Andrew Radford
Hi DBD, I didn't want to mess with your user subpages, so thought I'd just leave you a note that Andrew Radford is now a disambiguation page. It used to redirect to Andy Radford, the bishop. Cheers, Storkk (talk) 15:37, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

 * The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
 * Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
 * The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: 
 * On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status.

New formatting for Infobox Christian leader
Hi DBD! Just to make you aware, the formatting of honorific-prefix and honorific-suffix of Infobox Christian leader have been adjusted so that they are now inline with other person infoboxes (IE small and not bold). That means the pre-nominal styles template is only needed if they have multiple titles and if used, needs to have  set (otherwise it makes it very small!). I've been slowly making my way through various bishops etc to correct this, but there are a lot to go through! Any help you can give with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 01:09, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, right. Thanks; I'll try to remember and amend this as I go along (which isn't frequently these days!) DBD 08:41, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Richard Blackburn (bishop), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page St Helens ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Richard_Blackburn_%28bishop%29 check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Richard_Blackburn_%28bishop%29?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: Who's Who links
Hi Dan, I did not know that when you leave the comma after a Who's Who link: http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/article/oupww/whowaswho/U######, it makes it not work. From now on I will use the Template:Who's Who. It's not what you know, its who you know All the best Basher Bashereyre (talk) 16:24, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Re: Forenames
e.g. Roy Sinker. Mate, I do the research on common names (and red link them in templates) so you don't have to. I find it incredibly frustrating when I then find you've reinserted an unused forename when I'd redlinked the common name for you! Come on, mate. DBD 16:03, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Sorry old pal
A Barnstar for putting up with me! PS Have found some more obscure ones. Will do my level best tofind the common name but newspapers before about 1950 don't usually give Bill's Pete's etcBashereyre (talk) 17:20, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries, old fella. And if you can't find a common name, dw; it only really bothers me when I've already done the work and redlinked the subject from a list article or navbox :) DBD 19:46, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
