wikify! I am sick and fed up with people who leave a message here about an article and fail to provide a wikilink to the article. How do you expect me to read the article if you don't link to it? I reserve the right to ignore any message which does not provide links where appropriate or has not been signed with ~~~~. Even if the article has been deleted, you should still link to it. And if that sounds like a grumpy old man, it's because I am ...
Hello Mr Haworth, I am the author of Musical Stones of Skiddaw. Great to hear you grew in Kendal (I was born and bred there myself and still live there) I hope that I have done all you instructed me to in order to get the entry published; I've added info to images, tagged myself as the author and made loads of links in the text. I would be grateful if could you check it for me. Best wishes Jamie Barnes JJ-Barnes12:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello again. I just like to say thank you for your guidance, as the stones entry has now been published by Wiki. Best Wishes JJ-Barnes22:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC) Oh - and the ears you asked about in the picture you linked to, they belong to a stuffed fox, pretty cool ay?
GB/UK
Hi, you changed UK to GB on the commons template {{Oscoor}}. I don't mind, but it makes me curious what the definition is here. I tried to read up on British Isles (terminology). Does your edit refer to the Ordnance Survey or to the grid? Surely the O.S. is a national agency for all UK and not only for GB? Is the grid served by the Oscoor (and Gbmapping) templates only applicable to one island (GB) and not to Ulster or the Channel islands? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LA2 (talk • contribs)
The edit refers to both the Ordnance Survey and the grid. Please read British national grid reference system and Irish national grid reference system. There is one grid for Great Britain and another for the island of Ireland. It has been on my todo list for over a year to change the resource which oscoor calls to accept Irish grid refs as well but I am still waiting for the round tuit. As you can see from the maps, the Isle of Man lies within the GB grid; the Channel Islands lie outside both. Have a look at (vanity link! to) geograph which is collecting photos using both grids. -- RHaworth20:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I am pleased to present you with this Round Tuit. I saw you were lacking one, and feel it is only fair to provide you with one. I would love Ireland to be incorporated too. :) Fiddle Faddle10:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Done. But oh dear, we have lost support for region:GB and thus have lost links to the really useful stuff such as old-maps and geograph. Come back egil - all is forgiven. -- RHaworth08:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
We can't about an article, and if someone chooses to link out, then that is a choice. Misplaced Pages does allow HTML FYI. The website it linked to was not Commercial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cxi105 (talk • contribs)
I deleted it because it was a crude {{copyvio}} from http://www.fogster.com/listing.php?id=100045 . Also it was written in an hopelessly unencyclopedic tone which led me to believe that you were a representative of Gulf Harbour and were trying to advertise here. Same probably goes for anything else of yours that has been deleted. -- RHaworth09:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Mr. Haworth,
Congratulations on finding my Fogster posting. It is also copied directly from
http://www.MrSWFL.com/GulfHarbour and then I added HTML references to link back there. It is a source to tell people about a neighborhood that I live in. What is commercial about that.
Since you are the apparent self appointed authority of Misplaced Pages, would it be possible for you to make a suggestion of how you would like it worded. *1*
In my years of problem solving, it is easy to tell people what needs to be fixed, but it is a little harded to try to educate them as to how to fix it.
Any suggestions?
I am curious though...if it follows your rules, what if a posting does not follow someone else's? *2* — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cxi105 (talk • contribs)
*1* You seem to have absolutely no sense of English style - is English your native language? An article which contains amazing ... premier ... true destination, whether it be your home or your home away from home within its first paragraph is not exactly encyclopedia material is it? Now read this carefully, I will say it only once: find at least two Misplaced Pages articles about places such as Gulf Harbour; make sure that each article has been edited by at least two different people; read them carefully noting in particular their style and tone. Now re-write the Gulf Harbour article, in your own words and in the same style. Is that difficult?
*2* If a posting does not follow someone else's rules then that someone else can put it through one of the many deletion paths available here. -- RHaworth00:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to apologise. Of course Im not fussed if it stays or goes - certainly we dont want to encourage users create work-in-progress pseudo-articles that have 7 worthless rows of exact text (good call on that!)... but, as it was only created a few hours ago I thought I'd AGF. When I saw it was you that in fact tagged it I was surprised - as Im not sure Ive ever seen a sysop tag an article - after all the tag is somewhat foreshadowed by your special ability to do the speediest speedy delete of all! :) In hindsight, if you concur I'll move it to the creators userspace (where it should be anyway) and delete. Thoughts? This was a rather longwinded apology for the mix up, so in short; sorry once again! Glen05:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
No it looks fine now - I assume it is "notable". I very rarely delete articles on my own initiative. I feel very strongly that even speedy deletions require two people: a user to propose it and an admin to agree and execute it. Since no-one had touched the article, I put myself into "user" mode to propose deletion. -- RHaworth05:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, English is my native language. You just seem to be too stuck in your own rules and ways of thinking to ever really understand why others do things or see things different from your perspective. This is unfortunate in your case, because you are probably past an age of change. Being open to new ideas is what shaped the world we live in...from Columbus "knowing" the world was round, or Ford having the idea of the assembly line, or even Space travel. Perhaps those are far reaching examples, but it is clear that you are stuck in your ways, and it is doubtful that will change. 3 books that may help open your perspective: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews, and Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki. Each offers some fresh ways to look at new things, inspire confidence, and have lessons that can be extrapolate into other areas of life. I would say that I highly suggest them, but that would not matter to you, but scores of others suggest them as well.
The truly wise realize how little they understand!
Since you are the wikipedia maestro I will surely take your words of wisdom into account when writing any future articles. I will model entries after others I read, and hope it does not cause Narcolepsy in readers.
ganganic philosophy
Dear Mr. Haworth,
I'm asking you why you deleted my contribution about ganganic philosophy. At www.gangan.org you can see that the ganganic comunity is starting, now we are more than 200, I can ask all our members to write you.
Please don't consider non sense our movement, we have alredy many intellectuals, also on donwload.com you can find our music. Also Vauro, one of the biggest caroonists in Italy made a drawing for us.
Please consider my opinion and undelete my article.
I think that everyone can have its own opinion, my I think has a sense, like your.
You can contact me directly at marko@gangan.org.
To delete Ganganic philosophy as "nonsense" was, I admit, a bit dismissive. Thank you for giving me better grounds for deletion: a) non-notable - a community of 200 people is unlikely to be notable, b) pure vanity - you invented it, c) unverifiable - no references were provided to "peer reviews" of your philosophy. My advice, as always, is wait: when ganganism becomes notable, someone else will write about it here. But if you really want to be humiliated, you can take the article to deletion review. If you want people to look at your website, provide a link: www.gangan.org is not a link, http://www.rhaworth.net/ is a link. -- RHaworth18:20, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
