Server-side rendered snapshot of this editor's Wikipedia talk page discussions.

Hi, Camboxer, and welcome ↗ to Wikipedia! From the quality of your contributions, I'd guess you've probably been here awhile - if not, I hope you choose to stay ↗. I'd particularly like to thank you for your contributions to the article on Peter Handford ↗; I was really hoping somebody would pick it up and make a real article of it, and now - thanks to you - it's on its way. Thanks!

I haven't looked at this page recently, but it's now a quality piece of work—congratulations. Please check my recent edit there: I'm not familiar with the <nowiki>{{PERSONDATA}}</nowiki> template and I hope I haven't broken anything. Regards. --Old Moonraker (talk) 18:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs


30px ↗ Hello Camboxer! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot ↗ alerting you that '''1''' of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person ↗. The biographies of living persons ↗ policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability ↗, all biographies should be based on reliable sources ↗. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}} ↗'' article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :2011 in archaeology ↗

A tag has been placed on :2011 in archaeology ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub ↗ for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable ↗ subjects and should provide references to reliable sources ↗ that verify ↗ their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{tlc|hang on}} to '''the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion ↗''' (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on '''the talk page ↗''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators ↗ to request that the administrator userfy ↗ the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-nocontext-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> →<span class="ad-sig" style="border:3px solid goldenrod;">♠<span style="cursor:crosshair; color:darkseagreen; font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">Gƒoley</span>↔<u><span style="color:maroon; font-family:Papyrus;">Four</span></u>♣</span>← 19:32, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Years in England


Spiritofstgeorge recently edited Template:England year nav ↗, removing the heading "Years in the Kingdom of England ↗ (927–1706)", adding redlinks to years past 1706, and going on to create new pages at 1707 in England ↗ and 1708 in England ↗. At this edit ↗ the links from 1706 in England ↗ to 1707 in Great Britain ↗ and 1708 in Great Britain ↗ were altered to point to the new pages instead. I have reverted the changes to the template and 1706 in England ↗ and I am proposing that these new "England" pages should be merged to 1707 in Great Britain ↗ and 1708 in Great Britain ↗, although so far as I can make out the content of both has simply been copied from those pages, so there may be nothing to merge. I am not sure where this is intended to lead and fear there could be an awful lot of disruption and duplication. Moonraker (talk) 23:54, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

From your history, I'm pretty sure you were acting in good faith here [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1967_in_science&diff=606148338&oldid=600943340] but unfortunately what you added is a partial hoax.

Deprecated parameters


Thanks for your edits; however, you are changing valid dates in citations to invalid ones by using {{para|month}}. That parameter has been deprecated, so where the citation shows {{para|date}}November 2012, that is correct. As an example, you changed the 1882 in the United Kingdom ↗ article from:
:: {{cite journal|first=Alan|last=McEwen|title=Death and Destruction: the collapse of Newlands Mill chimney|journal=Vintage Spirit|issue=124 |pages=60–3 |date=November 2012}} to:
:: {{cite journal|first=Alan|last=McEwen|title=Death and Destruction: the collapse of Newlands Mill chimney|journal=Vintage Spirit|issue=124|pages=60–3|month=November|year=2012}}
As you can see, your change resulted in an error being displayed. It also dumped the page into a cleanup category with about 23,000 other pages. (So you're not alone.) Just a friendly "heads-up" to avoid these errors in the future.

correct tense



Hello. I have noticed you have changed the tense from Simple Past to Simple Present in the article "1949". It was only one word ("was" → "is"), but that means you are among the ones who understand why we use Simple Present.

In the article "1962" to describe events editors use both tenses. And I have to admit that using both tenses does not look good to me. When I corrected events so they were described in the Simple Present Tense, my edits were reverted.
What do you think about that? Radosław Wiśniewski (talk) 11:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)Radosław Wiśniewski

Non-free images



Hi Camboxer. Just wanted to let you know that I've had to remove some images of book covers, etc. which you've been adding to various articles such as :1951 in literature ↗ because they were non-free images ↗ and thus should not be used as such per :WP:NFCCE ↗ and :WP:NFLISTS ↗. For reference, it's generally only considered acceptable for non-free cover art to be used in a stand-alone article about the work itself per :WP:NFC#cite note-2 ↗. Not every image found on Wikipedia is freely licensed ↗ and it's a good idea to check whether an image is non-free before adding it to any articles because each usage of non-free content ↗ must satisfy all ten non-free content criteria ↗ to comply with relevant Wikipedia policy. -- Marchjuly (talk) 15:04, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Voorspoed



