The problem is that Pairs and doubles are different things, a pair is two people using one oar each a double is to people using two oar's each, as from the pictures is the case for these, the use of pair is incorrect else where as on their site they refer to the doubles division [1]. -- Nate1481( t/ c) 14:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC) P.S.

Hi - I visited the school website and went to the section on Senior School - a video by Griff Rhys Jones autoplated and quoted 2007 as being the anniversary year - the reference to how many years ago I took to be a non-updated reference and since the G R J was part of an official DVD issued by the school I have taken view it is probably correct. FWIW I visit the school 4 times a week (I happen to work with a trampoline club in the sports centre there) and can probably get an authoritative view if you want one. DaveK@BTC ( talk) 22:13, 18 May 2009 (UTC) Thanks for your update - it would be useful to get a view from the school but I may have found the answer elsewhere - in the book "Brentwood - A History" by Jennifer Ward ( ISBN 1 86077 279 X) it says "Tudor courtiers and lawyers set a hiugh value on education, and were largely responsible for establishing grammar schools in Essex. Anthony Browne, supported by local people, founded the Grammar School at Brentwood on 28 July 1558," Further reading in this book suggests that the current school location did not get established until some years after (1568 it seems) with the school first "being held in the chapel and house of Redcross, on the corner of London Road and Honeypot Lane." (Approx a mile away and outside what was then the town itself). DaveK@BTC ( talk) 08:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 04:52, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Hey Arjayay, sorry to hear about your troubles with RefToolbar. I would love to help you troubleshoot this problem as it is likely that if you are experiencing it, others are as well. First off, I would like for you to temporarily turn off all your user scripts in your skin JS page. Next disable all of your gadgets. Then turn on "Enable enhanced editing toolbar" and "Enable dialogs for inserting links, tables and more" under editing preferences. Go to edit an article and do a hard refresh (shift-refresh on most browsers). Record whether or not refToolbar shows up or not (it should add a "Cite" dropdown in the toolbar). Next turn off "Enable dialogs for inserting links, tables and more". Repeat the shift-refresh on the edit page and record if refToolbar shows up or not. Next turn off "Enable enhanced editing toolbar". Repeat the shift-refresh on the edit page and record if refToolbar shows up or not (it should appear as a square "Cite" button in the toolbar). Then post the results here, and I'll follow-up with you. Kaldari ( talk) 02:19, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion, guidelines for use at
WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Dear Sir,
As a member of the Wiki Project, and author or wikifier of several biographies, one of them eligibel to a B level status, I allowed myself to add a banner "Autobiography" on Florence Devouard. You immediately removed this banner with no explanation.
Having looked at this "biography" more in depth, I came to the conclusion, like dozens of other Wiki users, French and Englsh speaking, that this biography was more than dubious.
I added a banner "Notability". You removed my banner in a very rough way, almost threatening.
Were you threatening me ?
The autobiographical character is obvious if you look at the Talk page in French.
On this French talk page, Anthere gives orders to her "little brothers" and tells them exactly what to add, what to correct, in order for her to get a job !
She insists that her quality of "conseiller municipal" (village counsellor) of a village with 900 inhabitants in the middle of nowhere should be indicated.
Anthere even gives some technical tricks (subpage written by somebody else, in order not to be traced !)…
This whole process is ridiculous, unprofessional, unethical.
As several people already pointed out, this biography does not meet WP:BIO requirements.
This autobiography is empty. No notable achievement in the field of agronomy, nor in the field of Wikipedia, nor anywhere else… In my humble opinion it should be removed.

Back in July, you entered a problem at the Village Pump about your My preferences tabs not working. Did you ever get that resolved?

I checked the Navbars in Firefox, and the separators appeared. That was my first clue that something was wrong in the IE browser. My advice is to go back and carefully look at your Compatibility View settings one more time. Make sure "wikipedia.org" has not been added inside the box. If it has been added, click on it to select it, then click the "Remove" button. Also make sure that the "Display all websites in Compatibility View" box is unchecked.I'm sorry that you feel that I'm trying to censor you.

Hello, Arjayay. Earlier this week you removed some promotional language from the Penn Schoen Berland article, specifically trimming a section called Penn Schoen Berland South Asia, which was added by an IP editor earlier in the week.
I'd actually like to suggest that the section be removed entirely, and I'm asking if you'll do so. It's not supported by any third-party sources, there's no indication that the South Asia office is noteworthy enough to deserve a top-level heading, and per WP:EL external links don't belong in the body of articles. Lastly, the Delhi office is already mentioned in Corporate overview.
Relevant background: I worked with PSB's New York office to update this article earlier in the year ( See that discussion here.). Then as now, I'd like to avoid direct edits to the page. Would you be willing to make this change? Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 15:03, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Arjayay,
I recently created the page about Hapag Lloyds new ship MS Europa 2. I don't mean to sound rude but I noticed that you changed the date of the maiden voyage from 11th May 2013 to the 11th June 2013. According to the Hapag Lloyd website (link below), the maiden voyage is on the 11/05/13 and lasts until the 25/05/13, which is May, not June.

