Bump... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atban3000 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Where can I access ofsted entries? Atban.3000 write me 19:51, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

That appears to be the webpage software, it would not display the colon if it was/is there. However as the 'about us' page has also indicated, I think it can stay the same. Atban.3000 write me 20:01, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

So am I :) - On a related note, would you say then that the Wintringham artical should be set the same way?... Atban.3000 write me 20:07, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

It appears to have a redirect in place on that page, so I'm putting in a Requested Move on the WP:RM page. Atban.3000 write me 20:22, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Your lead reversion at Jill Marsden (EastEnders)

Paul MacDermott requested a copyedit for this article in November on the GOCE requests page (we have a backlog). Although it's a GA, the prose needs a fair amount of work; the plot summaries, in particular, are overly detailed and give the article a crufty appearance. My incremental changes in the lead were reverted by you using Twinkle with the summary, "Reverted to revision 530700223 by ZippyGirl: Present tense is used for fiction (TW))".

I know that present tense is used for fiction (although this can indicate an in-universe style, which is discouraged); however, none of my edits changed present tense to past. WP:MASSRV states, "...revert a good faith edit only after careful consideration". Reverting is primarily intended to deal with vandalism. All the best, Miniapolis 23:25, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Secondary schools in Sandwell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hill Top (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Greek museums

Yes, I have the list in my watchlist and keep monitoring your edits. You are doing a great job and I am collecting the articles you are adding in a user page to give them a round of checks. I already see a few candidates for AfD and several for notability tags. Thank you. Hoverfish Talk 21:05, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Huguenot

This is regarding the section Exodus/England on the Wikipedia page, Huguenot. My interest and area of expertise is lace, lacemaking and its history, and on 16 September 2012 I made a change to the Huguenot page, replacing the part-sentence "Huguenots greatly contributed to the development of lace-making in Bedfordshire" by "It is often asserted that the Huguenots contributed to the development of lace-making in this area, but there is no historical evidence to support this."
If I understand the page history correctly, you reverted this, with the explanation, "There are references you just ignore them!." As someone new to Wikipedia editing at the time, I did not know how to respond, but I now gather that I should attempt to resolve this dispute by starting a discussion on your talk page. This I am now doing.

Could you please be specific about the "references" you say that I am ignoring. I can see no numbered references associated with the sentence I replaced. Are they somewhere else on the page? If there is sound historical evidence to support this then I am clearly wrong and the page should include these references. However I think we have an obligation to discuss the validity of any references to ensure that they are not just repetition of unsupported statements from books such as "The Romance of the Lace Pillow" (Thomas Wright). --Socialambulator (talk) 20:17, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reference you posted on my talk page, but I think that the pertinent material in this does not represent local historical research from the museum, but is drawn entirely from the Thomas Wright book I mentioned. I'm not sure that you saw my proposal to unify this discussion, but I have gone ahead and transferred it to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Huguenot. I explain there my reasons for thinking that book is the source, and suggest that if this is agreed we can discuss it and the 19th century books which are the source for most later statements on this subject. --Socialambulator (talk) 10:50, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hilfiger High School

Well spotted. What drew your attention to it? It annoys me when hoaxes linger for years, while people tidy the article up and correct the spelling, but never think to check whether there is any substance to it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:33, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for creation of over 1200 articles, mostly related to Oregon. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Horologium submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

Bleaney (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been quietly fixing all sorts of articles relating to schools; he has de-orphaned articles, added wikilinks where appropriate, created redirects, added categories, and created an array of useful templates. And that's just one of the several areas in which he is active; he's also been busy creating and expanding articles in Bedfordshire, creating articles on historic buildings worldwide, and started almost 60 articles on British prisons. He has amassed over 45,000 edits, and outside of a couple of barnstars in 2010 and 2011, doesn't seem to be getting much in the way of recognition for all of his work.
