Philippe Kieffer was the commanding officer of 1er Bataillon de Fusiliers Marins Commandos which were No. 1 and No. 8 Troops of No. 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando. Both theses troops under Kieffer's command were assigned to No. 4 Commando of the 1st Special Service Brigade for the Normandy Landings. They landed on Sword beach 6 June 1944 D-Day and were tasked with the capture of the Casino at Ouistreham (as depicted in the movie The Longest Day (film) if you have seen that.

Omaha beach is definitely wrong. Hope this helps. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 12:26, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for this Jim. I've come to the highly irritating conclusion that my Daily Torygraph source ^[1] is completely wrong and it should have been Colleville-Montgomery not Colleville-sur-mer so I've reverted my edits. It's a damn good job the commandos didn't make that sort of mistake.

Hi Georgejdorner. I followed my usual approach of adding detail from military obituaries only to find this heap. It's potentially a very interesting article which has been hijacked. I'll put more constructive comments on its talk page. Regards JRPG (talk) 17:20, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

It is just a small point but I don't think an English encyclopaedia should be using the feminine gender when referring to inanimate objects. It is largely a matter of personal preference so I think we need a ruling through a wider discussion to ensure consistency throughout Wikipedia. To get some support I searched for precedents. I found a discussion from 2004 in Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Archive (ships as "she") which seemed to reach no conclusion, and there is also a statement in Gender-specific pronoun, though this may just be one person's opinion. This latter entry refers to The Chicago Manual of Style. This is a paid web-site so I took this lead no further. I then looked at other style guides. The BBC and The Economist are silent on the subject. However The The Guardian's style guide under the heading 'ships' is against the feminine gender (see []). However in fairness I should point out that The Times style (see []) is in favour of the feminine gender. Whether newspapers and encyclopaedias should have similar styles is debatable, but I think a standard should be defined in Wikipedia's Style Guide as well. Are you happy if a discussion point is posted there to get a clearer ruling? JMcC (talk) 12:47, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Absolutely. As you say its hardly the most important point but consistency is important.

I'm not aware of any warship which isn't referred to as 'she' in Wikipedia. German battleship Bismarck, HMS Hood (51), HMS_Montagu_(1901), HMS Invincible (1907).

Similarly MS Estonia.

Regards JRPG (talk) 20:31, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

The MoS talk page pointed out that the standard is defined in Wikiproject:Ships. You can use either it or she but you should not change gender in an article once a gender has been defined by the originator. ie you were right to revert my edit. JMcC (talk) 20:49, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Just to say thanks for your kind comments at Wikipedia:Editor review/Cordless Larry‎. Hopefully together we've managed to improve the The Freedom Association article somewhat from rather inauspicious beginnings. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:35, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Larry. I'm not noted for flattery but we ended up with a much better referenced and more informative article and you did the difficult work ..so thanks to you.

A later report from the BEA, released on 29 July 2011, indicated that the pilots had not been trained to fly the aircraft "in manual mode or to promptly recognize and respond to a speed-sensor malfunction at high altitude" nor was this a standard training requirement at the time of the accident.

Text before this indicates quotation from Flight safety foundation official giving the impression that the crew was specifically not instructed in flying at this altitude. The passage originally had just mention of FSF and has an article on this entity though a 'trust' type non profit, still being in endeavour to train pilots, the mention of lack of training may be in conflict with organization's self interest. The extension of what they do was added by me as a part copy verbatim from Wikipedia page on FSF Flight Safety Foundation so a conflict can at least be recognized. I believe those pilots did not need specific training; specific training can be helpful; all pilots should be able to handle such situation given time which was short and weather inclement.

I know, you also felt, on deletion of my input, that there is still something lacking and have tried to rectify as per your last input on that page around the above paragraph. All this, ironically, stems from address by the BEA in third report about lack of training, which I believe is judgmental in the least. You must have seen my input on discussion page.

I feel the section needs more work to neutralize implications of lack of training which ultimately will not hold water. Thanks.

