A tag has been placed on Dunlop Sport (Australia), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{
hangon}}
on the top of
Dunlop Sport (Australia) 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
citations from
reliable sources to ensure that the article will be
verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Nice work on this! What a difference a day makes to an article - I only fell over it because someone (ah, I see it was you!) had added a link as a "See also" on Long-distance footpaths in the United Kingdom which is on my Watchlist. PamD ( talk) 00:00, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Splendid lady! How long did she take, do you know? I'm glad you didn't find the gent from Somerset too trivial, I thought it rather fun when I fell over it on BBC news website today. PamD ( talk) 19:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I've responded to your comments. Thanks! Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:04, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
The BBC article suggests he did it all for free, and there is such a scheme in Scotland, even if he would not normally qualify for it, hence I think I'm good. There does appear to have been some special permission granted here, presumably dispensation for him to use the Scottish scheme, but the BBC doesn't make the precise details clear. By the way, if your edit listing the price of a journey by public transport was achieved by tapping destinations and arbitrary dates into search forms on a travel site, you've breached WP:OR. Deiz talk 22:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Your proposed solution to the problem is reasonable. I didn't correct the old links immediately myself in case someone had a better idea for what to name the original article, though I did include a crossref so that people wouldn't be lost. Caerwine Caer’s whines 19:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
The article was deleted due to an expired PROD tag. The reason the article was tagged was "No evidence this is a "notable" journey". Since you've contested the deletion, although a bit late, I've went ahead and restored the article. - Rjd0060 ( talk) 23:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I see you're new to Wikipedia - welcome, and doubly so for dipping your toe in AfD waters. We need more contributors, so I'm delighted you're joining in.
The argument you've presented is one that is commonly offered by people new to AfD and it's delightfully nicknamed " WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS". What you're essentially arguing is that other articles should be deleted, not that this one should be kept. For this one to be kept, it needs to be verifiable, not just a company as good as other companies that have articles.
There's a neat little piece worth reading at Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion debates. Check it out.
NB Edwards coaches may well be worth keeping - I'm just pointing out that this particular argument is a flawed one.
Cheers! -- Dweller ( talk) 14:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Having seen your recent contributions to the Orientalist & Iranologist categories, including Ann Lambton (whose rather forbidding grammar I used many years ago), I wondered whether you were thinking of getting round to Turkish studies. If so, you will certainly want to include my former teacher Geoffrey Lewis Lewis, who died earlier this year.
Keep up the good work. All the best. -- NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 21:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks - I also used Ann Lambton's grammar, many years ago. Her death the other day prompted me to look at entries for some of my old teachers, hence my recent activity. You're right that Turkish studies needs attention too, I might have a go. Mhockey ( talk) 21:32, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for adding some links to Laudian Professor of Arabic. I didn't previously know that that page existed, but have now added some more relevant links. However, the names
both just link to disambiguation pages, where the right people don't seem to be represented. Also, my information is that D. S. Margoliouth took the post in 1889, while you have 1899. What was your source? SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 22:15, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I see that you undid my categorization of Category:Historians of Hungary, citing WP:SUBCAT as the reason, but I'm not sure what part of that guideline you think applies here. Why shouldn't this category be listed in Category:Historians by field of study? – SJL 15:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I did not intend the word "Unhelpfully" as a personal attack. I meant that it did not help readers to follow the debate to which I had directed them if part of it was deleted. I agree that the comment (not mine) deleted on your talk page did not concern redirection - it appears to be about a revert war on a similar article. Mhockey ( talk) 13:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I posted it at the Pump because it did not sit well to be accused at the Pump of making a personal attack, which was in no way intended. I assume good faith on the part of other editors, as I assume you do. Mhockey ( talk) 14:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Mhockey -
