Hi

Well guess who created the Wellfield page? Sure you can work it out by looking at my contributions! & I remember you going on about Andorra by Max Frisch back in high school.... Nice to see your interests haven't changed too much! Claret 17:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although... have you seen how many people have edited the WBHS page?! And the VGMS one was started by someone else.... Claret 17:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

link to British

Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom, Great Britain or British English by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]]. Regards, Jeff3000 01:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK!

On 9 January, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Alexander Leighton, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid 64 22:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jacqueline Leonard

Hi, I noticed that you have included Leonard's spouse as Graham Turner and removed the bit about her being married to Alex Mansfield. I have some references that she married Mansfield in 2000 [1] (if you enlarge the scan you'll be able to read this in the corner). Another news article I have from 1996 says that she and Turner were together (but not married) for many years, but clearly they must have split before she married in 2000. Do you know if she and Mansfield divorced and she went on to reunite and marry Turner? I'm not doubting what you have added, i just want to make sure it's all sourced so that nobody can argue against it :) Gung adin ♦ 20:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Saltersgate School

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Saltersgate School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Tagged for notability since 9/2007. I don't believe this one is notable; it's a school for special needs children. Total of 11 hits on Gnews, all of which are incidental mentions.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
