Your comment got my back up and I may have responded in such a way that might escalate a disagreement of opinion, rather than cool it. I imagine that our opinions of this situation will remain different, nevertheless, please accept my apologies. Seraphim&hearts; Whipp  21:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you - of course they are accepted. DuncanHill (talk) 21:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Your suggestion
DuncanHill, your suggestion here was priceless. I had myself a wonderfully satisfying laugh. Thank you! Cheers, -- Simple  Paradox   23:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Please Help ME!
Hi. You were recommended by User:Geof Sheppard to help me. I am creating a map of an underground line which has a branch in it. Unfortunately, i don't know what to do. Can you help me? A1personage (talk) 17:21, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant that you should ask User:Geof Sheppard. DuncanHill (talk) 17:35, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Fellow of the Royal Society|FRS
I didn't entirely understand what I need to do better; and I hope you'll take time to explain in a little more detail. In Hitoshi Narita, you sugggested that I might have done something a little differently. I suppose your explanation was clear enough -- dablink repair makes your articles even better dab FRS to Fellow of the Royal Society -- but I'm not sure I really get it.

Is this only something to do with British postnomials? Or am I missing something with broader applications? --Tenmei (talk) 02:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * DuncanHill -- Aha. Does "dablink" mean "disambiguation link"?   I wasn't really sure that I understood what you meant in using this term; and to make matters worse, when I entered "dablink" in the Wikipedia search box, the sole suggested page is Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant.  I was scratching my head trying to figure out what a Prussian philosopher had to do with a Japanese naval architect ...?
 * Just to be clear, let's see if I understand correctly: The trivial tidbit I think I simply seemed not to grasp is this -- that I simply need to check acronyms in articles I create or edit.  I simply need to remember in future -- when I encounter blue-font letters in a preview scan of text, the link may not be the precise one I had in mind.  In short, it would save time for everyone if  were to click on the link to make sure that a disambiguation page doesn't appear.  Right? --Tenmei (talk) 14:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for reverting the edits on Radio St Austell Bay - I didn't even see them. People who vandalise Wiki like that are so annoying - and this one obviously had/has some connection with St Austell... But thanks again! Pete - RSAB (AKA Infernoradio (talk) 21:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC))


 * No problem - it's on my watchlist so will keep an eye on it. DuncanHill (talk) 17:14, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Help with Gabriel Murphy Article
Hello DuncanHill, I saw you had edited Gabriel Murphy and had contested it for speedy deletion. There are 2 users that seem to have a personal vendetta against this user/article. I think it clearly meets the notability threashold but these users continue to ignore the fact that the article has been re-written with 16 sources of notability. I just created a Deletion Review for this article- could you chime-in on the deletion review log? It is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_June_22. Thanks!--LakeBoater (talk) 17:16, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Please Help on article "Gabriel Murphy"
Hello DuncanHill- you had made some minor edits to the article "Gabriel Murphy" on May 28 of this year. Since then, one user (SoLando) continues to redirect the article to Aplus.net, even though there are 17 sources establishing notability for the article. Someone opened a deletion review on the article and there were 4 overturns (keep the article independed of A+) and 3 endorsements. Nontheless, user SoLando continues to create a redirect for this article. Can you chime in here and help out? Any assistance is appreciated! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.56.199.208 (talk) 13:29, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * As far as I can see the DRV result was to endorse the previous deletion. My only involvement was to fix a dablink - I have no opinion on the article whatsoever. Sorry. DuncanHill (talk) 13:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello DuncanHill- thanks much for your comments and direction on the Gabriel Murphy article. I have taken a considerable amount of time to make sure everything I possibly can is cited by independent sources. I now have 43 total references and I think over a dozen different sources. If you have the time, I would appreciate it if you would review the article before opening a deletion review. If you can review it and leave me a message with your thoughts as to whether you feel it is solid and likely to be approved as a stand-alone article, I would appreciate it.