I noticed your recent sub-categorization of private equity firms. I personally do not think that sub-categorization by country is necessarily a path that should be pursued. While the list has grown, often these firms are global or transnational and making distinctions based on country does not aid a reader's experience. I would like to discuss before reverting and would like to get your input. While dual listing in the parent and sub categories is not typically condoned this might be appropriate if you want to pursue a UK category.
|► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 00:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I understand what you are saying - private equity is an international business, although individual firms are probably not as international as they like to think. I did it for three reasons:
1. Consistency with other categories of financial service companies, e.g Category:Investment management companies, where companies such as Fidelity, LeggMason and Franklin Templeton have substantial UK operations, but are categorised as US (I think rightly).
2. List of private equity firms lists headquarters of each PE firm
3. There is already one "country" category, Category:Private equity companies of Norway
I think the test is this: can you say that x firm is an American firm, or a British firm? That is likely be determined by where policy and management decisions are made, i.e. "headquarters", not where investments are made. I think in most cases you can, although there are some cases, e.g. CVC Capital Partners, where you possibly cannot.
I would contrast this with the international accounting firms, which have different structures (different firms, different ownership, same name) - although I see that PricewaterhouseCoopers is categorised as both a US and a UK firm. Mhockey ( talk) 08:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Good work, it looks like we both had the same idea, to improve the article in the face of someone determined to have it deleted. Your edit got in first, so I faced an "edit conflict". I don't feel like going through it yet again tonight, so I've dumped what I wrote here: User:JRawle/HSIC. It's not as well referenced as yours, but please feel free to include any information from there that you see fit! Regards, JRawle ( Talk) 23:13, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I think that perhaps Raleigh Park should redirct to Raleigh Park, Oxfordshire rather the the Nottingham halls of residece article. Do you agree? Million_Moments ( talk) 06:15, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
A bit late now, but just a quick note to say thanks for your recent edits expanding some of the Green Line Coaches and related articles, especially the history sections - which needed to be expanded, as I didn't know anything about that! Once again, thanks! Arriva436 talk/ contribs 22:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Just so you know, it's spelled Spitsbergen, not Spitzbergen. It was discovered by the Dutch, not the Germans, who use the z spelling. You can thus only use the z-spelling in German, while you use the s-spelling in English, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, etc. Jonas Poole ( talk) 04:08, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I saw your last edit in Wakhan, where you changed the language saying Persian is more relevant, as Persian/Tajik is not spoken in the area. And both Tajik (already included) and Persian (you wanted to include) are actually the same language. 119.152.247.39 ( talk) 12:04, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, don't give another thought to my pedantic "redirect" corrections. Someone has taught me that it is better to have a piped link targeted directly to the right article rather than a link that generates an automatic redirect. That's why I changed [[Gorno-Badakhshan]] (a redirect) to [[Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province|Gorno-Badakhshan]] (a direct pipe). This is just pedantic nonsense. Your original correction (eliminating a piped link that leads to a redirect) was the important change. Please don't take offense. -- Zlerman ( talk) 16:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi - I've noticed you making a lot of useful edits up-Thames, but was I particularly glad to see your spin-offs from the Severn and Trent. Good stuff Regards Motmit ( talk) 09:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Respectfully, you did not give a reason (definition) as to how the site is not official.
I did not lightly raise the status to "offical" because the site is referred to from the Stroud government site, an official recommendation, and the site is based upon the book The Severn Bore who's author and book are cited in a footnote on the website.
That ought to be sufficient qualification per all of the "strict"(none) requirements as found in the template " official". WurmWoode T 06:26, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
I see you've created Category:Places formerly in Cheshire. I don't know if you already know, but a similar category, Category:Places formerly in Lancashire, was recently deleted at CFD.

