Dave Benson Phillips

After receiving a friendly notice from Wikipedia, I have replaced the piece that was taken out. As Dave's manager and friend, I have tackled much wrongful information about about his career over the past few years. From 'Facebook's RIP DBP' to 'Football 365's' DBP Death Hoax. Even Wikipedia carried an item citing that Dave had worked for the adult entertainment channel, Babestation. This of course is not true. The false Dave Benson Phillips accounts that sent abusive messages to people who joined the sites, because they actually thought it was him. Link to that the years of abusive and racist telephone calls and emails to his office, phony job offers and generally referring to him as a 'retard'.

What is abundantly clear is that people believe what has been written on Wikipedia and other social information sites, and people believed what they read about Dave.

Over the years, I have have managed to get the sites to erase the harmful information about Dave, although some examples still remain. Wikipedia was my latest one to approach.

All I want to do is to write the truth about him.

What's wrong with that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RMasters3434 (talkcontribs) 18:44, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Eurovision: Recent changes

Hello,

Please note that there have been some changes to operations surrounding Eurovision articles, these being that:

  • Template names have now been modernised and/or megred into super-templates, for example Countries in the Eurovision Song Contest has now been merged into Template:Eurovision Song Contest making it even easier to find everything under one template. If you are planning to create a new template, please keep the standardised titles in mind. Other templates have been modernised and a full list of them can be found here.
  • The Eurovision Song Contest and Junior Eurovision Song Contest articles have now been standardised to keep a consitancy throughout the project and to the genral reader too. Skeleton article drafts can be found for Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year.

If you have any questions, please ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision.

Hi. When you recently edited Alan Dedicoat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Newsreader (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.

Good afternoon Coolguy22468

I have noticed that a few entries I have posted regarding Freemasonry in Livingston and the surrounding towns have been removed by you.

Why is this? Freemasonry is a global fraternal body devoted to charity and benevolence, I do not understand why an organisation which has been part of life in Mid Calder (for instance) for over 200 years would not be worthy of a small mention on the wikipedia page.

I understand that the public has this perception that it is a bigoted organisation due to to the association with Orange lodges, but the only things the two have in common is the word lodge.

I'm sure if you do a little research you would agree with me and allow an ancient organisation a little room on wikipedia.

Thank you for your time

Orphaned non-free media (File:Central tonight logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Central tonight logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Thomas Alleynes's High School

Hi,

Several edits are required on the Thomas Alleynes's High School page. The Headteacher name is incorrect. I would like to update the page with latest school GCSE results and offer new information. I already attempted to try change but these were removed as it was deemed to be "Vandalism" . Only want to enhance the page. Therefore, if I update can these be retained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itmanager88 (talkcontribs) 13:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Thomas Alleyne's High School - Further Updates

Thanks for the response, very much appreciated. First, apologies if the protocol followed at my first change was not correct. I am new to Wikipedia. I have been asked by the school to keep the page relevant and up to date. Hence, the reason for deletion. With this in mind as the news story of approximately three years ago surrounding a teacher who is no longer employed at the school would you consider that for removal. Other information I would like to include will be factual and only enhance the information already included. I will also learn the correct procedures!! Again, Thanks for your reply!!Itmanager88 (talk) 20:42, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Thomas Alleyne's High School - Further Communication

Hi, Can I declare that I am an employee at TAHS and have been asked to keep TAHS page updated, factual and relevant. When I use the term "our" in previous updates that you have deleted, it is in the tense that the school understands that the page is relevant to "our" organisation and not advertising. Would you be willing to declare your interest in Thomas Alleyne's High School. Many thanks!!Itmanager88 (talk) 19:35, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


Just to say I respect your anonymity but wanted to declare my own interest to you and any readers. As I have stated I am new to wikipedia but was interested to read the following Wikipedia:Ownership_of_articles

I was particularly interested in the following:

This page in a nutshell: No one "owns" an article or any page at Wikipedia. If you create or edit an article, others can make changes, and you can not prevent them from doing so. In addition, you should not undo their edits without good reason. Disagreements should be calmly resolved, starting with a discussion on the article talk page.

My reading of this allows me to edit some of your comments in the same way that you have edited my comments. Particularly, the statement "others can make changes and you cannot prevent them from doing so" I am interested, on your viewpoint on this specifically. Many Thanks!!meus optimus est meus optimus (talk) 20:33, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
