Hi

I have created an article about the Murders of Margaret and Seana Tapp. Please take a look.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:31, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

A good start. I did a copyedit, but it's mostly ok. This is Paul (talk) 17:44, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Could you please take a look at the article on Christopher Wilder. Any help is appreciated.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:31, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the case but at a quick glance it seems to read ok. This is Paul (talk) 21:08, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Scottish Labour Party leadership election edit

I actually came to that article looking to fix the date problem mentioned on the Help desk, but another editor had done it before I got there. FYI, the month= parameter is now deprecated on all the Cite xxx templates, and the full publication date should be in the date= parameter, or a bare year in year= if no more is available. I spotted the typo while looking through the wiki-text for the refs. DES ^(talk) 22:20, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Allegra Versace

I need a great editor who is neutral to a certain topic. So I am asking you to please review the article Allegra Versace and see if it is written in a Fansite tone. At the articles talk page the issue has been raised after a editor added the template. So far with no reply. If you find it to be written in a fansite tone the template should stay, if not it should be removed. When you find time for it take a look.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:24, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

I wouldn't go as far as saying it sounded like a posting from a fansite, but the page looks like it could do with a bit of a copy edit so I'll have a look over the next couple of days. This is Paul (talk) 15:04, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cara Delevigne

Hello This is Paul,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Cara Delevigne for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Officialjjones (talk) 20:12, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of Chikurubi Prison for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Chikurubi Prison is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chikurubi Prison until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 20:00, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Chikurubi Prison

The article Chikurubi Prison has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced Article - Lacks Notability

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 19:45, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

I reverted you, mainly because I'm not convinced your actions were anything but more disruptive editing. The prison has a notorious reputation, and has received much media coverage in recent years as a result. If you must nominate it for deletion, however, then an AFD request would be more appropriate in this situation. This is Paul (talk) 19:56, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

OK, I get it; thanks. It's now at WP:AFD. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 20:00, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

And I have added my thoughts. This is Paul (talk) 20:04, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of Stephanie McMichael for deletion

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Donnie Park (talk) 13:32, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The National front page

Good evening,

I would like to know what is your argument for opposing the edit. You mention the license, but I cannot concur. Both files are both front pages of the same magazine, they are both historic. The same copyrights apply. Fair use applies for both. But as I said, only one accurately depicts the current format. Kahlores (talk) 00:01, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

The onus is on you to add the right templates to the image, if you wish to upload it. As it stands the image is not licensed to be used on Wikipedia, so cannot be included in this article. If you disagree with my decision you are welcome to ask someone else. I suggest you do that actually. This is Paul (talk) 00:34, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

I've reverted you again per this discussion as you need to upload a lower resolution image in order for it to not break the copyright violation. Also from what I can see of it the masthead doesn't look that much different to the one on the launch edition. This is Paul (talk) 17:14, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

RE: United Kingdom

Hi Paul,

Sorry, didn't think I needed to explain. The way I see it is the birth place should include the United Kingdom as the sovereign state of Scotland and others, and in respect to the views of Ruth herself and others they I think would appreciate the UK being mentioned.

Gary.

Replied on your talk page. This is Paul (talk) 23:57, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry Paul. But the UK has to be mentioned. For God sake its the name of the country. I don't care whatever discussion has gone on! Anyway, I am proud of the union....and I will continue to edit it in. When I know the person that page I am editing is happy to have the UK mentioned.

Haha! 😂Merry Christmas Paul! You might as well report yourself while your at....Don't worry the next time you look at Ruths page guess what? The UK will be right back up there! — Preceding unsigned comment added by GaryFG8125 (talk • contribs) 00:22, 24 December 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GaryFG8125 (talk • contribs) 00:00, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey Gary, I'm tempted to say "haha!" because you got blocked, but that would be completely immature of me. So instead, I'll just advise you to find something more constructive to do when you get back on the 28th. BTW I am also proud of the union, and watched the Queen's Speech yesterday, as I do every Christmas, then raised a glass to her afterwards, as I enjoyed my Christmas lunch. But when it comes to Wikipedia, I endeavour to be neutral and follow consensus. Consensus here is that we use the names of constituent countries rather than the UK, and it's as simple as that really. You have a good one now. This is Paul (talk) 15:28, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
