Hi, i think you are barking up the wrong tree. I just wrote the comment on the user page. User Ssolbergj made the changes. Perhaps you can take it up with him. Cheers. Causantin ( talk) 12:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
You recently unilaterally moved The Windsor Boys' School to Windsor Boys' School citing the school's web site as evidence of the name. As a governor of that school, I can vouch that the "The" is definitely part of the official name; that being the reason for my original move of the page to its correct name. Both the Local Authority responsible for the school and the Office for Standards in Education include "The". I'm open to further discussion; or will, after a while, revert this move.

A tag has been placed on Laubegast Niederpoyritz Ferry 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 company or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.
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
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. --

I have nominated Laubegast Niederpoyritz Ferry, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laubegast Niederpoyritz Ferry. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- Goodraise ( talk) 17:02, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, regarding the Reading article and your comments on my User_talk:A_boardley, the article has certainly improved since then. It's good to see so many refs added and I'm happy for the Refimprove tag to be removed. Fact tags are certainly the way forward now, I shall add them when I see the need and encourage you to do the same. Thanks for your help a_boardley ( talk) 15:55, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
I don't have the sources to hand, although there might be a few online sources at a pinch, but if you are expanding the De Profundis article, the work featured heavily in the libel case taken by Alfred Douglas against Arthur Ransome; as far as I remember, the reading of it in court essentially won the case for Ransome.

Hi Starbois. I have reverted your recent edits to List of civil parishes in Berkshire as the page uses a common format, reached after much discussion by users, across all the sub-pages of List of civil parishes in England. The format is currently being upgraded, and is being tested in the Metropolitan Counties first (see List of civil parishes in Merseyside to get an idea), so the Berkshire page will almost certainly change at some time over the next year. Hopefully, the new format will take care of any concerns you may have, but it will take a bit of time to roll this out to every county in England. Skinsmoke ( talk) 20:52, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Thankyou for your edits to Mapledurham. I have reverted all of them except the inline citation of an external link to a BBC South Today webpage that you added.
All material added to articles must be verifiable. Your assertion of why you think Mapledurham is best known may or may not be true, but is impossible to verify by citing an authoritative published source. The "Civil Parish" section that you added repeated material all of which is already in the infobox, which has a standard format in order to condense what would take much longer to state longhand. Your elongation of the inline citations to Sherwood & Pevsner's The Buildings of England: Oxfordshire departs from the established academic convention that Wikipedia uses, which is to state author, date, page and nothing else. An inline citation should be concise but include enough data to direct a reader to the publication that is cited in full in the list of sources. There is no value in making articles longer per se. There is value in giving as much verifiable, factual information as possible as concisely and clearly as possible.
You uploaded 27 edits to the same article in 26 hours. Most of us just after we have uploaded material have afterthoughts that lead us to make amendments. However, you may find it useful to use your sandbox first until your work is complete enough to upload.
Thankyou for taking the time and trouble to contribute to Wikipedia. I hope that you will not be discouraged from continuing to do so. Motacilla ( talk) 18:41, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
I saw in
Reading, Berkshire that you added an "accessyear" parameter. Please be informed that these are deprecated. The preferred way is to put day, month, and year together in the "accessdate" parameter.
