Thanks for your edit to NFCUS, it's great to see someone else editing the article Nocandu1976 (talk) 23:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have e-mailed you all 28 versions of University College Junior Common Room - enjoy (or retch as appropriate). Don't you think it was total arrogance to put the article on this title - how many other University College Junior Common Rooms are there in the world? I don't think a list of alumni makes the room notable - at best the room deserves a couple of sentences in the article about the college. We already have Category:University of Toronto alumni. Standards say that a list of University of Toronto alumni would also be allowed. I am not sure about a separate list and category for just the College - probably not. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for sending me the deleted pages. They still have not arrived, but I look forward to scrutinizing them when they do. My point was not that a list of College alumni was a good thing. Such a list clearly contravenes Wikipedia standards. The Room, and its walls, are important from a student history perspective, beyond any specific interest to the College. There are few places in the world where a student organization has taken the trouble to emblazon the names of their former executives in gold leaf for all to see. If you saw it, you might not believe it. Student history is a minor field, I won't deny it. But it deserves to have some presence on Wikipedia. That being said, perhaps it is bettter reflected on the main

University College page. I will think about that. - Lostphd (talk) 11:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply

I have sent you new copies by two different routes. You seem to be living in a topsy-turvey world. A list of alumni who already have or who deserve articles in Wikipedia is fully acceptable - see this list. An article about one physical room is almost certain to fail. I see just one in this other list and that,

Yes, of course I meant

University College, University of Toronto as the place where text might properly reside. I appreciate your comments (not sure about what you mean by topsey-turvey -- perhaps crabwise might have been a better description).Lostphd (talk) 02:02, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply

You say that a list "contravenes Wikipedia standards" but an article about a room would be OK. I say the exact opposite. I calls that topsey-turvey. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just to finish the thread up, I trust you understand that my silence since your last comment means I have conceded the point to you. Thank you for taking the time to set me straight. Lostphd (talk) 11:59, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Serial Diners of Toronto, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Oswald (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
