Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014 in British television, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Channel 5 (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.

File:Jo Stafford Paul Weston in studio 1952.JPG We missed out on a copy of this about a year or so ago because it looked like the photo was taken by Metronome magazine and published in an issue that had its copyright renewed. This was sent to a newspaper and published where they called her "Doris Day". 8-( I went over it all with Crisco1492 before uploading it.

Also have this one File:Metronome January 1946.JPG. While they were both on Chesterfield Supper Club, Jo and Perry Como were named male and female singers of the year by Metronome magazine readers. (And we have this nice cover because Metronome didn't start renewing copyrights on its back issues until 1952 :)) We hope (talk) 17:16, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

I need to get some more links and the like for Paul's article. Right now have a problem with being able to put a lot of time into that--family member will be having surgery soon and I need to get that behind me first. I wouldn't mind seeing the Metronome cover replace the infobox photo on Chesterfield Supper Club; that one was a "hastily arranged" photo when someone decided the plane photo had to go. :-((( We hope (talk) 20:50, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! The Metronome cover does look better at Chesterfield Supper Club. Since Jo went back to California not long after she became a co-host, it's hard to find a good photo of her and Como together. I promise we'll get into Paul Weston's Mountain Boys (stay tuned :)) and Jo's account of how and when he proposed, etc. We hope (talk) 22:47, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Dark store

Latest comment: 10 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Paul,

You might like to add the term "dotcom centre" to the name as one that Tesco amongst others prefer to use.

Content-wise, I think that the article is certainly an improvement over what was there before, and would pass the DYK criteria as I understand them, so instead of commenting there, I direct this "review" at you here.

If you want to develop the article further, as I very much hope you will, I think it would benefit from some structure. It's clear from the sources available (and the article itself) that online sales are growing at a phenomenal rate. And while there are many guesstimates, it would be interesting to have a few more statistics, and we could add actual figures a few years on to show just how far out these were with hindsight. All these details can be grouped into its own section.

The concept is much more than just the physical store, but a revolutionary business model. The majors are organising themselves around this new channel. The concept itself is constantly evolving as outlets change their organisation and delivery method to meet growth in demand, so this could do with its own section too. It has moved from starting point – "closure due to low order quantity", through the transitional "orders fulfilled from existing stores", to the opening of a new highly automated centre in Erith. Here, it would be interesting to mention the evolution of the picking method and the scale of operation and the online integration that dovetail with the logistical aspects. One day before long, this can be a case study in supply chain management.

The concept will probably have far-reaching implications for monetisation too. What will happen to trade marketing, in-store promotions, etc? It seems to be driving out independent retailers too as the majors move into boutiques like Tesco Metro (or whatever it's called).

As you've picked a highly interesting subject to work on, and has plenty of potential for expansion, I hope that you will keep up your interest in it. Regards, -- Ohc ¡digame! 02:58, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the review and ideas. I definitely want to expand it as much as I can, but may need to find someone with a good working knowledge of business and commerce to do it full justice. Not sure how many of the figures would be available, but I'll take a look and see what I can find. Googling the term "dotcom centre" (which I hadn't done till just now) has generated a few interesting hits, so I'll do some more work on it. Thanks once again. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:52, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
ok, have posted a request on the talk page of WP:Business, so hopefully someone there can help get it into shape. Paul MacDermott (talk) 19:24, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

