John Hillcoat

Thanks for creating the page for John Hillcoat. You probably noticed that I renamed the page earlier today and made a couple of other changes around the place. Well, I've renamed it again! The correct title for bios should be "Name (profession)", so the title is now:

John Hillcoat (footballer)

I'm going to remove the 2 redirects that have been created along the way (John hillcoat football and John Hillcoat (football)) soon, so you should make sure your watchlist points to the right place.

Surrey Stingers

While I'm sure you'd appreciate it if people tried to improve the page on Surrey Stingers but no amount of work to improve the page (And be honest, it needs a lot of work) would make it worth keeping, the topic is simply not noteable. The Beatles are noteable and the holocaust is noteable, (Remember, popularity is not noteability), the Surrey Stingers are note noteable. I highly doubt a fourty year old Japanese businessman sitting at his desk in Tokyo is going to want to look up the Surrey Scorpions... how would he have heard about them? Look up the official rules on noteability and you'll see Surrey Scorpions does not apply. I would appreciate it if you considered what was best for wikipedia rather than just keeping some information here for posterity. I'd suggest you copy the information and put it on a different website.Simondrake 19:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Association of Members' Advocates/Requests/February 2007/Jskivington

Hi. I'm interested in your case and looking into it. If you want to give me some more background details, or just want a friendly chat, you can get in touch on my talk page or by email. Regards. SilkTork 21:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've given my opinion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Surrey Stingers and left a message on User:Simondrake's talk page. It doesn't look like Surrey Stingers will be deleted. But I'll keep an eye on it. Is there anything else you'd like me to be doing? SilkTork 17:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As the article looks like it has a secure future is it OK if I close the case? Regards SilkTork 19:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That would be great, thanks again for your help.Jskivington 15:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Skivington genealogy

Hi Jskivington:

I would be grateful if you were to contact me at william.skyvington AT gmail.com to talk about genealogy. More precisely, I am thinking of starting a Skeffington project based upon the results of DNA tests.

Please take a look at my research notes at http://william.skyvington.free.fr/skeffington

Incidentally, the name of the original Saxon settlement, Sceaftinga tun, would appear to be based upon "sceaft" (shaft), not "sceapt" (sheep).

William Skyvington Gamone, Choranche, France

PS You can use Google with my full name to obtain information about me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gamone (talk • contribs) 17:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Skivington

A tag has been placed on Skivington, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

There are clear copyright violations

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Otr500 (talk) 06:15, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
