[edit] Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Kerluke) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

[edit] MediaUK

A tag has been placed on MediaUK requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on 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 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. JASpencer (talk) 20:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas Andrews

Hello Pathfinder!. Thomas Andrews was British. I asked on "Reference Desk", and after debating we reach the conclusion that he was British. His father was a politician for the UK. I will not edit his article but if you consider what I'm writing, you will correct it. And please, be unbiased..... I have seen your 'Irish unification userbox'. A great kiss from an Israeli wikipedian! Ahmed987147 (talk) 03:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Perfect, don't worry, Irish - British - Israeli - Brazilian, he was a great shipbuilder and his nationality doesn't matter... Thanks for answer me and sorry, because I'm Israeli and I don't know very much about Irish-UK history. More kisses!! Ahmed987147 (talk) 17:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Boris start date

According to the law controlling the london assembly, the old mayor and the new mayor leave office on the same day. Please see the articles talk page. And please don't revert it again. I know it doesn't really matter, but...--Gordon (talk) 07:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

It's a tricky one, but according to the legislation and the bbc articles referenced on the talk page, he comes into power two days after the results were announced (which I believe makes it only just the 4th), the same days as Ken's last day in office, and he took over at 2400 BST. It's not that important, but it does seem to be the more correct answer...--Gordon (talk) 12:09, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the Barnstar, I appreciate it! Cosmic Latte (talk) 08:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

that 77.46.209.231 is pretty funny with all his peaceful correct neutrality and that apparently im a Nazi lol. Could you try and get him blocked for POV, vandalism and 3RR please, im not too sure how to do it Ijanderson977 (talk) 22:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Ive reported him to some admins, dont you revert again because you could get blocked for 3RR and i dont what that to happen, so let me know and i'll revert it for you, until that user is blocked ;) Ijanderson977 (talk) 23:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your RFA

I have just de-listed and closed your RFA per WP:SNOW. Don't take this harshly but you RFA did not have the slightest chance of success; based on your answers to the questions it is not even clear that you know what adminship even is. You are a good editor but you do not seem to have any experience in admin related areas. User:Paragon12321 left you some good advice at your RFA before I closed it: "Keep working at this for a few (at least 6) months, then check out Admin Coaching".[1] Also of interst to you might be Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship. Hope to see you back at RFA sometime in the future! -Icewedge (talk) 02:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Serb elections

I have informed an admin about it and requested that he change the page to semi protected, so that anonymous users cant edit it. That should work out good ;) Ijanderson977 (talk) 16:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anglo-Irish Reunification

The new style of the Reunification movements section of the Reunification article using tables & flags looks great!

Re: Your comment that Ireland was never British in anyway. This is simply not true. Ireland was British when it was part of the United Kingdom and part of Ireland as you know is still part of the UK to this day and looks like it will be remaining so. Ireland is also British in a geographic, cultural and historical sense.

Irish and British are not incompatiable with each other and one does not rule out the other, they can coexist just fine and the over 150,000 Catholic Unionists in Northern Ireland who consider themselves both Irish and British are testament to that.

Northern Ireland is Irish and the Irish nation of course spans the whole island. I want a united Ireland as much as you do. I just don't want it at the expense of the Union, the UK is a nation of nations and historically one of those has been Ireland. It's not that the Union was a bad idea its the implementation of the Union that has been such a shambles! It's taken this long just to get the Union to work reasonablly successfully in Northern Ireland.

While the rest of the island and nation remains outside of the UK hopefully further progress can be made in perfecting the Union between Northern Ireland and the British mainland for the day that the Republic rejoins. No one wants to force Ireland into this, we will wait until they are ready and it must be their freely chosen decision to do so.

The British Reunfication movement is admitedly a very small movement at present but we are a growing movement. People are starting to speak out about this exciting project for the 21st century! For too long now only the Irish Nationalist vision to an end to partition has been heard but there is an obtainable alternative. We want an end to ALL partion and division that exists in the British Isles and not just in Ireland. An end to the partition of the British nation that spans the length and breadth of these islands.

For our cherised Northern Ireland province to leave the United Kingdom and join the Republic would be deepening the division of our people, but the Republic rejoining the United Kingdom will end both the partition of Ireland and the British Isles. The Republic's withdrawl from the Union lead to Ireland no longer being united and only a new revised Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland can end it.

Ireland should be united, within the Union with its own devolved parliament similar to Scotland and hopefully one day in the not too distant future that visionary goal will at long last be achieved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.135.123.74 (talk) 15:56, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
