Thanks for the welcome and for the invitation to ask you for assistance.
I see you are based in Buckinghamshire. I spent a year in Passenham & often visited Buckingham. I will follow your link into the Buckinghamshire Portal.
I often come into Wikipedia from an online news story. One concern I have is that although these sources may be as valid as newspapers they are more transient. Have you seen any discussion on their acceptability as citation sources? The Citation page notes the quicker decay of online sources but what happens when the source is used and then disappears?

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
I've been in your footsteps, watching Jasond1 ( talk · contribs). Is he perhaps the Jason Davies running for City Council in Petaluma, CA, and if so, wouldn't his edits be mostly COI? His one edit on Google Fiber is legit and fine. But otherwise, he (or a fan of his) may be promoting his name. I was going to nom his username to be deleted, but I really am not familiar with this process. – Kerαunoςcopia◁ galaxies 02:33, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi. You took this to AfD, nobody came, and the closing admin's verdict was "soft delete but restore on demand as with a PROD". Undeletion has been requested, so I have restored it and am letting you know as I would with a contested PROD. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 18:03, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
There has been a major revision of the the
Service Awards: the edit requirements for the higher levels have been greatly reduced, to make them reasonably attainable.
Because of this, your Service Award level has been changed, and you are now eligible for a higher level. I have taken the liberty of updating your award on your user page.

Hello Roleplayer, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Mail robbery, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: It is not the same as Train robbery. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Reaper Eternal ( talk) 12:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Contest - I don't think I did anything wrong here... how can you call it vandalism when its a constructive article...

Seems the deletion was too fast for me to respond to. I can understand why but this is rather unfortunate, I was hoping people, or I later, could cite it and add evidence of it's notability. I'm not trained in Holacracy or anything but I've got some friends that are, and many more that are curious about it. I'm not sure where to find article writeups in the old media about it to cite, I checked Google News and came up blank, maybe that suggests it's not notable yet. May try again another time when I'm less busy. Thanks for sending me the notification. -- Lukestanley ( talk) 11:07, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I am just looking at reducing some of the areas where citations have been requested on the Buckinghamshire page, and one such area is where it states that Milton Keynes is part of Bucks for ceremonial purposes. I can find nothing on a google search that easily verifies that this is the case. Is anyone able to give me a good reference for MK being part of ceremonial Bucks? -- role player 13:36, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I'd written an article about a food blog in Belfast, using external references and with (what I thought was) an objective view of the blog.
I understand that entries about websites or blogs are frowned up, but in my note I had explained that this blog was one of the first (and, to be honest, it was the first) food blog from Northern Ireland - a place in which the culture, never mind food culture, has been retarded because of the recent violent history. It represents a big step forward because of this. I know that Northern Ireland is a small consideration in the grand scheme of things, but to us, it's important.
The blog has also run several events to promote local producers and helped publicise local business/charitable initiatives - and was nominated for the Irish Blog Awards in 2010 and 2011, getting shortlisted for the final in 2010.
Given all of this, I thought that the article about this blog would have passed the notability requirements?
I'd really appreciate your help in understanding where I went wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belfast-foodie ( talk • contribs) 08:27, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your guidance - I really appreciate it. In terms of the references, one of them (i.e. Food Belfast) is the food blog of The Anderstown News Group, one of the biggest media groups in Northern Ireland - is this an acceptable reference, given the fact that it's relevant to the sector and has a professional journalistic background/footing? I also have links from food and drink sector websites which promote some of the events that the blog helped to set-up to promote food culture - are these of any use? And for the Conflict of Interest, I've become a registered member and follower of the blog over the last 2 years - I'm certainly a fan of what they're trying to do, but I don't think that this means I'm unduly biased. I really appreciate your time with this Belfast-foodie ( talk) 12:49, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi, not disputing your recent cleanup at April Ashley, just wondering which sources were unreliable? Cheers. -- role player 16:51, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
I have declined your speedy deletion of Dope D.O.D.. The article stated that they opened for a major band on their European tour ([Limp Bizkit]]). That's a claim of importance sufficient to pass A7. However, they may still not be notable enough for an article, so feel free to take it to AfD. Qwyrxian ( talk) 10:33, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Cadsden, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Whiteleaf ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Darker Reflections by Richard Holmes mentions no such thing. It helps if you get the author's name right. Stop being a dick. -- role player 20:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Should have said Holmes (you got me excited). From page 14, "The Surgeon came, went back for Pipe & Syringe & returned & with extreme difficulty & the exertion of his utmost strength injected the latter. Good God!--What a sensation when the obstruction suddenly shot up!" Holmes quotes Coleridge himself, from his Notebooks, 2805. He goes on to say "The humiliation of this experience never left Coleridge." You may not like scatological reference, but this one is pertinent, important and true. --James Hercules Sutton 21:42, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Amar Kanwal 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 a person or group of people, 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.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. role player 23:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
