I have developed a table showing the holders of the senior positions in the shadow cabinet since 1945. I thought that it might be of some use somewhere on English wiki, but it doesn't seem to fit with the current schemes for the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet page, or the Official Opposition frontbench page. Any ideas on where the table might go? BartBassist ( talk) 12:20, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
Just because you feel that the plural of stadium is stadiums and referendum is referendums doesn't mean it is ... child does not have a childs plural, ox not oxes and foot not foots ... It is nice that you have internalized the -s morph but keep in mind that there are several allomorphs out there. Chartinael ( talk) 19:55, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
On the biography entry in Wikipedia for the 3rd. Lord Bute (the prime minister under George III) there is a link in the "References" to a .pdf file that has moved. All attempts I have made to find a way to edit in the actual wiki entry have failed.
The link was to an article on Religious Disabilities among members of parliament. Searching on the UK Parliament website failed but I found it using Google.
Here's the new link: http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons/lib/research/briefings/snpc-01493.pdf

Hello Tim,
Please see the discussion on this page:
Template_talk:Infobox_person#Honorifics_before_and_after_the_name
I think you will agree that this is a pretty uncontroversial suggestion and one which has probably never been made before because nobody has ever thought there was a need for it. If you would like to make the suggested edit there are at least two Wikiepdians who would be much obliged. Alternatively, feel free to point out a reason for not doing it!

Someone has questioned the research on your blog. In David Laws:
Do you want to reassure them? Nunquam Dormio ( talk) 19:59, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Dear Timrollpickering,
Thanks for your edits to New Movement-Meretz. I have edited several Israeli political party articles and am familiar with all of them. I am wondering why you added so many references to the fact that Meretz is a left-wing party. Meretz indeed is a left-wing party, and it proudly identifies as such. That is not disputed, so I am not sure why it is needed, but there may be something I am unaware of. Thanks. -- Shamir1 ( talk) 06:38, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I've checked two dictionaries (M/W online and a dead tree one on my bookshelf); both list both forms as equivalent. What's your evidence for "referendums" being standard or preferred? (Also, not that it's a RS or anything, but Google shows significantly more hits for "referenda" than "referendums".) AV3000 ( talk) 13:26, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
I notice you reverted my Nick Clegg entry. No problems with that as it's currently the only one and did look a bit out of place there. However, as the Lib Dems have formed a number of Shadow Cabinets since 1997 I think in the long run it would be worth including information on them. This could be in the form of extending the template to have something like Official Opposition and Other Opposition Cabinets. I'm investigating the possibility of creating articles for the Frontbench teams of Ashdown, Kennedy and Campbell, so hopefully there will be others, and I'll open a discussion on the tempate talk page. Cheers TheRetroGuy ( talk) 20:44, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Why did you revert my fix of -ship??? I don't do it for the good of my health. Tony (talk) 12:46, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Hey mate, great job on adding the reflinks to the Work Choices article. I missed a lot of those when I was trying to correct the other things that were a bit of a mess. Good editing job on the article. Thanks for following me up and getting all the stuff I missed. Good on you! Cheers, Themoodyblue ( talk) 03:18, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks heaps :) I keep meaning to go back and finish this one but have somehow never found the time. If there's anything I can help with (I have loads of references, mostly in book form but I have all the AJPH's as PDF) feel free to ask. If you want me to email you a PDF source just send me an email with the request thru "Email this user" and I'll send it by return. Orderinchaos 18:17, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I see somebody has recently gone to a lot of trouble numbering all the PM's, only for you to come along and revert them all! I've seen this happen several times. Would it be worth putting a hidden "<!!--NOTE TO EDITORS: -->" into each article about a PM (perhaps in the infobox itself?) explaining that they shouldn't be numbered? It might save a lot of unnecesary effort in future. If you can come up with a suitable comment and a common location, I'm happy to help you update them - you start at one end, I'll start at the other! Regards, Lynbarn ( talk) 10:46, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tim, can I just ask regarding the deseparation of refs you've been doing (noticed in the Kevin Rudd article)... What is the reasoning behind this? A WP link perhaps? Wouldn't it make it that much harder in future to reuse citations common to two separate statements in different parts of the article? Thanks, Donama ( talk) 12:57, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
The numbering issue has cropped up again (see discussion here). As the latest numbering scheme seems to have some basis (and some google hits), I'd appreciate some consensus on whether to remove it again or not. Many thanks.
On an entirely separate note, I'm in the process of looking into the genealogical relationships between PMs. I thought that an equivalent to the US Presidents version might be useful. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Yours, BartBassist ( talk) 22:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Instead of going straight to WP:FLRC, I'm here to let you know that the subject list is at risk of being nominated for demotion. There are several comments on the talk page. If these are not addressed in the next week then the list will be nominated for demotion. Feel free to let me know if you'd like to understand more about this process.

This is an article that you have edited in the past and you appear to me to be an active editor on Wikipedia today. You may wish to be aware that the article has been nominated for deletion. You can can comment on the proposal by following the link in the panel referring to the proposed deletion at the top of the article. Kind regards -- Hauskalainen ( talk) 00:50, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
You corrected A. J. P. Taylor changing " ize" to "ise". Note that both forms are acceptable so your change was arbitrary and not encouraged by WP:ENGVAR. Personally I go with the OED which lists the Z form as the primary spelling due to its etymological background - see OED entry for militarize. Thanks, Fæ ( talk) 12:12, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.
Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry ( talk) 00:05, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Tim. I take it that you have seen the very sad news here? I am a bit shocked and very saddened. I never met him in real life but I thought he was a really splendid editor here, equipped with vast wisdom and sanity. Do you know, was he actually a QM person, or was it just that he was a locally-knowledgeable London type? I know it's not really important but I was just interested: certainly there's no-one of that name in the current staff directory. I had some minor dealings with him regarding the SMD over the years. Best wishes DBaK ( talk) 08:23, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello Timrollpickering, Could you explain your rationale, or reason, from deletion of this category from a number of School alumni pages. In your edits, you only say that you "remove from parent cat". It will be good for everyone to know why they are being deleted! Thanks! -- Abacchus1974 ( talk) 22:14, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
As far as I can see we had a series of vandal attacks from 82.6.2.141 and then Mick arriving late to a discussion on what is a trivial issue which has been resolved on the talk page (check the straw poll). No harm in a freeze as knowing Mick it would become an edit war but it does seem wrong to reward him, especially given the polemic of the edit summary. -- Snowded TALK 20:24, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

[2] Really? So what's next, should the article on cats start out with, "Cats should not be confused with elephants. Elephants are bigger and found on fewer continents." This unsourced paragraph has no business being the first level 2 heading in an encyclopedia article. At best, this should be fused in an existing section, such as the (IMO redundant) sections on voting systems and/or related terms. Dave ( talk) 02:59, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
