There are a number of banks that aren't in British ownership in that list. Bank of Ireland is there mainly because historically it's one of the main banks in Ireland *as a whole* - and so today it still has its own Sterling Banknotes in Northern Ireland.

If you think it should be removed, many other banks will need removed from the list too. Northern Bank for example, is owned by Danske Bank.

Hey Bill. I don't mind that we disagree over this issue, but I do mind being called dumb. Please don't do that again. Thanks. --Guinnog 08:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Dannii Minogue article
Thanks for editing the Dannii Minogue article, but I do not think that the reference that you added to the article in support of the Puss 'N Boots controversy is a legitimate website that can be trusted. I have again reverted your edit because of this. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thanks. -- Underneath-it-All 19:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Another Civility Note
Many of the edits done in good faith are incorrect. Still, putting something like "utter nonesense" as an edit reason (you deleted Porject Afghanistan from the Battle of Tours) is rude, pointless, and does nothing to encourage our new editors. Granted, that project had no possible connection to the Battle of Tours article, still, your complete incivility is going to get you kicked off wikipedia. When people try, and make mistakes, just tell them, civilly, and lose the attitude of impatient superiority. Stillstudying 14:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I must follow this up by saying that it was brought to my attention that the comment in question was made by a bot, so this was a very wrong posting, and I apologize. Stillstudying 17:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

You removed at least one edit of mine, by reverting with the edit summary "Revert a Whole way back to good version". I have fixed the formatting error you were trying to fix with your revert. --Guinnog 17:37, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

New graph in Down syndrome
Hello. I noticed the new graph you put into the Down syndrome article. It's much more clear and easier to read than the old one, not to mention more recent too. While I realize you placed a citation into the image itself, I hope you won't mind if I ask you to include a footnote in the article itself using WP:FOOT and citation templates so that our citations are all in one place and to a standardized format.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:MAGNERSLOGO.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:MAGNERSLOGO.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:20, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SONS_AND_LOVERS.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SONS_AND_LOVERS.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 07:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
