Opinion polling article

Just checking the Opinion Polling in the next UK election article...Why is Labour in the lead month by month? They're not in the lead? doktorb _words^deeds 12:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

RE: Lancashire elections

Wow, wow, wow! You have done such a good job on the Lancashire elections article. Really like your work, thanks! doktorb _words^deeds 17:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for all the work you've put into the MPs expenses article. I Haven't had much time in the last couple of days to expand much on the start I made, so it's good to see how it's improved! Quantpole (talk) 16:53, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MP expenses

Have you considered nominating it for "Did you know?"? (Incidentally, I don't see how you can trust Labour any more given the longest in a list of scandals; if anything, the expenses row has made me a little bit more anarchist than usual) Sceptre ^(talk) 15:41, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Too late for DYK now, the article is on ITN. --BorgQueen (talk) 11:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ITN for MPs' expenses row

On 13 May, 2009, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article Disclosure of expenses of British Members of Parliament, which you substantially updated. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the In the news candidates page.

93.1%

Hi - how was that number arrived at? Evercat (talk) 16:19, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

638 eligible MPs (5 Sinn Fein, 2 vacant seats and Alan Williams not able to vote), then 594 as a percentage of 638 is 93.1%. Spiritofsussex (talk) 16:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Perhaps we need a note to this effect. Evercat (talk) 16:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic work

Just a quick message to say I think your work on Opinion polling in the United Kingdom general election, 2010 has been fantastic. I've been watching it for a while now and its been a page I visit on a daily basis for the last few months. It's by far the best resource I have found online for viewing all the polls together and is very interesting to look back over the five years to see what has happened throughout the time. I look forward to the next one! :) Editor5807^speak 03:40, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:56, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Arsenal Starting 11

Why did you revert it back to previous? Fabianski is no longer a starter as he will miss the rest of the season with injury, Chamakh only deputized for RvP. It's crazy to say RvP is not a starter. Just because he's had less starts due to injury doesn't mean he is not in starting 11. Same with Squillaci - Djourou is the main one. I don't see why did you change this to be honest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.32.39.244 (talk) 00:27, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Teamwork Barnstar

Would just like to send my appreciation of your co-operation with the Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election‎ article. It's clear you're very devoted to updating the article (and politics in general, it would seem), and it's nice to find another Wikipedian working and willing to improve existing articles. (Incidentally, this is my first time 'showing my appreciation', so I hope I'm doing this right.) —JeevanJones (talk) 11:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:LCS.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:LCS.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Hampshire County Council election, 2009

Hi, do you think you might have time to edit on all the candidate's that stood at the last elections to Hampshire County Council, I saw you did the one for the 2013 election's and it would be really great if you had time to do the same for 2009, if you can't that's fine but just wondered if you would be interested! :) Guyb123321 (talk) 21:18, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WSCC and ESCC elections

Hi, are you going to enter the results for East as I see you already did for West? There is a handy PDF on the ESCC web site with all the figures. Also, I noticed another user has altered some of your Swings on the West article, and mentioned the tricky question of gain/loss when a councillor defected over the last 4 years. Don't know what you think of those two, the first I think is unhelpful and the second is arguable. I think there should be a footnote under each result where there was a defection or byelection, to explain the anomaly. However overall these are pretty unimportant pages on WP. Sussexonian (talk) 09:01, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try and get round to doing ESCC at some point. In terms of the gains/losses issue, I've always taking to view that like should be compared with like, i.e. voice of the people in 2013 should be compared with voice of the people in 2009, regardless if individual has chosen to defect halfway through. This is the norm of Westminster elections, where any defections/by-elections are disregarded for gains/losses purposes at the next general election. A footnote under each would be very useful however. This said, I have no intention of getting into a edit war with the person who had decided to change it; I might start a discussion on the page to get other people's views.

Orphaned non-free media (File:UniversityofChichesterlogo2008.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:UniversityofChichesterlogo2008.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:06, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Election article titles

Well done for creating all the election articles, but could you make sure you get the titles right (e.g. Portsmouth City Council election, not Portsmouth Council election)? A lot were misnamed in the past, and I'm slowly correcting them. I've corrected all of them in the 2014 UK local elections template for reference. Cheers, Number 5 7 19:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your European Election 2014 map

Hi, (nice to meet you),

I was wondering if you would be able to provide me with the source data for this [1] graphic, found on European Parliament election, 2014 (United Kingdom). I need a little more than what's presented in the image: I'm hoping to regress UKIP voting rates against a few other population parameters in council areas, for an article I'm working on. I've tried for a few hours to find a full breakdown but I haven't had any luck, and it occurred to me if I contacted the author directly, you might be able to help. Please don't go to any trouble, but I thought it would be worth contacting you if you had the data to hand.

All the best,
