Hi, just a note--Wikipedia is not a collection of source material. For that, you might want to check out our sister project, Wikisource. They already had the text of The Cornelian there, so I've deleted the version you posted here. Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 21:15, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

Woodcarving

I noticed that you have contributed to the Wood carving article. Please vote for Woodcarving at the Wikipedia:Article Improvement Drive --Reflex Reaction 14:56, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Redirect bypassation

Hi, I noticed that you made an edit to bypass a redirect at Pattern matching. However, WP:REDIRECT specifically forbids editing solely to avoid redirects - it introduces needsless verbiage at a net heavier load on the servers. Please bear this in mind when you are pondering circumventing redirects. --Sam Pointon 22:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

My mistake - it was adding a whole new link, not just piping. I should look at the diffs closer. --Sam Pointon 22:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Tobacco Smoking

I see that you have made major contributions to the Tobacco smoking page on Wikipedia and I have a question. Do you know anything about tobacco farm subsidies as they relate to the government fight against smoking? --GoOdCoNtEnT 20:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry GoOdCoNtEnT, haven't a scobie. scope_creep 19:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

British linkfixing

Since [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|British]] wikilinks to a redirect, wouldn't it be simpler to just make your edits point to United Kingdom? Or am I missing something? --DeLarge 22:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Naw, I don't think so. There is 3 seperate phases of brits, most of them cover that (80%). There is also the British empire, which is in the second period. I think it would blur it. If you could identiy which articles relate to brits later than 1922, the modern era and wasn't antyhing to do with army, then you would get 80% of them, and the link could be put in there. i think 10% 300 or so, is 1700 stuff. I think this is my last disamg gaf. (scope_creep 19:37, 5 August 2006 (UTC))

I reiterate the OP. Please stop disambigging to a redirect. Eitehr fix the link properly, or leave it as it is. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

"Speedy delete" call

With regards to this edit:

Please note that "non notable" is not a criteria for speedy deletion. Failure to assert notability is. For more information on when exactly to call for (as well as when not to call for) a speedy delete, refer to Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_NESkimos

Could you also look at your vote on the NESkimos artical? The arguments for a keep are there, but to recap for you, 1. The artical passes one, maybe two, points, however it only needs to pass ONE. 2. Notable sources have been cited.

Thank you very much!

Regarding your vote for deletion: I reviewed the Wikipedia deletion policy and did not see "notable" as a requisite criteria for inclusion. I believe that XPLANE IS notable, however I petition you to withdraw your vote for deletion as it does not appear to be supported by the Wikipedia policy. dgray_xplane

In the software deployment discussion you commented that "...updating software is a nightmare sometimes. I think is needs several categories the question is what."

Re: Help with creating maps

Hello Scope creep,

Thanks for the contact. Thinking hard how exactly I can get across the map-making process, I think the first question I should ask should be if you are familliar with Adobe Illustrator or other vector based graphics software? If you're familliar with this kind of software I think I can communicate the process quite well. -- Jza84 · (talk) 21:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

AfDs

On November 18., you contributed to 78 different AfD debates over 9 hours, some of them several times. I admire your industry--and your remarkable range of interests--but one thing that would help us all, is that if you failed to find sources for an article, tell us where you looked so the work doesn't have to be duplicated.

Scottish Junior football

You recently contributed to an AfD for several Scottish Junior Football Association teams, you are aware that Junior football does not mean youth football in Scotland Aren't you?King of the NorthEast 00:01, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Do you actually have any knowledge about Scottish football outwith the SPL or are you just another ignorant user who wants to rid wikipedia of any articles with are of no relevance to you personally?

