Kosovo

As a history graduate, I'm very surprised you claim that the 'medieval' Ottoman period has nothing to do with the modern formation of the Republic of Kosovo. Please consult this source which explains the connection. Regards - Ottomanist (talk) 02:24, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. You'll have a hard task finding MOS material on birthplace standardisation or implementing it. To my knowledge it has been discussed many times but this is seen as an area that shouldn't be set in stone. There are many ways of presenting similar examples and normally it is down to consensus. Consensus in turn widely favours sovereign states as were known at time of subject's birth and you are free to make amendments everywhere (eg. born 1981 in Prague, Czech Republic can be changed to Czechoslovakia) but it isn't deemed wrong by the original editor if he has chosen the modern entity. We just hope an edit war won't break out. Regards.

Prince George of Cambridge

You have no right to declare what Wikipedia stands for when you are clearly ignoring the PROD procedures. The article was already ineligible for proposed deletion as it has previously been kept at AfD, and you are not allowed to add a PROD back after it has been removed, as you did after my removal. If you add it again, I will block you. J Milburn (talk) 19:47, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh them 'uns! The fan girls are ganging up on me. I never claimed that I have the right to declare what Wikipedia stands for. Biographies on WP stand for Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, I never wrote and agreed to this, but this is what Biographies on WP stand for. This wasn't my decision. But we're just going to let this be over looked because of fan girls. Pathetic! IJA (talk) 19:52, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Is that name-calling really necessary? Being third in line to the throne is confers notability in and of itself. Even if the monarchy were abolished tomorrow, or there were to be some tragedy, historians would look back on and discuss the significance of Prince George. We have some very strong articles on short-lived members of the Royal Family; take a look at the good article on Prince Alfred of Great Britain, who died when he was two years old. Even if you want to challenge this reading of notability, misusing a prod tag, then edit warring when it is removed in good faith with an at least plausible explanation, is not the way forward. J Milburn (talk) 19:58, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Articles legitimately being resubmitted for AfD within 24 of the previous one aren't rare. And since when has being on the main page made the article immunised from being proposed for AfD? The content is notable for a mention on wikipedia, I do not dispute this. What I dispute is a stand alone article at this stage in his life. There is a big difference between 2 days and 2 years. IJA (talk) 20:03, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
You didn't nominate the article
proposed deletion. There's a big difference. In any case, nominating an article for AfD which has already received the very recent scrutiny of an AfD (one in which many people participated, and one which was closed as a speedy keep) and the recent scrutiny of the ITN team (not to mention the DYK team and all the people who have visited the article while it's been on the main page) is not something to be taken lightly- and probably isn't something that should be done by an editor who isn't even clear on our various deletion procedures. J Milburn (talk
) 20:18, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Yes I was proposing it for deletion first. I never claimed to have nominated it for deletion, please feel free to prove me wrong. I don't think it is wise for someone to be an admin if they can't tell the difference between someone proposing an article for deletion and someone nominating an article for deletion. IJA (talk) 20:29, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
To repeat myself- When you tried to defend your actions by claiming that "Articles legitimately being resubmitted for AfD within 24 of the previous one aren't rare", I assumed that you were saying you believed that you had nominated the article for deletion at AfD. Am I instead to assume that you knew you were PRODing the article? If so, you would know that you certainly should not have been doing so, as it had already been kept at AfD, and you would also know that you should not be edit warring to keep the PROD template there after it was removed, as both of these are against policy. I only assumed your ignorance because to do otherwise would be to suggest that you wilfully chose to ignore policy. Which is it, then- do you not understand policy, or are you just wantonly ignoring it? J Milburn (talk) 20:34, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
@ J Milburn My intention was to eventually nominate the AfD after getting some support by PRODing it first, however I should have anticipated the high volume of celebrity mad fan girls who have hijacked the article. My argument was if it is acceptable to nominate an article for deletion within 24 hours of it's previous AfD, why isn't it acceptable to just simply propose it's deletion? Surely PRODing is a lesser action than AfD-ing? At times I do like to Wikipedia:Ignore all rules and this article's existence suggests that other editors like to ignore them. IJA (talk) 21:06, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
It's not acceptable for the reasons I've listed below. I suggest you actually read
BB
21:10, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
What this ultimately comes down to is the fact that you misused the PROD. It's there for uncontroversial deletions and should only be used if no opposition is expected. One of the central rules of a PROD is that it has not been discussed at an AfD. All of this is plainly written on the
BB
21:07, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Richard is, of course, right. You cannot hide behind IAR when you make a mistake or engage in disruptive editing. You also need to drop the "fan girl" rhetoric: It's sexist, belittling towards editors interested in this topic and dismissive of the historical significance of the prince. Again, I have no idea which policies you believe this article violates. You've made vague gestures towards BLP and the general notability pages, but beyond accusing others of ignoring the policies, you've not really explained why you think the policies are being violated. As another editor has pointed out, the article hasn't got a
snowball's chance in hell of being deleted- you're wasting your time and the time of others in pursuing the deletion. J Milburn (talk

Hi Ian, I've sort of got myself the job of organising Wikimeets for NW England, and (whilst it's not in the NW) I've decided that it's high time there was one in Leeds too.
So, since you're a local, can you suggest a good venue - ideally not too far from the station, not too busy, and with wi-fi (oh, and decent beer too of course)? Wetherspoons are usually good for this sort of thing. Am I right in thinking there's a Wetherspoons actually in the station? Do you think it would be any good?
Also, what date (preferably a Saturday) do you think would be best - hopefully a day when you can make it? We don't want to clash with any big events or other localish Wiki stuff.
