Socialist Party of British Columbia (regarding The Clarion disambiguity)
[edit]ok let's see if i can comment correctly on the edit ... thanks for pointing out the ambiguity of "The Clarion". Just checked Google.ca for "The Clarion" -hotel = 22,700 results. ... i will get back to dabbling in Wikipedia now wondering just how many real socialist newspapers I could possibly read, maybe I could find some time behind a molecule somewhere ... ok lets see a signature --John Zdralek 21:38, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Michael Champion
[edit]Hello - I noted you deleted the Michael Champion article recently, citing it as a recreation of the previous article, that had been deleted around May 2005. As you know, I am the creator of the new article which had different content and featured more information and sources, with the aim to make clear his notability and address the NPOV issues that it was felt arose in the previous article. I was also intending to add more about his career post-KCLSU Presidency.
I didn't see a normal AfD procedure followed in the deletion - I wonder if it would be possible to do this or what options are available? I was slightly surprised as there had been no commentary on the article before its sudden deletion.
Thanks for your help --Coffeelover 11:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for putting it through AfD - I didn't really contribute much, but will take into account comments made if/when Champion is considered notable again enough to get an article. --Coffeelover 14:34, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Just to add - could you bring back to the image 'Champers.jpg' please? It was additionally being used to illustrate the KCLSU page and was fair-use under the presspack rule? --Coffeelover 14:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Wentworth and Dearne (UK Parliament constituency)
[edit]Hey - currently the article on the recommended Wentworth and Dearne (UK Parliament constituency) is redirected to Wentworth...I cannot see any many other of the new/recommended seats redirecting in this way (Salford/Eccles, Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner...) so cannot understand why this move was allowed...
How would the redirect be "untangled"/"undone", or indeed do you think it should be undone?
Cheers
doktorb wordsdeeds 18:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. I see what you mean about the similarity between the old and recommended seats and in any case I suppose with so long until the election these seats can be left as redirects for now...I just wonder if they'll be left like this "for ease" when the election comes...doktorb wordsdeeds 08:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Date Links on Announcement Pages
[edit]I noticed that you re-linked the dates on the Announcement page. I unlinked them a while ago because that page is syndicated on RSS, and linking the dates breaks the RSS links (at least on some readers). Is it OK if I unlink them again? Nick 18:46, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
State capitalism
[edit]There's a discussion on the Capitalism and State capitalism pages that you may wish to weigh in on. The two related claims are that "state capitalism" is a contradiction in terms, or at least is contradicted by the definition in the capitalism article; and that the latter definition must include the phrase "means of production are privately owned." It would be interesting to hear your opinion.

