Latest Brighton article improvements

Hi! It's nice to see you back and keeping an eye on the Brighton article.

I'd like to tweak a couple of your changes today, but thought I'd run them by you first. It seems a shame to lose the fact that the Lanes do follow some of the street pattern of the original fishing settlement. (I'm presuming you haven't come up with anything that says that is a myth?) And I'd like to reinstate or replace some of the wording which mentioned the early settlement in that context.

And as for Atlingworth... interesting. I'm particularly interested cos my Brighton address is on Atlingworth Street. I have seen a map (I think it was a 1904 one, in an atlas of England, but I'll need to check) labelling the area as a Laine, so the Manor reference is not, perhaps, mutually exclusive. Does your source shed more detail on this? In the absense of a categorical disproof, I think a published map is good enough source material to justify putting the Laine reference back. Whadya reckon? – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 20:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kieran, sorry for the delay in responding. Been a bit busy. When I researched the Domesday entry for Brighton, I'm pretty certain I read about "Atlingworth" being in recongnition of one the ancient manors. However, I must admit I have no source to verify this with. Hmm. I'll try and find out in better detail. However, I'm pretty certain that the only laines were: Little Laine, Hilly Laine, West Laine and North Laine. Possibly East Laine. I think Little Laine was where sort of St James's Street is around. I'll research and get back to you. Although my bold outpouring of opinion of the Brighton talk page might not be followed up with much action from me at the moment. I'm trying to just work on Wikipedia once a week otherwise it'll take over my life! --Seaweed 16:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I found the source I was after. In the Historical Atlas of Sussex(p.94), there is a map of Brighton parish c.1740 which has been prepared from some other sources. The area is divided into:
  • "Town" (bounded by West Street, North Street, The Steine and the sea)
  • West Laine (west of West Street up to Hove parish)
  • North Laine (north of North Street up to Preston Parish)
  • Hilly Laine (sort-of Islingword Road accross to Queens Park Road down to Edward Street)
  • Little Laine (quite small, just east of the Steine to about Rock Gardens, and
  • East Laine (beyond Little Laine to about Lewes Crescent and north to the Bristol Estate).
So no Atlingworth Laine I'm afraid. I'm still pretty certain Atlingworth originates regarding one of the ancient manors, but I'm still scratching my head on where I read that. --Seaweed 21:58, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Interesting stuff – thanks for remembering and coming back to it :-) – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 22:00, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Whitehawk

I've added a full history of Whitehawk, as someone who has an interest in Brighton articles, I'd really appreciate it if you could do a proof read for me at some point. Feel free to correct anything that needs it. I am planning on expanding the Brighton Marina article as my next project. If your interested, I also put in an article on the legendary Peter Ward, found at Peter Ward (English footballer), although I desperately need a picture of him in Brighton kit that is eligible to be uploaded to wikipedia! Thanks. Fork me 09:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

New WikiProject for Brighton

Hi. If you read this, user:Kierant suggested I should contact you as someone who has put in a lot of work on Brighton-related articles. Thanks to the initiative of user:Unisouth, there is a new WikiProject for Brighton and Hove articles. Getting new members is an urgent task and if you wanted to join it would be very welcome indeed. However, I appreciate that you may not be contributing much or at all at the moment. Best wishes. Itsmejudith 16:40, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Jim_Moray.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 22:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Early doors4.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Early doors4.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I have nominated Night-life and popular music of Brighton and Hove, an article that you created, for deletion.

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.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:58, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Brighton Racecourse

Dear Seaweed, I would like to understand why you have deleted so much of my text on this subject. There may have only been a few citations, but the material was all from the book I wrote about the history of the course and I saw no point in repeatedly citing the same source. There is no copyright issue as regards the similar text on the racecourse website; I wrote it for them using information from the book. I am a novice on Wikipedia and appreciate I may not know all the rules, but your help in clarifying this would be appreciated. Ravel59 (talk) 13:41, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Re: Ryan Collinson article, thank you.

Seaweed, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your recent contribution in adding internal link references to the Ryan Collinson article I created not too long ago. My forte is writing and most decidedly not technical expertise, which is typical of my generation. So I always appreciate any help I can get on that front.

I have no interest whatsoever in this particular subject. I’m not English. However, when I happened upon a video of Mr. Collinson reprising his Billy Elliot performance, I thought he was exceptionally good. When I saw that there was no Wikipedia article for him as yet, I finally saw my chance to actually create an article rather than simply editing articles as I have done often (usually to correct typos and grammatical errors). Since many other Billy Elliot performers had articles, I thought it appropriate, especially as he had the West End title/lead role. I liked the idea of creating an article about one so young; sort of getting in on the ground floor. I do think that with young Mr. Collinson’s tremendous talent and photogenic appearance that—assuming such is his desire—he has a real shot of making it big in entertainment one day. Therefore, I hope the humble article I created will grow over the years and that I might take a small measure of pride in the “anonymous notability” I might have achieved, perhaps similar to the feeling of whomever started the article on, for example, Taylor Swift and that the article will endure long after I’m gone!