Hi - I see you reverted my edit to the above category. As Category:National Trails of the United States is a child category of Category:Hiking trails in the United States, Category:National Scenic Trails of the United States should not be included in Category:Hiking trails in the United States. Gjs238 ( talk) 11:04, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I wasn't deliberately reverting you, I thought I had forgotten to add the cat. My rationale is that National Historic Trails - a large category of National Trails - are mostly not hiking trails, so I do not think Category:National Trails of the United States should be a child category of Category:Hiking trails in the United States. I agree that National Recreation Trail should not be in Category:Hiking trails in the United States, but I think both Category:National Recreation Trails of the United States and Category:National Scenic Trails of the United States should be. Mhockey ( talk) 11:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Category:National Recreation Trails of the United States now put in Category:Hiking trails in the United States, and Category:National Trails of the United States removed from that category.-- Mhockey ( talk) 10:13, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I see you've removed Category:Walking from Walking (film). It is an Oscar-nominated film about the way people walk and I believe it may be of interest to people looking exploring the Walking category. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 01:29, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
I'd never heard this word until spotting the category Category:Bridleroutes in the United Kingdom added to a page on my watchlist. I looked at it to see if it was a typo (or Americanism!) for "Bridleway" and see it's "for routes in the National Bridleroute Network of the British Horse Society.", but the British Horse Society article doesn't mention them except in a link to the category! Could you please add some info somewhere in WP to tell us about these entities or this neologism? Thanks. PamD ( talk) 19:08, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I think your question is a bit hypothetical - surely if there were any other long horse trails in the UK the BHS would include them in their network? Your message actually caught me when I was editing Bridle path myself, to expand it using material from the rights of way articles. I went ahead wih my edit, and I was also going to change the redirect of Bridleway to Bridle path. Seems a bit UK-centric (or even England-centric) to redirect it to Rights of way in England and Wales.-- Mhockey ( talk) 19:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
The other day you submitted a false positive report because you found yourself unable to edit someone's talk page. If you have not already seen, it was due to an accident in the code of a particular edit filter which was quickly fixed by the MediaWiki software itself. The code has been reverted to the last good version and this should not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however; if people hadn't reported it we wouldn't have known there was a problem. I have removed the false positive reports as I felt it was easier to just go to the people who submitted them directly. — Soap — 23:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I am happy to see the article on Little Pamir finally created. I hope the article will grow further. A map should be easy, but there will hopefully emerge some photographs also along the way to illustrate the article. I'm not sure you have seen it, but there was a documentary in a TV series which I believe was called Trailblazers, I think I saw it on Discovery Channel around 2000-2002, which featured a trek to Little Pamir. I have attempted to find some info about the program online, but I have been unable to do so. The series was quite comparable to Lonely Planet I remember. I was just wondering if you have seen it and could point towards where to find it. I was utterly fascinated by it and Little Pamir has ever since been thoroughly imprinted in my soul as a place of great wonder that I would really like to visit some time, even if not in this lifetime. __ meco ( talk) 22:39, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I can see that you are trying to tidy up this cat- good luck, but do be careful the geography of the towns is such that few can say where one starts and the other ends, and some things are best left alone. For instance the Royal Engineers have been based at Chatham for 400 years. Some of their barracks were built in the village of Upper Brompton, on the Chatham Lines. Some local government act created a new borough between the hamlet of Gillingham Green and the new station at New Brompton, Upper Brompton was included. So the the Engineers were based in Chatham yet the museum is in Gillingham. And the boundaries will change before the next election so some wards will also change their names.

