==Age of Quatermass==
While I entirely concede that Flemyng is indeed only three years younger than Keir, it seems to me that his characterisation was a lot younger than Keir's or anybody else's. Keir seemed to be playing older than he was, and all of the other actors were certainly of or playing the 'greying middle-aged' school. Flemyng just seemed rather younger and a little more dynamic to me, but perhaps that's just my interpretation. [[User:Angmering|Angmering]] 14:50, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This is arguable. I felt that despite Flemyng playing a young man in [[Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels]], his Quatermass seemed very mature, lined, and world weary. This is one reason he succeeded IMO. Perhaps it is because we are older the Quatermasses are looking younger?[[User:DavidFarmbrough|David Farmbrough]] 16:09, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:I'm twenty-one... But I take your point. I suppose he did seem world-weary, but still noticably younger. To be honest I wasn't really all that enamoured of his portrayal - he lacked the charisma of the likes of Morell and Keir, who I think were the two greatest successes in the part. But let's leave the article the way you've phrased it for now, as it covers it I suppose. [[User:Angmering|Angmering]] 15:20, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Of course the biggest contrast is Sir [[John Mills]](IMO the best Quatermass) and Flemyng.

== [[Snape Maltings]] ==

Is it subjective that the most important part of the redevelopment of the Maltings is the concert hall?  I'd have thought that it's the only reason that the place is known outside Suffolk (not to mention internationally); aside from the concert hall, and especially the festival, it's just another commercial tourist redevelopment like countless others. --[[User:Mel Etitis|Mel Etitis]]  ([[User talk:Mel Etitis|<font color="green">Μελ Ετητης</font>)]] 10:18, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

== Sylvia Browne ==

Hello David,

I noticed you made a couple of changed to the [[Sylvia Browne]] article, and most of them were quite good. You managed to rephrase a couple of my edits in a way I think greatly improves the NPOV of the article, which is something I am really striving for, which, to be honest, is hard since I am a very skeptical person. However, I'd just like to clear something up. With regards to the section on her criminal conviction for fraud, you added the following (in bold):

''Critics argue that this incident highlights Brownes unscrupulous nature and begs the question, why did Browne fail to forsee her own conviction? In response to this, Browne explains that her psychic abilities do not work on herself. '''This is also consistent with her stated view that "The only power that I answer to is God and the Christ Consciousness".'''''

I have read this over and over but I still fail to see the correlation between the existing text and the quote you added. Where is this consistency of statements coming from? Have I missed something obvious?

This isn't a personal attack on your contribution (which is much appreciated - like I said, we need NPOV), but a serious question.

'''''I have also posted this message to the [[Talk:Sylvia_Browne#Edits_by_David_Farmbrough|Sylvia Browne Talk Page]].'''''

-- [[User:Qarnos|Qarnos]] 11:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
:::David, you might be interested in checking out [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject_Rational_Skepticism|WikiProject Rational Skepticism]]. I realise you might not consider yourself a "skeptic" but, in this article at least, you have attempted to provide a NPOV, to the extent that I can't even work out what ''your'' view on Browne is, and that is commendable. We are currently discussing guidelines for our work, and trying to work out how to work NPOV into all this, so perhaps you might have something to add to that discussion. You also play/played cricket, which counts as a plus in my book.

:[[User:Qarnos|Qarnos]] 10:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
::::I willingly accept that I am a useless cricketer. That part of my user biog is lifted and adapted from the article on [[Earl of Home|Alec Douglas Home]] I try to be NPOV because I am undecided. Like most mediums, Browne gives a great deal of comfort to bereaved people and to people frightened of death or the death of others. It is possible that she might believe in her abilities, I say this because I think the cold reading technique can be employed subconsciously by empathic people. I consider myself to be a sceptic, rather than a skeptic. [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] 12:25, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

== Bishop Stopford's School at Enfield ==

''Not sure why you changed [[Bishop Stopford's School at Enfield]] from a comprehensive to a public school (you did a category change). Did you do it manually or use a bot? [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] 13:26, 6 January 2006 (UTC)''

Subcategories were created for London [[:Category:Comprehensive schools in Greater London|comprehensive schools]], [[:Category:Grammar schools in Greater London|grammar schools]] and [[:category:Public schools in Greater London|public schools]], and I was recategorising each school accordingly.  The system of simultaneous "comprehensive school in England" and "schools in London" is pointless and so was replaced.  Unfortunately, occasional errors occur when recategorising pages in large numbers.

==Buster Edwards==
(From helpdesk-l)
I received an email on helpdesk-l regarding [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Great_train_robbery_%281963%29&diff=20612989&oldid=20607487 this] edit you made on August 9.

<pre>
To: helpdesk-l@wikimedia.org
Subject: [HelpDesk-l] Re: Article on Buster Edwards
I am writing to you regarding your article on Buster Edwards. I was
distressed and very upset when I read that when he was released from prison
he was allegedly a police informer. How dare you print false allegations
against Buster Edwards. I am very keen to find out how you have actually
obtained this information, and just what the law is with regards printing
false allegations.  I would be grateful if you could withdraw this from your
encyclopedia.

