OK Dsp13 (talk) let me get this straight, you've gone on to delete the Category:Chinese footballers from as I speak 44 players even though the majority of the people from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football still believe that this page has relevance.

You're also created a new page Category:Chinese association football defenders, which needs further discussion such as 1) What about players who play in several positions? 2) Does a player fall into this category if they've only played a few minutes there, or only one game there? 3a) Are you gonna apply a simular page to all the other countries? 3b) If not why not?

Dear Dsp13 thank you for re-directing me to Categorisation discussion of your recently created category page. After reading the arguments presented I don't think this the best way in refining the search for a player and I will be reverting the player pages you changed.

Yours sincerely User talk:Kai Lau 16 October.

A long overdue Wiki Notable. I just wanted to say thanks for your contribution of her worthwhile inclusion. Her "Bluefish Cove" play was definitely a landmark piece Pjt48 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:25, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

thanks very much! really kind of you to take the trouble to get in touch. Terry Baum on the way, though I have to stop now for a children's birthday party.Dsp13 (talk) 14:42, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Dsp13. Thanks for creating the article on former PM Nasuhi al-Bukhari. I expanded the article a bit, and nominated it to WP:DYK. I hope you don't mind. Also, thanks for that great resource of redlinks you put together, it comes quite handy. Cheers. Yazan (talk) 14:28, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

thanks! I saw you'd spotted the redlinks, and I'm really pleased if they come in handy. I was surprised that such a low proportion of the people in Sami Moubayed's book were in WP. Dsp13 (talk) 15:52, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

On 26 September 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nasuhi al-Bukhari, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that former Syrian prime minister Nasuhi al-Bukhari resigned after only three months in office when talks to ratify the Franco-Syrian Treaty of Independence broke down? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nasuhi al-Bukhari. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

It is considered good practice to add a WP:WikiProject banner template or two to the talk page of every article you create. You may or may not assess the article at that time. This allows various bots and users to find your creations. Speciate (talk) 21:38, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

I have nominated one of your recently created articles at DYK and there are some questions that have arisen in which your knowledge of the article sources could be of assistance. Could you take a look at Template:Did you know nominations/Margaret Cousins and add your thoughts about the hook wording or an alternate hook if you have one in mind. Thanks. --Allen3 ^talk 12:05, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

thanks very much! I've commented at the nominations page. Dsp13 (talk) 13:16, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

I've got my grammar school list up now, at List of English and Welsh endowed schools (19th century). I guess any attempt to describe the unreformed system is going to be messy, for reasons explained in the lead.

m:Meetup/Cambridge/16 for the next meetup, 28 October. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:30, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

thanks for both of those: re the schools, I've added some redirects to help see which of the redlinks there were real, and some queries on the talk page. 28 October is half-term, but I hope to come if we're not away.Dsp13 (talk) 15:35, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the editing. I wish I had a slick answer about what to do with the list, which isn't comprehensive (no pun intended). Plenty to do with those schools, and perhaps other lists will be needed in future. Category:Ancient grammar schools of Cheshire, an oddity, shows up the problem.

Fairly tangled. A trawl through the ODNB makes it clear that post-1860 there was a London Review, though possibly failing. The individual notability of some of these seems troublesome, but of course the inclusionist line that they all are is reasonable. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:35, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

I think I'd make that page title about the 1829 one - short-lived but well-documented and the effort of a fairly well-defined intellectual grouping - and have a (disambiguation) page for this list. Timperley misdates Cumberland's 1809 effort, which leads the Waterloo Directory (to which I have academic access at the moment) to misunderstand what he says as being about the European Magazine. As you say, fairly tangled. Dsp13 (talk) 21:12, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

So I have now created Oriel Noetics which was worthy in its own right. I came to much the same conclusion as you, and will try to find out more about the 1829 London Review. Charles Matthews (talk) 10:46, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Rather a lot of matters arising as I chase up the Noetics. Several come from Henry Taylor (dramatist): the Leslie Stephen biog in the DNB on Taylor, an associate of his father, is somewhat tantalising. George Taylor the father of Henry Taylor might be notable: radical sympathies, and reported I believe to the 1832 Royal Commission ([1]) but more needed. Two women from the Henry Taylor biography look notable: Isabella Fenwick via the Wordsworth connection, and the daughter Ida who is in the ODNB as a biographer. Richard Whately and Nassau Senior both need attention, certainly. Charles Matthews (talk) 12:15, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Taylor's pretty sui generis - but then I find I always think of Victorian dramatists as that. I'm not sure the article's right to call his Stateman a satire - it's unlike anything else at the time, but I think had some serious intent, as an effort (& yet another way of claiming to be Baconian!) to describe how administration actually happened. I'll have a shy at one of the redlinks you suggest. Dsp13 (talk) 16:24, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I assume the Statesman was the Yes, Minister of its time. By the way, this list is all 600 names from the Dictionary of Nineteenth-century British Philosophers, some of which can be done from the DNB, and some of which are on your redlinks list. Have a good Xmas. Charles Matthews (talk) 14:12, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

exactly very approximately 100 redlinks left on that list! We'll see what we can do about that. Merry Xmas to you. Dsp13 (talk) 09:54, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Have a great holiday season!