Thanks again, Seaweed, and if you have more interest in British theater than I do, I hope you will keep tabs on the subject and perhaps consider adding substantive material as the subject’s professional resume hopefully blossoms with time! Best regards.HistoryBuff14 (talk) 14:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Daniel Hill, actor, publicity shot.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Daniel Hill, actor, publicity shot.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

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. Stefan2 (talk) 14:16, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Columbus tower

Thank you seaweed for the update. I have a interest in buildings and construction, so try too add my bit :). It would be brilliant and very helpful if you could assist me with some help. I'm currently making a list of buildings over the height of 150 metres (skyscraper), it is called, List of cities by number of skyscrapers. It is situated on the page ,List of cities with the most skyscrapers. I have made a header titled, List of cities by number of skyscrapers. Then below it it I have constructed a table to list cities in order of how many skyscrapers they have. However for some reason the table I have constructed skips my header and lies below the next header. I wondered if you know why this happens and could possibly fix the problem.

Speedy deletion nomination of Roffey Park Institute

Hello Seaweed,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Roffey Park Institute 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. Lithopsian (talk) 16:06, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of One Park Drive

The article One Park Drive has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unremarkable not-yet-existing residential skyscraper, non-notable, doesn't meet WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Message for Seaweed

I posted the following on the Mark Haysom Talk page on February 7th. I now realise this must have been a mistake – for you to have sight of it, I should, perhaps, have posted it on your own Talk page. Apologies.

This was the message:

(This is my first time on Wikipedia other than as a user and I’m not at all sure I’m posting this correctly or indeed in the right place. I’m trying to get the following message to Seaweed and any help in bringing it to his/her attention is appreciated.)

I thought I should let you know that your intervention on this article has been drawn to my attention. If I can be of help in any way, please feel free to email me at mark@mark-haysom.co.uk. In the meantime, you should know that I have been embarrassed about this article since its first appearance. You must, of course, edit it as you see fit or (as has always been my wish) remove it altogether! MARKH1953 (talk) 09:02, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

What I would add now to that original message is that I think I’m able to shed at least a little light on the identity of one of the article’s principal authors/editors. Please do email me at mark@mark-haysom.co.uk if this would be helpful.

MARKH1953 (talk) 15:11, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you

I am delighted that this has been resolved. Thank you. I can now stop blundering about in a Wikipedia world I don’t understand and stop worrying about this article. It does feel as if a weight has been lifted from me - particularly with the offending accounts being blocked to prevent the possibility of any further issues - and I’m truly grateful for that. Finally, I meant no harm, of course, in suggesting an email exchange. I was simply keen to avoid a discussion on a public forum. Thank you again. MARKH1953 (talk) 19:14, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

David Bangs article

Hello Seaweed, I have only known of him since December and have only met David once to buy one of his book. I have exchanged some emails so I could make the Wikipedia page. He has been influential in many policy decisions that have led to our Downs staying public (owned by the council). He was also well known for his murals in London. He appeared on the TV and the radio many times and hosted his own programme which was recommended in a number of national newspapers. He has been integral to campaign groups that have prevented many acres of Sussex Downland from being privatised, including much of the land around world famous Seven Sisters. David's page is intended as a stub article and people who know David and his achievements better will build on it. David has had a large impact on land management of Sussex Downland in Sussex and his notability evidenced in the multiple sources I have provided. Paolo.oprandi (talk) 21:16, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Looking for feedback: Elliot Grainge draft

Hi Seaweed. I saw you’re a member of WikiProject Hip Hop. I created a draft article for music executive Elliot Grainge from 10K Projects - are you able to take a look and give me feedback?I work for Elliot, which I understand is a conflict of interest according to Wikipedia policy, so was hoping to get the assistance of an independent editor. The draft article is here:[1]. Thanks. Musicfan100 (talk) 14:32, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello there. I didn't know I was a member of the WikiProject Hip Hop! I've never heard of it! Anyway, I'll be glad to help you. You've done a good job in writing up a draft article and I praise you for your honesty in stating your professional connection to Elliot Grainge and not creating the page yourself. Incidentally I edited the article about Lucian Grainge recently. I've actually been spending editing quite a lot of music industry Wikpedia articles recently (I've even got print copy of July edition of Music Week in front of me!), so you're request is quite interesting. (I don't work in the music industry, I'm just a music fan.)
I think the starting thing about biographicaly articles is Notability. The question is whether Elliot Grainge is notable enough to justify a whole article about him. The first thing that I noticed was that there is no existing article for 10K Projects. Therefore it wouldn't make much sense to create an article for Elliot before creating one for 10K Projects. Therefore the next question is whether 10K Projects is itself is "notable". If it is, it might be more efficient (to start with anyway) to include information about Elliot Grainge in a 10K Projects article. In due course, maybe Elliot would get his own article, if notable enough.
I've actually never heard of 10K Projects until today, but my very quick two minute scan of your draft article and the artists connected to 10K Projects makes me think it probably should have its own article. 10K Projects seems quite notable to me. I might actually go ahead a create that article, but I'll need to do some more research first. Maybe I'll then include some of the content from your draft article for Eliot Grainge into that article.