On a company that provides encyclopedias I would expect all the information
that you provide to be accurate and truthful. Obviously this is not the case
and you are therefore selling people a product with false information.

I therefore wish for you to provide me with the address of the company who
supplied this false information to you.

I state yet again you have caused a lot of distress and upset to my family
over this article, and I would like it rectified immediately.

I await your response.

The email is from someone who appears to be a relative of Buster Edwards.  Do you remember where your source was for the information that he was allegedly a police informer? [[User:Silsor|silsor]] 18:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
:My alteration to the text was to add his real name of Ronald and ''Edwards became a flower seller outside [[Waterloo Station]] on his release from prison, and also allegedly a police informer. He apparently committed suicide in 1994''.
:The alleged informer bit was in the news at the time, I believe Radio 4 news, but I do not have a transcript. Please  will note that I put 'allegedly', which merely means that it was ''said'' that he was a police informer, not that it was fact. I can also direct you to this [http://www.bernardomahoney.com/ttsisters/documents/bletter.shtml website] where it is clearly alleged that he was an informer "LISA who described BUSTER as a "fu**cking grass.". As far as I can see, this is sufficient to support a statement that he was an 'alleged' police informer. [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] 08:27, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

== May Day ==

of course you are right; as a non-native speaker, I simply wasn't aware of the difference between "ironic" and "ironical". In [[german language]], there's only one word for both meanings, and although it is formally correct, it is often considered bad style to call things "ironisch" that do not contain at least a small humorous element.

== Tom and Colin ==

Hey, David.  I noticed that you put the word "directly" into the sentence about Tom Baker not being related to Colin Baker.  My understanding is that the two weren't related in any way — what does "directly" add?  Are they indirectly related?  I didn't want to revert without talking to you, as I figured you probably had a good reason for putting it in. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <small>([[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Josiah Rowe|contribs]])</small> 07:32, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
:It's correct to say 'not directly related to' rather than 'not related to', as there is likely to be be an indirect relationship of which we (and perhaps the Bakers) are unaware. Thus, we can't say for certain that they are not related, only that they are not directly related. [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] 09:37, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
::How likely is it, though?  "Baker" is a surname which arose independently in multiple communities.  It's not linked to a single place of origin, nor to a common ancestor real or mythical (as for example, most [[Uí Néill|O'Neills]] are probably descended from [[Niall of the Nine Hostages|Niall of Ulster]] [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,176-1986072,00.html], [http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8600]).  My understanding is that names like "Baker", "Smith", "Taylor" (tailor) and so forth were derived from people who held those occupations in different towns across Britain.  To my knowledge there's no evidence that any two people with the surname Baker are more likely to be related than, say, a Baker and a Miller. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <small>([[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Josiah Rowe|contribs]])</small> 15:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
:::I doubt that the sharing of such a common occupational surname has any impact on the likelihood of a relationship, nor that it has any significant impact on the proximity of such relationship.

== Re:Please stop blocking AOL IPs! ==

Without you quoting a specific example I can't comment on the particular IP you were thinking about. However in general I do very much see blocking AOL IPs as a last resort, but sometimes it has to be done. If I remember rightly I only blocked one AOL IP last night, and it had received three last warnings in a row, was engaging in persistent vandalism (ongoing at time of block) and personal attacks against editors. For a long time now there has been a [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy proposal]] to allow registered users to continue editing when their IP is blocked, you may want to add your support to it (although I think the main thing now is waiting for the developers to implement it).

If you were affected by the block you could ask an admin (via email and/or {{tl|unblock}}) to unblock the offending IP. Hope that helps, feel free to ask me any further questions. [[User:Petros471|Petros471]] 13:33, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

== Dad's Army - the Yeatmans ==

Last year on [[Talk:Dad's Army]] you noted:

''I suspect this [Frazer's trade changing] is just a case of the writers not thinking that their weekly television show would be analysed in such detail (in this respect, Perry and Croft are remarkably consistent with only a few contibuity errors, such as the Yeatmans' Christian names).''

On the [[Maurice Yeatman]] page the question of both his and his wife's first names has come up a few times - can you help elaborate on what seems to be a mess here? [[User:Timrollpickering|Timrollpickering]] 22:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
::Yes. There is an episode in which the Yeatmans are involved in a coach trip for the old folk of Walmington (and (IIRC) in some bizarre car chase with Jones's van and Yearman's motor-cycle with Mrs Fox in the side car).

==Hank Marvin: EFTP==
Hello David,

You are looking for a source for the EFTP (the Echoes from the past) that are used even by "the man himself", too?
Well, just have a look on the homepage of Charlie Hall (Director of EFTP) and You'll see, that I'm right.
I had been invited to go backstage at the concert in Esbjerg in April 2005 and Brian Benett showed me the equipment Hank and Bruce were using at the tour. Imagine, Hank used two extra-programmed ALESIS-Q20 EFTP's to create his absolute unique sound !!!!!

