Reverts edit

Good work at Twelfth Night. You'd have found it easier to achieve what you were trying to do if you knew how to revert. All the instructions are at WP:REVERT. Cheers. AndyJones 12:30, 19 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

James May edit

Hi, sorry but the reason that the toenail anecdote keeps being removed is because all material must come from verifiable sources, especially when it comes to material about a living person (although ok this isn't a particularly damaging revelation!). I don't doubt that your claims are true, but that just isn't good enough for Wikipedia otherwise anyone could claim anything! Please see WP:SOURCES for further information, and you will see just how strong policy is on this. I've added a "fact" tag rather than remove it - is there an interview with him that supports it? Regards, Halsteadk (talk) 20:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

PS While writing this someone else has taken stronger action and removed it. That can't really be argued with, but it's an amusing anecdote so please do see if you can track down a verifiable source. Halsteadk (talk) 20:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)Reply


mym adds: tsk, I AM A VERIFIABLE SOURCE.

September 2008 edit

  Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Terence Koh. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. freshacconcispeaktome 10:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Reply


mym adds: Nonsense, the article needs some balance, as the prefix to it categorically states.

October 2008 edit

  Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Terence Koh, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. freshacconci talktalk 01:56, 1 October 2008 (UTC)Reply


mym adds: I note you did not address the point made, or indeed engage in any way, but just issued a threat. Hardly the best way of influencing behaviour. Please spare yourself the trouble of further correspondence, as it will probably be ignored.

Merritt photo edit

A great picture from a great gig, but could you crop the original so that we can see Stephin more clearly, when the image is used in an article? It's looking more like a picture of a microphone stand at the moment... --McGeddon (talk) 10:41, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

mym notes: No. The stand is a framing device, both physically and in terms of a reference to Merritt's views on recording and live performance.

Cambridgeshire churches links edit

Hello, I like the Cambridgeshire Churches website, although I probably would advise not simply adding a generic "there is some information and pictures of" part to every Cambridgeshire town page without thought to the flow of the paragraphs. Do you think it be possible to use it to cite an interesting fact or something instead please? Thanks. Rob (talk) 19:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Mym notes: If you look more closely you will find that the links were carefully added, sometimes with a rewrite of the relevant link text itself and/or the paragraph it was attached to.

Mym, your username appears to closely resemble one of the names credited on that site, which seems quite an amazing coincidence. I'm sorry but good though the site is, adding a link to every article is link-spamming. Halsteadk (talk) 12:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Mym notes: I don't understand your point. Adding a link to external sites (non-commercial ones I might add) with relevant additional information and photographs seems to me to add to the point of Wikipedia. Having just looked up "link-spamming" I consider your comment mildly libellous.

Tags edit

Please don't remove tags, as you did with harissa. The need for citation is real - I for one don't believe either of the tagged statements. It would be more constructive if you fixed the problem rather than hiding it Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:43, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Mouth of the rubicon.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Mouth of the rubicon.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:16, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Mouth of the rubicon.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Mouth of the rubicon.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
