CSD

Please have a look at WP:CSD. Don't list articles that don't fall under the criteria listed there as speedy deletion candidates. --fvw* 04:36, 2005 Jan 1 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at my speedy deletion request for Grey court school so quickly. I did read the CSD beforehand and it was not clear to me that the page in question did not qualify for speedy deletion. I notice that the redirect page is still there. Its name is just a duplicate of the main article Grey Court School and the redirect clutters things up. I am fairly new to WP and would appreciate your guidance on how to go about requesting its deletion.

I just realised case changes should probably fall under the misspelling CSD rules for redirects, so it was in fact a speedy deletion candidate. My apologies for that. I'm not sure it should be deleted however, generally the obvious differently-cased redirects are kept to avoid article duplication. If I link to Grey court school in an article, without the redirect the link would be red and someone might click it and create a new article, duplicating that one that already exists. We've got lots of casing-redirects laying around, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. In the general case redirects that aren't speedies go on Redirects for Deletion.

I enjoyed seeing grey court come up in recent changes though, I have two brothers who went there; A little after your time though. Have a happy new year! --fvw* 16:57, 2005 Jan 1 (UTC)

Oh, I see you haven't even had a standard welcome template yet, how rude of us. There's some useful info in there, might be interesting if you haven't seen it:

Duplicate articles

Hi, if one or the other of those articles ever gets written, the two pages can be made to show the same article using a redirect. Joe D (t) 20:22, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Sea Sickness

G'day Etimbo,

Thanks for the great work on Sea-sickness. I had spotted it as a new page, and had decided that while it definitely needed attention, however I was rather tired at the time from travelling the day before, and simply added the appropriate attention tags. I'm very very pleased to see that the article was cleaned up so quickly, and to such a high standard as well. Thank-you very much.

All the very best,

Abrahamic religion

Thanks, I'd already seen it. Don't worry about reverting people who put obvious POV or nonsense into an article, and don't bother to discuss it in Talk: first, or don't even bother to explain their edits with an edit summary. Jayjg | (Talk) 00:04, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Edward Bransfield

I approved your changes. In the article Edward Bransfield the word discovered does not seem odd for me. But it will seem more than odd for me if it appear on the Main Page once again. I'm trying to be more or less objective (maybe sometimes unsuccessfully :-)) Good luck! Cmapm 22:39, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Grey Court School

I have changed your cat from Schools in Surrey to Schools in London because strictly speaking Grey Court School is in Greater London and not within the boundaries of the county of Surrey. I hope that's OK. Cheers. --Etimbo | Talk 12:01, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Oh yeah, that's fine. I was just attempting to move it out of the "schools" or "education" category where I found it and into a subcategory. Sorry if I picked the wrong one. Cheers.--BaronLarf 12:19, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)

Voting in the standard manner

If you vote "support", it is unclear whether you are supporting the page's existence or the deletion nomination, and it makes it difficult for administrators to tally the votes. Use one of the standard votes listed at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion phrases instead, and your vote will be clear to all. Uncle G 13:55, 2005 Feb 11 (UTC)
