Be careful!

I think you missed by one edit with this reversion. All fixed now, just wanted to let you know though. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 09:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops! That was embarassing! Thanks L.J.Skinner^{WOT?|I did} 15:37, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: user:Bluedevil04

I reverted a bunch of his edits, and I have been watching for more with my finger hovering over the block trigger. However, I just saw that someone else has blocked him. —JeremyA (talk) 02:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

Hi. Reverted vandalism to your userpage by 81.111.53.69‎, who you warned for doing the same to Paddy Kenny. Left him/her a final warning. Cheers. Refsworldlee^(chew-fat)(eds) 23:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MML etc

I can see you had some problems with trying to decide which line goes where. I have sorted this out now. If you want to try to design templates like the one on the Midland Main Line, see WP:TRAIL. If you are interested in UK railways, why not join WP:Rail? Simply south 11:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stop

Why did you revert my changes to the Cavegirl page? I will revert it back. Cls14 19:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please, use references, not embedded links L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 04:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Next time please ask me before going around deleting all of what I wrote. Cls14 19:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did not delete all of what you wrote, and please note that you cannot claim ownership of what you write on wiki, per WP:OWN, which states, "You cannot stop everyone in the world from editing "your" stuff, once you have posted it to Wikipedia. As each edit page clearly states:

"If you don't want your material to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it. (emphasis added)"

But again, please use wiki convention for referencing - see WP:REF L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 04:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox UK place

For the explanation see Template talk:Infobox UK place. MRSC • Talk 10:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

try Template talk:Infobox England place. Concensus was keep, therefore I see no reason not to use it. L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 14:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is not only inflamatory, and highly incivil, but rather childish. Those templates should never be used for content disputes, but for clear cases of vandalism (in which case you should use {{test1}}, assume good faith and contact the user for an explanation anyway).

With regards to this, the Sheffield Infobox has not escaped deletion (it is almost certain it will within the next few hours), and so you're asserting a falsification.

I wasn't talking about the Sheffield infobox. Please, try not to insert false claims where they do not exist L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 14:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With your reversions, let me tell you that there are a grand total of 6 of the old England infoboxes in use on article space. Yes 6 - you're the only guy in the entire UK trying to use this space wasting, repetative, superceded template. Good call. Jhamez84 02:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are/were six articles using the England place infobox because you made it that way, there is however no justification for that state in the first place. The TfD of England Infobox is proof you do not have worldwide support. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 10:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

jay brannan

why did you revert my edits?--24.19.3.231 04:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was unfounded, there was no referencing and it was potentially defamatory. L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 01:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well then tell me what to do, instead of deleting it. what references can i use - youtube.com? and how was it defamatory?--24.19.3.231 05:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have to delete potentially liabilous content. It was defamatory because there was no evidence of his sexuality. The way it was written appeared to be vandalism:-

I suggest that "Jay Brannan is an American singer/songwriter and actor. He is gay." would be better written

"Jay Brannan is a homosexual<refname=gay>insert proof of sexuality here</ref> American singer/songwriter and actor."

You should know what you can and cannot write from wiki's user help pages. I'd like to suggest you familiarise yourself with WP:REF and WP:BLP. L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 11:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

South Yorkshire map

I'll be happy to look into this once the England and Sheffield infoboxes are converted over. Regards, Jhamez84 17:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick point/question - mapping appears to be being requested and rolled out according to ceremonial county. How well of an established and well used geographic reference frame is the Sheffield City Region? Would a map for South Yorkshire or the SCR be most useful to readers? Jhamez84 17:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such legal entity such as Sheffield region. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 18:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

South Yorkshire it shall be then. Jhamez84 18:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like another argument or are you going to wait? Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 18:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WTF? Is that a threat for offering to help create a map? If this persists I'm taking this further - this is not the way to treat users. Jhamez84 21:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you see it that way. You see, when you started this mass implementation of UK infobox, I told you, concert first. Now you're doing it again with this. You know how it's going with Uk infobox, do you want the same argument with this? I certainly don't, please ask more than one person before. Who's threatening who? Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 21:03, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've never had any arguements, with any user - that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to speak to Lewis as he's made a request with me, so please allow him to speak to me, rather than jump in and bully me away from discussions. Jhamez84 21:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well I'm telling you, politely, I didn't accept UK place infobox before and I won't with the map. Yes this is Lewis' talkpage, but would you prefer I used your talkpage? Export this this to WP:Sheff where it belongs so that you won't tell this isn't the place mmmh? Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 21:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lewis, if you'd like to continue your discussion, please feel free to do so. Jhamez84 21:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes I'm still interested. Can you have a go (South Yorks rather than Sheffield Region if is has to be) and I'll take a look and match it up with my geography of the region :) L.J.Skinner^{wot|I did} 19:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to WikiProject Trains

Hello and welcome to the Trains WikiProject! Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and detailed guide to rail transport on Wikipedia. As a project member, you may add the project membership userbox to your user page if you wish.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and take some time to review the Trains project manual of style where we have collected guidelines and suggestions on notability and style for a consistent representation of rail transport related material. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Trains project to do list. If you'd like to specialize in a particular area of study within rail transport, take a look at the current Trains project task forces.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing! Slambo (Speak) 19:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Regarding notability of Football (soccer) players

Hi, seeing you are interested in football this is an invitation to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 20:09, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
