Happy New Year Greetings (and some Milhist business)First, happy new year! Second, I've raised a couple of things here which could use swift responses. May I trouble you please to check them out? Thanks! --ROGER DAVIES talk 19:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC) LightbotThanks for unblocking Lightmouse. Would you be kind enough to unblock Lightbot?

Thanks again for keeping the troops and barracks in order. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 05:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Siege of ConstantinopleI see you checked the Siege of Constantinople (1203). About the citation it has more but apparently the page gives not the latest version it has at least 7 citation. I don’t now if it matters but I say it any way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pindanl (talk • contribs) 12:59, 2 January 2009 (UTC) eirigi alternative videoI already left a comment on the talk page of the "hero" song explaining my reasons for including it. You have not responded to it nor have you provided a credible reason for continuously removing my edit. Your opinion on whether the material is irrelevant is the only irrelevant issue here. I don't understand your "it needs to be discussed by a reliable "third-party" source for it to be considered cited" comment so if you could point me in the direction of a page of wiki law explaining the workings of that system that would be super. My understanding is that a citation is supposed to back up the material provided. The citation I provided does exactly that as it goes straight to the root. The only part that I could see to be slightly contentious is the removal of video from hosting sites section so you can stick a "citation needed" note beside it if you don't trust the current one. Finally, thank you for alerting me to that three reverts rule but I will be restoring the material unless you can provide me with an obvious rule/law preventing me from doing so like I suggested above. As I said, it's as relevant and neutral/unbiased as the help for "heroes" release and fully referenced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.111.190 (talk) 14:57, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

unnecessary Hero articleFine, it's at AFD, where it will inevitably be deleted, but will waste effort from a group of editors to accomplish the same result. Pay attention to the "Bold, Revert, Discuss" cycle next time ... you were "Bold", I "reverted", and that made it your turn to "discuss", not your chance to undo the redirect and demand that I take it to AFD.—Kww(talk) 00:55, 6 January 2009 (UTC) DeletionpediaHI , this is Atom98 , i need ur help as there is one article in the name "N.Bupenda Meitei" which is already in deletionpedia ,though currently its in other version alive, i need ur help in removing that article from deletionpedia which was deleted on 26April,2008 15:15 by u .May i know how could that deleted article be removed from the deletionpedia wholely n effectively as that merely makes the article childish n less significant bcoz when we do google search,we also find "Bupenda" in deletionpedia. i would be so obliged n looking forward to ur help Atom98 (talk) 05:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC) Re: Quick questionYes, the problem is that the template checks to make sure the associated page exists (in order to catch tags on deleted articles), and that check fails for images on commons.

RollbackYou're right I don't. It's something I've thought about for a while now, but while I've read up on them, I never got around to doing much about it. Didn't feel it was something I should bother anyone with I suppose, since it didn't seem of earth-shattering importance to the community that I have it. But if you're offering, that's very kind of you! Benea (talk) 17:53, 10 January 2009 (UTC) MOSLINKYour comment at the illegitimate MOLINK merger is unhelpful. Kotniski had no consensus to leap in and suddenly implement his proposal, especially as there was serious disagreement about wording. This was asking for trouble. How many people supported this, if you seem to be making a case that "only two people objected"? And I think you should withdraw your accusation of ownership; it is blatantly supporting one side in this dispute—is that your intention? Tony (talk) 16:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Map of Durrani EmpireThe map showing the extent of the Durrani Empire (File:Afgempdur.jpg) doesn’t seem to be appropriate. Firstly, the map is not in English, which makes it impossible to understand it. Such a map has very high chances of misleading the readers instead of guiding them. Also, the map doesn’t tell the actual year (time) of the maximum extent of Durrani Empire. Secondly, the portion in stripes is shown covering Rajputana, part of present day Maharashtra and even Malwa- the stronghold of Holkars (Holkars and Shindes were potent forces even after the Maratha defeat at Panipat). Even though the Marathas had lost the battle of Panipat, there wasn’t any chance that anyone (including Abdali) could come even near to the present day Maharashtra. This map doesn’t seem to be made by an expert and I also have doubts over the eastern extent of the empire. It seems to be highly biased, violating Wikipedia’s NPOV policy and seems to be made by an Abdali follower. This map needs to be removed from all the articles like Durrani Empire, Ahmad Shah Abdali, Afghanistan, etc. Kindly help. ThanksKesangh (talk) 15:10, 16 January 2009 Date rangesI was reading MOS:NUM#Other_date_ranges to double-check the Wikipedian way to describe date ranges in order to properly write out multi-day conference dates for UNASUR and found that neither ranges that belong to one year or ranges that belong to one month are addressed in this MOS. I wrote out a suggestion in Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Date_ranges but I cannot fix this omission myself unless I become an admin, which seems too far down the pipeline (I have been an editor since 2005 and on WP:ADCO/RFC since August without contact).

