Hi. Can I ask who you are? You don't have to answer this question if you don't want to. You can even blank this message for all I care... Power level (Dragon Ball) 21:07, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Not sure how to answer that question, what do you want to know about me? Who are you?! 4kinnel 20:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I have reverted your change to Beata Brookes, and to be honest I can't understand your objection. The nickname is genuine and a reference for it is given. The fact that this phrase has not been reported anywhere on the internet does not mean that it is nonexistent, nor even that it is not worth reporting. It is not a surprise that information about someone whose active political career ended in 1989 is not to be found online. However, some examples of its use:
AND in Wales, the Stalking Horse's Stalking Horse is cantering again. Beata Brookes unsuccessfully challenged Sir Anthony Meyer's candidature for Clwyd North West, after he had the affrontery to challenge Mrs Thatcher's party leadership. She has just been selected as chair of the Welsh Conservative Party, and on local radio yesterday insisted the Tories didn't do all that badly on Thursday. Miss Brookes is known as the Celtic Iron Lady: nobody had the nerve to challenge this singular view, never mind point out that in Wales, even without elections this year, her party holds fewer county council seats than either the Lib-Dems or the Welsh Nats. In Stalking Horse days the Diary was ungallant enough to note the fascinating variations in her age through successive political directories. I wouldn't dream of returning to this, and will instead pass on the terror of a local photographer, who found herself trying to escape from the Brookes drawing room, entirely painted Tory blue, walls, door, the lot. If she hadn't spotted the glint of a doorknob she'd be in there still, she recalled, shuddering.
In a three-way clash, Sir Anthony Meyer was preferred over Ms Beata Brookes (known as the "Celtic Iron Lady") and Morgan, whose claim to be considered for nomination was ruled out of order. As he left the hotel he said with customary dignity: "I don't mind being beaten as long as I am beaten fairly."
I think it's also a bit difficult, when the article has gone on Do You Know?, to remove from it the 'hook' which is on the Main page. Sam Blacketer 17:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Read WP:V carefully, the quotes you have listed are not verifiable by the reader. Please stop adding unverifiable quotes. 4kinnel 18:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Look, in order for consideration about recreation of Peppers you need to do one simple thing- present multiple, non-trivial, independent reliable sources. JoshuaZ 21:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, 4kinnel, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?
When pronounced, your username sounds like the expletive "Fucking hell", contravening the 'offensive language' provisions of WP:U.
I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.
You have several options freely available to you:
Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism ( WP:AIV), or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! -- Sam Blacketer 22:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
You may want to look at the current version of the article and consider revising your opinion since the current version has multiple reliable sources including a note about a notable award the community has recieved. Thanks JoshuaZ 02:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I strongly suggest you withdraw your remarks about Tony's username or further action may have to be taken. -- Nick t 19:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I think you may need this, you seem to need to brush up on policy and guidelines. — Vanderdecken∴ ∫ ξ φ 12:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
