John Magee

The statistics you mention on vocations would need to be sourced. In the meantime, the original edit has been restored on the basis of the official statistics published by the Vatican in the Annuario Statistico for 2005.

Only part of that edit was mine i.e. I changed the reference to " bishop's sore knee" to "medical problem with the bishops knee". At no time did I make any reference to statistics. Is it possible that someone else could have done this? Ulysses54 11:37, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

West Bromwich Albion

Cheers for your update to West Bromwich Albion F.C.. I'd never thought about the official terminology for the crest/coat of arms before. I guess the description on the image page itself (Image:Westbromcrest.jpg) should also be updated? Regards. --Jameboy (talk) 21:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ulysses54 what specifically do you need help with? ϢereSpielChequers 11:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

OK. Is this just a problem you have with Wikipedia articles or generally with other Internet things? I find I have to reboot my PC occasionally simply to clear out the memory of various Wikipedia pages that I've been editing - so rebooting your PC might fix this. Paisley is a fairly large article at 31k so if you are on a slow line you will find it takes time to open and save Philip Tartaglia should be quicker. ϢereSpielChequers 12:48, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ulysses, did those problems go away or are you still having difficulty editing articles? ϢereSpielChequers 18:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

No improvement, thanks - I think it's my server. Ulysses54 (talk) 11:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ulysses, if you are still having problems there are two workarounds worth trying. firstly instead of editing the whole article by clicking the edit this page button at the top of the screen, you can edit individual sections by clicking wherever the word edit appears in blue. Secondly each of those articles will have a talk page, if you explain what changes you want to make there you may have someone else come along and help you. ϢereSpielChequers 12:44, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ulysses, I've noticed you've edited the Bishop, so hope all is OK now. ϢereSpielChequers 15:05, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Donald Mackintosh VC

Hi Ulysses, its always a good precaution when linking names to check who the article is about, Donald Mackintosh is a chap who died before your Donald Mackintosh became Archbishop. What we normally do in those circumstances is leave the name with the first article, create other articles with names such as Donald Mackintosh (Archbishop) and then "pipe" them in articles by doing this [[Donald Mackintosh (Archbishop)|Donald Mackintosh]] so they appear as Donald Mackintosh. We also have some messages to put on the first article to make clear that there are other people with the same name - if you've got the info to write an article for the Archbishop I'll put the appropriate note on Donald Mackintosh linking to it. ϢereSpielChequers 14:46, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi WereSpielChequers. Not sure what happened there. When I clicked on Donald Mackintosh on the Archbishop of Glasgow page I got Donald Mackintosh VC. I attempted to edit but was foiled by the slowness of my server again. Ulysses54 (talk) 09:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ulysses, I suspect your server is picking up an old copy of Wikipedia and then not letting you edit if there has been a more recent edit. Have you tried editing sections? If I'm right you should be able to edit a section of an article such as Archbishop of Glasgow#List of bishops of Glasgow if that section hasn't been edited in the last few days. If you have info to create a bio for the Archbishop just click on the redlink on your page and you should be able to create the article. Also while we're talking about Archbishop of Glasgow is beneficies a Scottish Ecclesiastical term or a typo for benefices? ϢereSpielChequers 11:23, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi,WereSpielChequers. I suspect that "beneficies" is a typo. Ulysses54 (talk) 09:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

ϢereSpielChequers is wishing you Seasons Greetings! Whether you celebrate the Winter Solstice or Xmas, Eid, Diwali, Hogmanay, Hannukah or even the Saturnalia, this is a special time of year for almost everyone!

Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:User:WereSpielChequers/Dec08}} to your friends' talk pages.

Happy Xmas Ulysses ϢereSpielChequers 09:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello Ulysses how are you doing. Thank you for your contributions on WikipediaBlack Reign 56 (talk) 00:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Gallagher

The article before didn't cite one reference, so i added refs and removed the stuff that wasn't in my sources. Remember wikipedia is only as good as its sources. It is pretty easy to do, don't be afraid to show where you get your information. If you don't know where your info comes from then it shoulnd't be added (WP:RS, WP:V). I think the article should make a distinction between the 'sept' and the surname - you've kinda blended them into the same thing again. Not every "Gallagher" today is going to be a descendent of founder of the sept; and the article is really about the surname ("Gallagher (surname)"). So i think a section on the surname (etymology/stats and stuff) a separate one on the sept (geneagical origins and history and stuff). Anyway that's what i think.--Celtus (talk) 04:49, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Gerry Rafferty edit

I wanted to say you were correct about the "lifelong alcoholic" sentence being incorrect, and I should have thought of that before changing your edit. Cheers, Trista (cannot log in at work) 24.176.191.234 (talk) 20:56, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