Request to Move an article: Marilyn MarshallHi Woody. Hoping you would be so very kind as to move the current Marilyn Marshall article back to its first location. This particular jazz recording artist is known as "Ms. Marilyn Marshall." The Wikipedia article should reflect that.

List of Australian Victoria Cross recipientsHi Woody. I was looking through the above when I noticed a discrepancy. In the lead, it states that Alfred John Shout's VC was awarded posthumously for his actions at Gallipoli, but the posthumous element is not reflected in the list by the asterisk and colouring. One or the other needs to be clarified, and I figured you were (naturally) the best person to ask if you would be able to do so. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 00:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Pdfpdf (talk) 11:36, 2 February 2009 (UTC) Clan Hay and William II de la HayaHello Woody, You will remember helping me with the “Origins of the Clan” in Clan Hay and with William II. Unfortunately, I have a problem. Czar Brodie on 2 Jan 09 (a) removed all that I had written after pretty thorough research and substituted his own version, which is inaccurate and (b) added the Legend of Luncarty. I am content to see the Legend added and have made only one change, namely to separate the legend from the historical version. The way it was written looks like a direct quote, and if so, it should be referenced. I have done nothing about that aspect because there are more important matters with which to deal. The removal of all my work is annoying and I would like to have it re-instated. (Czar Brodie may not be interested, but others of Clan Hay will be.) Is it possible to do this after all the changes that have followed? How should I do it? If we reinstate my version, I anticipate that we shall have to remove some of Czar Brodie’s writing. I think that would be anything dealt with in William II de la Haya. Incidentally, Czar Brodie ruffled the feathers of another editor a short time ago by calling him (her) a WikiNazi. I saw his piece, which was written in an inappropriate tone and claimed that the present chief had no right to be chief. The other editor removed the offending paragraph. Judging from Czar Brodie’s previous behavior, I suppose we may have a fight on our hands. Re:Clan Hay; Regrant of the Earl of Erroll This does not concern me directly, but this whole discussion seems to be inappropriate in a general article on Clan Hay; it’s much too detailed. Mind you, I do not know where would be a suitable place in Wikipedia for it, or even whether it belongs at all. What course do you recommend?

RequestHi Woody. Given your experience with lists of award recipients, I was wondering if you would mind having a look here? I have constructed a list of Australian George Cross recipients, including exchange awards, using your VC lists as a basis (mainly the Australian and Canadian lists), and I was wondering if you would be willing to provide me some feedback on the list before I launch it into the mainspace as I have hopes of taking it up to FL. If you are too busy or prefer not to, then please do not feel obligated to do so. Thanks which ever way, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 04:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Well, I decided to take the plunge and move the article into the mainspace. I have also requested an ACR on the article, hoping to iron out any problems before FLC. However, if you are still willing, I would really appreciate it if you were able to provide me with and further comments on improving the article. Cheers, Abraham, B.S.

I agree that Wikipedia is no place to debate the authenticity of the Chief; that was why I was concerned when this was done. I don't think we are debating the origin of the clan; Czar Brodie simply removed earlier, much more complete material. Anyway, I'll try to follow up on your suggestion.

Victoria Cross recipientsFurther to the message you left me regarding actions on dates within quotes and citations: There is actually little I can do if I do not see the citation marks, and they are easily missed if they are just single or double quote marks. However, I am going through your list of VC recipients and have been inserting non-breaking spaces to protect those which are susceptible to change. As a percentage, this does not seem to be very great - so far, I have found citations/quotations exist in maybe 1 in eight or ten cases.

Woody, Setting the Swoboda page back to the way it was is not right. Almost NONE of what is written has any references or proof to back it up.

Move warHello
Mike AshleyHi, I don't really understand your objection to my additions to Ashley's page, i did'nt write anything that was controversial even more what was written concerning his page is verifiable by looking at the pages history. As for doing the article the wrong way round, I dont see how i can ask for help in adding references without posting the article first. I'm still quite new to wikipedia so please excuse any mistakes. Any help would be gratefully accepted.--The Mercenary 73 (talk) 21:12, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

May I ask a favour?I reverted some changes made by User:The Mercenary 73 to the supporters section of Middlesbrough F.C., and a conversation and some reversions to Derek Llambias ensued. Noticed on their talk page that you'd also had discussions with the user, and as I'm literally about to go on holiday, was wondering if you could possibly keep an eye on User talk:Struway2#Middlesbrough F.C. edits and deal with any problems the user may have while I'm away. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC) Cyril SpiersAfter updating his article I found that according to the sources I could find he played 112 times for Aston Villa.

