Speedy deletion of The Lilian Ladele tribunal

A tag has been placed on The Lilian Ladele tribunal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

fails WP:NOT#NEWS There is no specifically entity entitled "The Lillian Ladele tribunal" - it was just an employment tribunal like any other. This is regurgitated news reports, all expressing Ladele's side of the case and therefore also in breach of WP:NPOV Also shoddily researched: the woman's name is Lillian not "Lilian"!

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 86.144.76.209 (talk) 14:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Allow me to repeat what you were already told in the automatic message above: "Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself". It also says this clearly on the template on the article in bold! You action has been rv'd. You may use a Hangon to give your reasons as to why the request for deletion is incorrect, but you will need to be more specific than the comment made in the edit summary. 86.144.76.209 (talk) 16:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Not actually a new editor, my IP is not fixed. The correct procedure is to allow an admin to assess the article. From my POV, it's an unbalanced news article with a non-existent title, misspelled subject name and I'm happy for an admin to agree or not: if you want to correct the article, feel free. Regards 86.144.76.209 (talk) 16:35, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I tend to prefer it if the wider community or admins make these decisions: they may well go for AFD, but am happy to leave that up to them. Balancing the article might just help if/when it goes to AFD. Ditto the spelling. Apologies if these messages appear a bit odd - English not even my second language! :-) 86.144.76.209 (talk) 16:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

May I suggest that you simple change the redirect (and spelling) to the article for The Christian Institute? It already covers the case in a more accurate manner. 86.144.76.209 (talk) 16:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dali Temple image.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dali Temple image.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 15:26, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

British biodiversity

Hi SP-KP, I was wondering if you were interested in contributing to a British Biota wikiproject? It seems a lot of the work you do doesn't come under any specific wikiproject, is very relevent to this project, and it'd be great if all the flora and fauna of Britain could easily be accessed as one. I'm happy to do most of the work setting everything up, I just was wondering if there was sufficient need for such a project. The project would have a wide coverage to include things like: Red Deer, British avifauna, Wet woodland, British NVC community W1 (Salix cinerea - Galium palustre woodland), List of bees, wasps and ants recorded in Britain, and everything else to do with British flora, fauna and its conservation. If you have any thoughts it'd be great if you would get back to me. Cheers, Jack (talk) 16:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

If you want to put your name down to support the proposal that'd be great. Cheers, Jack (talk) 19:32, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, but I've already mentioned it at almost 20 TOL projects. I feel like a dirty spammer... Jack (talk) 20:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Common Guillemot

Hi SP-KP.

1. I've extended the lead section but not referenced it yet.
2. I hadn't heard about yellow-legged birds - does the reference say how common these birds might be? I think I read that chick's legs are yellow and become grey as they develop. I'll have to dig out that article.
3. re: references I'm trying to keep all the references in the same style. Do you mind if I move your footnotes into the reference section?
4. I see that you're interested in Lundy. I'm the bar manager in the Marisco Tavern! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grantus4504 (talk • contribs) 07:14, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've included the yellow-billed bird in the description of the adults Common_Guillemot#Description does this look ok? Grantus4504 (talk) 22:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Conventions

Yes, I would be interested in working on conventions somewhere. Thanks. I don't have a problem with Str not wanting it up there -- but it got wiped out so fast that I couldn't keep track of what he was agreeing or disagreeing with.Ben Asher (talk) 20:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

The text he wrote is clearly visible in the "hidden text" section, placed inside a box. Str1977 ^(talk) 20:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi -- I'm back. Won't have much time today, but would be interested in working on your idea in some safe place. You were suggesting a subpage on my user space? Where would such a thing ultimately go? And could it include definitions that are misdirected between different POVs?Ben Asher (talk) 16:03, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

WP:BGBI banner

Hi SP-KP, when placing the Biota of Great Britain and Ireland banner on relevant talk pages, it'd be great if you could add |class=|importance= so as not to create further work in the future. Great work so far though. Cheers, Jack (talk) 14:02, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Tarr Steps & bats

Hi, If you have a minute could you take a look at Tarr Steps and particularly the flora & fauna in the Nature reserve section. Another editor has added these & I've been trying to tidy it up but barbastrelle bat is defeating me - it could be Barbastelle Bat or Pipistrelle Bat - do you have any sources which would know?— Rod ^talk 21:42, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Review of Avon Gorge

Just a note to let you know, as a major contributor to this article, that Avon Gorge has been placed on hold following its GA Sweeps Review, which can be found here. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 12:56, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

This article passed its GA review.— Rod ^talk 13:46, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Cheddar Gorge and Caves

The same GA Sweeps Review as mentioned above has picked up Cheddar Gorge and Caves & I've been expanding/improving the article - there is lots of rare flora & fauna I'd welcome your expert eye on my editing of this section.— Rod ^talk 21:04, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm stopping for tonight so any time you are free would be great - Malleus Fatuorum who did the review is obviously watching it as well.— Rod ^talk 21:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

This article passed its GA review.— Rod ^talk 13:45, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Blackdown Hills

Hi, I've just put Blackdown Hills up for GA. if you had a minute to look at the ecology section that would be great.— Rod ^talk 13:48, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - if it passes I'm going to nominate "Geography of Somerset" for a Featured Topic which would include Cheddar Gorge which you nominated for GA - see User:Rodw/Sandbox/GTnomination - would you have any objections?— Rod ^talk 22:01, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
