I notice you're writing a lot about "constituencies" in the London Borough of Hackney. Isn't the term really "wards"? David | Talk 19:55, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Why not Brownswood (Hackney ward)? David | Talk 22:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Names
Just curious as to why you talk to me as "Steve" when my name is David. David | Talk 22:23, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hackney North and Stoke Newington
Hi - I removed the information on representatives of other constituencies because we have other articles covering them. The article on Hackney North and Stoke Newington should focus on the current constituency, with perhaps a brief summary of the area's earlier representation. If you think an article covering the history of representation of Hackney would be useful, perhaps it could be included in an article on the politics of Hackney or even the history of Hackney. Warofdreams talk 18:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Carlsberg
Hey. I removed your probably reference from the lead section on Carlsberg, for two reasons; 1. It's not very encyclopedic and 2. we can't expect all users reading the page to understand the joke. Thus, it can easily confuse the reader. Drop me a line. Prolog 19:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Tewksbury
Please don't take offence, but it looks to me that you don't know that disambiguation pages are formatted differently from article pages - disambiguation pages have their own manual of style. The idea is that anyone who reaches the Tewksbury page won't be looking for Gloucestershire or England, so only the possible "Tewksbury"s should be linked.

It's only fair that I should explain to you why I have reverted your edits to Tewksbury. CarolGray 08:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

W. S. Gilbert: Double quotes vs. Single quotes
I'm not sure which is more correct between things like "fairy comedies" and 'fairy comedies'. The first looks a bit better to me, but I was raised in America (even if I live in Britain now) and British punctuation is preferred on British pages. Is this a standard I haven't noticed? Adam Cuerden talk 16:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Important to know these things, because the American/British divide on punctuation &c has so many little semi-obscure bits that it's hard to keep track of them all. And I fear I''m probably a horrible mishmash of the two as yet. Ach, weel! Adam Cuerden talk 14:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Hackney South and Shoreditch
I just set up ward pages for the south of the boro' (for completeness, if it was somewhat tedious). Since I'm now blind to the results of my cut and paste, I wonder if you could run a critical eye over the articles, should you have a chance. Cheers. Kbthompson 09:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Stoke Newington
I have a question. You just added the category "People from Stoke Newington" to Anna Laetitia Barbauld. Is the category defined as being born in Stoke Newington or just living in Stoke Newington? I thought those categories were "born in" categories and Barbauld wasn't born in Stoke Newington. Just want to be sure. Awadewit Talk 11:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Hackney Labour Party 06.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Hackney Labour Party 06.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Hackney Labour Party 06.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Hackney Labour Party 06.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:27, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Recent edits
Please do not remove categories from article, as you did for multiple British 1st Armored Division lists. Please do not add to the top of categories. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you. --Hemlock Martinis 19:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Natland (ward)
First, please don't directly edit closed deletion discussions; they're maintained as a historical record. As for the state of the article:
 * 1) If you don't have new material right away, but would like to work on the article at your leisure, I can restore the article in your user space as a subpage.
 * 2) Alternatively, if you actually do have an expanded, more thoroughly sourced article on the subject that meets notability guidelines, you're welcome to re-create the article; substantially different content that addresses the concerns in the deletion discussion, especially content that is backed by new sources, is not bound by previous discussions that applied to the old material. (However, repostings of substantially similar content that was deleted by AfD are speedily deletable.)

Do either of these options work for you? — TKD::Talk 22:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Lists of members of parliament
Hi Jed, I see that you have been adding MPs elected in the United Kingdom general election, 1959 and a series of articles to Category:Lists of members of parliament.

These articles are already categorised in, which is one a series of sub-categories of Category:Lists of members of parliament. Adding the articles to a parent category so far up the tree is regarded as a form of overcategorisation, so I am areverying your changes. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I have nominated List of London Borough Labour Parties, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/List of London Borough Labour Parties. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 20:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London


Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Speedy deletion of River (ward)
A tag has been placed on River (ward), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (talk) 20:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Blendon and Penhill (ward)
A tag has been placed on Blendon and Penhill (ward) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -Zeus- 19:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Blendon and Penhill (ward)
(A7 (bio): Doesn't indicate importance or significance of a real person)

Not exatlcy certain why a new geo-political stub got deleted, is this a mistake? Jed keenan (talk) 11:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi there; you have asked me if deletion of this article was a mistake. The answer is no, it wasn't. While major politicians are obviously noteworthy, it is normally recognised in wikipedia that notability does not extend down as far as local councillors, unless they have some distinctive achievement or attribute to their credit. Similarly, constituencies are obviously notable, and County and District Councils,and a good case can often be made for Boroughs. But individual wards tend to fall below the notability level. Please feel free to discuss this with me if you are not happy. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 11:37, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

A few points of comparison and illustration.
 * Adams County, Iowa - Only half the population of this geo-political division and so twice as likely to be deleted?
 * List of wards in Greater London Work in progress of a comprehensive geo-political profile of Greater London.
 * Category:Wards of the United Kingdom - Again a work in progress but pretty substantial only because it hasn’t fallen foul the test of relevance.
 * Hackney North and Stoke Newington (UK Parliament constituency) - Parliamentary constituencies all sub-divide into separate villages, towns, and neighbourhoods each with specific characteristics and histories some with their own wiki presence such as Blendon but some without such as Penhill or represent only a division of a greater area such as Stoke Newington Central (ward) and so have a identifiable identity of their own.
 * Wards of the United Kingdom - The primary unit of electoral democracy decides the representatives spending on average £1,000,000,000 per annum and is not an unimportant figure when valuing a wiki presence.
 * Tony Blair - Ex-primeminister and many others Charles Clarke the current thorn-in-the-side of the UK government front benches were Councilors so that the narrative arc of a career of most noteworthy national politicians start in places such as Blendon and Penhill (ward).

I have moved this onto your talk page to keep the thread together.

I do not understand your comment about Hackney North and Stoke Newington - I have already said that constituencies are notable. And I do not understand your comment about £1,000,000,000: you seem to be saying that this is the average budget for a Ward, which is clearly not the case and I am certain that this is not what you meant. Finally, obviously Tony Blair, Charles Clarke et.al. are notable; but they were not automatically so when they were only local councillors. I have personally been a local councillor, but would not consider myself encyclopaedically notable! --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 19:52, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I say again, politicians (or anyone) who become famous and notable start out initially NOT being famous and notable; and they only deserve wikipedia articles when they become so. Is your comment regarding millions of pounds sterling a round figure estimete of the Council Tax values of properties in the ward? Because it certainly bears no relation to the precept, and I am unclear what sum you are looking at. If you really wish to pursue this point, may I suggest that you take it to WP:DRV? If community consensus supports you, that's fine with me. If not, so be it. Incidentally, I am an ex-councillor, but canvassed for many years; I never counted the total! --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 21:15, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Julia Stent‎
Julia Stent's up for deletion. Personally I think that it should be a redirect, but as you've contributed most of the actual text you'll probably have an opinion on this.

Speedy deletion of Emily Ovenden
A tag has been placed on Emily Ovenden 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 23:11, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
