Headline text

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. You don't need to add your name to your edits. It is recorded automatically in the page history. Here's some tips:

You can introduce yourself on the new users page.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
Remember to use the show preview button before you save a page.
If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela . 06:26, Mar 29, 2004 (UTC)

Please do not sign articles. Your contributions are always tagged with your username, and other editors can contribute too, so you are not the sole author of the page. However, your contributions look great, and keep contributing :) Dysprosia 10:21, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

On the other hand, you can and should sign comments on talk pages. (I noticed your comment at Talk:Revenge of the Cybermen.) The best way to do that is by typing four tildes (~~~~), like I'm about to: —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 16:21, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Morning Star

Don't know when/if you'll get this, if the date of your latest contributions is to go by. But still....

I've just noticed your edit to Middle-market. I've been wondering about this for a while.

My guess that whoever wrote it really did mean the Morning Star. But indeed, the information on Wikipedia seems inconsistent. Middle-market used to list the Morning Star as an example, List of newspapers in the United Kingdom lists it among the downmarket tabloids, and The Morning Star itself states "it is entirely free of the celebrity gossip and other trivia that feature in all the other national dailies", suggesting that it should fall into the category of serious papers.

Do you read the paper? Indeed, have you seen it recently, and if so, where? What is your own judgement of its market level (if that's the right term), as opposed to political stance? -- Smjg 11:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your claim

""Homey" has made sneering anti-socialist, the-free-market-is-the-answer-to-everything remarks"

What in the world are you talking about?Homey 15:57, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can't be bothered to try and find it - I think it was in one of the talk pages for the various articles on groups to the right of the Tory party which you are so curiously interested in. Apologies if it was CJCurrie and I've got confused. RobinCarmody

I can assure you I've never made any such comment and I'd be surprised if CJCurrie ever did. I'd appreciate it if you removed that personal attack from the AFD (personal attacks on the nominator don't help your case anyway and are also a violation of wikipedia policy). In future, don't smear someone based on what you "think" you remember from somewhere, particularly if you "can't be bothered to try to find it". Homey 22:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be quite surprised if I made that remark as well, here or elsewhere. CJCurrie 23:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GLF

Not born in Australia and that should therefore be removed. Yes, he lived on a family Station after university for four and a half years (he has never denied that) but he was born at home, in Lanarkshire. His brother, though, and his mother, were both born abroad. The family were constantly on the move and seem to be buried on four separate continents from what I have read. Both sides of his families had interests in Australia and California, and South Africa. I recall him saying that his grandparents met at a colliery owners ball. 81.131.96.167 16:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reopened Stuart Millson AfD

In the light of an apparent serious externally-directed abuse of process regarding the original Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stuart Millson discussion, I have reopened the AfD discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stuart Millson 2 with the proviso that anon IPs/new accounts will be excluded as probable sock- or meatpuppets. You voted last time around, so you may wish to take a look at the new vote. -- ChrisO 23:39, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JW

Hello Robin. You're very kind to check my Wikipedia entry. Thank you.

May I let you know that, although you, with good intent, extended my contribution to "Ads Infinitum" to the year 2000, it was actually my friend and colleage Jacob Yapp who helped to continue the series, for I was involved in family issues in Australia at the time? I was only involved directly with the 1997 series. However, it's nice to be thought about!

yours truly, J --John Warburton 22:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, John. Good to speak again after all this time (I remember when you were still John Hayward-Warburton, when I first joined MHP-chat). I've revised your entry accordingly. Robin Carmody 23:36, 9 August 2006 (BST)

Smith

Murdoch orders The Sunday Times to attack Victor Lewis-Smith? You are kidding, aren't you?! (See you are a comedy writer - you're not another intimate of Smith hassled into tarting up his image on this page, by any chance?) If you read the original (very long and well-argued) article in the Sunday Times, you will see that the writer defends the BBC against Smith's (among other things) illegality. So your defence fails (your argument depends on the Murdoch press attacking the BBC, not some comic, which the article doesn't do). So we've cleaned this up.

