Hi, Thanks for your edit on David Nicholson (civil servant). It looks from your contributions as if you are interested in the NHS? You might want to join the Wikipedia:WikiProject National Health Service. — Rod ^talk 07:54, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, hang on. The positives for Choose and Book are proven-- citation, where? but the heavily-publicised criticism of the system is 'anecdotal'? What planet are you on?

Earth, thanks for asking. Nice anonymous slur there (It's considered polite here to sign comments and avoid stooping to personalising, but there we go). Aside from regularly working with hundreds of current users (Oh, and I am one), I've read several hundred Benefits Reviews, user surveys and Project Status updates, I stand by the comments. Most of the negative comments I read are from non-users, or people with a medico-political axe to grind. Pimdip 21:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CfH

Thanks. Per the manual of style in disambiguation pages nothing but the targets are linked unless the target's article does not yet exist, but is demonstrably an includable topic. Here it exists, so the other links should be removed, which I have done. Thanks for helping. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated Carlos. Cuanto apprendo, cuanto apprendo lo que no sé ;-)Pimdip (talk) 23:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Freely Licensed Images

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'file' namespace from the drop down box (or see [1]). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading! Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:36, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image Permissions

It would be helpful if you could confirm the photographer of the image concerned, has granted release under the licenses shown. You can do this by getting them to make a formal release, by writing to the OTRS permissions queue as detailed in WP:COPYREQ Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:36, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for File:Centre of Barrhill C1930.jpg

Proposed deletion of Valerie Vaz

The article Valerie Vaz has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