You just revised the ''Voorspoed'' entry on List of shipwrecks in 1901 ↗. Unfortunately it is now self-contradictory (as is the Wrecksite source). 7 March was indeed the date of the grounding (''The Times'', London 8 March, on voyage Cardiff for Brazil with coal and machinery, though wrongly described as a schooner), so that cannot be the date of her later loss on another voyage. I have found that she was repaired at Falmouth, sold to Liverpool owners and renamed ''Titania''. It was then that she went missing, but have not yet found any date (it may not have been in 1901). I think that the ''Voorspoed'' entry should be deleted, but didn't want to just do that with limited explanation. Davidships (talk) 13:17, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
: Found it now. Didn't disappear at all. ''Titania'' was wrecked 16/11/1901 at Trepassey, Newfoundland (''Evening Telegram'', St John's Nfld, 18/11/1901). Definitely the right ship as tonnage and owner match. I'll move it and amend. Davidships (talk) 13:43, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Helping with 'YYYY in science'



Hi Camboxer. I recently discovered that the 'YYYY in science' series goes all the way back to 1500 ... and from the history you were instrumental in making that happen. These pages will be very useful to me personally, and I'd like to pay it forward by helping contribute to them. I have a few structural changes I'd like to suggest ... but want to reach consensus first. Where is the best place to have that discussion (I'm a novice at editing wiki pages, but willing to learn and contribute)? I was thinking Wikipedia:WikiProject_Years_in_science ↗ but that appears defunct (do you know why so? could we revive it?).

A few things I'd like to do:

Totally open to hearing feedback, reasons why the above isn't a good idea (or why it is a good idea), other areas where I can contribute to these pages, etc.

Metawade (talk) 01:15, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Betty Tebbs



You have added :Betty Tebbs ↗ to the "Notable people" section of :Bury ↗. She was not from Bury or, at least, not that one.

Holborn Viaduct power station ↗



Hi, the claim about the Holborn Viaduct power station here ↗ does not seem to be correct as written. "the world's first coal-fired public electricity generating station" would be the Brush arc lighting systems of 1878-1880[page 177 ↗http://www.edisontechcenter.org/generators.html#history ↗https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brush_central_power_station_dynamos_New_York_1881.jpg ↗, maybe even before that depending on how the Yablochkov lamps were powered. Edison was known for building the first electric power "utilities ↗" (selling incandescent based electric lighting for indoor domestic use - sold to the public... as in "individual customers") and I see claims Holborn Viaduct was the first Edison station in that format to come on-line.... that may be what the source is getting at.

Formatting of [year] in literature pages


For about a year, I have been adding a comment whenever I'm altering your formatting of entries with brackets (parentheses) in them, but you seem not to notice. Where the whole content of a pair of brackets is in italics, then the bracket signs should also be in italics. Where the content is mixed, the bracket signs can stay upright.

1934 in Radio


Hi. I've removed your addition "16 January – First BBC ↗ regional radio broadcast from Stoke-on-Trent ↗ in England (Paul Brittain playing the piano)" because (1) the Stoke-on-Trent station (6ST) was not on the air on that date (it operated separately only between 1924 and 1928; its wavelength then being used to relay the Manchester, later Northern Regional, Programme until May 1931) and (2) I can find no evidence of the pianist Paul Brittain broadcasting from any station on that date. -- Picapica (talk) 10:11, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

:I suggest that would be a mistake because the Gregorian calendar ↗ was established in 1582. Further, all edits by Special:Contributions/75.170.36.185 ↗ make the same mistake and ought to be rolled back. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:42, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (2nd request)



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing ↗ does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary ↗ at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking ↗ to the copied page, e.g., <code>copied content from <nowiki>page name ↗</nowiki>; see that page's history for attribution</code>. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-copying --> — Diannaa&nbsp;(talk) 18:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Year in literature


Year in Literature and Year in Fiction are two different things. Including fictional events in Year in Literature could lead to confusion, especially as Years in Literature already have a "Fiction" section. Please move the fictional events you re-inserted and create the relevant Year in Fiction article if you feel it's worth while. Deb (talk) 18:53, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