And if you *are* Smith-compliant, do tip us a couple of stories for the book: VLSmithBook@yahoo.co.uk —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.114.111.10 (talk) 14:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I don't know who you are and I don't think you know who I am either. I am not a comedy writer and I have never had any contact or connection whatsoever with VLS. In fact, I think he utterly undermines his condemnations of the importance of social class in this country with his attacks on those who transgress such unwritten rules. However, I consider him to be a talented and intelligent man, but even I dislike him I would disapprove of attempts such as yours to use a Wikipedia article as a platform for a personal vendetta. That is against all Wikipedia rules and is wholly unencyclopaedic.

As one who had to suffer Paul Donovan's writings for far too long, I can say from bitter experience that he is a sad reactionary nostalgic who, if put in charge of the BBC, would render it so laughably outmoded and fossilised that it would soon become irrelevant and lose most of its audience. Beyond that, he writes for a newspaper crossowned with the media organisation which has effectively forced the BBC's hand on these issues, so his comments are riddled with hypocrisy and humbug in a way they would not be if he wrote for the Sunday Telegraph or the Mail on Sunday. Do you, for example, agree with his attacks on Tim Westwood in 1999 and 2000, which were basically saying "kill, kill, kill the nigger-lover" in more polite language? Do you agree with his neo-McCarthyite paranoia about nests of "Guardianistas" under the bed at the BBC? Do you think it's a mortal sin for a Jamaican-born DJ to host a Radio 1 show whose title spells "Night" as "Nite", as he apparently does?

I can only assume that the "book" you are planning will be a character assassination built on lies and false rumours. I think I'll give this sort of tawdry exploitation a miss. I mean, don't you have any golden retrievers to kick? RobinCarmody, 5 December 2006, 18:03 GMT

Robin:

1) We owe you an apology. You are not a comedy writer: for how we stupidly arrived at this false conclusion see the web page www.offthetelly.co.uk/authorindex.htm (which we looked at far too swiftly).

2) However you also owe us an apology: we know our business and our biography of Mr Smith is certainly not as you describe. Apart from anything else "a character assassination built on lies and false rumours" will not pass the (serious) libel lawyers of the (serious) publishers we are involved with (Ian Hislop knows the name of the firm but we're trying to keep all hush hush for the mo). It is a fun book and if he was not so paranoid, we are sure Smith would enjoy the humour. We have other jobs so can't yet concentrate on this full-time but the material coming in is a gas.

3) As to Paul Donovan of the Sunday Times, you may have a point in general. But as to the specific article cited on the page, so far you seem to be the only person with the view you have added to this site. We'll try and rework things to mutual satisfaction. User:VLSmithBook

Interesting that VLS apparently went to a boarding school. Confirms my view that the journalists with the most intense hatred of such institutions are, indeed, those who actually went there (c.f. a great many NME / Melody Maker writers). RobinCarmody, 27 December 2006, 22:52 GMT

Jacques Arnold

I see you've contributed to the article above. This was (semi)-vandalized recently by User:Jacques Arnold. I've reverted back to your version, but have merged in some of the new information that the above user entered. It does however need some wikifying MNewnham 22:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right, done that. Also reinstated my comment about the Springbok Club which I'm sure was there before. RobinCarmody 19:00, 6 December 2006 (GMT)

An imposter?

Just a warning that an anonymous user made a post with your signature at [1]. Do you know anything about this? -SpuriousQ 02:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No idea. I do seem to make enemies fairly easily, but I suspect it's just some troll. RobinCarmody 03:05, 22 December 2006 (GMT)

Trolling bullshit deleted. RobinCarmody 23:40, 30 December 2006 (GMT)

Seems you are popular with some Obie Trice and Justin Timberlake fans. I've reverted some vandalism to your user page here: [2]. -SpuriousQ 05:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Check the history of your user page: you're getting a bunch of vandalism. You might want to request protection. -SpuriousQ 22:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My values and my ideals seem to have got up a lot of people's noses, and I have made a few reasonable guesses as to who the vandal/s might be, based particularly on the replacement of my livejournal link with a link to the Poptimists community (of which I have been a harsh critic, inspired by ideals which my critics consider "elitist" and "reactionary").

How do I request protection? (Sorry for not knowing that.) RobinCarmody 00:44, 15 January 2007 (GMT)

Come now, don't be coy. Why do you criticise the Poptimists?

