Roads

Hi there: do you think that a one-line comment on every main road in Blackpool is actually of value in an encyclopedia? Write, surely. But give more detail. Please.--Anthony.bradbury 22:02, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I intend to fill out those articles just as soon as I can. I decided to create a few at once. To see what I have in mind, please look at Whitegate Drive. You are right, but please - I only created them yesterday! Give me a chance! Scyrene 18:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there: sorry they've gone - I didn't ask for it and don't feel that they deserved it. A useful tip; when writing an article that you intend to finish later, at the top of the page type {underconstruction}, using doubled brackets rather than single (I used single ones so that you could see the wording of the template. Most editors on seeing that will leave the aricle alone, assuming yhat it's not copyvio or defamatory. I suggerst that you re-insert your articles, with this template, and see how it goes. Happy Wiki-ing.--Anthony.bradbury 20:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Streets

Hi: I have voted to retain your articles, but I'm afraid it looks like no-one else has. Suggest either follow my earlier suggestion re the underconstruction template, or do each article in its entirety at one go. In my view, while the roads of Blackpool may not be earth-shakingly important, there are articles here which are less so.--Anthony.bradbury 15:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions

Hi there: I see that you do not appear to have contributed recently. Please do not let that unpleasantness over the road-stubs put you off.--Anthony.bradbury 19:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gay Blackpool

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Gay Blackpool, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Gay Blackpool

An editor has nominated Gay Blackpool, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gay Blackpool and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IPA /r/

Hi,

We use a single IPA transcription for all English dialects when possible, and therefore keep the /r/s in UK placenames like Darbyshire. (We also retain UK vowel distinctions in US placenames.) The wiki IPA-en chart is a compromise agreement between UK and US editors. Multiple transcriptions are used not for varying accents but for truly distinct pronunciations like those for antimony. kwami (talk) 18:54, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Important Wine Project discussion needs input!

Hello, the Wine Project is currently in the process of hammering out a proposed policy relating to Wikipedia:Notability (wine topics). As Wikipedia and its wine coverage continues to grow, the need for a clear, concise guideline on how Wikipedia's notability policies such as WP:CORP, WP:SIGCOV and WP:NOTE relate to wine articles has emerged. Please review the proposed policy and take part in the talk page discussion Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(wine_topics)#Ready_to_go_live.3F. All input and view points are welcomed.
