Leicester City managers

I just created about 8 or so articles on these just to get them going. I noticed you putting stubs on so thanks as I haven't had time. Thanks again. Jimmmmmmmmm 14:02, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spooky messaging each other at the same time. Yeah I just rushed the writing didn't think sorry. I don't generally start many articles. Jimmmmmmmmm 14:05, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, finding the right stub to put on isn't easy anyway. AA Milne 14:08, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gema Zamprogna

Hi, I considered speedy deleting it myself, but I googled the name, found it was a legit actor, and went ahead and expanded it. The creator is brand new to Wikipedia today, and I'm thrilled that she went ahead and created a legitimate stub article, even if her first attempt was flawed. I went ahead and expanded it to a standard stub entry. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 15:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was just about to Google. I'll pop a actor infobox on the page and drop a note on the new users page. AA Milne 15:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Just one more procedural point. db-bio means that the article does not assert notability. While I agree that the effort was flawed, this sentence does in fact assert sufficient notability to meet Wikipedia's standards. It asserts that the subject is an actress in a widely available television series:

Gema Zamprogna is a actress. Most famous for her roles in L. M. Montomery's Tales from Avonlea

While you're sending the author a note, can you thank her for her contribution? It's great that she jumped in and made the effort to create a legitimate article.

No problem. I'll have to run more names through imdb - I really should know bettertoo as I do loads of work over there too.

I'm Canadian, and I've never heard of her before either! Of course, I rarely watch the CBC, and Road to Avonlea doesn't seem like something I'd be likely to watch. (Spooks is more my speed.) -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 16:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno when you'll get Series 5, but it's airing in the UK at the moment and you'll not be disappointed. AA Milne 16:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Argh! Don't tell me anything! They've only released 1-3 so far in North America (I have them all on DVD). -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 16:13, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my User Page. Only just checked and noticed. Much appreciated. AA Milne 16:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I sent him another warning to add to his large collection. He seems to be looking for a long-term block. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 16:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Repost tag

I see that you've just added the words "!! Recreation of previously deleted article !!" to the now redeleted article Fluance. If you want to indicate that an article is a repost, you can add the tag {{db-repost}} or {{db-g4}}. That will add the article to Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.

Doh! ;-) AA Milne 22:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eric Olsen

I declined the speedy deletion of that page, because it does claim notability - speedy deletion is only for articles that don't even attempt to claim notability. The author has left some comments on the talk page, if you disagree and think the article still should be deleted you can try to go through WP:AfD instead.--Konst.able 02:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:BritRail

Hi, I noticed Portal:BritRail this morning when I was looking around for a fact for todays DYK on Portal:Trains. The page history for P:BR lists you as creator of the page. Will you be maintaining it? Slambo (Speak) 11:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will indeed, it's due for a new featured article, image and news update tomorrow and I'll be updating it every Friday or Saturday where possible. The Portal is in need of trivia though, but a good DYK is the fact there are 262 million fare, ticket and journey combinations on the British network. AA Milne 11:44, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

copyright

That was from an official navy website, and based on an official US navy document. --Sugarcaddy 17:26, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't 100% sure on the copyright status from the site, but the article you provided isn't covered by copyright, however the article was a straight forward copy and paste. Please read [article on copy and paste articles] before copying and pasting further documents from the US Navy though. AA Milne 17:41, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