Hi Patelurology2. Thanks for a very courteous and rational explanation of your problems with my post and please don't feel insulted that I amended what you wrote. We're both trying to make a better article -and one which won't further upset relatives. The key area of disagreement as I see it is whether Flight Safety Foundation is wp:NPOV. Could I suggest you repost on Talk:Air France Flight 447 as this keeps all article related discussions together and everyone can see it? I will do what I can to ensure we get agreement and of course will accept the majority verdict.

Great to have you joining our bevy of Otters; a very rare but important wiki fauna. For Haldane I could only find this pic on flicker. It has a no-derivative licencse so its not allowed on Commons. You could upload it here under fair use. Thats if you dont mind the risk of it being attacked by the hordes of deletionists who seem to be patrolling new uploads, looking for things to destroy. I recently uploaded a pic with the same license for the 2012 Olympic hunger summit, but it only took a day for them to put it up for deletion.

Haldane's brilliant and seems to have the best social conscience of the whole court. He's not likely to come into his own though untill the Eds are installed in their rightful places at 10 & 11. While there's still loads one could say about him, I'm not sure its adviseable to build up the article too much at this point. FeydHuxtable (talk) 17:05, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Feyd. My main objective in WP:BLPs is to provide a completely fair description of people including their right of reply and subsequent events as these often change the tone of the article. I edit policians of all parties and believe a good photo improves an article -and that the subject appreciates it. Probably a long shot but I'll see what I can do. If I can find more Telegraph, BBC, Guardian, Independent articles I won't hesitate to expand the article -and would appreciate your help. I really don't expect any edit from these sources to be reverted and I don't get involved in disputes. Regards JRPG (talk) 17:54, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi there JRPG! I have re-edited the Portillo article to remove the opinions of a supposed 'former lover' of Portillo.The citing of these opinions, and the naming of this person as a "former lover" of Portillo (whethe ror not in quotes), is clearly against WP:BLP, even if a third party has repeated the opinions and the alleged status of the person. WP:BLPSOURCES, WP:BLPREMOVE,and WP:BLPGOSSIP, amongst others, all refer to this. The only 'evidence' that this person was a lover of Portillo is the allegation of the person himself, and your source does not give any additional evidence. WP:BLP states clearly 'Biographies of living persons ("BLP"s) must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives'. Best regards, --Smerus (talk) 18:13, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Smerus. Whilst I don't think there was anything wrong with my post, I'm sure it can be improved. I'll get back to you in the next day or two & put a summary of your comments on the talk page. We're both experienced editors, familiar with WP:BLP and both want a better article. I really don't expect a major problem. Regards JRPG (talk) 23:19, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Great. It seems to me that the problem here is that the person cited (of who little or nothing seems to be known except that he is now deceased) is alleged to have made a statement (to whom and in what circumstances?). This statement has never been put to the test, or commented on by Portillo one way or the other. It is in fact a bit reminiscent of the McAlpine affair, where something someone is alleged to have said becomes 'common knowledge'. I don't see that, even if it were fully sourced, it in any way adds to information about Portillo or his career, and it is not therefore IMO germane to the article (in the way that, for exmaple, Tebbitt's statment is germane). There was a lot of faffle about this topic sometime ago on the article, which was removed from the record by an admistrator (not me) because of WP:BLP. I think there are therefore two issues:

• 1) is this statement verifiable, other than having been made by the person who orginially issued it?
• 2) even if it were, does it add anything worthwhile to the article?

My opinion, as you will gather, is no to both, and either would I think justify passing it by. There is btw another problem in that there is a quite different (living) Nigel Hart in WP. Best, --Smerus (talk) 11:14, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Smerus, and thanks for a courteous and clear reply, Artemus Jones in Hulton v Jones [1910] was a barrister and I'm relieved Hart isn't. For the record, I have no interest in people's sexual orientation and never initiate addition of such material -I contacted Oversight twice immediately following the Newsnight item. I edit controversial political articles and politicians of all parties, most commonly following wp:undue criticism of expenses and expect that the section will subsequently remain stable once the reasons are explained. I usually use wp:Suggested sources, include the right of reply and try to follow up with subsequent developments from other sources. In the case of Portillo, I was thrilled that an IP had actually provided a reference and I wanted to avoid immediate rewriting.

I do have first hand experience of working with Sunday Telegraph lawyers who checked very serious allegations I made against an individual. Andrew Roth who was very well respected would have been equally certain of his facts, would have had witnesses available, and would have been certain Portillo wouldn't sue. His MP profiles are used on a number of pages.

