Hello! I've translated Poisonous pedagogy from the corresponding German article. I had one open issue, described on the talk page. Chonak 02:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

I don't know whether I can just jump in and offer some insights. I have not read all the conspiracy theory pages as yet, however, I am convinced that most of the conspiracy theories have a nugget of truth in them. I for one know for a fact that the 1969 Moon walk did not take place, perhaps in California, but not on the moon. I was on duty at the BBC in London when all this was supposed to take place and recorded that they did the take off and landing simultaneously, and the sound recording probably came out of the BBC studios.

The Vietnam war and the bombing of Cambodia was something America wanted to forget and what better boost for the American morale than supposed Space conquest.

I spoke to one man whose father was an engineer in America at the time, and he told his son "it did not happen".

Therefore I believe that conspiracy theories are political ploys to placate the masses.

I like your interest in Women as Theological Figures. The da Vinci Code proved that women as theological figures have been vanquished since the males realised that a few could control the many through religion, and they are not likely to relinquish that power.

Enjoyed chatting.

Hi. I see you;'re adding some stations. Could you check out the format and links on some of the existing stations, and maybe follow the established pattern? Links from UK railway stations - C, for instance, point to existing station articles. Thanks. --Tagishsimon

Thanks for your questions on my talk page. I apologize for not responding more promptly, but I was away from Wikipedia for a while due to some personal issues. I don't have the time to fully answer your questions here, but, if you haven't already, I'd suggest asking at the Help desk where someone can help you better. Good luck! – Jrdioko (Talk)  03:08, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

RE: Women as theological figures
Hi there- I noticed your plea for non-Western religion contributions on the Buddhism talk page. I've got a very rough sketch of a structure for the article as a whole on one of my scratch pages- take a look at User:Spasemunki/temp2 if you're so inclined. In terms of naming, I was thinking that maybe 'Women in Religion' was most appropriate- my personal bias is against using 'theology' since my primary intereset is Buddhism, and we're sort of short a 'theos' (I have seen 'Buddhology' used for consistancy from time to time, which I remain a bit ambivalent about). I'm wondering if you think what I have whomped together should start a seperate article, or if there is some good way to incorporate it with what's already on the WATF page. I'm sure that the Christian and Muslim sections are a bit pathetic, but it's mostly meant as a 'proof of concept'. --Clay Collier 11:15, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I was just thinking of removing this from the G-E translation request list (as the German article is just a series of interwiki links) and adding it to the E-G translation request list - is that OK with you? Saint|swithin 14:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Jackiespeel, long ago you were active in editing this article and even asked about its 50th anniversary. You may be interested to know it is a Featured article candidate now and we hope to see it up on the main page on 23 Oct.

WikiProject Former Countries
I would like to invite you back to WikiProject Former countries. You were previously a member of its former incarnation WP Historical States. The objective of this project is still to improve the content and accessibility of articles on former countries. A taskforce for the states of the Holy Roman Empire has also been started and the child project on Prussia has also been revived. This restart is still in its early days but it would be great to have you back. - 52 Pickup 18:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Le Palais du Thés
I've added the "prod" template to the article Le Palais du Thés, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Le Palais du Thés. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. — Mi ra  08:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Ruthenium (II) tris (bathophenantroline disulfonate)
You have requested cleanup of Ruthenium (II) tris (bathophenantroline disulfonate) Can someone translate this into something approaching English? Jackiespeel

I have read the article and I found it well written. Maybe it uses specialized language, but I consider that such kind of words should be common knowledge for someone who is looking for information about Ruthenium (II) tris (bathophenantroline disulfonate).

I have tagged the article as "insuficient context". If consider this is not applicable please modify it.

Will whoever wrote the above please sign it. The article does not make sense to anyone who is not familiar with the subject (as someone else has added)

Conservapedia
Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. Please refrain from doing this in the future. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. VanTucky (talk) 18:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Centre for Future Studies
A tag has been placed on Centre for Future Studies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD a7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. ARended Winter 15:28, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of AIM25
A tag has been placed on AIM25 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Skeleton in the Cupboard
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Skeleton in the Cupboard, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 22:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

The main reason I have given on the PROD is that Wikipedia is not a dictionary - articles need to be more than just the definition of a word or phrase. Also, articles need to quote reliable sources to back up what they say. JohnCD (talk) 22:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

See my comment on the talk page. As with Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells sometimes a dicdef can be developed.

As the phrase is used regularly - and is the title of an episode of Yes Minister - there should be something on it - or at least a redirect to the relevant Wiktionary page (which itself could be expanded).

I made a section on Jainism as you requested, but as of right now it's pretty small because I could only think of three.

