Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Grade II* listed pubs
A tag has been placed on Category:Grade II* listed pubs requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
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 removed without delay.

Replaceable fair use File:Nairn Transport Co route map.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Nairn Transport Co route map.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 23:13, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

The article West Sussex Record Office has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No indication of notability for this record office. I do know that the "Sussex Declaration" (copy of the Declaration of Independence) was found there; but the notability is of the Sussex Declaration, not the record office; and is already well-covered at Physical history of the United States Declaration of Independence.
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.

References
Please create proper references for your sources. Although if you leave the bare URLs a bot or someone using "reFill" will come along and do something with them, it doesn't generate as good a reference as you would be able to do yourself with just a little bit of effort. Thus a "reFill" user turned "http://www.countrylife.co.uk/property/beautiful-country-house-and-estate-in-the-heart-of-the-surrey-hills-160606" into ""A beautiful country house and estate in the heart of the Surrey Hills". 23 June 2017.", but it should be more like ""A beautiful country house and estate in the heart of the Surrey Hills".

Speedy deletion nomination of Rich Piana (bodybuilder)
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 Rich Piana (bodybuilder), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for Deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Amy Burvall
Wikipedian,
I noticed you reverted punctuation and spelling to the British format, but Ms. Burvall appears to be American, and that's why we're using American syntax and spelling on that page. If you have other reasons for doing it, please use that article's talk page to explain and collaborate with other editors. Further reversions without discussions there could be construed disruptive editing. I'm assuming good faith and doubting that's your intent. Thanks mate. 209.117.61.226 (talk) 11:38, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- It was the reordering of the sentences I changed back. I am quite happy to use American dates etc. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:43, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
Lush
You can't just take something out and call it "non notable". If we were talking about Lush Building, Oxford Street, sure, that's non-notable (and why we don't have an article on it), but in this instance it was added by an IP here and my general spider-senses told me that it was something the silent majority who don't normally edit WP might expect to find if they're looking in the article. Just my 2c. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- It's in "Notable buildings". My spider sense tells me its not a notable building and the IP, who only made one edit, worked for Lush! Philafrenzy (talk) 15:36, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- We should probably just change that section to "Properties". As to who made the original edit, it could just be somebody who bought something from there, and given the queue I found when I went in there Christmas shopping (good stocking fillers for female relatives), that's a whole bunch of people. I think also I was thinking about systemic bias a bit; shopping for fashionable personal hygiene artefacts isn't really something I think the stereotypical Wikipedian demographic do that much. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:40, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- We are not really a shopping guide and three floors isn't much in that street. I don't feel strongly about it but doubt the average cosmetics shopper would bother to add it. I changed it to buildings from properties. Also, listed buildings should really be immediately below that. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

- One of my pet peeves is when people use the page curation bar to get to the next page on Special:NewPagesFeed ASAP, backlogging Category:Stubs in the process. You don't appear to be rushing through anything, never mind NPP; given that, an occasional

Merja Makinen
Hello, I noticed you reverted my edits to Merja Makinen. I took a look back at my edit, and don't really understand why. The punctuation changes I made to the "selected publications" section are certainly unimportant (I didn't bother very hard to standardize that section anyway). However, the other changes I made were removing a red link to a nonexistent topic, correcting "twentieth century" (it doesn't take a hyphen in that usage), and removing the capital letters from a few parenthetical phrases which didn't need them. These are not terribly important corrections, but they are corrections, so I'm wondering why you didn't let them stand? Any light you can shed on this would be appreciated, as I am always trying to learn more here. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 19:36, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
- This often happens when multiple changes are made in one edit, some valid, some not, some purely stylistic choices. It might be better to split this sort of thing up. The red link to feminist writing is not an error for instance, it's a probably valid topic (in my opinion) that doesn't exist yet. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:07, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
- Understood, thanks! Jessicapierce (talk) 01:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Kindly read up on WP:IG, and if you do not understand an edit, do not revert it. I do not appreciate people like you wasting my time like this. 95.145.130.78 (talk) 11:17, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

A gentle reminder...
...that MoS is not mandatory. It is merely a guideline, and should not be edit warred over. Thus spake ArbCom. Beyond My Ken (talk) 09:59, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- It is nothing to do with the MOS as such, you appear to have misunderstood the purpose of the references section. It lists the sources and publications used in the body of the article. That is why including further reading inside references is a terrible idea, it confuses sources with non sources. This is not the idea of me or Wikipedia or the MOS, it is simply standard scholarly practice. A pity since the rest of the article looks good. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:06, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:53, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Proposed updates to Pitney Bowes article
Hello, Philafrenzy. I see that you added a fair use photo of a Pitney Bowes machine to the Postage meter article, and your account name suggests an interest in stamps and postage-related things. You may or may not be interested, but I've proposed an expanded and updated Pitney Bowes article on behalf of the company, which has had quite a fascinating history! I've saved my draft in full here, and submitted an edit request at Talk:Pitney Bowes to update the infobox and add the proposed "Overview" section. Given my conflict of interest, I will not edit the article directly and seek uninvolved editors to review the draft for accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability. Is this something you might be willing to help with? Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 16:51, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- It probably is a fascinating history but there is a limited amount of time I can spend on Wikipedia (contrary to appearances) and corporate histories aren't my favourite topics. Hopefully someone else will help you out. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:46, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- No problem, and thanks for the quick reply. Inkian Jason (talk) 21:05, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Could you please check the exact date of death again? At Deaths in August 2017 he is listed at August 28 while the article states September 28. Both are referenced with the obituary in The Telegraph but unfortunately I cannot access the whole press article. Both obviously cannot be right so either the statement in Steven Marshall (Railtrack) has to be corrected or he should be listed in Deaths in September 2017 at September 28. Thanks. --Proofreader (talk) 13:21, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
- I can't access the pages either and prepared the article from the obituary in The Times which was dated 14 October, so I am inclined to think that September is correct. Do you know who added it to August deaths? Philafrenzy (talk) 15:34, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