Libya referencing
[edit]Please consider striking your objection to lack of referencing in the Libya article.
I have spent the last three days thoroughly increasing the number and quality of references. I have also updated the bibliographic style to be comprehensive and organised.
There are now over 60 references in the page and almost every paragraph and fact is referenced at least once if not more.
--User:Jaw101ie 16:45, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Pure science
[edit]re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pure_science
I am a 'lab rat', and was surprised to find such a minimalistic description on wikipedia of basic science. Browsing the topic, I found a recent discussion which you were a part of. I read the discussion, and considered both your point of view, and the point of view of several other wikipedia members. I can understand and relate with both sides.
I also reviewed this website in question, as well as the journal club link - both of which you have removed as 'spam'. I do not agree with you, and actually think that it is somewhat unfriendly and non-collegial to remove my edits and mark them as Spam without talking to me about it. I know that you have much more rank and experience on wikipedia than I - but the good thing about wikipedia is that we all have a voice.
A link war is not something that I have time or interest in. I only write to better understand your rather strong position.
Is "Scientific knowledge is dynamic and should be subject to discussion. Such discussion occurs both in scientific meetings and in journal clubs." really spam???
Is including a link in a separate External Links section really spam? Especially considering the fact that there is a discussion thread about the topic first - where more visitors have found the resource useful, and you are the only one who has not?? You wrote in your commentary that "flooding talk pages with users of your site or sockpuppets will not affect the decision." Is this something that you have evidence of?? If so, I stand corrected. If not - what if you are wrong?
Why so hard on this? --Labrat2 20:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your prompt reply.
- Few futher questions:
- 1. I see you did alot of research on these users... and though I agree that they do seem to be newbies (like myself), these were not all an isolated post. ie: 209.75.253.2 made another post.
- 2. Why did you remove "Scientific knowledge is dynamic and should be subject to discussion. Such discussion occurs both in scientific meetings and in journal clubs."???
- I have used wikipedia for a long time... but never felt like posting. I decided to post now because I became interested in the discussion. I actually found the discussion thread mentioned on a google groups page - perhaps that is where the others new members to wikipedia came from too?? Regarding JournalReview.org - did you look at the site?? There is a basic science section, and the link provided directed directly to that section. This is representative of the basic science literature that I read, and a resource that I plan to use. I believe that it does fit the criteria for a link. It contains neutral and accurate material, and provides meaningful, relevant content to basic science researchers.
- Sometimes google is slow to index??? Keep looking. The use of journal clubs in basic science is hardly opinion.
- The link DID reference a basic science journal club -- which you removed too.
- Also... basic science certainly can be a part of medical literature. For example, look a this list of medical journals:
- list of medical journals Human Genetics, Biology of the Neonate , Hormone Research , Journal of Clinical Investigation -- these all discuss basic science, and are all considered part of medical literature. I think that it is this point that is actually at the heart of everything. When you look at the original journal club link: basic science journal club - there is a listing of several other basic science journals. Perhaps "Pure Science" is not equal to "Basic Science". I do not see any need to make a distinction on a stub that only has a few lines as it is. Wouldn't it make sence to include all of this? Help me understand your point of view here.
- I think that the reason that this has attracted a little attention is that many doctors (md's) study basic science, and are also PhD's. We are a sensitive group - and it is important to many of us that we be considered doctors, and our work be considered part of medical literature - and not useless and esoteric "done at times without consideration of their application". It is well thought out, and hopes to provide foundation for the future of therapies, and understanding and management of disease. May I ask what is your expertise regarding basic science? Are you also a researcher??
- Given your expertice?? in the field, would you sugest the names of the leading journals that pure science would be found in?

Please reconsider your vote on the Scottish MP categories
[edit]As I think you may have misread the proposal. The proposal is not to merge into Category:British MPs and there are two other schemes in place already, subdivision by constitient country, including Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Scottish constituencies, which is the proposed merger destination, and Category:British MPs by political party. There are also several specialist categories for women and current MPs. etc. There are quite enough systems for allocating MPs already, and no need to agree on the creation of any more, as they would be harmful category clutter.

Copied from Lincher's talk page.
I was wondering why you considered this a low-importance article; Grant was a major figure in Trotskyism and is linked form Template:Trotskyism; he was the central figure of a reasonably sized international tendency; and he was a household name in the UK in the 1980s? Warofdreams talk 03:11, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Since I am bulk tagging the articles I mainly focus on the quality (class=) rather than the importance and thus when able I adjust the importance to the significance of someone in the biography project. In that matter, I might have mislabelled this man for I didn't know him that well. With your kind help I will modify according to your suggestion his importance though I'm wondering if Ted Grant was a major figure in his field (yes!), was important in UK alone (yes!, Mid importance now) or is important in the whole world (and I mean renowned as in High importance). It thus comes down to answering the last part of my interrogation to fix his importance and thus, was he internationally renowned? Please answer me on my talk page. Lincher 11:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for the clear up. If you are working on the article and want more comments on the article, just request them on my talk page (same for any other article you would be working on). Lincher 14:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed you had put Meltham back into the Category:Towns and villages of the Peak District. I had just removed it from that as I didn't think it qualified, due to it not lying within the Peak District boundary, which stops on the Greenfield Road about 2miles to the south of the village. I had also moved Holmfirth out, which is even further away. Is there a specific criteria of which hamlets, towns and villages can be included in the category, as I can then whittle down the local places and get them categorised properly? I was also wondering if it would be worthwhile creating a category for Holmfirth and moving its local postal towns ie HD9 into that category from the Category:Huddersfield and District? Richard Harvey 00:53, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- I will check out the category info thank you. As for the Holmfirth category that may suffice if that category would be suitable for including in all the postal districts now attributed to Holmfirth. Holmfirth has been given its own sorting office again, whiich has been expanded to cover outlying areas ie Meltham, Honley, Brockholes, Jackson Bridge, etc. Which are now listed as Holmfirth by the post office following the recoding of the areas to the south of Huddersfield from HD7 to HD9. Effectively a letter addressed to any of these villages used to say Huddersfield after the village name. Now they use the name Holmfirth instead of Huddersfield.