As you are being so helpful I would like you to just look at the above which I published at the same time as the piece on Ligier Richier. I am sure that you would also classify this as an "essay" which is fair comment.
This was also tagged as an "orphan" and today I have been adding ... to many parts of the article.
However this does not seem remedy the absence of a link to the "Maitre de Chaource" and I would really value your help.
Weglinde ( talk) 15:07, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Many thanks for this. I shall try to follow your advice on "incoming links".
Concerning the style of writing, the pieces on Ligier Richier and the Maitre de Chaource were not written as part of a course and I have written several articles for Wikipedia which, in the absence of any comment, were I guess in the correct encyclopedic form and I did not set out to write these two pieces in a different form. It just happened.
Not sure if there is another wiki "vehicle" to which the two pieces could be transferred? If not I hope they will be allowed to stand.
Again thanks for your help.

WIKIPEDIA: EL OFFICIAL The linked content is controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article. The linked content primarily covers the area for which the subject of the article is notable.

Hi Arjayay, My understanding was that it's acceptable to include information about the current location of a work of art. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Captions states "The present location may be added in parentheses: (Louvre)." I can improve my formatting since I see from the guidelines that what I was doing isn't ideal: I hadn't been using the brackets. Presumably using (Chemical Heritage Foundation) would be acceptable under that guideline. Would a linkback be acceptable if it points to information specifically about the image? I didn't have a page about the Paine image specifically, so I had linked the page to the organization's site. (I've see that done elsewhere, so I didn't realize it was an error. Apologies.)

As a member of the Wiki Project, and author or wikifier of several biographies, one of them eligibel to a B level status, I allowed myself to add a banner "Autobiography" on Florence Devouard. You immediately removed this banner with no explanation.
Having looked at this "biography" more in depth, I came to the conclusion, like dozens of other Wiki users, French and Englsh speaking, that this biography was more than dubious.
I added a banner "Notability". You removed my banner in a very rough way, almost threatening.
Were you threatening me ?
The autobiographical character is obvious if you look at the Talk page in French.
On this French talk page, Anthere gives orders to her "little brothers" and tells them exactly what to add, what to correct, in order for her to get a job !
She insists that her quality of "conseiller municipal" (village counsellor) of a village with 900 inhabitants in the middle of nowhere should be indicated.
Anthere even gives some technical tricks (subpage written by somebody else, in order not to be traced !)…
This whole process is ridiculous, unprofessional, unethical.
As several people already pointed out, this biography does not meet WP:BIO requirements.
This autobiography is empty. No notable achievement in the field of agronomy, nor in the field of Wikipedia, nor anywhere else… In my humble opinion it should be removed.

Back in July, you entered a problem at the Village Pump about your My preferences tabs not working. Did you ever get that resolved? I had the same problem and found that my IE Compatibility Mode had somehow become engaged for "all websites". When I disengaged Compatibility Mode, the My Prefs problem was resolved.

