In respect of the keeps..
- File:Tartlogo.JPG - I cannot prove I own the image can I? I could change the rationale to logo? KEEP
- Yes change the rationale to logo and provide an FUR :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Or, you could prove that you own it, and release it under an appropriate 'free use' licence. To do so, and give permission, copy the text from user:chzz/help/myboilerplate, and send it as an email, with the picture attached, to

- with your name and date. Preferably, send it from a company email address. If you do that, let me know and I can check that it gets processed correctly. See WP:OTRS if you want, for an explanation. Chzz ► 22:21, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

- File:Hull1.jpg - A copyright claim is made here (http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Hull/Hull.shtml) Quite how you can copyright an image made in 1600 and something is beyond me? The creator is long dead! UNSURE
- I suggest you ask the other indvidual that responded on your talk page about this, as if it was a US created image {{PD-art}}would almost certainly apply. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

- File:Book of murder.gif - public domain - KEEP

- Regarding the Hull image I have e-mailed the owner of the website to clarify the copyright status. The website is the sort that is pretty keen not to have its copyright infringed Francium12 (talk) 22:53, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

- After e-mail contact with Mr Higgingbotham I got this message. Not only an expert on Workhouses but copyright law as well. I believe that Wikipedia servers are in the US rather than UK but I'm happy to see this image go....
"I originated the digital image you mention. Under current UK law, the originators of digital images derived from archive material which is out of original author's copyright, still retain publication rights over reproductions of those images. I am aware that this is different from current US law which decrees that digital images derived from out-of-copyright material are normally not themselves copyrightable. As the (public) original of this digital image is held on an entirely UK-based file server, my understanding is that UK law applies to its use and reproduction, and would expect Wikipedia to take the same view. I do not give permission for this image to be reproduced on Wikipedia and request that it is deleted."
Francium12 (talk) 18:47, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I'd strongly advise restoring the maintenance tag before the ed. who placed it there spots its removal. There are still considerable sections of text that are problematic per the tag. Regards. RashersTierney (talk) 14:01, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. It may take some time, but this really has the makings of a Good Article if we keep our eyes on the prize.RashersTierney (talk) 14:13, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- I've reinserted it. I was happy the article had reached a decent enough stage to remove it. Since the article has now been expanded 5x it can be featured on Did you Know and get some main page exposure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Did_you_know#Candidate_entries) subject to removing offending paraphrasing. It tends to be the way articles like this one will ever get any more contributors/improvements. Francium12 (talk) 14:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think a little patience will pay off. This for example
* Reclaiming bog land[11] * Public work schemes[11] * The development of industries such as fishing and mining[11] * Improvements in the standard of housing[11] * The leasing of land [11] * Sunday closing of public houses[11]
is too similar (almost identical) to the secondary source. The commissions report is still available atEPPI, but it looks like it may 'go dark' at the end of the month, so a little time spent on it now, sourcing directly their recommendations would be worthwhile. The refs. may not be hot-linkable in the future, but they would still be valid as a source if the papers were correctly cited. RashersTierney (talk) 16:01, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- The EPPI site has shut. I have archived a number of ref'd pages at WebCite, but they will just be single page snapshots rather than directs to navigable pages. I'll restore as many as possible on related articles, as I have begun to do at Royal Commission on the Poorer Classes in Ireland 1833. A very great pity; it was without equal as a resource for primary info. on this topic. Hopefully the Uni. will keep its word and make all available as PDF in the near future, but I wouldn't hold my breath in these 'constrained times'.RashersTierney (talk) 20:50, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

- It feels as if the topic is never ending! Unsurprisingly there is no article on the Board of Guardians (Default) Act 1926yet! Francium12 (talk) 11:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- I think in many ways it is the over-looked (if not hidden) story of many of the big social questions of 'modern' times. In that respect it probably is unending. But, hat off, you've made a great start! RashersTierney (talk) 13:40, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 00:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

English poor law
[edit]As you've probably noticed, I've linked some of the sources to paper abstracts. Not sure if it strictly conforms to MOS, but I think the abstracts are useful. If you feel otherwise, feel free to revert. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 11:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- No, I'm grateful for any edits that Improve the article. One of my biggest Wikipedia gripes is people who think they have ownership of an article WP:OWN. On an unrelated note, just putting all the references through Reflinks isn't good enough for GA status - I am happy to let the article fail, I want to edit other articles!. If this isn't a Good Article now I don't know what is! Francium12 (talk) 12:33, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Your rollback request
[edit]Hello Francium12, I have granted your account rollback in accordance with your request. Please remember that rollback is for reverting vandalism/spam, and that misuse of the tool, either by revert-warring with other users, or simply reverting edits you disagree with, can lead to it being removed. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck.Acalamari 19:36, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

School article assessments
[edit]Hello,
Thank you for creating and assessing articles for WikiProject Schools. I have adjusted some of these assessments for you, many of your assessments were correct though you have sometimes overestimated the quality of an article. For example with The Benjamin Britten High School you gave this B-class, but the article is only a few paragraphs long and has only one reference, so B would not be appropriate here, I have hence re-assessed to Start-class. Articles with only a sentence of prose would also only be Stub-class, such as Felixstowe International College. Many of the articles you are creating are also quite short, I have no problem with this per WP:POTENTIAL, but I would advise caution as other editors might do. More information on assessments of school articles can be found at WP:WPSCH/A. Camaron · Christopher · talk 16:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm happy to pass the article now. Unfortunately, work has rather got on top of me. You're welcome to handle the paperwork yourself, just direct them to this comment if challenged. Cheers, - Jarry1250 [ In the UK? Sign the petition! ] 19:00, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the University of Bristol admissions controversy GAC
[edit]Hey. I just wanted to ask if you could hold off on acting on the comments I'm putting in my review of that article until I finish it and post it on the talk page; it was supposed to be in my user namespace until I sorted it all out, and it'll just be easier for me if I don't have to go back and find which things have been fixed and reread through the new additions to the article.

Votes of no confidence
[edit]I think you have them all, though there's a lot of uncertainty before 1801 about what exactly constituted a vote of no confidence.Charles James Fox put through a series of ever increasingly critical motions against William Pitt the Younger in early 1784 hoping to force him out so that Fox could return to office, but Pitt refused to go. The resignation of the Shelburne administration in February 1783 was definitely prompted by a motion on 22 February censuring the peace terms which the Government had obtained in the Treaty of Paris, so this could be regarded as in the same category as Gladstone's defeat on Irish Home Rule in 1886. The 1895 defeat, sometimes known as the 'Cordite vote', was declared an issue of confidence only after the Government had lost it. You might be interested in this "standard note" from the House of Commons Library on the subject, which also lists the unsuccessful motions in recent years.

AfD nomination of Elvis's Twin Sister

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, fordeletion. The nominated article is Elvis's Twin Sister. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elvis's Twin Sister. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletiontemplate from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit]I love your signature, the best I have ever seen. Welcome to the squadron. Sowhy is a good admin. You should stick with him
Hi, Vanished user sojweiorj34i4f, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome! Ikip (talk) 22:34, 29 August 2009 (UTC) |

- Wow. This is the first time I've seen that CSS element (and that's unusual; I know everything about CSS). I plan to use it in the future. In the meantime, Francium, totally disregard my comment, it's not an image. I was wrong. [flaminglawyer] 23:27, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
