Thankyou for your support. I did kind of notice it referred to as Smyril and then Smyril Line in the commons and wondered if they were seperate. Anyway I have created the redirect from Smyril Line and equipped it with a picture. Cheers Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for your recent contributions to this article. However I would like to ask if you could please provide a citation to the claim you've made on the buses, as it currently risks being deleted without a citation. Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 12:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Arrthurr!
[edit]Hallo Else. On the Routemaster page, someone has captioned a pic of an LT/LCBC RT as the type of bus used in On The Buses. Please see the talk page for me pointing out the probable error. I've no sources as yet but if you want to go ahead and change the caption before I do, please do go ahead. A matter of grave importance this, IMO. Thanks. Olive AKA Plutonium27 (talk) 09:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Many thanks. I'll have a look. I don't know if RTs were ever filmed in the series or film, but certainly Lodekkas predominated. Best wishes, Elsecar (talk) 09:18, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Allan of Rotterdam
[edit]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 Allan of Rotterdam 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 an organization or company, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Callanecc (talk) 23:49, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Police Service of Scotland a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Police Scotland. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. --Barryob (Contribs) (Talk) 13:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Was it the wrong logo? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:18, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, the original proposed logo has never been used in practice. It was deemed inappropriate by the Lord Lyon King of Arms as it broke heraldic rules. See images on the external links for both the discarded logo and the official logo which is now in use. If you are able to please put the official logo onto Wikipedia that would be much appreciated - I tried to but failed. Elsecar (talk) 18:31, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Empresa Insulana de Navegação
[edit]Hello Elsecar,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Empresa Insulana de Navegação for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

[edit]Speedy deletion nomination of Speed limits in the Isle of Man
[edit]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 Speed limits in the Isle of Man requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://hoopmaster.dk/ais-frhmo/isle-of-man-speed-limit-2019-90f245. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Onel5969 TT me 02:57, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- I have removed the speedy deletion template. When copying text within Wikipedia, please use the procedure described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. This helps to avoid being wrongly accused of copyright violations (almost every Wikipedia page can be found elsewhere on the Internet). —Kusma (talk) 10:05, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
