User talk:Liam Braithwaite

Hi Liam Braithwaite,

I noticed you have created several  new VERY useful  categories. Just wanted to thank you for doing  this. Ottawahitech (talk) 01:22, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Meaning of word 'child'
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines a child as "a human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier". Ratified by 192 of 194 member countries.

Please do not use categories in a misleading manner. By common definition, Category:Child businesspeople should only include people who started their own business (or were executive-level businesspeople) before they turned 18. People who were merely paid employees before turning 18 aren't "child businesspeople", even if they subsequently started a business after turning 18. Yworo (talk) 21:30, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Category changes
Please do not move companies into Las Vegas, Nevada categories unless they are know to be in the city. The metro area is not the same as the city. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:25, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Welcome! a little belatedly
Interestingly, you haven't gotten (or kept) a "canned" welcome on this page, as I kept for example, here.

You've also blazed quite a trail in recent days. Overlapping with my own (narrower and more occasionally expressed, Wiki-wise, but deep) interest in matters New York financial.

I have of late taken it upon myself to encourage "red-letter" editors to "get the red out" if they/you're willing, by setting up some minimal-or-more ... user page. Just click on the red "User page" tab above .... Even just leave it blank; once it's saved, it'll show up "blue" on history pages like this one (where appears a link to your private co. increment to Advance Publications' page, for which I thank you. My increment at Advance (coming out of Penn State, if you're curious; Advance owns the Patriot-News which has broken a lot of the story) immediately preceded yours; which in turn is what brought me here.) I think the blue looks better (no politics included; I still don't know which is which, state-color-wise). My own user page (click blue "Swliv" below) has grown slowly ... until(, again,) of late .... But it's always been a good "pivot point", I've felt, ... in the process.

I somehow don't think you are "ratings-driven" (as, no, you may not be User-page driven) but I'll draw your attention to the "Page view statistics" link at the top of the history page, in case it somehow interests you. (Click on the blue '"Page view' link in the previous sentence to go direct.) I've been rather seduced by the "feedback loop"; but I'm driven by news in most of my edits, which doesn't seem to coincide with your motive/source of knowledge. (Thinking now of the few of your edits I've looked at, I don't recall any with sources. None have struck me as "lacking" per se, but I will add a gentle word of encouragement in the direction of footnotes where ... you can provide them. They're part of the Wiki ethic, for sure.)

Well, with that, welcome again and thanks again for your contributions. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 01:13, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I am curious how you happened to catch that missing "s" at Advance, a day later, if you care to share. To share, click edit on this section, add say a double colon for a distinguishing (tab-type) indent. For future the vertical bar "|" after the "s" is vestigial I think. Also, that kind of edit's a good one to tick the "minor edit" box on, ... part of edit summary (below) kind of ... refinement(/ethic). Happy T'g. /:-) Swliv (talk) 16:48, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Not using edit summary
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to JetBlue Airways. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. --JetBlast (talk) 03:04, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:English financiers


A tag has been placed on Category:English financiers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 "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.
