Cloud Gate
You referenced my uploaded image Image:Cloud-gate.JPG as appropriate for deletion. That's fine, no need to go through formal delete process. I understand the rationale. Spikebrennan (talk) 14:27, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Cloud Gate seams
I have gotten an objection for including a second image of the seams that I think is important. Since you have chimed in on the images and helped us swap one out I thought you might have an opinion. Do you have an opinion on this image.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:58, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Sterick Building
Hello, Since you began the article on the Sterick Building in Memphis, as a courtesy, I wanted to let you know that I've been expanding it a bit. You may want to review some of the changes. Best regards, --Contributingfactor (talk) 16:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Matloub Husayn Ali Khan
Matloub Husayn Ali Khan as I know understand it - was also known as Matloob Hussain. In the Everyman progamme his behind the scene contribution in the form of an essay he had written on the Rushdie Affair helped to change the book seller from Bath Peter Marsh's views and he made a small token gesture to his friendship with Matloub, Siame and Shabbir who were offended - to remove the book Satanic Verses out of his shop window but he still defended Penguin's 'right to publish, the right of booksellers to sell it and the public's right to buy it and read it'.This story came in Evening Chronicle (Monday April 23 1990) and the Western Daily Press (Monday April 23rd 1990. Also, the other Muslim who was not offended by Rushdie initially in the programme - Rashida Punja changed her mind and said that Rushdie was wrong! I propose you hold the deletion until you have seen the programme and then decide. I think this issue is not local, national but international issue - which Matloub or Matloob Husayn Ali Khan helped to bring a greater understanding and tolerance. Even today, he is currently on Radio Ramadhan in Sheffield - just doing what he did all those years ago.--

Deletion of Matloub Husayn Ali Khan
Hello Jeremy,

Following the decision to delete the article on Matloub Husayn Ali Khan (AKA Matloob Hussain) which I feel is not based on just two published articles but as an author in 1990 and TV celebrity in 1989-90 on BBC. Also, pioneering traveller in 1985 as mentioned a book by Mohammed Younis 'My travels' published by book-surge (Amazon books)as an activist. Since 1983-87, prominent Asian Youth Movement activist as verified by Tandana Glowworm archive and Sage publishing circa 2005. Notability is not claimed by the ‘just two published articles in a small community newspaper’ but other cited sources.-- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtuffy (talk • contribs) 23:48, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Highland Park, Illinois
Hi Jeremy, I reverted the edits as being "unsourced content". With this edit that was reverted - although the user simply copied and pasted it from one paragraph to the next, the phrase in question did not have any references to assert it as fact. --
 * I reverted the edit whilst using HUGGLE - which only shows the last 2 revisions. The new content looked dubious and unsourced, and I simply inferred that it was 'vandalism'. I now see the mistake I've made, and i've re-added the content that was mis-identified as vandalism. --

Ladys Bridge
Hi-Jeremy, I removed Category as article did not say its GII listed and when i looked at the Council list (PDF) cited as ref was not on it, as was originaly going to add status to text but checked list first. I let you update article as resident building expert - BulldozerD11 (talk) 00:19, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Paradise Square
Hi - I didn't add the footnote on Pevsner being wrong. I'll check in Harman and Minnis, but I don't know offhand whether or not he was correct. Everything I can find agrees that the big September 1838 meeting was held in Paradise Square. This makes sense, as at the time it was the location for any sizeable meeting in Sheffield. The only other popular location was the Market Place, where the Chartists didn't tend to meet, while they didn't start meeting on the moors outside the town (which would now be well within the city) until later on, when they were prevented from meeting centrally. Warofdreams talk 00:33, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That is interesting. Roscoe Field appears to have been where a "Suffolk Street" was later laid out, but I've really struggled to find its location.  One website suggests this was off Meadow Street, but, if so, it doesn't appear on any map which I can find.  This does seem a possible location for a meeting, as in the 1830s, it would have been immediately west of the built-up area. Warofdreams talk 17:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And actually, looking at the 1823 map you recently uploaded, it marks "Roscoe Place" in an area of new building between Shalesmoor and Meadow Street, so this does look like a plausible place for a large meeting. Warofdreams talk 17:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Help with a 3RR violation
Hi there JeremyA, could you help out by checking out the Sarah Palin article? Among perhaps various other times, user:Ferrylodge has violated 3RR recently, continuously removing a POV tag without consensus to remove, and furthermore, as I said, more than twice within a 24 hour period. He has also deleted material added through consensus between himself and a another editor, as a punitive move (against that different editor, or me, it's not clear) when I restored the POV tag. Please see:, , , , , , , , , ,. There are other such examples, I believe. Ferrylodge has politely refused to compromise on a number of issues, ultimately keeping out a range of well-sourced material. You'd have to read dozens of talk pages to really see it fully, since s/he takes quite an innocent tone and is indeed consistently polite. Here's a relevant talk page or two (or five):, ,, ,. Thanks much for your time! LamaLoLeshLa (talk) 05:01, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to add one more bit of background, regarding Ferry's insertion of sub-subheadings for sing;e sentences in order to render my insertion of subheadings irrelevant.