The item is relevant because what people belived (true or false) in the moral climate at the end of the 20th century impacted Portillo's chance of leadership, something that may seem strange 10 years hence. All I want to include:-

A few weeks after he had given this interview, the death of Alan Clark gave Portillo the opportunity to return to Parliament, despite Lord Tebbit accusing Portillo of lying about the extent of his sexual "deviance",^[1] and similar comments from an associate included in his Guardian profile.^[2]

Once that is done, I want to edit Bid for party leadership and retirement from politics

to remove the suggestion it was just right wing papers and include a summary of this from Ken Clarke. This should improve accuracy and avoid wp:undue. I'm happy alter the article along these lines and write an explanation on the talk page. Regards JRPG (talk) 18:18, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

That seems very fair to me. For the sake of clarity I would suggest that , intead of 'in his Guardian profile' (which also risks suggesting the profile was 'his', i.e. authorised by him), you write 'in a profile of Portillo in the Guardian newspaper'. In the meantime I have removed the repeated insertion of N Hart 'upfront' by the anonymous WP editor. Thanks for your work and thought on this.--Smerus (talk) 20:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Dear User:JRPG You explained your edit (16:09, 10 January 2013‎ ) about Richelieu 's speed, with «Remove 'Her speed was surpassed only by the fastest U.S. Navy battleships.' Faster than contemporary US and British ships yes, but Bismarck and Littorio seem at least similar speeds». May I not completely agree ? In the Siegfried Breyer's book, «Battleships and battle cruisers 1905–1970» (1973, London, Macdonald and Jane's, ISBN 0-356-04191-3) cited in the article bibliography, we can read the Richelieu 's speed was 30 knots (p.436), as Littorio(p.386), and Bismarck was credited with 29 knots (p.300). But in the same pages, the speed reached during trial runs of 32.0 knots is indicated for Richelieu (32.13 knots for Jean-Bart), 31.42 knots for Vittorio Veneto (and 31.29 for Littorio), 30.1 knots for Bismarck (and 30.8 knots for Tirpitz).Paul-Pierre Valli (talk) 13:44, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Salut Paul-Pierre. The problem is that sources disagree. According to Battleships and Carriers ISBN 1-84084-327-6 Bismarke was 29 knots, Richelieu 30 knots, Vittorio Veneto 32 knots. You could say that say that according to Breyer (citation needed) her trials speed was faster than her contempories Vittorio Veneto and Bismarck. As far as I'm aware only the significantly later and therefore not really comparable IOWA class ships were faster. Do you want to do this? JRPG (talk) 17:31, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Greetings, JRPG. I'm sorry you feel that way. The main point was that I considered what you had written to be inaccurate in the way you had written it. Therefore, by removing two things that did not seem to be supported by the sources you cited I thought I was improving it. I am still not entirely happy with the edit. The suggestion was made that she did not understand child protection because she was a teacher, not a social worker. My answer would be that I have never yet met a social worker with the least understanding of child protection issues (partly because social work in this country is a shambles) whereas teachers deal with it day in and day out. So actually, it would probably have helped a lot that she had no background in child protection in the medium term. The real problem appears to be that social services were trying to hide their failings from everyone, including their own bosses. If you wanted to say that she was handicapped in her management of social services by being an ex-headteacher, that would be fine. And incidentally, I have no regard for Sharon Shoesmith and I think she should have resigned over this. Her job was to force social services into behaving responsibly and professionally, which she signally failed to do. But everyone is entitled to the due process of law - except, apparently, those who have crossed Ed Balls (or any other senior politician). Hope that helps. I was not assuming bad faith - merely a slight overstatement from the sources you were using. (PS - not sure why it only had my URL rather than username before. Hope that's now corrected.)Hcc01 (talk) 08:29, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Uhm ..I'm forced to agree that what I wrote didn't accurately follow the sources -hence the changes prompted by your edits. If we've improved the article, it's worth a few ruffled feathers! FWIW I was also on the receiving end of a constitutional round of who governs Britain, Parliament -or the monarchy in the form of the courts. I was involved in Judicial reviews and appeals with Ros Altmann and had 2 meetings with pensions minister James Purnell who overturned the Parliamentary Ombudsman's decision. I like the concept of JR's but believe that Yes Minister is fundamentally correct and it's the department not the minister of the day who makes strategic decisions like this.

