Burton brewing to English beer
Hi Sjorford. You did some editing on Burton brewing, so you may be interested in this (third!) attempt to redirect Burton brewing into English beer. Cheers! SilkTork 17:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Need your comments
Hello! I hope you are feeling great. I need your comments on this page. Your views with regards to this would be valuable. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 07:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi
I see that you have not edited in a while. Come back! Uetz 17:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Plaid Cymru
You edited the diagram of the approximate seating plan in the House of Commons a while back.



Since then Plaid Cymru have changed their colours. The change has been updated on most pages that mention the party. Because the design is a .png image and not a table I have no idea how to alter it. Would you be able to change it please? Broxi (talk) 20:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I closed the discussion a moment ago as no consensus to delete. If you want to delete the page at some point in the future, that's obviously your prerogative; some users expressed they found it useful. :) Lazulilasher (talk) 15:59, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:List of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes
I'm not sure I like the idea. Having only one title blue linked would look weird. It might also inspire other users to add links to things that segments parody. -- Scorpion 0422  17:24, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Murky Most Horrid
(Sorry I missed your note for a while.) I'm not 100% sure where I found a suggestion that Mr Smith created Murder Most Horrid. I suppose it could have simply been IMDb, which is not always entirely accurate... I don't see it corroborated - or contradicted - elsewhere, though, so it may have to come out. My DVD and videos aren't to hand, so I'll have to assume that if you can't find it, it's not on those, and then could be inaccurate. ntnon (talk) 17:39, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Road sign images
The road sign images were produced to the Department for Transport specifications, which have a small space between the letter and the numbers, and also have different widths for different numbers (e.g. '1' is narrower than most, and '8' is wider than most of the numbers.

The boxes widths are adjusted to the width of the text within - but the template currently makes all the images the same height, making them appear a bit odd.

It could do with changing to something like this, where the images are a fixed height rather than a fixed width:

Concerned about wp:bite, I followed up.
This edit was not a bite. The edit needed to go, and I can't personally recommend a more courteous way I can think of to do it.sinneed (talk) 23:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

"There isn't a need to delete an entire statement just because the current reference isn't good enough" - You are correct. But it was needful to delete the entire statement. The most courteous way to tell someone that is to say words to the effect that it will need a wp:RS to be included.

"(Having said that, I am finding it bizarrely difficult to find an online reference that isn't a blog, but I am still looking.)" - Indeed. This is a thought experiment, useful for helping illustrate the size of powers of 2, or exponential growth in general.

sinneed (talk) 13:32, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I cannot, really. It has already been said in the gentlest way possible, and I don't want to be biting.  In order to be included, the statement needs a source.  I do expect you will have great difficulty finding a wp:RS that says it is possible to fold a piece of paper in half 100 times, and states the final size of the object.sinneed (talk) 13:50, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not sure that a thought experiment belongs on a page about paper folding, but I have made some edits. Please be careful when attaching a citation to information, to be sure the citation actually says that.sinneed (talk) 14:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, timing. I had removed the flag and reworded it so I think it is supported by the link.  The last fold would take "a few" billion years to complete, too, if it could be done.  If we could "swing" the fold at .1 lights, it would take (wildly rough numbers)3.14*(440x10^24)^2 years... using inertialess paper.  Ah well, it is a fun thought.sinneed (talk) 15:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

(ceremonial) Buckinghamshire
The Buckinghamshire article as it currently stands is almost entirely about the admin county, not the historic county. It is misleading to direct readers from MK articles to it as it stands, because it explicitly excludes MK. So the simple device of "ceremonial" avoids having to rewrite it it to refer to the traditional county (which is a sore topic in WP:UK geography already). Also, most of the MK categories are nested in the Bucks categories, so there is no need to list both in MK articles. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:00, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Mother's Milk
How is that song relevant to the album? It is clearly relevant to the song "Pretty Little Ditty", but it has no relevance to Mother's Milk at all. The "music" section of the Mother's Milk article serves the purpose of analyzing the songs and styles present on the record, not other songs. NSR 77 T 14:02, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The information doesn't need to be presented. It isn't important to anything regarding Red Hot Chili Peppers, so therefore non-notable in regards to inclusion in the article. NSR 77  T 19:13, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Good idea to archive the notability stuff from the Swells page. Any ideas on how to go about dealing with some blatant sock puppetry? Not that I'm directing that at any individual in particular, mind...FrFintonStack (talk) 00:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation
You appear to be misinterpreting the disambiguation guidelines. They say that (play) should not be required if it is redundant (i.e., if there is no possibility of confusing it with another work by the same author). It is only not redundant if an author, for example, wrote a novel and then adapted it as a play, or vice versa. The Liar (Goldoni) is the standard form used throughout the Wikiproject Theatre pages. DionysosProteus (talk) 16:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. It was more for your information, since every other play, etc. disambiguation I've come across uses the form I describe. I don't think it's different sets of guidelines at work, more an ambiguous phrasing in the guide that doesn't make the standard form clear. Since the Fry seems to be the only novel, though, (novel) would be the standard. kind regards, DionysosProteus (talk) 12:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Sjorford! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Fair use rationale for File:Hawk-Eye.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Hawk-Eye.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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:47, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Categories for discussion nomination of Category:The Comic Strip
Category:The Comic Strip, which you created, has been nominated for discussion. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:20, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
