BNP/NF election results
The pages British National Front election results and British National Party election results were deleted last summer. As someone who contributed to one or both of those pages, I thought you might be interested in supporting their recreation. The grounds for deletion were that they were unreferenced (correct, but easily put right); they were unencyclopaedic (??? - no reasons given) and that they violated BLP policy (ridiculous, but which, by implication, means that any page that names an election candidate should be deleted). The deletion debate is at Articles for deletion/British National Party election results. No contributors to the pages were consulted.

I asked the admin who deleted the pages to reconsider, but he refused. I have belatedly requested a Deletion Review (see Deletion review/Log/2009 February 1) to which you may wish to contribute. I eventually managed to obtain copies of the deleted articles and have now referenced the entire content. You can see them at User:Emeraude/British National Front election results and User:Emeraude/British National Front election results. Emeraude (talk) 11:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:16th Jan 004b.JPG
File:16th Jan 004b.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Mary Slessor.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case:. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 16:57, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Église Saint-Étienne de Lille
Just a thought - might this not be better at "Saint-Étienne de Lille"? Saying "Église Saint-Étienne de Lille" is like saying "Church of Saint-Étienne de Lille" - I think it's a bit redundant. Do you know if there's been any discussion on the subject? --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 15:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

No content in Category:Roman roads in Egypt
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Roman roads in Egypt, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Roman roads in Egypt has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Roman roads in Egypt, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Orphaned non-free media (File:IMG 6728.JPG)
Thanks for uploading File:IMG 6728.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) 05:05, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

a tip
In my patrolling of translation-related templates, I saw that you do a lot of translations from other wikis into English. Whenever you notice articles in need of translation I would encourage you to apply the tags Expand French, Expand Italian, etc, as this places them into translation cleanup categories and alerts other editors of the need for translation. Thanks! Calliopejen1 (talk) 03:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Continued use of "Sir" in main title headers
Since you moved Sir Philip Crampton Smyly to Philip Crampton Smyly (colonial administrator), a somewhat-related discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (names and titles) may be of interest.&mdash;Roman Spinner (talk) 07:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Ambassadors
You appear to be doing good work in creating British ambassador categories (though I have not followed it all). However, the list articles should remain in "list" categories both for sending country and receiving country. I therefore undid the deletion of a category from British mabasadors to Ottoman Empire. In many cases lists are rundundant when a category exists and all redlinks in the list have been removed by creating articles. In this case, the list still adds something, because it presents the ambassadors in date order. In addition, many lists remain incomplete, usually at the beginning (earliest).