Junior football is a very valued level of football where local communities can go along and get involved with their local team and feel like the can influence to help the local area. Please can you put any respond on my usertalk page, thanks Dreamweaverjack (talk) 04:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

AfD edit summaries

Please use your edit summaries. Further, adding a comment either for or against is not at all a minor edit. Rather, put a summary, even just 'delete' or 'keep'. When nominators or other involved parties set the AfD to be watched, they won't see your input, jsut he bolded M. thank you. ThuranX (talk) 00:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

AFD

If you're going to be an AFD regular from now on, I think we all would appreciate it if you would familiarize yourself better with policy documents. For instance, "hail to the speedy" is really unnecessary and misleading when articles are not eligible for an actual speedy deletion. Speedy is not for getting rid of stuff you don't like faster. Also, when making arguments about notability, try to generalize a little less and invoke policy a little more. We're not asking for your opinion of the person, we're asking for your evaluation of the article and its conformance to guidelines. Thanks! --Dhartung | Talk 19:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Is this a typo?. Regards, Rudget.talk 19:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, no it does not. Read WP policies regarding the matter. It is clearly not notable. scope_creep (talk) 22:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

This has been previously debated and resolved in favor of pages similar to In Vento

Please read the (much too) long debates on my talk page (they're way too long -- and boring! -- to cross post.) If you want I can refer you to various articles' talk pages with further debates.

An unrelated matter; please post your comments at the bottom of my talk page (or anybody else's for that matter). You can do so automatically by clicking on the little plus sign between "edit this page" and "history".

David M. Broome notability

I've deleted the speedy tag from the article David M. Broome because I believe the references in the article at least presume to give some indication for real notability. Please feel free to prod or send to WP:AFD if you continue to disagree.

After much struggling with the author about the speedy tag, he's gotten the message and now seems to understand how things work here. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 22:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Meat shoot speedy tag

Hi there, I've declined the speedy tag here although I absolutely agree that the article is original research. However OR is not a sufficient reason for speedying, and I suggest going through WP:PROD or WP:AFD instead. Incidentally, when tagging an article it's a good idea to warn the originating editor that you've done so. I guess you applied the tag manually? Using something like WP:TWINKLE does this autmoatically (sorry if I'm teaching grandma to suck eggs here...) Kim Dent-Brown ^(Talk) 22:49, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD

Why have you nominated FIMI number-one hits of 2002 and FIMI number-one hits of 2008 for deletion? There's absolutely nothing wrong with those articles, they're sourced and everything, and you didn't give a reason for deletion either. Funk Junkie (talk) 23:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries when tagging articles for speedy deletion. You may also want to hold your horses as you have had a number of nominations declined recently. Catchpole (talk) 10:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Stephen Farrows and the Rig Rompers

I believe that this is a good and benefitial article. But it is not notable. How would the Author make this notable to Wikipedia's tight restrictions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephenbarrows15 (talk • contribs) 02:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of List of places in East Renfrewshire

A tag has been placed on List of places in East Renfrewshire requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mblumber (talk) 13:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Prod

I've put a prod tag on Achnacloich, Isle of Skye. There are numerous sub-hamlets in the system that are plucked out of gazetteers and unlikely ever to become meaningful articles. Ben MacDui 07:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Achnaluachrach, and Achnaluacharch

Hi Scope Creep, I assume these two actually refer to the same place - can you confirm? If so can you redirect the one with the mis-spelling to the one without, as it's not obvious to me. If they are not, then I think a {{distinguish}} template is fairly essential! Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 10:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Um, just a thought, in future could you make sure that entries are not "crap", before adding articles. I suggest that making sure that a place exists is a prerequisite for starting an article. A number of users have raised concerns in the past that "non-places" are being added all too frequently. Please see this discussion at Wikiproject Scotland. Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 15:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Achnaluachrach is listed in a book of Scottish Place Names, from the Gaelic: achadh ("field") & luachair ("rushes"); and I've found it on a map. The second one my be a typo, as it is not in the book nor the map.Pyrotec (talk) 16:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

It strikes me that Achnaluachrach, Sutherland is a single farm (is it current or a ruin?) and the Glen Spean Lodge Hotel at Roybridge is at Achluachrach (map). Both of the names used in this header are mis-spelt. Neither is worthy of an article! Better to have a Roybridge article, which could mention the hotel, a hostel (Àite Cruinnichidh) and an impressive gorge on the river - I can recommend all 3. Finavon (talk) 18:09, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Scope creep, no probs, I didnt realise you were involved with such a herculean task, so I was maybe a bit snappy too. But I still think these borderline places need to be checked, not only as to whether they exist, but as Finavon comments, whether they merit an article in the first place. I don't know how feasible that is, (without actually going there!) but personally I would err on the side of caution. Verifiability is after all WP's most fundamental policy. Regards, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 08:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good, the OS maps are really detailed, and up to date too. Keep up the good work! Regards, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 16:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Small villages

