Hey

I love wikipedia and like editing but I'm still quite teh n00b so haven't got round to creating a user page, sorry about that.

Yeah, I'm from Didsbury but I'm afraid I don't know enough about the City Council to be able to provide that much assistance.

Vandalising

Categories

Is it possible to change the text that appears in a category? I've got a list of acronyms in a non-wikipedia wiki all as Acronyms/TLA (or whatever the acronym is). They are all in the category Acronyms, but I just want the text after Acronyms to appear in that category (so in the example, just TLA to show up). I know that I can order them by typing [[Category:Acronyms|TLA]], but is there a way to get rid of the leading Acronyms/ infont of the TLA?

Thanks! Thegraham 12:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I've never seen that done, but it may be possible to modify your MediaWiki installation to support it. Please try asking in the MediaWiki IRC channel on Freenode. Cheers, Tangotango 12:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I saw your posted warning on this user's talk page, and thought I'd let you know he/she is at it again. —Skope (talk) 01:33, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes

The funny thing is, I've added that userbox to the work wiki as well. Muhahahahaha. Da-rb 17:19, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Merge Tags on non-notable councillors

... and I've reinserted them. I'm not keen to move them to AfDs as if theres more information to add to them then it could become contentious ("They've already been deleted"). I've explained why I think that your reading of the Manchester Councillors decision was wrong on their talk page. JASpencer 09:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Councillors

Please stop making silly accusations on my talk page. Firstly I have been merging plenty of Liberal Democrat nonentities as well as Labour nobodies. Secondly I can't recall a single incident where I've put a redirect for one of these articles. An apology will be gratefully received, although hardly expected on your past form.

Private Schools

The issue of Mr Bradley's choice for his son's education was an important factor for electors, which is why I have reverted it. It is NOT vandalism

WP:CVU status

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Thegraham! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 943 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Sue Murphy - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. M. Afzal Khan - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Speedy deletion nomination of Con Keegan

A tag has been placed on Con Keegan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

This was voted to be deleted but the closing admin seemingly forgot to delete it.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