Could I ask that you go through the changes you made to the pages which linked to Category:Pompeii - you have inadvertently linked individuals from the Roman gens Pompeii to the ancient city of Pompeii, but the family has no relationship to the city. Could you please revise those pages of individuals named Pompeius (eg Gnaeus Pompeius (consul 31 BC), and link them to the Category:Pompeii (gens)?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Beckwith, North Yorkshire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Beckwith (surname). 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.

Dear M Hockey, I am sorry to tell you much if not all of your information has been gathered from bad resources. The statement about 1899 is quite wrong. I will sort this whole article out in conjunction with you but not now. Eddaido ( talk) 22:44, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Mike Ashley??? No - he is a very late arrival in the long and complicated Dunlop story. I first created Dunlop Rubber in March 2008, because the article on Dunlop Tyres was not the appropriate place to show the full history. I also created the Dunlop (brands) article because the history of the brands had become so complex. At the same time I expanded the Ansell article to include the early history of Dunlop Australia, and in 2011 I rescued that article from speedy deletion. The history of the companies using the Dunlop brand is very complicated and not just the story of one multinational company.

Hi! Thanks for posting on my talk page. It can get difficult to communicate by edit summaries sometimes. I think you are misunderstanding my concern with the explanation of your original edit, but maybe I also am not proposing the right solution, and in any case of course it is not an extremely important point. I will therefore post a longer explanation on the article talk page. That way others can comment and we can make sure we are not just misunderstanding each other based on quick readings of edit comments. Also then the reasoning will be recorded for future editors.-- Andrew Lancaster ( talk) 09:24, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

I presume you have heard about The West Country Challenge?
The The West Country Challenge will take place from 8 to 28 August 2016. The idea is to create and improve articles about Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
The format will be based on Wales's successful Awaken the Dragon which saw over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.
Work on any of the items at:
or other articles relating to the area.
There will be sub contests focusing on particular areas:

The article Palm Beach Railway and Power Company has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Cannot find any mention of this company outside of this article. Company was supposedly incorporated under Florida statute chapter 4265, but, as of 2018, the highest chapter number in the Florida statutes is 1013. This article may be a hoax. The creator of the article has not edited in more than 11 years, so I cannot ask for their comments.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. -

When we have 2 places with the same name in a district and 1 is a separate CP and 1 isn't such as Newbiggin, Dacre/ Newbiggin, Kirkby Thore disambiguating the 1st one is normally straightforward in that it gets the CP disambiguator but the 2nd one is generally more complicated, in this case we have used the ward for the 2nd one. In the case of Gosport there is the town south of Fareham, the town is also a district in its own right while the hamlet in Test Valley isn't, in other words similar to Newport in Gwent (being a separate principal area) district disambiguation isn't possible though I suppose Gosport, Borough of Gosport could be used. Compass direction disambiguation namely Gosport, south Hampshire probably wouldn't be appropriate since the Test Valley one is probably also in south Hampshire as well however the BUA is South Hampshire [12] so perhaps Gosport, South Hampshire (capital "S") could be used but like Huish, North Devon District I'd probably not rely on capitalization with disambiguation. I don't think the town needs disambiguation but if it did and we decided it also needed to be disambiguated from the Test Valley one what title would you use?

I've created a draft at Draft:Thorpe Underwood, North Yorkshire. Do you think that the plural form "Thorpe Underwood" is simply an alternative name for the settlement meaning only 1 article is needed for settlement and parish? With Vernham Dean/ Vernhams Dean that appears to be the case even though Vernham Street is in the parish. With Glenfield/ Glenfields the plural parish was formed from the former singular as well as Anstey Pastures, Glenfield Frith, Kirby Frith, Leicester Frith and New Parks.

Regarding Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 April 30#Greater Manchester Metropolitan Boroughs and if they should be split and what the name should be I'd point out that the requirements to have a category are much higher than the requirements to have an article, we probably have articles on tens thousands of settlements in England but only around 1,500 have categories (the majority created by me) so I would say the existence of separate articles for settlement and district doesn't necessarily mean we need separate categories but in those cases it is probably appropriate. User:Crouch, Swale/Districts#Districts named after towns/cities lists those that are separate and those that aren't. Regarding Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 September 10#Metropolitan boroughs it does seem like for unitary authorities with borough status and metropolitan boroughs the OS does sometimes use "Borough" [14] (click Try a wider place search) [15] but otherwise it uses just "X" with "X District" as an alternative [16]. Most other sources appear to use "X District" [17] [18] [19] (the map shows "Harrogate District" and "Hambleton District" but just "York"). What is you're view on moving all non-metropolitan districts needing disambiguation to "X District"? Like you said this may make sorting/finding them easier. User:Crouch, Swale/X District lists the status of such titles. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 17:30, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Dunlop Sport (Australia), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{
hangon}}
on the top of
Dunlop Sport (Australia) 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
citations from
reliable sources to ensure that the article will be
verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

