The Civility Barnstar | |
Just following how old RMs closed. I was going to say anyway (the above is coincidence) that the way you responded was exemplary. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:07, 17 February 2013 (UTC) |
Hi Francis - can you help please? Ta! DBaK (talk) 10:19, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
World Digital Library Wikipedia Partnership - We need you! | |
---|---|
Hi Francish7! I'm the Wikipedian In Residence at the World Digital Library, a project of the Library of Congress and UNESCO. I'm recruiting Wikipedians who are passionate about history & culture to participate in improving Wikipedia using the WDL's vast free online resources. Participants can earn our awesome WDL barnstar and help to disseminate free knowledge from over 100 libraries in 7 different languages. Please sign up to participate here. Thanks for editing Wikipedia and I look forward to working with you! SarahStierch (talk) 20:32, 23 May 2013 (UTC) |
Hello. I noticed you moved the above article. I'm interested in whether you did this as some greater decision about naming of such things, of which I am obviously unaware, or whether it was one done on your own initiative? Has it been made to make the naming convention consistent across other UK dioceses in the CoE? Many thanks. DDStretch (talk) 22:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
(conflict) Stop, stop, STOP! Church of England dioceses which have no counterparts do not need disambiguating! Their names do not involve the word Anglican because they do not need to – they are established in the land in which they exist. If you want to change Wikipedia policy, then start a discussion. Until then, kindly desist. DBD 22:49, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
You have been asked to stop and to discuss. Your continued non-compliance will only get you a ban. If you absolutely must continue your vandalism now, then be my guest – I would much rather wait 'til the morning and clean up all of your mess in one convenient purge. DBD 23:09, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
I really am not happy now about all of this after looking into it. I originally asked whether the changes had been decided upon somewhere else, rather than being done single-handedly by a single editor's initiative, and the reply I got was "Thank you - this is not taking place by action of a Bot - but through different editors. Check through editing history to see who is making these changes. ". However, on looking at the move logs for such dioceses, I see that this was a lie, because almost all the moves have been done by this talk page's editor. So, my direct message to this editor now is this: given that you lied to a direct question from me, and I am an administrator, then unless you stop, *I* will take steps to issue you with a ban. DDStretch (talk) 23:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Many of these dioceses you have moved were originally established as Roman Catholic dioceses which at the Reformation they became Anglican ones. To call them by either denomination would be wrong. The other dioceses do not need to be disambiguated because there are no another dioceses of a different denomination with the same name. Making a one off bold move may be acceptable, but making mass moves is not. You need to discuss this with other editors and see if a consensus can be reached. – Scrivener-uki (talk) 23:53, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Frank. I see you've removed "Roman Catholic" from the bolded names in three dioceses' ledes. In your edit summary you dismiss the inclusion of "Roman Catholic" as unnecessary disambiguation. I have un-done these edits because your assumption is incorrect – this is not disambiguation at all. Rather, each diocese is overwhelmingly known as "Roman Catholic Diocese of ..." – i.e. that is its WP:COMMONNAME:
(In fact, both Middlesbro and Hexham's official websites loudly proclaim "Roman Catholic Diocese of ..." – and Hallam's prominently features "Catholic Diocese of Hallam.") DBD 14:12, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Francish7. Could you please make your proposed changes to the lead of the article on the talk page first, to see if consensus exists. The material is rather controversial. Thanks. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 12:21, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Good day, Francish7. I undid your recent contributions to the article on Justin Bieber because they seem to be passing judgement on the subject rather than simply stating facts, backed by citations. I realise your edits are in good faith and the subject's behaviour attracts huge media coverage, but we should surely refrain from expressing an opinion not attributed to a reputable source.
Kind regards

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ormesby may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 16:54, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi-the North Dakota law regulates what is a city in that state no matter how big or small the community is. There is nothing in North Dakota state law about hamlets in that state. Please take your concerns to the Leith, North Dakota talk page-thanks-01:19, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
The unitary authority refers to the council, therefore the LGD with the unitary council is known as a unitary authority area. This term is not interchangeable and is the standard phrase used on most of the unitary authority area articles, in the lead. Would you revert your revert?

Hello! I don't know if you're aware but there is a wikimedia meet up in Leeds this Saturday (14 June) if you're interested. Hopefully you can make it. Regards IJA (talk) 17:27, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Berwick Hills, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Park End (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I saw your comment re bias in the article on William Branham.
I have done a lot of research on the subject of William Branham and agree with your comments. I would certainly be interested in helping out with improving this article if you are so inclined. Taxee (talk) 17:22, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Hello Francis,
You're very quiet on Wikipedia at the moment. Are you OK?
Best wishes, DBaK (talk) 15:37, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
I’m very well thanks – I hope you are too. You may know that I have contributed to several pages related to the Democratic Republic of Congo – including Basankusu. I am actually living and working in Basankusu at the moment. We have a satellite link to the internet at our house, but it is so slow that it takes two hours to upload a two minute YouTube quality video. I’m very busy with projects for malnourished children, schools for orphans and wheelchairs-bikes for people who can’t walk because of Polio … that’s all on top of my day job. I raise funds by making videos and taking photos and publishing them on facebook, YouTube and Blogger. You are most welcome to look at my stuff … friend me if you like, but no obligation – my pages are open to everyone to view. Wikipedia comes a bit down the to-do list for the moment … it’s difficult to open more than one browser page at a time. Can I just say how pleased I was to see you message and that you’d taken the time to think about me – I’m really impressed! I have had a little look at Middlesbrough/Teesside pages now and then (and Guisborough Priory of course) – maybe I’ll get back to it eventually. Best wishes Francis Hannaway (talk) 17:59, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing, whether it's a river in Malawi, a Nigerian footballer, or a South African civil rights activist, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. For those of you who signed up to the North African contest, that will hopefully be held in the new year. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello you just reverted my edit on Middlesbrough as the largest settlement. Can you please reference how this is the largest settlement given it is part of Teeside. York borough is bigger 208,000 and Middlesbrough is 174,000. It's obvious york is bigger than Middlesbrough. Provide source saying that Middlesbrough is the largest then. Or I'll revert the edit back to my one. TarzanBoy24 (talk) 17:39, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Right okay TarzanBoy24 (talk) 19:36, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Doug Barrowman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page British (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Besides your edit being wrong, you shouldn't use edit summaries to insult a group of people. Doug Weller talk 09:49, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
The original edit was unreferenced. Reference to "King Tut" is primarily, and always has been, American. National Geographic in particular, uses the expression. However, it's not in common use in spoken English, rather it's a space saving device for newspapers. The BBC, although not originally American, has a big broadcasting presence in the television world in the US. I can only think that Radii 4 is becoming lax in following the American erosion of the language. I would prefer the edit to say "also", or "sometimes" used, but "commonly" is pushing truth too far.

Hello there! Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There's a meetup in Leeds on Saturday 4th May 2024, at the Tiled Hall Café at Leeds Central Library.
You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of WikiProject Yorkshire, you've expressed an interest in a previous Leeds meetup years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)
I plan to organise more in future, so if you'd like to be notified next time, please say so over on the meetup page.
Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – spread the word! Hope to see you there.
