peace (band)

peace (band) is under credible media coverage to the massachusetts musician artist group prior to the formation of a similar group from the UK. under wikipedia guidelines this page should under due process remain as the US based group from original origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Historicarticles (talk • contribs) 16:45, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

The article was created as the English band and we have no article for the American band. People keep trying to change this article to the American band but that should not be the way to proceed. If you wish you can create another article under a different dab probably Peace (US band). Keith D (talk) 14:47, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

It should probably be pointed out that this user has also been vandalising Eight (band). 92.8.27.47 (talk) 11:25, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I have already reverted their changes there with this edit. Keith D (talk) 11:32, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

The account is only used for making repeated nuisance edits, so why have they not been banned? None of their edits have been constructive and have all been reverted! 92.8.27.47 (talk) 13:22, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Restoring vandalism

Hi Keith. I'm sure you didn't intend to, but I thought that you'd want to know that on three occasions in February you restored defamatory, BLP-violating content on Julia Mulligan: [1] [2] [3]. The line "evading her duty to confront misconduct, rather than show honesty, integrity and leadership, and actually deal with the problem" seems, to me, to be a fairly clear attempt at POV-pushing against the subject, though I acknowledge that the surrounding text appeared, at a glance, to be legitimate. — PinkAmpers&^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 09:35, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. It just looked like vandalism as text appeared at first glance to be referenced and OK. The subsequent ones were probably just without looking as it was the same removal. Obviously I did not check in detail of the text. Looks like there some COI now as the subject appears to be editing the article. Keith D (talk) 10:57, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:River Welland/GA1

River Welland is undergoing a GAN. It is a decent article, and will meet GA criteria - though there are a few queries, and a little bit of work to be done on the lead, on the layout, and on incorporating a couple of lists into the article. The review has been put on hold for an initial seven days to allow the work to be done. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 23:22, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

This user helped promote River Welland to good article status.

Well done. Keep up the good work! SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 10:11, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. Sorry I was away when you reviewed it but looks like others have responded to the queries raised. Keith D (talk) 18:34, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Willoughton

Hi, could you keep an eye on Willoughton for a while please - it's getting heavily hit by a vandal and I don't want to fall foul of the 3 revert rule. It looks like a new "editor" might be a sock of a slightly less new "editor". Thanks. Acabashi (talk) 15:34, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Will do, though may be a little slow to spot as I have 2 weeks of changes to work through. Keith D (talk) 15:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Results by round

There is a long-standing consensus at WT:FOOTY that results-by-round tables should not be included due to the sketchy definition of a "round". Not all matches in a "round" are played on the same weekend, let alone the same day, due to postponements, etc. Therefore, the position a club is in after a particular "round" may not be a true reflection of where they would be had all teams played the same number of games. Furthermore, due to the ability to colour the collapsible footballbox template, there is no need to indicate the actual result per "round" in a table, as people can scroll up and down to view the different colours. By the way, that Hull City article is an absolute mess of empty tables. I suggest you comment a lot of it out because at the minute it is making the encyclopaedia look pretty unprofessional. – PeeJay 11:43, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Move review for Deadmaus

An editor has asked for a Move review of Deadmaus. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:09, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Disruption

Thanks for undo on Template:Warwick district. I've listed sock case Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ajuk. Will fill-out and remove myself. Widefox; talk 22:04, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Timestamp changes reverted by IP

Just noticed that in about three to six occasions, 86.44.247.122 (talk · contribs) has reverted your timestamp updates as "maligned" (on one occasion, even considered as vandalism). Penny any thoughts? hmssolent\^{You rang?} _{ship's log} 13:35, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

IP blocked by Mattythewhite BTW. hmssolent\^{You rang?} _{ship's log} 13:39, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

It is just 1 person who keeps IP hopping that insists on removing, giving an incorrect timestamp or mangling the timestamp by removing just the time element, on usually Irish football player articles, it has been discussed a few times on the WP:FOOTY project during last season. Because I tend to correct them on some of the articles on my watchlist it anoys said IP and they revert with various comments, some personal atacks. They went away for a time but have just restarted with the international matches that have just taken place. Without range blocking or protecting all of the articles that the IP is interested in I cannot see a way to resolve this. They know they are against consensus, but insist on continuing. You can see from the reverts of the last couple of days that they are just picking perfectly random edits of mine from football related articles for reversion for a game to see if they can annoy me into correcting their errors. Mattythewhite has reverted some of these random changes by the said IP. Keith D (talk) 18:07, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

This one HMSSolent. Sorry I havent been able to keep an up to date list (busy- which is good). Murry1975 (talk) 18:45, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Today's reverts are by 86.44.240.241 see comment on their talk page Keith D (talk) 13:22, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

This heading is an oxymoron if I ever heard one. I update players timestamps every week and then certain people come along and change them, even though they were correct to begin with. Adding the exact timeframe of your own edit is not mandatory or correct and it just confuses other users, who are confused about the last time John Doe footballer played his last match.

Of course Keith D only concentrates on Hull City footballers. He doesn't care about timestamps (or lack of) for the hundreds of other footballers, for all he goes on about the "project". I do a lot of editing for free, no reward, and this is the thanks I get. Immaturity like this....

