Moken edit

In the Moken article you removed the lines ==Reference== <reference />. These lines pull the citations down from the text where they nest next to the individual items. It may look as though the section is empty, but it isn't. Please do let me know if you have any questions about these lines, or if you had another reason for removing them. Thanks. Bejnar 22:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

No I didn't! I moved them further down. You haven't restored them, you've duplicated them. If you list the references at that point in the article you miss any citations that appear later. There's one in the section 'to be verified'. C0pernicus 20:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I didn't see them. I have removed the unverified material and there is now only one set of References. Bejnar 15:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Mediation edit

Request for mediation edit

Hi C0pernicus, I've added your name to the formal request for mediation on Chaps due to your earlier request on the article's talk page. If you want to participate, then just "agree" to the mediation, if you do not agree, then the request will be denied. I think it's a good step, and one I was going to suggest, since some of the parties were unhappy with how things were going. I'm not a "professional" mediator, just trying to help out.... Dreadstar 21:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

C0pernicus, I am the "filing party" on the request for mediation and I did not include you in the list of involved parties because as far as I am concerned you are not involved in the content dispute. However, you are welcome to participate. You have 3 options: remove yourself from the list, agree to the mediation, or do nothing. If you do nothing, my request for mediation might be denied, but under the circumstances I think it would suffice for someone else to remove you from the list. --Una Smith (talk) 22:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Reply


Request for mediation accepted edit

MedCom Case edit

Hi, I'm Keilana. I've just accepted the aforementioned MedCom case. I've commented on the Mediation talk page, where mediation will take place. I hope that this mediation will be productive and satisfactory to all. I have asked all participants to make a statement, more details are on the talk page.

Consecrating a Church edit

Hi there, thanks for the heads up, to be honest, my main aim is simply to create an appropriate standardised infobox for each UK cathedral article on wikipedia. In future I will leave the consecration date blank unless I have specific information on it. Could I ask you to please leave comments on my talk page rather than my userpage, as this is standard wikipedia practice Bleaney (talk) 12:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Cornwall edit

Hi C0pernicus, I've undone your addition to the IPA pronunciation of Cornwall - the pronunciation you added isn't, in my experience, used at all in Cornwall - and only very rarely elsewhere in the UK. DuncanHill (talk) 15:02, 27 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your reply. The Oxford English Dictionary does not have an entry for Cornwall. The Oxford Dictionary of the World has the schwa for the second vowel. Be interested to see your citations, as they would appear to be profoundly wrong. The pronunciation you gave looks American to me. DuncanHill (talk) 21:42, 27 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well, I've added a citation. Feel free to add cited but obviously incorrect material at your leisure. DuncanHill (talk) 22:02, 27 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