The section is really maximum length for an article on Ed Balls, if you can find a suggested source that says she was handicapped in her management of social services by being an ex-head teacher, we should include it. Regards JRPG (talk) 12:44, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Is this really vandalism? When a high-profile person edits their own BLP, it's important that we respond carefully. I'm sure the edit was inappropriate, but not all inappropriate edits are vandalism. bobrayner (talk) 12:49, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Firstly we must NOT assume Atkinson1962 is Bloom under any circumstances, editing is anonymous -see wp:outing. Secondly there is a proper procedure for people affected by alleged errors. Writing all over the article appears to be vandalism to me. JRPG (talk) 13:35, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

I imagine the discussion could run more smoothly if you were to read policies before citing them. The lede of WP:VANDALISM says:

Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful.

The first sentence of WP:OUTING says:

Posting another editor's personal information is harassment, unless that person had voluntarily posted his or her own information, or links to such information, on Wikipedia.

When a single-purpose account spends a year trying to whitewash the Godfrey Bloom article, and then repeatedly adds stuff like "PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SPURIOUS PLACE TO FIND 'FACTS' ABOUT ME, LOG IN TO MY WEBSITE", and they sign as "Godfrey Bloom MEP", it's perfectly reasonable to treat that editor as Godfrey Bloom. It's certainly not outing when I recognise that an editor has openly and repeatedly claimed to be Godfrey Bloom.

Did you provide this advice to the editor, or was it sufficient to give them a templated warning about an irrelevant policy that they didn't break? bobrayner (talk) 14:05, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Bob. I've recently had my knuckles rapped for assuming User talk:RevRMBWest belonged to a Mr RMB West -see User_talk:JRPG#Question_for_administrator. Had Bloom used GBloom as a username, of course I would have invited him to read the advice on the talkpage, but who is Atkinson and why doesn't his page say he is Bloom? I work largely on political pages & have no problems with people of any party who understand the basics before they start writing. The user could also have emailed me.

Hello

Thank you for your advice - I have and am still in the process of amending the pages in line with your suggestions. The information contained was inaccurate / out of date - hence the edits made, however I will ensure more thorough citing as advised. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EducationHoM (talk • contribs) 12:22, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

I made a mistake while attempting to correct some grammar issues in the paragraph above the one I accidentally deleted when my computer froze. I do not add descriptions for these edits because saying you changed something from "an" to "a" for example is not terribly relevant. However as I very rarely use Wikipedia to edit I am unsure how things work. I am also unsure of the relevance of the information in the paragraph. Ianpatton5 (talk) 15:18, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Ian, we all make mistakes ..or where I live get power cuts. 'Minor changes' ..getting the grammar right is important even if they don't change the meaning. I tick the 'this is a minor edit' box & use copy/edit as a summary then everyone knows what's happening. This is important as we have a lot of people doing 'test edits' on a live page just to see if it works!

Two more things, rather than edit the live page you may wish to write it up in your own sandbox & then copy/paste to to the article. You're given the option to create your own sandbox whenever you start editing a completely new article. The other suggestion is that you write a few words about yourself. Only regular editors do this & it adds to the feeling of trust. Hope that helps & I can encourage you to do some more. JRPG (talk) 20:04, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Could someone please advise on British Exploring Society?

Very sadly this organization made international headlines when a youth was killed in Norway in 2011. The organization was heavily criticized but found not guilty of criminal negligence. An WP:SPA, User talk:British Exploring has repeatedly deleted my edits claiming they are legally obliged to do so following the inquest verdict(!) and is now adding promotional material. Please see my comments on Talk:British Exploring Society. Thanks in advance. JRPG (talk) 13:00, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi JRPG, I saw your note that you plan to expand and balance the Eton article with material from a recent article in the Economist. I wanted to ask, does the Economist article mention Anthony Chenevix-Trench at all? I would guess not if it focuses on recent developments, but I'm always on the lookout for further sources even if they only say a few words.