Whilst your industry is admirable I wonder if you would mind checking that the OS grid references you provide for Highland villages are accurate and that the OS map links there? Also, please note that villages on Skye fall under Category:Skye Villages. Thanks. Ben MacDui 12:22, 1 January 2009 (UTC).

A little research is a wonderful thing. Sconser is hardly "remote" in the context of the west Highlands. As you later note, it is on the main road. Category:Villages in Highland is very large and needs attention. This is why Skye villages are placed in Category:Skye Villages. If you are going to cut and paste text for numerous articles on these tiny places, you might at least save others the trouble of having to change this every time. Please also note that "Isle of Skye" is a redirect, this being a colloquial expression. The islands name is Skye. Thank-you. Ben MacDui 07:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Please not that Ross-shire has not been a county since 1889. Better to use Wester Ross, Ross and Cromarty etc. Ben MacDui 07:51, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Re:Applecross

Hi Scope creep - was there any reason why you deleted the coordinates for Applecross? I've put them back, but if there was a good reason why you took them out, feel free to remove them again - preferably with some explanation in the edit summary! Grutness...wha? 05:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Scope creep,

Question: I'm unfamiliar with these children's books, and find nothing when I search Google with the term "Bobo Bowen" or when I search Dorling Kindersley's site with the terms "Wendy James" or "The Adventures of Bobo Bowen". Can you help me out here? AtomikWeasel (talk) 02:00, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for responding. Agreed. I don't doubt you for an instant, but without anything we can find I suppose it's best you remove it pending a proper cite of some sort. – If that makes sense to you as well. AtomikWeasel (talk) 03:08, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tagging

Please take a few minutes to read over the speedy deletion guidelines. I have been following you around, trying to clean up your mis-tagged articles.

this is a db-bio, there is content, there is not info about why they are notable

this needs refs, but is certainly not gibberish

Same deal here

--Terrillja _talk 00:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

--Thanks for the help, I know I made a boo boo of some of that. I've read the speedy deletion guidelines. I've been spending the last couple of hours trying to apply them, i'll need to do a bit more reading of wp policies, get a bit more practive in. scope_creep (talk) 00:50, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I made a ton of mistakes when I was learning. If you aren't sure on one, want me to check over them or have any other questions, feel free to drop a note on my talkpage. FWIW, I use twinkle to tag with csd tags. Once you get the idea of the criteria, you may want to check it out. Helps with AfD tagging too, you just have to be careful because it can be too easy to tag an article for csd or AfD--Terrillja _talk 00:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Serious Eats entry

Hey, dude. I saw you hit "Serious Eats" up for a speedy deletion. I wanted to thank you for being vigilant with articles that may not meet Wikipedian standards, such as Ariel Zelichov, which was a good catch. But I would ask you to take the time to read the talk pages before you do so. Thanks. Ks64q2 (talk) 03:42, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

The Food Channel

This may well fail WP:WEB but the standard for speedy deletion is stricter than that. Specifically "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source. If the claim's credibility is unclear, you can improve the article yourself, propose deletion, or list the article at articles for deletion." The criteria also specifically state that this "is a lower standard than notability". In general this is taken to mean that if there are suggestions that it could meet notablity requirements then it shouldn't be speedied. The two sources indicate why it may be notable. Additionally the article also mentions a newsletter which was published regularly for a long time which also indicates to me it may be notable. Finally it's been around for a while with some pretty regular editors have edited it, and has been the subject of discussion at WP:RfD so if it were an obvious speedy I'm sure someone else would've tagged it. Yes I accept this is a border line case but all-in-all, for the little extra effort involved, I think this is worth taking to WP:PROD or WP:AfD. Dpmuk (talk) 10:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Scope creep! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 920 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

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

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 21:39, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
