David, thanks for your note. Please do expand the article - I had a suprisingly difficult time find decent sources for it and there's so much more to say.

By the way, do you know that when you post a message to a talk page you can sign it by typing 4 tildes (~~~~) which creates something like this: Ian ≡ talk 01:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to ask for any help if you feel you need it. Regards -- Ian ≡ talk 01:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rotto Cottages

That should be a separate list article! SatuSuro 01:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User Page

Has anybody pointed out that your info should be on user page, and that talk page is for exhcanging messages yet? You show up as a red link on watchlists and it looks really odd :) A simple cut and paste could do it!SatuSuro 02:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Then the other thing is, the more venturous you get (like the list of cottages on rotto) you can over time attract vandals, and other interesting creatures that are not necessarily as friendly as ian or snotty, and they will attempt to reconfigure your pages - which means that it is possible that Ian and drew/snotty or possibly myself will have your user and talk page on our watchlists - and we monitor each others user pages to make sure they are not vandalised. In case you didnt know that.

Your "advertising yourself" as you have done - is usually strongly advised against by many - if you trawl user pages - many have pseudonyms, and refuse to give personal details... wiki for that matter is what i would call "goldfishbowl": every word is picked up by google and parallel universe wiki's, of which there are at least two. Smile :) while everyone is watching you!

Anyway, just remember it is better to err on the side of caution in the wiki world, if you wish to be led down the dark path (unless snotty/drew, or ian or others have communicated ouside of wiki about all this) just trawl into some of the black, and dark side of the place - just type in something you dont particularly like, or something you find morally abhorent (oops you are a journo - maybe there isnt) and type it in, and there it is an article about it! Best Wishes! SatuSuro 08:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC) If easily offended by things - they're all in here![reply]

Happy? Its up to you. Hey I might be critical - but we're perthites, we got to watch out for each other! I mean I used to go to school a couple of blocks away from where you live, and I know some of your predecesssors or compatriots, that's not that many degrees of separation? :)

Re your user page - If you havent been given the line on the degrees of separation re the info, all you is need sub pages, or links - and that is usually enough - take my sub pages, you could probably work out who I am on my silly userbox page gone mad, but it's not accessed very much dosnt show on recent changes because I am rarely there. Some females had photos on their user pages, and have found less problems by removing them.

Also - vip - the second you get enough on this talk page, or if you get a raver like me and you dont like to be reminded of the tripe that I have laid upon you - all you have to do is archive your talk page - it's a cinch - and there is no fixed size/length of the page at which you choose to archive it - best to get the practice in before you really need it!

Best Wishes from the hills, SatuSuro 12:33, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Justin Cartwright

I think that the problem is Wikipedia doesn't seem to have an image of Justin Cartwright. It can be difficult to obtain photographs of living people without encountering copyright problems. For advice on how you might get a picture, you could have a look at Wikipedia:Finding images tutorial.

Your article is excellent; all I did was a bit of tidying up.

Two other thoughts: In Every Face I Meet is listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/List of notable books/4. I wondered if you might feel able to have a go at that?

I clicked on "What links here", and found there is a mention of Justin Cartwright writing a spin-off novel to The New Avengers (TV series). Can we be sure this is the same person?. CarolGray 18:18, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ian Constable

Hi David, Normally if you mis-name an article, all you have to do is press the "move" tab and enter the correct name. I moved it to "Ian Constable" without any problems, so I don't know why you had a problem. Not to worry though, its fixed now. It looks like a nice article - I'll have a read. One tip: we don't cite academic qualifications for individuals - honorifics and only in certain cases. "Ian Jeffrey Constable AO" would normally suffice. More on that is at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies). Cheers. -- I@n 07:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Andrew 02 JPG (Large).jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Andrew 02 JPG (Large).jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

Andrew Godfrey

Notability is still borderline in my opinion, but that may be because I'm from the States and don't have knowledge of him. I'm feeling generous, so off goes the {{notability}} tag. G'day. Realkyhick 06:14, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nattrass

Hi David, I reverted the edit you made to Nattrass. Unless this another reason is why he is notable, it probably does not need inclusion in the article. It reeks a bit of muckraking, check the policy on living peoples biographies before adding to them. Let me know if you disagree, if you have damning (with a good citation) I would not object to inclusion of it. ;-) Regards, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 03:12, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi david good to see youre still around despite whatever - the format you are composing in is not really standard wikipedia format - hope you dont mind if i play with it a bit at some point - the tag on the talk page and the category at the bottom are there as basic insurance - you need them as early as possible from the lurking demons :) Satu Suro 06:58, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have so many bits and pieces re the media awards and liz article -if we could meet up for a coffee in the cbd sometime in the next week or so we could probably sort out more problems face to face than we ever could by email - email my gmail in 'email this user' in the left column - so I get the right connection - i'll trade my mobile number and we might arrange a time - cheers Satu Suro 09:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC) If that is not a viable option - there is probably about 4-5 emails over some of the issues of the media awards article i need to tackle on - and about 3 or 4 over the liz article - cheers Satu Suro 09:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

nomination for deletion

A tag has been placed on Scoop (journalism magazine), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

not enough info, irrelevant

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on 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. LukeTheSpook (talk) 02:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Lovekin drive sign.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Lovekin drive sign.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 12:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please have a look at what i did to it - it needs more third party refs to get through the notability hoops - please do not leave half eaten dog breakfasts lying around like that - its better to create like that on a sub page and get one of us to do the fancy work on it than putting it out there - less aggravating - cheers Satu Suro 11:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The West Editors

