Re:Dale Cregan
I agree with you entirely. I have been trying to generate interest in setting out some kind of guideline with these type of articles that goes beyond what we presently have on criminal biographies, etc, but response has been somewhat thin on the ground so far. Meanwhile, these articles continue to appear before anyone really knows what the truth is. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:35, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Reads ok now. I'll find a couple of refs for today's court appearance. Paul MacDermott (talk) 19:27, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

June Anne Devaney
Thanks, I just Googled it and it looks like it could be interesting. I'm logging off for the night shortly, but if you could link me to the article you've submitted, I'll take a look at it tomorrow and do the necessary AFC stuff.

 * Good work on this. I've just read through it and it reads very well. I'll sort out the references a bit later, and perhaps put it forward for Did you know. Thanks for the link, though I'm glad to say somebody seems to have beat me to it. AFC has changed a bit since I used to submit stuff there in 2006/07, so I was looking for it in the old place last night. :) Paul MacDermott (talk) 10:44, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Glad I could help with it. On the disappearance, hopefully the furore will die down now they've been located. Paul MacDermott (talk) 17:04, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Haldanes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Netto (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.

DYK for Death of June Anne Devaney
Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:03, 3 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Mark my recognition is just a small part of the effort of the DYK team. You can see the nomination page at Template:Did you know nominations/June Anne Devaney. It was nominated by  Braincricket, reviewed by TriiipleThreat, promoted and put into the prep area by PumpkinSky.  All I did was put it in the final queue and the DYKbot moved it to the right place. For the answer to your galah question I do not know but I do see wild ones around, they are not vermin and are not nearly annoying as the sulphur crested cockatoo that demolishes anything it can get its beak around.  You could ask at WP:RD/S and hopefully get someone that knows the answer.  Else you could search on Bing or Google like I could. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:03, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Mark. Congrats on getting this to DYK. Had planned to nominate it myself, but glad someone beat me to it as I got caught up in preparing an article for a GA nomination over the weekend and overlooked it.. :) Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:48, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's usually just new content, or an article that's recently been expanded five times that's eligible for DYK, which seems a shame to me because lots of interesting facts like the one you've added get overlooked. What might be worth considering is if there's an example of a notable fire that was started in this way, which we don't have an article on. Hope this helps.

Disappearance of Megan Stammers AfD
Morning. If the double explaining comes from my edit as an IP And as an account the second one (if i'm guessing right) is just more logic to why I have said weak keep. Assuming from your message you have missed that it was an extra reason that I believe it to be a weak keep and not actually a second vote. Do you have any ideas how I can make it more clear that it was an extra reason to what the IP said and not a second vote? It would be much appreciated. CHCSPrefect (talk) 10:23, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * That's good. It was never really a notable event. I suspect an article about the April Jones disappearance will be created here in the next few days. especially now the Prime Minister has become involved. I have added "Disappearance of April Jones" and "April Jones" to my watchlist in case that happens, but I also hope she turns up safely. Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:48, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Blackburn
Hi Mark. I've added full details to the reference you used when you recently made this edit to the Blackburn article. I've also rephrased the sentence you added to more closely reflect the cited source.

I've found a video on YouTube which demonstrates use of the Cite tool I mentioned to you on my talk page. It will make your life a lot easier when adding references. The video is particularly instructive from about the one minute mark onwards. It can be viewed here. Hope that helps. Beejaypii (talk) 13:08, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

The "proper" name of Abu Hamza al-Masri, et al..
I think that his name, properly rendered, is probably simply "Abu Hamza", without a surname. There should had been a hyphen between the two names, which is a secret, hidden one, known only perhaps to Arabs, Arabic-speakers or certain Muslims. To call him "Hamza" or "Mr. Hamza" would probably be the equivalent of calling e.g., a "Jean-Pierre", from France, as "Mr. Pierre" or "M. (Monsieur) Pierre", and it might cause offence. I would refer you to,  and. The person who changed his "surname" over, has a Turkish name ("Cengiz" is the Turkish form and rendering of "Genghis"), and one wonders if this was purely unintentional, or otherwise.

I do not believe that there was ever any evidence to substantiate the claim that he is ever a "naturalised", or a "registered", British citizen, with a (right to apply and to hold a) full British passport (if it was done before the 1 January 1983, his name(s) and address would had been published in a list in the London Gazette), and he was born long after Egypt was no longer a British "protected state" (similar to a full protectorate). (Indeed he is (as of yet) one, after all, reportedly in the year 1986. My over-sight.)

I also think that the special distinction that RAF Mildenhall is a special air base, used only by the USAF, instead of by the RAF, is important, or pertinent, and should not really be removed under any circumstances.

The name "Mustapha Kamel Mustapha" was also used by Her Majesty's Government and in some earlier judicial proceedings. Anyway, I thank you. -- KC9TV 15:48, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Re:April Jones
Indeed, it is very unusual for the police to file a murder charge without a body. I can only think of a couple of cases in recent history where that's happened, so they have to be fairly confident about it. No doubt we'll learn more as the case unfolds. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:00, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Didn't I see you around the 'Disappearance of Megan Stammers' page or was that someone else? :) I'm looking for an Admin or someone who uses Wikinews to make that page there. Can you help me out? CHCSPrefect (talk) 08:52, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know I reverted the edit that you made to The Big Bang Theory because it didn't really fit and isn't relevant to the article. Go Phightins! (talk) 18:12, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Wasn't really sure where to put this so followed 'at the bottom' etiquette
My thanks my fellow Wikipedian. You've been a big help, fixed my morning right up after a really bad start. Happy Constructive Editing :) CHCSPrefect (talk) 08:46, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
