The deletion was requested for housekeeping purposes here by User:Marknew. Ask him what the story is. Harr o 5 10:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I didn't request a deletion as such: I requested that the histories of BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio Five Live be merged (to fix a copy-and-paste move), following the instructions at Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves. According to that page, an administrator must temporarily delete the article, then follow the repair process. Since I am not an administrator, I couldn't do this myself! Hopefully Harro5 will now complete the process, now that I have told him. -- Marknew 13:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Stop posting your incorrect "facts" about BBC Radio Lincolnshire. You clearly have little knowledge of the station or its staff. -- Differentgravy 18:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
The article GUS Band has been or soon will be deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a subject but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles.

I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article Carre's Grammar School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Hi, I noticed that you added a section to the North East England article on education. I was wondering just what you meant by the NE schooling system is completely comprehensive. I can think of a number of traditionally private and selective independent schools in the region, probably as many as in other northern regions. Or am I just being thick, which isn't unusual. There is no LEA that consists of wholly seclective schools I admit. hedpeguyuk 16:40, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, What is the basis of your comment that "The parish is shared with Tickencote and Little Casterton". Unless this has recently changed, Gt C is a separate parish (both civil and ecclesiastical). Possibly you mena the benefice is shared ... (i.e. the distinct parishes share a priest). In which case I believe Pickworth should be added.

A tag has been placed on Spalding Grammar School, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

As you know the Education system in Kent is a deeply politicised issue. I have read your analysis and I fail to identify the 25 schools who you refer to as comprehensive- the catholic sector did offer 'Comprehensive' education and Sheppey did and so did the Hoo peninsula. Bennet Memorial was (if I remember right) a CofE secondary modern that called itself a comprehensive for children who had failed the Kent Test. Which brings me to the point- you have not included your references- so I cannot verify. WP:5P.
Further another editor spends hours of her time copy editing Kent articles adding references where they have been ommitted. This is also serious point , as your work looks like a point of view and original work and is likely to get savaged if you cannot prove otherwise. You also filled out the article on Gwyn- could you provide the references there please. ClemRutter 09:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the information on education you supplied on the North Yorkshire article, but it lacks sources.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Abi Titmuss article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. -- Yamla ( talk) 19:05, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that you are making links to off-Wiki images such as these. It's not really a good idea to make inline links like that. I looked at a couple of the images and noticed that they are licensed in way that is compatible with Wikipedia. So what I suggest is that instead of linking to them try the following. Go to Wikimedia Commons, see Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons, and set up an account there. Then you can download images such as this or this and using the code (and this) they provide upload the images to the Commons. Then some of the images could be used right in the Wikipedia articles rather than linking to them. You can also a template like the one seen at Yellowknife#See also to show where the rest of the images can be seen. Just make sure that the images have a Creative Commons licence. If you need any help please let me know or ask User:Alison who is an administrator on Commons as well as here. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 20:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading
Image:Club18-30Logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page
Newcastle University do not comply with our

Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to

Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See
the external links guideline and

Thank you for uploading File:Semta rgb strap.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

I've just reverted an edit of yours that claimed that Daring is "the first ship in the world with an all-electric ... power system i.e. it has no gearbox". I'm afraid BAE's publicity department is leading you into error! There have been ships with all-electric propulsion since at least the early part of the 20th century - for an example, see USS Langley (CV-1). Furthermore, the source given says that she is "the first front-line warship to use all-electric propulsion", which is not what the edit says, and is also demonstrably false.
I'd also suggest that the details of her propulsion system should go in Type 45 destroyer, rather than HMS Daring (D32), since they pertain to all the ships of the class. By the way, be aware of sweeping statements like "The ship also is the most fuel efficient in the Royal Navy, using around 35 cubic metres of fuel a day. As a comparison, its engines could provide enough electrical power for every house in Dundee. It could travel from Scotland to the Falklands and back without refuelling." HMS Scott, for example, uses about 20 cubic meters of fuel a day, displaces twice as much, and carries twice as much fuel, making her far more fuel-efficient and giving her a far greater range, whichever way you look at it.
I hope this help to clarify. Yours, Shem ( talk) 11:32, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

DLE,
Looking at the page history, it seems that anonymous editors sometimes contribute useful information - for example, [3] [4]. At the same time, the vandalism is not overwhelmingly frequent. So despite the annoyance of reverting vandalism, it seems to me preferable to leave the page unprotected to all users. What do you think?

Hi! I noticed you added a lot of information to the Rolls-Royce Pegasus article, which is great! However, you didn't add any citations to the article. Can you please cite your additions? Also, I noticed that you reorganized the article some (new headings, etc.). When there is so little information under each heading, it is customary to leave it as longer prose paragraphs. As more information is added, you can break it into sections, but it looks a bit messy as it is now.

Hi, thanks for your message. I'm not planning on making articles for candidates. If any of the redlinks on election candidates get created, they will show up in the related changes (that's the reason - both MPs and candidates will be more at risk near the election).

