Disambiguation link notification for November 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited W. D. Flackes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page South Antrim (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

W. D. Flackes
I made a few edits, some based on WP:IMOS, the Free State was 1922, so I adjusted accordingly. Also removed the cn tag for British. Murry1975 (talk) 14:46, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Privy Council
WP:BLP? What on earth are you talking about? How on God's earth is that a BLP violation? Is saying that they were members of the PC verifiable? Yes, of course it is. Is it neutral? Yes, of course it is. Is it original research? Clearly not. Do we add the category to articles about deceased people who are (by definition) no longer members of the Privy Council? Of course we do. Being removed from the Privy Council does not mean one was never a member of it, any more than being dead does. Like many people who mis-cite BLP as a catch-all to remove things they don't like (almost as common as mis-citing WP:OR for similar reasons), you appear to be using it to push some sort of agenda, although for the life of me I can't work out what it is. Nevertheless, as I have neither the time nor the inclination to argue with misguided editors who clearly don't understand either the letter or the spirit of the policies they cite, I shall refrain from readding it and refine the category when I get around to it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:31, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Next matchday scenarios
Hello! I invite you to a new discussion on the matter: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football. Ivan Volodin (talk) 17:29, 19 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Sorry for disturbing you again. Thank you for participating in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football. I have proposed a conclusion that addresses concerns of many participants regarding reliable sources. Unfortunately, you haven't replied to my questions regarding your position on NOTNEWS, so I couldn't take it on board. But obviously open to further suggestions. Would appreciate a comment.
