Bus reference

Thanks for adding the reference that's really great. I'll still debate if buses are "generally" that big but it always helps to have a reference! SimonTrew (talk) 19:00, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Removing merge templates

You seem to have removed the merge-discussion templates I put on ROF Aycliffe and Aycliffe Angels. If you personally disagree with the suggestion, that's fine, but it'd be more useful to tell other editors what you think on Talk:ROF Aycliffe so that we can discuss the issue properly. When we've had a few opinions, we can either merge the articles or remove the templates. Thanks. --McGeddon (talk) 08:36, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I have 1 granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Swine flu

Firstly, I want to say it was a perfectly good edit.

Secondly, how did you do that so fast??? Anonywiki (talk) 18:11, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk page vandalism

Hi. Just a quick thanks for reverting that vandalism on my talk page. ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 19:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Mazo de la Roche

have you read any of her books or know the character Finch whom the article says is akin to the author herself? If not leave it be.81.156.131.121 (talk) 21:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

See reply on your talk page (81.156.131.121 talk) Fraggle81 (talk) 21:47, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I think if you are challenging the comment for accuracy you can revert it but the article says that the author was herself like the character Finch who was gay if you read between the lines. I am endlessly reverted by two or three Irish republican guard dogs who slant all the articles and then quote Wikipedia policy like Soviet commissars to deny any additions. I don't vandalise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.165.51 (talk) 17:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

You wrote "As it says on my user page edits are made in good faith. I was acting on your previous warnings and the content of your edit looked very much like vandalism. I'm sorry if you feel aggrieved by my reverting your edit and I hope you can also see my point. Fraggle81 (talk) 21:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I see your point but hope you accept my good fath in the matter. The edit links to the article's inferences about de la Roche. I've read many of the books tho a long time ago. 81.156.28.39 (talk) 13:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Your good fath is questionable! --Domer48_'fenian' 17:07, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

for this. And <3 your screen name, you're going to get the Fraggle Rock theme in my head ;) StarM 03:13, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Russian as second language of Lithuania and Latvia

You reverted my edits where I put in the infobox that Russian was the language of interethnic communication in Lithuania and Latvia. It was no spam : I just wanted to highlight the fact that, according to reliable surveys, Lithuanian and Latvian people speak fluent Russian just like in most of FSU countries. It's the same with french in North Africa or English in India. Maybe "language of interethnic communication" was unapropriate and that "second language" would fit betterMitch1981 (talk) 18:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure that was me? if you're referring to this edit I was reverting a bad edit of another user to the last version by you, If not please show me which edit you mean. Thanks Fraggle81 (talk) 20:56, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

My mistake ! Sorry !Mitch1981 (talk) 21:00, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Gas safe register

Hi there,

i appreciate that this change was a little while ago, but i only just spotted it. You conducted a copy and paste move of the page Gas safe register to a capitalised version. This was against wikipedia policy as if you wished to complete this move, it should have been via the page move functionality. It also goes against the WP:MOSCAPS guidance on capitalisation. As such, I have replaced your redirect back to the orginal page. I have also checked to ensure content hasn't been lost, and reinserted the single paragraph lost in my moving it back. I haven't yet had an opporunity to look at the edit history, but between my last version and your last version, several external citations were lost, which is not really in the spirit of WP:CITE, as it is relying solely on a single (biased) source. Hope that explains it, any questions, please feel free to get back to me. Regards, OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 18:54, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok what happened here was that I saw a red link on the CORGI page for Gas Safe Register and created the page with fresh content, there was no copy and pate from your content, I have only recently found your version. Also as I understand it the capitalisation of the page I created is correct since it is the name of an organisation, pages such as Child Support Agency have all capitals as does United Nations and Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency showing a clear precedent for this. Fraggle81 (talk) 21:17, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

No problems, that's perfectly understandable! I'm not 100% sure on the capitalisation for this example - you're right that proper names get capitalised if they normally are, and i've gone back to check. However, they don't do it consistently themselves or in the media, but as the trade mark seems to be capitalised, i'll ask for a page merge at the capitalised version. Thanks for your prompt response. OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 06:13, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Gas Safe Register

Just to note, when I reverted, I had checked the site, but the section on Northern Ireland was hidden away somewhat. More importantly, when you made the change, it meant that the references didn't support it, which is out of kilter with wp:cite and wp:v. It's important when making changes like UK/GB which are frequently misued due to personal preference or bias - and which in fact you've misused in the past of this article ([1]), to make sure theres an up to date source. I've temporarily put in the GSR website link for NI, but really it should be an independent 3rd party source, if you have one that would be great.
