Re: Failsworth
Hi, sure I'm happy to explain.

In heraldry of England and Wales, coat of arms are not granted to towns, cities or other territories - it's a misconception. They are granted to people or bodies of people. The coat of arms on Failsworth was never granted to Failsworth, but to the former (i.e. it was abolished in in 1974) Urban District Council. To put it in the infobox as the coat of arms of Failsworth is a misappropriation of the arms (a breach of heraldric regulation for the College of Arms), confuses our readers even more so, and is (very importantly) a breach of copyright law.

Infoboxes are not (wherever possible) meant to have images that are protected by copyright. Coats of arms are sometimes suitable for inclusion in an infobox, provided that they are free-to-use (usually meaning they have been drawn by a graphicist). The arms you placed in the infobox not only removed an image of the town (which I'll come to), but placed a copyrighted piece of artwork into the infobox.

The infobox (that is, as I perhaps should've explained, the small table of facts in the top right corner of the article), has a set of agreed-upon standards of use, to ensure consistency across Wikipedia. They are found at Template:Infobox UK place. The static image field is for landmarks and skylines, and should be set to 240px.

Re the other edit that was reverted out with the edit, if citing a source, please use one of the Citation templates. It helps to sustain the source, aid our users (and editors) as to where its come from, and ensures a consistent and professional layout.

All complex stuff I know, and I do apologise, but hopefully that helps rather than hinders. :) --Jza84 |  Talk 00:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I have already raised this on Talk:Failsworth. But to elaborate further, per WP:UKCITIES, there should be a paragraph about a settlement's founding and history in the lead. Woodhouses was amalgamated by law into Failsworth in 1954. See Limehurst Rural District. --Jza84 |  Talk 00:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't say Woodhouses is not an appropriate article to create. I think it could be a good one for you to go for if you're interested? Take a look at Milnrow and how it handles Newhey - the situation there is pretty simillar. I hope that helps. I have made some minor amendments to Failsworth about the Medlock and M60. :) --Jza84 |  Talk 00:40, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Chronological list of saints and blesseds in the 20th century‎
Your edit-- in part, the part of adding flags-- to Chronological list of saints and blesseds in the 20th century‎ is forbidden by Wikipedia policy.

Please (1) remove all the flags or (2) undo the edit. I hope you will just remove all the flags since the words are fine. -- Carlaude (talk) 19:19, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I have undone these edits afterall. Many or most of the text links were to the football teams of those nations, not the nations themselves (or say, the churches of those nations).-- Carlaude (talk) 21:20, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Salford Parishes
Hi Anthony, You will find that most of these Parishes have had their churches rebuilt at least twice and usually on totally different sites each time, for example St Mary's, Levenshulme is onto its third church and each one was located in different parts of the district. St Augustines Parish was founded in 1820 and has been housed in a total of four different churches on three different sites, however all the sites were within a relatively small radius of each other and personally I would think that the Parish only needs one entry. and personally I would think that each Parish only needs one entry. If we began putting in a seperate entry for each incarnation of each church then it would not only get unusuably long but also very confusing. With St Augustines as it is one of the earliest and most historically significant Parishes in the Diocese, I have been planning to write a Wikipedia page of its own at some point in the future covering St Augustines Parish.

Bishop Alfred_Seiwert-Fleige
Hello, you are a member of the Wikiproject Catholicism.We would appreciate your help. Please take a look at this article about the catholic bishop Alfred_Seiwert-Fleige. Users deleted sources and tried to force their anti-catholic POV on it. They banned many people that tried to add sources. They didnt block me or Eastmain, but they deleted our sources we gave too. It appears that they don't like this catholic bishop.

Best version until now with 13 sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alfred_Seiwert-Fleige&diff=343039227&oldid=343037941

And after deleting the sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alfred_Seiwert-Fleige&action=historysubmit&diff=343481960&oldid=343039227

(At first they had planned on deleting the whole article but it didnt work)

Check out at the information on these other wikipedia articles about Seiwert Fleige and compare them to the info that is on there now. You will notice that its quite the oposite:

Catholics
I have reverted a number of your edits, such as those in Darron Gibson and Patrice Evra, since their religion is not mentioned anywhere in the article. Please add to the main body of the article and provide reliable sources before you attempt such categorizations any further. Thanks a lot! Have a nice day. Craddocktm (talk) 15:04, 14 September 2010 (UTC)


 * FYI: WP:BLPCAT. Would appreciate it if you can stick to WP policy.Craddocktm (talk) 15:11, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

No offence, but we need to be strict about the sources we use, especially on Biographies of Living Persons. According to WP:BLPCAT, "Categories regarding religious beliefs... should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question; and the subject's beliefs ... are relevant to his notable activities or public life, according to reliable published sources." Also, WP:BLP says, "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." So I'm afraid I have to revert your edits in Darron Gibson, since the sources never directly say he was catholic. The closest thing we have got in those sources is that he attended a catholic school. That is plainly not good enough. We MUST have RELIABLE SOURCES that directly says he is catholic. And please write complete sentences and edit at the appropriate section.

Scholes
Let's sit down and discuss the banner you put up in the Discipline section of Paul Scholes. Are you trying to say the word should be replaced with another "more appropriate" word? Can you give any suggestions? However, what I feel we should do is remove the word altogether. According to WP:ASF, assert facts, including facts about opinions—but do not assert the opinions themselves. That Scholes' tackling is "poor" is necessarily an opinion and hence it is inappropriate. In fact, no matter what word you change to, it would similarly contravene WP:ASF. If somebody says his tackling is poor, we can write in the article that his tackling is poor in the eyes of that somebody, but not that it is poor. Therefore, I strongly propose reverting to my edit, which is, to dispose of the word and the banner all together.Craddocktm (talk) 13:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I suggest that there should be no POV wording use and the line should be edited to something akin to:

"Scholes' tackling has drawn criticism from figures in the game such as Arsene Wenger..."

Agreed? (Anthony of the Desert (talk) 14:01, 12 October 2010 (UTC)).


 * Can't agree more. In fact, I think that was the edit I made. :D Craddocktm (talk) 14:16, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Would you mind making the change? I am busy working on a new article right now.Craddocktm (talk) 14:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