My main concern is seeing ?? in lists like those... makes it look like OR. AFAIK, Dan O'Sullivan was only Editor-in-Chief , not the actual editor. The only ref I could find other than my own OR was a google cache version of an old UniQ media history studies newsletter- not really a RS. I'm not normally a tagger, more a fix it myself editor, but I didn't have access to the latest 175 years inserts to check. Feel free to directly ref them and remove the tag, but I'm pretty sure O'Sullivan shouldn't be in the list. Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 05:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...I'm not sure I've got any idea what you're talking about. As far as I can see, I've touched Alannah MacTiernan once, and that was just to revert random vandalism. Rebecca (talk) 07:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism answers

Hi David. I checked your contributions to verify that you are acting in good faith and I stumbled across you questions, so here are some answers:

Why do you do it?

To help Wikipedia and to unwind. Instead of playing some silly flash game, why not 'play' against vandals and do something useful at the same time. There are tools like WP:HUGGLE that allow to revert vandalism very quickly; up to in the order of 8 edits (revert changes on 4 articles and warn the 4 users responsible) in a single minute. Reverting vandalism is a lot faster than creating vandalism.

Should politicians' staffers edit their employers' entries?

No, because it is hard to write from a neutral point of view (WP:NPOV) if you are so closely involved. And as WikiScanner showed, the edits can far from neutral.

Why do you think people vandalise entries?

Usually to gain attention, but the case of politics to let their own opinion/conviction/personal truth be heard. There is a good essay about this: WP:COATRACK.

Hope this is useable for you and if you have more questions, feel free to put them here. Rror (talk) 12:37, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your interview request

Sure, ask me any questions you like. Best, Brendan Moody (talk) 14:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"How is it you're able to detect vandalism so quickly?"

There are a few different ways people find out about cases of vandalism. There's a page called Recent changes where you can see all the changes to articles that have been made in the past few minutes. People check the edits listed on that page to see which ones are vandalism. That's how I found the vandalism on Matt Birney back in 2006. If people want to keep an eye on the changes made to specific pages, users with accounts can use a watchlist that will show how those pages have been changed within the past few days. There are also programs that some people use to make finding vandalism easier, but I don't know much about them.

"Why do you do it?"

Back in late 2005/early 2006 I spent a lot of time checking Special:RecentChanges for vandalism because I wanted to get more involved in Wikipedia and removing vandalism was an easy way to contribute without making the intellectual effort necessary to write articles or produce other substantial content. (I wasn't so cynical about my own laziness at the time, of course.) These days I mostly only remove vandalism from pages I'm already watching for some other reason- it's almost a reflex to check my watchlist and make whatever alterations seem necessary.

"Do you think politicians' staffers should also do it?"

If it's just something uncontroversial like removing vandalism, it's probably not going to be much of a problem. However, there have been some recent scandals (tempests in a teapot, I personally think) about politicians and their staffers changing articles, so it might be better to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Provided the changes they make don't damage the articles in any way, I'm not sure I have an opinion one way or the other. Other people with more experience/authority on Wikipedia will think differently, I'm sure.

"Why do people vandalise Wikipedia entries?"

For the same kinds of reasons people commit petty vandalism in real life, I think: it feels daring, or it feels cool, or they like to mess up others' work, or they're bored and can't find anything else to do with their time.

"Why do some politicians have entries, and some do not?"

Mostly, it depends on whether someone has been interested enough to start an article about the politician in question. Because of the sheer number of topics it tries to include, Wikipedia has inconsistent coverage of all kinds of things, and new articles are being started all the time.

Wikipedia

[1] It'd be wonderful if someone wrote a piece about all of the good things in Wikipedia. Things like a free resource for everyone; a depth of coverage you won't find anywhere else; the camaraderie and collaborations between online volunteers; real-life experts lending their time to improve the project; the excitement of being a part of a history defining event; and so on. Vandalism is just part of the background noise, its not what defines us. Moondyne 06:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Sometimes there are generally positive items about WP." Sometimes, but not often. "It's unrealistic to expect wholly-positive coverage of anything". True, we even have a policy regarding that! See also meta:Positive tone. David, I wasn't wanting to have a dig at you personally, I was just venting my spleen, related to some other issues but perhaps triggered by the article.

I don't think my free time is going to increase substantially so I'll try to keep an eye on it and I've left a note on the talk page about WP:BLP. I suspect the people that seem to have some sort of negative agenda will continue to push their viewpoint on this article, and if that happens the issue probably needs to be raised at the BLP Noticeboard so that more people can keep an eye on the article and help clean it up.

Forgotten password or a doppelgänger?

User talk:Dcohen99 just created David Cohen (crime journalist). Any relation to you? The-Pope (talk) 15:57, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced previous comments as someone else might have got up to that - and apologise if I might have offended but - for all the coffees we had in the dark past - concerned that there has been no reply or explanation in over a week about the issue Satu Suro 00:42, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Bruce Guthrie (editor)

The article Bruce Guthrie (editor) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bruce Guthrie (editor)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bruce Guthrie (editor) 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Dusti^*poke* 10:08, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article.

Nomination of Mr Ward for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mr Ward is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mr Ward until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Ignorant Armies^?! 13:23, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Centre for e-Health

The article Centre for e-Health has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no significant coverage in independent reliable sources

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for April 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eric Edgar Cooke, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Presumed Guilty.
