George Thomson (Seoirse Mac Tomáis)

Hi. I just checked if there was an existing article on George Thomson - I thought there might be - and I found one at George Thomson (philosopher). I put a merge tag on the article you created just now. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just thinking: Actually I think that the merged article shoud work from your article, if you know what I mean. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 01:01, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Couple of points: I've put the merge tag on the second article. These tags can be replaced by "mergefrom" and "mergeto", if we can decide the destination title. Captain, you've been busy - I salute you! I'll just comment that merges are a bit, what, technical. I'll undertake to do it. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, all sorted out now. I've used the middle name, which is better than either of those two titles. 21:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charles Matthews (talk • contribs)

Actually, I was going to come back to this tonight, as I wasn't sure which name to go for; I'm afraid my brain wasn't up to complicated tasks last night. (:O)) FlowerpotmaN·(t) 22:19, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sound. No bother lads (didn't know how to do redirects anyway). Captain Fearnought (talk) 21:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Robin Flower

Hi Charles, I just changed 'Robin Flower' to Robin Flower (Bláithín) so I hope you have no objection to it. Great to see other people aware of him anyway. Captain Fearnought (talk) 23:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I don't understand this move. Names inside parentheses are meant for disambiguation but there is no other article by the name of Robin Flower so disambiguation is unnecessary. —Wknight94 (talk) 12:59, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've now handled this in a more conventional way. Namely, I've put Bláithín in the article text, created a redirect, and moved the page back. Thanks for bringing this up. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-==Speedy deletion of [[:Took the soup]]==
-[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Took the soup]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A1|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#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content.
-If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Took the soup|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[ Talk:Took the soup|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that a copy be emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-nocontext-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:KurtRaschke|KurtRaschke]] ([[User talk:KurtRaschke|talk]]) 17:46, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
-==AfD nomination of Took the soup==
