Thought you might like to see that I changed my vote on this one: [1] You were right, my reasoning made no sense. Thanks for pointing it out. Robofish (talk) 12:37, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

• Well said. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:43, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Question

I know we've been bumping heads lately, but I have a question. Rather than going to one of the noticeboards, I thought I'd try to get you to clear things up. Aircraft design process is nominated for deletion. You moved that article to Aircraft design during the deletion discussion. You then started a new article at Aircraft design process. Which article is being debated at the AfD? Is it Aircraft design where the tag currently is or is it Aircraft design process which is the name of the original article? This is quite confusing.

Both titles are under discussion there and the history of the matter is explained though, if you're coming to it late, the discussion may seem too long, alas. It is not unusual for multiple article titles to be bundled together. I'll check the links and presentation to see if this can be made clearer. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:58, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

• Hey Colonel, you and I have disagreed plenty in AfD discussions, and if I dig deeply enough I can find an AfD where, if I am not mistaken, you moved or renamed an article (some theological thing) under discussion (but not with the results of the Aircraft affair, fortunately). I didn't see the ANI discussion until just now, but I wanted to tell you that I think this was a good answer. Happy editing, Drmies (talk) 17:29, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

• That earlier case was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Epistemics of Divine Reality (2nd nomination). That move was reverted by DGG and the blue link I had created, which was certainly a notable topic, was deleted. That reversion and deletion was disruptive in the proper sense of the wiki-concept: "disrupting progress toward improving an article". The precedents are now clear and I may return to the matter but not right now as I have a dinner engagement... Colonel Warden (talk) 18:10, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

• I hope you enjoy. Regards, Drmies (talk) 18:45, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Hanwell Park

CW, After Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grove Avenue, London was closed, I moved the article to Hanwell Park. It could do with some of your attention from the sources you say you have, if you'd be so kind? Thanks, Bigger digger (talk) 11:27, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I observed your edits following the AFD. I applaud your initiative but thought it best to leave you to it as I had had a good run at the topic. If you have now run dry then we can perhaps wait upon another editor to take it forward. Myself, I have been working on adjacent articles which have been suggested by consideration of the same sources, such as Cuckoo Schools. There is much to be said about the area and I find it best to let the work develop slowly and steadily as one reads around the topic(s). If one tries to force the pace, then one may overreach. See WP:DEADLINE. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:33, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't have / can't find the sources to define what Hanwell Park actually was/is, whilst you mentioned you had the London Encyclopedia or somesuch tome, which would probably help with this matter. I get a bit antsy when I leave an article which, even if short, doesn't do a decent job of at least defining its content, which I feel is the case here. But no worries, if you have other things to be getting on with I shall leave you to your cuckoos, aircraft and whatever other oddments you have come across!

Thanks

Thanks, it seems I am under attack by the Admin force of Wikipedia, well actually just a few of them. I am obviously stupid because I am not an admin. Tofutwitch11-Chat -How'd I do? 20:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Glossary of jive talk

Please be aware that footnotes are expected. Thanks, Ironholds (talk) 04:21, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

• That is a low priority - work for gnomes. It is more important to settle the fact of the article's existence, its title and scope. Several of my followers are now in attendance and I have flagged it for a couple of projects. Many hands make light work...

Keith Coster

Colonel Warden, I've been working through unreferenced BLPs, and ran across the article on Keith Coster. Do you think being a recipient of the OBE makes him notable? I know little about it. --Nuujinn (talk) 20:30, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

• Being commander of a national army seems to be an even bigger deal. I have added a citation. Colonel Warden (talk) 00:29, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the help, much appreciated, --Nuujinn (talk) 00:42, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Illegal immigration in India

I have somewhat enhanced the article Illegal immigration in India. Please review and comment on the talk page if the NPOV banner can be removed.

Thanks --Iball (talk) 16:34, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

• Remind me, please, as I have no recollection of this topic. Colonel Warden (talk) 16:55, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Explain yourself.

Please give me a good, reasonable explanation why this was a remotely good idea, in light of everything else that has happened over the last week or two. Jclemens (talk) 18:58, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
