The Kinks

Ok. Do it. Edit it. It really does need it. I've done a lot of work and the hard process of getting the article at this point was quite much even for me. I think that it's excellent article as I'm a huge Kinks fan, but in a moments like these I need some respite after all. So, I do hope that the article will get better and better and there won't be any problems in seeing it rival The Beatles and Rolling Stones or the Who articles as I think that the band rivals them on many musical aspects and on some they are even better.

Good luck and regards: Painbearer 00:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Education

{{eucation}} tag seem like a good idea at the time. Not sure not so its removed. It was a bit US specific as well. --Pfafrich 21:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Template:Education

You know what? I reckon this would be a great time for you to be BOLD! Have a look at List of education topics, have a think about what we might have scope to cover, and what we should cover, and just redesign it. Or if you're not too crash hot with tables, feel free to draw an image as a BMP or whatever of your idea, and I'll try and table it up. Don't worry about getting it wrong: the great thing about wikis is that they're in a constant state of improvement.

Also, keep in mind a navigation template should link things that are already linked in some way - it's about the topics, not the articles (and their quality) per se. So Quaternary education is pretty crap, but it's nontheless a significant article in relation to higher education. Plus, we hope that articles will constantly improve.

This template should be listed on the list of nav templates, but I think because it was created by an anon, it just never happened.

What do you say? Go for it! pfctdayelise 10:54, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

As I said, be bold and go for it. You can set up one to work on in your own user space at User:Frelke/Template:Education. I have heard that the EasyTimeline syntax can be pretty hard to get used to, though.

To be honest, it has never really been clear to me what problem you perceive the existing template to have. Is it that it isn't consistent with UK terminology? eg preschool/nursery school. pfctdayelise 09:37, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Robsteadman

User:Robsteadman is leaving Wikipedia, and asked me to delete all his pages. I checked for "what links here" and it led me to a sub page of your user page. I checked your contributions, wondering for a moment if you were Rob returning under a new name, and found that you had copied all his talk pages into subpages of your own user page. I

• User:Frelke/RS

• User:Frelke/RSBin

• User:Frelke/RSArchive1

• User:Frelke/RSArchive3

• User:Frelke/RSArchive4

Can you explain why you are keeping a copy of these pages?

Do I have to ? Frelke 06:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Have you any connection to Rob?

Other than thinking he is a very dangerous moron ? Frelke 06:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm trying to get admin feedback as to what the best thing to do is when someone announces that he's leaving, and I'd like this cleared as well.

What "this" do you want cleared ? Are you saying that you want to clear all records of what has been happening in relation to RS over the last couple of months. Well actually that is what RS wants, and I am inclined to believe that anything RS wants is bad for WP. Frelke 06:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks.

AnnH ♫ 23:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure of the procedure/rules for deleteing users (and it seems to me that you're not either) but I think this is a much better way to do it and is what should have been done for RS. Otherwise he is still controlling his talk and user pages, which is what a lot of the fuss was about in the first place. Frelke 06:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Honorifics

The answer's in the word "inline", i.e. in the running text of the article. (It basically means "don't start articles with "The Right Honourable".") Proteus (Talk) 18:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I was part of the discussion that resulted in the current policy. If it implies (not infers) that, then it's wrong. Sorry. Proteus (Talk) 18:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Revert

I have reverted your change to The Right Honourable. The reason is that that self-reference is not appropriate, since it is attempting to insert WP guidance into an article that has nothing to do with WP. Looking over what has been happening I can see why you did it, but in any case, I don't think it will work. Incidentally, AFAIK, the consensus has been that Rt. Hon. (most other titles/ honorifics) is not used at the start of the article, but can be used in info boxes. Thanks CaptainJ ^{(t | c | e)} 18:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The thing is though, I didn't click through to the Rt Hon article, because I didn't expect an explanation there, even as a new user. More experienced users, who may feel more bold in making changes, should know about the Manual of Style anyway. The only suggestion I can make is a link at the top of the discussion page of Rt.Hon, and perhaps other articles?CaptainJ ^{(t | c | e)} 18:57, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Ruth Kelly

Could I ask that if you are happy with the article as it is, that further debate on what exactly defines nationality (especially in an area as complex as this - see British_Isles (terminology)) is not going to be of benefit, and in any case not especially relavent to the Ruth Kelly page. I have made a similar request on User_talk:Robertsteadman#Ruth_Kelly. Regards, MartinRe 08:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Isobel Lang

I understand you removed that chunk of text from Isobel Lang article because direct copy and paste of large portions of external articles is apparently not allowed. So if I change a few words (e.g. lives -> resides, interests -> hobbies etc.) will it be OK to put it back? Thanks. Jameboy 10:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Editor re-starts misbehaving after being unblocked

