==Page vandalism==

To however keeps vadalising my friends User Page with your "see the truth" junk, it isnt big and it sure as heck isnt funny. Go add your gibberish on your own user page or something [[User:Jennytablina|Jennytablina]] 09:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

== United Kingdom ==
Why do you feel that stating that the UK is one of the world's most powerful nations is pushing a POV? A nation which has the world's fourth largest economy, second largest navy and considerable cultural reach (all mentioned further down the article in great detail) is surely a powerful country? This is said in the article on the USA in the introduction and it should also be emphasised in the UK article. ([[User:Ouip|Ouip]]) (12th Jan 06).

:The economy is mentioned later on, as is the navy so they aren't needed in the intro which is long enough already. The previous version mentioning the Empire seemed pro-Brit pov whilst the final line of your edit can also be seen as pov. - [[User:Burwellian|JVG]] 11:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

== population ==

hi, i saw you entered population statistics for [[Littleport, Cambridgeshire]], i assume you got the data from http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001, please could you explain how you found that data, i want pop for [caxton, cambridgeshire]] and [[bourn]], but i cant find it anywhere thanks [[User:Bluemoose|Bluemoose]] 11:26, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

== Crossing a flag ==

I would like to ask you not to cross an official flag on your user page. Imagine someone did that to that of your country. This is even considered a crime in many countries. I just regard that as bad manners. I am sure you are able to express your reasonable opinion in a respectful way. [[User:ROGNNTUDJUU!|ROGNNTUDJUU!]] 20:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
:You are not, however, free to forcibly impose your views upon others. I appreciate you raising the issue but it may be worth looking at the background of the person before you complain that they are being disrespectful to a flag. You asked me to imagine if someone did that to a flag of my own country when the crossed flag was of a entity to which my country belongs. You could find that out quite easily from the other Userboxes on my page (esp. the one saying I'm from the [[UK]]) and by looking up the [[European Union member states#Listed by accession date|members of the EU]], who's flag was the one crossed on my page. - [[User:Burwellian|JVG]] 15:14, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
::Thank you for taking the time to answer. I do not want to impose my views upon others. I am perfectly ok if someone expresses concerns about the EU or any other union. I am concerned myself about the agricultural subsidies and antidumping cases in the EU and US, for example. I however think that there are more respectful ways to express concerns than crossing out a flag many people fill represented by. I am sorry if I missed your user box when posting at your page. I just thought it would be more respectful to tell every user the reason why I listed the image for deletion as it was solely used for a user box that had already been deleted for being disruptive and was set up again on personal pages. What I got out of this is a massive amount of delete votes for a respect template I created and a massive keep vote for the respectless crossed out EU flag. But I also convinced some users that there are nicer ways to express their legitimate opinion, and I am thus sure that I achieved at least something. Have a good time here.

== Ipswich Town F.C. ==

No problem.  I wouldn't normally edit other clubs' templates, but the Ipswich one appeared to be quite out of date.  [[Dean Bowditch]] wasn't listed on the ITFC official site as a squad member and his article (at the time) still listed him as on loan at Northampton, so I assumed that this must still be the case.  [[Andy Rhodes]] also isn't listed as a player on the ITFC website, so I assume that means that he's not registered as a player any more - I'll leave it up to you to try to work that one out, you'll probably have more luck than me, me being an outsider!

It looks like the template (and maybe the individual player pages) could do with being monitored so that they can be kept up to date - maybe you would like to volunteer for the job? <span style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:Dan1980|Dan1980]] ([[User talk:Dan1980|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Dan1980|stalk]])</span> 00:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
:You're right - funnily enough, I've just been on a crusade updating all of the Football League season articles pre-1929 (the year that Sheffield Wednesday was officially registered) that were ALL incorrect.  I'll have a look at the main article too.

== Wow ==

Okay, so you've been around here longer than me by a long chalk but recently I've seen you take interest in the ITFC articles.  I was wondering if you'd take some time at the [[WP:FAC]] for [[History of Ipswich Town F.C.]] as I'm sure you can contribute to and improve the article.  I'm working on an ITFC featured topic and this is the last article....  All suggestions welcome!  [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] ([[User talk:The Rambling Man|talk]]) 22:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
:Heh, I guess you haven't looked at the sources for all of the ITFC featured content - Pride of Anglia is the number one reference!  Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, if you have the time to contribute at the FAC then cool.  Either way, happy editing!

