Cofton Hackett - EDIT SUMMARIES

While any constructive contributions to Wikipedia articles are most welcome, on 7 September 2009 you made around 40 (forty) consecutive edits to Cofton Hackett while only two carried any form of edit summary. This makes it impossible for any other editors to review your work and build upon them.--Kudpung (talk) 07:49, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Worcestershire meeting?

Worcestershire Project get-together
I'm in the UK on a rare trip to my home town in Worcestershire. If all or anyone from the project would like to meet up, please let me know. I'll be returning to Asia on 3 October.--Kudpung (talk) 09:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Malvern - GA nomination

Hi Leonig ! We now have a first review for GA. On the whole it doesn't look too bad. As you know, I am a local resident in absentia, and as a published author, a 'prose artist', but anything you can do to improve the language or address some of the more technical points as quickly as possible would be much appreciated. Any work on the new referencing system does not affect the overall quality and scope of the article for GA but you may be able to put put some of the wrong referencing things right and offer some suggestions on the other points made by the reviewer. It would be great for the Worcs project to have a GA of this envergure in its repertoire. See Talk:Malvern, Worcestershire#GA Review - and Happy New Year!--Kudpung (talk) 06:00, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Leonig Mig! An article within the scope of the WikiProject Worcestershire has been proposed for moving. Please see the discussion at Talk:Malvern Girls' College#Move proposal, and leave your comments there. Thanks.

Worcestershierre, Warwickshierre, and Everyshierre

Hello Leonig Mig! A non-British user seems to be attempting to suggest that the Brits are not pronouncing their own British place names correctly, and appears to believe that it is a policy of Wikipedia to instruct the Brits, through the use of the IPA, how British English should be pronounced. He/she also seems to be of the opinion that it is Wikipedia policy to regard British English by default as a rhotic language, which it is not. Some British Wikipedians are trying to avoid an edit conflict and have requested my support. I have added my comments to the debate the non-British user has has started in defence of his/her multiple, WP:BOLD? changes to IPA pronunciations of British place names. As a professional linguist I accord every version of English its own particular merits and my position here strictly concerns the way in which the IPA is interpreted and applied in the Wikipedia, and how the current policy may need to be changed through a truly representative consensus. If you would like to help resolve this issue, please see User talk:Kudpung#IPA, RP, etc. and User talk:Lfh#Warwickshire to get the background. Maybe you could then chime in with your views on the subject at Wikipedia talk:IPA for English#Rhoticity in place names. Thanks. --Kudpung (talk) 18:38, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

IPA in British place nanmes

I see that the American campaign against the British pronunciation of British place names, by British Wikipedeia authors and British citizens has been relaunched. I think this campaign is deceitful and goes against an admin's remit. I might not be so prepared to let things rest this time round, especially as the editors concerned are oblivious of the sensitivities they may be affronting, and even though I am one editor who abhors opening cans of worms. I may call an RfC and will look forward to your support.--Kudpung (talk) 11:40, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

yeah no probs Leonig Mig (talk) 09:17, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

UK places

Hi Leonig. I was particularly impressed with a comment you made some time back concerning the IPA pronuncition of English place names in this discussion. After months of building up evidence, there is probably going to be an RfC on this. Your comments would be most appreciated. Whichever way you vote or comment however, will of course depend entirely your own opinion. You can get some important background here, and I'll let you know when the RfC starts.--Kudpung (talk) 10:07, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

RE: No offence meant

Oh, I'm just exercising my right to express my opinion. When you say that 1) anyone voting delete there is a deletion-obsessed megalomaniac ruining the wiki for the rest of us and 2) that those people are not "real" content editors, you open yourself up to retorts. Either offence was meant, or you really don't read what you write. Ironholds (talk) 16:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Meaning is not determinate. There was interpretation at some point, and that involved your body's emotional subsystem. :P Leonig Mig (talk) 16:52, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Right, so when you accuse anyone who votes delete of ruining the wiki and say they're unable to be good content editors, otherwise they'd be away writing stuff (which you weren't, leading me to assume that you're also ruining the wiki) it's the interpretation that really matters. So if I say that the real enemy of Wikipedia isn't inclusionists or deletionists, but rather those idiots like you who use the flimsiest and least valid grounds possible to attempt to preserve any article they can, leading to the undermining of well-intentioned organisations such as the ARS, all in the name of what you hemp-and-sandal wearing, patchouli-smelling, weed-smoking hippie fucks consider "inclusionism".. that's not an offensive remark. It's merely your interpretation of it that creates an issue. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence (which may actually exclude you, thus rendering this point moot) could see that the remarks would be interpreted by anyone with an ounce of logic as offensive. If you grasped this and said it anyway, you indeed intended to be offensive. If you did not grasp this, I'm sure the doctors have a special jacket with extra long sleeves for you. Ironholds (talk) 17:02, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Think you need to get away from the computer chief. Leonig Mig (talk) 17:04, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer, but no; I'm in the middle of writing an article on historical legal figures nobody cares about. Ironholds (talk) 17:05, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