Hello, Frelke. I hope, before I go to bed tonight, to post something at WP:ANI about Rob and Neuropean. I feel bad about what has happened, because I saw the distressed message Neuropean sent Rob (and had also seen some of the frivolous RFCUs and RFIs that Rob was filing), and I saw that it was obvious that Rob was stalking Neuropean, and I intended to do something, but didn't move quickly enough. As I see it, Rob was blocked indefinitely, and was unblocked on condition that he would behave himself. I have undeleted the old histories of the Robsteadman user and talk pages, and am also looking at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Deskana for diffs. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 22:30, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, Frelke. The report took longer than I expected, and I didn't want to clog up the noticeboard, so I made the main report here, and linked to it at WP:AN/I. My ANI/I report can be seen here. With regard to the deleted archives, I don't see any reason to undelete them. They were deleted at Rob's request, when he was leaving, along with his user page and talk page. I undeleted his user page and talk page solely for the purpose of making diffs available for evidence, not because he's been a bad boy and this is something he doesn't want. In any case, archives are not essential. Some users don't archive at all; they just delete stuff when the page gets too full. Everything is in the now-restored history. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 21:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

And by the way, how about removing the "dangerous moron" comment from your page? I know it was a while ago, but still, no point in kicking someone when he's down. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 21:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that. It might be better to strike the original words through (or maybe the whole sentence), rather than use asterisks. The asterisks give a slight implication of "I'm-thinking-such-awful-things-that-I-can't-put-them-in-print", so could be seen as worse than the original, regardless of intention! To strike something through, just put <s> immediately before and /<s> immediately after, and it will come through like this.

On a related matter, Neuropean has posted here, asking for Rob to be given another chance. I'm going in to work shortly, so won't be posting there just now, but as I see it, he doesn't want to be responsible for Rob's block, since he did some provoking. However, Rob was violating his parole long before the Anne Frank's cats article was nominated for deletion. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 07:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Marian College

Hi, Frelke. I admit that I hadn't checked the website and it seems I'm mistaken. I used to attend Sandymount High, which I knew was on Herbert Road, but when I googled it it turned out that SH was 1, Herbert Road, thus making the dividing line between the two streets where the two schools met, rather than Herbert Bridge, which I'd assumed. I've fixed the relevant entries for Landowne Road and Herbert Road. Well spotted! Autarch 18:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

FIPS

Under FIPS, the code for the Philippines is RP. It can be found under the R's in List of FIPS country codes. Before my edit, it looks like someone confused the FIPS and ISO 3166-1 a2 codes for the Philippines. Nothing has been nuked. :) - Thanks, Hoshie 13:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:IACRound.svg

I appreciate your efforts in attempting to create an image free of copyright for use on Template:Irish Defence Forces. However, the image you created is a derivate work of Image:Ie round.gif. Yes, two of the colors you used in your creation are slightly different than the original, and there is a black line around and separating the three zones, but the image proportions are still precisely the same. The subtle changes you made are not enough to free the image of copyright concerns. For example, you can't take the logo from Coke and make slight color changes and add a few lines and say this is your work alone, and you can do whatever you like with it. If you tried to make and sell a hundred thousand t-shirts using such a logo, the lawyers from Coca-Cola would be on your doorstep very rapidly. As a result of this, I've retagged the image you made as a {{logo}}.

Since it is not free of copyright, it must be used under terms of fair use. Images used under these terms that are not used in the main article namespace are subject to deletion. I have therefore tagged the image with {{orfud}}.

Also, obviously the intent is to represent the Irish Air Corps with this emblem that you have created. However, if you create another image that can not count as a derivative work, it will not be the actual emblem of the Irish Air Corps, and thus using such an image on a template to identify that group would be as innaccurate as using a Coke logo to represent Pepsi.

Again, I appreciate your efforts but they are insufficient to our needs. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. --Durin 13:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Horley

Frelke

I am a little concerned that you have edited the 'Horley' entry to remove some vandalism to the article and have attributed this vandalism to me. I assume the vandalism you are referring to is the derogatory comment appended to the name "Andy Thompson". If you look at the log, you will find that this wasn't my edit at all, it is attributable to an unnamed user on ISP 193.60.199.36. My edit was to remove two unnecessary words from the paragraph about the development on the town so that the entry made sense (It actually says this and gives the location of the edit in the comment I made with the edit). While I applaud any effort to prevent this resource being used for scurrilous and unfounded remarks (As it happens, I've met Andy Thompson and have a great deal of respect for him), I feel that you should take a bit of care before accusing anyone of something they have not in fact done. I accept that I am new to Wikepedia and if I have offended any of the etiquette for this group I apologise and would appreciate guidance, I find it a little disconcerting, however, that my first attempt to help should meet with this response.

