Hi Ritchie. I see that you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laureate Group of Schools and Colleges (2nd nomination) as no consensus. I am minded to challenge this outcome, because the editors who expressed keep opinions failed to address the concern that no independent sources could be found to verify the existence of the subject, and I think this should have been taken into account when assessing consensus. For some similar recent cases, you might like to see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Quaid School, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ace School System (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Makkah Model School System - MMS Feroze wattwan (2nd nomination).

The school has been affiliated with Cambridge University of London.? And, I agree that all the photographs over here are blatantly photoshopped! Winged Blades Godric 16:03, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
@ Cordless Larry: (and everyone else) - I have reopened the AfD as there is clearly additional information and insights (not least the potential for this to be a hoax) that warrant investigation. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:46, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
I found a source to state that Pink Floyd's 1972 album "Obscured by Clouds" was specifically mixed at Morgan Sound Studios, since the source cited for the recording sessions occurring at Chateau d'Herouville, as famously used by Elton John for his album "Honky Chateau" as well as Joan Armatrading, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, The Grateful Dead and Rick Wakeman to name just a few, but it keeps being reverted for some reasons when I did provide a reliable source from a book written by Glenn Povey that definitely says that the album was mixed at Morgan, thus verifying the mixed at Morgan claim.
Furthermore, albums mixed or overdubbed at certain studios (e.g. Abbey Road, Trident, Sunset Sound, Capitol) have been listed in those categories.

Hello. You deleted
Sir Tim Hunt controversy at WCSJ speedily. I once separated this section from the actual
Tim Hunt article which seemed to be dominated by the incident at WCSJ. The article was edited by many others and I don't think it is a copyright infringement of www.jaymaron.com/badass.html, a website that I have never seen before, and where I cannot find any reference to Sir Tim Hunt whatsoever. Maybe it's the other way round and Jaymaron.badass copied some text from Wikipedia?
Actually I am okay with the nomination since this bizarre controversy attracted far too much attention which should have gone to the scientific achievements of a Nobel Prizer winner, but I am sure you agree with me that deletion should be on proper grounds.

Hi Richie -- I made some hatnotes about Heuston and Euston, and notice you reverted an edit of mine with the comment "who is going to get confused with something spelled and pronounced differently?" The answer is: non-native speakers that I met, at Heuston, a group which is often confused about how to pronounce initial H and the many similar sounding eu/ou/oo/u spellings. I still think it's helpful: would you object if I put it back?

As someone who's worked in and around Euston for many years (on and off) I can tell you that the main confusion tourists have is between Euston and [the nearby] Euston Square. I've never encountered any confusion with a place in another country altogether but if we're going to go down this route, I suggest a hat-note for Houston too. And probably Whitney. -- Dweller ( talk) Become old fashioned! 13:32, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
I'm confused and I think I was talking at cross purposes, I thought you were suggesting Heuston was an alternative spelling for Euston. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:48, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Following these comments: I put the edit back and also added Euston Square tube per Dweller's comment. Richie if I misunderstood you as not disagreeing my apologies and please edit. Regards, Jonathan. 82.69.229.22 ( talk) 14:23, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

I understand if there isn't a work around to this issue, but is it possible for the page to be recovered so that i can retain/save a copy of the edit source? I put well over 10 hours into the page and I'd be very disheartened if it all disappeared.

Alex Shih ( talk) 00:03, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
(Udon Thani, 08:00 am, Thursday): I went to Everymorning's AN proposal this morning in order to add a comment to a recent user !vote and I was astounded to see it already closed. The discussion was only allowed to run for just over 48 hours, ignoring other users' time zones that could be as much as 12 hours or more outside yours. Even Alex Shih lives in Japan not to mention those like Bduke who might live in Australia or NZ. This was a discussing in which the vast majority of users are well established and well known editors; it wasn't comparable to an ANI-style kangaroo court typipically run by the peanut gallery.
Having been the most vocal proponent for clean up of RfA for years, I was obviously a vociferous supporter of the motion at the AN. You are also one of the editors most actively concerned the lack of successful RfAs, and working closely with other admins such as, for example, MelanieN to find suitable adminship candidates - and you wonder why we're not getting any? Piniging TonyBallioni, BU Rob13, Miniapolis, and Boing! said Zebedee - who might not share my opinion but their balanced comment might be welcome here. One thing is almost sure, if the AN case has not been sufficient to finally encourage Andrew to clean his act up, there will be another, and more convincing request for a topic ban. For those who can remember it, I voted to disband WP:RFC/U a few years ago - something that I'm perhgaps regretting now. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 00:54, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
The opposers were mainly defending the right for anyone to vote on RfAis a good summary of the oppposer's broad stance and since they were in the majority, obviously, the topic ban wasn't coming.But, at the same time, your closure could have been a lot better.Something along Boing's or Ad's preferred closing stance rather than
otherwise he is likely to continue finding his votes being at best ignored and at worst yelled atwould have been good enough. Winged Blades Godric 04:38, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Your are right on about that.
Question: "What is the bigger problem in Wikipedia, ignorance or apathy?" Answer: "I don't know and I don't care."