You have just added a protection template for a footballer called Gary Dicker, because I removed the timestamp for International football. This footballer is 27 years old, has never played senior Interational football at any level and is no longer eligible for the U-21 National football team. The International timestamp is rendered redundant.

It is not my fault if some of the users on Wikipedia are overgrown children who refuse to accept when they are in the wrong and cancel or pointlessly amend other people's edits out of spite and malfeasance.

But I can be an overgrown child too.

Stainfield near Bourne

I've added this new one to Lincs. I'm not sure if the convention is 'nr.', 'nr' or 'near'. If I've made a mistake, please move, even if "Bourne" is wrong - I can't think of another way to distinguish between this and the other Linc's Stainfield. Also it needs an independent eye for assessment level for Lincs project on its Talk page. Also, I can't get my head around the Domesday Map site template. I can't find the OS link on the relevant DM web page to add, and mine for the info box goes 404 - would be glad for help on this within this article, and I will observe. Many thanks. Acabashi (talk) 21:00, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

I have made some tweaks, cannot think of better dab at the moment. Looks like you have fixed the OS link as it works, OK. Suggest you change the HAT on Stainfield to point to the new article and may be put one on the new article. The dab will need adding on List of United Kingdom locations: Sow-Stao. Keith D (talk) 23:19, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks - will do. Acabashi (talk) 00:22, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Deadmaus#Requested_move_3_.28to_.22Joel_Zimmerman.22.29. FYI, since you speedied the last RM, another RM has now started. Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 19:25, 18 June 2013 (UTC)Template:Z48

NHLE template

I asked for a refinement on this temp to remove the blue links to "National Heritage List for England" and "English Heritage" for when there are multiple cites to NHLE, to avoid excessive overlinking. This has been now done, thanks to PBS, with a new "fewer-links=x" parameter, as: {{NHLE |num = 1001520 |desc = Pearson Park |accessdate=21 June 2013| fewer-links=x}}. Hope this is useful.

Acabashi (talk) 19:50, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for that looks like it will be useful, especially on list articles where there are lots of occurrences. Will have to remember to use it! Keith D (talk) 23:29, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Fulstow

Advice please. In this article there is a picture of a village hall with two children openly featured. I can understand it might be reasonable to add pics with crowds at distance, such as with markets and football where people can't be readily identified, but here identification of individuals could be made. Pics of subjects of a BLP can be added, as can people images from times past, but this appears to me to be the equivalent in picture of either outing living people, or promoting non-notable people, in text. Are there any guidelines on the picturing of identifiable living individuals ? Thanks. Acabashi (talk) 03:16, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Probably Wikipedia:Image use policy#Privicy rights is where to look. I would see if another image of the village hall is available and replace it. Keith D (talk) 10:51, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Image Privacy rights doesn't look to cover my specific concern over this picture, which may present a policy area that needs adjusting. I shall bring this up on the Image use policy talk page. Many thanks. Acabashi (talk) 12:21, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Deric Longden

Hi, I reverted your edit as I'm not sure what you meant about seeing "no connection to Yorkshire" in the article - for the last 20-odd years of his life he lived in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire (which is actually spelled out in the article), and his last few autobiographical books described his and his wife's life there. I'd say that was a pretty clear connection to Yorkshire, actually. Mabalu (talk) 14:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry I missed that, obviously the search did not pick it up for some reason. Keith D (talk) 16:32, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Hampton School

I see that you have made a number of edits to the entry for Hampton School and wonder if you can help. The page does not seem to be displaying properly (at least on an iPad): it displays as a very narrow column on the left of the screen. I wondered if you might be able to correct this. Thanks 2011jps (talk) 18:36, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

I do not know exactly what the display looks like for you. But I have corrected a formatting problem at the end of the Rowing section that may be the cause of what you are seeing. Check again and see if that has fixed the problem for you. Keith D (talk) 18:46, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Beighton railway station

Hello Keith, thank you for giving Beighton the once-over. I've now completed what I was doing when guests arrived early, including the Cupit and Taylor ref page, but I'm afraid I can't help with Pixton's North Midland book publication date or page number, I don't have the book and simply honoured what the originator had put (or not put, in the case of page number.) The in-line 2013 date seems rather rum, as looking through the history, whoever cited the work must have been in 2011 or before, as it wasn't redrose earlier this year and wasn't me. Maybe the inline date is a) wrong or b) refers to a new edition. All the best, Dave DavidAHull (talk) 21:50, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Technical RM: 1 done?

Here you said "1 done", but the move didn't get done. Dicklyon (talk) 05:05, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting that. I moved WNBA Draft to WNBA draft and removed an entry from the move list, in the process of moving Hammarby IF Hockey (1921–2008) to Hammarby Hockey (1921–2008) a new entry was added to the list which I had not spotted and I removed it as done. Realising that the entry I should have removed was still there I had a quick look and though that the added entry was the one I had moved first I had not spotted the year at the front. I will move now. Keith D (talk) 10:29, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

By the way there is a problem with the WNBA draft and 1997 WNBA draft articles in that the entry on WikiData to get the interwiki links on the pages will not allow the entry to be changed to lower case for some reason. Keith D (talk) 10:37, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

The family rain

Hi. Could you please take a look at the article on the band the family rain, as someone keeps removing half the article with no explanation. Thanks
