Hammond organ...too many headings
Hi, I understand that you are putting the headings there as placeholders, and that other articles are linked to them. However, if it takes a year for the article headings to be "populated" with text and illustrations, that means for a year we have a series of headings. If you do not propose to add content into these headings in the near future, I will be proposing (on the Hammond talk page) that these empty headings be collapsed into a regular paragraph.Nazamo (talk) 19:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The One That Got Away (1995 novel)
A tag has been placed on The One That Got Away (1995 novel) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

RE: Personal attacks on other editors
Hello Mr Pillows. I have noticed you on more than one occasion personally attack another editor by stating:

"I can assume from your edits that you are probably about 16 years of age, so I don't hold it against you"

This is a personal attack and very bad faith on your part, please do not assume that because someone is sixteen years of age that they are not capable of editing as good as you are, and in some cases a sixteen year old may even be better than yourself. Please try to remain calm and reply to people politely, I do not wish to sound as if I am warning you, but this will be noticed by Admins and you may be blocked for personal attacks in the future. Thanks. Police,Mad,Jack ☺ 14:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

I certainly did not realise that they had faked comments in your name. I must admit, in that case I would have been tempted not to say anything at all, and for the record that would have annoyed me too. If you have any more problems with the IP user faking your comments warn them with an appropriate template for the situation off of this page. Nice work by the way on the Bravo Two Zero article, by the way, I just thought I would let you know that you do not have to put quotes from out of the book in italics, referencing them will be fine instead. Thanks & regards. Police,Mad,Jack ☺ 15:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review
I have posted a question at which you may be able to answer. Can you please return to that discussion to answer it? Stifle (talk) 15:36, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello, Mr Pillows, I was the administrator who deleted your image. I placed a note on the deletion review page that details my explanation. Also, I just wanted to let you know for future references you can find out the admin who deleted something by checking the page's deletion log.

Fair use rationale for File:The One That Got Away (book cover).jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:The One That Got Away (book cover).jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 14:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Date style
WP:MOSDATE will tell you all, basically either style is acceptable, but month day, year is preferred in American/Canadian related articles, and day month year for articles related to pretty much anywhere else. Also in this case, the existing dates in the article were day month year, and it's best to try and be consistent with the existing style. David Underdown (talk) 08:39, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Chris Ryan
I was just reverting the lead paragraph to its earlier version. If there's a source for the MM, feel free to add that source; if there isn't, feel free to take the mention out of the article. --McGeddon (talk) 11:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That was a source for some chap called Armstrong actually having an MM, and not a source for 'Ryan' claiming to have an MM, wasn't it? I assume the latter exists somewhere; if it doesn't, then as I say, feel free to take the MM out of the article. --McGeddon (talk) 11:42, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Changing of 'Ryan's Escape to Syria' on the page Bravo Two Zero
Dear Mr Pillows, I would very much like if you could stop editing 'Ryan's Escape to Syria' on the page Bravo Two Zero. Your information about the distance Chris Ryan travelled is inaccurate. Rather than 160 kilometres like you said, he actually travelled around 290 kilometres. This information I have just shown you is not just from Chris Ryan's book, The One That Got Away. A lot of the information I have is from the actual debriefing of the event. I also think that I would have better knowledge of the subject, considering that I have read many books and texts and watched many movies and documentries about Bravo Two Zero.

 * Dear Mr Awesome,
 * Unfortunately Wikipedia is not about who has better knowledge of a subject, it is about which specific claims made within an article have the better references. Your edit contains no references, and despite your claim that "A lot of the information I have is from the actual debriefing of the event", you have not referenced this, and nor could you because it is not published. To compound the issue of your reliability without references, you refer to a character named 'Stan', a pseudonym that would not appear in any debriefing document and only appears in Bravo Two Zero and The One That Got Away - two references of which the reliability has been put in doubt by each other, as well as 'Eye Of The Storm', 'Soldier Five', 'The Real Bravo Two Zero' and by McNab himself in a published letter to a British newspaper.


 * "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"
 * You have provided no evidence (let alone any of an extraordinary nature) and even if you did, there are at least five, independently published sources (not ghost-written for the protagonist himself, as in the case of The One That Got Away) that indicate that any such reference would be unreliable.Mr Pillows (talk) 23:06, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Dear Mr Pillows,

Even though you say that I need references, I totally agree. Most of my references are from the books, 'The One That Got Away', 'Bravo Two Zero', 'Soldier Five' and many online websites and texts. The only problem is that I don't know how to include references in my texts, so that is a problem.

I would still prefer my edit though, because it gives more information and accurate measurements of the distance Chris Ryan travelled.

P.S. In my other message, I said that I got my information from the actual debriefing. It was actually a load of bull, I just wanted to win the argument.

Regards,