With Chenevix-Trench available sources are a maddening mixture of glowing late 1960's BBC documentaries and equally glowing press reports of the same era, sensationalist tabloid and similar material of later eras taking the opposite view, and a more balanced and more detailed biography that unfortunately is somewhat self-published. Can't win! Thanks. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 16:15, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

I made the change to this page as what was there when I read it was factually incorrect and biased. Many of the media outlets amended the story as Karl did not respond to the tweet in question by Richard Davies (as the Telegraph article points out) but made a reply to another user much later in the day who had picked up on the debate. In truth this whole section is little more than a biased attempt to smear Mr M^cCarney and I as a life-long friend feel that this really has no place on Wikipedia and especially as you claim to be against any bias Millionblade (talk) 09:15, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Millionblade and thanks for your comments, FWIW I don't use twitter at all. I read articles carefully but had missed the point that the response was apparently aimed at a 3rd party.

@BrownHairedGirl: Greetings again BHG. The Daily Telegraph has cited a number of pages as having being been blanked raising "suspicion MPs or their political parties deliberately hid information from the public online to make candidates appear more electable to voters." It's one thing when an overenthusiastic supporter does it & quite another when it comes from Parliament. Grant_Shapps has also been doing the same thing & I'm neither amused nor impressed. What is the best way to get this issue raised with intent to stop it happening at the next election? FWIW, having seen problems with a number of pages in 2010, I would like to see an assumption of paid editing from Parliament and a ban on IP editing of political BLPs in an election year. Regards JRPG (talk) 18:06, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi JRPG, off the the top of my head, I can think of a few ways of approaching this:

1. Name and shame: Use news reports such as this to write an article on political abuse of Wikipedia, and note such abuses in the biographical articles. It would need to be solidly based in news reports and other reliable sources, but if such an article could be constructed it would would ensure that any such antics remain on the record.
2. Seek co-operation. The WMF (or its UK chapter) could ask the relevant political bodies )parties, Speaker etc) to support Wikipedia's principles and help try to stamp this out. That could include add a no-vanity-editing clause to IPSA's codes of conduct, which would have real teeth.
3. Monitor. Lots of neutral editors to watch the articles and stamp on any such games.

None of those is an exclusive option; any combination of some or all of the above would be good.

My favourite is #3, active NPOV editors monitoring the articles, because it's how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Sadly, a decline in the number of editors has happened as the number of articles has grown, so the ratio of articles to active editors is getting dangerously low. Unless that ratio improves, this problem will get worse, not just in Westminster politics but across most topics :( --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:38, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

@BrownHairedGirl: Thanks for that. I'm editing all pages referenced to highlight the behaviour of these people & the strong language used in the Telegraph. I'll wait to see what the response is. I'll wait a few days to see what develops but I may need advice on an address for contacting WMF. I'm quite used to writing to the Parliamentary Ombudsman.

Hello JPRG,

Your colleague, IgnorantArmies, has mistakenly formed the opinion that I have engaged in disruptive editing -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Glenn_Oliver#First_and_only_warning:_disruptive_editing

I would appreciate it if you would review that thread and the article to which it refers.

Many thanks, Glenn Glenn Oliver (talk) 16:13, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

@Glenn Oliver: Glenn, FWIW Peter Bone the article seems as contentious as Peter Bone the MP & I don't know why. Your edit had the old 2010 majority but I haven't seen any evidence of anything other than positive contributions from either you or IgnorantArmies hence my surprise at the activity on 27th July. I've been away but Keith D also patrols the page & will have formed his own opinion. We want a better article and WP:AGF should apply. Regards JRPG (talk) 18:01, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

JPRG,

I appreciate your response.

I also don't know why those apparent disruptive edits took place; my guess would be some sort of software bug, but it's not clear why it occurs only on that page.

Hi (Odirjmm If this is your first article its a difficult choice because Wikipedia is used as a source of medical advice in the US, hence strict guidelines on sources. Basically the Mail is a tabloid, they're not noted for scientific accuracy and we're asked to avoid them. According to WP:Suggested_sources#Current_news one should "generally avoid British tabloids such as the Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Mirror and The Sun. "According to WP:BLPSOURCES, Material should not be added to an article when the only sourcing is tabloid journalism. When material is both verifiable and noteworthy, it will have appeared in more reliable sources.

