		For tirelessly correcting incompatible dates of birth, I award thee the Working Man's Barnstar. It's tedious work but it needs to be done and you're doing an awesome job. Graymornings(talk) 09:29, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Joseph S. Iseman

Hello, you put in the date of birth for Joseph S. Iseman, which is an entry on my watchlist. The lack of same must have escaped me, but glad it's there now. I have also corrected the date of his death. In any case, thank you. Regards, MarmadukePercy (talk) 04:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

22d SOPS

I'm going to change back the edit to make 22d SOPS to 22nd SOPS; I'm sure the edit was good intentioned, but the Air Force (while not always consistent) tries to stick with 2d or 3d with its unit designations.

Ok, we'll play this way - I will contact the Air Force Historical Research Agency, order a copy (thru FOIA) of the 22 SOPS lineage and honors history, and use that as the reference of 22d instead of 22nd. From personal experience, usually the unit's lowest ranking person helps write the fact sheet - I wouldn't expect them to actually have read the AF regs on historical designations or have contacted the AFHRA for information. Change it back if you must, but be prepared for an edit when the info comes in. TDRSS (talk) 10:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

It may be a bit late, but I will apologize for my tone. As I'm sure you picked up this particular topic is a sensitive area and has been fought with countless folks who keep up with unit histories and lineages. I have argued with the 18-year old Senior Airman who "thinks" he knows how his unit should be identified, and the old WWII bomber pilot who claims to remember differently. On most, if not all, of the pages I edit, I give a good "authoritative" reference - this is one area that is lacking. But due to my argumentative tone, and your warranted response, I guess I will have to find the authoritative source to reference. Again, I am sorry for my tone and reply. TDRSS (talk) 16:05, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Better late then never - This link is to the AF Historical Research Agency's heraldry introduction. If you scroll down the page, under Figure 12, the paragraph describes the number "endings" authorized (i.e. "th", "st", and "d"). Again, sorry for the misunderstanding and negative tone.

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010.

WMGM-TV

Thank you for reverting the edit of User:5.254.114.200 I was just getting really frustrated over their crap and didn't want to get into an editing war with them so I'm just ignoring them now. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 00:49, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

April 2015

Your recent editing history at Plantagenet Alliance shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You should be aware that your first removal of text today constitutes your first revert for 3RR. One more revert will be your fourth and it goes to WP:AN3. Take it Talk and don't revert. DeCausa (talk) 21:59, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Robert Jenrick

I would like to amend the Robert Jenrick site to make my personal addresses less visible online. I hope you will understand this is perfectly reasonable: I would like to protect my wife and three young children. Like other MPs I have received abusive and threatening contacts on occasion. It is highly unusual for an MP to have his address clearly identifiable on Wikipedia and Police advice is to protect the identity of ones home if possible. I understand a Mail on Sunday article, regrettably, lists my addresses, but that does not mean that it should be available far more prominently and permanently on Wikipedia. The details were clearly added for partisan reasons at the time of my election. That was the prerogative of the individual concerned. However in the present climate, I would like to protect the security of my family and Wikipedia is presently compromising that.

Please email me at jenrickr@parliament.uk so we can continue this conversation off-line in an appropriate manner.

Regards Robert Jenrick — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.60.38.29 (talk) 14:30, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. I would prefer to conduct any discussion on Wikipedia where a record is available for other editors.

The information about your properties is included as it was an issue in your election campaign and was reported in the national press. With regard to your concerns about security, a Google search for 'Robert Jenrick' brings up a number of results where mention of your Eye Manor property was either at your instigation or clearly with your agreement. I've listed a few below.

http://www.hereford.anglican.org/Content/CHUCH%20FETE%202015.pdf - advert for a fete at Eye Manor by 'kind permission' of yourself.

http://www.herefordtimes.com/news/13615886.display/ - the same fete publicised in the Hereford Times.

http://cloversignsblog.com/2008/04/country-estate-signs/ - a blog comment by yourself requesting information on signs for Eye Manor.

You can see that information about your property is available online in many places other than Wikipedia, all accessible to any one who searches for your name. In these circumstances, I do not see 'security' as a valid reason to remove the information from Wikipedia.

Regards. Dalliance (talk) 13:13, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Sean Crighton

Please can you explain why you think that Sean Crighton article comes anywhere close to passing WP:NSPORT or WP:GNG. If you agree it does not, then removing the proposed deletion tag as you did today is a complete waste of everyone's time that will now have participate in a deletion discussion the outcome of which is already certain. --ℕ ℱ 14:35, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your response on my talkpage. I do however find the reasoning fairly tenuous. The creator of the page was notified when I added the BLP PROD tag so gives exactly the same opportunity for them to object as the XFD process. The tag was entirely the right one to use for an unsourced BLP which also completely fails to meet any notability guideline. Removing that tag might have merit if there was a greater than zero chance of the article being kept, as it is, there is no reasonable argument based on policy that would prevent deletion. The WP:NSPORT guidelines are very clear and well established as regards the lower league footballers. There is already a great deal of pressure on the XFD process and a lack of general participation. This is not aided by deprodding non-notable articles imho. --ℕ ℱ 13:46, 21 January 2016 (UTC)'

Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

Suzanne Pilley entry

Re,the recent edit by Dalliance in footnote 40 I have just registered to try and reach you. I am a relative of David Gilroy. I would like to see a simple addition referencing our family web site www.gilroyfamily.info. I think that would be proportionate as there was no body, no forensic evidence and no witness to the alleged crime. As a family we continue to support his endeavours to clear his name and prove his innocence but this will be difficult to achieve. Most of the constituent parts of the Scotish justice system have much to be embarrassed about. I think I am right in saying that this case is second in expense next to the Megrahi case in the history of Scottish Criminal Justice. . This included £320k alone for the 6 searches in the Argyll Forest? It was certainly the third most expensive a few years ago. I do not see there being any kudos in this and only mention it because it is a big barrier to us getting a voice to point to what is wrong with the case against David. We have some 35 unanswered and reasonable questions post the SCCRC review mentioned in footnote 40 which we will be pursuing. Am happy to give further information if Dalliance or someone would be prepared to add a link to the web site perhaps with a simple descriptor 'David's family continue to support his attempts to clear his name and prove his innocence' That by the way will be no mean feat. Without a witnessed alibi for the 5 minute period during which the crime was supposed to have been committed how do you prove a negative? And yet that seems to be the standard of proof we are now faced with despite having pointed to dozens of errors in the evidence many of which the SCCRC have simply ignored calling demonstrable facts 'speculation'.

Mayors

Thanks for the catch at Kenora. Just so you know, what happened is that Ontario had its municipal elections on Monday, so some cities (including Kenora) elected new mayors — but the new mayors aren't taking office until December 1, so the outgoing ones are still the current incumbents as of today and you were accordingly right to revert the IP.

Unfortunately, however, after such elections we always, always get a huge onslaught of anonymous IPs jumping the gun to change the mayors' names right away, so we have a rule in place that we add the new mayor-elect as a second line after the current mayor for the duration of the transition period. So if you come across any other examples of someone changing the mayor's name in a city in Ontario (or British Columbia, which also had its municipal elections a few days earlier), then do a quick Google check to see if the new name verifies as the election winner — if it does, then you should definitely restore the outgoing mayor's name, but still leave the new one as a second line with the "(elect)" designation after their name.