I really shouldn't be answering anonymous posters like this, and I'll probably regret it later, but I criticise them because they are enemies of the European cause in Britain and because they think it's 1999 forever. RobinCarmody 01:57, 16 January 2007 (GMT)

Try Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. I could request it for you, if you want. -SpuriousQ 00:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do. I think some people would take it more seriously if it comes from someone other than the user himself. RobinCarmody 01:49, 15 January 2007 (GMT)

Done. Your user page is s-protected so that only established users can edit it. --BigDT 02:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jacques Arnold

Hello again. I noticed that User:Jacques Arnold removed you comment about lecturing to the springbok club. obviously its something he might not want to appear in the article, can it be externally verified? MNewnham 14:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ronnie Hilton

Derek R Bullamore 10:24, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right, it makes sense now. The song was never a US number one, that's why I changed it. RobinCarmody 23:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Drummond

I have reinserted a cut from one of your edits to the John Drummond article, which removed the edition of the Carpenter book I had used. By all means cite the page reference from the hardback edition of The Envy of the World as well, if you have access to it, but I would argue that anyone checking the source is more likely to use the Phoenix paperback.

Incidentally, I recently removed from the article on the Third Programme a comparison to BBC4, which seemed unsustainable. By all means change my decision if you consider it invalid. Cheers! Philip Cross 19:26, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. And I agree that the Third Programme and BBC Four are not directly comparable. BBC Four is a stimulating channel, but it is a product of the age of cultural relativism. It does not confine itself to high culture and it does not hold the absolute confidence in the superiority of what it does that the Third Programme held. RobinCarmody 20:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, next time instead of blanking the page i might Recommend that you either put the article up for speedy deletion, go through a AfD, or redirect the page. Thank you for letting me know your intentions. Tiptoety 04:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try and remember to do that next time I see such an entry. To be honest, it's never come up before because I've never previously seen an entry that was so blatantly fictional. RobinCarmody 05:05, 21 August 2007 (BST)

Attlee

On this edit of yours: Clearly something is very wrong here, what with Clem Attlee rising from the grave to write a blurb. I'm not sure that Bryant ever wrote a book titled The Elizabethan Experience but he did write one titled The Elizabethan Deliverance, which indeed doesn't seem to have been published while this Attlee was alive. Feel free to chime in at Talk:Arthur_Bryant#Attlee. -- Hoary (talk) 11:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies. I've changed the book title and changed the link to the then Earl Attlee (the second of three so far). RobinCarmody (talk) 16:33, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Radio Times

Robin, I am being taken to task for an edit I made to the article a few years ago. Do you have any citations to substantiate my recollection? Chheers and thanks. Philip Cross (talk) 19:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's an update on Philip's page which can be summed up as "the article from the Times was less than accurate", actually. However, it was most helpful that you were able to provide the Times article in the first place. Thank you. DS (talk) 13:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Border Television

Hi Robin

I notice you've edited the Border Television page, and whilst I'm sure you did it in good faith, your comment that you've restored reality is incorrect.

You are confusing Border Television with ITV Border. Much of the content I removed from the page was relevant to ITV Border and should be placed on a page about that entity. I worked for the original Border Television for nearly thiry years and am now its owner and managing director. I therefore have intimate knowledge of its history and am in the unique position of understanding what the company is currently doing.

I had suggested in one of my first edits that a new page be created for ITV Border so that material relevant to that company be placed there. This is something you may want to give consideration to. However, such information has no place on a page about Border Television.

If you'd like to discuss this I'd be happy to chat it through with you. If you go to the company website at www.border-television.co.uk you'll find a number to reach us on.

I'll look forward to hearing from you, but for the moment I have reverted the entry to the current, accurate representation of the history and present position of Border Television.

Best wishes,

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Mike Prince

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mike Prince 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 a person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{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. Killerdove 11:57, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Omni Flames. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Huntingdon Racecourse without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I have restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

We noticed though that when you edited William Lucas (actor), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Run for Your Wife. 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.

I've removed the YouTube links you added, as it wasn't clear that they came from an official source. Ideally, if linking to YouTube content, the content should verifably have come from the original distributor or copyright holder.

