List of Ben & Jerry's flavors
ResolvedHey. Awhile back you closed a requested move and moved Ben & Jerry's flavors to List of Ben & Jerry's flavors, and Retired Ben & Jerry's flavors to List of discontinued Ben & Jerry's flavors. Chunk Champion (talk · contribs) recently did a manual move back on both articles. I started a thread on ANI about this, but I was wondering if you could move both articles back and lock them against moves? — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 15:25, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Please reconsider your close. There was no conclusion/compromise/consensus reached, only two sides stating their case. Thank you. --Chunk Champion (talk) 15:35, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Could you please explain to me why the Haagen-Dazs page does not have to follow the "List of" standard? I tried to fix the page to coincide with the rules and HelloAnnyong comes along and changes it back citing WP:POINT. But yet on that page under Important Note it reads, "However, just because someone is making a point does not mean that they are disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate it. With that in mind, linking here should be done with care." These lists on this page are undeniably lists and so they should be marked as such to remain consistent with the guidelines.--Chunk Champion (talk) 16:47, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
Your resources request
In regards to this request, I have managed to obtain scanned PDF versions of both documents. Please email me using Special:EmailUser/ThaddeusB if you still need want them & I will be happy to reply with a copy of the documents. --ThaddeusB (talk) 03:49, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
I Never Really Got to Say It Over There, But...
...they actually blocked me from accessing the English Wikipedia. No, I don't mean they took away my editing privileges. I mean that I actually couldn't even access the website. Not even Willy on Wheels was punished like that. You had me really scared, and I don't appreciate that.--66.177.73.86 (talk) 00:29, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- That's not actually something an admin can do. If you were unable to access the site, it was something your internet provider (or the proxy you were attempting to use) had done. --ThaddeusB (talk) 02:00, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

here we are. Feel free to post any additions you can find; I'll get the Inns of Court Bibliography out when I'm in the library next. Ironholds (talk) 02:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- A barrister's live, hectic? Perish the thought! Anything you can add in would be good - I have no plans past DYK until more modern material can be scavenged from your great library, so there's no pressure. Any chance of seeing you at the London December meetup, by the way? Ironholds (talk) 16:48, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- Just say you are meeting some barristers! We have three there, if you unfortunately forget to add the word "student" before one of them :P. Ironholds (talk) 17:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'd also be interested to hear your views on Inner Temple Library; I'm of the opinion that it isn't notable independently of the Temple. Thoughts? Ironholds (talk) 11:21, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

- Basically just see what you can see. No need to buy things says the man who just bought a book on the Court of Appeal just to get a triple-DYK! I would have assumed they'd have a copy in the Library. The "brief historical description" may be the same as that on the website, the rest I'm not sure. "Ravages of War" would be particularly useful for 20th century history, as would the Noel and Sedley books. Ironholds (talk) 00:51, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I was going to add an entry for the visual search engine Spezify and found out it was already deleted.
Spezify is a nominee for the SIME Rising Stars of the North award http://sime.nu/09/awards/rising-stars-of-the-north/

December 9
Even taking into account that we're talking about Oxford, I'm still surprised by the number of relevant entries you found. That would work, if you wanted to set up something like that for a daily basis. The question I guess is whether you want to do that much work to set up every day like that, and I guess that decision is yours. If you don't want to do that much, maybe selecting just four or five per day might work. John Carter (talk) 21:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: this question - occasionally, but given that I have to consider what's been scheduled previously, taking future requests into account makes scheduling substantially harder. Raul654 (talk) 01:16, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Getting Back into things again
Hey, back again... Except for under a different name: i found the previous unprofessional. (Redskunk) I have some free time now, and want to know how to help wikipedia. I want to know what to help with. I've just been doing vandalism and AfD stuff right now. I'm interested in (possibly) becoming an administrator, but of course it would require work on my part, and my primary goal is the good of the encyclopedia over that. Not sure in what direction to go, and I find you a good reliable source of information/critique.
Also feel free to rip into what I've been doing if it would help :)
NativeForeigner (talk) 05:33, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking into it NativeForeigner (talk) 20:12, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- I'm trying to determine notability for progamers, as some people that have participated in the highest level championships aren't mentioned, and in WP:NOTE it says that people in such events are notable. However this is regarding esports. Additionally it should be noted that most available information will inherently be written in korean, so can that be cited or is it not considered a good source? I feel like I could write these articles, but want to make sure they are notable before proceeding.
- Also looking into StarCraft professional competition it appears to be very long mostly consisting of lists which although relevant aren't listed on say Olympics. I think parallels should be drawn. Should these long lists of winners and runner ups etc be made a separate list? NativeForeigner (talk) 20:23, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Bencherlite, hope you had a good holiday. Could you be so kind as to move the article Gower peninsula to Gower Peninsula. Don't know why it has been moved to a lower case article, but its a place, and it should be capitalised. Both the Encyclopedia of Wales and the area's website gowerpeninsula.org.uk spell it with a capital P. Thanks FruitMonkey (talk) 11:17, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello. You added the Oxford univ. project tag to Terriss's article. He attended Oxford briefly but did not graduate. I don't think that, under these circumstances, he should be tagged for that project. There must be a lot of people with a stronger connection to Oxford who should be tagged instead. I suggest that we delete the tag. It seems to me that the most relevant projects for this bio are Biography and Theatre. I don't even see why he should be tagged with the London project.

