the old data so that you can paste it into the current page. The old page you want can be seen at [[4]], but it cannot be left live until the reference is obtained.
