Ethan towler

Hi, I noticed the redirect you created at Ethan towler, it seems very unlikely to be a useful redirect, and I was wondering what the justification for it is. Thanks, Monty₈₄₅ 20:03, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

An obscure religion in my local area believes a local boy conveniently named Ethan Towler to be God. there is currently no article on this and in my local area Ethan Towler has become a slang term/colloquialism for God. hence I thought it appropriate to have the redirect. Eopsid (talk) 20:09, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, while someone else may come along and object to it has being too obscure,(and seek deletion) I'll take your word for it and leave it alone. Monty₈₄₅ 20:13, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Fishermead

You reinstated the text about the murder in Fishermead. But you haven't shown why it is notable. The articles describing the many places in London where street murders have taken place don't bother to mention it. The fact that local papers mention it does not make it notable. Have any nationals taken it up? (ignoring two or three column centimetre 'fillers'? Why did they think that it was remarkable? Because unless you can show notability, it is just noise that should be left out. Please see also WP:RECENT. Please improve this text or revert it yourself. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:56, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

The murders are the first thing which appear on google if you search for fishermead. Also it is interesting and remarkable because its a double murder of teenagers from immigrant communities on a council estate in Milton keynes. If the pair had been lets say white and a couple of years younger it would have garnered alot more attention in the national media but it didnt. Saying its unremarkable is basically Missing white woman syndrome. Also it is mentioned on the sites of national papers eg the guardian, the Sun and the mirror.

Regarding changes on the Roger the Dodger article

Hello there! Thank you for your message. I was in fact on the verge of adding a small section regarding Roger's family however, time restraints unfortunatly got in the way. The reason for the initial removal, however, was in fact due to my opinion on turning it into a character article rather than just an article on the strip as he has featured in several of the spin-offs as a sole character. Feel free to re-add it along the lines of the new character format. Bottomlivefan95 (talk) 13:25, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Middlesborough > Middlesbrough

Hi. If you're interested in topics like List of urban areas in the United Kingdom then I hope it's useful, not annoying, if I respectfully point out that Middlesbrough is spelt thus, and does not have an "o" between the "b" and "r". (ermmm ... unless it's in Kentucky). Hope this helps, best wishes, DBaK (talk) 18:31, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Thankyou, I would probably not have noticed that unless you pointed it out. Eopsid (talk) 18:39, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

You're v v welcome. Thank you for the nice reply. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 09:03, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

How do you add an infobox?

Tell me which buttons to click and what to type in to create an infobox, please! 109.145.30.197 (talk) 18:42, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

You have to use these brackets { two of them then {{ the name of the infobox your gonna use. They usually have stuff in them eg name = blabla well you put a | before those so |name = blabla most infoboxes have a few of these things. If you do it wrong clicking show preview and the infobox will show you which ones dont have stuff in.

{{{strip_name}}}
Comic strip character(s) from The Beano
{{{image}}}
Publication information
First appearance	Issue {{{start_issue}}} ({{{start_date}}})
Also appeared in	The Beano Annual
Current status	{{{format}}}

this infobox is missing all the stuff which are inbetween the three of these kind of brackets { so |artist = would be one of the things you would have to put in the infobox. end the infobox with another two brackets }} Eopsid (talk) 19:00, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
