It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed content from Cover girl. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. --ArmadilloFromHell 03:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edits

I have reverted a significant number of your edits. I am sure they were made with the best intentions, however, please take the time to read the guidance notes above, they will give you some idea of the standard of contributions expected. Kind regards. Mrsteviec 08:45, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've reverted a couple of your edits in the last day or two - just wanted to say that I'm not picking on you, and I'd encourage you to keep trying to make additions. However, with established articles, consider whether what you're adding actually improves the article or if it's just adding words for the sake of it. Articles' talk pages are often good places to suggest or discuss changes prior to making them.

Cheers, Nmg20 09:26, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edits .. continued

I'm concerned that a lot of your edits are leading to more confusion in articles. Adding red links (links to non-existent articles) in a See Also section does not make the article better, it just leads to frustration especially for a user who does not realize the that the color red does not go anywhere. Linkifying common words does not in my opinion help - e.g. changing plain text Penge High Street to Penge High Street implies that there is a link that says something about that street in particular.

I know nothing about railway stations, but the changes you have been making look downright strange, and have been reverted by others. I have just reverted Tulse Hill railway station again, apart from anyhing else, you changed the Place to Norwood Road and that causes it to link to a disambiguation page. Not good. --ArmadilloFromHell 20:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I agree with User:ArmadilloFromHell - a large proportion of your changes deliberately break links which work already, worsen the grammar of pre-existing articles, and generally screw items up in minor but aggravating ways. Please read Wikipedia:Vandalism as a matter of urgency, and stop doing things which are basically sneaky vandalism. Some of what you do does look constructive - so please, start *thinking* about your edits and don't do ones for the sake of it. Thanks. Nmg20 02:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree. I am unsure if the errors stem from general ignorance of the subjects or from a desire to produce systemic vandalism; the effect is the same. Mrsteviec 17:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warnings

Ok, since you won't co-operate, you are now considered to be a vandal.

Hello

Hello, Alec - U.K., and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that recently there have been potentially unwanted edits made using this IP or account. Therefore, for the time being, your edits will be monitored closely to make sure that they are in accord with our policies and guidelines, and reverted if necessary. I just thought I should let you know. // Pilotguy (Have your say) 17:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Asthma

Reverted additions of multiple red-links, incorrect spelling and POV. Asthma is not a trate - there is no such article (and it would not be a trait either, there is no article asthma triggers. You may want to call it a disability and it certainly can be disabling, but http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Asthma/Asthma_WhatIs.html says Asthma (Az-muh) is a chronic disease that affects your airways. -- http://www.aafa.org/display.cfm?id=8&cont=5 Asthma is a disease of the lungs in which the airways become blocked or narrowed causing breathing difficulty.

Asthma medication

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Asthma medication, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. --ArmadilloFromHell 06:27, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In case you may feel that this is just one editor commenting on your behaviour, I would agree that your recent actions on Asthma medication, denial of asthma as a disease and arguments on Asthma talk page have not been constructive to the project. Just to let you know, Asthma medication has been proposed by another editor to be merged into Asthma, and a similar proposal now made for Allergic Asthma - discussion is on Talk:Asthma. Please remember Wikipedia is not a soapbox nor a Democracy, so its not "voting" as such that occurs but Consensus reaching. David Ruben ^Talk 04:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Above does, on re-reading, seem quite harsh. Look Alec, you clearly have knowledge on the topics (Asthma & Eczema) and editors with an interest in a topic should be helpful in ensuring well written articles; both with regard to the details, but also the quality of the encyclopaedic prose (the "English"). If you need help in reviewing what is quite a daunting array of poliies and guidelines, or some form of mentoring of how to approach wikipedia, then please ask (whether that be of myself, I'ld be quite happy, or some other editor you feel you can best talk with) :-) Yours David Ruben ^Talk 04:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

West Norwood Cemetery

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. The London Boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark were only created in 1965 and cover areas far larger than those of Southwark and Lambeth in 1837. It is also anachronistic to use "boroughs" as they were not boroughs at this time. Use of a London Assembly constituency is somewhat more absurd. MRSC • Talk 07:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tulse Hill

I have not made a single edit to that article. So what was that, a warning or a threat? MRSC • Talk 07:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He was right to alert me and other editors. It is wrong of you to suggest that Regan123 was trying to encourage an act of vandalism. MRSC • Talk 07:24, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"== Tulse Hill ==

Hi! Sorry to bother you, but I wondered if you wouldn't mind poping over to Tulse Hill where there is a danger of an edit war developing. I noticed you have been involed in Wikipedia:WikiProject London and have been active on other London pages. The dicussion is shown on Talk:Tulse Hill and I think a third party perspective may be of some help. Many thanks. Regan123 00:46, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not vandalise the article entitled "Tulse Hill" Alec - U.K. 07:11, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Asking not vandalise the article entitled "Tulse Hill" was neither a warning nor a threat but I felt that I ought to object to the message from Regan123 of 00:46, 4 November 2006, which seemed to me to be encouraging you to vandalise it. Alec - U.K. 07:19, 4 November 2006 (UTC)"[reply]

Actually Alec, you are the one vandalizing the article along with a whole list of edit infractions in other articles, you seem to ignore the warnings I keep giving you. Comments? --ArmadilloFromHell 00:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing in Regan123's message to warrant your response. It is a slur on him and me (him in that he would encourage it and me that I might do it). Given your systematic adding of nonsense to a range of articles and ignoring of warnings from a variety of editors, this makes it increasing difficult to believe you are editing in good faith; which until now I had kept an open mind about despite the considerable evidence to the contrary. MRSC • Talk 13:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alec I was not requesting someone to vandalise an article. To do so, would no doubt result in my being banned from Wikipedia. The Tulse Hill article is currently the subject of a disagreement in the terms of the information on there. I asked an experienced Wikipedian from the Wikipedia London Project to provide a third party perspective from a neutral position, which is (I believe) fairly standard perspective. You contined to edit the article despire there being no consensus yet on the matter and, in fact, two editors asking for the focus on the article not to be changed, so I felt this action to appropriate and proper. If it is not then I am sure fellow editors will no doubt inform me. Regan123 15:45, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gipsy Hill