Medical articles have a higher source requirement still, e.g. the Lancet or BMJ. I've asked on the talk page if anyone objects to a one liner about Lavigne. If no one does, I'd prefer you add it -without offering Avril's possibly spurious descriptions of the disease! Regard JRPG (talk) 22:38, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

i apologise. for clarity: sir isaac is our treasure i didn't really mean to attack *you* it was more directed towards khalili. i felt khalili deserved it, as the entire situation embodied the very dangers i feared when i first came across his attempts on this subject (undermining sir isaac to oversell his hero al hazen). if you ask me, khalili's nonsense has no place in a highly cited publication like Nature (but as we know, thanks to Pubpeer or the STAP scandal, that Nature is part of the problem).

sir isaac newton is a commonwealth treasure. it can be argued his work was not only inspiring, influential and enlightening to all of Her Majesty's subjects, but a central part of justifying the vast riches we had accrued (at the time, and now).

anyways i just wanted to apologise to you because i wanted you to know i didn't intend to attack anyone, but express my frustration at the entire situation. i will protect our national treasures where necessary, and i guess i hurt some feelings (which again, i'm sorry for)

now that it's resolved i doubt there will be problems. cheers.96.52.168.137 (talk) 23:13, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi JRPG. Apologies that I meant to reply to your comments a couple of months ago. I got sidetracked by some other things a couple of months ago and then later forgot to actually reply back in December 2015. I found it interesting reading the Northampton Sekhemka statue article and the background details from the references to the article as well. Living in Surrey and not locally in Northamptonshire, I didn't know much of the background surrounding the controversy of Northampton Museum and Art Gallery selling the statue and then having its accreditation removed by the Arts Council England.

Normally a quick refill of the references can be done in just a minute or so. It is a quick process. But because I found the article and the references interesting to read, I decided to spend more time on it by doing a more complete tidy up of the references than what a quick refill can achieve.

I like to help with the tidying up of references, so it's no problem at all if there are any other articles in the future you would like me to do a quick refill on. I'd be happy to help and there's no need to feel any guilt at all regarding asking me for assistance with the Northampton Sekhemka statue article, as I liked reading about it and therefore spending the extra time on it.

JRPG - we have reverted the changes made to Baroness Joanna Shields Wikipedia page (which are in no way missleading) for the following reasons. 1. The Times article erroneously included a reference to Shields but this was corrected and it no longer references Joanna Shields or any involvement on her part. 2. This story and allegation is not related to Shields who left the company in 2012. The story is about accounts filed in November 2015 for the 2014 year for which she has no part as she left the company in 2012. 3. In Shields role she was developing products and building operations and team for Facebook not tax policies. She was never a registered director of the company at companies house. Her remit did not include tax policy so this is completely innacurate. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06331310/filing-history 4. Showing this, CLEARLY information is misleading and inaccurate HENCE WHY IT HAS BEEN REVERTED.

A tag has been placed on Women in Football 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

JRPG, this article was speedily deleted because it did not meet the criteria for a Wikipedia article about an orginisation: apart from one mention in The Guardian, there was no other significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Yes, I have read the organisation's website; but until the organisation itself gets significant media coverage, it won't have a Wikipedia article. Please feel free to ask me any questions about this, or about anything else Wikipedia related. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 11:32, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Friendly greetings Shirt58 and NottNott. I admit I was astonished at the speed with which this article disappeared. I was still peacefully justifying its existence/visiting the page when it all vanished Paul Daniels style! wp:NORUSH clearly didn't apply. Nicky Morgan -the only other article I started which was similarly threatened was reprieved for a week by which time its significance was obvious.

Egghead06 had added a red link on Eva Carneiro and I hoped by notifying him that I'd started it he would be able to contribute.

Without invoking wp:CRYSTAL I expect the article to be significantly expanded following the expected appointment of a new Chelsea manager who is expected to deal with her mistreatment. This is much more a political and legal article than a football one.