Kirill [talk] [pf] 16:35, 18 July 2009 (UTC) Latest actions by blocked editor 76.114.133.44On July 19, 2009 @ at 21:55 Wikipedia time, you posted a note on this editor’s talk page who operates under this IP address, 76.114.133.44. The note went like this...“If you continue to remove declined unblock requests and continue to post unblock requests that don't respond to the concerns, then this page will be protected so you cannot edit it for the duration of your block.” Seeing that it was you who gave him that note, I’m here to let you know that this editor did not take your words into consideration, and has indeed removed decline-unblock requests AND continued to post unblock requests that don't respond to the concerns. He also removed a lot of other content that you had restored initially detailing his rather short tumultuous history, including that particular note you gave to him. I tried to reason with this editor with my own comment after you left your note. However, he would have none of it, emphatically threw my advices out the window with everything else, and even went the extra mile by defaming some of my own comments. Like I said, I am simply here to report to you what happened. You gave an order to this editor, he did not comply. I think it’s time to carry out your intentions on this editor for not complying with orders. It seems pretty clear that this editor is going to listen to no one, and will form his own rules on editing. That is not the type of editor we want on here, and one that Wikipedia can do without. KeltieMartinFan (talk) 04:31, 20 July 2009 (UTC) New additional incivility issues to this caseThere is another editor, IP address 162.6.97.3, whose actions more-or-less echo those of blocked IP editor 76.114.133.44. Identical disruptions on Rebecca Quick’s article, resistance towards administrators, deletion of warnings on his talk page AS WELL AS 76.114.133.44’s talk page, continuations of new unblock-request postings that do not respond to the concerns, and a new violation perhaps...the removal of important information belonging to a publicly runned government facility, the American Red Cross. It has been determined by a few administrators that the editor using IP address 162.6.97.3 is the exact some editor using IP address 76.114.133.44. Once again, I’m here to let you know what’s going on. It seems like this person is using the computer at their place of employment as a sockpuppet to evade the block set at his personal residence. But I’ll leave it up to you to make the final judgment call. KeltieMartinFan (talk) 22:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC) ThatcherI thought I'd probably gone too far but I couldn't resist. I am going to leave the Thatcher article alone but I genuinely believe it has problems of bias and I hope it stays tagged. They were condescending to me too - saying I clearly didn't know about British history and was wasting everybodys time - but this is immature I know. I think the claim that Scargill made no secret of his incendiary intention to bring the Government down' is dubious and I just think it would have been widely reported in the British press and the paper may have a website , I did believe the paper existed, but I dont see how I can check the article that is referenced. Anyway I'm going to leave the article now, I think some of the editors who have been doing a lot on the article should let new blood have a go at it too. Thanks for your temperate warning to me, I' ll look at doing something on other articles that aren't such minefields. Sayerslle (talk) 12:59, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Since you have already had contact with this editorsee my talkpage and this, I'm not getting into an edit war and he seems unable to grasp NPOV. --Cameron Scott (talk) 19:46, 21 July 2009 (UTC) Regarding your comments and those of the above Editor, I in no way wrote any article with a point of view other than the articles author. I have noted your comments and did appreciate your help, but as you said "broad sheets over tabloids" - so i initially used reference to the former, before then using the latter. If I have made a mistake here then I hold my hands up to it, but I see many other editors use tabloids, fanzines and even certain fan sites as a point of reference. As for my so called grasp of NPOV - I think we discussed something similar but I can't remember that we had to portray only those references that had a particular "sugar-coated oppinion". I admit that i'm a supporter of this club and ive noticed many contradictions to many pages that feature the club, mostly from editors who use fanzines as reference. While I am/have tried to use genuinely well known facts then add the references as required, with the utmost aim to provide a accurate unbiased account of the football club.Im sorry if any of this has caused you any trouble.--The Mercenary 73 (talk) 22:00, 21 July 2009 (UTC) Robert CainWould you fancy weighing in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Robert Cain? thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:31, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Use of WP:CSD#G8 for category deletionWP:CSD#G8,which you used as justification to delete both Category:Associated Production Music and Category:Associated Production Music composers does not cover categories without a parent. While the CfDs for these categories may be leaning towards deletion, the articles should be undeleted so that Wikipedia policy is observed in this matter and the CfD can continue to its conclusion per policy. If CSD G8 did require the deletion of all categories without a parent article with the same title, we would be well on our way to deleting the category system in its entirety, which may have its own benefits.