The 'Silver Badge Party'
[edit]Ah, thanks for reminding me - this happened just before my brief enforced absence. The problem is, there never was such a thing as the 'Silver Badge Party' formally. It was an unofficial title given to members of several groups of ex-servicemen.
There was a complicated position at the 1918 election. The NFDSS was formed in 1917 by J.M. Hogge MP (Liberal), and in the 1918 election its National Executive approved five candidates. Local branches sponsored 25 more. In three Leeds constituencies, the candidates were nominated jointly by the NFDSS, the NADSS and the Comrades of the Great War. In addition the NADSS sponsored a candidate in Sowerby (Major Barker) after pressure from the local Conservatives in circumstances related in F.W.S. Craig's book. It's important to note that Hogge was a left-wing Liberal, and most of the NFDSS were similarly left wing: among the NFDSS candidates was Ernest Thurtle, who went on to be a Labour MP.
When I was compiling the election results I needed some way of grouping together different parties and candidates who broadly had the same policy and background, and so chose the label 'Silver Badge' by which these candidates were often popularly known (the Silver Badge being given to all discharged soldiers).
Noel Pemberton Billing was quite a different person, a patriotic "get on with the war" campaigner (the NFDSS was formed specifically to fight against the reconscription of soldiers who had previously been discharged for medical reasons, but were now to be reconsidered as fit for service). He had no connection with the NFDSS or NADSS and sat as an Independent MP for Hertford. Billing's group was the Vigilante Society, from which the Britons Society split.
Henry Hamilton Beamish was a member of both the Vigilante Society (he was hon. Treasurer) and the NFDSS. In June 1918 he was an Independent candidate supported by Billing in the Clapham byelection, and in the 1918 general election he was one of the candidates sponsored by the NFDSS branches but not approved by the NFDSS National Executive, again in Wandsworth, Clapham. I know that Barberis, McHugh and Tyldesley's "Encyclopedia of British and Irish Political Organizations" mentions that Beamish split from the Silver Badge Party but this seems to have been a misunderstanding.

North Rona
[edit]Hi Wardofdreams. I note your edit of my reference to the habits of the petrels on North Rona, referring to them as 'off-topic'. Now I'm new to this Wiki-business, so bear with me, but the point of referring briefly to the habits of the petrels was to justify singling them out as an example of what the seabird colonies (already mentioned in the text) include. As you have amended the text, there is no explanataion for singling out the petrels, as opposed to, say the great skuas (bonxies). So in my view the article should either mention no specific birds to be found on North Rona, or if examples are given there should be some justification. This would be normnal commonsense practice elsewhere, but maybe it's not Wiki-protocol?
Forgot to sign!

[edit]Hi, I'm sorry I never responded to the request to send you a message, I never kept tabs on the page.
Am I too late?
Just to confirm. I created a new user name and moved my old user page but it has left remnants of RichBerry. I wish to dispense with RichBerry for anonymity's sake since I do edit from the office.
Regards
RichBerry 17:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

USERNAME CHANGE REQUEST/NPOV ISSUE
[edit]Hello. I'm requesting assistance regarding the NPOV issue with my article and my name change request (Bobbybroom - Syd Stevens). I just want to have the big red sign with the hand removed from my article if that's at all possible. I've started a Talk Page relative to the article, but wonder if I'm not just further complicating matters by making everything I input irrevocable. Please reply. Thanks
Hello,
Thank you for granting my name change request. Regarding the NPOV issue of my article, I have cited several sources to support statements, as well as altered the content by removing some things entirely. I am still waiting for a resolution on this. Can you help? Syd Stevens 07:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Armenia
[edit]Please visit the Talk: Armenia and Talk: Armenians pages http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Armenia&action=edit§ion=3 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Armenians&action=edit§ion=36 please voice your view on the current discussion, there is a small minority that are promoting and point of view that Armenia is geographically in Europe and Armenians are a European people. It is best to serve the factual truth and your support is desperately needed.

