Hi thanks for the undo on Nancy Cartwright..another edit conflict gone wrong :( ...--Cometstyles 13:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi - your edit on the Bomedliad etc section was a good one - lists are not advised I know (theyve been there since before I got involved).
Can I ask you to be patient today about me getting in that data I've been compiling RE the empty sections? I'm only asking as I'll be attempting them anyway when i'ts done, so I don't want anyone to waste any time removing them fist. After the new stuff is in I'd like your input, and would be happy if you move things around afterwards - I'm not a hog, I'm just trying to make a better article. --Matt Lewis (talk) 17:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I've declined the speedy tag you placed on Talk:Cliff Richard/Comments. The reason I declined it is because it is a subpage of Talk:Cliff Richard. Since the Cliff Richard article exists and isn't about to be deleted, the subpages of its talk page can't be deleted unbder CSD G8..

Hi, I see you have been removing the dab tag from many letter pages. I have been used to adding "cleanup" where a dab page needs it but this doesnt seem to work with a letter page once the main dab has been removed in favour of the letter dab sign ... is there a way that I am missing?

I have just reverted two edits by User:Shakehandsman who is as you know make a couple of significant edits to the Tottenham Hotspur F.C. page. I have suggested he takes the most recent to the Talk page to gain consensus could you take a look, Thanks Tmol42 (talk) 22:08, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Asking someone who shares your views on an issue for input/support is hugely undesirable at best and can be considered canvassing. If you want opinions on a matter you need to ask people with differing viewpoints. --Shakehandsman (talk) 22:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for responding to my letter. Sorry about the User page, I forgot where to go. Excuse: time was running out on safe anonymous big city library computer-- from which I discuss things like Minitoke, because if the tobacco oligarchs are willing to "snuff" 5.4 million/year of their faithful devoted slave customers (WHO Feb. 2008 estimate) what will they do when they find a real "enemy" out here? For the same reason I would certainly understand if you are anxious about helping Wikipedia get embroiled in any really important challenge to the hot-burning-overdose marketing empire.
Meanwhile, having kept no copy, how do I access the former draft for a Minitoke article, in order to assess the shortcomings and get started on a correction?Tokerdesigner (talk) 02:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I have reassessed this article as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. We are currently revisiting all listed Good articles in an effort to ensure that they continue to meet the Good article criteria.
In reviewing the article, I came across some issues that may need to be addressed; I have left a detailed summary on the article's talk page. As a result I have put EastEnders's GA status on hold. This will remain in place for a week or so before a final decision is taken as to the article's status.
I've left this notice here because, from the article history, you have been a significant contributor. If you no longer edit this article, please accept my apologies and feel free to disregard this message ;)

I have removed the ((prod)) tag from DVD releases for 2008, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. I have nominated the article for deletion instead; the debate may be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DVD releases for 2008, which overrides the need for a ((prod)) tag. I have explained my reasons for doing this in my nomination. Thanks! -- Atamachat 16:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Can you please go back to your Ecopedagogy article, which you helped create, and re-write it using language appropriate to a general audience? The terms you are using are far too technical, and as a result the article is generally incomprehensible.
Also, since you seem to have an interest, you may want to edit the Richard V. Kahn and Steven Best articles when you have some time, to provide more proof of the subjects' notability (see WP:N and WP:BIO for help with that). As it stands, I don't think those articles will survive a deletion review. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 16:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring the cats to James Allen (Formula One commentator). I can't believe the article had no cats for over a month and nobody noticed! Thanks again. DH85868993 (talk) 12:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Steve, I don't know why you chose to intervene on the centrifugal force page. I can assure you that centrifugal force has got one meaning. The version which you restored is manifestly false and there is not a single textbook which will back up the statement that centrifugal force is a term which applies to two different forces. David Tombe (talk) 13:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Stephen, Thanks for clarifying that. What I'm doing now instead is I'm working on the wikified version and changing small parts of it to remove the inaccuracies.
You say that you are not a physicist, but I'm sure that you are capable of understanding these two key points. I'll explain them to you.
(1) Centrifugal force throws something outwards. That something knocks into something else.
The wikified version was trying to teach the view that the knock on effect whcih is also called centrifugal force, is a different force.
I'm trying to adopt the broader view that there is only one centrifugal force and that the knock on effect is just a knock on effect.
It is most confusing for readers to read in the first line that centrifugal force is a term applied to two different forces. Its the same as arguing that the force of a book pushing on a table surface, due to gravity is different than the force of gravity acting on a book.
The equivalent would be to introduce gravity as a term applied to two different forces, one which acts on an object and the other being the knock on effect when that object hits something else.
(2)The other objection to the wikified version was the fact that it gives the impression that centrifugal force is restricted to circular motion. It can in fact occur in any kind of curved motion.
I was trying to generalize it.
My most recent version before it was reverted by PeR (who reverts everything that I do, yet never voices his own views) was designed to be short and to the point, yet mentioning all the key points. Alot of the details can be discussed in the main article.
I think that alot of this problem stems from the fact that last year, I had a prolonged debate with PeR and Henning Makholm over the issue of whether or not centrifugal force was real or fictitious.
I don't think that they have quite realized yet that I am not objecting to the wikified article on those grounds. That was an old argument.
I am objecting to the fact that the concept of two centrifugal forces is double talk to appease two conflicting opinions on the issue. That is not how the matter should be handled. It is better to present the true facts as are agreed by all and then to state that a controversy exists regarding whether centrifugal force is real or fictitious. But unfortunately some of those who believe that it is fictitious don't even want to recognize the fact that another viewpoint even exists. David Tombe (talk) 10:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Stephen, I'm writing to you with regard to this edit, which removed my comment regarding the form of the newly announced Blake's 7 series. The reason why I made this edit was that the "Television" section which the sentence was in, talks of a previous revival attempt which was "set 20 years after the original series had concluded". Since this newly announced series is not necessarily the same as this attempt, the article should make it clear that this may not, in fact, be a follow-on series, but might instead be a remake (along the lines of Bionic Woman, Doctor Who et al.) If you have a better suggestion of how to phrase this then please let me know, however I do think the article seems to imply something that isn't (necessarily) true in the way it is currently written. Kidburla (talk) 22:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi I hope this is the right place to post and contact Stephenb. At the help IRC channel they told me I can contact by clicking "new section".
I'm quite new on Wikipedia and english actually is not my native language.
But I found an interesting (english) website containing nicely written articles about the Beatles. So I thought I'll post it in the Wikipedia article. I don't know why the link I posted (something-books.com) was being stated to be spam...
Actually they do have interesting information on their website, take a more intensive look inside the menus and read all submenus of "about the beatles".
There are intersting articles and information about the Beatles I have never read before, not available on wikipedia either.
That site has a shop, and I understand that if a website has stuff to sell maybe that could be a reason why it could be considered to be spam. But the only big thing they sell is an impressive book they published. In fact, as far as I can tell, that book seems to be the most detailed Beatles discography with every record ever released in every country (not cheap though...)
Maybe I'm wrong, but since I'm a big Beatles fan myself I find that website contains valuable information for Beatles fans, so it brings some value if posted in the Beatles article.
If I was wrong about that link than I'm really sorry, but I don't understand...
best regards,