Yours sincerly

Bruce Marvin
:Hmm... a link or two  - and a real name would have been helpful. The homepage of the person selling the equipment may not be as unimpeachable a source as [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] 15:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

- DEAR ADMINS, PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THIS MESSAGE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR EV'RY SHADOWS-FAN ! -

Hello David, hello my very dear Shadows-Fans,

if You are looking for the EFTP, just type in www.eftp.co.uk, use the hyperlink "EFTP" and 
that's it, my friends !
You need an ALESIS Q2 or Q20, send it to the company an they will program it !
If You don't have an ALESIS, no problem, they also sell an already pimped "ZOOM RFX 2200" with
46 different Shadows-Echoes. The Zoom RFX 200 (already pimped) is inclusive shipping to continental Europe at about 460 Euros. And I think, this is absolutely affordable.
If You need Backing-Tracks - no problem !- You can purchase them there, too.
By the way, I compared it with the ALESIS, and I must say, that the ZOOM is much better, more comfortable and has an extreme clear echo-sound.
I used a VOX AC30-Amplifier, the EFTP and my BURNS Prototype Guitar (with REZO-MATIC). Great sound, absolutely no difference to the original sound of Hank Marvin.
The EFTP contents several echoes: MEAZZI ECHOMATIC, BINSON Echorec and BABY BINSON, KLEMT Echolette, ROLAND 301, SWISS Echo and (my favourite) VOX Echo "LONG TOM".
I even could compare the EFTP with an original MEAZZI ECHOMATIC (for the Apache-Sound) and - believe me or not - (JESUS CHRIST !!!!!) you can emulate the real Apache sound with it. 
Great Deal.
For more information or contact, just write me an eMail to: odrdhs@web.de.
I would be very pleased to hear from You !!!

The school is seen as a lead school in this field (hardly suprising given that over 70% of the current intake are of West African, Afro-Caribbean or Black British descent). This is not racist - but an achievment of the school recognised by Government.

What can I say? Sounds like a worthwhile scheme, and probably very well run if it's anything to do with SH, but I am not sure that the term 'Black Boys' should be applicable to anything other than the pub of that name in Tottenham. [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] 16:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

It a term accepted by the Black Community and used by Government. It is very old-fashioned and prejudicial to think otherwise, or do you skirt around the issue or think it is correct to say 'coloured'! ! See

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=ccg&q=Black+Boys+Achievement&btnG=Search&meta=

I had never thought of myself as old fashioned in race issues, but perhaps the world has passed me by....and no, I would never have used the term 'coloured'. [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] 09:17, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

== Replaceable fair use Image:Guy.jpg ==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|32px|left|Replaceable fair use]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Guy.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|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:

# Go to [[:Image:Guy.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:Guy.jpg|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, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|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 <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our [[WP:FUC|Fair Use policy]].

[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:Liveatab.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found  [[WP:FURG|here]].

Please go to [[:Image:Liveatab.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].

=={{{header-text|Notability of [[:Bill Shankley]]}}}==
A tag has been placed on [[:Bill Shankley]], requesting that it be [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:Bill Shankley|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|for biographies]], [[WP:WEB|for web sites]], [[WP:BAND|for bands]], or [[WP:CORP|for companies]].

==Gunnersbury==

David, I fully agree with your comments on the identification of the area of Gunnersbury. Gunnersbury park was where I spent much of my boyhood leisure, and I attended Gunnersbury Grammar School. It was while writing the entry on the Park that I realised that the actual area of "Gunnersbury" is very ill defined. In fact, I'm not sure if it is properly defined at all. Some maps show it as an area, some only identify the park. Perhaps we should poll the local residents. [[User:Peter Maggs|Peter Maggs]] 12:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

:I think Gunnersbury School is outside the area because it moved to the Boston Manor area.
Certainly, for the entry to be encyclopaedic, it could refer to Gunnersbury Ward, which is a strictly defined area. [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] 13:54, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

== Authorized Version ==

I see you have changed this from UK spelling (..ize) to US spelling (..ise) - on the principle of local usage within quotes.  I am afraid I cannot understand your logic, but will not change it back without giving you an opportunity to explain fully. [[User:TomHennell|TomHennell]] ([[User talk:TomHennell|talk]]) 02:21, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

:Thanks Tom, I appreciate the opportunnity. The logic is that it is commonly known as the "Authorised Version" in the United Kingdom, but it is not known as the "Authorized Version" here. It isn't the spelling of the word 'authoris/zed' that we are discussing, but the title of a book in usage in the UK. I hope this clarifies. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 12:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

:: I think you may be working under a misapprehension.  Far the most common designation of the book in the UK is "The Authorized Version":

::   http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=280570 

::(on this see the Oxford English Dictionary, OUP, CUP, etc); which is how the article originally read.  A minority UK spelling is as "The Authorised Version", which I find in some texts and web-pages - mostly, I think due to variant publishers' style guides where marketing is intended outside the UK.  Peake's Commentary, for example, uses this latter form.  But the spelling most commonly adopted in the literature, by textual commentators, and by the Prerogative Printers; should, I think, be the one applied here.

