Hello there. Welcome again to Wikipedia, and thanks for pointing me towards some interesting facts. I understand your valid point and have created Sporting Life (newspaper) page which I would like to welcome you to develop further now. At the same time, Sporting Life page would function as a disambiguation page where all the three possible reference points are mentioned. Hope this helps. Do let me know if you need further info/help. Cheers! --ΜιĿːtalk 12:35, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Use of {{stub}} is no longer recommended[edit]
Hello,
Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.
Thanks! -- Where 02:49, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Eric Morecambe[edit]
Hello, cheers for the corrections on the Eric Morecambe page. My typing leaves much to be desired. Still, no need for smart-alec comments. This is a group effprt don't you know?--Crestville 14:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's alright, so long as I know they're in jest. I didn't actually write that sentence, but from what I understand, he was never really called John. I just read the section on his birth in Morecambe and Wise by Graham McGann and, after saying "John Eric was born on...." he is never again reffered tro in the book as John. This would imply he was never called John by his parents. My Grandad, who only is four years younger, has a similar thing. His name is Joseph Derrek Hodgson, but from birth his parents used to called him Derrek (sic) and so sdo we. However, at school he was always known as Joe, because that's the name which appeared on the school records. That's how it would sometimes happen back then.
- What do you think of the article as a whole? I did a major re-write about a week ago and would be interested in an impartial opinion.
- On an unrelated note, are you new to wikipedia? I would be more than willing to help you get aquainted to the world if you wish. The more the merrier and all that bollocks!--Crestville 22:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- I never know that about fore-names. I always thought your christian name was supposed to go first (for example, all of my Grandad's post is adressed to Joseph) and then your middle name and confermation name (I'm of a catholic household). I suppose you'd have to be a bit more lenient with people since it is such a popular misconception.
- BTW, cheers for the offer but I now have access to me copy of Revolution. Cheers.--Crestville 16:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Anthony Hopkins[edit]
The reference to Anthony Hopkins' impression of Tommy Cooper is included in the Hopkins article, under "Acting style". Chris 42 00:00, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Someone like, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at Talk:Someone like. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. NickelShoe (Talk) 02:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sadly, this article was deleted over Christmas, so I didn't get the chance to contribute to the debate. At least one of those on the 'delete' side seemed to have missed the point entirely. Grant 10:03, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
First "competitive" game at new Wembley[edit]
The articles stating the FA Trophy final was the first competitive game at the New Wembley were correct, as the England under 21 v Italy under 21 game was a friendly, not a "competitive game". This terminology has been used for several years to exclude international friendlies, c.f. Sven's record in "competitive games" was always contrasted with his record in "friendlies". - fchd 07:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- But if you use language in a restricted sense, this should be explained. Grant 09:59, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
WP:MOSBIO: People known by a middle name[edit]
I have just re-opened discussion on this issue, at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (biographies)#Revisiting_people_normally_known_by_their_middle_name. I am notifying you since you made a related change to WP:MOSBIO (see this edit). There was later an apparently inconclusive discussion on the same topic in January 2007.
Your thoughts would be welcome. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure about downcasing Earth, Sun and Moon. Their respective pages all use uppercase. --Alastair Rae (talk) 12:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- My fav MoS say's "Earth's moon" but I can't get too worked up about it. --Alastair Rae (talk) 13:18, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Cold Feet[edit]
Why did you leave this note on Talk:Pilot (Cold Feet)? Were you genuinely confused or just letting out snark? Bradley0110 (talk) 15:24, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
- So it's the whole "Pilot" naming convention you're on about? I think WP:TV had a discussion about that some months ago and it came to nothing. As for the name of that article, I just created it at "Pilot (Cold Feet)" for consistency with other pilot articles; I wouldn't have a problem with it being moved to "Cold Feet (pilot)" or even "Cold Feet (Comedy Premiere)". As for it and other episodes actually being titled "Pilot", that's a bit of a grey area. I've always seen "Pilot" as a description rather than a title, but others disagree. That's why some Pilot articles begin "'Pilot' is the pilot of episode of..." and others "The pilot episode of... aired on..." A small number of pilot episodes are titled "Pilot" though, which adds to the confusion. Bradley0110 (talk) 11:56, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Tarzan aka John Clayton 3rd[edit]
According to Philip José Farmer's 'Tarzan Alive' on page 8 it says that his father was John Clayton II, so he is 3rd. Also http://weirdscifi.ratiosemper.com/tarzan/tarzan.html--RicHard-59 (talk) 21:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Panel game[edit]
Hello! I saw your editing of the panel game article and would really appreciate it if you could briefly pop into a discussion on the Hollywood Squares article on whether it is a panel game (there are cited descriptions if you're unfamiliar with the show). Here's the discussion. Thank you so much! 76.105.176.44 (talk) 22:43, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
October 2013[edit]
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Gina Yashere may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
