I did not think it was necessary to wheel war over AN/I discussion closure; for this case, it was fine; but when are you going to run for RfA? Hundreds of us have been asking you and perhaps, GreenMeansGo. Alex Shih (talk) 20:26, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Alex Shih: Look: I really must apologise about the ANI close. I assure you—no excuse that it is—that I didn't realise that You had already closed it, that SoV had re-opened it, and then I turned up in size thirteens  :) I saw the thread, went to the RfC, saw you'd closed that, and went back to the ANI thread... and closed it :o I'm afraid you and "hundreds" of others are now in the company of someone who didn't check the page history. A page one error! -and one which I will be rightfully condemned for. Sorry about that. Hope SarekoV didn't think I was stepping on their toes too. wel, clearly i did; but not deliberately.

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Greenock stowaways has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

A couple of things I noticed. In the Ill-treatment section it reads:

Kerr, hearing of this, declared that the boys would henceforth get "the ground of their stomachs before they get any more", (Sfn|Donald|1928|p=54) but the footnote says: Refn|”Specifically, Kerr swore, according to Roughead, that the first mate would "give the ground of their stomachs before they got any more".sfn|Roughead|2014|p=15}}|group=note

Of the two mentions – the one in the text cites Donald, one as a footnote cites Roughead. One says "get" one says "give". I'm not even sure what this quote means. The citations should be checked and corrected if necessary.

Also:

It's unclear how many boys had shoes. "the stowaways had no shoes between them" or "since some of the boys had no shoes" – is that "no" or "some" – needs clarifying

In the Arrivals section the quote box mentions some had, some didn’t have shoes.

Arrivals:

Mentions five stowaways were put off the ship, where are the other two?

Same section, then we have "Of the six boys, Reilly and Bryson were keen to leave…" Seven boarded in Greenock. This just needs clarification.

Best of luck with the GA review.

I started the AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jim and Mary McCartney (2nd nomination), which closed recently as "no consensus". That means the community is undecided whether the article should be kept, and it seems to be that a merge (which was not an option anyone asked for if I recall correctly) would actually be a reasonable compromise. Incidentally, I reckon if you asked a group of typical twentysomethings whether the Beatles or The White Stripes were the greatest rock 'n' roll band ever, you'd get more of them siding with Jack and Meg these days.

Methinks if you asked a group of 20somethings whether The Beatles or The White Stripes were the greatest rock 'n' roll band ever, they wouldn't have heard of either :-P The Stripes were already done ten years ago. Leviv ich 21:25, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"What's next, the Alfred Lennon article (also designated a "GA" Wikipedia rating)?" Ah yes, good point. Fixed ;-) Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 08:29, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SN, we already had a GAR for Jim and Mary, which it passed, then we had an AfD, and it was kept (albeit by default), and now we're onto a Merge request.... I've taken the thing off my watchlist as I'm clearly in a minority in thinking family members deserve separate articles if they pass GNG. Wikipedia is a very different place now from when andreasegde wrote them - guess I'm stuck in the past :)-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 18:07, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now I'm not saying that AN/I isnt a lovely bubble for the most thoughtful and considerate to wave their hammers, but remind you of anywhere. Also thanks for the Clash reverts. Yes, WP:lEAD absolutely applies. Paul Ceoil (talk) 17:07, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Right: The BUG EYES are an ANI dead give away. But thanks for making me feel old(er)...I saw DJ in brixton back in the day, they opened with Freak Scene. Classic tune.

As far as underrated Clash goes, my preference is Sandinista!, although perhaps that gained its cult following earlier? Cut the Ceoil Crap is coming on well—when, I suppose, you get the chance to actually write and not get pished about with {{fact}} tags... ——SerialNumber54129 17:31, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Put it this way man, if you hadn't seen the edits before I did, I would have gone all nuclear and would be now serving hard time, listening to Johnny Cash, in Brixton. ps am a Combat Rock man myself. Ceoil (talk) 17:54, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You could always try [1], he said with weary eyes and several layers of irony. ps, Joan of Leeds is on my shit list. Dreadful story wonderfully told. you are warned. Paul Ceoil (talk) 19:42, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ceoil: "The Shit List, now, an interesting place to be / And now with Joan, straight to AfD!" :) ——SerialNumber54129 11:24, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Killing children in west africa with Cholera is not my idea of a philanthropist, but if you want to support that, thats on you. https://issuu.com/coldtype/docs/0814.coldtype88.aug2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fpjeepy (talk • contribs) 19:11, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

our policy regarding living people: it has legal implications because of the dangers of libel, and I rather think your recent edits have drifted closer to that line than you may have intended. I have also removed your talk page post for the same reason: those are massive claims to make about someone, and, while we are an encyclopaedia and wish to be comprehensive in our coverage, exceptional claims require exceptional sources—and you have made done former yet not the latter. ——SerialNumber54129 19:18, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply

As much as I would like the world to know what this man has done... I'm not even asking for that. All that I'm asking is that he not be called a philanthropist. I shouldn't have to prove that he killed people for that to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fpjeepy (talk • contribs) 19:32, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
