If you have contacts to obtain a picture or two for Wikimedia Commons, that could make a great addition to the article. I have tried contacting sources through various blog spots, etc., and thus far no response. Happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:17, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ian Holmes (runner) (November 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—see the guidelines for sports persons and athletes and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.
What you can do: Add citations (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners) to secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ian Holmes (runner) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also get Wikipedia's Live Help real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Removal of what I added

The additions I put in where given by an organizer of the race. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 14:37, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, but we need sources that people can check (Wikipedia:Verifiability). Also, for example, the Battle of Roslin did not take place in the race start field - see http://data.historic-scotland.gov.uk/data/docs/battlefields/roslin_full.pdf. Ejdguiseley (talk) 18:36, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Page Deletion: Subject Does Not Wish To Have Page

Per Wikipedia:Proposed_deletion as a page editor, you are being informed of the proposed deletion of the page.

Proposed deletion of Carol Morgan

The article Carol Morgan has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Reason: Subject does not wish to have page. --JEM1406a (talk) 12:11, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Frederick Berkeley, 5th Earl of Berkeley

Thanks for your edit at Frederick Berkeley, 5th Earl of Berkeley - I suspected it was wrong, but don't have a copy of Burkes or Cokayne's to check it in.
There is a editor in Cumbria who has repeatedly tried to add "Harry Taylor-Berkeley" {himself, I assume), to several articles including Baron Berkeley, Earl of Ormond (Ireland), Musgrave baronets and Brisco baronets
This latest editor was from Cumbria, but although he didn't try to add the full Harry Taylor-Berkeley, I suspect it was to create an ancestor to try and support his fantasy
Thanks again and best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 10:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I think you're right. The supposed Taylor-Berkeley individuals would have been fairly prominent people if they had existed but there is no trace of them in reliable sources. It sounds like Harry is the man mentioned along with his parents at https://www.lancashirelife.co.uk/out-about/places/why-more-people-are-moving-to-kirkby-lonsdale-1-6010799.

List of ultramarathons

Hi, thanks for your recent edit to this article. I've added Comrades Marathon back to the list per your suggestion. However, I've also removed other entries which do not have an article. Wikipedia is not a directory, and list articles work best when they are not excessively long. 162 etc. (talk) 14:33, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment the list is an odd selection. Some on there are relatively low-key events, but then you've removed some prestigious races like Desert Solstice, Javelina Jundred, Ultra-Trail Mt. Fuji and Tor des Géants. The latter two already have articles. Ejdguiseley (talk) 15:49, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added these last two in; they were not wikilinked in the existing version of the article so I had missed them. Of course, Wikipedia is a work in progress; if you feel that Desert Solstice and Javelina Jundred are notable events, by all means be WP:BOLD and create an article, which can then be linked from the list. 162 etc. (talk) 16:29, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. No plans for them, but never say never. Ejdguiseley (talk) 17:49, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
