UEL

Hi, thanks for the THE citation ... but I still cannot find anywhere on the page cited that UEL was in the top 10. Could you perhaps copy/paste the relevant paragraph here? Thanks again. - Sitush (talk) 18:34, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

The page has a link to an Excel spreadsheet, which has no URL of its own, which shows the rankings. Please do not remove this again as the citation is correct.

Hi, I'll remove it if the link isn't in the article. You can link to the spreadsheet, I guarantee it. Just copy/paste the area around where the sheet appears in the page here & I'll sort the link for you. - Sitush (talk) 18:56, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

It is part of the article, but not part of the text - it is a very clear link just to the right of the words. Don't you think that removing the line is a bit unneccessary given that the article very clearly links to the spreadsheet?

Hi, the policy with links is that they s/b specific (eg: with a book you would state the page number, just as in an academic exercise). Don't worry, I'll sort it out. - Sitush (talk) 19:51, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I've now pointed the link to the PDF version. However, I can still see nothing in there that supports the statement as there is no section ranking just "modern universities". Given my previous, am I rapidly losing my ability to see? <g> - Sitush (talk) 20:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your message. I have now added a source reference showing the book's existence. Unfortunately, there are as yet no interviews with the author that can be sourced, nor has the book yet won any awards that can be cited, as it is too new to have done so. Nevertheless, its existence anmd content can be verufied by the reference I have attached. Neilinabbey (talk) 21:07, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: David Frayne

Hello Neilinabbey. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of David Frayne, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The reason given is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. Thank you. BangJan1999 17:18, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Okdoke, thanks. TBH, I didn't really mean to choose speedy deletion, that was an error on my part. I'll delete that and replace it with a normal delete suggestion message. Thanks, Neilinabbey (talk) 17:25, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Respectfully, you have not explained why you are linking to a country in breach of WP:OVERLINK, why you are removing a valid source, and why you are putting his job title in brackets which is not standard...please bear in mind WP:BRD, and take to the article talk page rather than reverting again. GiantSnowman 13:39, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi GiantSnowman, Respectfully, youi have not explained why you have reinstated information about his age that is not supported by the sources.

I didn't intentionally add any of those links directly (I accept they happened due to my reversion of your changes but they were already there before my initials edits). I feel the changes I made yesterday were good and justified and provided a better article than what was there before and what you have reverted it to. The article had a better logical structure, the 2006 vote had its own section which, given its importance in his career, was justified, and I removed confusion about this age - stated as 86 or 87, when the info box gave his precise dates of birth and death and both sources clearly said was 86, so there was no need for the confusion or for it to be replaced. Also, the reference to him being a 'flying Scotsman' added nothing to the article and was out of place/irrelevant to the section it was in, and the source no longer exists. Frankly, the article was a bit of a mess and it needs tidying up, which I shall do again for the reasons stated above. Neilinabbey (talk) 14:03, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

The references in the first (only) paragraph are completely messed and I can't figure out what they are supposed to be. Can you fix them? Thanks 76.14.122.5 (talk) 05:56, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I'd like to help but references are not my strong point. I've had a look but I'm not sure how to fix this.Neilinabbey (talk) 11:37, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for looking. I may just replace with the original version. 76.14.122.5 (talk) 18:09, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
