Bradley Stoke

Hi Ian. I give up with the Bradley Stoke page. Could you have a look please? Bunch more problems today. Regshaw (talk) 16:32, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Just a tiny bit out of hand then. Done, Ian¹³/t 10:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ian - yes, very much got out of hand. Thanks for stepping in - much appreciated! Thanks for pointing me to the right place to report abuse etc - wasn't sure where to send it. I know now :) Regshaw (talk) 21:32, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Email - The Joker

While changing my username at WP:CUN from William Saturn to William S. Saturn to honor the late Hunter S. Thompson, a vandal user stole the name before it could be changed and sent emails to other users, I am not aware of the contents of the emails, but I was notified of this at my request at CUN. The username was then usurped. I have no connection to the emails.--William S. Saturn (talk) 16:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I was rather puzzled since you seem to be an editor in good standing. I'll send you a copy if you like! Cheers, Ian¹³/t 16:42, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Sure but I don't have the e-mail option turned on. Could you post it on my talk page?--William S. Saturn (talk) 16:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm guessing "the joker" failed in his attempt. --William S. Saturn (talk) 16:49, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I can only assume so :) Ian¹³/t 17:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

You around again?

I've just started being active again. Spotted you editing a watched page I have. You back? Computerjoe's talk 19:29, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Exams for the year finish next week, but yea I'm trying to be more involved again! You're still here, which represents quite a long time. I think a reread of all the policies will be in order soon. Ian¹³/t 12:23, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Wise move. I guess the five pillars are the same. Anyway, have fun Wikipediaing. Computerjoe's talk 12:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Michael Jackson

You added the "reportedly dead" stuff to the article which I think is good. However I don't think you should have changed the banner or added the "died" bit in the infobox as they seem to suggest it isn't actually "reportedly". Alan16 (talk) 22:33, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I didn't add the infobox or the banner bit. However, as with all events, we are an encyclopedia and report whatever has the most evidence. We can't verify anything other than through reliable news sources (else, everyone is only reportedly dead), and I felt the LA Times to be suitable reliable. Yours, Ian¹³/t 22:36, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

BBC, CNN, Sky, AP - these are a hell of a lot more reliable than the LA Times or TMZ and they are not confirming it. The majority of evidence says unconfirmed. I just think that adding the info to the infobox and the banner changing are a bit pre-emptive and suggest it is confirmed. Could you perhaps remove it from the infobox or add some sort of note? Alan16 (talk) 22:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I was going to add {{current event}} to the top, but the BBC News 24 confirmed it at 22.44 UTC, and therefore I have left it as is. Ian¹³/t 22:47, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure. Fair enough - I was fairly certain that he is dead, but until it was confirmed I thought it went against the "reportedly". Regards, Alan16 (talk) 22:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC).

Danny Wallace

Hi Ian, I have added in a new photograph to replace the image of Danny Wallace that you took at an event last week. This was at the request of Danny, who likes the picture, but thinks it is a bit too blurry. The picture now on his wikipedia is his official photo. Message me with any questions.
