Preity Zinta FA
Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦       "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment
There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 21:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

George Cross outline page
Hi there, I've set up a skeleton for producing GC articles here. If you copy and paste the text into a GC article, then drop in the content, it will produce an article formatted something like Bennett Southwell. It will do as well for newly created or existing articles and I'll try to fit it into some of the existing ones. If you have any comments, additions or suggestions please add them to the page. I'm posting this onto the user talk pages of Nick mallory, DuncanHill, Wolvereness, RHB, Woodym555, Hammer1980,David Underdown and HeartofaDog. If any of you would like to change the skeleton, please go ahead and do so! I am fairly new to Wikipedia and have probably made some gross errors. If you want to discuss any of this (and have the rest of this group see your discussion) maybe we could discuss it on the talk page for the skeleton article? Best wishes, Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk to me)  09:44, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Page National Health Service

 * See User talk:Anthony Appleyard and Talk:National Health Service for discussion about a move request which you put in the "uncontroversial" part of http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Cut_and_paste_move_repair_holding_pen&oldid=178897092 . Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

sympathise with you quite a bit about the NHS and the bad press. There does seem to be a concerted campaign going on in some quarters to muddy the name of the NHS and a lot of it comes out of America though some, it is fair, is generated by the red-top and true blue quarters of our own press. A lot of the stuff from the US comes from a limited number of sources that seem to be very successful at getting into print. Mostly I suspect that this has to do with the upcoming presidential campaign and the expected changes to America's broken health care system which seems to benefit mostly the insurance companies as far as I can see. I first got involved in this when I came across a term called "single payer" and came to WP to see ewhat it meant. That lead me to socialized medicine which is how the American right denounce systems like the NHS. The article, and the article it linked to then told a totally misleading picture of the NHS. I was flabbergasted at the lies and mis-truths there! Since then I have been putting the article on a fairer basis though it has been hard work and there are editors there who seem bent on distorting the truth further. I am sorry about undoing all your work, but hopefully it will be possible for you to put your edits back bit by bit into the main article and by all means use the talk page before making a series of edits as a major reconstruction. If there is consensus to your reconstruction I'm sure it'll be OK and people will allow you to make the edits there. As for hiving off the criticism section I am not to sure. Why not propose it on the talk page, give your reasons and wait and see what response you get? I do seem to see a lot of often repeated criticisms which are quite unfair and spread around so fast that I am sure people think they are true even if they are not. I think WP is a good place to open up the examination of these claims. You can get an idea of what I am talking about here.

I must admit that I found the NHS article rather dry and focussed on organization rather than function. I therefore created the article Healthcare in the United Kingdom which was intended to focus on the user perspective of the the public and private systems without the messy organizational stuff which most people don't need to now about. I thought that would be more useful to people outside the UK who really just want to know what it does. --Tom (talk) 20:15, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

re National Health Service/RHB
Heads-up, a page you recently created (National Health Service/RHB) may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already).