::Well in case you hadn't noticed, the history article is the last on my list for an ITFC featured topic - [[Ipswich Town F.C.]], [[History of Ipswich Town F.C.]], [[Ipswich Town F.C. seasons]], [[List of Ipswich Town F.C. managers]], [[List of Ipswich Town F.C. Players of the Year]], [[List of Ipswich Town F.C. statistics and records]] and [[Portman Road]].  Pride of Anglia features pretty heavily - I've been in touch with the webmaster quite a bit!

== [[Carrow Road]] ==

Hi. Thanks for the tags. As per [[Template:Fact/doc#Contraindications]], you'd probably be better off using the <nowiki>{{unreferenced}}</nowiki> tag instead of littering with <nowiki>cn</nowiki> tags, unless you're planning to fix the problem yourself. A scattering of cn tags often aggreives other editors and can look [[WP:POINT|pointy]] and there's no (erm) point in riling people when we're just trying to improve the encyclopedia. Incidentally, if you were looking to fix this yourself, there's a lot of referenced material on this topic in the relevant section of the FA [[Norwich City F.C.]].

==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 [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford|Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference]]. Please see [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford#Local team|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 [[m:Wikimedia UK v2.0|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 [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London 13|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!

== Transcribed from [[User Talk:Senra]] re:Burwell. ==

=== East Cambs stuff===

Hello from South Wales! As my username Burwellian suggests, I grew up in [[Burwell, Cambridgeshire|Burwell]] and have gotten a bit fed up of the state the village page is in. Again. I've tried half heartedly a few times to make a decent article out of it (about half of the content there before yesterday was my own doing over the past few years) but have lacked a bit of direction until looking at [[WP:UKCITIES]] the other day and seeing the [[Little Thetford]] article. I was curious if you've got any suggestions, advice, etc that could be benefitted from? I'd advise a hard hat if you're going onto the article at the moment as it's a mess as I'm kinda using the actual article for drafting as well, hence the in use template... - [[User:Burwellian|JVG]] ([[User talk:Burwellian|talk]]) 17:34, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

: I am flattered that you are asking me for advice though I am really no expert. My initial approach was two-steps forward, one-step back. Like you I then found [[WP:UKCITIES]] which helped enormously. For [[Little Thetford]] I used the editorial facilities available to us all at Wikipedia: [[WP:RFF]], [[WP:PR]], then [[WP:GAN]], [[WP:PR]] (again) and finally [[WP:FAC]]. The FAC was an horrendous process! Given the above, I can provide some overall comments which I hope you take constructively as intended
:* The [[WP:LEAD|lead]] does not summarise the article well. I would suggest leaving this until last. One point I would make about the lead. Who says it is large? Although the word ''large'' is not mentioned in [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(words_to_watch)|MOS:words to watch]], I would be careful of using it unless a [[WP:RS]] says it. [[Littleport, Cambridgeshire|Litteport]] is large and is verifiably so!
:* Bare external links should not be in the main body of the article - see [[WP:EL]]. At the very least convert them all to references using <nowiki><ref>[http://somethwhere]</ref></nowiki> but better is to use a relevant {{TI|Citation}} template. If a link is not appropriate to convert to a reference it should be in the external links section. Avoid links in the external links section that are also referenced in the article
:* Much of the article is unreferenced. If you cannot find supporting [[WP:RS|sources]] with inline [[WP:REF|references]] for every paragraph or potentially contentious statement then such paragraphs and statements should be removed
:* The governance section seems inappropriatly political for an encyclopaedia. I recommemd cutting a lot of it. Consider what would need to be modified if there was a change in political party and remove all such detail - see [[Wikipedia:MOS#Chronological_items]]
:* Consider using prose instead of lists as per [[Wikipedia:MOS#Bulleted_and_numbered_lists]]
:* The Burwell Museum section is probably too [[WP:ADVERT]] and should be cut or significantly reduced
: I have not looked at other article details such as prose, images, [[WP:RS]] nor [[WP:VERIFY]]. My above observations may assist getting through the editorial process ([[WP:PR]], [[WP:GAN]] and [[WP:FAC]]) a little easier. I consider [[WP:RFF]] an earlier editorial process which I suspect is not needed here. I hope it helps. Feel free to drop me a line any time if you feel I can help further. Good luck