::Yes it '''''is''''' a proper capital city.  As I mentioned above, Sydney is recognised as a capital city (if you doubt me, please ask about this on the discussion page for Sydney).  In the same way, with regard to other Australian states (and territories), [[Brisbane]] is the capital city of [[Queensland]], [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]] is the capital city of [[Western Australia]], [[Melbourne, Victoria|Melbourne]] is the capital city of [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], [[Adelaide, South Australia|Adelaide]] is the capital city of [[South Australia]], [[Hobart]] is the capital city of [[Tasmania]], [[Darwin, Northern Territory|Darwin]] is the capital city of the [[Northern Territory]] &mdash; and all are recognised as capital cities &mdash; while [[Canberra]] is the capital city of the [[Australian Capital Territory]], and, therefore, of [[Australia]].  You can also check the Wikipedia article [[List of Australian capital cities]], as well as checking the following [http://www.australia.gov.au/Capital_Cities official Australian Government website], for confirmation about what I have said.
::However, I assume that you are referring to '''''national''''' capital cities, '''''only''''' (i.e. [[London]] being the capital city of [[England]] and the [[United Kingdom]], and [[Paris]] being the capital city of [[France]]).

Basically, I couldn't find any reference to either stoppel or preclusion on the talk page, and the sentence appears to refer to the US court decision on the visa denial and not to the fraud conviction. I think that the sentence needs to be clarified, because the inmense majority of people reading won't understand what that sentence means or what it refers to. If the intended meaning is that there were no preclusions on the fraud case, then the sentence is in the wrong place or needs a good rewording, since it appears to refer to the US court case on the former sentence and not to the fraud case two sentences before and on the paragraph above. --[[User:Enric Naval|Enric Naval]] ([[User talk:Enric Naval|talk]]) 11:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

'''More information:''' [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12]]


Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a [[:Category:Wikipedians in London|Wikipedian in London]], so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London|social meetups]]. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

==River Brent==
 
If Barrett has  'substantially' copied WP (as opposed to a previous editor copying their leaflet)  then it sounds like a  copyright violation to me.   [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]] If Barrett's have mixed our article text into text they have written, then perhaps their whole leaflet is now (from a legal point of view) under the GFDL.  Without looking at it, I guess, it may be  just a innocent error where the copyrighter has not understood the CFDL licence –( but ignorance is no excuse).

The only advice here on WP (that I can find) is for violations on other websites, but not for printed matter.   [[Wikipedia:Standard_GFDL_violation_letter#Letter_aimed_at_a_specific_violation]]
In the absence of any clear policy advice for tackling the example you have discovered,  I would suggest you ask the same question on [[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)]], pointing out that there is no existing policy guidance for printed material violations. Also ask: in what form you should upload the evidence in; e.g. a jpeg, file or OCR it from a scanned image first ( providing that is, you have OCR software to reduce it to a text file again) etc. This type of violation is bound to happen again, so I think it is worth bringing up. Also, we must avoid the possibility of another editor in the future, deleting our content in the belief that we are violating Barrett's copyright. Therefore, best nip this in the bud before it happens.--[[User:Aspro|Aspro]] ([[User talk:Aspro|talk]]) 16:48, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for that, Aspro. I think you're right that you don't want someone thinking that Wikipedia copied Barrett. It's word for word the same. I was reading it because it was put through my door a few days ago in an attempt to justify Barrett's supposed status as good neighbours. Well on the whole, I think they would have been better neighbours if they hadn't partially demoloshed and weakly restored one of our best-loved listed buildings, and built 771 flats at the end of our road, but never mind.

In any event, Cribbins must remain as "Cribbins"! [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] ([[User talk:DavidFarmbrough|talk]]) 01:37, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

== Bishop Stopford's School ==

Hello,

I see that about a year ago you did a big clean-up on this. I have just done another, though I don't have your advantage of having attended the school. I pared down a certain amount of peacock and cruft, and corrected a lot of presentational errors.

I'm a bit troubled that there are so few references to support many of the claims made. I didn't want to go mad with {{fact}} tags, but I think a harsher editor would, and may yet do so. For instance, the business with the caning shorts on the cushion sounds so delightfully weird that I think we really have to cite somebody or something in its support. (The school's current website seems to say nothing about its history at all.) Could it be in the book, "Treading on the Camomile", which perhaps you possess? If so, I think it needs in-line citations, quoting page numbers.

I'm not saying I don't believe these things, but I think others are likely to challenge them.

BTW aren't the English wonderful at inventing instant new traditions? My school was founded in the 8th century and has fewer traditions than this one founded in 1967!

Best, [[User:Alarics|Alarics]] ([[User talk:Alarics|talk]]) 10:04, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

:Yes that's the source for a lot of it. I am a little weary of personal knowledge being shouted down as "original research" when it usually means that the writer is in a better position than anyone to edit an article. Unfortunately, with an article on a school there are so many vested interests with more time than I to make their petty, niggling amendments that I have for the mosyt part given up bothering. If they want the article about their school to look pedestrian and lame (simultaneously) then let them!

