Michael Armstrong (human resources)

This article was proposed for deletion (by another editor). I removed the proposed deletion tag because I think the publication may be sufficient for notability, but I advise you that this may be difficult to show unless you can find reviews for the books, or show that they are widely used as textbooks. Please try to find it and add the infrmation to the article to prevent it being nominated for AfD. DGG (talk) 07:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello there Pandaplodder,

Proposed deletion of Learning & Development

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Learning & Development, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Oli Filth^(talk) 19:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of Learning and Development

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Learning and Development, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Learning and Development is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Learning and Development, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Built By

I suggest you re-read what I had written and re-read what you have written.

"Fact the WHR was not built in it entirety by the NWNGR which is what you are stating," is what you have said. If you read the comments above, you will realise this statement is ludicrous, as I said nothing of the sort.

The situation given previously in the infobox, leads one to beleieve the PBSSR and the Croesor had some part in building the WHR. Far from it. Both had ceased to be viable entities by the time the WHR was completed. Please consult the PBSSR and Croesor entries on this wikipedia, for relevant evidence. The same information can be found from usual other sources.

Keith 05:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I have just realised you are probably arguing (why I don't know) the point of the wording of the second line. Badly worded, but reasonably correct as it does say from Dinas to Rhyd Ddu, not to Porthmadog. Admittedly it was not the WHR at this point, but the only part of a grand NWNG plan that was built.

Talk:North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways

Were you reading a 2 year old version of this article.

Please read again - the opening statement says "The North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways (Moel Tryfan Undertaking) (to give it its full name) was a 1 ft 11½ in (597 mm) gauge railway running from Dinas to Bryngwyn, Wales, which was authorised by Act of Parliament 1872" and has been similarly worded for the last 2 years. Yes, originally someone said different, but this was corrected over 2 years ago.

For reference, the original act was in 1872, with the first commercial operation in July 1877 (Boyd is unsure on this). By 1877 the Bryngwyn line is being referred to as the branch.

Slingsby T7

Not sure why you could not find it I didnt change the name of the article. I removed the image as it is not a T7 glider. You do not need to inform anybody if you are improving the article an edit summary is all that is necessary dont really need to use the talk page. Thanks for creating a glider that was missing in our coverage. If you have any more questions then please ask. Thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 19:43, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Dont appreciate being called an idiot but I accept your apology remember we are all trying to improve the encyclopedia. The TX3 was the T.31B so really needs a different article perhaps Slingsby Cadet. If you are interested in aircraft articles can I suggest you look at WP:AIRCRAFT project and related WT:AIRCRAFT page where you can ask for help and advise on aircraft articles. Thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 19:53, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I have created a new article Slingsby Tandem Tutor and used your image in that. Any help in the article appreciated. Thank You. MilborneOne (talk) 20:47, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of ACF Units

I have nominated List of ACF Units, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ACF Units. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. ninety:one 22:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC) ninety:one 22:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Look at the article Army Cadet Force then look at the history and see why it was moved, then look at Air Training Corps and you will see that the same thing happened there ages ago.If you want to do something useful then contribute to clearing up what is a messy article. Basically I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THEN ARGUE WITH YOU. this isn't my article so at the end of day its up to you but like I said you are being the vandal because it does not qualify fir speedy delete. --Pandaplodder (talk) 22:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Please try to be civil. At no point did I try to speedy it. I am not claiming it is your article, for that would be ownership - posting a heads up to the creator is merely politeness. Once the AfD notice has been placed, it can not be removed, please do not do so again. I have also nominated List of Air Training Corps squadrons as well, for much the same reasons. ninety:one 16:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I think this List of ACF Units will end up being deleted. My suggestion is that we aim to merge it back to Army Cadet Force, where it originally was. In time, and by finding more references to the history of the larger ACF units, we can spin it back out to its own articles such as the Scout Counties.. What do you think?? Jez ☎ ✉ ✍ 10:56, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

<sarcasm> Thanks for your support </sarcasm> I think I have spent about 16 hours writing that list and wikfiying the links, and in time I believe it would have merited its own move. When people requested to move it, I asked for it to stay in the article until we could place much more info (history of units, links to supporting British Army Regiments, etc).. But instead you moved it to its own article, and now its being nominated for Deletion. To be honest your (not so) helpful move has put me off looking after the ACF article.. and other wikipedia articles for ever. :( Jez ☎ ✉ ✍ 12:47, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Supersonic women

Relax, Cochran (US) was first by about 10 years compared to Barnato. However I think (can't ref it offhand) Barnato was the first past 1,000mph. Cochran did it in a Sabre and that was only just supersonic. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:WAAF Sqn Officer.jpg

Can I ask why you believe this image is released under a CC license? J Milburn (talk) 17:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Was the permission given for the image to be released under that license, or just to be used on Wikipedia? J Milburn (talk) 19:10, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, there is a speedy deletion notice on it as 'permission for Wikipedia to use' is not counted as free, as for an image to be 'free' it must be usable/modifiable by others, even commercially. If the image has been released under the Creative Commons license you have tagged it with, could you please forward the email permission to the OTRS address given here, and tag the image with {{OTRS-pending}}? This will mean that the permission for the image is stored by the Wikimedia Foundation, meaning that there is no ambiguity as to the licensing. J Milburn (talk) 21:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Please make use of the edit summary section. It is there to help other editors know what you have done. You don't have to write an essay for each edit just a couple of words. Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk | _Sign 11:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Image on Wendover Arm Canal

Hi, I have expanded the Wendover Arm Canal article a little, and noted your image, which is just titled "The canal". I wondered if you had any details of where the photo was taken, so that the caption could be a bit more informative. Thanks in anticipation. Bob1960evens (talk) 09:03, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Combat Stress

A tag has been placed on Combat Stress requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Riotrocket8676 ^{You gotta problem with that?} 14:59, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey, my bad. Plus, your title doesn't really make sense. You're title is Combat Stress when you are actually talking about the Ex-Services Mental Welfare Society. I would change the title so that it matches the content. Sorry if I offended you, but when the title doesn't equal the context, I get suspicious. Thanks--Riotrocket8676 ^{You gotta problem with that?} 15:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC) PS: Do not remove the template for deletion. Add {{hangon}} if you contest it. --Riotrocket8676 ^{You gotta problem with that?} 15:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

On top of that, I tagged a page wrongly before. It isn't vandalism if the tags are A:Good Faith, and B:The page deserves to be deleted anyway. I have NO history of Vandalism so an ARV report would fall flat. Riotrocket8676 ^{You gotta problem with that?} 15:28, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Pandaplodder, please do not make threats or be uncivil. Riotrocket was clearly acting in good faith, so your threat to report him for vandalism is void (and please do not bite the newbs). And whilst you were understandably annoyed, comments like this do nothing towards building a better encyclopedia. In future, to prevent conflict, you might like to consider writing a page in a sandbox, such as User:Pandaplodder/Sandbox, first. Thank you. ninety:one 15:50, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

If you're working on a project, try adding this tag:

Work in progress; comments welcome

that would prevent another situation like this. --Riotrocket8676 ^{You gotta problem with that?} 16:38, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
