Unreferenced BLPs
Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 00:54, 18 January 2010 (UTC) Internal communicationsHi. I'm impressed by the above as a beginning for a rich topic (OK, I have a vested interest). I'm on the Kingston PgDip/MA IC course at the moment, so I have references coming out of my ears. I'd like to undertake the radical overhaul that this article has been begging for, for a while. Have started drafting in my sandbox, and wanted to ask for your thoughts/input, before whacking this on top of the good work you've done already ... whenever you get time, there's no particular rush here. Cheers! Adhib (talk) 22:11, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Paul - an interesting discussion is developing on Talk:Waterloo church and I wonder if you have anything to contribute to it. Cheers.--Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:46, 10 March 2010 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of CoverItLive A tag has been placed on CoverItLive 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding Constructing ExcellenceNo permission is needed, just go ahead and write an article, if you have sources. Trade publications are fine, if they are independently edited, and it is clear they are providing their own coverage, not just reprinting material sent them by organisations. If you want to ask me about specific ones, please do so. I need to apologize for the impersonality of the response on my talk p. , which was written on the assumption that it will be looked at by beginners and people outside Wikipedia--of course you know what I said very well already. I agree we need more articles on organisations of this sort--the difficulty has been in properly documenting them. I see from your user p. that you're in a good position to know about sources, so any help you can give in this area would be very welcome.

This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com. Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:40, 12 December 2010 (UTC) Back in 2005 long before it was fashionable to add sources to an article, you added text to an article called Richard Willis (spy) do you recall the source that you used if so please add it to the paragraphs I have marked [citation needed] -- PBS (talk) 13:42, 10 January 2011 (UTC) Autopatrolled Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission.

World Green Building CouncilI just wanted to let you know that I took a look at your recently created article World Green Building Council-- Jipinghe (talk) 12:59, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
Peter Delme/DelméHallo, I came across this trio while stub-sorting. Note that sort keys should not include accented characters, as these file after z. I added a hatnote to the first one, to make the other two accessible - we could alternatively have had a disambiguation page but I think this works OK. I looked at Peter Delme, found it didn't exist, made a redirect from it, but then looked at incoming links and found there are several. I'll leave it to you to sort them out (eg in succession box for Gilbert_Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound,_1st_Earl_of_Minto). PamD 10:00, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

I also saw that you linked directly to Wikiproject Cooperation. I suppose this is probably a pointless question, since you clearly already know about it and have had the opportunity to join if you wanted to, but...do you want to join?

Paul, while your GAN review hasn't yet had a response from the author on the review talk page, there have been some significant edits to Stockport County F.C., not only by the author, but by a number of other people as well. Can you please take a look at it? At 37 days, this is now one of the oldest uncompleted GAN reviews, and should be concluded. Many thanks!

Currently it has the wrong logo, correct logo can be found at http://www.dexioncapital.com/dal. I have tried to change this myself, but do not have any admin rights. If you do have any questions please feel free to contact me.