Re username change
[edit]Warofdreams, thank you for changing my username. I noticed you put a message on the talk page of my old username specifying my new user name. Can you delete that please? The whole idea of changing my username was to unlink my wiki account from my real life identity. Thanks Sdelat 02:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Warofdreams, I have no problem with the name change being a part of the log for admins, but would prefer the talk page of my old username to be deleted (as in from the hsitory) for the rest of wikipedia users. Is that not possible or against policy? Sdelat 02:25, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Warofdreams, you misunderstand me. I completely understand the need for this username change to be logged, but a message on the talk page of the old username doesn't log it. The talk page for my old username doesn't belong to a user now -- it makes no sense from any policy point of view to keep it. And, as you know, it's distressing for me that it remains. I have put a speedy note on that page. Sdelat 04:50, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Japanese calendar
[edit]I saw you removed the Japanese calendar from Template:Year in other calendars. I couldn't understand why, so I put it back. --Apoc2400 15:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Can you take a look at this article and tell me if you think this subject is notable enough to deserve an article. And, if so, is it referenced properly? This thing looks really suspicious to me. I was going to tag it for deletion, but could not think of exactly the right category. Is a hair style, especially one that is little more than a current fad, really encyclopaedic? I'd like your opinion. Thanks. ---Charles 02:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi WarofDreams. I think you'll find that I wasn't the one to add the line about the Bamford football team, and You would also find that if you asked any Bamford resident you would find then confirming exactly what you are repeatedly deleting. Bamford football club has produced many professional players, and 5 of them happened to come from the same family at the same time. The village is aware of this, and that is why the original poster put this information on the site. Without meaning to sound rude, I believe the people of Bamford are better placed to comment on the history of their village, so the line has gone back.
Possible PD Image infringement
[edit]Hi! Could you take a look at this image Image:Castle hill.jpg. I'm pretty sure that I have seen the image before, on another website, and that it is copyrighted. It has been uploaded and used to replace the Image:Victoria Tower Castle Hill(RLH).jpg that I took and originally put there, though without any source info. I'm not bothered about my image being replaced by another, but having taken as many photo's as I have of the tower, and lived just below it for many years, there is something about it that is not right. I suspect that the sky has been possibly added in digitally. Richard Harvey 16:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Username Change
[edit]Hi, just a quick thank you note for changing my username. Many thanks and best wishes Heligoland 11:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi - just wondered whether you have seen all the discussion and are still opposing this rename? It'll be closing soon, and I just wanted to check. Warofdreams talk 15:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- First, I want to comment that I appreciate your tone of discussing. And when I consider that one of your editing interests is politics, it's even more of a surprise : )
- I'll go comment about the category now. : ) - jc37 19:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi - thanks for your kind note - I do appreciate your constructive attitude, too. Just a note that I've replied again and hope I may have addressed your concerns, this time. Warofdreams talk 23:30, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I've now created Category:Trotskyist organisations in Sri Lanka. Could you have a look over the intro I've written and see if it is what you were looking for? thanks, Warofdreams talk 22:03, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- It comes up empty for me. Am I missing something? - jc37 03:31, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oops - should have said Category:Trotskyist organisations of Sri Lanka. Warofdreams talk 03:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, now I found it : ) - Looks fine to me, though could you add something explaining as you did about how they have no problem with applying this term for them as a group? - jc37 03:39, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- I also posted a link on Kbdank71's talk page. Hope this helps : ) - jc37 09:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Although most of the sources state that he was born in Sheffield, which may well be correct, his home village, Woodall, is actually in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham. (see Harthill, South Yorkshire)Jud 21:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Architecture years
[edit]Hi, I noticed you added an architecture year category to the article I started on 5the Temple of Harmony. Could you look at the other properties of the Somerset Buildings Preservation Trust as sometimes it's unclear what year to use for this category - can you use decades or even centuries?— Rod talk 19:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Cornholio
[edit]The reason I concluded that "Cornholio Prime" was an unacceptable username was because "cornhole" is a slang term for "anus", because "cornholing" is a slang term for "anal sex", etc. DS 20:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Warofdreams,
Any thoughts re the above...? I passed by some of these nifty templates again and keep feeling their names are back-to-front; maybe I should ask folk who've edited/restored them recently whether they've thought the same... Regards, David Kernow (talk) 02:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
...Thanks for your response; I've left an acknowledgement on the talk page and also messages on the related templates' talk pages in case anyone watching them might object have alternative ideas.
Meanwhile, do you see in these templates (and others using {{Navigation}}/{{Tnavbar}}) that:
- The template's title in the titlebar isn't quite middle-aligned but a little to the right;
- The single space following each {{·}} seems to've disappeared...?
I'm guessing the first is thanks to {{Tnavbar}} (despite its "float:" parameter) and the second an effect of one or more of the classes used by {{Navigation}}; outside these templates {{·}} seems to work fine. Any thoughts...? Thanks, David (talk) 03:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
RESPECT
[edit]I am perfectly aware what a recursive acronym is. It's just that RESPECT isn't one: the R in RESPECT stands for the English word respect, not the party name (cf. the comment on Oil India Limited in your link). Udzu 20:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Linking to rail maps
[edit]Regarding your suggestion about linking to maps or not, many maps do not show rail lines clearly or at all. To help find those maps which do show rail lines, it is surely better to link to them directly rather than enforce a roundabout if not possibly fruitless link.