I was given a warning about the 'This Guy is a Jackass' page. I didn't create it. In an attempt to prove this, I've gone to the page to check the logs, and found out you weren't the deleter, so why have you given the warning?. I'm confused. I understand this might sound like an attack on you, which I apologise for, but I don't understand why this has happened. Dragon909 (talkcontribs) 15:50, 13 May 2008

LemmeyBOT is this. Apparently the multiple edits by the anoymous user included him adding multiple sources then breaking them.

Hi. I undid your change to the Charles Dickens article, but then found this which could be argument in favour of your change. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not there is a "strong national tie" in this case. Personally I'm not sure why you silly Brits have such an infatuation with the letter u (and conversely seem so afraid of poor old z) but maybe that's just because I'm a stupid American and don't know any better. :) Cheers, --UC Bill (talk) 15:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Stephenb. I hope you don't mind me asking for your thoughts on notability here (rather than the THFC talk page) which has been troubling me for a while having tried to develop a 'sensible' list of notable THFC players [2]. I was prompted by your recent edits of the THFC page. I agreed with your recent edits of former players re their notability with perhaps the exception of Neil Sullivan who is recorded on soccerbase having had 81 app for TH and was debatably at least the Scottish no 1 Goal keeper for most if not all the period whilst at the club with 13 caps. If we dropped him we should prune a good few more I think. I'll be honest I struggle with what is 'notable' having watched from the touchline the recent debate on the Arsenal list. I don't favour only those with 100 plus (league/all) apps, nor listing all players but equally recongnise that drawing the line below this is nigh impossible when those perhaps achieving more notability appearing as internationals than having done so by playing for TH. Also do we need two versions of notability for the respective THFC main and player list pages or just one? Any thoughtsTmol42 (talk<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/navpop.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&dontcountme=s">) 12:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

There was no "citation" on whether Terry Pratchett is the most shoplifted author, just a quote that is repeated on every article - google Terry Pratchett and look at the results. Every article mentions it but does not give any evidence of where they get the information source from, if you can find that source then yes put it back. Riveira2 (talk) 17:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC) Riveira
There was a citation - whether or not you think the citation was valid, it said "HIS best-selling fantasy books have made him millions, won him countless awards - and the dubious accolade of being the most shoplifted author in Britain.". But next time you decide to remove such text, do it more carefully, please. Stephenb (Talk) 19:27, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia's definition is: A citation or bibliographic citation is a reference to a book, article, web page, or other published item, with sufficient detail to identify the item uniquely. There was no sufficient detail in any article such as The Scotsman article used or the countless others that use the same quote, just because enough articles and references said that Bob Holness performed the sax solo on Rafferty Street didn't make it true, and it was years before that urban myth was quashed. My removal of the text had no bearing to the poor grammar in the preceding sentence, but yes I agree it was the end of the world that I may have let a sentence end with a comma rather than a full stop. I can see nothing else when comparing versions but I may be wrong. I am human thus fallible.