I am very new to activity on Wikipedia, so please forgive the occasional solecism. I wanted to draw to your attention a possible inaccuracy in the article on Putney Bridge which you commenced. I wouldn't presume to change the article myself, though I have posted a version of the text below on the Talk page. If you agree there may be an inaccuracy we can possibly discuss how the article and its links might be revised. This is what I wrote on Talk:Putney Bridge: The naming of the wooden bridge in existence between 1729 and 1886 as 'Putney Bridge' may be disputed. Records in the PRO indicate that the name of the crossing was Fulham Bridge, and it was known as such to its proprietors: http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Fulham_Bridge_Proprietors http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/nra/searches/subjectView.asp?ID=B11641 See this article by John Goodier in the spring 2008 newsletter of the Hammersmith and Fulham Historic Buildings Group, on pp. 7-8: http://www.hfhbg.org.uk/newsletters/Newsletter-18-Spr-08.pdf There is evidence from contemporary engravings etc that the crossing was known as Fulham Bridge, and the existence of a gatehouse straddling the bridge at the northern bank suggests that it was named for its northern terminus. See here: http://www.britishmuseum.org/collectionimages/AN00804/AN00804767_001_l.jpg here: http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/Collections-Research/Collections-online/object.aspx?objectID=object-93013&start=68&rows=1 here: http://www.weissgallery.com/PrintObject.aspx?objectid=244120&dealerid=321 and here: http://www.weissgallery.com/FullScreenZoom.aspx?photos_zoom=WeissThephoto/Weiss2122010T1782.jpg The present alignment of Fulham High Street deviates away from the main route over Putney Bridge: below the junction with New King's Road, Fulham High Street runs away to the E, finishing in a cul-de-sac adjacent to the riverbank. I surmise that the main road originally continued over the former Fulham Bridge, which was built on an alignment different from the 1886 Putney Bridge. The construction of Putney Bridge in 1886, on an alignment which ended on the N bank some 100 yards W of the former alignment, led to some consequential changes to the arrangement of buildings in Fulham. All Saints Church was substantially rebuilt, also in 1886, as the structure, of medieval origin, could no longer be adequately protected from flooding. Quite why this option was taken, rather than the embanking of the north bank of the river (subsequently successfully undertaken), is unclear. The former vicarage of All Saints, which stood on the plot now called Vicarage Gardens, immediately to the W of the Putney Bridge approach on the N side, was demolished in 1915 and a new one constructed at 70 Fulham High Street on land belonging to Fulham Palace. Vicarage Gardens is referenced here: http://www.londongardensonline.org.uk/gardens-online-record.asp?ID=HAF069 All this suggests to me that a new page should be created for Fulham Bridge and associated articles (e.g. Putney Bridge, Fulham, Putney) edited accordingly. Best regards - Martyn Martynpatrick (talk) 10:32, 26 July 2012 (UTC) CIPRI saw your note in the editing history about whether we should include each CEO under the Leadership section. When I started the leadership section, I didn't realize the position swapped out every year. Knowing that, I think it would be best to scratch the section and merge it with the Organization section. Just my quick remarks. Corporate 07:18, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Updating statsHi Paul - it is standard practice at WP:FOOTY not to update stats until the match has actually finished, due to the changing nature of games. I have therefore reverted your changes to Lauri Dalla Valle. Regards, GiantSnowman 20:27, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Samuel and Henrietta BarnettHi, I noticed that you reverted the edit I made last night to Samuel Barnett with a note that he's not a saint. I made the edit after noticing him and his wife (Henrietta) listed as the saints of the day (June 17) in wikipedia's Church of England calendar. I'm not British, and don't particularly know where I could doublecheck their sainthood quickly (phoning Lambeth palace isn't going to happen:)). As an anglican convert in the US know I can doublecheck the episcopalian calendar at satucket.com. Anyway, the Henrietta Barnett entry's much worse, and my time's limited.Jweaver28 (talk) 13:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
London Bridge waterworksHi - I see that you originally wrote the article on Peter Morice who built the original water pump under London Bridge. That article states that, following their destruction in the Great Fire of London, "replacements engineered by his grandson remained under the bridge until the early 19th century." The article on George Sorocold says that he "rebuilt London Bridge Water Works". In his book Chelsea to Cairo: Taylor-made Water Through Eleven Reigns and in Six Continents, Gwilym Roberts says that "In consequence (of the fire), the descendants of Peter Morris (stet) sold their rights and title in 1701 to a Mr. Soame, a goldsmith. He engaged George Sorocold to design and install a third waterwheel under the fourth arch". Several other sources refer to Sorocold installing the new pumps in 1705. Can you let me have your comments? My interest is that I am putting together an article on the Coultershaw Beam Pump near Petworth in West Sussex, which my sources refer to as being based in design on the pumps installed by Sorocold. I'd like to get the facts straight before I finalise the article (currently in my "sandbox"). Thanks for any help. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 11:09, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
It seems that there would be some merit in creating a standalone article on the London Bridge waterworks. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 12:16, 24 June 2013 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of Michael_White_(writer)
