UKIP

Read this section of the talk page and also WP:BRD and WP:NPA and learn to use the talk page of the article. Also the simplest of web searches would have established the name of Louise Bours. No idea why you would want to change that but if you do then find a source ----Snowded 08:59, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Cecilia Chancellor

Hi Urquhartnite, why have you posted that I am connected to this article? I put it through Afc (Articles for Creation), but have no connection to the subject. I think you may have misunderstood somewhere. Perhaps read around the guidance a bit before you make similar contributions. I've posted on the talk page of Cecilia Chancellor. Could you revert your edit please. Many thanks. Libby norman (talk) 10:20, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi again, I've now made the reversion myself, as this was clearly a good faith error on your part. I have no connection to Cecilia Chancellor, so no COI. I'm not sure how you decided I did, but would be happy to talk through this edit with you via my Talk page or on here if you wish to discuss. Thanks. Libby norman (talk) 10:30, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
I've now removed the other COI notice as I think this may also be a good faith error. I can't actually see evidence that the editor concerned was engaged in long-term manipulation, although they did create the page, and it would be rather hasty to 'name and shame' without clear proof. Do come back if you wish to discuss or I've missed something forensic. Libby norman (talk) 14:19, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Re your editing of Alan Mak MP wiki page entry. I am not Alan Mak MP so it is not autobiographical. Nor do I work for him or have any connection. This is clearly a good faith error. Also if you look at the page history I didn't create or make extensive edits. I voted Labour in the past not Conservative. I made tiny edits to reference well known facts about his early career stage if you google him. I also removed an excessively negative criticism which was clearly written by someone from an opposition local party, likely UKIP. The fact that a newly elected MP had such an extensive 'controversies' section was in itself out of kilter with the norm for nearly all other MPs from the 2015 or 2010 intake, so it is good this page has been pruned back for balance.

Barnstar

Thanks for giving out this consolation barnstar to alert me to the fact that pretty much all past revisions of the article got oversighted. Deryck C. 05:55, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Re comment on my talk page I am NOT the academic Matthew Goodwin as you appear to have assummed. Though I suppose you only have my word for that.

AFD

Hi Urquhartnite, Please read WP:AFDHOWTO on nominating articles, If you're stuck I could nominate on your behalf ?, Cheers, –Davey2010 22:22, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Please infuture nominate the articles and then add them everywhere, So many people just add the {{Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/X}} to the logs without creating the actual AFD which is what I assumed you done there, Had you created the AFD first it means I wouldn't of wasted time reverting you and now reverting myself!, Thanks –Davey2010 22:27, 1 September 2015 (UTC)


speedy nomination

On what basic did you label Silvia Wadhwa as spam or coi, or make the accusations you did about the editor. Even on the coi noticeboard, we would have worded this as possibly might be, or something of the sort. , unless there is firm evidence. The editor you accused is a very experienced editor, who has been here from 2007 working on a variety of subjects. In all this time, not a single article they created has ever been deleted. If you do have actual evidence, please indicate this to me, and I will tell you how to proceed properly. I'm an experienced administrator here, and I advise you of our rules about WP:OUTING--it applies everywhere. DGG ( talk ) 06:08, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Camila Batmanghelidjh

It's on my list of articles to review, when I get a chance. Having looked at her father, I can tell you that she was definitely an Iranian citizen in the 70s. I'm not sure what happens to the citizenship of those that left around the time of the revolution; I'd assume that the state didn't bother revoking citizenship, but who knows. It's probably acceptable to assume that she's still Iranian, just as we assume David Cameron is still British, but I can see an argument that we'd need proof for it.

She wasn't born a Belgian, but it's possible that she was granted Belgium nationality after the fall of the Shah. We'd need a decent source for that though.

The OR I was referring to was the statement that a part of the family had emigrated to the UK; we've no sources to support this and, in fact, it's perfectly normal to school in the UK whilst retaining one's original nationality. So, in the absence of a source that says she emigrated, she merely attended school there. Bromley86 (talk) 20:38, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Better use of your time

Rather than harass me, do you not think your time would be better spent engaging in the conversation at Talk:Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh#Lead, where the matter that seems to concern you is the topic of discussion? Please don't comment at my talk page or send me passive-aggressive "thanks" for removing your un-constructive posts any more. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 03:56, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
