Alumni Oxonienses

Thanks, that's very useful. I know where I can find hard copies, at a pinch, but it's altogether better to have it there online. I've just found 1715-1886 here - do you know if 1500-1714 is online? Xn4 (talk) 21:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Saying Hi

It's been a while since I've been on, and trying to remember how to make a new section was fun... Anyways grats on the adminship, and I wish you happy wiki-ing in the future. I'll be more active in the next few months (I hope)

Notable cellist

why was the British cellist Michael kevin Jones deleted from the Wikipedia listings ? I tried to post an article about him at the same time as listing him on the notable cellists page and perhaps this should have been done first ? In any case he is indeed a 'notable' cellist and I request that the deletion be reconsidered . American record guide recently praised his magnificent tone and expansive phrasing and named him an irresistible figure and his recording of the Bach suites for the Metropolitan Museum of Art using a rare Stradivarius cello from 1667 have also recieved considerable praise. He is the cellist in the Jones Maruri cello guitar duo which is known throughout the world as can be verified by any internet search.

reply..It was deleted because it was a copyright infringement of this page. Try writing it again without copying sources verbatim. Regards, BencherliteTalk 22:10, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I am very upset after having followed your advise . I wrote the article again on British cellist Michael Kevin Jones and the Jones Maruri duo using only genuine references and infomation and everything was removed without warning today . At least on the last attempt I was given 5 days to expand the article ! .. how can this lack of consequence and critearia be possible in Wikipedia ? please help me to restore these artists to your listings.

re: Boat club article

Looks pretty good, I've just added a couple to see also.

Perhaps the opening paragraph is a little too long? Also, the history seems to stop around 2002-04, perhaps a line or two on the last few years? I'm being fussy though, that's all I can pick up. Grunners (talk) 17:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, happy to give you an independent copyedit before GA? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:52, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A situation I don't know how to handle

Hello, I was referred to you by another editor. I seem to be in the middle of some odd edit war between User:KM*hearts*MC and an anon IP user. I would give you the IP address but it changes with every edit they make yet it is registered to the same company, Telekom Malaysia Berhad, which leads me to believe it is the same person on some sort of public terminal (library, school, etc.) or they are using proxies. The IP user seems to be upset b/c their edit was reverted by User:KM*hearts*MC several times (as well as other editors) and he/she will call the editor "dumb" or "stubborn" in his/her edit summaries. However, I agreed with KM's edit and I stated in my summary that if your edits are being constantly reverted then it should give you a clue that something is wrong. Well, this user has now taken the time to revert every edit I've made in the past two days (without an edit summary) and I can only believe that he/she is reverting KM's edits as well. I am not sure if this is grounds for blocking but although it is quite annoying, I feel this user will continue this act of "revenge". Any thoughts?.