== WLJY → [[WHTQ]] ==

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Hi, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/DavidFarmbrough|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give [[:WLJY]] a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into [[:WHTQ]]. This is known as a "[[cut and paste]] move", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]], which is needed for attribution and various other purposes.  Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the [[Help:Moving a page|"Move" tab]] at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|requested moves]] to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at [[Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove--> '''[[User:Wcquidditch|<font color="red">WC</font>''<font color="#999933">Quidditch</font>'']]''' <big>[[User talk:Wcquidditch|<font color="red">&#9742;</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Wcquidditch|<font color="#999933">&#9998;</font>]]</big> 21:28, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
:: Thank you for alerting me to this new development, however I would remind you that one of the defining features of Wikipedia is the "wiki" principle, which means that edits can be made quickly.

However if I am in a position to effect a similar change in the future, I will look at whether I have time to learn the new software.

==Susan Williams==
Hello. It was Steven Wells (Seething Wells, Swells) who performed his 'punk' poetry under the name "Susan Williams". I'm not aware of CC using it in parady. [[User:ClareGC|ClareGC]] ([[User talk:ClareGC|talk]]) 16:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks. I will re-watch the ORS if I can find them, but if you know of Steven Wells using the name it's less likely that Craig Charles using it. We might have to ask him! [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] ([[User talk:DavidFarmbrough#top|talk]]) 23:30, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
::I haven't seen the ORS. I'd be very interested to hear if CC had ''any'' alter ego, especially if he wore a dress! If you can't find the tapes, maybe ''you'' should ask him?

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Captain Gatso]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''not notable'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Captain Gatso|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Dlohcierekim| <font color="#00ff00"> Dloh</font>]][[User_talk:Dlohcierekim|<font color="#bb00bb">cierekim''' </font>]] 20:38, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

== Your user page ==

I don't know if you've been told this before, but I think that much of your user page is inappropriate. It looks like a [[WP:FAKEARTICLE|Wikipedia article]]. It has far too much material about you that is [[WP:USERBIO|unrelated to Wikipedia]]. Would you consider making some significant changes to it to comply with user page guidelines?--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 01:07, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
: Thanks for the input, but it seemed like the logical way to construct a user page. People do their user pages pretty much according to their own whims, some have photographs of their dogs, others have numerous awards and "barnstars" that they've been given. I choose to do mine in biographic form. You will appreciate it's far too un-encyclopaedic to be mistaken for a Wikipedia article, even supposing someone didn't realise it is a user page. It's also written in the first person. Oh, and no, in seven and a half years of editing, NOBODY has told me this before :) [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] ([[User talk:DavidFarmbrough#top|talk]]) 09:58, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
::I'll ask another admin to take a look, but it still bothers me. Your point about the first person is interesting because I was so struck by the Wikipedia-article-like organization of it that I didn't even notice it was mostly written in the first person.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 23:11, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

*Just happened by this. [[WP:USERBIO]] would be the relevant policy section, possibly along with [[WP:FAKEARTICLE]]. might I propose that the simplest solution would be to slap {{tl|Userpage Blue}} either at the top or the bottom, that should allow David to keep the material without the risk of confusion. [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 23:36, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
:*Yeah, those were the two policy sections I linked in my original comment. I'm not sure that the template solves the problem, actually. It may mitigate one of the problems, the fake article part (I'd put the template at the top to be sure that people see it), but it doesn't resolve the excessive personal material unrelated to Wikipedia.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 00:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Given your extensive contributions to the encyclopedia, I think the content of your userpage is fine. I agree with the suggestion that you should adopted some sort of userpageish decorations or designations to avoid the theoretical possibility that someone would confuse the page for an actual article. This shouldn't be terribly difficult to do, and if you have any questions about how to do it I'm sure someone will be glad to help you. [[User:Newyorkbrad|Newyorkbrad]] ([[User talk:Newyorkbrad|talk]]) 01:31, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

::Goodness me I never realised it could be so important to other people! Well I have designed a small graphic to go at the top, just in case, to prevent any extremely dim users from thinking it's an article page. BTW the words "Fake article" seem a bit disingenuous in this context. The word "fake" suggests an intention to deceive. I hope it's clear that there is no such intention in my case. [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] ([[User talk:DavidFarmbrough#top|talk]]) 04:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
:::That's just the name of the policy shortcut, I agree with your contention that the first person perspective along with the fact that it is in fact a user page make it unlikely anyone would actually think it was an article, and I certainly did not mean to imply you were being intentionally deceptive. I also don't believe, as a matter of policy, that you could or would be made to alter or delete it. Your solution is a bit sarcastic but it certainly does get the job done.

