You added a description of a button lift in T-bar lift in a new paragraph just above the description for a Poma lift. A Poma lift is a synonym for a button lift, or platter lift. Would you like to combine your edit into the Poma paragraph? — EncMstr 06:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Garters and suspenders

I'm afraid that your recent reworkings of these articles may not have been as beneficial as you obviously intended them to be. The sort of garter that a bride takes off at her wedding is an elasticated band worn round the thigh. This is a completely different thing from British suspenders or American garters. While I assume that it was intended to hold up stockings before the invention of suspenders, that is no longer its function, and indeed it is worn even if the bride is wearing tights. Can you please review your edits.--Taxwoman 11:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: French Navy

Thank you for your comments. I had clarified my position in the talk page at the last section.UberCryxic 15:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Postcard

Hello, thanks for pointing out the distinct lack of seaside postcard information on the page - it had been removed by a vandal I think, and reverted to the wrong version. Feel free to expand on the information. Incidentally, the info on there was from an article I wrote before it was redirected. The text can be found here. Most of the text was integrated into the postcard page to make it longer. However, if you know more about them, feel free to add some more to this page, to make it into a separate, more detailed article. Bob talk 00:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Crossroads (charity)

A tag has been placed on Crossroads (charity) 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 company or corporation, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Removing Speedy at Crossroads (charity)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles you created, as you did with Crossroads (charity). If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Crossroads Foundation

I have nominated Crossroads Foundation, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crossroads Foundation. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. - Dank (push to talk) 15:16, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage

I've helped you in your quest to understand userboxes. I'd created a "shortcut" to teh particular code, but you need the real thing to analyse it. I've also taken the liberty of editing your userpage to remove the suggestion you are an admin, since that's too much of an untruth. (It you normally be bad practice to edit others' userpages.) The others are about acceptable with your statement they are untrue, but I suggest you learn how to use them so you can find your own. You can find information on this by following you favorite subjects at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Gallery. You can also ask me anything at this page. - Jarry1250 ^{[ In the UK?