Unless you can find a secondary source which includes such information, it would be considering original research and in violation of Wikipedia policies. Redfarmer (talk) 21:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I did not mean to offend you. However, the talk page of the article has been used for discussion before and, in all honesty, you didn't say anything about wanting to incorporate the information in an article-you simply said it was a passing observation.

Proposed list of political disasters killing multiple leaders/elite men etc
I think the idea you floated at the air crash talk page is a good one. It won't be a long list, but that might not be a downside. I'd suggest something like these qualifications:
 * Died violently at a single event, limited in time and space.
 * At least three "leading men" (king, royal heir apparent, queen, leading noble, minister, top brass military man, president, PM etc) dead.
 * Õccurred in peace or (if in wartime) at least not through a deliberate military operation. Definite coups, revolutions and rebellions excluded: they nearly always claim deaths of this kind.

What the?
Hello. I see one of my userpages User:Lozleader/lcc has been deleted/and or moved to mainspace as List of members of London County Council 1937-46. It looks like this was done at your request? I wish you'd asked me first, but no harm done.

It is still very much a work in progress (the aldermen, party strengths and so on need adding). I would suggest the article name should actually be List of members of London County Council 1937-49, as those elected in 1946 remained in office until 1949. Also it makes sense to make a break at that year as the 1949 LCC elections were conducted on the new boundaries introduced by the Representation of the People Act 1948 (which also changed representation to 3 councillors for each electoral area instead of 2)Lozleader (talk) 12:23, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

They appeared to belong in the List of LCC... series - so confusion understandable: could you put in whatever link between the List... series and your page is appropriate.

I am developing the London wiki - www.london.wikia.com - and will do pieces on any LCC members I find sufficient information on (presently getting details for the LCC leaders), as probably more appropriate than WP. If you wish to copy and paste betwixt and between the two wikis, do so. Jackiespeel (talk) 14:00, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Leonell C. Strong
There isn't any place where there's a single list of all the possible categories that one can consult, unfortunately. Rather, all I can tell you is the same thing I told PinoyVeggie — one way you can find the appropriate categories is by checking our articles on similar topics (e.g. another person you know of in the same occupation or occupations); another way is by browsing the category tree from a general topic (e.g. since you describe him as a cancer scientist, you can start at to see what subcategories exist for particular kinds of scientists and whether any of them fit Strong or not.)

But alternatively, please do understand that the categorization tag isn't meant as a personal tap on your nose. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and articles with maintenance issues are placed in project queues that a lot of people work on. So if you just don't know what the right categories are, it's perfectly okay to just leave it in the categorization queue so that somebody else can find the right categories for you. You're welcome to fix it yourself if you can, but you don't need to feel like you have an obligation to do so — if you don't already know how to fix it, it's perfectly okay to just leave it tagged in the queue for someone else to fix.

Hi Jackiespeel, I've argued for a keep, possibly speedy keep, on National Archives of Austria. And I see you've been around for many years, far longer than I have in fact! However, please slow down and modify your article creation. Articles should not have notes in them asking the reader - or fellow Wikipedians - to go hunt up sources or to consult foreign-language Wikipedias. That's just not what one expects in an encyclopedia. Please create a new article with at least one source - there is usually one you can take from the foreign language article - bold the name of the article in the first sentence (and make it a full sentence, not a fragment!), and set off the official website with the ==External links== heading. That way - especially the reference - new page patrollers are far less likely to jump on you, and an unfinished article that is more notes than exposition does a disservice to the topic as well as causing patrollers to freak out. The interwiki thing, which you have requested others to do on at least one talk page, does scare some people, but it's not so much hard as newfangled: at the foreign-language article, click on the link below the existing interwikis in the sidebar (it will say in the local language the equivalent of "add links"), then click "add" on the right under the list of existing linked articles, type in "en" in the left column and accept it by clicking when it fills in "English Wikipedia" underneath, then type in the title of your article in the column to the right of that and when the "save" in the foreign language appears to the right of that, click it. You can then back out of that mess in your browser, it's done. I'll try to clean up, expand, wikilink etc. your recently created articles, but I have limited time and I hope others will also help. Please take this advice when you create further new articles, so they can be safe from deletion challenges. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:34, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * And here's a follow-up: Please don't use wikia or other open wikis as a reference. The text may be free to copy, but it is not a reliable source. I forgot to note that I removed one such reference when editing one of your articles to give it footnotes, and I now see from a posting by you at the user talk page of the editor who's nominated your articles for deletion that information on such sites is an impetus in your creation of the articles. That's fine, but please use only reliable sources here. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:20, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hoylake Urban District


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Hoylake Urban District requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Urban districts
Hallo Jackie, I've seen a few of your UD titles while stub-sorting, and have just spent a bit of time upgrading Runcorn Urban District. I see that someone else has worked on Bollington Urban District, and saw your discussion of Hoylake.