And indeed Serge did that against the consensus of the other editors on the page. Its back to the simple version now. pschemp | talk 19:48, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Frelke. Do you agree that If the article is moved from Cork, then Cork (city) is the consensus title for the article? You clearly feel strongly that the primary use of the (case insensitive) sequence of letters C-O-R-K is the name of the city in Ireland, not the stopper in a bottle of wine, or the bark the stopper is made from. Do you think that the way forward from here is to announce a possible move on WP:RM and hold a 5-day poll on whether to move the article from Cork to Cork (city), or do you think you can accept that there's a consensus on talk:Cork to move it, even though you personally disagree with the move? I don't mind if you choose to answer here, my talk page, email to me, or on talk:Cork. I probably won't read your answer for 8 hours or so. --Scott Davis ^Talk 14:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Croke Park Fixture Table

It is entirely likely that, once the IRFU and FAI have finished building their brand spanking new stadium that is going to cost them €365 million, they're not likely to want to use Croke Park anymore are they? As for the excuse "the fixtures aren't listed on the IRFU and FAI pages", that's spurious at best. These fixtures, for the time that they last, are historic and a list of them should be maintained.

Ed Joyce

You asked: "Just wondering why you reverted the edit to Ed Joyce. It looked like a perfectly good edit to me? It may be a sock but it looks like you have removed some very useful info."

Abusive sockpuppet accounts are not permitted to edit. When we catch one, we try to revert all edits. By definition, any edit from a blocked user is a bad edit. You are welcome to reintroduce the edit yourself if you wish. This would not be considered a revert. You would be responsible for the edit just as if you were the first person to perform that edit. --Yamla 14:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

You said: "Just for future reference, given that there are no block logs for that IP, how do you know he is an abusive sock?"

I wasn't reverting the IP's edits, I was reverting edits by Maddy92 (talk · contribs), a couple of revisions earlier. That is a confirmed abusive sockpuppet, see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Prince Godfather. And thanks for keeping people honest! --Yamla 16:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

You said: "I picked that up in the meantime. Given that the IP editor edited the same paragraph, how were you able to isolate his/her changes and keep them whilst reverting Maddy92's edits? Have you some cool editing tool that allows that?"

I wish. That would be very very useful, particularly when reverting contributions from a different long-term vandal, Verdict (talk · contribs). No, I did it by hand using the history. --Yamla 16:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

If you look at Guildford, there is a page for Guildford and a page for Guildford (borough). The info box take one to the borough which is where it should go. Now the link goes to Woking the town because I've only just made Woking (borough). What I need to know is how to go into the info box code above and change it from Woking to Woking (borough).

Surrey map

I strongly disagree with your view on the map. In my experience, one of the most important things people wish to know about a settlement is precisely where it is. If they don't know where Surrey is, there can check the locator map in the corner of the new map; if they don't know what it is, we have an article on the topic. A specific example of the usefulness of the map: several places in Surrey had their co-ordinates entered incorrectly; no-one had spotted this using the original small-scale map as it is not very precise, and it is difficult to check whether a location is shown in west Surrey or in mid Kent. The other mapping resources are still available; in my view, the new map is an excellent way of communicating the location clearly in the more limited amount of detail which is feasible in an encyclopaedia article.

Rob's userpage

Both you and the anonymous user (who is presumably Rob, but that doesn't matter really) are making a lot of fuss over nothing. Blank page, page with tag on, who cares? He's long gone now, and the only thing inbetween "blank page" and "tagged page" is "deleted page". That's why I did it. I can understand why you want it tagged, but you're both making a lot of fuss over nothing, really. --Deskana (fry that thing!) 10:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Rob gets reverted pretty much wherever he goes anyway. And I'm sorry for wording my comment carelessly; you're probably not making a fuss but it's still more fuss than it's worth, if you understand my meaning. He's not worth it. --Deskana (fry that thing!) 12:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, people can think what they want. If he wants to go around insisting it was all us and there's no evidence he ever did anything, then there's something seriously wrong with his head. --Deskana (fry that thing!) 17:59, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, I am more than annoyed by your reversion behavior and attitude, which accomplish nothing positive for WP. See Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. No one needs to provide notification or request permission to edit articles here.. I did no more than take the sentence from the 'ports and harbors' category and make it into opposite sentence that would then make sense in the 'port cities' category. If the 'ports and harbors' sentence is correct, then so is the sentence I put into 'port cities' category. And I said nothing about towns, since that is being discussed in CfD--a discussion I see you are completely losing. Hmains 16:31, 4 July 2007 (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.
