'Against the Spirit of Mos'!

See this and this you're adding to the Dundonald against the spirit of Mos and wholly wrong in terms of the way titles are used. AllsoulsDay (talk) 09:02, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Thomas Barnes Cochrane, 11th Earl of Dundonald

A tag has been placed on Thomas Barnes Cochrane, 11th Earl of Dundonald 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Circular Linking

Please do not keep linking Marques do Maranhão in the Cochrane article. The link just redirects back to the original page which is extremely annoyoing and renders the whole exercise pointless. If you create an article called Marques do Maranhão, then it would be appropriate. Incidentally I notice that you tend to use links excessively. Links should normally only be made once per article and should go to a root article rather than to a disambiguation page or a page which bears no relatrion to the subject under discussion because the word has more than one meaning. Please read this section of the Manual of Style. Thank you. Dabbler (talk) 21:54, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