Here are 4 WP:RS & a few others. -Note I wouldn't regard the FA as a reliable source even they could spell 'survey'

• I glanced through it and didn't really notice anything missing in the article...the Irish Times article also mentioned that the director of the company was José Manuel García Osuna, who was also later a majority shareholder of Castellón, and I'm guessing you took it out as it wasn't really necessary to include, so I think it should be ok as it is! I'm guessing you're a Leicester City F.C. fan in that case? If so, good luck, I would really like to see the club win the title, they've had such an incredible season! Best, Messirulez (talk) 23:09, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Firstly thanks for looking at it. I originally removed material which I thought could potentially fall foul of the fierce UK libel laws but was also concerned not to sanitize any tax avoidance or worse and José Manuel García Osunawas removed under wp:BLPNAMES. However you have confirmed I have no need to worry. I am a indeed Leicester City supporter and had expected a good season after the brilliant way they avoided relegation. However no one expected such results under Claudio. I guess everyone had a point to prove! JRPG (talk) 17:57, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello there, I have looked at your recent advice following a recent edit I did, and I have now used a stronger source for my information on a new edit in this section. It makes sense now why it was changed and I am very thankful to you for pointing this out to me. Hopefully what I've got done now is ok, I just feel this is very relevant information that is worth noting in this section of the Leicester City page. I am so sorry if this has caused any inconvenience for you, I was only trying to help improve this wiki page through my own knowledge which I really wanted to share. Thank you very much for your understanding. I'm a fellow Leicester City fan myself! Up the Foxes. Feel free to take a look at my new edit. AlexMlcfc (talk) 21:24, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Alex, I think the Economist article you added was brilliant & I had intended to thank you. I suspect business text books will be changed contrasting Chelsea's motivation last season and this with Leicester. Every Leicester player had a point to prove. Don't remember too much about Forest other than it was Brian Clough and was a real achievement by a top manager. I do seem to remember a quite recent German national team doing very well with 2nd division quality players who trained together every week. Many sources seem to think Leicester's achievements this year are unique so someone may remove the reference to Forest. As someone living in Leicester I may be biased! Regards JRPG (talk) 21:14, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, again. Sorry, I seemed to have removed the Econmist article as I got confused, I thought you wanted that article changed, but never mind, my fault entirely. If you or another user wants to remove my edit about the Forest link, then that's absolutely fine. Perhaps Blackburn or Ipswich's achievements would be better linked? Just a thought. I've lived in Leicester all my life, I remember the league one days etc. Amazing to see how far we've come. All the best and thanks again for your understanding.

Your post on the Llandaff Cathedral talk page. I tried searching at the link you gave, but couldn't find anything about the storm. Thought there might be something in the old Welsh newspapers collection, but they don't start until 100 years after the storm.

Many of the sources used in the article are from Google Books and HathiTrust, both of which don't allow full viewing of many books outside of the US because of possible copyright issues. It seems to me that they could permit viewing but not copying outside of the US because there's just so much material of historic nature on both sites from non-US countries.

Not sure if you can access this 1719 account of the cathedral:

• A Survey of the Cathedral-Church of Landaff: Browne Willis, 1719, R. Gosling.

His recap of the storm is on page 2. This is what Willis wrote about it:

"This is a handsome Tower (Jasper Tower), all but the Battlements at Top, which were elegant enough, and entire, until the great Storm November 27, 1703, which threw down two of the Corner-Pinnacles and a good Part of the Battlements; the Wind, being Southerly, threw the Stones into the Church-yard. This Tower, which is ascended by 140 Free-stone steps, is in Heighth, from the lower-Moulding at Top to the Bottom, 29 Yards and a Half; the Battlements are 8 Foot deep; the Square at Top is 21 Foot and a Half North and South, and 22 Foot east and West; and at Bottom, on the West Side (where there are three handsome Windows one over another) it is 29 Foot long."

Other later accounts seem to be either quoting or referring to what Willis wrote, regarding how the storm damaged the cathedral. We hope (talk) 14:09, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Greetings We hope and thanks for the work which you've already put into this article. I was a student in Cardiff many years ago and have a Rhondda coalmining ancestry. I lived in Whitchurch and admired the cathedral. I had expected that the records office might have details & drawings as I generally avoid Google books on WW2 topics due to copyright questions. Given the date of these articles, I don't think there's a problem though I would add a comment about the source. Feel free to add it ..or I will in a day or two.

