If, for reasons only known to yourself, you don't believe the BBC reference - contact the show yourself.

Unfortunately it cannot be confirmed, me contacting the show personally will not give a valuable third party ref, it would be classed as 'hear say'. Third party refs will become available if it is to happen. Monkeymanman (talk) 10:50, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now added another reference confirming Manchester show.

Nice work.

Also, you know that you can remove the welcome banner at the top of this talk page? If you're not using the links then it makes for a cleaner layout and makes it easier to get to the table of contents. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:12, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.--John (talk) 16:55, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That IP UserI left you a reply on Talk:Lorenzo_Amoruso#Racism_U_turn but just to add here - I've been kinda away from WP for a day or so. I'm hoping to dive into that article and clean up the additions from that user sometime in the next few days. I took a look at their other edits and there seems to be other material to clean. I wasn't sure if you planned to d oany of it - so before jumping in wanted to check :) --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk) 12:31, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]Thanks for asking, yeh the other articles the user has edited need seriously cleaned, especialy the Hugh Dallas one. Although another user has tagged it for a complete rewrite recently which i would agree with. I plan to try to do some of it in the next few days and would be greatful if you could check it to prevent the user from making accusations about biased intentions (i will leave you a message). Monkeymanman (talk) 15:26, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply] Yep I was just reading that article. In the spirits of AGF I just left him/her a pretty extensive policy reading list, hopefully that will get across what we are trying to explain...... I'll keep an eye on the articles for content. --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk) 15:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]ReminderJust a reminder that the ANI you raised against myself still does not seem to be marked as resolved.

I didn't revert them because it expanded the content - was just weasely. I'm not sure I have the time to correct, but if you do then I thought I would let you know :D --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk) 13:34, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]Thanks Tom, i noticed one of them and had my suspicions about the others but had yet to check.

Sorry for any trouble. Monkeymanman (talk) 21:38, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply] No problem. In cases like that, I usually make sure to put "Please discuss" or the like in the edit summary, and then start a section there with a "What's your object to…?" That gets the discussion going—or makes it easy to see who has attempted to discuss it and who has refused. (Or, in a case like this, put "restoring sourced material deleted without explanation" in the edit summary, so it's easier to make a case that I'm reverting vandalism.) —C.Fred (talk) 21:41, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply] You are probably aware, but the same editor is active with similar situations across wikipedia at the moment and it is dragging my patience to its limit. Thanks for the reply and advice Monkeymanman (talk) 21:44, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply] The IP has been blocked for now for edit warring.

Thanks, 90.200.240.178 (talk) 18:30, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply] My intention was not to mislead, and do not think i did. The fact that the first person to mention the ref on the BLP noticeboard quoted the author, shows that they have read the source for themselves. Therefore my quote on the noticeboard was irrelevant.

Mostly IP's keep adding non-notable awards to her. I'd appreciate the help. If you look at my contributions you will see that I removed a lot on non-notable awards in the past few days from articles, so much so that it's actually getting annoying.

If something has been tagged since 2008 or 2009 and still not cited appropriately then either the contested text should be rv or the tag date updated to reflect the last inspection, no? Also tagging every other sentence, when the text can be merged and one tag only needed per paragraph, say, is preferable in every way, when possible.

Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 20:46, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply] OK so the text which has been contested since 2008, 2009, etc. should be rv. I'm on it.

Could you explain the overlink thing as I didn't quite understand it (possibly through being over-tired at work!) Mattun0211 (talk) 16:30, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply] yep - pretty obvious - it had been along day and I just couldn't work it out! Mattun0211 (talk) 01:03, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]Old FirmI understand your concern, however no-one really edits/vandalises that page and their was clear criteria as to which matches to include. I just assumed another editor would see that and add the Rangers results in as I couldn't really be bothered doing them. Anyway the reason I added that in was because I think their should be more information about the footballing side of the OF rather than just the political stuff, I was going to do a table with all OF matches since the SPL began and also Manager v Manager and Manager v Club records but if you really think it would be a bad idea then I suppose theirs no point. Thanks Adam4267 (talk) 18:58, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]The celtic wiki is quite bias but I think those results are all correct, although their is also soccerbase which is already on the page, I think a table of matches should go back to the formation of the SPL otherwise where would you stop. What do you think about the biggest wins their is only about 3 or 4 each but if we only put the 1 in then their shouldn't be 3 sections on it. Adam4267 (talk) 20:01, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]Hello monkeyman i started the head to head table, you can help edit it if you want to.

On 18 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Craig Whyte, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Scottish businessman Craig Whyte bought the controlling interest in Rangers Football Club from David Murray for £1? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Juan Manuel OrtizHi there MONKEYMAN, VASCO from Portugal here, don't know what wrong does it make to write the truth (both RANGERS and CELTIC are what i wrote, powerhouses, giants, whatever you want to call it - internally that is), you removed it OK, am not going to edit war over that.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Green Brigade. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Drmies (talk) 20:48, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]Talkback
