Don't delete db-empty tags

Please don't delete a tag. If you dispute the tag, explain why on the talk page for the article. An editor may remove the tag, not you. Please explain (on the article talk page) why this is notable and should be included in Wikipedia Brian 14:44, 19 June 2006 (UTC)btballReply

Cathays, Cardiff

edit

Hiya. Thanks for your info. I'm trying to introduce some information about the political map of cardiff. I've added some info about the Cathays electoral ward, but this article was originally about the suburb. Hopefully, not to cause confusion, I think it might be appropriate for the ward to have its own article. Do you agree with this? Do you know what geographical areas are located in the ward? Should it include references to Cardiff city centre, Cathays and Cathays Park?(Sloman 22:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC))Reply

Commodore Hotel

edit

The article Commodore Hotel has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for 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. NawlinWiki 04:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Theology

Hi there! I just saw your user page, and was wondering what theology is actually like at uni. I don't know anyone who is even doing that subject? Is it fun and is it worth it? --pizza1512 Talk Autograph 21:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Keeping Up Appearances

edit

Firstly, "Bouquet" is capitalised to reflect the fact that its how a surnamed is prounced. People have always seem to be happy with it, but I'm not that fussed about that issue. On the car issue, this has been discussed you might notice on the TalkPage some while ago. Information about her car, and the car of the Hislops (who aren't even minor characters) is trivia and thus unnecessary. It is not a major running joke. There are many minor running jokes/plot lines in Keeping Up Appearances and if we listed them all it would get riduclous (like it was before the TalkPage discussion). Information like this belongs on a fansite, not Wikipedia. --UpDown 14:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

RE: Captain Hector Barbossa

edit

Hmm, I'm still not entirly sure on the whole matter, my best bet so far is to bring it up on the talk page of his page, and if everyone does agree, of most do anyway, I guess it can be changed. Captain Drake Van Hellsing 23:45, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Abraham Simpson

His name in the show is Grampa, not the "typical" Grandpa, so please do not change this. Thank you, Ctjf83 20:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cheltenham Minster, St Mary's, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Minster (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Please claim your upload(s): File:Pontypool war memorial.jpg

edit

Hi, Thank you, for uploading this file.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm some details,

If it's your own work, please include {{own}}, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add |claimed=yes to the {{media by uploader}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{information}} where appropriate).

If it's not your own work please provide as much sourcing/authorship information as you are able to.

This will assist those reviewing the many many "free" images on commons that have not yet been transfered to Commons.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:30, 27 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