No you're not you're arguing on the internet. Oh what a tangled knot is man! Leonig Mig (talk) 17:06, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Candidate articles

I was just updating Harriett Baldwin's article and noticed the discussion. In future, put the information you would have put in a separate candidate article into an article about the specific election. Then, if and when the candidate wins, that information can be split out into its own article. That's what the US does and it works fairly well. You're certainly correct that it's absurd to not provide the public with information about all candidates. Flatterworld (talk) 14:39, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

WP:WORCS

Hi Leonig. In order to more accurately interpret Wikipedia policy, it has been suggested that we rename the Malvern, Worcestershire page. Please see the proposal at Talk:Malvern, Worcestershire#Suggested page move where you are welcome to voice your opinion. --Kudpung (talk) 14:36, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Evesham

Hi Leonig Mig. A Worcestershire Project page has now been taken on by a reviewer for Good Article after a very long wait. Several points need addressing, but the page has not been rejected as an immediate fail. If you have time, please see Talk:Evesham, and if you can address any of the points listed, I'm sure that between us we can get it through to GA. Thanks. --Kudpung (talk) 21:14, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Government Digital Service, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kingsway (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.

Jimmy Savile

The order and structure of the opening paragraphs of the article is under active discussion on the article talk page. Please engage in the discussion there, rather than simply engaging in what appears to be increasingly an edit war. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:44, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Peter McKelvie

Hello Leonig Mig,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Peter McKelvie for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Gilded Snail (talk) 04:33, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

• Is there a question? There are no sources in the article about McKelvie - there are only sources about events he was involved it. The normal practice is to redirect to those events, because there's no biographical information to write a biography with. An AfD (or local discussion) will decide to redirect it a thousand times out of a thousand; no sense in wasting your time (or any else's) on something that won't persist. WilyD 09:45, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

I would prefer a local discussion as I believe deleting this article about a man in favour of redirecting to an article about a police investigation or a scandal makes no sense. Your comment that there are no sources is completely absurd. Leonig Mig (talk) 09:57, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Also link to the policy doc containing the 'normal practice'. Leonig Mig (talk) 10:00, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Err, you already linked WP:BLP1E to me. Look, it's not skin off my nose; but it doesn't make sense to me for you to put effort into something that has no chance of being retained. There's nothing in the article about Peter McKelvie - you don't know when or where he was born, where he went to school, how many (if any) kids he has, where he lives, what kind of biscuits he likes - all you know is the role he's played in a notable event. There's also no point in arguing with me; the outcome is too inevitable in this case (unless new sources about McKelvie, rather than his role in events, are found) for me to be able to change the outcome either. WilyD 10:18, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Don't understand why you are more interested in what biscuits he likes rather than 5 very significant allegations he has made. My hope is in time we we know about the biscuits, it is a stub article. Leonig Mig (talk) 10:57, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Uh, it's an example to show that you basically nothing about McKelvie as a person. All you know is his role in events. So we write an article about the events that we know something about, rather than the person we know nothing about. WilyD 11:14, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

I do understand. See the talk page for the article where I'm having the exact same conversation with another editor. Hopefully you can see some of the subtleties in this case. Leonig Mig (talk) 17:49, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Victor-Rothschild.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Victor-Rothschild.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Victor Rothschild in his rooms at Trinity College, Cambridge.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Victor Rothschild in his rooms at Trinity College, Cambridge.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:43, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Worcestershire - one of England's oldest and still existing (with some minor boundary changes) ceremonial and political shires, famous for its nearly 1000 year old cathedral, the River Severn, the AONB of the Malvern Hills, some of the oldest schools in the country, England's fastest growing university, apples, pears, cider and cricket, and of course its world famous sauce. The Wikiproject is now in need of some attention. Created 12 years ago, this project amassed a huge resource for editors working on all kinds of articles and categories related in some way or another to the county. Kudpung is more or less retired from Wikipedia getting on for 2 years ago and it would be good if a group of editors could get it up to date and continue to maintain it.
