If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of

the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of

WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion
will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of

Hello GrahamSmith. Please see my comment at

Per the help page: "Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content."

the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard

to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on

section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing
.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, I see that this was restored and moved to User:GrahamSmith/Douglas Johnson (theologian), where you expanded it. Is it ready to be moved back into article space? Let me know if you need admin/other help. – Fayenatic London 13:26, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for asking. I have recently acquired a copy of Douglas Johnson's book "Contending for the Faith"; also a copy of the obituary published in the Independent.

Cardinal Langley school

Hello Graham
I noticed your comment on the talk page here (after your reversion of 84.45.222.192's deletion) I don't disagree that much with the sentiment, but the issue for me is the disruption/edit-warring/trolling that 84 is persisting with. If he wants to raise that point in a cogent manner, we can address it. But I for one am not in favour of rewarding the dummy-spitting that we've seen so far. As it is, he's one click away from a 3RR block; maybe he'll learn something from that. What do you think? Moonraker12 (talk) 17:02, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note: if it's any consolation, I do know "it's only a steak" (having just watched "The man who shot Liberty Valance" again, I get the feeling I’m John Wayne to your James Stewart, here). I'll be out of town for a few days, but I hope your appeal to reason elicits a reasonable response. I'll catch up later... Moonraker12 (talk) 09:23, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Howdy Pilgrim! (I have returned!)
I see the latest contributions by our mutual acquaintance haven’t displayed any of the reasonableness hoped for (and I'm mortified he's giving you the flak, when it's me that's mostly giving him the grief). Anyway, I’ve decided to take it to AN/I (see
here); the good cop/bad cop approach was worth a try, maybe bad cop/worse cop will have some effect. Keep yer chin up...Moonraker12 (talk) 17:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply

(this is weird: I thought I'd reverted the deletion, between editing my talk page and posting the AN/I, but the page history says you did it. Did it come up as an edit conflict for you? I can't find my edit anywhere...Moonraker12 (talk) 17:21, 29 May 2012 (UTC))[reply]
Thanks for the note! I've no idea what happened there; I think I'd better lie down for a bit! There's been a response to the AN/I; we'll see if it achieves anything... Moonraker12 (talk) 17:35, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Graham,
I have again undone the reference to a crime from years ago that really has no relevance AT ALL to the school becoming a comprehensive in 1980. FFS! If you go to the page for any school on wikipedia, you will not find, generally speaking, references to crimes committed by pupils at the school they attended!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.45.222.192 (talk) 15:17, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Deanery of Christianity (Lincoln) and Deanery of Lafford requesting that they be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the articles appear to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but they do 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think these pages should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page(s) and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