That's great, and it's looking good so far. I noticed some unencyclopedic language had crept in over the years, but hopefully it won't be too bad. There's also some unreferenced stuff, so I'll have to look for some sources afterwards. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:27, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Paul; I'm feeling under the weather at the moment, so copy-editing will be quite slow. I'll leave the unreffed text in situ for you to deal with, though if it's controversial or negative it must be removed per WP:BLP. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:51, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
No worries, hope you're feeling well again soon. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:52, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Sorry to trouble you again. Another editor has kind of stepped on your toes a bit and made a significant change to parts of the article this evening. I was wondering if you could check that it's ok, or whether it needs to be rolled back again. Some of it concerns me, like where he says something was "clearly co-ordinated", which could fall into the original research category. Cheers. Paul MacDermott (talk) 19:28, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
On second thoughts, don't worry about it, it's a bit unfair to ask you to do this again. I'll just restore your version and look into this later. I was a bit concerned that the other user edits infrequently, so is probably not as familiar with copy editing, something suggested by Tony Blair's and the quote mentioned above. Thanks Paul MacDermott (talk) 16:26, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi again Paul, sorry I'm a bit late replying. I'm feeling better now, thanks. ;-) I'd noticed User:Isthisuseful's changes this morning in the history. I corrected some of his mistakes—including changing Northern Rock to Northern Roach in the header! Thank you for reverting those changes for me. :-) I hope you find the c/e is going well; I'm deliberately being harsh with missing citations, weasel-wording and WP:SAID problems, which seem to be getting more frequent the lower down the article I go! I know that doesn't make for such entertaining text, but still... Anyway I'm breaking of for today (this morning at least); see you later. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:10, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for getting back to me. The ce is going great. The stuff I reverted was the section on Bid for Labour leadership, so apologies if I inadvertently undid something you'd redone. I see what you mean about the citations, etc. I'll see what else I can find. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:17, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Could you help me by moving the Miss Earth Sweden and Miss International Sweden articles into the Miss Universe Sweden article. Thank you.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:58, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

ok, I think I've done most of what you wanted. Everything is merged apart from the table at Miss Earth Sweden because the one included in Miss Universe Sweden appears to contain additional details, so I didn't want to mess that up. You might want to add a {{merge}} template to the articles, or if you're happy to copy the table straight over you could replace the one at Miss Universe Sweden and redirect Miss Earth Sweden to it. Hope this helps. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:54, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
Perfect thank you. Yes, what I ment was merge. I wrote Move, my mistake. But anyway you did what I wanted. :) Thank you!--BabbaQ (talk) 13:27, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, could someone please fix my entry for 14 February in 1989 in British television. Not sure what I've done wrong, but the cite isn't appearing properly. Thanks Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:04, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Tidied it up for you. For future reference, if you want to cite a Google Books entry, the Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books is a very handy thing to have bookmarked. Yunshui 雲‍水 12:37, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for that, I just took a look and can't believe how easy it is. I'll definitely cite everything through this from now on. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:24, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I began a discussion on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding that IP address that accused you of slander. If you have anything additional that you can add, you can bring it to administrator's attention here. (Tigerghost (talk) 00:41, 6 April 2014 (UTC))

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like it's resolved, but I've added my thoughts anyway. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 09:29, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Do you know if Wikipedia has changed its typeface or font family as it is also called? Or there is something wrong with my computer. I just saw that the typeface is a little different than before.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:12, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I still use the old-style layout where the search box is on the left, which doesn't appear to have changed. But I got timed out yesterday and the font on the regular layout (where the search box is in the top right) did appear different. It might be worth asking someone at WP:HELPDESK to see if something has been updated as things do get tweaked from time to time, and it could be this has happened here.

Billy Eckstine

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Hello, Paul the Retro! I've just reverted a whole lot of edits to the discography of this article a second time. Although they are obviously in good faith - and I notice that the first time a source was mentioned, someone has just bought a book, it seems - they make it into a terrible mess. But I feel bad about it. I see you know about Eckstine so I thought I'd invite you to investigate. Cheers, Rothorpe (talk) 02:24, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks, I'll leave that to you then, best of luck. Rothorpe (talk) 13:17, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Take a look at Anti racism demonstration in Kärrtorp 2013.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:42, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Might need a bit of copyediting, but it seems ok so far. I see somebody's added a {{notability}} template to it, but it has international sources, which always helps to prove something is significant. I actually remember seeing something about this on the news, although I'm not too familiar with what happened. This is Paul (talk) 22:02, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
