Alan Coren (and welcome)
Semiprotected articles can only be edited by usernames 4 days old or older. Semiprotection is mostly used for articles that receive a lot of anonymous vandalism all of a sudden (for example, because Stephen Colbert mentions them). It appears that something like that happened to this article in June. Since it has been a month, I unprotected the article, so now everyone is able to edit it again.

Since I am the first person to post on your talk page, let me welcome you to wikipedia. If you have any other questions or problems, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 21:15, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much Carl (CBM · talk) --Frank Ness 05:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Alan Coren Date of Birth
Frank,

I noticed that you were involved in a bit of a dispute about this.

Just to advise that I've checked the GRO birth records (which are the definitive source of information as to when somebody was born), and they show him as having been born in 1938. Whilst other sources may disagree, the fact that his birth was registered in 1938 proves those sources to be incorrect. Mayalld 14:18, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Very helpful, glad to see this was resolved. We will miss Alan. --Frank Ness (talk) 21:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Pseudo-orders
Frank,

are you member of order, supposed to be "pseudo-order"? If not, I don't understand you... Please, explain, why you tagged Cathegory: Pseudo-orders and article Pseudo-orders for speedy deletion? Can you cite any sources, why is my article bad? Maybe you can help with this work.Yopie 16:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I would agree with Frank, the sub-category as a duplicate of the section cliental pseudo-orders in Chivalric order should be deleted. User:Yopie, always assume good faith when editing. Remarks about other editors behavior are unhelpful. --Sannhet (talk) 00:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Mr Yopie's a grumpy bear. :-) --Frank Ness (talk) 21:35, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, but why you don´t use discussion page? Yopie 14:50, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:166 Grumpy Bear.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:166 Grumpy Bear.jpg. 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).

 * For the record, the whole point, I thought, about "Grumpy Bear", is that he is grumpy. In the existing picture in Care bears and the List of Care Bears he looks remarkably cheerful and I thought the screen capture I found did the character more justice. Anyway I am now duly repentant, I requested WP:Speedy delete and my grumpy "Grumpy Bear" is no more. --Frank Ness (talk) 21:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
