Celluloid and another plastic

I posted a suggestion on your Celluloid page that the article should also be listed in one of the plastics categories.

Another cellulosic plastic, which doesn't have an article on Wikipedia, is Tenite.

http://www.eastman.com/Brands/Tenite/Tenite_Intro.asp

Since that's the company site, they of course don't mention the problems they had with it through at least the early 1940's. Tenite would start to soften and warp at around 200 degrees Fahrenheit and even worse, it would emit a smell (horrible, repulsive, stench) very much like a cross between vomit and cat urine. (I'm working on reproducing some 1940 Nash interior parts in a cast polyurethane resin, so I have rather too much "first nose" experience with the awful, horrible, I-want-this-crap-out-of-my-shop-ASAP! smell.)

So there's an article, if you wish to tackle it. :) If Wikepedia could do smells, I could donate a piece of the stinky stuff. It only takes a tiny bit to make a whole room stinky. (Seriously, this smell should be synthesized for riot dispersal!)

Thanks, I will look into that when I get a minute :) Nick Boulevard 18:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Guillemots

Hey! I'm editing with you the Guillemots (band) article and I have just found someting strange... Where did you find that they signed to Polydor? I have this information at BBC Brasil's website but it tells just they signed to Polydor and will be releasing the first album soon... I would like to know more about it since it's weird the Fantastic Plastic's website is publishing they will release a new single...-Stefanobw^talk 12:20, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Block

I just blocked 195.92.67.75 due to an extreme amount of vandalism originating from that address. I understand that you often use this IP address. If this block collaterally damages you, please let me or another admin know and we will unblock the IP. I'm not sure what to do to stop the vandalism other than the blocks, though. --Yamla 21:30, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, sorry for late reply, I haven't edited wikipedia for a while now, that IP I think was when I first came to wikipedia and I am pretty sure that all of my edits were relating to the construction of Brum pages, I only edit through this IP now, thanks for letting me know anyway.

Energis plc associated IP addresses

Nick, there is a note at the top of User talk:62.25.106.209 that refers to Energis plc as the organisation associated with an IP range. Should this organisation be considered an ISP in the sense of {{ISP}} or a more generic organisation in the sense of {{sharedIP}}? Thanks for the clarification.

Speedy deletion nomination of Urban Dubz Records

A tag has been placed on Urban Dubz Records requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not 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 criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Handsworth Discussions

Dear Nick
I note that you made a contribution to the discussion regarding Handsworth that states you personally know of two police officers being shot in a car in Handsworth. When did this happen?
I was brought up in Handsworth, and have family and my Church in the area still, as well as working there for many years.
I have consulted others but no one can recollect such a thing happening.
I note that this does not appear to have made the news as many of these things normally do - in terms of any search that I can find.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Rave (magazine), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Edwardx (talk) 13:18, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
