Hello,
Thanks for your attention to the Oscar Wilde article. Unfortunately, the correct spelling is "Queensberry"--I checked it in numerous sources at the time. Here is His Lordship's calling card: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/File:Somdomite.jpg
P.s. I am very much not an American.

Thanks for the message and kind remarks. I came across the theatre when I was expanding the article on Jack Fitchett. Another Plymouth resident, Argyle 4 Life mentioned the state the theatre is in, which inspired me to read up further and then to create the article. I hope the article can help in some way to persuading the owners and local authority to get together to work out a future for the theatre before it gets any worse. I live in Sussex myself and have only ever been to Plymouth once, so it's unlikely our paths will cross in the real world. Best wishes. -- Daemonic Kangaroo ( talk) 13:58, 14 May 2013 (UTC) delete
Tnx fr yr comments regarding the Black and Tans edits. Here are some clarifications: (i) I think I agree with you that "the then" is indeed a bit more concise and, if anything, my use of the term 'stupid' referred to its removal, rather than its inclusion. The goal of my edit was to try and avoid the issue entirely by rewording. I'm not sure that concision can always the key goal in WP. Apologies if it offended. (ii) With regard to the use of 'pulls no punches', that's entirely between you and the other editors - I don't have any opinion and am not involved in these edits. (iii) To be clear, I am Irish, although admittedly I spend part of my time in Silicon Valley, which may account for your inaccurate use of expressions like 'you Americans' and the reference to Bill O'Reillly. Tnx! jxm ( talk) 06:30, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the concern, but Wikipedia's manual of style on date formats explicitly doesn't use "th" suffixes. It does respect UK/US day/month ordering, though, so by all means correct that if an article is using the wrong one. -- McGeddon ( talk) 21:41, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi! As you tagged yourself as being in Ireland, I hope you don't mind me reaching out. We know have a recognised Wikimedia Community Ireland User Group and we have been running workshops and other events in Dublin and beyond. In case you are interested our next event will be this Saturday in Collins Barracks, you can find the details here. Smirkybec ( talk) 22:42, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
I think it's good to recognise when someone contributes something that has been overlooked for a long time, particularly thankless tasks like punctuation. No other reason. Koncorde ( talk) 17:37, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
I reverted your last edit to Chris Matthews because "couple" in "the couple has" is a collective noun. So even though it sounds wrong, it is actually correct to say "the couple has" rather than "the couple have". -- Scjessey ( talk) 13:57, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello. A tag has been placed on The Chippendale Society 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 an organization or company, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 removed 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. Rahul Text me 21:51, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:The banner of The Chippendale Society.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 03:09, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thomas Chippendale, the younger, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edwin Lascelles ( 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.

Hi Markdask,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello Markdask. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as mark pages as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 11:50, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Markdask. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.

Hi Mark. I have moved the article as requested. I haven't, however, corrected the spelling within the article, so you may want to take care of that. For future reference, the moving procedure is normally very straightforward: just hover over the "More" button in the article's topbar: that will give you a "Move" button to click on, and then follow the instructions. Things can get more complicated if your "new" article name already exists as a redirect, and of course potentially controversial moves should be discussed in advance, but those tend to be exceptional cases.

Please take care not to add {{ stub}} to an article like Baghauli which already has a specific stub tag - though actually in this case it led me to find the article in Category:Stubs while stub-sorting and add a much more specific stub tag than had previously been added!

Hello, I was somewhat concerned by your speedy deletion nominations of two articles. Neither Nearly nor Reminder (Nearly album) qualify under A9. Nearly is a band and therefore A9 is out of scope. It is within the scope of CSD A7, except it does have a credible claim of significance (because it has a notable member in the band) and thus A7 does not apply. The album is within A9's scope, but does not qualify for sure because A9 explicitly states "none of the contributing recording artists has an article". Please make sure to read speedy deletion criteria carefully, as they bypass consensus-based decisions and the community only has a consensus to speedily delete under the exact criteria written. Appable ( talk) 22:11, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
I've been working on the oldest articles in the backlog as a reviewer for weeks now so I'm kinda "quick on the draw" so to speak. [ This], and [ this] and [ this] are three articles I speedied in one day, (4th December), but don't think of me as the grim reaper lol; [ this], and [ this] and [ this] are three articles I virtually rebuilt around the same time, (view their edit histories). I specialize in graphics, maps, inline citations and formatting references. So I've redirected both those under discussion and of course I can reinstate them at any time. Again, thanks for your input, I'll probably opt more for redirect in the future ;D. Mark Dask 01:19, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
This is our second request. The backlog is still growing. Your help is needed now - just a few minutes each day.

Hello Markdask. Speedy deletion work is important and I do appreciate the effort. I would just ask that you please review the criteria carefully because accuracy is also important. On that issue, I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of I'm Born to Run as an article that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the topic under CSD A7. That criterion did not apply because the article was about a musical recording, and A7 only applies to articles on real persons or groups, individual animals, organisations, web content and organised events. Musical recordings do come under A9, but that also did not apply because it is only for articles on musical recordings where none of the contributing recording artists has an article, and an article on American Authors exists. Adam9007 ( talk) 04:01, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
A1, like all other "A" criteria, is for articles, and not for redirects; tagging a redirect for A1 is as preposterous as tagging a file for R3. Please read the criteria for speedy deletion before doing any more tagging: if you continue with such bad tagging, expect other people (not just me) to start wondering if your account's been compromised or if you've decided to become a vandal. Nyttend ( talk) 04:06, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Musical recordings do come under A9, but that also did not apply because it is only for articles on musical recordings where none of the contributing recording artists has an article, and an article on American Authors exists.

A1, like all other "A" criteria, is for articles, and not for redirects; tagging a redirect for A1 is as preposterous as tagging a file for R3. Please read the criteria for speedy deletion before doing any more tagging: if you continue with such bad tagging, expect other people (not just me) to start wondering if your account's been compromised or if you've decided to become a vandal.

You have tagged this article for spedy deletion as being created by a banned or blocked user; the apparent creator is not overtly blocked, and you have failed to indicate the sock which you are accusing of creating while blocked. Who is the blocked editor, please?-- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 17:30, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