The BBC article suggests he did it all for free, and there is such a scheme in Scotland, even if he would not normally qualify for it, hence I think I'm good. There does appear to have been some special permission granted here, presumably dispensation for him to use the Scottish scheme, but the BBC doesn't make the precise details clear. By the way, if your edit listing the price of a journey by public transport was achieved by tapping destinations and arbitrary dates into search forms on a travel site, you've breached WP:OR. Deiz talk 22:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Your proposed solution to the problem is reasonable. I didn't correct the old links immediately myself in case someone had a better idea for what to name the original article, though I did include a crossref so that people wouldn't be lost. Caerwine Caer’s whines 19:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
The article was deleted due to an expired PROD tag. The reason the article was tagged was "No evidence this is a "notable" journey". Since you've contested the deletion, although a bit late, I've went ahead and restored the article. - Rjd0060 ( talk) 23:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I see you're new to Wikipedia - welcome, and doubly so for dipping your toe in AfD waters. We need more contributors, so I'm delighted you're joining in.
The argument you've presented is one that is commonly offered by people new to AfD and it's delightfully nicknamed " WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS". What you're essentially arguing is that other articles should be deleted, not that this one should be kept. For this one to be kept, it needs to be verifiable, not just a company as good as other companies that have articles.
There's a neat little piece worth reading at Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion debates. Check it out.
NB Edwards coaches may well be worth keeping - I'm just pointing out that this particular argument is a flawed one.
Cheers! -- Dweller ( talk) 14:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Having seen your recent contributions to the Orientalist & Iranologist categories, including Ann Lambton (whose rather forbidding grammar I used many years ago), I wondered whether you were thinking of getting round to Turkish studies. If so, you will certainly want to include my former teacher Geoffrey Lewis Lewis, who died earlier this year.
Keep up the good work. All the best. -- NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 21:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks - I also used Ann Lambton's grammar, many years ago. Her death the other day prompted me to look at entries for some of my old teachers, hence my recent activity. You're right that Turkish studies needs attention too, I might have a go. Mhockey ( talk) 21:32, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for adding some links to Laudian Professor of Arabic. I didn't previously know that that page existed, but have now added some more relevant links. However, the names

Hello. I see that you undid my categorization of Category:Historians of Hungary, citing WP:SUBCAT as the reason, but I'm not sure what part of that guideline you think applies here. Why shouldn't this category be listed in Category:Historians by field of study? – SJL 15:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I did not intend the word "Unhelpfully" as a personal attack. I meant that it did not help readers to follow the debate to which I had directed them if part of it was deleted. I agree that the comment (not mine) deleted on your talk page did not concern redirection - it appears to be about a revert war on a similar article. Mhockey ( talk) 13:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I posted it at the Pump because it did not sit well to be accused at the Pump of making a personal attack, which was in no way intended. I assume good faith on the part of other editors, as I assume you do. Mhockey ( talk) 14:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Mhockey -
I noticed your recent sub-categorization of private equity firms. I personally do not think that sub-categorization by country is necessarily a path that should be pursued. While the list has grown, often these firms are global or transnational and making distinctions based on country does not aid a reader's experience. I would like to discuss before reverting and would like to get your input. While dual listing in the parent and sub categories is not typically condoned this might be appropriate if you want to pursue a UK category.
|► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 00:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I understand what you are saying - private equity is an international business, although individual firms are probably not as international as they like to think. I did it for three reasons:
1. Consistency with other categories of financial service companies, e.g Category:Investment management companies, where companies such as Fidelity, LeggMason and Franklin Templeton have substantial UK operations, but are categorised as US (I think rightly).
2. List of private equity firms lists headquarters of each PE firm
3. There is already one "country" category, Category:Private equity companies of Norway
I think the test is this: can you say that x firm is an American firm, or a British firm? That is likely be determined by where policy and management decisions are made, i.e. "headquarters", not where investments are made. I think in most cases you can, although there are some cases, e.g. CVC Capital Partners, where you possibly cannot.
I would contrast this with the international accounting firms, which have different structures (different firms, different ownership, same name) - although I see that PricewaterhouseCoopers is categorised as both a US and a UK firm. Mhockey ( talk) 08:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Good work, it looks like we both had the same idea, to improve the article in the face of someone determined to have it deleted. Your edit got in first, so I faced an "edit conflict". I don't feel like going through it yet again tonight, so I've dumped what I wrote here: User:JRawle/HSIC. It's not as well referenced as yours, but please feel free to include any information from there that you see fit! Regards, JRawle ( Talk) 23:13, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Just so you know, it's spelled Spitsbergen, not Spitzbergen. It was discovered by the Dutch, not the Germans, who use the z spelling. You can thus only use the z-spelling in German, while you use the s-spelling in English, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, etc. Jonas Poole ( talk) 04:08, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I saw your last edit in Wakhan, where you changed the language saying Persian is more relevant, as Persian/Tajik is not spoken in the area. And both Tajik (already included) and Persian (you wanted to include) are actually the same language. 119.152.247.39 ( talk) 12:04, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, don't give another thought to my pedantic "redirect" corrections. Someone has taught me that it is better to have a piped link targeted directly to the right article rather than a link that generates an automatic redirect. That's why I changed [[Gorno-Badakhshan]] (a redirect) to [[Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province|Gorno-Badakhshan]] (a direct pipe). This is just pedantic nonsense. Your original correction (eliminating a piped link that leads to a redirect) was the important change. Please don't take offense. -- Zlerman ( talk) 16:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Respectfully, you did not give a reason (definition) as to how the site is not official.
I did not lightly raise the status to "offical" because the site is referred to from the Stroud government site, an official recommendation, and the site is based upon the book The Severn Bore who's author and book are cited in a footnote on the website.
That ought to be sufficient qualification per all of the "strict"(none) requirements as found in the template " official". WurmWoode T 06:26, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi - I see you reverted my edit to the above category. As Category:National Trails of the United States is a child category of Category:Hiking trails in the United States, Category:National Scenic Trails of the United States should not be included in Category:Hiking trails in the United States. Gjs238 ( talk) 11:04, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I wasn't deliberately reverting you, I thought I had forgotten to add the cat. My rationale is that National Historic Trails - a large category of National Trails - are mostly not hiking trails, so I do not think Category:National Trails of the United States should be a child category of Category:Hiking trails in the United States. I agree that National Recreation Trail should not be in Category:Hiking trails in the United States, but I think both Category:National Recreation Trails of the United States and Category:National Scenic Trails of the United States should be. Mhockey ( talk) 11:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

