All at sea about Barnacle Bill
Who can argue with an Ealing man about an Ealing film? Must have had barnacles on the brain. I've made the change. Clarityfiend 17:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Re Inline Citations
Inline citations are indeed when you have a small number next to a sentence, and then under a "Notes" section the relevant details appear. When citing a book, you have to cite the specific page. The "References" section should hold the relevant details about a book such as the ISBN number etc. Feel free to drop in if you have any other queries. LuciferMorgan 18:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Laser Physics?
Have you done lasers in Edinburgh Peter? Not exactly Brunel's style to be sure though.
 * Certainly have. Would you identify yourself? Peter Maggs 07:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

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:.

The POV Objection Vanishes
...if you can cite a WP:Reliable source that agrees with you. I've looked around; the best I can find is this TCM article ("...Hitchcock's writers pepper the dialogue with sly jokes and innuendos."). Not ideal, but I think it would fend off the deletionist wolves. Clarityfiend (talk) 17:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Signing Posts
Well now, here's a thing Mr SineBot, every time, yes, every time I post content I ALWAYS use either four tildas or the signature button, and my name and the time appears on the post. Yet EVEY TIME I do this, I get a message from you saying I have not signed my post... This is all starting to get very silly! Signed with four tildas Peter Maggs 11:42, 8 December 2015 (UTC) and for good measure the signature button --Peter Maggs 11:42, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