He also removed this content without consensus - I am not sure if there was or wasn't a total consensus to include the information (some others did agree with Ferry), but I do know that Ferry singlehandedly blocked its inclusion, and I think violated 3RR in order to do so. Here are more relevant links to talk pages:, , most pointedly , and most importantly. LamaLoLeshLa (talk) 17:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Burj Dubai.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Burj Dubai.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:14, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of content on Agora page
Hi,

How come you deleted my entry on the Agora disambiguation page regarding another reference to Agora (the online meeting tool one)? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Agora_(disambiguation)&action=history

Can you please reinstate my addition.

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ludeking (talk • contribs) 08:47, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Sheffield Cahedral
It gives a history of the building, and some description, but does not describe anything in architectural terms. It needs some input from someone who knows about architecture. Amandajm (talk) 14:47, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

deletion of external links
Why have the external links to relevant material been deleted? The archive collection contains materials for houses, projects, and other things mentioned in the article. You have done this to dozens of my entries. I notice other external links are included in Wikipedia that are not related to a reference notation in the article, but are relevant to the material discussed in the article.

thank you. GenariaGenaria07 (talk) 17:26, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, the archives are mentioned in the article; and, again, the materials in the archive link are related to name, places, etc. mentioned in the article. The archives are digitized text and images that are available online, and the finding aid is a document that can be printed and referenced by those wanting more information on the architect.

Thank you. Genaria.Genaria07 (talk) 18:32, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

UPDATE: Never mind. I received some useful feedback from another administrator which has helped. I am new and still trying to understand the rules of Wikipedia. My intention is to be a responsible contributor. Thanks. GenariaGenaria07 (talk) 18:52, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

my additions to Smithfield entry
Hello JeremyA

Thank you for your comments. I have tried to delete anything that might sound like personal commentary about the farrowing crates and sow life cycle at Smithfield. The remaining comments are all factual. Although they may not be happy reading, they are simply observations of a physically real situation, as reported in the cited reference material. Please let me know if I need to make further changes to make my additions more encyclopedic.

Thank you again for your feedback. Wildlifefreak (talk) 19:24, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Do not come in the article only to score a point for your anti-vandalism record. People like you do not create, they just circle around and interfere ! This is not a game, making points........ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.130.205.196 (talk) 08:52, January 29, 2009.

Your block of 78.130.205.196
This IP is not the only one this user has edited with. From examining the edit history of gas turbine-electric locomotive the following IPs have an editing pattern so similar that it's obvious that they're the same person. All of them have edited the Russian section in a similar fashion, and most or all of them have the same punctuation quirk, i.e. adding a space between a word and an exclamation point like in the comment above.

213.91.242.146 79.100.94.17 77.85.83.36 90.154.174.193 87.126.81.252

Also, the edit history of the first IP in that list suggests that all of them may in fact be IP sockpuppets of indef-blocked user Jetwave Dave. Hellbus (talk) 20:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks like his first post-block edit was to lob another incoherent personal attack at me. Shut him down again, would you? Hellbus (talk) 13:24, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

More than coincidence?
I'm posting this on your talk page instead of as a reply on mine so that you're more likely to see it. I don't think the editing patterns I talked about are coincidence, mostly because of this edit. In that edit, 213.91.242.146 left an incoherent rant about DroneZone, one of Jetwave Dave's sockpuppets. DroneZone also had a habit of writing incoherent rants in a strikingly similar style, such as this one. Both of these show an extreme dislike for authority figures. Continuing in that pattern, 78.130.205.196 wrote a similar rant about you, which I further warned him about.

Perhaps CheckUser would be the proper course of action, but I don't know how to make such a request. Hellbus (talk) 22:50, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