I'd never heard this word until spotting the category Category:Bridleroutes in the United Kingdom added to a page on my watchlist. I looked at it to see if it was a typo (or Americanism!) for "Bridleway" and see it's "for routes in the National Bridleroute Network of the British Horse Society.", but the British Horse Society article doesn't mention them except in a link to the category! Could you please add some info somewhere in WP to tell us about these entities or this neologism? Thanks. PamD ( talk) 19:08, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I think your question is a bit hypothetical - surely if there were any other long horse trails in the UK the BHS would include them in their network? Your message actually caught me when I was editing Bridle path myself, to expand it using material from the rights of way articles. I went ahead wih my edit, and I was also going to change the redirect of Bridleway to Bridle path. Seems a bit UK-centric (or even England-centric) to redirect it to Rights of way in England and Wales.-- Mhockey ( talk) 19:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
The other day you submitted a false positive report because you found yourself unable to edit someone's talk page. If you have not already seen, it was due to an accident in the code of a particular edit filter which was quickly fixed by the MediaWiki software itself. The code has been reverted to the last good version and this should not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however; if people hadn't reported it we wouldn't have known there was a problem.

I am happy to see the article on Little Pamir finally created. I hope the article will grow further. A map should be easy, but there will hopefully emerge some photographs also along the way to illustrate the article. I'm not sure you have seen it, but there was a documentary in a TV series which I believe was called Trailblazers, I think I saw it on Discovery Channel around 2000-2002, which featured a trek to Little Pamir. I have attempted to find some info about the program online, but I have been unable to do so. The series was quite comparable to Lonely Planet I remember. I was just wondering if you have seen it and could point towards where to find it. I was utterly fascinated by it and Little Pamir has ever since been thoroughly imprinted in my soul as a place of great wonder that I would really like to visit some time, even if not in this lifetime. __ meco ( talk) 22:39, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I can see that you are trying to tidy up this cat- good luck, but do be careful the geography of the towns is such that few can say where one starts and the other ends, and some things are best left alone. For instance the Royal Engineers have been based at Chatham for 400 years. Some of their barracks were built in the village of Upper Brompton, on the Chatham Lines. Some local government act created a new borough between the hamlet of Gillingham Green and the new station at New Brompton, Upper Brompton was included. So the the Engineers were based in Chatham yet the museum is in Gillingham. And the boundaries will change before the next election so some wards will also change their names. Step carefully.-- ClemRutter ( talk) 19:49, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Beckwith, North Yorkshire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Beckwith (surname).

