June 10 Edit

I guess in removing the nonsense entry, "*1988 - Jordan Dominguez, bass player (Catch Your Breath)," I inadvertendly removed a notable entry as well. I spend a large amount of time on Wikipedia maintaining the quality of Wikicalendar pages, so it's to be expected that here and there I'll make an error. Sorry for the inconvenience.

User page

Hello Martyn. I hear you've been speaking to Linda. I removed your email address from your home page. Wikipedia is mirrored all over the place, and your address may have reached places or spambots you wouldn't have imagined. I've replaced it with the equivalent (anonymous) Wiki facility (I hope).

Your comment on User talk:68.103.222.249

Although you may have been very frustrated with this anonymous user, it isn't considered appropriate to call anyone a moron on Wikipedia - see the no personal attacks policy. Next time, consider using a template message instead. Supadawg - Talk 18:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Furor vs. Furore

Regarding your edit to subliminal message, "furor" is the American spelling of the word. Just thought its's worth mentioning so you won't wonder if someone reverts it. -- DImfeld 01:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge Fiction

Hi, noticed that you created a new article for an Itchy and Scratchy episode, since the article is so light on information maybe we should merge and redirect that article with List of Itchy and Scratchy Cartoons. Since the I&S episodes are so short there might be a problem of having 30-40 perma-stubs if we make an article for every article, instead of having one list to cover all of them. Drop me a line. --eivind^t@c 23:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

OK! --eivind^t@c 23:26, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Pipe

Hi. The | symbol is called a Vertical bar or pipe. There should be one on your keyboard somewhere. Mine is to the left of z, requiring the shift button. Otherwise there should be one in the 'insert character box' that appears when you edit a page. It's between the ~ and ° symbols. Hope that's help.

Daisy, daisy ✿✿✿

Hi, I just noticed your addition to 2001: A Space Odyssey (film) about computers regurgitating data as they're being destroyed. I have to say this all sounds a bit far-fetched, but it would be a great story if it was true. Can you provide any references to back this story up?

Oh and by the way, good luck with Mastermind on Thursday. And happy birthday! -- Sakurambo 桜ん坊 14:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Your Mediation Cabal case

Hi, there. Concerning your mediation cabal case, I just came to inform you that the title for the page was left blank, making some difficulties with the case title. I have renamed and moved your case to Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-07-08 Casablanca so it is properly formatted. Thanks. Cowman109^Talk 22:10, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

There has been no response from any of the parties involved with this case for some time. Unless you or one of the other parties responds on the mediation page before July 20, I will close the mediation. Rick Norwood 12:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Today is July 20. Not having heard from any of the parties involved, I am closing the case. Rick Norwood 14:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: "Block"

Generally speaking, if you are able to edit anything other than your own talk page, your address is not blocked. Exceptions apply, though: I don't suppose you are using AOL? — Jul. 9, '06 [20:08] <freak|talk>

In the meantime you might try using an external web browser. Try making an anonymous edit using something other than the AOL browser and see if you aren't editing from a completely different IP range. — Jul. 9, '06 [20:22] <freak|talk>

Be forewarned about AOL#Account cancellation, allow yourself at least an hour. — Jul. 9, '06 [20:24] <freak|talk>

Aston Villa/Doug Ellis pages

I'll leave it with you, do what you will, but I would suggest that a proviso is added that Villa have denied the statement was made in the way it was reported - and the Birmingham Mail are now reported it was just the work of ONE disgruntled player Gretnagod 12:39, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I redirected both of these stubs into the article Plot. We don't normally create separate articles for adjectives. Deb 21:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Billy Bleech

I believe you are mistaken in thinking that the Billy Bleech sketches where he utters: someone's sitting there, mate are unconnected to Bleech. You are wrong, he wears the mop wig, the gag even began in Billy's local pub. i suggest you re-watch series 3 Foxearth

Removal of links

Please don't remove links from articles unless no article should ever be created with that title. Red links are extremely useful when writing new articles. Warofdreams talk 15:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Favorite Son

I'll give you the quickie rundown. if you are already familiar with the US election system, then this will be review. In short, candidates for the presidency run in primary elections and earn delegates that go to national conventions. Those delegates are traditionally pledged to a candidate. Of late, the convention is a bit of an anachronism since there is usually a candidate with more than enough delegates to win.

However, let's assume that there isn't a clear winner. A "favorite son" is a candidate who runs from his/her home state hoping to win a majority of that state's delegates. It allows that person to hold those delegates in order to influence the selection of the party's candidate. If you go into the convention and no one wins on the first ballot, candidates will start to drop out and their delegates can move towards other candidates. This is where the favorite some candidate can have influence. He can announce support for a particular person and ask his delegates to support that person. If that candidate ultimately wins, it can certainly benefit the person who pledged his delegates.

Again, since conventions are no longer brokered, this is a unlikely scenario going forward. But in the early part of US History, this was extremely common.Montco 03:01, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

What's New Pussycat? (song)

A tag has been placed on What's New Pussycat? (song), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. iced kola^(Mmm...) 00:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Martyn Smith! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 944 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Jack Rollins (producer) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Nicholas Padfield - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 19:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Mark Ryan (The Kid). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. WWGB (talk) 23:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rachel Dax

The article Rachel Dax has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unable to find any significant coverage in independent reliable sources suitable to satisfy the general notability guidelines

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. The-Pope (talk) 14:35, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Go ahead as far as I'm concerned Martyn Smith (talk) 21:53, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Radcliffe and Maconie

Just being nosy: did you get a reply to, or acknowledgement of, your email to Radcliffe & Maconie concerning Merry Men? --88.104.35.41 (talk) 20:02, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your lack of response. --88.104.35.41 (talk) 04:25, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Just in case you visit my talk again, it's not possible to really respond to someone who only uses an IP address and doesn't have a proper Wikipedia log in AFAICS Martyn Smith (talk) 15:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

You have responded to me to tell me that it's not possible to respond to me.

You are a confusing man. I will assume at this point that you think the answer is none of my business and leave you be.

Best, 88.104.35.41 (talk) 16:48, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

No, I don't think that at all. I didn't think you'd be able to see any response to me on here unless you proactively looked on my talk page. Did you receive a 'new messages' prompt to tell you that I'd written the above? I'm not sure how it works; previously I'd only ever written to the talk pages of named registered editors.

To answer the question, no I did not get any reply or acknowledgement from the show, unfortunately. All we can do is hope that the show's production team read the email and will ask the presenters to desist from similar activity in future. Regards Martyn Smith (talk) 17:10, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Aha! I understand the confusion now. Yes, it is possible for an IP editor to monitor a page without repeat visits – eg. by running the Atom feed of a page history through a feed reader (though I removed said feed when I said I'd depart). Thanks for the reply. --88.104.35.41 (talk) 17:11, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Polly Samson

Hi, interesting note you left on the PS talk page (although strictly speaking it doesn't really belong there, as the talk page is for discussion about improvements to the article, and not thoughts/observations about the subject). Would you mind moving it to the bottom of the page so that the posts appear in chronological order? Thanks. Writegeist (talk) 21:04, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Alright Martyn! I didn't do much to Bernie's page just tried to put a positive spin on it with mentioning how he was in the side that got promoted.
