You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron

Hello, Jonathan A Jones. Based on the templates on your talk page, I would like you to consider joining the Article Rescue Squadron. Rescue Squadron members are focused on rescuing articles for deletion, that might otherwise be lost forever. I think you will find our project matches your vision of Misplaced Pages. Note:Keep in mind that Squadron members officially state they are not inclusionists. ~~~~

St Augustine's High School, Redditch

Hi Jonathan A Jones! An article you have been involved with has been tagged by its parent project as needing either a little attention to style, updating, or further development. If you can help with these minor issues please see Talk:St Augustine's High School, Redditch, and leave any comments there.--Kudpung (talk) 01:54, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Restored material on Libertarian page

Hi, I think on balance you are probably right; it is a limited statement and the source does (mostly) support it. However this sentence "Several prominent libertarian politicians are in the Conservative Party" really does need a source. Please consider rewriting or removing that sentence or providing a source for it. Many thanks. Setwisohi (talk) 18:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Seen the change. I think that that is better. Regards Setwisohi (talk) 10:04, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar

		The Photographer's Barnstar
		For twice going out of your way to take photographs to improve Buildings of Jesus College, Oxford (about a rival college, indeed!) a barnstar is humbly offered with my thanks. Bencherlite 16:13, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

your view

I respect your view of course, and certainly understand it. May I ask though how much experience you have had with the working of Arbcom? I would not want WMC to be Arbcom for a minute, he would only be one vote on the committee but the current mix of indecision, and inability to be a bit more abrasive when needed with people who deserve it, makes a lot of the project very mediocre with too much compromise for the sake of keeping contributers at the margins happy. I don't want an Arbcom of Hawks but just one has to improve the quality of the discussion there. --BozMo talk 12:01, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

As you suggest my experience with Arbcom is not huge, but my experience of WMC is substantial, and my true opinion of him is significantly more negative than my comment suggests. Frankly I think the man's a menace, but it did not seem helpful or constructive to be quite that open on that page, especially as I am involved in significant editing of Climatic Research Unit at the moment. I have no problem with hawks, but T Rexes are a different matter. Regards, Jonathan A Jones (talk) 15:36, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I've ticked a box to give you "rollbacker" status, for what it's worth, so you'll notice an extra option in your watchlist and page histories. Probably a good idea to read Misplaced Pages:Rollback feature before you use it, so you know what to do and what not to do with it! Regards, Bencherlite 20:41, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that

I didn't mean to save the picture, only preview it. Thanks for the help in labs today, see you next Thursday. Regards, a wannabe physicist —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.1.52.81 (talk) 21:53, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
