Huw Edwards

Hi. Was the recent move discussed anywhere beforehand? Deb (talk) 14:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

It was not. Andysmith248 (talk) 21:17, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Don't you think it might have been slightly controversial? Deb (talk) 22:19, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I see that you have moved Huw Edwards to Huw Edwards (disambiguation). Are you suggesting that the journalist is a primary topic and intending to move Huw Edwards (journalist) to Huw Edwards? If not then we should probably revert the move to avoid leaving a malplaced disambiguation page. What do you think? Certes (talk) 22:15, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Yes, I do think the journalist should be the primary topic and Huw Edwards (journalist) should be moved to Huw Edwards. Andysmith248 (talk) 09:24, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. The journalist certainly first comes to my mind but I would suggest starting a RM as it may be considered controversial. Certes (talk) 15:11, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

I have now requested that Huw Edwards (journalist) be moved to Huw Edwards on the Huw Edwards (journalist) talk page. Thanks for your suggestion. Andysmith248 (talk) 18:23, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Richard Block (businessman) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Richard Block (businessman), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. This article is a BLP and all information should be referenced, so please add citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thanks for creating My Life, Our Times.

User:Rosguill while reveiwing this page as a part of our page curation process had the following comments:

While the subject clearly meets WP:NBOOK based on the results of an internet search, note that the references currently listed are insufficient for demonstrating notability: the only actual independent coverage are sources #4 and #6, and #6 is the Daily Mail, which is generally not considered a reliable source (see its entry at WP:RSP), although it's perhaps acceptable for book reviews. At any rate, I'd suggest citing more reviews, both to clearly establish that the subject meets notability guidelines, and to also flesh out the article a bit more.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

Speedy deletion nomination of Premiership of Boris Johnson

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Premiership of Boris Johnson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. --Nahal^(T) 11:27, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Your edit on the Nigel Farage article

Hi,

I want to ask you about this addition of text you made to the Nigel Farage article. The way the information from the sources was summarised was incorrect in a number of ways. It is particularly critical in a biography of a living person that what we write is factual and correct, or that at the very least it is faithful to the sources given. Could you have a look (it's from a few months ago so you probably need to refresh your memory) and get back to me here please? Thanks. Oska (talk) 16:27, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, could you tell me what is specifically wrong with that edit on the Nigel Farage article. From what I can see I moved some of the text around and added the info that Farage confirmed he was living in Chelsea with a French politician, which is what the two sources say that are quoted. Andysmith248 (talk) 20:58, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

I see now that I put his house down as worth 12 million instead of 4 million, so yes it was a mistake on my part. In that edit I took the Independent's word that he was sharing the property with Ferrari. Andysmith248 (talk) 21:10, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your replies and sorry for my delay in getting back to you.

Yes, the two things you mention in your second reply are the things I wanted to address. The 12 vs 4 million mixup is the first thing I picked up on. I thought it was just a simple matter of vandalism (typical vandalism to change a figure in an article) but then found it was introduced right at the start, which I found peculiar. On the second point the quotes from Farage are only that that person was staying at the house, yet your text read that Farage 'confirmed' that she was sharing the house with him. There's a significant difference in the two words and what they convey and we need to be fair to the subject of the article (whatever the Independent goes on to speculate) in faithfully reporting what he actually said.

I don't mean to sound officious but it might be a good idea for you to review the guidelines under Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons Oska (talk) 06:49, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

• (talk page stalker), just reiterating that just because information does exist, that doesn't mean it has to be included. Agree with Oska here re BLP. Cassianto^Talk 08:23, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

After first correcting the text, and then after further consideration, I've acted to remove the text altogether for being only WP:BLPGOSSIP. The diff is here. Oska (talk) 00:23, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Downsizing (book)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Downsizing (book), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DGG ( talk ) 03:36, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Times Radio Consensus

Hi, as above, we're close to a consensus but it would appear GDBarry isn't happy about your opinion. I full support your opinion that the list should remain as it is. I only agreed to the removal of the list to keep the peace, but as you can see from the onset of the debate, I would give my full support for the list remaining on Times Radio as it stands, with no further names being added unless they have Wikipedia articles that comply with WP:GNG. - Funky Snack (Talk) 10:05, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I will continue the conversation with you over on the article talk page so we can carry on to work to a proper resolution. Andysmith248 (talk) 21:48, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Personally, this has gotten WAY out of hand. People disagree over articles, but I've never known anything like this just because non-notable people can't be added to lists. I give it less than 24 hours before certain individuals become involved. I've been accused of harassment. Hilarious. I almost spat out my tea when I saw the accusation. - Funky Snack (Talk) 21:58, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

I've not been involved with contentions as convoluted as this either. It seems an issue so minuscule that it shouldn't have warranted editors going through the agony of following sections and sections of talk page discussion, accusations of harassment, etc. Andysmith248 (talk) 22:10, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

I fully agree! - Funky Snack (Talk) 22:13, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

May I ask for your input and for you to put your side across in the dispute resolution? - Funky Snack (Talk) 22:47, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Benjamin Butterworth (journalist)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Benjamin Butterworth (journalist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Benjamin Butterworth. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Talk page headers

Hi, I notice you've been adding {{Talk header}} to lots of pages. Please can I ask you to carefully read the guidance on the template about how it should be used, at Template:Talk_header#Should_this_be_added_to_every_talk_page? - specifically "This template does not need to be placed on every talk page, and should not be indiscriminately added to talk pages using automated editing tools."

Please can you let me know what criteria you're using for assessing whether you think a talk page needs that header added, and assure me you're not using any automated tools to add it? WaggersTALK 14:43, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

@Waggers: The guidance I have been following is from the same page you referenced, which says that "Talk pages that are frequently misused, that attract frequent debate, articles often subject to controversy, articles that typically attract new editors, and highly-visible or popular topics may be appropriate for this template." The instances where I have added the talk header have been such pages. I can confirm I am not using any automated editing tools to add the template. Andysmith248 (talk) 18:26, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, just saw lots of similar edits on my watchlist in a short space of time and thought I should check it out. :) WaggersTALK 08:57, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
