::We should probably just change that section to "Properties". As to who made the original edit, it could just be somebody who bought something from there, and given the queue I found when I went in there Christmas shopping (good stocking fillers for female relatives), that's a whole bunch of people.

:We are not really a shopping guide and three floors isn't much in that street. I don't feel strongly about it but doubt the average cosmetics shopper would bother to add it.

Notice of Neutral point of view noticeboard discussion

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Philafrenzy, do you plan to make the necessary expansion to this article so it meets the 5x expansion requirement, or should I mark it for closure? It's been a week since you were pinged. Please respond on the nomination right away. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:19, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
For making several improvements to Bartlett's Buildings that improved it a good deal.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 03:14, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you I dream of horses. You have inspired me to expand it a bit more. More later. There's a lot of mileage (pun intended!) in these old London streets, even the ones that no longer exist. Perhaps particularly those. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:39, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'd hate to say this so soon after complimenting your efforts, but can you try to use stub templates more specific than {{stub}}? Category:Stubs has gotten quite backlogged. Thanks.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 01:48, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sound advice. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:21, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sound advice, yes. You don't have to follow it if you can't figure out stub sorting, or have another equally legitimate to not stub sort. That's what {{stub}} is for.
One of my pet peeves is when people use the page curation bar to get to the next page on Special:NewPagesFeed ASAP, backlogging Category:Stubs in the process. You don't appear to be rushing through anything, never mind NPP; given that, an occasional Template:Tnulll is okay. -- I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 02:57, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Rich Piana (bodybuilder), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for Deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Amy Burvall

Wikipedian,

I noticed you reverted punctuation and spelling to the British format, but Ms. Burvall appears to be American, and that's why we're using American syntax and spelling on that page. If you have other reasons for doing it, please use that article's talk page to explain and collaborate with other editors. Further reversions without discussions there could be construed disruptive editing. I'm assuming good faith and doubting that's your intent. Thanks mate. 209.117.61.226 (talk) 11:38, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was the reordering of the sentences I changed back. I am quite happy to use American dates etc. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:43, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lush

You can't just take something out and call it "non notable". If we were talking about Lush Building, Oxford Street, sure, that's non-notable (and why we don't have an article on it), but in this instance it was added by an IP here and my general spider-senses told me that it was something the silent majority who don't normally edit WP might expect to find if they're looking in the article. Just my 2c. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's in "Notable buildings". My spider sense tells me its not a notable building and the IP, who only made one edit, worked for Lush! Philafrenzy (talk) 15:36, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We should probably just change that section to "Properties". As to who made the original edit, it could just be somebody who bought something from there, and given the queue I found when I went in there Christmas shopping (good stocking fillers for female relatives), that's a whole bunch of people. I think also I was thinking about systemic bias a bit; shopping for fashionable personal hygiene artefacts isn't really something I think the stereotypical Wikipedian demographic do that much.
