Hello. I see that you added some information regarding growing atheism to the UK page. While it is not an unreasonable statement (in my own opinion), it does fall foul of expected content in Wikipedia, I'm afraid. Firstly, it could be interpreted as being point-of-view. Secondly, you do not quote any sources for it - which is a rather important thing to do. Please review your contribution in light of this. I have not reverted what you wrote as I thought I should give you an opportunity to have another look at it - however, I suspect that others will do. Thanks for your other contributions. Cheers, Parmesan 16:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC).
Hallo: Thanks for your contribution to Leeds. When you're adding a link, like Beeston, it's worth clicking on it in "preview edit" to check that it goes to the right article. If it leads to a "disambiguation page" offering a choice of meanings, you can then follow the link which looks right (which may itself lead to a page with a different title: the "Beeston" page had a link to "Beeston, West Yorkshire" which led to "Beeston, Leeds", but I'll get back and fix it now), and once you find the page for the place you're talking about you can change the link to [[Beeston, Leeds|Beeston]] - ie first the title of the article you want to link to, then "|", then the words you want appearing in the text. I've sorted out that one (now Beeston)and a couple of others. Enjoy your editing! PamD 20:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Michael Taylor (Religious denouncer, disestablishment campaigner), to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. vlad§inger tlk 22:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Notability of Ashtray throwing man
A tag has been placed on Ashtray throwing man, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. WebHamster 23:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Redirect of Catal Station
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Catal Station, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Catal Station is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Catal Station, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Leeds United
Please do not add links to the Service Crew or a Hooligan section to the Leeds United page. Any notable hooligan events such as the destruction of the stadium in Paris in 1975 after the European Cup Final are mentioned in the clubs history. The Service Crew are in no-way affiliated with the club and as such should not have a link placed on the clubs page. I am not the only editor to revert your edits, so please refrain from re-adding this information. Chappy

- Hi there. I deleted the article because it is agreed upon by WikiProject Football that Step 7 clubs are not notable unless they have played at a higher level in the past. As this is not the case for the club, they are not deemed notable enough for an article.
- A separate issue; on your user page you have a "strong dislike of the term humanism", yet you also have a userbox stating that you are a secular humanist! пﮟოьεԻ 57 20:36, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