I knew I was still confused when I made the request, but hoped someone would straighten out my attempt and teach me the procedure. It is disappointing that I so sorely misjudged the quality of the article, because I think Ball's tale is a heart-wrenching one. However, I have no resources to improve the article, and no idea of what is missing. As it is, I will go back to working on other WWI aviation bio articles. Georgejdorner (talk) 02:55, 26 July 2009 (UTC) This is not my article. I came in late, and merely added a few facts and polished it up. The disappointment comes not from having my ego bruised (I can and have lived with that); it comes from the frustration of seeing a terrific true tale stuck at B Class, just like any article I might create in an evening or two. If Class B is that easily reached, and Class A is virtually unattainable, then why bother doing any additional effort once you have a B Class assessment?

I came across that you had deleted this citing that it is implausible. I had listed miss Okui on the Atsushi disambiguation page, and I am glad I did because this retains information about her. I noticed that you deleted it for the reason of R3, and I believe the person who tagged it was Ryu, who also tagged the Atsushi disambiguation page with the same. He has admitted to simply tagging every single redirect of mine without looking at them. This lack of attention could lead mods to mistakenly think another person had a legitimate reason for deleting this. I can assure you, it is plausible that someone looking for information about Ms Okui would learn something about her by the redirect which previously existed, if you could only restore it. She directed the cinematography for Princess Mononoke, a favourite film. This is why people might look for information about her. I don't currently know if she has done cinematography for other notable works, but this is certainly likely. As such, someone who learns about her from the billing from another work may search for her, and then discover here that she also did Mononoke. In that case, rather than redirecting Mononoke, this learned information would instill courage into someone to initiate the transformation of the redirect into a full-fledged article (as per WP:RFD, it's encouraged) where these 2 and perhaps other works could then be listed.

My WW I paragraph (or how you dare?)just kidding. My intension is not to replace the assasination article, nor the causes of the war article, nor the "Black Hand" article. To the contrary I added these 5 lines to give the aspect of the Serbian secret services involvement in the events (which is a major issue) and to draw more attention to the role/activity of the "Black Hand" organization in the WW I, thus the link to the organization. I believe that five lines more about how the war broke is not a issue..But since I am new in the article, may I ask if there is some other reason in not making major editings on it? I noticed that the article is partly protected. If the article is in a phase of a frangiled balance between older editings I would prefered not to destroy it. Or trying in vain to edit it. --Factuarius (talk) 14:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC) PS: August is for holidays what are you doing in WP? Take a walk in an island [5].

Article on Richard KempApologies for undoing your work on this article. I didn't realise until I just checked that you seem to be an official editor on Wikipedia and I am not fully aware of all the various formalities and protocols that seem to be in place. It took me quite a while to construct this page and I did not think it reasonable for just anyone to make substantial deletions like that without out of coutesy at least referring to the creator. As I say I didn't realise you had a formal status, it looked to me like vandalism as you introduced typos and made the page look more untidy by some of the editing. This article was not intended as promotion of Kemp, so if you believe you have removed any suggestions of that then it is a good thing. (I had thought my work on this was objective but obviously not from a third party perspective.) I will not make any further amendments.

I've noticed that you've noticed the recent rename of Category:Recipients of the Distinguished Service Medal to Category:Recipients of the Distinguished Service Medal (United States). This, of course, was done as the plain, un-disambiguated category was being used for the US medal - the UK recipients living in their own disambiguated UK category. So far so good. Just a heads-up that some of your 'cfd fix' edits to various bios might need to be looked at again. I've only looked at Lord Portal's article myself, but in his case he did actually receive the US medal, not the UK. In general, a man who received the DSM as one of the 'other ranks' and then rose up to be a General Officer would be a quite rare thing - my gut feeling is that most of these men did actually receive the US medal.

Apologies to your watchlistThat rename is something which I have vague regrets about starting. I looked at the GC category, saw there were only about a dozen categories - a reasonable number. I went ahead and started the nomination. Then we came to the VC. It didn't make sense to leave it out, and how much more complicated could it be? Sigh... To add insult to injury, I noticed today that while Category:Lists of Victoria Cross recipients by name was nominated, I forgot to nominate its contents - all 26 categories. Feel free to jump in ahead of me if you feel you have too much time on your hands! I tried to convince myself that this was valuable and important work, but in the cold light of the next day I'm forced to admit it was an awful lot of effort just to shift the word 'recipients' about a bit!