Materialscientist (talk) 18:00, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bencherlite. I've replied on my talk page about avoiding redirects. However, Wikipedia Wales policy for geographic descriptors is to use the contemporary spelling of place names. hence we use, for instance, Caernarfon, even though at the time the town may have been spelt Carnarvon or Caernarvon. Similarly, we refer to the Ffestiniog Railway for its whole history, even though for most of that history it was known in English as the Festiniog Railway. It is not true to say that at the time Lewis Gilbertson was born the place was known as Cardiganshire, rather than Ceredigion. It has been known in Welsh as Ceredigion since long before the Normans invented the term Cardiganshire. English has now adopted that spelling, rather than the bastardised Cardigan.
The UK policy guideline is set out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK counties), where it advises we should use the current administrative counties:-
- 1. We should use the current, administrative, county. E.g. Eton is in Berkshire, not Buckinghamshire.
- This approach is consistent with most local and national government literature, some private sector literature, will be familiar to most readers and writers, and indeed the approach will apply even if boundaries change again. It is also easy for people to find out where a particular village is, as maps with administrative boundaries are freely available online. While historic county maps do exist, it is hard to find one with maps of modern urban areas and city and borough boundaries transposed against historic counties. It is also consistent with other encyclopedias such as the 1911 Encyclopedia, which specifically calls Cromarty a 'former county'.
In Wales, of course, the principal area, whether a county or county borough, applies.
It is therefore not acceptable to say, under either the UK or Wales guidelines, that Gilbertson was born in Cardiganshire. A case could be made out that it would be acceptable to say that "Gilbertson was born in Ceredigion, then known as Cardiganshire", though I suspect even that would fall foul of the Wikipedia Wales guidelines.

Hi. Sorry to bother you but I was searching the help desk archive for help in my problem and I found your comments here. Is there any chance you can delete my userpage and restore only the last edit? I am currently receiving criticism from another editor due to views on wikipedia policy I have in previous versions of my talk page. Naturally as I have removed this information from my talk page I no longer wish others to see it (as my views have also changed somewhat) but this editor has gone to the trouble of finding an old version of my userpage and posting it on the talk page of another article as ammunition against my general credibility.

Zscout370 (talk · contribs) urged me to nom it, so I feel that it's probably ready. Secondly, I'm working on the USS washington with the ed17 (talk · contribs), and will be writing an expanded section on the naval battle of guadalcanal. Does it have any specific issues? Thanks, NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 01:27, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

- Thank you kindly for the authorlinks; the latter FAC has been removed since I was unaware you couldn't have more than one up at any one time. On a related note, I've got a copy of Megarry's book on the Inns of Court, so let me know when you want to make an FAC push on Inner Temple. Ironholds (talk) 19:53, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Adaptively Reused churches and Former churches
Hi Bencherlite, I've distinguished "Adaptively Reused churches" from "Former churches" because former churches could refer to any church building no longer used as a church, which would include demolition, closure, abandonment, ruin, etc. Adaptively Reused is an historic preservation / architectural conservation term for the reuse of a structure. For churches, this would include continuation as a church but for a different Christian denomination. Hope this clarifies that neither category is really a subcategory of each other, although they do heavily overlap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by James Russiello (talk • contribs) 20:23, 10 February 2010
- I believe some mistake were made. Thank you for catching the St. Cross and Hove articles
- Adaptive Reuse is the standard term in the architectural conservation / historic preservation / restoration industry, used as a keyword in nearly every publication on the subject.
Peter Fox (librarian)
Hello again, There is a strange situation at Cambridge University Library in that the Latin Wikipedia provides a much better list of the Librarians than the English one. Peter Fox also had a stub in the la:wikipedia which I have translated, but have not created it in case it gets deleted. Do you think it is worth improving, perhaps using Who's Who? My text is at Talk:Cambridge University Library.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 08:01, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for your offer of Who's Who details. I decided to added the Peter Fox article and see what happens next as I believe the information to be valid even though Latin WP is not allowed as a reliable source here. In depth coverage of the long series of CUL librarians would be a worthwhile project for somebody but I won't be doing it. I have just done two: F. W. Ratcliffe, and now Peter Fox. The Bodleian now has a very good set of articles. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 05:54, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so two supports in 18 hours, now you can no longer accuse my reviewers of possible sycophancy...! The Rambling Man (talk) 18:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Featured List review
Thanks for your comments at the Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Washington & Jefferson College alumni/archive1. I'm actually ambivalent about whether the images on the side even add anything to the list. Do you think the list would stand a better chance of being promoted if I were to remove the images or reduce the number of them? --GrapedApe (talk) 04:50, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice, I'll be working on this now.--GrapedApe (talk) 16:20, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

- Passed; seems excellent! You also need to check your email more often :P. If you're up for a bit of browsing, Pepper v Hart might interest you; a famous case taught completely incorrectly by universities. Ironholds (talk) 06:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Re Pepper
God, makes it sounds like a trusts case! I note you're paying attention to this article (which I'm very proud of); Wikidea and I differ on our styles. Could you comment here please? Ironholds (talk) 00:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the C(RTP)A. Could I be an absolute ass? I hate to further use up your time, but if I email you a load of PvH citations, could you see if you can grab the things from Westlaw and the like? Ironholds (talk) 22:44, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
DYK count
A question: you list yourself as having 51 Did you know? contributions at Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of DYKs, but on your page User:Bencherlite/DYK I see only 39. What's the difference in count? What am I not seeing?
- Thanks for the explanation—it all comes clear! Binksternet (talk) 06:32, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
