John Whitelaw

Hi there. I see you have disambiguated John Whitelaw. I don't think this is necessary and went ahead and moved it back. There are currently no other John Whitelaw articles on wikipedia so why dab? If you disagree please reply here.4meter4 (talk) 14:17, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did. And I've copied my reply here.

There are.

And there will be even more.

Please wait for half-an-hour and the differences will become obvious.

I'm assuming you are creating some articles then?4meter4 (talk) 14:21, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spot on! (Clearly, you are a very intelligent wikipedian!!) Pdfpdf (talk) 14:23, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I'll move it back then. :-) I'll start the dab page too. Have fun editing!4meter4 (talk) 14:28, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"I'll move it back then." - Thanks.

"I'll start the dab page too." - Jolly good, and thanks for the warning. (Edit conflicts are ALWAYS easier to avoid than to try and fix!!)

"Have fun editing!" - But of course! What would be the point of editing WP if it wasn't fun?

Cheers, and thanks for the useful, effective, polite, enjoyable, and somewhat amusing communication. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:35, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :-) Glad to entertain. If you could add your new article names to the John Whitelaw dab page now that would be great. Otherwise it might get deleted by some other editor for not having more than one name. Cheers.4meter4 (talk) 14:48, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess great minds think like me. :-) You did it as I was typing. lol4meter4 (talk) 14:49, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yes, I agree. Accordingly, I have done so. (Or at least, I think I have done so. Please advise if I've ... errr ... "made some mistakes".) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BTW: I doubt you're expecting me to disagree with you? ;-) Pdfpdf (talk) 14:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lol I love your quirky humor. Well I don't think you waisted too much time really. Just a hint though; it's usually better to create the new articles first before doing any moving/dab page creation. Saves having to explain yourself. 4meter4 (talk) 15:15, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ROTFL! Well obviously, you are completely correct!! Isn't hindsite wonderful? (I wish I had LOTS more of it - particularly BEFORE the event.) Pdfpdf (talk) 15:22, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. That is a bit confusing. I personally think it would be better for each general to have their own article. Perhaps you could title the articles John Whitelaw, Sr and John Whitelaw, Jr or John Whitelaw the elder and John Whitelaw the younger. Another possibility would be John Whitelaw (1894-1964) and John Whitelaw (1921-2010).4meter4 (talk) 14:34, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely! However, it seems the first and major problem is, which information relates to which John Stewart Whiterlaw!! When that's sorted out, then we'll know which information to put on which page. THEN we can think about how to title the pages! My posting was intended for your amusement - not for your confusion.

All the best, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am amused... but also concerned with the mess at John Whitelaw (general). It's really not good to have live pages in a state like that. It would be better for you to move the content to User:Pdfpdf/sandbox and work on it there until it is ready to go live. You could stubify John Whitelaw (general) in the mean time.4meter4 (talk) 14:50, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. You are quite correct. However, it's past midnight here, and I'm about to sign off. I'm fairly confident that such changes can wait 24 hours without the world ending. However, if you disagree, please feel free to create whatever pages you feel appropriate - you have my "authority" (if you need it) and support. (Just remember to tell me what you've done.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 15:01, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and stubified it to the elder general. I moved the content to User talk:Pdfpdf/sandbox which was empty. Thanks for working on these. If you need any more help feel free to hit me up. Get some rest and take care. Cheers.4meter4 (talk) 15:17, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Thanks. Pdfpdf (talk) 00:18, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Subtle differences

copied from User talk:Tim1357#Subtle differences

Hi. There are subtle differences between these three pairs of files.

I'm trying to determine if the differences are important, and if so, which ones are "right", and which ones are "wrong".
Your bot has correctly identified that only one of each pair is currently in use.
I agree that one of each pair needs to be deleted.
The current problem is, I don't yet know which ones.
When I have so determined, I will place "{{db-g7}}" on the others.
In the interim, if you don't mind, I'll remove your bot's tags. Are you OK with that plan?

John Caligari

Hi Pdfpdf, I've made some tweaks to John Caligari and left some comments on the talk page. If you get a chance, please review my changes. If you don't like them, please feel free to revert. Interestingly a User:Johncal has stopped by. Take care. AustralianRupert (talk) 00:45, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. Yes, I find it VERY interesting that Johncal has stopped by. (There's nothing like getting data and/or confirmation from the source, is there!)

I find it hard to imagine I'd disagree with anything you wrote - you're very thorough and reliable.

Never-the-less, I did review it, and I did review your comments, and as I expected, I agree with all of them.

Keep happy & healthy. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:53, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