Thank you. 0–1What a pleasant surprise to hear from you after all this time ;-) After catching a train at 6am yesterday to ensure connections to get me to Brum in time for kickoff, by the time I got home again and had something to eat and drink, all I wanted to was sleep, not start updating Wikipedia. Added to which, I had a little discussion a few days ago about the need for coloured templates on the derby article which ended in a lack of consensus, so I'm keeping clear of there for a bit :-) Carew coming on against a knackered defence made the difference yesterday, that and Chucho not coming on until too late. Thought Young was very poor, and I'd like Howard Webb to explain why Petrov wasn't even booked for trying to amputate Johnson's lower leg. The fouls and corners figures throw an interesting light on how each team approached the game, pity it's the goals figure that matters... Thanks for the kind words re St Andrew's :-) I had to rewrite it as most of the previous version was copyvio, just wish I could put the same effort (or any effort at all) into History of BCFC to get the last of the basic articles up to a half-decent standard. Have you considered an article on Wellington Road or whatever your previous ground was called? always surprised me that there wasn't even a stub about a ground that was used for international matches.

Your name was recommended to me as someone who had worked on many articles related to the Victoria Cross, and who has taken several of them to FL status. I have begun work on getting List of Gurkha recipients of the Victoria Cross to FL status (although the main kudos go to AustralianRupert), and opened a peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Gurkha recipients of the Victoria Cross/archive1. I would very much appreciate your comments, especially on issues relating to completeness, photos and the article name. Thanks in advance! Dana boomer (talk) 23:03, 19 November 2009 (UTC) Articles for deletion nomination of Megan McArdle I have nominated Megan McArdle, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Megan McArdle (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Spike Wilbury (talk) 16:30, 23 November 2009 (UTC) Woody. I saw you recently deleted the Megan McArdle article. I have not been involved in the discussion regarding her article previously, however I noticed it was deleted today. I can attest to the fact that she is a notable blogger who warrants an article. She's one of the most famous economics bloggers in the world. Her footprint on Google is huge. If she doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability standards it's because the standards themselves are too restrictive. If you meet someone who is well-read and familiar with economics/political blogs they have almost certainly read her blog. Thankswoody thanks for all the help it is greatly appreciated Ntma (talk) 04:01, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Pitmilly articleHello Woody, When you get a chance, I would appreciate your looking at the quality rating of the above article, and possibly revising it. The article has been rated as C on the project's quality scale, which I believe to be low. As the main contributor, I was pretty thorough and I doubt that much more can be added at this time. I have no quibble with the low importance rating.Inver471ness (talk) 05:49, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, Woody. I thought that B was appropriate. Happy New Year!Inver471ness (talk) 06:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC) A Prime HandlingHi Woody, Can you userfy my article and help me make revisions so that its worthy of being published? I have read through several of the Wikipedia resources relevant to 'Stubs,' have followed a few currently posted examples and STILL my stub was marked for speedy deletion. My stub's purpose is to explain the mystery behind Master Installers, i.e. - why it faded away, which is all part of the current A-Prime Handling's history. Additionally, I am interested in listing products that fall under the 'Material Handling' category and define those as well. My original content is as follows: {{Userspace draft|source=ArticleWizard|date=December 2009}} '''A-Prime Handling, Inc''' Located in the Industrial Park of Avon, MA A-Prime Handling, Inc. (more commonly known as "A-Prime") is a national facility service, sales and installation company for material handling products. It's core business consists of selling, coordinating, delivering, servicing and installing the material handling products that it provides as well as those already owned by its clients. Essentially moving a retailer's products from their mode of delivery to their final destination. ;History Founded in 1977, with just two employees, A-Prime Handling, Inc. started as a pallet rack and mezzanine installation company known as Master Installers. It's founder and current company president, Michael Zelman started the company after working in the material handling industry for several years. However, the actual A-Prime Handling, Inc. enterprise did not exist until January 1990 as a result of Michael Zelman's desire to start selling material handling products in addition to simply installing them. Then, because of A-Prime Handling, Inc.'s success and increased recognition within the material handling industry, Michael Zelman decided to consolidate the businesses leaving Master Installers to fade away in 2004 and operate under the A-Prime Handling, Inc. name. Today, A-Prime Handling, Inc. is a national material handling facility service and product provider, hired by leading retailers within the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.
