Bloxham

Do you have a source for the claim that Bloxham's church spire is the highest in Oxfordshire? It isn't mentioned on the Bloxham Website, and I haven't been able to find any other confirmation. (It isn't that I don't believe you – it sounds reasoable enough – but we have a policy on giving citations.) --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:50, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks — that's great; I've added the link to the article and as a citation (though, as the article only says "reputedly", I've added a qualifier). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:52, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

helpful tip

hi, I notice you on the new article patrol (you beat me to Mr George Guyatt). I notice that you wrote {{db| An article about a real person, group of people, band, or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject}}. While that is 100% correct a the tag {{db-bio}} will have the same effect. If you want to know about more shortcut for speedy deletes see the list on the sidebar of the page Wikipedia:Speedy deletions. Jon513 20:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

the correct way to deal with vandalism is first to leave an appropiate message on his user page see Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace for the full list. Generally he will be blocked with you having to do anything. In this case I have already reported him to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Jon513 20:34, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes i am and what has someone put on the bottom here above this ? also ive seen your bretch hill stuff

Think of something we do about idealy a new article but a stub will do can you think of one?

Substing talk templates

Hi, Thatperson. Just a note that it's recommended when leaving warining templates on editor's talk pages to Subst them ( so that {{test}} is added as {{subst:test}} ). Happy patrolling and editing - Peripitus (Talk) 12:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Bretch Hill

Hi Thatperson, your suggestion of merging the Bretch Hill and Neithrop pages might be a good idea. I included Orchard Fields based on the fact that I grew up on the Bretch Hill estate and went to that school myself (when it was still called the Neithrop) and knew lots of other children from the estate who went there too (though admittedly this was before William Morris existed). Perhaps the main article should be Neithrop and Bretch Hill should be a subsection within it.MFlet1 12:45, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

RE Bretch Hill/Neithrop boundary: I'm not sure there's any official boundary but I tend to think of Hastings Road, Prescott Avenue and Edmunds Road as all being part of the Bretch Hill estate as they were built at the same time, and The Fairway, Withycombe Drive etc as being part of Neithrop.MFlet1 17:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi again, in answer to your question, I don't really know anything about the other estates as I've hardly ever visited them! MFlet1 21:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

banbury related articles

hi saga city two things, firstly, was it necessary to change the articles to say for example hardwick, banbury to hardwick, oxfordshire? i ask because i know you stated banbury was not a county but it might make people think hardwick is a seperate settlement withen oxfordshire, southampton has a similar arrangement of articles on estates and they have southampton as an extension for all articles. You also stated that a couple of them were unique, well someone from another town may add another grimsbury from there town, i think it would be best to insure ourselfs from that sort of thing esspecially as they are not major articles, ill wait for your response before any major edits. Thanks Thatperson 16:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC) :)

There are well-established naming conventions for placenames throughout the world. They allow redlinks to be created with a fair degree of certainty that the article will link to them if/when it's created. This was the case with some of the Banbury articles (see, for each, "What links here"). The standard for the UK is placename alone, if not unique then it's placename followed by ceremonial county. If there are two places in a ceremonial county then it's placename followed by district. The problem that your renaming exercise caused was that all the Banbury articles formed a little self-referential pool within Wikipedia but - as the 'Banbury' affix is not standard - they were invisible to other article thus causing unecessary redlinks. The problem with that is that someone else will start an article with the 'approved' name, which in the long run leads to further problems. Can I suggest you look at "What links here" for each of the articles in question and you will see that many pick up pointers from elsewhere in Wikipedia. It is this connectivity that make Wikipedia the useful tool that it is and why following established naming conventions for places and people enhances this. I understand why you named them as you did (another editor insists on affixing the non-standard 'Huddersfield' to places there) but I hope you will understand why I brought them into mainstream Wikipedia practice.

