UKIP

Read this section of the talk page and also WP:BRD and WP:NPA and learn to use the talk page of the article. Also the simplest of web searches would have established the name of Louise Bours. No idea why you would want to change that but if you do then find a source ----Snowded ^TALK 08:59, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Cecilia Chancellor

Hi Urquhartnite, why have you posted that I am connected to this article? I put it through Afc (Articles for Creation), but have no connection to the subject. I think you may have misunderstood somewhere. Perhaps read around the guidance a bit before you make similar contributions. I've posted on the talk page of Cecilia Chancellor. Could you revert your edit please. Many thanks. Libby norman (talk) 10:20, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi again, I've now made the reversion myself, as this was clearly a good faith error on your part. I have no connection to Cecilia Chancellor, so no COI. I'm not sure how you decided I did, but would be happy to talk through this edit with you via my Talk page or on here if you wish to discuss. Thanks. Libby norman (talk) 10:30, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

I've now removed the other COI notice as I think this may also be a good faith error. I can't actually see evidence that the editor concerned was engaged in long-term manipulation, although they did create the page, and it would be rather hasty to 'name and shame' without clear proof. Do come back if you wish to discuss or I've missed something forensic. Libby norman (talk) 14:19, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Alan Mak MP

Re your editing of Alan Mak MP wiki page entry. I am not Alan Mak MP so it is not autobiographical. Nor do I work for him or have any connection. This is clearly a good faith error. Also if you look at the page history I didn't create or make extensive edits. I voted Labour in the past not Conservative. I made tiny edits to reference well known facts about his early career stage if you google him. I also removed an excessively negative criticism which was clearly written by someone from an opposition local party, likely UKIP. The fact that a newly elected MP had such an extensive 'controversies' section was in itself out of kilter with the norm for nearly all other MPs from the 2015 or 2010 intake, so it is good this page has been pruned back for balance.

Barnstar

Thanks for giving out this consolation barnstar to alert me to the fact that pretty much all past revisions of the article got oversighted. Deryck C. 05:55, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Reference errors on 24 July

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Lutfur Rahman (politician) page, your edit caused a broken reference name (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:20, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Template:Infobox UK school

I'm just letting you know that I have reverted the edits you made. This temlate is used on hundreds of pages and major changes require discussion and consensus at [[WT:WPSCH]. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:21, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Matthew Goodwin

Re comment on my talk page I am NOT the academic Matthew Goodwin as you appear to have assummed. Though I suppose you only have my word for that. I no longer use this Wikipedia account having used a "right to vanish" a couple of years ago Vanished user sojweiorj34i4f (talk) 18:46, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

• It appears they still stalk their old talk page. If I had to gander as to what would be inappropriate to write about I would think W. Phillips Shivley would be self serving, but who ever knows for sure in this vast land of aliases. 02:28, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

AFD

Hi Urquhartnite, Please read WP:AFDHOWTO on nominating articles, If you're stuck I could nominate on your behalf ?, Cheers, –Davey2010^Talk 22:22, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Please infuture nominate the articles and then add them everywhere, So many people just add the {{Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/X}} to the logs without creating the actual AFD which is what I assumed you done there, Had you created the AFD first it means I wouldn't of wasted time reverting you and now reverting myself!, Thanks –Davey2010^Talk 22:27, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

speedy nomination

On what basic did you label Silvia Wadhwa as spam or coi, or make the accusations you did about the editor. Even on the coi noticeboard, we would have worded this as possibly might be, or something of the sort. , unless there is firm evidence. The editor you accused is a very experienced editor, who has been here from 2007 working on a variety of subjects. In all this time, not a single article they created has ever been deleted. If you do have actual evidence, please indicate this to me, and I will tell you how to proceed properly. I'm an experienced administrator here, and I advise you of our rules about WP:OUTING--it applies everywhere. DGG ( talk ) 06:08, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Camila Batmanghelidjh

It's on my list of articles to review, when I get a chance. Having looked at her father, I can tell you that she was definitely an Iranian citizen in the 70s. I'm not sure what happens to the citizenship of those that left around the time of the revolution; I'd assume that the state didn't bother revoking citizenship, but who knows. It's probably acceptable to assume that she's still Iranian, just as we assume David Cameron is still British, but I can see an argument that we'd need proof for it.

She wasn't born a Belgian, but it's possible that she was granted Belgium nationality after the fall of the Shah. We'd need a decent source for that though.

The OR I was referring to was the statement that a part of the family had emigrated to the UK; we've no sources to support this and, in fact, it's perfectly normal to school in the UK whilst retaining one's original nationality. So, in the absence of a source that says she emigrated, she merely attended school there. Bromley86 (talk) 20:38, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Better use of your time

Rather than harass me, do you not think your time would be better spent engaging in the conversation at Talk:Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh#Lead, where the matter that seems to concern you is the topic of discussion? Please don't comment at my talk page or send me passive-aggressive "thanks" for removing your un-constructive posts any more. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 03:56, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm going to ask you one more time: Please don't comment at my talk page again. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 05:02, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Royal Households of the United Kingdom

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve with this RFC, but it is poorly worded and contains some obviously inflammatory comments. It appears to be more of a rant than anything. I would suggest removing it and discussing any issues you have at the talk page first. If no one responds, be WP:Bold. I don't think you are going to get anywhere with the RFC. I hope you are not being WP:Pointy as that is likely to turn other editors off helping you. AIRcorn (talk) 00:06, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

The Urban Academy

Can we be clear, the Urban Academy was not an 'unlawful' or illegally operating school - before closure it was operating as an independent school that was officially registered with the Department for Education. I wont change your edits as I don't think the article about The Urban Academy was notable enough to be standalone from the Kids Company article, but its important that you cite a valid reason for your edits.

United Kingdom European Union membership referendum

Please stop moving this article; if you want it moved, please use the WP:RM process. Thanks, Number 57 12:26, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

And please stop moving other articles to remove the comma. We have a naming guideline WP:NC-GAL#Elections and referendums that sets out how articles should be named. Thanks, Number 57 12:31, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 14:33, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

You are indefinitely blocked from editing

You are blocked because of your behaviour toward other editors. Specifically, you have made two highly inappropriate, sexist comments directed at women editors with whom you had no prior contact, here and particularly here where you are actively trying to get a date with a woman editor with whom you have never interacted. Wikipedia is not Tinder. In addition to targeting women editors, your behaviour toward other editors as documented at this report, involving personal attacks and inappropriate comments directed at multiple editors in relation to several different articles, indicates that you're not able to appropriately interact in a manner that is conducive to consensus-based editing. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, click on "Edit" and then follow the instructions for unblocking provided in the edit window.

Harry of Wales listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Harry of Wales. Since you had some involvement with the Harry of Wales redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:11, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Category:Disabled Wikipedians

I don't care what your opinion is, but I thought you might like to know about Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 November 8:#Category:Disabled Wikipedians and perhaps explain why you chose to join this category. Hyacinth (talk) 07:40, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
