User talk:MNewnham

Welcome!

If you've turned up at my talk page, your probably one of three different types of wikipedian.

1. A creator of a dead end page that I've suggested to be deleted. Remember, Its not personal, but the Frat House/Garage Band/Theatre Collective/Software Company you've written about simply doesn't meet the criteria of
   Notability
   for inclusion in Wikipedia. I could be wrong, but simply removing the tags on your page isn't going to help. What might help is explaining why I'm wrong, but fair warning - pages that I tag currently have a greater than 99% chance of being deleted.
2. An administrator who doesn't like a particular way that I deal with dead end pages. Talking to me like you are a) my mother or b) my employer is guaranteed to get us off on the wrong footing. Before you start, look on my User page for my philosophy on working with dead-end pages.
3. An expert in a specific field who I've asked to look at a particular page with a view to quality improvement, in which case - Welcome!!!

Hello, you had nominated

Hi MNewnham! Since you voted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/One Of Us or One Of Them, the original editor has worked on the article a lot and brought it up to scratch. Just thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to revisit the article and review your vote. Regards, CLW 23:33, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- you seem to have an exceptional grasp of how the AfD process works on Wikipedia. Keep up the good work! I have deleted a number of your nominations which were unanimous deletes. See you around! --HappyCamper 03:35, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just a friendly note here... this article asserts notability in that it says he is a published writer. Just to be on the safe side, I am listing this for AfD. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. The AfD is here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Flux. --W.marsh 03:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I would have done the same if I knew that there was already an article  J\/\/estbrook   Talk  VSCA    18:14, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if you thought I had vandalised the page, but I had moved the content to a new article

In response to what you left on my talk page, calling a thing important does not make it so. To be honest, I'd be less likely to remove something from an article with many editors, but hope I would have the chutzpah do so. I think Wikipedia:Neutral point of view illustrates my thinking, expecially the stuff in Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#An example. D-Rock (Yell at D-Rock) 19:53, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I often "patrol" the articles tagged as speedy delete, in order to prevent a backlog building up. Most stuff gets deleted, but the articles I'm not comfortable deleting I remove the tag, sometimes with an admonishment to "take to afd". This means "I'm not going to delete it outright, so if you want this article deleted then nominate it for AfD". Cheers, fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 01:30, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

to MNewnham - there was a mistake in the master name: it is "Rif Raf", with space between the 'rif' and 'raf', and if you look for "Rif+Raf+Tel+Aviv" in google you'll find alot more results. nnimrodd 23:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

I was unaware of the previous article when I wrote this one -

--ScienceApologist 22:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - you've marked this page as a potential copyvio - in fact it was contributed by James who owns the page you're marking it as a copyvio from. I've put up a placeholder stub for the temp page and notified James but he's very busy at the moment so I don't know if you're able to unmark it? I can get the permission directly from Bryan Talbot if necessary - I understand that my say-so may not be sufficient ;-) Marypcb 13:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll gladly adopt this article. Did you have some special concern with it for which it might be listed AfD? Or were you simply bothered by the way in which it was written? Sarge Baldy 02:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not blank a page and copy contents to another. Instead use the move button. We want to keep histories of articles. :) --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 21:55, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You will see, if you check the timestamps, that the article "Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland" , the full and correct name for the article was created before "Royal Anthropological Institute" , which is the colloquial name, and the more often searched, and was created solely for redirect purposes. No page blanking occured. Apology would be nice. MNewnham 22:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A blanking did happen at

FRAI

. I am not suggesting you were mallicious, if I had the belief you were we wouldnt be talking. I am simply pointing you the "move" button. No reason to get hostile.

A move is basicaly what you were trying to do, right? Moving everything on

FRAI to Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland

was your intention, right? We use the move button for that opperation on wikipedia. The only difference with it and yourself is that by this way you preserve the page history (A.K.A. who wrote it).

A move was done by User:Drini ^[1] for you. You may thank him.

Thank you for your time. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 22:24, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it wasn't a move - it was a merge and redirect of the information in FRAI into an existing article at RAIoGBaI. Now if there is some magic way of doing it apart from cutting the info from the source , pasting it to the target , then changing the original to a redirect please let me know. I notice the Dhini has destroyed the edit history of article FRAI, so obviously I cant prove this. MNewnham 22:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He moved the history to the new page: Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland. History was not destroyed. Instead it was preserved.

The magic way to do it is by using the "move" link next to history. On that page all you need to do is type the new name. That would move everything on

FRAI to Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland

for you.

I am just trying to explain mediawiki (the software that runs wikipedia) to you. Your confortious tone is irritating, please modify your attitude. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 23:10, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't try to delete topics that don't need to be deleted...I did update the Encore Cinemas page though. And how does the chain not being big enough mean it can't be on wikipedia? Do only large corporations get a voice on here?

Hi --

I got your message and had a look -- I'd say Ian Pitchford's is the last sensible version. But I don't know how to revert! Sorry, I'm a newbie as well as an infrequent logger-inner.

--Jaibe 10:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PS Nevermind, figured it out, just need to look up revert.

There is an unholy mess in the Maryland article regarding a section entitled "cultural identity." Most of the editors agree that the state is a Northern one, and many facts have been posted and adequately cited to prove that fact. A Confederate sympathizer, however, is constantly going onto the article, removing cited information, and replacing it with unsourced "statistics" that steer Maryland into the Southern category. Please read the whole debate, weigh in, and please, PLEASE, help.

Thanks for drawing that to my attention. Now deleted as a blatant copyright violation of [2]. Best, Gwernol 21:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching the guy removing the speedy. Keep up the great wikipediaing. Chris Kreider 21:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom, Great Britain or British English by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]]. Regards, Jeff3000 00:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You did not offend me, but regardless of what you are trying to do, you should not link to

WP:DPL again). Linking to the specific actual article like United Kingdom will not only reduce the disambiguation work, but will actually meet your goal of getting people who have in an interest in a particular subject can see them. I have no interest in British, but work in disambiguation. -- Jeff3000 23:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply
