IP rant

I was wondering how providing more information on a vague statement (i.e., listing information such as the organizations that performed a study, when studies were performed, and where they were published instead of leaving a page to say "a recent study" when more than one study had been performed) was "unconstructive." I had made formatting errors that I was attempting to correct as a result of being somewhat new to linking pages and references in Wikipedia, but other than that I didn't see anything unconstructive about my edit since it provided links to factual information instead of vague statements that didn't refer to a specific time or place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.82.29 (talk) 22:58, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Epping Forest Keepers

My point is that the police act 1996 etc supersede that archaic specific extension of the MPD so although the law may still be enacted it is irrelevant as the MPD and Essex Police area are defined by much later legislation. Regards Dibble999 (talk) 19:23, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Ninety, you have lost me. As an historical interest point the law that extended jurisdiction in the past may technically still be in place, i.e. no Act has actually abolished or repealed the Epping Forest extension. I would be happy for this to be part of the article in an historical section. Bear in mind that at the time a constable's jurisdiction ended at his force boundary generally.
However, as modern law stands now the 'historical extension' is irrelevant and a legal hangover with no actual purpose to the current status and situation. For starters under current legislation constables of both Essex and the Met have jurisdiction (in its real sense) throughout England & Wales as per the 1996 Act. In terms of police force areas (i.e. areas of responsibility) then its the Police Act 1996 and Greater London Act 1999 (both as amended) that set out the Met and Essex police area. Part of Epping Forest is in the MPD and part in the Essex force area - no 'historical extensions' needed.
There is no original research as far as I am aware - its in the law of the land in black and white. So my point is: the law is quite clear no jurisdiction issues, no police area issues, this was sorted by the modern legislation. The article should reflect this - by all means refer to the historic legislation in an 'history section' but in terms of the practical legal situation now and more importantly, to inform those reading the article about the current status of law enforcement in the forest the modern legislation applies. Dibble999 (talk) 18:30, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Fair enough. Never suggested the Act had been repealed, however it has been 'superseded' by more modern law. As the article read it gave the impression the old extension had a relevance to the modern situation - it doesn't. The charging, although not disputing its not been repealed is also slightly misleading without a context explanation. Again this would go back to a time when policing was very different - well over 50 years ago Scotland Yard used to send detectives to the shire forces to deal with murders beyond their capability etc etc and charge for it. I would seriously doubt that Epping Forest Keepers would or have in the last few decades billed the Met or Essex for their services. I can just imagine the response they would get!! As you probably know there are countless laws on the statute book which have been left in place which are of no relevance to today and no longer enforced... Regards Dibble999 (talk) 20:17, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Now that could be interesting!! I can just imagine a new money making policy being developed in some back room department!! Dibble999 (talk) 22:29, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Ninetyone. Please read User_talk:2007apm#January_2010. We agreed in Kosovo note consensus that as kosovo is disputed, we must add kosovo note next to word kosovo in all related articles.

Courts Tribunial & Enforcement Act 2007

Hi, I see that you are interested in the law. I’m a former Cert Bailiff & HCEO. I’ve started a web site and I’m writing a book, both of which are aimed at business people to help them use the court system in England & Wales. I’ve spotted and corrected a couple of minor errors on the pages, no idea who made them. To be honest I am very new to Wiki, not really sure how the community works, how Wiki works, how to navigate wiki (apart from searches of course) or what all the code is. What would you suggest a newbie do to learn his way around? I also notice that there is no mention or reference to the new act and the implications to bailiffs & HCEOs Would you be interested in a joint venture?

Your request for rollback

Hi Ninetyone/Archive 8. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY (TALK) 01:19, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

the changes were made by bots like User:VolkovBot. On the talkpage of this bot in de:wp it is mentioned that the person behind it does not have good knowledge of the German language. Kind regards--BKSlink (talk) 13:29, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
in the meantime a German user who is familiar with bots has arranged something. Hopefully this will solve the problem. Kind regards--BKSlink (talk) 16:46, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Harder

You need to look harder. Just because I'm not currently using an account doesn't mean I'm a vandal. While I'm not a newcomer and I won't be scared away from Wikipedia because you reverted me, I think this kind of careless reverting more often than not will have that very effect. Please be more careful about what to revert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.226.5.206 (talk) 23:00, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ninetyone,

to be honest, I am not.

I am faced with dealing with this Brahma Kumari follower who is attempting to discredit the topic page of his religion with unnecessary and oversized tags, the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University.

Update the talibans strength and total strength of all militants which is 98,100 total militants in war in afghanistan article.

Gordon Brown Constituency Result 2010

Hi I feel the constituency result for Gordon Brown is important to be included in the article about him.

You had deleted the sentence from the articles local election section as you say its in the wrong place, however you have not moved it to elsewhere in the article, surely his constituency result is relevant to the article about him. Can you suggest a way of adding this back to the article.

The sentence removed was:

Gordon Brown was re-elected to serve as a member of parliament for Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath constituency on 6th May 2010 with 29,559 votes representing 64.5% of votes.[1]

Political party Gains

If a member of a party defects to another party after being elected on a platform of another party eg a Liberal Democrat defecting to the Green party the seat is the a Green party seat to defend when the elections next come up. When the Liberal Democrats win the election in the seat it is a gain for the Liberal Democrats because there is no longer a Green party member in that seat. the same is true in the case of the Speaker. It was a Conservative seat and there was a Conservative speaker. At the election though the winning candidate was not a Conservative but had the label of Speaker so it is a Speaker gain from Conservative as the candidate who won was not under the Conservative banner, but under the banner of Speaker.--Lucy-marie (talk) 20:38, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Please see Glasgow Springburn (UK Parliament constituency) and West Bromwich West (UK Parliament constituency) as the two previous seats where the speaker has stood and the label of speaker was allowed to be used.--Lucy-marie (talk) 20:58, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Theoretically the party of Speaker did gain the seat as he stood under the description of speaker at this election and did not stand as a Conservative, the Speaker party did gain the seat as this was the first time he was elected to the seat as a Speaker candidate. If he had been Speaker before the previous election it would have been Speaker hold please see,Glasgow North East (UK Parliament constituency).--Lucy-marie (talk) 21:12, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

I would argue exactly the same arguments you have used to threaten me to get your own way. I have quoted the precedent as put forward by Wikipedia Articles of a similar nature to this one. I have initiated a discussion here and provided links to the articles.

Blues and twos

Thanks for your comments. I made the change I did for two reasons: (1) there was very substantial overlap between the existing content of Blues and twos and Emergency vehicle lighting#United Kingdom - there shouldn't really be two articles with the same content, and (2) I felt that a page on 'blues and twos', which is a slang phrase, should be concentrated on explaining the meaning of the phrase (ie blue lights and two-tone sirens), and then redirect the reader to other page for the detailed info as to qualifying emergency services, traffic laws etc. I'm not sure that someone wanting to look up info about police car lights would necessarily look up the phrase 'blues and twos'. Happy to discuss further. Dmvward (talk) 18:02, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Ip rant Mk. II

Same here. I saw an unverified claim in Anxiety Disorder (Regular aerobic exercise [...is] often useful in treating anxiety), so I thought I'd link to a medicine journal that recently did a study on exactly that topic. I'm not too familiar with proper wiki-formatting, so I thought I'd throw the link up there and let somebody else handle it.
Imagine my surprise to find out that adding verification for an unsubstantiated claim (albeit poorly cited) counts as "unconstructive".
I'm adding it again. If you want to delete it, be my guest. But before you do that, please follow the link, check its validity, and, if you find it appropriate to the article, clean it up so that it can be of use to other people. Just because the content is poorly formatted does not mean it's worthless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.69.92 (talk) 21:10, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
