In March 2010, you have closed the AFD ( HERE) of the Miss Globe International article, however, the new owner of the pageant, Rasim Aydin and his staff continue to edit the article and insert promotional materials and provide a list of people which impacts upon BLP considerations. The content of the article has been challenged many times. On March 16, 2010, you had removed the contentious list of people from the article and you cited that none of the people should be replaced in the article until there is a reliable source for them. I think the article has to be reverted from the point of your previous edit.-- Angel Clinton ( talk) 23:02, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, I was wondering if you could comment on this situation here [3] regarding this edit [4]. To me, the additions are off-topic as they have no bearing on Alexander's personality, nor does the source he uses tie the Persepolis incident to Alexander's personality. I think it's just a case of gratuitous use of language such as "Savage orgy" for its own sake. The edit summary he uses also doesn't inspire confidence (whenever I see claims of "censorship" I cringe). Athenean ( talk) 21:40, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Here. But it's not really about you. Still, feel free to join in. -- Kleopatra ( talk) 05:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Yes folks, it's here again. Please look at this link [5] and leave your vote. I thank you.-- andreasegde ( talk) 08:07, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
For some time now I have had problems with an article listed in Wikipedia mentioning me and would like to see if I could arrive at some resolution. The man whom the article is about is very difficult to deal with and for now the situation seems relatively calm, considering. However rather than stir this still simmering situational pot I feel it is best not to contact him directly.
Because of the touchiness of the situation I thought that working through an editor on this issue would be best. I will be glad to explain the situation and what I feel would be helpful suggestions at your earliest convenience. I am new to this so really don't know where to begin. Any help is appreciated!
I thank you in advance for your time. Apocalypto13 ( talk) 04:38, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I worked on the article today, and now I feel virtually blind on whether there are still unsourced material or not. Could you check and put some {{refnec}} if necessary? Many thanks! -- Anneyh ( talk) 21:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:AlAhramLogo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hugahoody (talk) 19:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi SilkTork. I just wanted to let you know that an on-wiki process for Online Ambassador applications is active now: Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Apply. We'll see how things go; if it doesn't show signs of turning into the kind of toxic atmosphere of RfA, maybe it will make sense to have the on-wiki method be the only one.-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 19:45, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I think you placed the hatnote for verifiability. If not, please excuse my thinking you did. I agree there is a need. The only item in the list now in the article which I had a part in is for Philip Woodward. The first reference covers his award, which mentions the horology. The second may be inappropriate without the first, but strengthens since the first states the horology is important. The final clause was left over from whoever started it. I think it an awkward formula for a happy statement. Is there a way around the present wording, e.g. starting "Philip Woodward, 1919-" with standard implication, or "..., long time resident, still active in ..." with reference to local newspaper interview -- presumably someone identifiably in Malvern could try to get this. If you reply could you use my Talk page please. Michael P. Barnett ( talk) 19:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
I understand your reaction here, however, Athletics is not the same as Track and field. The opening sentences of the athletics article is helpful: "Athletics is a collection of sporting events that involve competitive running, jumping, throwing, and walking. The most common types of athletics competitions are track and field, road running, cross country running, and race walking." There has been some thinking done on this topic - Talk:Athletics_(sport) - and track and field has been split off from athletics. Think of it like Category:Maleae and Category:Apples with Maleae as Athletics and Track and field as Apples. Marathon running, for example, is an athletic event, but it not a track and field event (it does not take place on a running track, nor on the "field" enclosed by the running track). Grouping marathons and other such non-track and field events under track and field is as inappropriate as grouping a pear variety under the apple category. Where there is a doubt, it is better to have an event under athletics than it would be to have it under track and field, and it is only when there is a clearly identified specific that meets the track and field descriptor should something be classed as track and field. If you have further queries about this please let me know before I continue recategorising. Regards SilkTork * YES! 12:26, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
I didn't do anything really, I just fixed some code errors and formatted your tab code to match the template I made. -- Jeremy ( blah blah • I did it!) 19:41, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi could you check out the Afd for Schenecker double homicide it totally up to you to say Keep or Delete. But for me personally is a clear cut case Keep just like with Murder of Joanna Yeates.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 19:18, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi SilkTork, now that Reading to Plymouth Line is a disambig, don't forget to WP:FIXDABLINKS - or at least get some of those who have been discussing the split for so long to help out. This tool will help. It's mostly template fixes so it shouldn't be too hard for someone who's familiar with it. Cheers, -- JaGa talk 04:55, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
If you feel so inclined, you may want to weigh in here. An edit war is brewing, and I would like to find a reasonable solution before much time is wasted. Homunculus ( duihua) 19:15, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 23:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for having a quick look at Cheddar. If you do review it, I have to warn you that I will be away for a few days so I won't be able to help with the GAN if it opens. But in the meantime I will be willing to extend it and do anything that will help it get to its long deserved GA Status. Regards Jaguar ( talk) 17:11, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
I looked at the Isle of Anglesey and saw that the article was written as Isle of Anglesey, while it was titled Anglesey, which was a recent page move. I checked sources which indicated that Isle of Anglesey was the official name, and one used for books and articles on the place, so moved it back. But I note that you use Anglesey exclusively. What are your thoughts on the naming issue? Should it be opened up for a wider discussion? I am always for the usage which is most common, but a search for Anglesey on Google and GoogleBooks threw up mixed results which were unhelpful. Is it one of those either/or situations, and doesn't really matter, or does usage come down mostly on one or the other? SilkTork * YES! 16:01, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the one straight pass and for your comments at Talk:St Mary's Church, Pentraeth/GA1, to which I have replied. Yours, Bencherlite Talk 19:54, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey. Thanks for noting your intention to review the article. I kinda need it review in the next 24 hours or so for the WikiCup, and you mention in another of your posts that you're going to be away. For that reason - and not because I don't value your reviewing skills - I'm going to try to find another reviewer who can review today. Your thoughts on the article are still very much appreciated whenever you can give them. Regards, - Jarry1250 Who? Discuss. 16:47, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
