Vince Cable

[edit]

Just a note to say congratulations for this edit - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vincent_Cable&diff=315870263&oldid=315812592. It's incredible that someone can add a superfluous and inaccurate quote (the Alan Duncan) without a source.... and then see it subsequently turn up in an article in The Guardian, in many blog articles and on the back of Cable's book. It's a ridiculous situation and I'm surprised that such libelous vandalism had legs. UFUU (talk) 02:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Duncan is well-known for making witty / jocular / facetious comments, which sometimes get him into trouble. I'm surprised that such a comment gets wrenched out of context and presented as sober commentary. Nunquam Dormio (talk) 10:02, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Kenneth Berrill requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 23:26, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Farnborough

[edit]

I noticed you moved this article to Farnborough Sixth Form College. This was not correct, as is shown on their website, all college stationary and so on and so forth. The name was changed more than 6 years ago to differentiate it from Farnborough College of Technology Thanks. UFUU (talk) 15:55, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objection to moving it back but I cannot see anything in the article which means that is the best name to use as a heading. "Farnborough Sixth Form College" is also used but the history of the college is missing from the article: no year of foundation, was it replacing part of another school, etc. Even when institutions use an initial "The" in many cases it would be dropped from an article name in Wikipedia.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:58, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
