Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers

How can Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers create a wikipedia page like Yale University Press? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.150.208.165 (talk) 15:54, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

The short answer is that you don't. You have a conflict of interest and are strongly advised not to create the article yourself. We strongly discourage users from creating articles about subjects where they have a conflict of interest because you will find it almost impossible to maintain the required neutral point of view. Please see: Wikipedia:COI, Wikipedia:BESTCOI and Wikipedia:NPOV.

You can request that the article be created by following the process set out at Wikipedia:RA or, you can create the article yourself via the articles for creation process bearing in mind that all the issues that I linked to above will apply to such a draft. That process is set out at Wikipedia:AFC.

If you need help with that process, please visit the Tea House and follow the instructions to leave a request for help there (click the "ask a question" link in the box at the top of the page) Wikipedia:THQ. I hope this helps.--ukexpat (talk) 16:25, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Rhoda Holmes Nicholls

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in the Rhoda Holmes Nicholls article. I rolled back the edits because:

Encyclopedia Britannica is a Wikipedia:Tertiary source and should be avoided if there are good secondary sources. See RSN Archive 115 - Is Encyclopedia a reliable source?
The guideline for dashes is to not to put spaces before and after the dash Wikipedia:Dashes.
"She met with" might be a difference in American vs. British English. It's common in the states - but I wouldn't have rolled back that comment alone.
", like" is also appropriate. "Such as" was interjected without the comma - so this is another example where the change from like to such as would not have resulted in a roll back, except that the comma was removed
I see you added [[American Watercolor Society|American Water Color Society]], which I had at one time, too, but the piped name was removed. It's not wrong either way.

I did return the edit Rhoda Holmes Nicholls-->Nicholls.

I hope that makes sense,but feel free to respond here or on my talk page if you have any questions.--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:16, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Whatever, just trying to be helpful - in fact some of those weren't even my original edits, but were caught up in an edit conflict.--ukexpat (talk) 18:31, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Yep, I later saw that it was another user that originally posted the Encyclopedia Britannica and posted a comment on their user page, too.

Of course your were trying to be helpful and it's appreciated. Thinking of how you might feel to have your edits reverted without an explanation, I just wanted to explain my reasoning... and (not being the bearer of all wisdom (laughing at my seriousness sometimes)), please let me know if I've got something wrong.--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:03, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Royal Warrants...possibly hairsplitting

Hi UKexpat, just a quick query on this. Not sure if it matters much either way but you stated on Philip Somerville that you have a Royal Warrant from. Hair splitting maybe, but Royal Warrant of Appointment is the full title and it is as a supplier to the household of the respective member of the royal family. Have you only ever seen it as 'from' as I'm pretty certain I've seen the phrase 'holder of a royal warrant to the...'? I'll do some digging to see what I come up with. Libby norman (talk) 14:20, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

"Warrant to" doesn't make any sense in this context. It is (colloquially) a warrant from the Queen to be supplier to the Queen. So you could say "held a Royal Warrant to supply" or "as a supplier to" or "as milliner to", but saying he held a "Royal Warrant to the Queen" leaves out the operative bit. Happy to be corrected if you find something to the contrary.--ukexpat (talk) 17:38, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Not quite so in my book. The whole statement would be: Royal Warrant of appointment as supplier of cheese/mobile phones/gin/whatever to the Queen/Prince Charles/Duke of Edinburgh. And Royal Warrant holders are then allowed to say By Appointment to... I think this shows that 'to' is used [4] "More than 170 regular suppliers of goods and services hold royal warrants of appointment to The Prince of Wales." It's my bolding. And here we have a Royal Warrant holder using the shortened form [5]. Happy for it to stay as it is on Philip Somerville, but I would say that 'to' is comprehensible in this context and is in usage.

Speedy deletion nomination of 33needs

A tag has been placed on 33needs, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

According to archive.org, this website never launched. The homepage between 2012 and 2013 all redirected to an email suscription page (such as https://web.archive.org/web/20120805004125/http://ready.33needs.com/). Very limited visibility and no clear prospect of improvement for this article may qualify it for a speedy deletion.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria 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 "Click here to 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.