Hi JRPG,

I have been editing this page to try and be more neutral and then the other editor with a vested interest in attacking the person has replaced all my edits with very biased language. Furthermore the information included far surpasses any other similar page - because it was first put there by a malicious editor. The information included is excessive and irrelevant.

Please can you assist me in making the page neutral and non-biased, with all information that is actually relevant to a back-bench politician, and I will cease to make any further edits as I believe you to be a non-biased editor.

Firstly, I'm very pleased you responded -except for Ukip pages, I've never had a serious argument with anyone who uses the talk page. If necessary, I can also ask for an impartial view but the rules allow for addition of material from a wp:Reliable source and rarely allow it to be removed unless it can be shown to be wrong.

Now that further content from the page has been deleted by another editor, which was factual and most of which was appropriately sourced, the article is seriously biased and has been edited maliciously initially by a source known to have a motive against the subject.

Hi JRPG. Just a note to thank you for helping improve Romeo and Juliet, but also fair warning that the bit in question will probably get removed next time someone (possibly me) makes a cleanup sweep over the article. On the Shakespeare articles there is just so much material, over such a long period of time, and so much high-quality scholarship, that modern events like these just simply do not measure up in the vast majority of cases (there are, of course, exceptions). While I know some other editors would remove it immediately (since it's a FA), I'm of the general opinion that it's no big deal to let interesting bits like this sit for a while, provided they are well written and well sourced, as was the case here, of course. Longer term I wouldn't be able to justify keeping it; I just don't think there's any urgent need to remove it. In any case, I just wanted to thank you, and give an explanation, so you don't feel your contribution was unappreciated when it is, most likely, removed somewhere down the line. --Xover (talk) 14:28, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Xover -I don't suppose either of us will lose too much sleep on this! My original comment was almost an invitation to remove because of the structure but on reflection its in the wrong article.

Hello,

You added a dubious label to an article I follow very closely.

What part of the statement do you find dubious ? The normal range for testicular volume is normally quoted in radiography papers as being between 15 and 25 ml (or cubic centimetres) in most articles with an average of about 20 ml, depending on what paper you read. I wrote 30ml as the upper range as that is the upper value that was quoted in the article I was reading at the time. There is always going to be a variation in the volumes stated, depending of whether the measurement was done by ultrasound or Prader orchidometer.

I can change it from 30 to 25 ml.

Testicular volumes of 3ml and less are commonly found in adult patients with Kallmann syndrome, it is a key feature of the syndrome. All the medical papers I have cited in the article would list 3 or 4ml as being the cut off value for testicular volume.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Neilsmith38 (talk • contribs) 08:05, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

@Neilsmith38: Hi Neil & thanks for a speedy response. I accept I made a mistake -probably because I expect a volume in ml and overlooked the cm superscript. FWIW I think it might be slightly better to use ml as its an SI unit. If you have a one liner about systematic measurement variations that might also be helpful to patients. I'll self revert shortly.

Hi JRPG! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over six months.

In order to declutter the Feedback Request Service list, and to produce a greater chance of active users being randomly selected to receive invitations to contribute, you've been unsubscribed, along with all other users who have made no edits in six months.

You do not need to do anything about this - if you are happy to not receive Feedback Request Service messages, thank you very much for your contributions in the past, and this will be the last you hear from the service. If, however, you would like to resubscribe yourself, you can follow the below instructions to do so:

1. Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
2. Decide which categories are of interest to you, under the RfC and/or GA headings.
3. Paste {{Frs user|JRPG|limit}} underneath the relevant heading(s), where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
4. Publish the page.

If you've just come back after a wikibreak and are seeing this message, welcome back! You can follow the above instructions to re-activate your subscription. Likewise, if this is an alternate account, please consider subscribing your main account in much the same way.

Note that if you had a rename and left your old name subscribed to the FRS, you may be receiving this message on your new username's talk page still. If so, make sure your new account name is subscribed to the FRS, using the same procedure mentioned above.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on the Feedback Request Service bot's operator's talk page. Thank you! Message delivered to you with love by Yapperbot :) | Is this wrong? Contact my bot operator. | Sent at 18:00, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