::All useful; Governance was knocked together this afternoon but I'm aware it's pretty political so will prob revisit it anyway. I've barely attacked the lead yet and was kind of intending to leave it til last except it kept bugging me so I redid the first para at least. External links and references are also issues I've spotted, and the Museum is why I've tagged it as unsuitable and singled that very point out on the rather long to do list I've put on the talk page! The lists are mainly my notes to tell me what I'm planning to write in, so won't be staying :) Cheers for the reply, I'll copy this onto my own user talk page so I can refer to it easier if you don't mind? - [[User:Burwellian|JVG]] ([[User talk:Burwellian#top|talk]]) 21:18, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

According to [http://maps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyviewer_google/googleviewer.html Geology of Britain viewer], [[Burwell]] sits on an chalk outcrop.

In a pit just to the south a block of it weighing 5 tons, and measuring roughly 100 cu ft, had been obtained. The blocks were shaped with a tool somewhat like a two-edged battle-axe, and allowed to get thoroughly dry before being used for building. In 1952 the 'bond' stone had been worked out at Carter's Pit, but compact unjointed chalk from below its level was being worked for external repairs to [[Woburn Abbey]].

Icknield Way passes just to the south, but will get a mention due to Bronze age findings on the Heath in the south of the parish as well; the A11 certainly looks like a Roman Road too and remains of a Roman villa are known in the village, but can't find a name for the Roman Road. The parish may only extend as far south as the A14 now, but it used to cover part of the racecourse as far as the old A11. The murder is news to me but the riot isn't, I still need to work the details of that out though. Chalk sounds right; there's that and [[clunch]] in the area and a few quarries, plus an obvious ridge extending north of the village towards Burwell Broad and Soham... *copies sources to Burwell talk page* - [[User:Burwellian|JVG]] ([[User talk:Burwellian#top|talk]]) 16:44, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi there! (I would've put these comments on [[User talk:Burwellian/Burwell]], but it looks like space has been reserved. :P

So, on my cursory review of your draft, I'll list my comments below...

*Nice work on expanding such an article, though; it is difficult to put so much into such a small town!

*Frankly, it is amazing that you've been able to find this many sources about Burwell. On a preliminary run-through, it seems like you've got all the content readily outlined. The only thing I can really suggest for you is that, if you want to put Burwell through GA, you'll need to format the references in some manner. Take a look at [[Template:Cite web]] and its sister templates.

Presently, I find that the actual Burwell article meets the criteria to be C-class. My primary concern is that it is not comprehensive, but it looks like you are well on track to fixing that problem, especially given the extensiveness of the subpage variant of the Burwell article. Nice work on achieving your short-term goal. :) --'''[[User:Starstriker7|Starstriker7]]'''<sup>([[User talk:Starstriker7|Talk]])</sup> 05:43, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

== BVC ==

Hi
I was just looking at your user page (being a former Burwellian myself) and noticed your draft article for Burwell Village College. It may be worth mentioning in this article that BVC was not always a primary school. In the 1970's/early 80's Burwell followed the Suffolk system of schools (primary, middle and upper). At this time BVC was the middle school (age 9 to 13 if I recall correctly) and there were two primary schools (Ness Road - now a housing estate, and Parsonage Close, which I think is now sheltered housing). I think it must have been around 1984 when BVC became a primary school. I have no citations for this (I only know because I was there!) but there may be something in some council archives. I hope I am not teaching you to suck eggs/stating the obvious as you may already know all this! --[[User:RE73|RE73]] ([[User talk:RE73|talk]]) 07:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
:I was aware of it not always being a primary, so was as least partly aware of the old set up; I lived for a few years on the former school site on Ness Road and I know some of my teachers at primary had been teaching in the village since before the school was a primary. I'll need to find sources for it, but the main village article is my main priority tbh! Thanks though :) - [[User:Burwellian|JCJ]] ([[User talk:Burwellian#top|talk]]) 08:47, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:File:Territorial control of the ISIS.svg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#F2|section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:File:Territorial control of the ISIS.svg|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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-noimage-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Stefan2|Stefan2]] ([[User talk:Stefan2|talk]]) 19:44, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited [[Ground developments to football stadiums in the English football league system]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[The Dell]].

==Europe 10,000 Challenge invite==
Hi. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge]] has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]]. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like [[Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)]]. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon]], sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 02:41, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