I didn't request a deletion as such: I requested that the histories of BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio Five Live be merged (to fix a copy-and-paste move), following the instructions at Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves.

All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Hi, I noticed that you added a section to the North East England article on education. I was wondering just what you meant by the NE schooling system is completely comprehensive. I can think of a number of traditionally private and selective independent schools in the region, probably as many as in other northern regions. Or am I just being thick, which isn't unusual. There is no LEA that consists of wholly seclective schools I admit. hedpeguyuk 16:40, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

As you know the Education system in Kent is a deeply politicised issue. I have read your analysis and I fail to identify the 25 schools who you refer to as comprehensive- the catholic sector did offer 'Comprehensive' education and Sheppey did and so did the Hoo peninsula. Bennet Memorial was (if I remember right) a CofE secondary modern that called itself a comprehensive for children who had failed the Kent Test. Which brings me to the point- you have not included your references- so I cannot verify. WP:5P.
Further another editor spends hours of her time copy editing Kent articles adding references where they have been ommitted. This is also serious point , as your work looks like a point of view and original work and is likely to get savaged if you cannot prove otherwise. You also filled out the article on Gwyn- could you provide the references there please. ClemRutter 09:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

I noticed that you are making links to off-Wiki images such as these. It's not really a good idea to make inline links like that. I looked at a couple of the images and noticed that they are licensed in way that is compatible with Wikipedia. So what I suggest is that instead of linking to them try the following. Go to Wikimedia Commons, see Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons, and set up an account there. Then you can download images such as this or this and using the code (and this) they provide upload the images to the Commons. Then some of the images could be used right in the Wikipedia articles rather than linking to them. You can also a template like the one seen at Yellowknife#See also to show where the rest of the images can be seen. Just make sure that the images have a Creative Commons licence. If you need any help please let me know or ask User:Alison who is an administrator on Commons as well as here. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 20:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading
Image:Club18-30Logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a

orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Hello. Please don't use inappropriate edit summaries (such as "Category" when you editing The News Quiz recently) to introduce unsourced or other possibly controversial content. Your "left-wing bias" section addition to that article has been since removed by another editor. Please use more appropriate and descriptive edit summaries in future. Thanks. ~~ [ジャム][ t - c 09:52, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
A number of users above have commented on inappropriate link additions. I have removed the entire set of audio links on Symphony for Organ No. 5 (Widor), as spam - we do not need 7 audio recordings -- all linked to the classicalshop.net's download site.
Please do not reinstate these. It's a very famous piece, and I am sure free or non-pay exemplars exist for encyclopedic purposes.
Also you have had a large number of warnings and comments on these themes, dating back in some cases to 2007. Although anyone may edit Wikipedia, if you wish to edit you do need to heed comments left for you. Please re-read the comments on this page, and do not repeat, otherwise you may well be blocked for improper editing in future.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a
neutral point of view. A contribution you made to
Category:Nestlé brands appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our
core policies. Thank you.

Thank you for uploading File:Semta rgb strap.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

A tag has been placed on Unwins Seeds 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 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they

I've just reverted an edit of yours that claimed that Daring is "the first ship in the world with an all-electric ... power system i.e. it has no gearbox". I'm afraid BAE's publicity department is leading you into error! There have been ships with all-electric propulsion since at least the early part of the 20th century - for an example, see USS Langley (CV-1). Furthermore, the source given says that she is "the first front-line warship to use all-electric propulsion", which is not what the edit says, and is also demonstrably false.
I'd also suggest that the details of her propulsion system should go in Type 45 destroyer, rather than HMS Daring (D32), since they pertain to all the ships of the class. By the way, be aware of sweeping statements like "The ship also is the most fuel efficient in the Royal Navy, using around 35 cubic metres of fuel a day. As a comparison, its engines could provide enough electrical power for every house in Dundee. It could travel from Scotland to the Falklands and back without refuelling." HMS Scott, for example, uses about 20 cubic meters of fuel a day, displaces twice as much, and carries twice as much fuel, making her far more fuel-efficient and giving her a far greater range, whichever way you look at it.
I hope this help to clarify. Yours, Shem ( talk) 11:32, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Rachel Burden. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rachel Burden. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

DLE,
Looking at the page history, it seems that anonymous editors sometimes contribute useful information - for example, [3] [4]. At the same time, the vandalism is not overwhelmingly frequent. So despite the annoyance of reverting vandalism, it seems to me preferable to leave the page unprotected to all users. What do you think?

Hi! I noticed you added a lot of information to the Rolls-Royce Pegasus article, which is great! However, you didn't add any citations to the article. Can you please cite your additions? Also, I noticed that you reorganized the article some (new headings, etc.). When there is so little information under each heading, it is customary to leave it as longer prose paragraphs. As more information is added, you can break it into sections, but it looks a bit messy as it is now.

Hi, thanks for your message. I'm not planning on making articles for candidates. If any of the redlinks on election candidates get created, they will show up in the related changes (that's the reason - both MPs and candidates will be more at risk near the election).
