Dear Trident,

If you think Dwell is not a notable subject for somewhere like Wikipedia, please delete the pages for Habitat, John Lewis, House of Fraser, Debenhams, The Westfield Group, British Land, and any other successful UK companies first.

Or better yet, just leave Wikipedia.


Please do forward this issue to an administrator. An article on Dwell which keeps being stripped of all content is no use to anyone. As soon as you leave this article alone, this issue will end.

Dear Trident,

If you think Dwell is not a notable subject for somewhere like Wikipedia, please delete the pages for Habitat, John Lewis, House of Fraser, Debenhams, The Westfield Group, British Land, and any other successful UK companies first.

Or better yet, just leave Wikipedia.

Please do forward this issue to an administrator. An article on Dwell which keeps being stripped of all content is no use to anyone. As soon as you leave this article alone, this issue will end.

PLEASE NOTE: Like many, I have a day job. So if I don't answer your question or point as quickly as you may request, please forgive me: Thank You!

Hanwell cemeteries

Even in a little place like Hanwell there is more than one cemetery so you need to give your articles more formal names so that people wont have to guess which ones you writing about. There are three cemeteries in Hanwell. Two inner London boughs have one each and they both refer to them as “their” Hanwell Cemetery just to add to the confusion.

Also, I have had a look at your link to the Westminster cemetery website and I think they meant to say that the cemetery was originally owned by St George, Hanover Square, before being taken over by City of Westminster and thus having its name changed (from St George's) to become the new “City of Westminster Cemetery

There is a brief bit of history that might make things clearer, and that you may want to include in you article: [1]

This composite image will show how much confusion the present article could create with the current title . Think that a new title “City of Westminster Cemetery, Hanwell” fits in well with the WP naming convention. Don't forget to go back and check any articles you may have updated in error.--Aspro (talk) 13:29, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your note - I hope this finds you well! I came at this from wanting to write an article on the Not Forgotten Association (on a personal stub presently, in development), which lead to me writing the article stub on its founder Marta Cunningham, which lead to me writing the article on Hanwell Cemetery, where she is buried! I notice that Mill Hill Cemetery, which is also a City of Westminster location, is far more interesting (lots of war grave stuff, so lots of refs), but again doesn't presently have an article. Not being a local I defer to your greater knowledge, and happy that you move it to the suggested title of "City of Westminster Cemetery, Hanwell." What would be your suggestion on the naming of any article on Mill Hill Cemetery, and equally should the article on East Finchley Cemetery be named in the same convention?

Barnstar

The Original Barnstar
I just noticed how many new articles that you have created and thought wow! So I award you the original barnstar for your contributions, keep up the good work! :) Jdrewitt (talk) 14:11, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Digital Digging

Hi, I noticed from my watchlist you had removed loads of external links to Digitaldigging. Is there a particular problem with this site (has it been added to a blacklist or something) which would prevent it being used as a reference or is it just its inclusion as an external list which you are changing?— Rod talk 12:57, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message - I hope this finds you well! I wrote the stub-article Marden Henge and had it on my watchlist, and noticed that Frogbit had added a link to that article, and placed it above the official English Heritage link. Looking at that users edit record, I noticed a similar pattern to the entirety of their edits: place a link to digitaldigging, and placed above any official/main website. I looked at digitaldigging which seems highly adwords powered, and as Frogbit broke the rules on WP:LINKSPAM, reverted his edit path. I placed a note on Frogbit talkpage, and thought I would watch further before deciding on next actions. If you think that any of the digitaldigging links do add value to the various articles, then happy to support their addition - but its just the clear WP:LINKSPAM I was reacting to. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 00:03, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK I've looked through and used some of the digital digging pages as references - particularly where no other references were included in the articles or where they include information wp didn't have (eg Scheduled Ancient Monument status). I also noticed User:Richerman had reverted your deletion on Sweet Track. Frogbit may have added loads of these links so I can see why you applied WP:LINKSPAM but many of them are useful.— Rod talk 10:54, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wales

I have put the Wales article forward for GA status. It just needs tweaking, and maybe a heavy-handed swipe from outside to get it in place. I am writing to those who are constant contributors and defenders of Wales and Welsh articles, to not scream at me for doing this, but to help get the article through. If we fail, we fail, there is nothing wrong with that; but Wales should be a Good Article at least and if it takes good intentioned amateurs to reach that then so be it.

Category for deletion

I have nominated for deletion a category which you created, Category:West Country Carnival. Discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 October 15#Category:West Country Carnival. Tim! (talk) 18:41, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dwell (retailer)

Hi, I noticed you edited the Dwell retail page, to downgrade the company's status from 20 stores to 19. Please explain this to me; write to john_secure@yahoo.com. Please do not make further libelous edits to the Dwell (retailer). Dwell is a company and you must not make false edits to it's page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.64.222 (talk) 00:43, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message, but can I please refer you to the rules of wikipedia, WP:AGF. I edited the article down from a piece of spam, to something which could pass for a suitable entry to an encyclopedia. The number of stores at that point according to teh companies website was 19 - hence the downgrade. The article still lacks inline references (the tag for which I note that you removed), and without such could therefore be subject to removal. As I assume you are associated with the company, please note your association on the articles talkpage under WP:BIAS, and add suitable inline references which back up the claims you have added.

Nomination of Catherine McQueen for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article Catherine McQueen, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Catherine McQueen until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Cirt (talk) 12:18, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Outcasts (TV series)

Hi. I've noticed you've reverted my edits at Outcasts (TV series). Sorry if my edit summaries were not detailed enough. Firstly, the name Outcasts in the first line should be italic per WP:ITALIC so it should be Outcasts not Outcasts. Secondly, there is no need to add the {{Italic title}} template as it has now been incorporated within the code of {{Infobox television}} (see here), which means now it is not necessary to add the {{Italic title}} template to individual television show articles, instead they are automatically italicised when the infobox is added. Thanks! Mhiji (talk) 00:33, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Somerset pictures

Hi, I've noticed that you've added loads of great pictures to Somerset articles & I've reused some of them on Portal:Somerset which I've been trying to improve - hope that's OK. If you have or know of others which would be suitable for the Portal:Somerset/Selected picture section could you let me know or add them? Also I've been working my way through Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Somerset and wondered if you might have any suitable photos for those articles which are missing them?— Rod talk 09:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
