Radio Five Live

The deletion was requested for housekeeping purposes here by User:Marknew. Ask him what the story is. Harr o5 10:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I didn't request a deletion as such: I requested that the histories of BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio Five Live be merged (to fix a copy-and-paste move), following the instructions at Misplaced Pages:How to fix cut and paste moves. According to that page, an administrator must temporarily delete the article, then follow the repair process. Since I am not an administrator, I couldn't do this myself! Hopefully Harro5 will now complete the process, now that I have told him. --Marknew 13:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

BBC Radio Lincolnshire

Stop posting your incorrect "facts" about BBC Radio Lincolnshire. You clearly have little knowledge of the station or its staff. --Differentgravy 18:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

GUS Band

The article GUS Band has been or soon will be deleted from Misplaced Pages. This happened because the article seems to be about a subject but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles.

Carre's Grammar School

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Carre's Grammar School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Education in North East England

Hi, I noticed that you added a section to the North East England article on education. I was wondering just what you meant by the NE schooling system is completely comprehensive. I can think of a number of traditionally private and selective independent schools in the region, probably as many as in other northern regions. Or am I just being thick, which isn't unusual. There is no LEA that consists of wholly seclective schools I admit. hedpeguyuk 16:40, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Gt Casterton

Hi, What is the basis of your comment that "The parish is shared with Tickencote and Little Casterton". Unless this has recently changed, Gt C is a separate parish (both civil and ecclesiastical). Possibly you mena the benefice is shared ... (i.e. the distinct parishes share a priest). In which case I believe Pickworth should be added.

Thanks,"Ned" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nedrutland (talk • contribs) 17:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC). Sorry - new to this! Nedrutland 17:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Caroline Flint#Personal life

Please provide sources for the paragraph you've added to the above; given that the subject is a living person, and this material could certainly be seen as contentious, as a matter of Misplaced Pages policy these are required, or else the material will have to be removed. Alai 22:50, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits to Scooby Snacks

Thank you for contributing to Misplaced Pages, DinosaursLoveExistence! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Misplaced Pages. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \burbandictionary\.com\/, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Misplaced Pages. Please read Misplaced Pages's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Notability of Spalding Grammar School

A tag has been placed on Spalding Grammar School, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Alex valavanis 17:10, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

September 2007

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Misplaced Pages. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Chris Moyles. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want. — Zazou 22:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Kent

As you know the Education system in Kent is a deeply politicised issue. I have read your analysis and I fail to identify the 25 schools who you refer to as comprehensive- the catholic sector did offer 'Comprehensive' education and Sheppey did and so did the Hoo peninsula. Bennet Memorial was (if I remember right) a CofE secondary modern that called itself a comprehensive for children who had failed the Kent Test. Which brings me to the point- you have not included your references- so I cannot verify. WP:5P.

Misplaced Pages's three principal content policies are Neutral point of view, Verifiability, and No original research. Since they complement each other, they should not be interpreted in isolation from one another, and editors should familiarize themselves with all three. Cite references from a reliable source, especially on controversial topics

Further another editor spends hours of her time copy editing Kent articles adding references where they have been ommitted. This is also serious point , as your work looks like a point of view and original work and is likely to get savaged if you cannot prove otherwise. You also filled out the article on Gwyn- could you provide the references there please. ClemRutter 09:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

North Yorkshire

Thank you for the information on education you supplied on the North Yorkshire article, but it lacks sources. Please could you provide the sources from which the information was derived so that others can check out the details. It is one of the basic requirements of Misplaced Pages to provide sources for material added - see WP:Cite

Paul Merrill

A tag has been placed on Paul Merrill (journalist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

Dorset education

Hi! You recently added education info into the Dorset article. I decided to put it into a sortable wikitable, and noticed that there was no reference for the info, which is necessary for such a lot of data. If possible could you add a ref or find out a weblink/publication title? All the best! Rossenglish (talk) 12:32, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Phil Woolas

Hello,

The source you've provided () does not say Phil Woolas was born in Scunthorpe. Can you explain your rationale for this change or provide a different source please? -- Jza84 · (talk) 14:33, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the swift reply.

Problem sorted! This source seems to do the trick. I'll add it, if you haven't aready done so. Thanks again! -- Jza84 · (talk) 15:05, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Caroline Flint

I have reverted your addition to the above (my edit). I'm sure you know that Misplaced Pages's policy on biographies of living people states that all edits must be completely referenced to a reliable source. If you really think that Flint's sex life is good material for an encyclopedia, then re-add it (I won't edit war), but please make the source crystal-clear. Regards, Mr Stephen (talk) 16:33, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

This text has been floating in and out of the article for several months, and has also been discussed at Talk:Caroline Flint#Sources_for_.22personal_life.22_section. That text seems to me to be of at best marginal relevance to the career of a politician, but even if you take a different view, please do not reinstate it unless it is all referenced to reliable sources. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

West Sussex - Education -

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to West Sussex. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy. Please respect the Misplaced Pages:Five pillars, thanks -- John (Daytona2 · talk · contribs) 20:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hugo Swire

I noticed your edit here. Please do not add information that is not verifiable to Misplaced Pages articles. Thank you. --John (talk) 20:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Copyvio

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. We appreciate your contributions to the Abi Titmuss article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. --Yamla (talk) 19:05, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Abi Titmuss. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Yamla (talk) 19:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

2007 West Midlands Education data

Just wondering, where did you get the top 20 list from? It needs to be sourced in the article otherwise it isn't verifiable. Thanks, Asdfasdf1231234 (talk) 20:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh right, thay's cool. Did you collate all the data yourself then or is it all listed somewhere? If so can it just be put in the article somewhere? :) Thanks, Asdfasdf1231234 (talk) 12:57, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

July 2008

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Misplaced Pages is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Matthew Humberstone School appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. ...... Dendodge .. Talk 20:56, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Linking to off-Wiki images

I noticed that you are making links to off-Wiki images such as these. It's not really a good idea to make inline links like that. I looked at a couple of the images and noticed that they are licensed in way that is compatible with Misplaced Pages. So what I suggest is that instead of linking to them try the following. Go to Wikimedia Commons, see Misplaced Pages:Wikimedia Commons, and set up an account there. Then you can download images such as this or this and using the code (and this) they provide upload the images to the Commons. Then some of the images could be used right in the Misplaced Pages articles rather than linking to them. You can also a template like the one seen at Yellowknife#See also to show where the rest of the images can be seen. Just make sure that the images have a Creative Commons licence. If you need any help please let me know or ask User:Alison who is an administrator on Commons as well as here. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 20:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Chris Moyles

Constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Chris Moyles has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. --Startstop123 (talk) 20:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

External links

I notice several of your recent edits include external links in the body of the article. This really should be avoided, especially if those links add nothing to the article. See Misplaced Pages:External links. If however you are adding these as references, they should be formatted using the appropriate reference tags. Thanks for your contributions nevertheless, hope you bear this in mind with your future edits.Thaf (talk) 14:45, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Club18-30Logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Club18-30Logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

November 2008

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Newcastle University do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Misplaced Pages uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. TubularWorld (talk) 13:44, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages's policy on External linking is very clear, this is an encyclopaedia, not a repository of links. If people want this type of information, they can go to any search engine. --TubularWorld (talk) 14:53, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Ditto above for Dorset youtube link. --Charles (talk) 22:06, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
