Kennington Park
Thanks for that, Szczels. I take my hat off to you for putting so much effort into the article. Perhaps we should organise a South London wikimeet in said cafe? --Tagishsimon


 * Thanks for the comments – about formatting – I've learnt the hard way not to leave spaces at the start of a line. About 'Enry: well, nearly met him: in the 70s my wife taught art at the Barclay School in Stevenage (with a Moore sculpture at the entrance) and we went with pupils on a prearranged visit to his studio, but didn't seem to be expected and our enquiry was passed to him to be loudly met with "who are these people?" in a rather lordly accent. Then we got shown round by an assistant which was fascinating: the place is now the Henry Moore Foundation museum, and is in Hertfordshire as I should have checked before editing, so will delete Essex. The reason for the initial edit was that he always seemed part of the art establishment rather than being presented as a "working class artist", but feel free to change it back if your info says otherwise, Best wishes with the project, --dave souza 00:50, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * how to differentiate text? I'm still learning, but would suggest italic text either using the I button above the edit area or typing ' twice before and after the text you want italiced, hope this helps, dave souza 23:33, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

He was 'presented as' an establishment artist – but this illustrates systemmic pressure for there not to be such a category as 'working class artist' which like 'working class intellectual' is a contradiction in terms. Szczels (talk) 17:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Liverpool Dockers
Hiya. It's not so much that the dockers page link is broke as that I assumed it existed and it doesn't. Yet. I'm working on it...... Chaikney 18:02, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Hi, we're heading in the right direction, but we still need you to add a license tag, such as GFDL. (Without it, the image keeps appearing on lists of untagged images, and people will keep bugging you about it. :-) ) Stan 03:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

OK thanks Szczels 21:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Kennington Cross
Hi Szczels! I like your Kennington Park article. I was just wondering, as you have the local knowledge, if you could tell me where exactly 'Kennington Cross' is/was and what it refers to...Chaplin refers to it in his autobiography but I can't find it on the map...(Also do you know where 'Pownall Terrace' was – also mentioned by Chaplin...)Colin4C 19:37, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Its the cross road of Kennington Rd and Kennington lane opposite the Doghouse pub. Haven't heard of Pownall Terrace. The Ordinance survey does print old maps of the area... Szczels 15:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Melanie de Salignac
Dinarphatak has added a "" template to the article Melanie de Salignac, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but Dinarphatak doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. —  irides cent   (talk to me!)  14:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Unconquerable World


The article The Unconquerable World has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * essay based on non-notable book

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth 15:24, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I am amazed! You have been contributing longer than I have but you have not learned some basics of Wikipedia articles. At the simplest level, your contibution omitted the words "is a book" and failed to link to the author's article. Look at the articles about Schell's other books and you will see that by Wikipedia standards, yours is an essay. As a minimum wou will: add the publisher and ISBN to the infobox and put the refs (properly formatted – with no naked URLs) into the article. Pull your finger out – Croydonians can do better than that. — RHaworth 18:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. I've removed the deletion thingy with the following reasons given on the discussion page and here. This is not an essay it is a concise summary that sticks closely to the books structure. I'm not adverse to someone who has read the book making it more concise and I will do this within the next week or so if no-one else does. With regard to its notability – if you go to the Jonathan Schell page you will see that it was one of the few of his books that did not have a separate wikipedia page. The author is well known in the field as can be seen from the links on this page. – Szczels (talk) 17:13, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey there. We're looking for reviewers on the sociology article to get it to good article status. Please review or provide advice if you have the time! --Tomsega (talk) 14:29, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Catchy Shubby Cricket


The article Catchy Shubby Cricket has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unremarkable form of cricket. A google search brings up no reliable sources, as the article stands, it is written like a POV littered advert. Fails WP:GNG and WP:V.

(talk) 17:00, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

My defence is that not all 'remarkable' forms of culture can be found by google search. Those that come from the oral realm are most likely to not be literalised on the web and so found by google. The people least likely to have their culture written are those who culture is mostly oral. These are mostly working class people and people of colour. We must look for oral references to confirm importance. That is why I have linked to a video – not made by me about Catchy Shubby as played in London. It is true that I have spoken with Tony Moody and this motivated my entry. Please see this video. I have removed the earlier link to the video made by myself.
