Hi there -- thanks for dealing with the vandal at Johnny Vegas. I saw it in recent changes, and before I was able to do it, you had already reverted it. Just a friendly reminder, though, that your edit summary calling him/her a "childish idiot" (even though it was a vandal) can be considered uncivil, and you might want to refrain from that kind of characterization in the future. Dylan 22:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I was working in 3-4 tabs and I must have clicked your Archive, gone off to do something else, and rediscovered it. Seeing the recent timestamp, I replied to Umma (who I guess had already made that mistake), thinking I was at Talk:Johnny Vegas. Sorry 'bout that! Dylan 23:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for expressing your concern over my chosen username, but I believe it will be useful in aiding other users to identify me and the jobs I carry out here.
Also, you forgot to substitute the warning template on my talk page, see Wikipedia:Template substitution on why it is important to do this.-- Professional Deletionist 21:22, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I would suggest that some work be done as far as figuring out what IP range he is from, I'll look at the range shortly. If its the same guy, I'd hate to disable all anon editing because of one dude. —— Eagle101 Need help? 22:57, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
It was moved from Just William to Just William series, because it regarded the whole series and not the specific book, I'm still editing and working on them. Thanls
RodHullandEmu, I'm asking you this because you seem to know everywikithing. Why do all references in Wikipedia connected to -Alex Finlayson- show up in Google, including obscure lists, but not the main entry? It shows up in other search engines. Does Google take longer? Another entry I submitted showed up almost immediately. Just curious. Thanks! Vidamasvida 21:31, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Forgive me, RodHullandEmu, for using you instead of the Wikinstructions for which I have no patience. How do I qualify the photo I inserted into the entry "Douglas Day?" It is a personal photo given to me by Day. I don't even know where to begin with the copywright instructions. Thanks for tutoring me. Vidamasvida 22:09, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
VOILA! I typed in the tag above and there she is. now I think I got it. Vidamasvida 23:05, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I currently have this as a GA nominee, but I'd like you to take a look at it if you could, and identify any problems that you notice with the article and leave them on the talk page there. Thanks.-- h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 18:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I was trying to fix it so that comments could be added, and I've made things worse. You might want to renominate this one for November 2 (which is now posting); I'm in agreement with you on deletion, since there's nothing on this list to show any contribution made by any of the named persons to foreign relations between Germany and Japan. Even the aricle Ambassadors from the United States lists current ambassadors, and "selected" former ambassadors, i.e., those persons who were noteworthy. I can't figure out what went wrong with the way you posted... I'm going to try to revert the original version that you had. Sorry to make things worse Mandsford 02:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Dear RHE, I can't figure out how to add my entry (Carlos Goez) to a category (Independent Bookstores). I go to the category list for I.B. and click on Edit but don't know how to add a name. In the past, lists I added to have had an "edit" button near each letter, but . . . Vidamasvida 22:57, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
So I'm all for getting it reviewed and even getting that user's "powers" reviewed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 7aresslubnan ( talk • contribs) 23:49, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
This makes me curious:
Why not remove the explanatory note and simply use correct spelling? Keeping the bad spelling only makes them look bad. Is that the intention? By using correct spelling we could then use wikilinks. -- Fyslee / talk 22:23, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

As far as I am aware motive is only relevant at the sentencing stage. At no point prior to this can motive be used to consider guilt. Of course, it can be used by the prosecution for a more compelling case, but this is merely superficial, as the judge will be prohibited from directing the jury to consider the defendant's motive. The judge can, however, consider motive at the sentencing stage. This is an extremely settled area of law, put simply, if the prosecution can prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant possessed the appropriate actus reus and mens rea of the offence and subsequently has no defence, he will be found guilty of murder. I understand your point about motive, but it would in my opinion lead to great uncertainty within the law. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben stephenson ( talk • contribs) 23:19, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Spot on! My leaving date has been confirmed as January 4 2008, others will be departing over time in a phased move of business volume from Trowbridge to Nottingham, the deadline for which is March 31 2008. However, nothing goes to plan (esp. at Bowyers), so it could be sometime April.
If you mean get-togethers of Bowyers staff, nothing happens like that since the demise of the Social Club (Town Bridge → Bradley Road → nowhere).
I probably sound like an "old hand", however (in this incarnation) I have only been there 4½ years. I spent nine months in the 'old' dough room upstairs in 1980, but left due to (first) marital disharmony. Just think, if I had stayed, I would have collected my watch already, plus would be banking circa £26,000 due to the most generous terms of redundancy. Oh well...
There is a Closing Down Party being held on January 15 2008 (can you believe it? Pay £3 for the privilege of celebrating the loss of your job, held when you've already left!), but that's likely to be present staff only. If you think I can help with any more questions, please email me.
