''I just reverted your last edit of [[Thames Gateway]] and I feel that it is only fair that I explain my reasoning more fully. While I understand your feelings against this project, to use the phrasing that you did is not really appropriate in an encyclopaedia as it states your point of view too much''. |

:reply: ([[User:Faedra|Faedra]] 11:28, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)) It is not an opinion that the present government has failed to locate weopons of mass destruction in Iraq, it is a fact. This comparison is relivent because the overwhealming evidence presented by the consultation process against an Airport at Cliffe also shows the government to be in error of judgement. The relitivity between the two illustrates the fact that government policy is flawed, and this must have a baring on the multi million pound investment scheme proposed for North Kent... |
|||
''If looked objectively at the question of WMDs in iraq, it is not related to this issue in any way except that you disagree with the decision made by the government in both counts''. |
|||
:This is not so, I was supportive of the policy of liberating Iraq from Saddam, but misled by the British government by their flawed reasoning. I do not wish to see such deception ruin North Kent. |
|||
''Likewise the bit about "a total disregard for public opinion" implies that all public opinion is against it - it isn't''. |
|||
: Such members of the public would do well to stay at home. |
|||
''Sorry for having to revert, your contributions to the page (may) have been invaluable, but I could see no way of NPOVing it''. |

I do not dispute the fact that the government has not found wmds, I disputed the relevence to the current issue. The governement did not state anything as fact only to be disproved after the event. In this case the govenment ''consulted'' (ie asked opinions) and then, upon hearing the opinions decided against that possisble course of action. Policy was not to build an airpoirt, but to investigate the possibility which they did successfully. Regarding your comment about "Such members of the public would do well to stay at home" I am afraid I don't quite understand what you mean? I am such a person; My home is in the Thames Gateway area; the area I live in has seen a number of benefits associated with the scheme. What do you mean that I should "stay at home"? |

In case it may seem like I am picking on you, I should say that, normally, the first thing I do when I log on is to look at the list of new articles and pick out any that I think might need work or that I think I may be able to add to. The reason I picked up on the "Lord Kirkcudbright" ones is that there are a lot of people here who are interested in the peerage, and consequently standards have been set up for articles on the subject of noble titles and their holders. If you haven't already looked at these, you could consult [[User:Lord Emsworth]] on the points you are unsure about -- I haven't made a study of it myself. [[User:Deb|Deb]] 12:39, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC) |

Just wanted to let you know that, instead of deleting these pages, I left them as redirects to the new pages. In case you don't know how to do this, you do it by replacing the content of the page with <nowiki>"#REDIRECT [[Name of new page]]"</nowiki>. Thanks.

==Swanscombe== |

On my talk page you asked what 'my problem' is with the original [[Swanscombe]] content. I really don't have a problem with it, except that I could see a certain number of things that needed editorial attention including spelling, fact checking, wikifying, redundant content, content that seemed out of scope for the article, copyediting etc. I think it could still use a bit more work. You wrote a fine article but the usual editing is certainly in order. If there's anything in particular you would like me to explain please let me know. Best regards. --[[User:LeeHunter|LeeHunter]] 14:18, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC) |

:Whoa, calm down please. I haven't participated at all in the Swanscombe debacle, although I've cursorily read your complaint on the Village Pump. I was just trying to be nice. I just tried to be helpful, but if you want to ignore my advice, that's fine. This isn't some arcane Wikipedian behavioural thingy, though — you're actually lucky the majority of Wikipedians are nice. Quite a few places on the internet are far less tolerant of typing in all upper case. Anyway, no hard feelings, and I wish you well.

Hey, sorry about that, Faedra. I took a look at that page and I'm not entirely sure why I tagged it as an inclusion dispute - it seems perfectly encyclopedic to me. Really it needs cleanup. Hopefully there are no hard feelings. :) [[User:Andrevan|Andre]] 16:42, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC) |

One note, though - you mentioned ''It is intersting to note that his family name reocours in the context of shipbuilding in almost every suceeding generation of his family right up until 1930, however, this information is not granted as public domain, at least not by me.'' Information isn't copyrighted - images are the medium with this difficulty. So please go ahead and add any and all pertinent information about this to the article. :) [[User:Andrevan|Andre]] 16:44, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC) |

== minor edits??? == |

| ⚫ | |||
im not complaining as such, as the edits tend to be ok, nessisary and of good qulity. HOWEVER deleting/adding/re-wording large chunks of text are NOT minor edits. just a thought. [[User:Tooto|tooto]] 09:39, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC) |
|||
oh, personaly i think having your proffile sat to say "Mark all edits minor by default" is an extreemly bad idea, espesialy if you arnt one for doing small spell checking/copy editing |
|||
:: ok, minor edits is in Prefrances -> editing, and is one of the options |