==Forbidden Planet (bookstore)==
Please do not remove fact tags from articles without a valid rationale, as you did with [this edit]. The statement that a store is the largest cult megastore in the UK, and that it hosts genre signings and events notable enough to mention indeed requires [[WP:V|verification]]. The fact that it's "just what they do" does not mitigates this. Thank you. [[User:Nightscream|Nightscream]] ([[User talk:Nightscream|talk]]) 07:05, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
:: I would not - the "citation needed" (or "fact tag" as you call it) appeared to be referring to the sort of thing that they sell and host, NOT the claim about its size. I would suggest you move the "citation needed" to a more appropriate place - after the word "largest". Thank you.

==Doctor Who (series 8)==
I apologise if I have offended you.  However, I must continue to disagree.  In addition to being used in various Doctor Who production blogs, the word filming is analogous to the word recording, and is more familiar to those unaquainted with the terminology of moviemaking. Also, I have yet to see the word "recording" in place of "filming" in the Production section of any major movie.

However, as I do not pretend to be an expert, I won't say that I should have the last word on this subject.  I merely hope that this issue shall be resolved satisfactorally for the benefit of both parties and the accuracy of Wikipedia.

|style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | David Farmbrough - Hi and thank you so very much for all the work you've done for Steve Riks' page on Wikipedia - and for trying to prevent it from being deleted.  My name's Nancy Foster and I'm Stevie's Admin on Facebook - as well as a very good friend.  In July, we updated his Bio on Facebook and I copied it and pasted it here.  I knew I needed to add citations and - to be honest - completely forgot.  I know that's not a great excuse or reason but I only wanted to update this page - especially after the Bowie mix-up.  There's absolutely no PR or advertising intended!    I can't work out how to add a comment to the Delete page that's been created.  This is the only "in" I've found and this will probably be the only time I ever update a Wiki page.  So with that said - could you help me or explain that it was a complete mistake on my part and I've edited his Bio in a chronological way to reflect his almost 40 years as a working and known musician in the UK?  It's incredible just how many people do know of Stevie!   Thanks again for the citations etc. - brilliant job all around.  I hope the edits I made reflect more validity to keeping the page and again - it was totally my mistake to use the Bio from Facebook which is a different concept altogether I know now!   Again, many thanks - Nancy  [[User:Mandamayson|Mandamayson]] ([[User talk:Mandamayson|talk]]) 23:05, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

::Thanks for the Barn star :) I should repeat what I said in the deletion talk page, which is that I am in no way linked to Stevie or interested in promoting him. I created the page to improve Wikipedia. I'm just someone who enjoys music and comedy and (without being a fan), much of Stevie's work. However the problem we face on Wikipedia is the idea of setting the notability threshold really high. I can ALMOST understand why people wanted to do that in the encyclopaedia's early days, but now, we really can afford to have articles on less well-known people, as it's grown a lot in terms of breadth and depth of coverage.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Blue Marble Jack Cheese]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]
{{Quote box|quote=<p>If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read [[WP:Your first article|the guide to writing your first article]].</p><p>You may want to consider using the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard|Article Wizard]] to help you create articles.</p>|width=20%|align=right}}
A tag has been placed on [[:Blue Marble Jack Cheese]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not [[Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance|credibly indicate]] how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about [[Wikipedia:Notability|what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Blue Marble Jack Cheese|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Blue+Marble+Jack+Cheese|deleting administrator}}. <!-- Template:Db-notability-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:FiendYT|<span style="color: darker">FiendYT</span>]] [[User talk:FiendYT|<span style="color: lightblack">★</span>]] 05:38, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

:It makes no sense to tag the article for speedy deletion when it has been present for over three years. Speedy deletion may have been in order in June or July 2014, but it hasn't now suddenly become urgent in November 2017.

The deletion of articles on the grounds of non-notability is the weakest, and becomes progressively weaker as the encyclopaedia grows more comprehensive. In this case, the article was created objectively, with adequate citations, and without a vested interest (the usual problem with non-notable articles). To delete it does not benefit Wikipedia nor its users in any way, and serves only to add to the deleting Admin's delete count.

Please revert the article forthwith. [[User:DavidFarmbrough|DavidFarmbrough]] ([[User talk:DavidFarmbrough#top|talk]]) 05:05, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Nik Carter, Saxophonist.jpg]]''', which you've attributed to Nik Carter. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license. 

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either 
* make a note permitting reuse under the [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]] or another acceptable free license (see [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Free licenses|this list]]) '''at the site of the original publication'''; or
* Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org''', stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter [[WP:CONSENT|here]]. If you take this step, add {{tl|OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org'''. 

If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tl|non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use]], and add a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|rationale]] justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=DavidFarmbrough}} your upload log].

:::{{ping|Paul Benjamin Austin}} You have been editing Wikipedia for a decade. In that time, you don't seem to have had any serious disputes. You were trusted enough to become an admin.

I think something went wrong when you added a reference in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Claudine_Gay&diff=prev&oldid=1188660542 this edit], and I don't want to try to guess at which article you were trying to reference.

:Yes you're right. I was editing it while mobile (walking through some shops) and needed to finish it quickly. When I submitted it, I got an error message stating that the reference I was using wasn't acceptable because it was an abbreviated URL.