Anyway, thanks for getting in contact, good editing. Ref (chew) (do) 01:36, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

You reverted some edits in the article The Prisoner by Moor-Larkin, identifying them as vandalism. Just for future reference: I have had some dealings, still going on in fact, with this person on the message boards for this at the Internet Movie Database, specifically the threads, "Prisoner questions" and "What order do the episodes go in?" I assure you that he made those revisions in good faith ("Booby" Kennedy was undoubtedly a typo). I agree with your reverting them, but there is no doubt that he was sincere. He believes what he wants to about this program and doesn't let new-to-him facts get in the way, a most unfortunate attitude. If he should make any future edits here, please keep this in mind, to be fair to him. Ted Watson 22:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey there Rodhullandemu! You're right, it's probably beter to start out with Lobe as it's the current common law and gave rise to the 27th amendment. I think that Fajujonu has a lot of merit on its own though, because it had been precedent for seventeen years, during which time tens of thousands of immigrants were able to emigrate to Ireland as a result. If you're interested in helping, which would be awesome, you might want to check out this issue of the Law Society Gazette, particularly the cover story on page 20, entitled Guests of the Nation. Thanks a lot for the post, mate and hopefully we can get started soon! Cheers gaillimh Conas tá tú? 03:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Annie2007small.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree ( talk) 04:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Now that my project is fully up and running, I though you might want to consider the four main benefits of my method over the one that you seem to be supporting:
Hello, I am the IP who was allegedly engaged in an edit war at Rush Limbaugh. I find the move to protect the page procedurally strange. Since the objective was obviously to prevent me from continuing to edit the page, presumably a request to block should have been issued. However, as there are no good grounds for blocking me, the page was protected instead. I don't appreciate my recent edits as being glibly dismissed as IP edit warring. Perhaps edit-misunderstanding would be nearer the mark. What happened was this: one editor had rolled back the page too far in his or her efforts to fight vandalism. As a result, some vandalism was removed while other vandalism was in fact re-added. No one else seemed to catch this mistake. When I tried to correct it, other editors got the idea that (despite my repeated entreaties on the talk page), I was somehow vandalizing the page. Finally, in order to convince the world at large, I carefully rolled the edits back one at a time, documenting what I was doing on talk and in terms of the edit history of the page, using null edits (for summaries) where appropriate. All in all, I have been quite mistreated by a rather significant number of editors. I don't blame anyone personally: it's just part of the Wikipedia hivemind. And at least one editor has apologized for the oversight. Yet I find that this current administrative action only adds insult to injury. The lesson to learn here is not that IP trying to make changes should be prevented from editing, but rather that they should sometimes be listened to, and indeed can make substantive contributions to a page. If anything, the biggest offenders here are the regular, registered users, not the IPs. Can't you block them from editing instead for once? ;-P 71.182.215.210 ( talk) 19:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Less concerned with my rep than being someone who stood by and did nothing. Probably it was a meaningless, thoughtless, dumb kid type remark. I've just been trained to exercise due diligence, and could not let it slide. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 22:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Rodhullandemu, random thought based on your comment over on Shalom's RfA, "an (ec) wiped out my reasoned response." Just wanted to make sure you knew that when you get edit conflicted, it doesn't actually get rid of your edit; if your scroll down the page that opens, there's a box under the first one with the page as it would have been with your edits, and even with your edit summary intact. Hope this helps (and it took me a heck of a long time to figure that out lol!) ~ Eliz 81 (C) 08:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
We should probably take this up on the EA talk page, but Desert Strike does not have it's own entry in the List of EA games. Yes, it is listed there, but all the games by EA are listed, whether great or dreadful. The link you gave me is a section in the article on the Strike series. Again, most games, whether great or bad, have articles. Given the fact that it only has a section of an article about it and not even a whole article, I again assert that Desert Strike is not notable and should be removed from the notable list. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 15:21, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Unless, the locations and schedules for the broadcasting of HIGNFY are different from me in London?? PoliceChief ( talk) 22:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I concur, I apologise for any raised tension... it probably is the later scheduling from where I am to where you are in being broadcast PoliceChief ( talk) 22:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Now that my project is fully up and running, I though you might want to consider the four main benefits of my method over the one that you seem to be supporting:
Hello, I am the IP who was allegedly engaged in an edit war at Rush Limbaugh. I find the move to protect the page procedurally strange. Since the objective was obviously to prevent me from continuing to edit the page, presumably a request to block should have been issued. However, as there are no good grounds for blocking me, the page was protected instead. I don't appreciate my recent edits as being glibly dismissed as IP edit warring. Perhaps edit-misunderstanding would be nearer the mark. What happened was this: one editor had rolled back the page too far in his or her efforts to fight vandalism. As a result, some vandalism was removed while other vandalism was in fact re-added. No one else seemed to catch this mistake. When I tried to correct it, other editors got the idea that (despite my repeated entreaties on the talk page), I was somehow vandalizing the page. Finally, in order to convince the world at large, I carefully rolled the edits back one at a time, documenting what I was doing on talk and in terms of the edit history of the page, using null edits (for summaries) where appropriate. All in all, I have been quite mistreated by a rather significant number of editors. I don't blame anyone personally: it's just part of the Wikipedia hivemind. And at least one editor has apologized for the oversight. Yet I find that this current administrative action only adds insult to injury. The lesson to learn here is not that IP trying to make changes should be prevented from editing, but rather that they should sometimes be listened to, and indeed can make substantive contributions to a page. If anything, the biggest offenders here are the regular, registered users, not the IPs. Can't you block them from editing instead for once? ;-P 71.182.215.210 ( talk) 19:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Less concerned with my rep than being someone who stood by and did nothing. Probably it was a meaningless, thoughtless, dumb kid type remark. I've just been trained to exercise due diligence, and could not let it slide. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 22:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Rodhullandemu, random thought based on your comment over on Shalom's RfA, "an (ec) wiped out my reasoned response." Just wanted to make sure you knew that when you get edit conflicted, it doesn't actually get rid of your edit; if your scroll down the page that opens, there's a box under the first one with the page as it would have been with your edits, and even with your edit summary intact. Hope this helps (and it took me a heck of a long time to figure that out lol!) ~ Eliz 81 (C) 08:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
We should probably take this up on the EA talk page, but Desert Strike does not have it's own entry in the List of EA games. Yes, it is listed there, but all the games by EA are listed, whether great or dreadful. The link you gave me is a section in the article on the Strike series. Again, most games, whether great or bad, have articles. Given the fact that it only has a section of an article about it and not even a whole article, I again assert that Desert Strike is not notable and should be removed from the notable list. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 15:21, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
