Tim Cresswell

Thanks for your e-mail about the Tim Cresswell article. It's now clear that the article belongs here, but rather than removing the 'vanity' template and repeating that the subject is notable, it's important to write the article itself so as to bring out the person's importance. That's now been done, so no harm done in the end.

For future reference, though, there are many editors whose response to the page as it was when I found it wouldn't be to put a vanity template on it, but to propose it for deletion — and you really wouldn't want that, as it's a lengthy and frustrating process, with n unfairly high chance of the page being deleted even if it shouldn't be. It's very important, then, to make sure that you start with a decent article, not with a thin stub to which you intend to add material later.

Good luck with your future editing here! Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:36, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Someone is trying to undermine our work on the Tim Cresswell page. After looking at the history, I thought you might be interested in taking part in the discussion... Zigzig20s 19:37, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Domino Records

Hi. I just reverted your latest edit on Domino Records. Your first sentence had " Domino records is an independent record label based in the United Kingdom. " The version I reverted to begins " Domino Records has been the name of three different record labels, two United States based labels from the first third of the 20th century, and a late 20th century and 21st century label based in the United Kingdom. " As the article treats various "Domino Records" both current and historic, I thought that more accurate. If you disagree with my revert or wish to discuss other ways to modify the article, let's put suggestions in Talk:Domino Records. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 19:02, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Welsh Wikipedians' notice board

I've created a fairly simple Wikipedia:Welsh Wikipedians' notice board (shortcut WP:WWNB) to try to get things started. Please have a look and consider signing on, adding it to your watchlist and helping to make sure any users with an interest in the subject know about it. Also please feel free to add things and to change anything you feel needs changing – I'm not under the impression that I own it! Rhion 19:44, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beauchamp College

Hey there, i can't really prove it, but it is a fact at the school. I, a student, see the fact everyday, and the principal has admitted it. I'm not sure of a way of proving it, but maybe it owould be better if you removed it until i could rpovide you with solid proof.

Hey, i like the way that you have cleaned the bit about the ethnic minoritys up. Reads well, thanks for doing that. Take care, and Oadby hasn't changed much since you were probs last here.--Mike 07:42, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[][reply]

GP History

Hi Twrist! Many thanks for your kind words!

If you are interested in the history of the Green Party, and have any useful bits of information you think should be in the history of the Party, Derek Wall is currently updating Weaving a Bower Against Endless Night: An Illustrated History of the UK Green Party (mainly because it is 12 years out of date!). I am helping him do this so if you have any suggestions, please visit Derek's blog, where he will be posting sections of the book for people to comment on and add information to...

John.A.Dawson

He's probably notable, but for the article to be kept it needs mention of his most significant publications and his awards. DGG 16:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sue Slipman

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Sue Slipman, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Deiz talk 15:17, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Financial Ombudsman Service

A tag has been placed on Financial Ombudsman Service requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Fair use rationale for Image:LloydThom.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:LloydThom.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bencherlite ^Talk 10:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:StMarysSurrey.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:StMarysSurrey.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:02, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cliff Tucker

Hi - you still seem to be intermittently active here so I thought I'd raise an issue re. the above. As you'll see on the article's Talkpage, there's a question regarding the subject's notability. My own view, for the reasons set out there, is that he doesn't meet Wikipedia Notability guidelines. But, before taking that further, I thought I would ask the opinion of the article's author. As an aside, the one reference looks decidedly shaky! Regards. KJP1 (talk) 16:07, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've added some thoughts to the talk page. I think there are potentially grounds for him to have a section on Dyson's article Twrist (talk) 16:31, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated. I agree a section in Dyson's page, himself eminently notable, could well be the way to go. But that will, of course, involve the removal of his own page. Just as long as you're clear on that. Very happy to write the para. for Dyson's page if you wish, or equally happy to defer to you. Let me know. Regards.