I was a bit sure that you would contact me after reverting your edit. :) (As it was a hard one to decide.) So I reverted it because you wrote sentences like "Gipsy Hill is not an historic hill" and you removed plenty of texts and links. NCurs e _work 16:12, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can't understand me? Ok, in this edit, you removed texts ("A council estate named Central Hill is also in the area."), internal links (for example from Elm Wood School) and others. What is nonsense in that? NCurs e _work 16:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tulse Hill & Knights Hill etc.

Please stop creating articles, links and redirects such as Tulse Hill & Knights Hill, Streatham Hill & Brixton Hill and Tulse Hill & Effra Road. Wikipedia naming of articles represents common namings of things; these pairings are artificial and do not reflect real-world practice. MRSC • Talk 17:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changing other users comments

In Talk:Dyspnea you changed the comments made by a anon IP address. Changing other user's posts (other than possibly removing offensive comments) is vandalism, it alters the talk history and unless someones looks at the detailed history, puts your words in other's mouths.

Please do not edit other people's comments, as you did at Talk:Dyspnea. It is considered vandalism, and you may be Blocked from editing Wikipedia if you continue in this manner. Even if you don't like their opinion, please be civil and remember that they are entitled to it.

I had no objection to Saugeen Stripper being redirected; when I undid it, the material hadn't been merged, but it was immediately afterwards. As for allergic asthma, I don't see any big problem with it, at a cursory glance. --Golbez 13:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent move of Genetic disorder to Race related disabilities was not appropriate.

Asthma

Hi, Alec; I'm traveling right now and don't have continuous internet access. WP:FAR is for featured article review, where you specify which criterion of WP:WIAFA you believe are no longer met. Some older FAR pages of medical articles (for samples) are at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Tuberculosis and Wikipedia:Featured article review/Psychosis. Sandy (Talk) 15:52, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alec, I'm traveling and still haven't been able to look at asthma - maybe you can list (relative to the criteria at WP:WIAFA) the deficiencies on the Asthma talk page ? Sandy (Talk) 15:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Asthma and pathogenesis

Thanks for your message on my talk page.

I'm not an asthma expert, but I've looked over the section you've referred to on my talk page. Asthma belongs to a class of chronic disorders that contain tissue remodeling as part of etiology and progression. In such disorders, changes at the organ, tissue and cellular level can significantly precede the emergence of clinical symptoms that would, at the gross level, distinguish an asthmatic from a non-asthmatic. Thus the distinction between asthmatic and non-asthmatic isn't so clear-cut as "yesterday I was a non-asthmatic and today I'm an asthmatic"; it's not like an infection where "today I have an infection and yesterday I did not". As a matter of observation, I think that the particular section in question (pathogenesis) is not terribly well written and needs attention. For more information along this line you might take a look at results of a Google Scholar search for "asthma pathogenesis tissue remodeling" or, for instance, the "Pathogenesis and Definition" chapter of Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma.

Tulse Hill station

The infobox says 'place' - Tulse Hill. The station may or may not be on a hill called Tulse Hill but it is undoubtedly in the district known as Tulse Hill. Claret 07:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User comment regarding Tulse Hill , Knight's Hill

Thanks for your comment, but I'm not confused regarding the original Knight's Hill and have amended the wikipedia entry to make this clearer. I know the Knights Hill (the road) is south of Thurlow Park Road, but have not mistaken the original Knight's Hill with Tulse Hill, which is about a five minute walk from the original Knight's Hill. If you look on a A-Z or Streetmap, you will see the original Knight's Hill bordered by Lovelace, Thurlow Park and Peabody Hill. Your point about the apostrophe was correct though. Check out [1] for a sketch of (original) Knight's Hill in 1795.

I live in the area in question and have done so for 30 years, so I'm aware Tulse Hill is a seperate mound to Knight's Hill, although they are incredibly near each other. Thurlow Park Road was named after Thurlow House, which stood roughly where the former St Cuthbert's Church stands now on the junction with Elmcourt Road (now a nursey belonging to Rosemead School) and Lord Thurlow's estate was within Knight's Hill farm. The estate covered a lot of the All Saints, Lovelace Road, Thurlow Park Road area and was tied to Norwood originally because Tulse Hill hadn't come into its own as an area until the late 1800s. The original Knight's Hill would have been a good 15 minute walk from the bottom of Knights Hill (the road). Tulse Hill (the road) is on the actual Tulse Hill. West Dulwich station wouldn't have been named Lower Knight's Hill when it opened if its was referring to the Knights Hill (road) going up towards Crown Point because they're a fair distance - 20-25 minute walk. West Norwood train station in the immediate vicinity of Knights Hill (the road) was built around the same time as West Dulwich train station. Check these images for evidence... [2] and [3] I actually purchased the latter picture and some others in the local area from Lambeth Landmark's website because I'm such a history geek! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.198.76 (talk • contribs)

Do you think the plauge may have been something to do with asthma?

I'm not entirely sure why you directed this question at me. If you're referring to an edit I've previously made, could you please point out where I made this edit?

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question. You might be more joyful asking folk at the Humanities reference desk. I hope this is of good use to you. Bobo . 18:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Norwood Road

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Norwood Road, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Norwood Road. You may remove the {{dated prod}} template, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
