Haha, yes, that is a bit weird. I think it's because I'd seen you move the soccer coach, and thought it would be a good idea to write an article. What I've done is to re-add a few bits and pieces, as the Radio 3 stuff is really what he's best known for, as well as a few extra bits and pieces. I note you've written an article about Monica Sims, so do go ahead with Tony Whitby. Thanks! Rob (talk) 18:37, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination for deletion of Template:RadioListings

Template:RadioListings has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page.

Thanks

Hello Jim. Just wanted to say good catch on changing the title of the TV section on the Bill Nighy article to avoid confusion. I missed that during my editing of his page over the years and I think that it will help the editing of his page. If you have his page on your watchlist you might be interested in this User:Doc9871/Voice Cast Vandal listing of a problem editor who hits that article from time to time. Thanks again and cheers.

In answer to your question we have had someone from the Chicago area with IP's in the 99 range (like this one 99.31.157.2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) who goes around adding stuff to infoboxes some of which is sourced but some of which is not and some of which is wrong. Some of us just revert everything this person adds rather then sorting through all the edits. I think we hope that this discourages them and that they will go play somewhere else. I also have an aversion to infobox bloat and I think that items like that are better served in the article. However, that is just my opinion and since that item is sourced if you wanted to put it back in the infobox I don't think that it would be a problem. Enjoy the rest of your week and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 18:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That would be a fascinating and fun coincidence. The first thing that I can remember seeing him in is The Last Place on Earth back in the mid 80's. Since then I he has become someone I enjoy watching in anything and I like searching out his earlier performances as well as anticipating what comes next. Thanks again for your notes.

I notice your name keep on coming up on my watchlist. I hope you find some of the articles interesting while you go about this task.

Hi. In Jules Horne, you recently added links to the disambiguation pages Japanese and Kelso (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. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Audio Drama Wiki

You've been doing some great work on Wikipedia with radio play listings and related articles, I just wanted to extend an invitation to the Audio Drama Wiki - I created it after realizing that a lot of the information on radio drama that I wanted to put on Wikipedia wasn't a good fit in terms of notability guidelines, etc. Feel free to contribute if you like. Justinkrivers (talk) 19:23, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was sorry to note that you have resumed adding deprecated external links to www.radiolistings.co.uk. Having participated in the debate that excluded radiolistings as an external link last March you must be aware you are doing this against consensus. Editing against consensus is a form of vandalism. If you're ignoring notices on your talkpage and the views of the community, the inevitable next step is to have a report filed against you at WP:AN/I. I have no problem doing this and if you continue adding deprecated external links I certainly will. Exok (talk) 20:26, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Mike Walker (radio dramatist), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Dave Brooks, Michael Legge and Paul Bradley (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.

BBC Radio 4 template

Please do not bulk revert wholly standard changes to templates, especially for such a weak reason as 'the two-tier classification is unnecessary, and breaks alignment with other BBC Radio templates'. The use of sub groups in templates is wholly standard, and is in fact used in the BBC Radio template. The presence of external links in templates is non-standard and deprecated. A below bar linking to the topic category is wholly standard. The use of a relevant image is extremely common in templates and again the main BBC Radio template has an image.Rangoon11 (talk) 16:45, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see you made one major format change for which you did not obtain consensus first, taking twelve edits rather than using preview and saving only when your changes were complete. I suggest discussing this on the Template Talk:BBC Radio 4 page to obtain consensus before making such a change, or else expect it to be undone if you have not sought consensus first. Jim Craigie (talk) 17:15, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
WP does not require editors to seek consensus first, particularly for edits like this which are standard and (should) be uncontroversial. I'm happy to have a discussion on the template talk page on the specific point of the use of sub groups, although it does seem rather a waste of time.Rangoon11 (talk) 17:20, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of United Kingdom Liberal Democrat MPs (2017–2019)

Hi, I see you have disagreement on Stephen Lloyd. I have opened a section in its talk page, let's find out what we can do! NYKTNE (talk) 20:03, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well JC. MarnetteD|Talk 04:58, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shauna Macdonald

Why did you revert my edits to Shauna Macdonald? The Black Book and Bruce Young are not Wikipedia articles and thus should not be linked. Factfanatic1 (talk) 22:07, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Factfanatic1: Because your edit had removed red links that I had deliberately inserted as they will become blue links when I complete and publish my article on Bruce Young. There is no problem having red links to articles in preparation (or indeed to desired articles). BTW your previous change to the format of the Radio table used in many other articles makes it unnecessarily difficult to add more radio roles to the Shauna Macdonald article, and the removal of dts from dates means that multiple roles in the same year won’t sort correctly. Your actions make me wonder whether to bother adding to the Shauna Macdonald article in future. Jim Craigie (talk) 22:30, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, thank you. Factfanatic1 (talk) 22:32, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Pauline Harris

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read 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 Pauline Harris requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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.

Hello, Jim Craigie

Thank you for creating Daniel Boyle (writer).

Nice work. Short on wp:GNG type sourcing (and so it needs that); I had to make a judgement call based including the SNG. Happy editing.