Could I suggest that while you're creating this useful set of articles on the old UDs you expand your basic format so that it makes a better start for the article? It would be so much better if you had a copy-and-paste template which included some of the improvements which have been made to those articles, from the start, rather than lots of other editors finding individual articles and spending time upgrading them individually along much the same lines.


 * Make a proper leading sentence: "X Urban District was ..."
 * link urban district
 * link to the placename, Runcorn or whatever
 * give a good source. Have you seen |Vision of Britain? (See my latest addition to Runcorn) It traces the history of local govt areas (though doesn't say what happened post-1974, in this case at least).
 * Add the appropriate categories: see Bollington Urban District
 * perhaps add the appropriate stub tag - etc

As you're working county-by-county you could recycle a lot of the material quite easily from one article to the next, and make a much better article for just a little more work on your part. How about it? Happy Editing. Pam D  09:28, 2 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I've just upgraded Camborne UD, to show you my ideas. Pam  D  09:40, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

I've just seen Urban districts formed in England and Wales 1894–95. Am I right to think that you are simply reproducing the information from that table to create your stubs? You do realise that Wikipedia is not considered a "Reliable Source"? Pam D  18:19, 3 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I've left a note at Wikipedia_talk:UK_Wikipedians'_notice_board, not mentioning your name, to invite other editors to work on upgrading these stubs. Pam  D  10:47, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Burke and Wills Historical Society


A tag has been placed on Burke and Wills Historical Society requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from www.burkeandwills.org. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. 78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 17:38, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ethel Everest


The article Ethel Everest has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not even a suggestion of notability; notability is not inherited

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Having read the book: there is some interesting 'obscure history'; Nikolai Chebotarev (not to be confused with Nikolai Chebotaryov) is one of the 'interesting persons in the margins of history' the author's family history is 'slightly unusual' and there is a certain amount of 'creative history and supposition.'

Nikolai Chebotarev
I am a historian of Imperial Russia. The book, "Blood Relative" had been recommended quite some time ago. I have interviewed the author several times. I have investigated his finding to be both valid and extremely accurate. Other documents away from his finding have also been found. This is a very extensive story around many individuals. I am currently working with the historian at Clandeboye, speaking to Lady Dufferin's private assistant. Lady Dufferin is very hard of hearing now. There is quite a bit of historical findings at Collon as well. Most Americans have no fancy for research and investigations. I have met Glenn Meade who also has researched this find. Have you found there were Nikolai Chebotarev is buried? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harry Binkow (talk • contribs) 07:29, June 25, 2015‎

Road content
Here it is! Sorry for the delay, I forgot :/ --Tone 17:14, 18 July 2019 (UTC) Mavelstone Road is located in the Bickley area of the London Borough of Bromley, a major suburb of Greater London.

This residential road dates from early in the Edwardian period. It is notable because, although it is located in one of the wealthier areas of one of Greater London’s more affluent suburbs, it remains unpaved. This is due to its unadopted status; i.e. the borough council is not responsible for the road's maintenance. Because of its poor surface, it is relatively untravelled and is something of a backwater that has escaped the attentions of developers. As a result, Mavelstone Road has retained an unusually high proportion of its original large early 20th century residences, & its character led it to be designated a Conservation Area by the London Borough of Bromley.

Examples of such residences are ‘Stotfold', 'Manor Place' and ‘The Mount’. Although these buildings were converted from single-family homes into flats many years ago, they are externally largely unchanged. It is noteworthy that 'Stotfold' (built in 1908-9) is a grade II listed building and is also on the statutory list of buildings of architectural or historic interest.

Both Mavelstone Close and Mount Close were developed in the middle 1950s off Mavelstone Road; houses in these roads are typical of that decade's style, however many are being demolished & replaced with larger houses constructed to meet market demands. Park Farm Road, which adjoins Mavelstone Road, is also unadopted and unpaved. It too has some fine examples of Arts and Crafts Movement residential architecture.

Braintree and Bocking/Braintree and Bocking Urban District
I'm wandering what should be done with the unparished area of Braintree and Bocking, although every parish is normally notable Bocking is now a suburb of Braintree so I'm wandering if instead the Braintree and Bocking Urban District should be re created? Walton and Weybridge redirects to Walton and Weybridge Urban District for example.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 20:00, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
