Bounce FM

I was referring to the actions of the admin who deleted it, even though there was fair use rationale present. Good work on adding it, too!  Grue  20:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

NUFC infobox

Hi there, I restored this edit purely because I noticed that from a random sample of other Premiership clubs, that seemed to be the normal way they were described in the infobox. If you still prefer it as it was before, feel free to revert back - I don't have a strong opinion either way. DrFrench 20:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC) Ignore me, I was talking sh**e... got confused as to which part of the infobox was being referred to. I have changed it back now and given myself a stern talking to! DrFrench 18:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, no worries. :) Dbam ^Talk/_{Contributions} 20:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

reason why nufcpro.com was removed by yourself? —The preceding comment is by Gremlinprince (talk • contribs) 13:10, 20 June 2007 (UTC): Please sign your posts!

Did not answer my question j ust tried to show some 'authority' and showing standards. Do you have a valid reason for the removal of the link?? gremlinprince

Gremlinprince, pleae keep it WP:CIVIL. For what it's worth, I added the {{unsigned3}} template as 'housekeeping' when correcting my comment above. As for the link removal, have you looked at WP:LINKS? DrFrench 19:24, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

If you care to look at the website you will see its not a general fansite, its news! the front page is names news.php - kind of gives it away that its a news site. You obviously didnt even look at the site. gremlinprince

Kramer

Well, it does in fact look like a video game screen shot but seeing the reference you added.. you should have seen what the reference included.. Kramer is underlined in the caption. If you hover over the caption with your mouse, it should explain why I have been deleting Kramer from the picture. Thanks for your contributions nevertheless. - Bhavesh.Chauhan ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 01:27, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Claude Speed

Well, please explain to me how the term kid is used as a name. Mallerd 16:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

haha yes I know that, so basically you are saying that if only several people frequently call him gaijin, gaijin would be a name for him as well? Mallerd 17:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Blyth, Northumberland

The only problem I can see is that the lead could be expanded to summarize the article more. Apart from that, it shouldn't have much trouble getting to FA. Epbr123 18:36, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Eris

Oh well okay, I thought it would be closest to Ares, since Nike is also associated with battle and struggle (Pallas (Warrior), Styx (Hatred), Cratos (Strength), Bia (Force), Zelus (Rivalry)) only to be victorious and Eris being "only" disorder etc. But I will leave it to you Mallerd 14:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Song Name

Hi, do you know the name of the song played when tommy gets private lapdance in GTA Vice City ? It's Goin' Down 19:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Blyth, Northumberland

Hello Dbam!

Just thought I'd let you know about the WP:UKCITIES guidelines on article structure and content. Blyth is a really good article, but I'd be more inclined to support the FA nomination if it followed this standard structure like other FA settlement articles (such as Sheffield, Dundee, Sheerness, Shaw and Crompton, Chew Stoke). Would you consider making an effort to rejig the material?

Furthermore, having seen your FA nomination eariler, I have almost completed a local county map for Northumberland settlements. It should appear in the infobox as the standard map very shortly, futher adding to Blyth's chances of FA.

Hope that helps a little? -- Jza84 · (talk) 16:58, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello there! Thanks for such a rapid response. I'm glad you liked the local county map. Hopefully (one day) I'll have finished the entire of England, if not the UK!

Looks like you've risen very quickly to the challenge of some of my points on Blyth! Great stuff! I wasn't being negative, I could just see those points being contested by other reviewers. The striken structure you left at my talk page looked good. WP:UKCITIES isn't a policy, but a guideline, so it's not written in stone nor does it act as a tier to stop getting awards. It's there really to ensure a consistent layout and type of prose, and WP:USCITY has existed for a long time with massive success.

I think if you put the paragraph on the civic history (the urban districts and such) of the town from the current History section into the Governance section, you could have enough material to split it from the demographic material, and it'd be more akin to other GAs and FAs. It's your call though! Good luck with the nomination in the meantime! -- Jza84 · (talk) 23:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations on securing FA status for this article! I know from personal experience this is no easy task! Well done, it is a really great article - don't let this stop you though! Now you're familliar with the style, try going for another area if you can (maybe Northumbria, Blyth Valley, or Cramlington?); the WikiProject UK geography (not to mention the world who read these pages!) certainly need more folks like you!

I'm going for GA shortly myself with Oldham, which will be my second major self-nomination. No matter how much you write and rewrite, it just never seems enough to get through without a small duel, but it's all good I suppose. Anyway, congrats again! -- Jza84 · (talk) 23:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Just read your message. I'll have a look and see what I can do. Dposte46 (talk) 08:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Petition for your input

Hi, Dbam. I have recently resurrected the discussion on whether or not to include the Golfers on the GTA series gang list, and would like to ask for your input. Klptyzm and I have been debating the issue, and are split 50:50. Please add your two cents' worth to the Consensus when you get a chance. Eganio^Talk 00:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Grammar..?

My edit [1], your revert [2], and a little of my own research [3]. "None were" and "none was" both make sense, even though the latter doesn't sound like it. Ergo there wasn't much reason for me to change it in the first place. Before now I didn't realise it was fine before my edit, so thanks in a way. Sylosin (T/C) 18:36, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