{{,}}
of some type that places a separating dot between entries. All the entries in all the Navbars were butted up against each other, which made them very hard to read. I checked the Navbars in Firefox, and the separators appeared. That was my first clue that something was wrong in the IE browser. My advice is to go back and carefully look at your Compatibility View settings one more time. Make sure "wikipedia.org" has not been added inside the box. If it has been added, click on it to select it, then click the "Remove" button. Also make sure that the "Display all websites in Compatibility View" box is unchecked.I'm sorry that you feel that I'm trying to censor you. I remember only that I was once in a wiki-policy (do not remember the name) around pictures of people that you should not put them up if it was (half) naked in the pictures, or if it was taken as part of the example. filming a porn movie. kind regards. -- 89.249.2.53 ( talk) 08:33, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi there Arjayay! I am not part of the zoo as you first thought. I am just a very keen and regular visitor. I merely ment to improve the quality of the zoo's wikipedia page and update some of the information there! I had no intention to advertise, and I feel that I am not advertising. If you beleive that there is advertising on the page, then please do delete the information. I am new to wikipedia, and had no idea of the of all the things you have to do with a article. I am sorry for the hastle i have caused. EL BIRNO 23:59, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
I trust Yahoo! with my life. Also I have other sources I could put in. I think it is very important and should not be reverted. By the way Pure links to my User Page and you can just click my talk from there. Evoogd20 Pure Awesomeness 02:44, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Who the fuck are you?! He does'nt have to tell you who he is . I know him he was there, in TYP for 4 fucken years; you were'nt there for a day so shut the fuck up. And how the fuck is he supposed to citate his sources if they want to stay annonymous. I know them, they were all there for at least 4 years. Be careful man, it's not smart to fuck with the YMG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.113.167.211 ( talk) 15:16, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Arjayay. Earlier this week you removed some promotional language from the Penn Schoen Berland article, specifically trimming a section called Penn Schoen Berland South Asia, which was added by an IP editor earlier in the week.
I'd actually like to suggest that the section be removed entirely, and I'm asking if you'll do so. It's not supported by any third-party sources, there's no indication that the South Asia office is noteworthy enough to deserve a top-level heading, and per WP:EL external links don't belong in the body of articles. Lastly, the Delhi office is already mentioned in Corporate overview.
Relevant background: I worked with PSB's New York office to update this article earlier in the year ( See that discussion here.). Then as now, I'd like to avoid direct edits to the page. Would you be willing to make this change? Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 15:03, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
oh right, one thing that would help would be removing all the see alsos that are in the template at the bottom of the article, the see alsos aren't mean to repeat anything else Tom B ( talk) 18:17, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Arjayay,
I recently created the page about Hapag Lloyds new ship MS Europa 2. I don't mean to sound rude but I noticed that you changed the date of the maiden voyage from 11th May 2013 to the 11th June 2013. According to the Hapag Lloyd website (link below), the maiden voyage is on the 11/05/13 and lasts until the 25/05/13, which is May, not June.

I just thought I would bring this to your attention.

As you are being so helpful I would like you to just look at the above which I published at the same time as the piece on Ligier Richier. I am sure that you would also classify this as an "essay" which is fair comment.
This was also tagged as an "orphan" and today I have been adding ... to many parts of the article.
However this does not seem remedy the absence of a link to the "Maitre de Chaource" and I would really value your help.
Weglinde ( talk) 15:07, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Many thanks for this. I shall try to follow your advice on "incoming links".
Concerning the style of writing, the pieces on Ligier Richier and the Maitre de Chaource were not written as part of a course and I have written several articles for Wikipedia which, in the absence of any comment, were I guess in the correct encyclopedic form and I did not set out to write these two pieces in a different form. It just happened.
Not sure if there is another wiki "vehicle" to which the two pieces could be transferred? If not I hope they will be allowed to stand.
Again thanks for your help.

(1) The edit you reverted at Graham Bean had BLP issues (the IP was indeed blocked, but that isn't grounds for revert, especially when BLP requires verifiable information) and was reversed by Drmies. (2) Your spelling fixes are too rapid; are you using a BOT or a script to fix it? - Penwhale | dance in the air and follow his steps 00:48, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
WIKIPEDIA: EL OFFICIAL The linked content is controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article. The linked content primarily covers the area for which the subject of the article is notable.
So I can take media files from official site of the subject. The area for which he is notable are his songs (and other songs in his perfomance). I don't want to trouble the administrators, though they didn't prevent me in other resembling article. Анна Волкова ( talk) 19:15, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Arjaway, you are right. I want to propogandize Russian music but I must obey the rules. Please, help me. Irina Harpy deleted my section in the article Kievan Rus' though I didn't break the rules. You may see it. It's simple to help me if you delete last edition in this article and write that arguments are mistaken. Анна Волкова ( talk) 03:59, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

I really didn't intend to pipe [[Upper Crust (restaurant chain)|media]], and your edit was right; there's really no need to link it at all. I appreciate you cleaning up after my mistake. Keep up the good work. SchreiberBike talk 17:26, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Arjayay, My understanding was that it's acceptable to include information about the current location of a work of art. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Captions states "The present location may be added in parentheses: (Louvre)." I can improve my formatting since I see from the guidelines that what I was doing isn't ideal: I hadn't been using the brackets. Presumably using (Chemical Heritage Foundation) would be acceptable under that guideline. Would a linkback be acceptable if it points to information specifically about the image? I didn't have a page about the Paine image specifically, so I had linked the page to the organization's site. (I've see that done elsewhere, so I didn't realize it was an error. Apologies.)

In edits such as this and this, you removed entries that did in fact have a legitimate blue link per WP:DABRL. older ≠ wiser 19:20, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