I've done that previously with user "serial number <some number>". Not from an RfA or ORCP point of view, but I was wondering to get a peer review in general.

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:
NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni ( talk) 20:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

On 2 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Line the Label, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that so many people wanted a Line the Label jacket that the company's server crashed? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Line the Label. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Line the Label), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

(Udon Thani, 08:00 am, Thursday): I went to Everymorning's AN proposal this morning in order to add a comment to a recent user !vote and I was astounded to see it already closed. The discussion was only allowed to run for just over 48 hours, ignoring other users' time zones that could be as much as 12 hours or more outside yours. Even Alex Shih lives in Japan not to mention those like Bduke who might live in Australia or NZ. This was a discussing in which the vast majority of users are well established and well known editors; it wasn't comparable to an ANI-style kangaroo court typipically run by the peanut gallery.
Having been the most vocal proponent for clean up of RfA for years, I was obviously a vociferous supporter of the motion at the AN. You are also one of the editors most actively concerned the lack of successful RfAs, and working closely with other admins such as, for example, MelanieN to find suitable adminship candidates - and you wonder why we're not getting any? Piniging TonyBallioni, BU Rob13, Miniapolis, and Boing! said Zebedee - who might not share my opinion but their balanced comment might be welcome here. One thing is almost sure, if the AN case has not been sufficient to finally encourage Andrew to clean his act up, there will be another, and more convincing request for a topic ban. For those who can remember it, I voted to disband WP:RFC/U a few years ago - something that I'm perhgaps regretting now. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 00:54, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
The opposers were mainly defending the right for anyone to vote on RfAis a good summary of the oppposer's broad stance and since they were in the majority, obviously, the topic ban wasn't coming.But, at the same time, your closure could have been a lot better.Something along Boing's or Ad's preferred closing stance rather than
otherwise he is likely to continue finding his votes being at best ignored and at worst yelled atwould have been good enough. Winged Blades Godric 04:38, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Your are right on about that.
Question: "What is the bigger problem in Wikipedia, ignorance or apathy?" Answer: "I don't know and I don't care."

I've done that previously with user "serial number <some number>". Not from an RfA or ORCP point of view, but I was wondering to get a peer review in general. Pinging Lex, I think he might like to do this. I do not want to run for RfA, but I want to know where I stand as an editor, and what should I do to improve my contributions. Would you be kind enough to do that? —usernamekiran (talk) 17:32, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
I wasn't aware that Norwich station (Thorpe) was highly regarded architecturally. While working in the city I heard a manager tell a joke that involved a long list of different varieties of grass (it's an agricultural community). I just remember the last few words of the punchline -
"... Alfalfa, Diss, and all stations to Liverpool Street." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.93.179 ( talk) 09:24, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure they're here to push an agenda, and not to improve the project. I see you've already encountered some of their drama, which is why I'm asking you. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 13:40, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
On 4 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Acle Straight, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a pub on the Acle Straight is now a Hindu temple? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Acle Straight. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Acle Straight), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hey there! Since you're listed at Wikipedia:Good Article help/mentor, would you mind giving the article Nosedive a once-over to check that it's ready to be promoted? I think that it's quite close if not already there. Talk:Nosedive/GA1 is my first GA review – I'm not sure if I've done everything I need to. Thanks!

Hi - I saw you declined my speedy nom for Street times. Just wondered why {{ Db-inc}} does not apply? It was my belief that any company, print media or otherwise, is covered by this. -- Drm310 🍁 ( talk) 16:50, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
If you believe I'm not as fimiliar as you with the insides of recording studios, you wouldn't want to bet on it ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 07:00, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