Okay–ooh. New <s>teeth</s> newsletter. That's weird... 

<big>'''Hello!'''</big>

:Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who|WikiProject ''Doctor Who'']]. We hope it finds you well in your safe travels across the Whoniverse! This newsletter was founded in 2008 and seemed to get lost in the time vortex quite quickly. Thanks to the Doctor dragging Sutekh through the time vortex and bringing life by bringing death to death (''yeah... I'm a little confused too''), it seems to have regenerated. The writing staff hopes to bring you future editions quarterly.

:For this first edition, we have created an updated version of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Newsletter/Mailing list|our mailing list]] that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Participants/Active participants|our participants list]]. If you do not wish to receive future editions, please remove your name from the mailing list. If you no longer wish to participate in the project, please also remove your name from the participants list.

:I think that's enough about the newsletter for now. Let's dive into interesting things happening within the ''Doctor Who'' side of Wikipedia. Geronimooooo.....

{{columns-start|num=2}}

<big>'''Big Spike in Productivity'''</big>
:During 2024, the project has scored 8 GAs, 2 FLs and a GT, up from last year's 4 GAs and a GT. Several additional things are in the pipeline, with a bunch of things currently having been nominated with some mix of [[User:OlifanofmrTennant|OlifanofmrTennant]], [[User:TheDoctorWho|TheDoctorWho]], and [[User:Pokelego999|Pokelego999]] having their names attached to them. Allow me to look into the nominees.

# Series 14: As of July 18th, every single episode has been sent to GAN, with "[[Boom (Doctor Who)|Boom]]", "[[73 Yards]]", and "[[The Devil's Chord]]" having made it to GA.
# 2023 Specials: Early in the year, as part of trying to not lose the WikiCup, Ollie sent "[[The Star Beast (Doctor Who episode)|The Star Beast]]" <small>(still salty about the move)</small> to GAN. It was reviewed by [[User:Bilorv|frequent collaborator]] <small>(fly high)</small> of hers, but failed. She then fixed it up and sent it back where it passed. Later "[[The Giggle]]" was expanded and sent to GA, followed shortly by "[[Wild Blue Yonder (Doctor Who)|Wild Blue Yonder]]". WBY received help by [[User:JustAnotherCompanion|JustAnotherCompanion]], a pretty fresh user. This other companion chose not to be listed as co-nom. A page was created for "[[Destination: Skaro]]" and quickly got GA status.
# ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' was also sent to GAN by [[User:Rhain|Rhain]]. It passed to join Rhain's other First Doctor content, being the fourth season three article to get the green check. 
# Peter Capaldi: The [[Peter Capaldi filmography |filmography]] and newly created [[List of awards and nominations received by Peter Capaldi|awards]] of Capaldi were both sent to FLC and passed. Capaldi's main page was sent to GA, though due to some minor incompetence on the part of the nominator it was failed.
{{column}}

<big>'''Proposals to the WikiProject'''</big>
:A recent proposal at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who]] suggested potential improvements and suggestions for the main page of the project, as well as discussions about the project overall. The proposals are as follows: 
# The Task Forces section should be removed due to inactivity in the Torchwood Task Force, and a lack of significant interest in creating further Task Forces.
# The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site. 
# Due to the low quality of ''[[Lungbarrow]]'' and ''[[Jubilee (audio drama)|Jubilee]]'' despite being sample articles, these articles should either be removed as samples or improved. Additionally, the "sample device" has a very small application field, and should be removed from the sample articles section.
# An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by [[Wikipedia:VGCHAR]].
# ''[[Radio Times]]''{{'}}s ''Doctor Who'' sections should be included in the references section due to their benefits for the project sourcing wise.
# The Deletion Discussion archive should be removed, or have work invested in updating it, due to its lack of updates. 

If you feel you have any thoughts or suggestions on these matters, or on any other matters pertaining to the project and its main page, feel free to chime in the ongoing discussion.

{{columns-end}}

<big>'''Discussions of Note'''</big>

A move discussion is [[Talk:Doctor_Who_series_14#Second_requested_move|currently underway]] on whether or not [[Doctor Who series 14|''Doctor Who'' series 14]] should be moved to [[Doctor Who season 1 (2024)|''Doctor Who'' season 1 (2024)]]. The discussion also involves conversation on a few other adjacent articles. If you have an opinion on the matter please read over the discussion or leave comments.

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?

<big>'''Welcome'''</big>

:Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.}}

{{columns-start|num=2}}

<big>'''Articles for deletion'''</big>
<br>Several articles have been nominated for deletion,  such as [[Time War (Doctor Who)]], and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of [[WP:SIGCOV]] and [[WP:NBOOK]]. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.

<big>'''Notice of Draft Articles'''</big>
<br>A new ''Doctor Who'' spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called ''[[The War Between the Land and the Sea]]'', and will feature old and new [[Whoniverse]] characters working for [[UNIT]] as they battle the [[Sea Devil (Doctor Who)|Sea Devils]]. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is [[Draft:The War Between the Land and the Sea|currently underway in a draft article]]. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at [[WP:NTV]].

