Proposed deletion of Heritage Link edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Heritage Link, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

non notable organization

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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. Stormbay (talk) 23:03, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

I have nominated British and Irish Historic House books recently published, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/British and Irish Historic House books recently published. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. R12056 (talk) 23:12, 21 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

 

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:British and Irish Historic House books recently published, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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), 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 admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

London Wikimedia Fundraiser edit

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 17:58, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Jessica Fellowes edit

Hello, Andrewtriggs, and thank you for your contributions!

Some text in an article that you worked on Jessica Fellowes, appears to be directly copied from another Wikipedia article, "Jessica Fellowes". Please take a minute to double-check that you've properly attributed the source text in your edit summary.

It's entirely possible that this bot made a mistake, so please feel free to remove this notice and the tag it placed on Jessica Fellowes at any time. MadmanBot (talk) 14:38, 31 October 2012 (UTC)Reply


Forcett Hall edit

I have no inside information on the ownership. I seem to have misunderstood the significance of the words "taken over" so I have removed the offending reference. I don't think I have enough cheek to ring them up and ask intrusive questions about the ownership/management situation and in any event Wikipedia guidelines require all infomation to be verifiable from printed sources. Strangely, both myself and someone else wrote articles about Forcett for Wikipedia at exactly the same time time - a million to one shot you might think. But its happened to me twice.

And I am well impressed by your website. Loks a very useful source of information. I am afraid I hadn't come across it before.

Reading the item above this one about Jessica Fellowes I am surprised to see them apparently complaining about copywrite issues when you copy text from another Wikipedia article. I'd better keep my head down. Plucas58 (talk) 12:27, 9 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Apethorpe Hall edit

I was surprised to find that you had simply deleted all the updates to the entry on Apethorpe Hall, which were made in response to English Heritage's new appellation of the house (see their website) as Apethorpe Palace. These changes were made after personal consultation with Simon Thurley and Nick Hill, EH's chief architect, who agree that the house's royal connection merits the title of Palace. Now you may comment or edit bases on documented historical fact but what you may not do it simply delete someone else's detailed and factually based revisions wholesale. This is a violation of Wikipedia rules. I look forward to your further contributions. But English Heritage now call the house Apethorpe Palace. Simply deleting other people's work and replacing it with less detailed older entry without explanation is disrespectful and a disservice to other Wikipedia users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prinkipo71 (talkcontribs) 09:20, 5 December 2014 (UTC) I recognize that you are a distinguished Wikipedian and I also read your excellent blog on English and Irish country houses. But I would respectfully suggest that the correct way to address concerns - for instance your complaint about the lack of citations on James ist grant of timber from Rockingham Forest for the building of the State Rooms - is not simply to delete the offending passages but to challenge them in accepted Wikipedia form by querying the citations. Or, for instance, contacting the editor through the Wikipedia system. I should add that I have been retained as Apethope's new archivist and historian and have read, I would venture, far more than you about the house and its conservation. Please be respectful of other people's work and refrain from simply cutting out what better informed people have contributed. Many thanks Prinkipo71 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prinkipo71 (talkcontribs) 12:25, 6 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