April 2023

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ash Sarkar. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Sorry for the template, but you are removing significant amounts of reliably-sourced content, while the article is under a revert restriction. Perhaps you can discuss the major changes you wish to make to this article on the article Talk page, including the significant context and sources you wish to remove, and explain the reasons why, before making these changes. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 15:26, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Beccaynr. I think that's very unfair of you to give ma an unconstructive edit template about Ash Sarkar. All I've been doing is trying to improve the readability of the article and make it more encyclopedic. In fact, that's pretty much all I do on Wikipedia these days: just trying to simplify articles to help the casual reader. I don't even remember how I ended up on that article. I very rarely delete references, so left all that intact. I've been editing Wikipedia since 2005 I think, so do have some idea about policies and guidelines. It's not always necessary to have discussions on talk pages and topics where there isn't anything that contentious going on. I didn't notice any big debates going on the Talk page, with no edits since August 2022. If anything, I could argue that maybe you should have talked to me first, before assuming bad faith, but I don't mind really. It's sunny outside and it's only Wikipedia. Seaweed (talk) 15:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm sorry about templating you and the unintended implication that I was assuming bad faith - this article has had disruptive editing in the past, and I was concerned by what appear to me to be a series of removals of pertinent content after the article has been stable for awhile.
I respect your efforts and I hope you can forgive my clumsy attempt to call your attention to the edits - I have now opened sections on the article Talk page to discuss various aspects of the edits and hope you will further discuss the article there. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 16:08, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Sorry for my slow reply, I'm a bit erratic when I log on to Wikipedia. No problem at all and I appreciate your thoughtful comments and your detailed responses on the article page. Seaweed (talk) 16:09, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Thank you - I may not have the time or focus to reply on the article Talk page today, but my general sense (including based on the history of the article) is that Sarkar is a subject who benefits from well-sourced context, and I look forward to reviewing sources and further discussing the article with you. Thanks again, Beccaynr (talk) 16:20, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Funnily enough, sometimes when I remove excessive details/quotes from a biographical artcile, I challenge myself to go a find a new reference about that person that isn't in the article already. I feel that's me trying to help Wikipedia by not just being someone who removes thing, but adds things too. I'm going to see if I can find something new and notable abour Ash Sarkar right now! Seaweed (talk) 16:24, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
I've failed! I can't find anything additional to add apart from that she might have had some poems featured in some poetry anthologies, but I can't be certain it's definitely her. And if it is the same Ashna Sarkar, it's probably not that notable. Seaweed (talk) 17:02, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Michelle Mone, Baroness Mone

Hi - just wanted to say thank you for trimming / simplifying a lot of the information in the above article. Was wondering whether you thought Controversies regarding COVID-19 contracts in the United Kingdom#PPE Medpro controversy, which covers a lot of similar content, could also do with trimming / editing? (If not, please feel free to disregard my message). GnocchiFan (talk) 17:55, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

I must admit this ongoing controversy is not something I've been paying much attention to, but as you say there is a lot of detail in that other page. I think a lot of editors, quite naturally I suppose, add references as these news stories develop. Then the articles end up too long. I've found they are almost easier to edit after the whole thing has concluded. I might take a look though if there are simple things to change. Seaweed (talk) 16:09, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Please don't depopulate categories for no reason

There are plenty of categories on this encyclopedia with one or two pages in them. You can think they're not necessary, but that's not a valid reason to depopulate a totally normal category. Noah Kahan already has two albums with articles and it looks like his career is only really just taking off, so there's reason to believe it will continue and he will make more. Your edits have been reverted; please don't restore the removals per WP:BRD. If you really have such an issue with the category existing (and I don't know why you do), then nominate it for deletion. Thanks. Ss112 21:24, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Far right

Please stop removing "far right" from articles. Discussions regarding the term appear on BLPN, NPOVN, and other noticeboards regularly, and the consensus has always been that it's appropriate when described that way by multiple reliable, secondary sources. The same is true of "far left" and other related terms. Woodroar (talk) 19:32, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

  • I concur with the above. This has all been discussed at length on BLPN and various talk pages. In addition, it may be an idea to hold off on making mass edits without any discussion - I've reverted a few of yours that were either reversions of content settled by RfCs or existing editor consensus, which mass edits like that don't take into account. ser!