<br>There is also a [[Draft:Joy to the World (Doctor Who)|draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special]]. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.

<big>'''Doctor Who News'''</big>
<br>A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of [https://www.doctorwhonews.net/ Doctor Who News]. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the [[Appreciation Index]] of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.

<br>A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the [[WT:WHO|WikiProject talk page]].

{{column}}

<big>'''Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content'''</big>
<br> There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Doctor_Who/Goals|sub-page]] has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.

<big>'''Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject'''</big>
:Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:
:1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.
 
:2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit. 

:3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue. 

:If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Doctor_Who#On_the_Subject_of_Fictional_Elements_in_this_WikiProject|the article's talk page]].

You have added the definite article to 'Ukraine' making it 'The Ukraine'. I am proposing to revert your change to 'Ukraine', referring you to the Etymology and orthography section of the WP article 'Ukraine' where it is observed that 'The official Ukrainian position is that "the Ukraine" is both grammatically and politically incorrect.'

<big>'''Reliable Sources'''</big>
:A [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Doctor_Who#CultBox|discussion]] on the reliability of [https://cultbox.co.uk/ CultBox] has determined that it should be phased out of use in the WikiProject. This source has been widely used across project articles, especially for information about filming. Concerns that the website is self-published and has poor editorial standards were raised. In some articles, project editors have already begun depreciating the source.

:Similar concerns were raised about [https://doctorwhotv.co.uk Doctor Who TV (doctorwho.tv.co.uk)]. Uses of this source have also been depreciated. This website should NOT be confused with [https://doctorwho.tv Doctor Who TV (doctorwho.tv)], a commercial website published by the Beeb, which is acceptable for use as a primary source.

:As discussed in the previous issue, [https://doctorwhonews.net/ Doctor Who News] has been widely phased out where possible. If you have any comments about these sources or any others, please contribute to the discussions on the project talk page.

Discussions can be found on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who|the WikiProject's talk page]], with discussion still well under way in ironing out which articles pass the notability bar. 

:You can contribute by helping to improve articles of the novels, and other extended media, and bringing attention to the ones that might not.

Thanks for your contributions to [[Draft:Ken Pearson|Ken Pearson]]. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because '''it has no sources''' and '''it needs more sources to establish notability'''.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

{{center|One hell of a newsletter.}}

{{center|<big>'''Geronimoooo!'''</big>}}

{{center|Apparently this newsletter the queen of outer space... wait... no, sorry; that's Belinda! Swashbuckle your seatbelts because this newsletter is full of information regarding recent happenings in the ''Doctor Who'' WikiProject. You'll also find updates on the upcoming series and elsewhere the expanded Whoniverse.}}

{{columns-start|num=2}}

<big>'''Series 15'''</big>
:The [[Doctor Who series 15|fifteenth series]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' is set to begin this Saturday with "The Robot Revolution" on 12 April and will conclude eight weeks later after "The Reality War" airs on 31 May. It will once again be accompanied by a new series of ''[[Doctor Who: Unleashed]]''. Draft articles for all eight episodes have already been created, the links to which [[Talk:Doctor_Who_series_15#Episode_redirects|can be found here]]. New novelisations adapting the first three episodes of the series are set to be released on 10 July.

<big>'''Recent Article Regenerations'''</big>
:Since the last Newsletter, we've had a whole heap of quality content added to the Project. The articles [[Thasmin]], "[[Joy to the World (Doctor Who)|Joy to the World]]", [[Vislor Turlough]], "[[Space Babies]]", "[[Legend of the Sea Devils]]", [[Weeping Angel]], [[Doctor Who series 13|''Doctor Who'' series 13]], ''[[Pyramids of Mars]]'', "[[The Legend of Ruby Sunday]]", "[[The Power of the Doctor]]", ''[[The Twin Dilemma]]'', "[[The Husbands of River Song]]", "[[Demons of the Punjab]]", [[Doctor Who Live]], "[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]", and ''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]'' have all been improved to GA-level quality. [[List of Torchwood episodes|List of ''Torchwood'' episodes]] and [[List of Doctor Who episodes (2005-present)|List of ''Doctor Who'' episodes (2005-present)]] have been improved to FL-level quality, while the [[Wikipedia:Good topics/Doctor Who specials (2022)|''Doctor Who'' specials (2022)]] and [[Wikipedia:Good topics/Doctor Who series 14|''Doctor Who'' series 14]] Good Topics have been successfully promoted. 

:An additional good topic covering the series articles from 2005–present has [[Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Doctor Who (2005–present)/archive1|been nominated and is currently receiving feedback]]. Though content creation has slowed in recent months, content improvement should hopefully see an increase as series 15 ticks ever closer. 
{{column}}

<big>'''Future Project Goals'''</big>
:The WikiProject will once again be working in collaboration to complete a Good Topic encompassing the series and its related articles. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated. Several editors have planned upcoming work for ''Doctor Who''-related character, episode, and performer articles. More information, as well as where you can find out how to help, can be found it at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Goals]].