I appreciate you added them in good faith, but try to be more cautious when adding links in the future.

Bros

Sorry, I had to undo some of your recent edits to the Bros page to undo a flood of vandalism from the same user using different IP addresses and accounts. If there is new information you added to the article after the recent vandalism commenced, could you please add it back? I had to undo the vandalism, as a page protection request was denied as there hadn't been enough recent evidence (reversions) of vandalism to warrant it. Hopefully there now will be.02:31, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

What I did was to remove erroneous chart positions for certain songs in certain countries which were not confirmed by the links given for them, and which had presumably been added by someone wanting to talk up their achievements beyond what they actually did. I'll go back to the page now. RobinCarmody (talk) 15:06, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've now removed certain bogus claims made for the success of their second album and bogus mainland European chart peaks for the singles from it, which seemed to me (along with some other instances of hyperbole) to be the main issue. RobinCarmody (talk) 15:14, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese site

Why are you still removing Portuguese charts? You are using http://portuguesecharts.com/, right? So why are you denying there's a singles chart hosted on the site when right there in the sidebar, it says top 100 singles? The site didn't used to have a singles chart; now it does. The links you've removed from both Havana (Camila Cabello song) and now Gucci Gang have the singles peak right there below the track listing (if they have one) on the song pages. It has a listing of weeks as bars with "45/2017" (or the applicable week) and the peak next to it. I don't understand what the problem is: click http://portuguesecharts.com/weekchart.asp?cat=s That's the chart right there, that you're claiming isn't on the site.

Anglosphere comment

Hello Robin. I was slighly bemused by your comment at the Cray Valley PM AfD about me accepting the "Anglosphere Only Movement". I've created at least a couple of thousand articles on things like elections, referendums, political parties and places in non-English speaking countries (including many on football in Israel). Not sure if you were referring to the previous debate on the Thai club, but I also !voted to keep in that AfD. I am aware that systematic bias is an issue on Wikipedia and have regularly commented on that during AfDs on topics such as this or this Cheers, Number 5 7 22:01, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Accusation of racism

You've been around long enough to know better than to make accusations like this [3]. Acroterion (talk) 16:26, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of bands and artists from Merseyside‎

Let me make the position clear. It is not about racism, "classic music", how famous someone is perceived to be, or the opinion of "the Mail reader in the Surrey street". It is about notability. The guidelines that Wikipedia operate under in this respect are well defined - although you are welcome to challenge that in the appropriate talk page. Tremz is not-notable - simple as that; and the list includes those that are notable, not those that might be/could be/should be.

Based on all that, your edit has been reverted, although I personally will not do so again, as I have better things to occupy my time.

As is mentioned above, accusing another Wikipedia editor of racism is a slippery slope - you might care to retract that ludicrous statement.

Transmitter sites

Thanks for your support on the various transmitter site article deletion nominations I've made lately. I'm trying to clean things up a bit - it feels like over the years, various users have added all the transmitter sites in their local area (the Scottish Borders, SW Wales, etc) to the encyclopedia as part of a little project, and there's no real rhyme nor reason why these have articles and other minor relays don't.

I wonder if in a hypothetical situation these sites didn't have names, and they were called (for instance) "Arqiva Mast 13044B", whether people would see them as warranting articles. Vodafone UK is notable, the Vodafone UK mast serving Hawick is not, even though the mobile mast probably serves more people more often than the legacy TV relay these days. But because the TV transmitter is rather grandly called the Hawick television relay station, it sounds more major than it is.

I'd even go as far as to suggest that in the absence of coverage other than "this site was built and exists", some of the "major" sites may not warrant articles, although I think that may cause some anoraks to pop their zits in frustration. For instance, why does The Wrekin transmitting station need an article rather than a couple of lines in The Wrekin? It's just another frequency list. As an example, Willis Tower has an article which includes a bit about the mast on the roof - the mast doesn't need its own article. WINS (AM) has a mention of its transmitter location in its article, but the transmitter doesn't warrant its own article. Broadcast infrastructure is not somehow special. Anyway, thanks for backing me up in the face of anoraky resistance. Flip Format (talk) 10:55, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Graham Goode (broadcaster)

The article Graham Goode (broadcaster) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
