My Sandbox
I finally worked it out, by reading it somewhere. petedavo 07:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Petedavo,

No worries. Your expansion since the tag was placed looks fine so I've removed that. I don't think that there would be any serious argument about her notability but it does need to be expressly described in the article, which it now is. I've also removed the link to the 100 list as thats in the 'Project' space and we're not allowed to link to that for the 'Article' space. The article does need some copyediting which I'd like to do - but probably tomorrow.

Cheers. &mdash;Moondyne 14:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks. And enjoy the editing - I get editing out syndrome - and can't stop sometimes (too many typos - I need a keyboard with big keys). It'd be great to have a few others add and change the article. petedavo 14:34, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi petedavo, I responded to you here. Thanks for giving me a heads-up on the conversation though - I'm watching it now. - Freechild 14:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Whoa. Hold on there. You are going over board with the category for Human evolution. These items are already well categorized. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Just discovered that. My fault for not looking at the actual cat first. It'll be easy to fix thou. I had got very NPOV after I looked for a Project page for Human Evolutionary Science and found one redirected to that Intellegent Design mob. Aaagh! @#$%^&* petedavo 12:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Just about to do, and it's already being done. Cool. someone's got a bot or can click faster. petedavo 12:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Any chãnce of a photo? &mdash;Moondyne 02:40, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a shame I'm notworking over there anymore, I'd simply ask her and take a pic. I'm sure if asked to provide a pic of her choice for his express purpose. Hmmm I'll ask someone I know to approach her in person. petedavo 09:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Article already deleted as you were typing this by User:Kinu. I'll leave it in the sandbox till I've rewritten it more. You'll have to work out who's supposed to be afd'ing and who's supposed to be just deleting amongst yourselves. petedavo 06:26, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not an admin, so I can't delete, just tag. I do encourage you to rewrite it, just make sure the copied text is eliminated.  A method that seems to work for a lot of people is to read over the sources, put them aside, wait a few minutes and then write the article from scratch off the top of your head.  That should work, as long as you don't have a photographic memory!  Happy editing! --Butseriouslyfolks 07:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Battle of Cowan's Ford, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

 * I've given that one to the North Carolina wiki project crew a while ago for them to do something with it. petedavo 06:27, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone kindly took it and ran with it, at least for a start. --Butseriouslyfolks 07:09, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

House of Douglas
copied from Talk:Clan Douglas

Momento
If petedavo had cared to read the above, regarding the OED definition of "house" here, or that of dynasty here,then perhaps he would not be so confused. The history of the House of Douglas is a mirror of that of the Kingdom of Scotland, it does not require a regnal seat to qualify for the accolade of a "regnal" style. If one were to read Froissart, there is ample testament to the Noble and Puissant Princes that have been so styled from the 14th century, of both Douglas and Angus lines. In the later Middle Ages and Early Modern period members were the Power brokers of Scotland. The history of the chiefs of this house, and their cadets is enormously notable within medieval and early modern Scots history, and while the aspirations of the contemporary N. American organisations such as the CDSNA are maybe to be encouraged, they do not have a monopoly on real fact. The House of Douglas is not and was not a 'Clan', they were not Gaels, they may be referred to informally as a 'clan', a parallel differentiation can be made between the Proper and common nouns, 'Conservative' and 'conservative'. This from the 9th living heir male in direct line from William I, Lord of Douglas. Brendandh 18:42, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
