wikify!
I am sick and fed up with people who leave a message here about an article and fail to provide a wikilink to the article. How do you expect me to read the article if you don't link to it?
I reserve the right to ignore any message which does not provide links where appropriate or has not been signed with ~~~~. Even if the article has been deleted, you should still link to it.
And if that sounds like a grumpy old man, it's because I am ...

disamb Stanton Drew

Thanks for your help with the disambiguation pages for Stanton Drew, I hadn't tried splitting a page before & tried to follow the lead of Avebury & Avebury, Wiltshire but your solution is better - I will just have to go & change all the links to Stanton Drew now... — Rod ^talk 17:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh dear - now I will have to do the same to Avebury! Using ", Wiltshire" to distinguish the two subjects is totally arbitrary. -- RHaworth 17:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Apology

Hi, I dare say you have long forgotten it now but I insulted your (actually rather funny) user photo back in January on Talk:Tam o' Shanter (Burns poem). It was my first real article and I was offended by something you had said to me (I was trying my best and I was only new!), but obviously I now regret it and wanted to apologise, albeit so long after the event. --Guinnog 20:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I had certainly forgotten about it, but apology gladly accepted. -- RHaworth 07:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry I have mistaken my readings. I thought wikipedia deleted my Wiki-Project my mistake. And im curios how do you request for wikipedia administrator? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Kings Of Cleverness (talk • contribs)

Requests for adminship are made at requests for adminship but if you are thinking of applying, I suggest that: a) you learn to sign comments on talk pages with ~~~~ and b) you get a few hundred (Main) namespace edits under your belt. -- RHaworth 07:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for your attention to the YaR GnitS situation re: Gay ICP etc. I have logged a full complaint against him at WP:ANI: [1] Feel free to add any details I've overlooked, and thanks again. Kasreyn 07:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Help with disambiguation (again)

After your help with disambiguation pages for Stanton Drew, could I ask for some more help as I can't get my head around correctly creating disam pages. I have done a stub for Draycott Sleights (an SSSI in Somerset) and was going to do an article on Draycott (village in Somserset) but found an article about Draycott railway station (in Derbyshire) with a red link to Draycott and a red link to Draycott in the Clay on the List of civil parishes in Staffordshire, and a red link (named Draycott) to Draycott, Gloucestershire on List of places in Gloucestershire. I am very confused about the best way to write the article about Draycott (Somerset) without the others around the country linking to it. Can you point me to a (simple) explanation or what to do or help me out here? — Rod ^talk 14:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

This message popped up while I was in the midst of sorting Avebury! Draycott is dead easy: create Draycott, Somerset ! I will check for anything that need tidying. -- RHaworth 14:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the redirect

Thanks for the redirect on Lincolnshire Score. I was cleaning up the numbers pages and had no idea what it was about. I inserted the proper link (Yan Tan Tethera) into 20 (number). Yoninah 16:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Essay Non-notability

Hi, not to be insulting, but you could have taken the time to look at the history and the discussion pages for WP:NNOT. I just moved the material yesterday, and theres consensus to move it to Essay:Non-Notability. Does it really have to be in either namespace you suggested? I'm going to move it back to the E:NNOT page, but you're very welcome to discuss the ridiculousness of a new namespace there. Fresheneesz 23:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

BTW, was the page ever put up for speedy deletion? Cause if it was that was damn fast. Fresheneesz 23:47, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Also, I noticed you changed my comment. Would you kindly not do that in the future? Fresheneesz 23:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Reply:

What comment did I change? Where is the consensus for the new title?
I am sure you would agree that the article does not belong in the (Main) namespace. The title Essay:Non-notability is in the (Main) namespace. Creation of a new namespace is a matter of changes to the setup parameters of the MediaWiki software, will only be done after careful discussion and must be done by a bureaucrat or developer. Similarly, there is no precedent for a redirect like E:NNOT. But I am perfectly willing to let you have User:Fresheneesz/Non-notability. -- RHaworth 00:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Well I guess it would be in the main namespace, but only in title. Obviously noone would think that its an actual topic. Whats wrong with having it in the main namespace as long as it looks like another namespace? Fresheneesz 02:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Special:search would think that it was an actual topic - that is sufficient reason. -- RHaworth 04:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Re R Haworth

Hi my name is the same as yours but i dont have a beard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by R Haworth (talk • contribs)

No. You are probably far too young. -- RHaworth 04:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Blocked. --Pilotguy^{(roger that)} 01:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[The above edit was followed by page blanking by user:Arehoarworth.]

Thanks to all three of you who fixed recent vandalism. -- RHaworth 04:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the help cleaning up subpages on my userpage. I'll be following the examples now. Best, Sam 12:36, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Goslar History

Hi there:

I found that the Goslar history entry has been removed. Given that Edinburgh has a seperate history site, and Goslar as Edinburgh holds UNESCO world heritage status it would be wishful, if Goslar too had a seperate history site too.

There have been a lot of evil crimes committed by the Nazis in this town during the second world war and this was only one facette of the history. So do we wish to blank out any historical facts such as slave labour? The history page would have gone much further,but I do not appreciate it very much if someone removes my work.

Recommendations:

Get yourself a user ID, log in before editing, sign talk page edits with ~~~~, don't publish your e-mail address
do not talk of removal - I have not removed anything - it is still there in the history
read my edit where I made two alternative suggestions, neither of which involved suppressing your contribution.

You still here?

CSD

You removed a CSD tag without explanation as a minor edit, which I have reverted. Tyrenius 10:30, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Before I unspeedied surname maps, I had just removed speedy tags from World Network of Biosphere Reserves and Jewish fundamentalism. All three tags had been placed by user:Litclass. The tags seemed to be so misguided, not to say malicious, that when I saw the third, I did not even feel that an edit summary was needed. -- RHaworth 10:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

He gives reasons. It seems more like a case of inexperience. Anyway, his talk page has 3 messages about it now. But other editors also need to know what's going on from edit summaries. Tyrenius 10:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:Guardian

Sorry for the inconvenience I did not know that. Geo. 19:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

SD

Nice job on all the speedy deletions (I looked at the deletion log, and you almost totally fill the first page!) By the way, could you have a look at this page and see if it is actually a CSD, like someone has suggested? Cheers, Killfest2—Daniel.Bryant 10:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Sure - classic {{nn-band}}. -- RHaworth 11:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

deleted pages

Hi RHaworth. I'm wondering--are we supposed to subst: {{deletedpage}} now? --Fang Aili ^talk 13:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Someone has been putting a "long comment" after deletedpage tags (I can't find an example off hand) so that they do not appear in the short articles list. So I used subst to save them the bother. I have not seen it stated as policy. I don't think it important whether you subst or not. -- RHaworth 13:53, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. --Fang Aili ^talk 14:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

What thing is a re-enactment pilum. And where have I published your e-mail address? -- RHaworth 08:48, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Howcome you keep deleting the Official_Lonsdale_College_Logo.jpg Earlier today I updated it to the latest reworking of it by the Lonsdale College and JCR so that people who invariably pinch it off there by right clicking and saving it have the latest and most up-to-date version of it. Surely Wikipedia too would like to have information kept relevant and up-to-date? I realise the first one might have been quite large, so fair enough. But the second one was fine by all accounts, and was suject to the same copyright licencing as the image it originally replaced. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to what you are doing this? As it's quite frustrating. Michaelliffen 02:15, 4 August 2006