Southampton
[edit]Hi, I noticed you have put many areas of Southampton as being in Hampshire, such as Weston, Redbridge, Millbrook, etc. Technically they are not in Hampshire, as they are part of the Unitary Authority of Southampton, and therefore are actually parts of Southampton, and not parts of Hampshire. Could you please alter this? I would, but I have absolutely no idea how, being new to all this..... Thanks! 88.111.96.191 09:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Warofdreams; I too am confused by this move, for exactly the same reason - the suburbs are not technically in Hampshire because Southampton is a unitary authority; I notice that you haven't replied to User:88.111.96.191. Was the move an error (in which case I'm happy to try to repair it) or is there an explanation? Thanks, Waggers 14:43, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response, that clears up the matter for me. I agree, we could do with some overall consensus as to whether we should be using ceremonial or administrative counties in general; I can see pros and cons for both. Anyway, thanks again. Waggers 22:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Online?
[edit]Hi. Are you online now? Your contribs indicate that, at the time of this post, your last edit was 5 minutes ago... Redux 03:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Great. I hate to bother you with that, but in about 15 minutes, thir RfA will expire. It was supposed to have been closed yesterday afternoon, but surprisingly, no one was online to do it. When I came around, over 12 past the original deadline, there was some confusion about closing it, especially since it was a close call. In order to try to patch up the problem, with people hesitanting to participate since they didn't know if they should, etc., I granted an extension. This was somewhat questioned, so I'd rather someone else assess this one, and you're the only Bureaucrat around now. It wouldn't be very nice if this was left open until who-knows-when tomorrow, so would you mind closing it when it's time? There's relevant discussion about the extension here. Thanks a million :) . Redux 03:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- My thoughts exactly. And once again, thanks for taking care of it. Redux 05:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Creator is not here, W. Besides, last I heard, creator notification was not a requirement for deletion.

Prod removal from Lethargic Lad
[edit]Hey there. I see that you removed the prod from Lethargic Lad as I didn't notify the original creator. I think I can understand why. I didn't notify the creator because he hasn't been online since April. I'm guessing I should have notified the creator regardless. Ah well.
Moving forward, should I nominate the article for AFD or should I notify the user and reinstantiate the prod? I'm guessing the former as there's explicit policy against the latter. Yeah? --Brad Beattie (talk) 02:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Notice of RFC/NAME - Heligoland
[edit]Courtesy notification of WP:RFC/NAME - Heligoland.
Since you processed his change to this name, you may want to read or comment on this RFC.
The reason for that change was "Potential for confusion surrounding my name and the author A.A Milne." The reason for the RFC is similar, only replace "the author A.A. Milne" with "the musical group Heligoland", whose article was posted on Wikipedia just a month before the name change. Details at the RFC. – SAJordan talkcontribs 08:51, 31 Dec 2006 (UTC).