Hi there. I have no argument with your assessment of this article, but you are not using the {{db}} template in quite the right way. There are a list of specific reasons accepted in wiki as reasons for speedy deletion; they can be found at WP:SPEEDY. Hope this helps.--Anthony.bradbury 11:34, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: southampton suburbs map

Hi, thanks for your message. The map I created was based loosely on a Google maps image too; I'm more than happy for you to change it to a better image if you have one. Something to note though is that there are a whole series of these images that I've uploaded; one with no suburbs highlighted, and then one for each suburb with the relevant suburb highlighted. If you have the time and inclination, it would be great if we could keep them all looking consistent. But I'm not precious about the images at all, so do feel free to go ahead and be bold. Cheers, Waggers 11:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Speedcubing

I put that up there because I doubt those articles will be enough on their own for the foreseeable future, but they'd greatly improve the speedcubing article as well as incubate there. I put the tag up rather than just doing it though because discussion like this is necessary and healthy towards keeping harmony on here and improving the encyclopedia as a whole. We can agree to disagree and take no action, but I hope we can find a compromise. I don't feel very strongly about the speedcubing merge, i'm just sharing my opinion.

WP:ADOPT

Hi there,

As a user looking to Adopt with the Adopt-a-User program, there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention, as well as request help with the backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

You should know that the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user on offering adoption please change the {{Adoptme}} template to {{Adoptoffer}} on the user's user page, and this will add the user to Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking. Once adoption is complete please use the templates found here on the Adoptee's and your user page.

Also numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a list of users available for adopting, to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

Furthermore a new Adopter's Area has been created where you can find useful resources and other Adopter's experiences. Please feel free to add any resources you have and if you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them here.

So I hope you get adopting soon - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User please bring them to our talk page. Cheers Lethaniol 15:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Article deletion

the articles Speedcubing in the united states and speedcubing in the united kingdom have both been deleted. 18:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I put them both up for the five day deletion. Do you think if i tagged my user page for speedy deletion it would be deleted? because i want it to be deleted and i will copy and paste the code back on so it wont say i have 210 edits to it.

Midlands + stuff

[1] lol ! view the 2nd line it has a 2006 estimate for the population, why cant Banbury have this !? also view this - [2] go down to the - Leicester firsts - section and read it svery interesting especially - First roundabout in the UK - was built there ! intriguing maybe we could something like this for banbury. any thoughts ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Noface1 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Re: Speedcubing infobox

Hi! Thanks for your message. As I had mentioned on the article's Talk page, there were a couple of reasons why I removed the infobox. One of the main reasons was that I didn't feel it really added very much to the article -- given that the articles for other sports don't have infoboxes (for example, baseball, basketball, and hockey all lead in without an infobox), and the types of things that were included in the box you put in, it seemed a bit disorganized, distracting, and detracting from the overall streamlined look we're aiming for in the article. In addition, some of the facts were inaccurate, or felt like they weren't suitable for the lead image, and one of the first things that a reader would look at.

Please don't get me wrong -- I really appreciated the work you put into it, and the initiative that you took with it. I just felt that the article worked better without it. Please feel free to discuss it further with me, though, or take the discussion back to the article's Talk page. I hope my response was helpful! --Twilightsojourn 16:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, that's quite handy! Well, I competed in the 2003 World Championships, but I don't think the WCA had been formed at that point, so I'm guessing that technically, I haven't. :-( I'd like to go to the World Championships later this year, though, so I guess if I make it, I'll be able to use your userbox. :-) Thanks! --Twilightsojourn 16:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:Banbury Miscellaneous

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

Everything on this template is allready included in the miscellaneous of Template:Banbury Wards

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on [[Talk:Template:Banbury Miscellaneous|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Dzhugashvili (talk) 15:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Another country outline moved to article space!

Topic outline of Zimbabwe is now in article space. It still needs images and some bluelinking, and is undoubtedly missing some relevant links.

Please take a look at it. You will no doubt spot things you can easily fix that I overlooked.

Map of Banbury

Hi TP. Your map of Banbury is good but it would be even better if you could list all of the areas shown on the map in the Banbury article. I guess a full list would look something like this (based on memory, as I haven't lived there for nearly 20 years!):

1) Hardwick

2) Ruscote

3) Neithrop

4) Bretch Hill

5) Poets Corner

6) Area between Broughton Rd and Bloxham Rd (not sure what you call this)

7) Easington

8) Calthorpe

9) Cherwell Heights

10) er...there isn't a 10

11) Grimsbury

12) Town centre

A-D) As shown

E-H) Not sure - never ventured to those parts very often! MFlet1 (talk) 12:59, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Banbury Estates.PNG

A tag has been placed on File:Banbury Estates.PNG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:File:Banbury Estates.PNG|the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Thatperson,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
