Hi Dan, have you seen Shoreham-by-Sea? I think the two articles now need merging. Warofdreams 17:22, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I guess they do! The town is usually referred to as Shoreham or Shoreham by Sea, without hyphens. So I didn't find it before starting the new page ...

I'm new to this, so what's the best way to merge the pages? Dan


 * The best way to merge them is to pick one as the new title (I suggest Shoreham-by-Sea, I expect Shoreham will become a disambiguation page), and combine the best bits of the two articles into a new article there. Then, when you're finished, redirect the other one to it.  You've written a good article, so its worth perservering! Warofdreams 17:53, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Little context in Electric Colour Climax
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Electric Colour Climax, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Electric Colour Climax is very short providing little or no context to the reader.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Electric Colour Climax, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Electric Colour Climax itself.

 * I restored Electric Colour Climax, but I wanted to explain why I deleted it in the first place: one, it's been orphan tagged since August. Two, you didn't attach a hangon reasoning. Please try and do it promptly if an article is speedied, (usually you'll be warned) because I'll delete it promptly if it satisfies criteria and has no filled out hangon.
