Thanks for weighing in on notable karateka listings; I'm tying to de-orphan this article: Malcolm Phipps. Any other suggestions for links are welcome! Dreadstar ☥ 21:20, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Just to say that your suggestion that my entry about a tea house in Wareham being advertising/publicity (or something) is totally unfounded. I have nothing to do with the place.... I do not know the owners... i just went there and thought that it was of historical value to record that Lawrence of Arabia used regularly to go there. There's a plaque there to commemorate this. I am sure I have also read it in his biography ... but I certainly can't be bothered to find the reference knowing now that you will just delete it as "advertising". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mafiga ( talk • contribs) 08:22, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Your canvassing of multiple editors regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bus routes in Colchester constitutes vote-stacking and was not appropriate. See Wikipedia:Canvassing. All of the editors whom you contacted, in quick succession, based on their past participation in similar AfDs, had !voted Delete at those other AfDs. You were contacting an entirely partisan audience for the purpose of securing your preferred outcome in the discussion. I realise that, like some of our younger editors, you have very strong feelings about buses and bus routes on Wikipedia, and that you feel your viewpoint on this reflects policy. However, you must not ignore Wikipedia policy in order to ensure your viewpoint prevails, and canvassing in this way can be considered disruptive. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 18:59, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Sick to death of this editor not acknowledging warnings and/or suggestions so I have taken him to ANI. Perhaps you want to contribute/comment? Thanks.

Hi Charles,
I am new to this and found you on the adoption page. I am interested in creating articles relating to my local area (Wiltshire). I have had no previous experience so any help would be great !
I have created an article in my user pages but I can't work out how to get it from there to the mainsite ?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Thanks very much for your message and help. I have now actually created the page (yay!). One more question, I have tried the help page but it wasn't very clear, how do I add a logo to the info box ?

Hi, I have no connections with the Kawasaki motorbike racing team and did not know they existed until I saw them on Eurosport the other weekend and as I live in the town I thought it would be good to mention them. If we can mention them without a link to their external page which incidentally is mostly about the 'sport' (no I do not really believe motorsport is sport) then I would be happy. So is it ok to re-establish the text without the link? Toh-maag ( talk) 14:48, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Charles,
I put the section on safe handling of carcinogens at the end of the Carcinogen page because I was required to add content to this article for a university assignment.
It is my lecturer's belief that material on this subject is a useful addition to Wikipedia. As such, I would appreciate it if you could view it from the perspective of material in need of refinement rather than attributing it no worth at all. I'm required to contribute something on this topic, and would have appreciated more specific and less harsh guidance. Thank you.

Thank you for the closure. Sadly this does nothing to overcome the problem of a number of train/bus spotters who vote at AfDs to keep totally unencyclopedic and non-notable material just because they like it, resulting in its surviving by default when the result is no consensus. WP:NOTGUIDE, WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTTRAVEL are basically being ignored, resulting in great frustration for some of us. Can you see any way forward with this?-- Charles ( talk) 21:52, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