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, you are welcome to

Mike Ashley??? No - he is a very late arrival in the long and complicated Dunlop story. I first created Dunlop Rubber in March 2008, because the article on Dunlop Tyres was not the appropriate place to show the full history. I also created the Dunlop (brands) article because the history of the brands had become so complex. At the same time I expanded the Ansell article to include the early history of Dunlop Australia, and in 2011 I rescued that article from speedy deletion. The history of the companies using the Dunlop brand is very complicated and not just the story of one multinational company.

Hi! Thanks for posting on my talk page. It can get difficult to communicate by edit summaries sometimes. I think you are misunderstanding my concern with the explanation of your original edit, but maybe I also am not proposing the right solution, and in any case of course it is not an extremely important point. I will therefore post a longer explanation on the article talk page. That way others can comment and we can make sure we are not just misunderstanding each other based on quick readings of edit comments. Also then the reasoning will be recorded for future editors.-- Andrew Lancaster ( talk) 09:24, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

I presume you have heard about The West Country Challenge?
The The West Country Challenge will take place from 8 to 28 August 2016. The idea is to create and improve articles about Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
The format will be based on Wales's successful Awaken the Dragon which saw over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.
Work on any of the items at:
or other articles relating to the area.
There will be sub contests focusing on particular areas:

The article Palm Beach Railway and Power Company has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Cannot find any mention of this company outside of this article. Company was supposedly incorporated under Florida statute chapter 4265, but, as of 2018, the highest chapter number in the Florida statutes is 1013. This article may be a hoax. The creator of the article has not edited in more than 11 years, so I cannot ask for their comments.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. -

When we have 2 places with the same name in a district and 1 is a separate CP and 1 isn't such as Newbiggin, Dacre/ Newbiggin, Kirkby Thore disambiguating the 1st one is normally straightforward in that it gets the CP disambiguator but the 2nd one is generally more complicated, in this case we have used the ward for the 2nd one. In the case of Gosport there is the town south of Fareham, the town is also a district in its own right while the hamlet in Test Valley isn't, in other words similar to Newport in Gwent (being a separate principal area) district disambiguation isn't possible though I suppose Gosport, Borough of Gosport could be used. Compass direction disambiguation namely Gosport, south Hampshire probably wouldn't be appropriate since the Test Valley one is probably also in south Hampshire as well however the BUA is South Hampshire [12] so perhaps Gosport, South Hampshire (capital "S") could be used but like Huish, North Devon District I'd probably not rely on capitalization with disambiguation. I don't think the town needs disambiguation but if it did and we decided it also needed to be disambiguated from the Test Valley one what title would you use?

With Glenfield/ Glenfields the plural parish was formed from the former singular as well as Anstey Pastures, Glenfield Frith, Kirby Frith, Leicester Frith and New Parks.

I'm wandering if you have any knowledge on the following missing(?) parishes on my list?

Regarding Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 April 30#Greater Manchester Metropolitan Boroughs and if they should be split and what the name should be I'd point out that the requirements to have a category are much higher than the requirements to have an article, we probably have articles on tens thousands of settlements in England but only around 1,500 have categories (the majority created by me) so I would say the existence of separate articles for settlement and district doesn't necessarily mean we need separate categories but in those cases it is probably appropriate. User:Crouch, Swale/Districts#Districts named after towns/cities lists those that are separate and those that aren't. Regarding Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 September 10#Metropolitan boroughs it does seem like for unitary authorities with borough status and metropolitan boroughs the OS does sometimes use "Borough" [14] (click Try a wider place search) [15] but otherwise it uses just "X" with "X District" as an alternative [16]. Most other sources appear to use "X District" [17] [18] [19] (the map shows "Harrogate District" and "Hambleton District" but just "York"). What is you're view on moving all non-metropolitan districts needing disambiguation to "X District"? Like you said this may make sorting/finding them easier. User:Crouch, Swale/X District lists the status of such titles. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 17:30, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Shouldn't the City of York article link to both City of York (disambiguation) and York (disambiguation) as there are other divisions called "City of York" [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] even though Lsjbot doesn't appear to consider them significant it seems reasonable though unlikely someone could be looking for one of the others which are only on the "York" DAB page.

I have added most recent population date and date of abolition to all former parishes in England with the exception of those that are now unparished areas. I's also note I missed Compton Greenfield out as it seems the parish didn't include the village. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 22:57, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
