Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:00, 1 May 2007

Hi! Can you please delete the page named chavo shrestha... i had created that page as a prank and want to take it off now... sorry for the inconvenience

Hi! I just saw your update to New Rome, Ohio—do you have a link for the story about the judge's order to dissolve it? I'm eager to read more on it...it's especially hard to keep up with the news on it since the Dispatch's stupid website is pay only. I grew up in Columbus, and remember quite clearly when one of the very first things that I was told by my driver's ed instructor many years ago was "watch out for New Rome." It's a fascinating, weird subject. Thanks! Postdlf 22:53, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Gaymap bluetest.PNG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Gaymap bluetest.PNG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam 07:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

DCA and PC

They're wrong. (As in many things, trusting the Government is a rather bad idea.) Much more authoritative sources, like Debrett's Correct Form, show the correct way. (As an online example, this page from the College of Arms website shows "PC" after "CVO", and I'd certainly expect the College of Arms to know what they're talking about.)

Honours precede all other post noms PC is an appointment it is not an honour so it goes with QC etc. The DCA site is wrong sadly and various HMSOs publications agree with Proteus as do Burkes and DebrettsAlci12 15:44, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Prince Charles and the Saskatchewan Order of Merit

Hi there,

I notice that a few days ago you added the Saskatchewan Order of Merit to List of titles and honours of Charles, Prince of Wales. I've checked the offical lists in which Charles is not listed. Due to this I have removed the listing. Do you have a link that states that Charles recieved it ? As far as I knew none of the royal family have ever held the provincial orders which I belive are not headed by the queen by rather by the Lt Governor. Thanks Dowew 14:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I have learned not to trust wikipedia artles for citable info. They are a great starting point, but you should double check before repeating info somewhere else, otherwise incorrect rumor can just snowball. Its pretty simple, just a quick googlesearch for Saskatchewan Order of Merit will turn up the official page. I've always thought it kinda strange that the Queen has never been given any of the provincial orders, particularly when she was in attendance for the first investiture of the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador.

British Royalty

Ibagli, WikiProject British Royalty wants you! WikiProject British Royalty is an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to British royalty on Misplaced Pages. If you would like to participate, you should visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.

Possibly unfree Image:WalterOwen.jpg

• I have also since added the following images for the same reason: Image:GeorgePearkes.jpg; Image:Bell-Irving.jpg; Image:RobertRogers.jpg; Image:DavidLam.jpg; Image:GardeGardom.jpg; Image:IonaCampagnola.jpg. None of these images appears to be owned by the federal Canadian government. The only sources given are a provincial government website. None of the provinces have a licencing scheme similar to the federal government. Agent 86 06:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Honourific prefixes

Thanks for the notice. I mainly edited photographes of GGs and LGs for 'His Honour'/'Her Honour' according to the Canadian protocol.Cahk 04:23, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

PC

"Unfortunately, the current MoS prevents "The Right Honourable" and other similar prefixes from being used at the beginning of an article. I've given my views on that matter several times, but to no avail." In that case surely an exception needs to be made in respect of an overseas, non-ennobled, member of the Imperial Privy Council to indicate his or her appointment to it. However, members of the Canadian Privy Council are not "Right Honourable" by virtue of their being Privy Counsellors. When Canadian appointments to the Imperial Privy Council were abolished by the Pearson Government in the 1960s (Prime ministers and Chief Justices of Canada had previously been appointed; it had become anomalous in the case of chief justices when appeals to the JCPC were finally re-abolished in criminal cases and abolished anew across the board in all other cases in 1949 so that chief justices no longer travelled to Westminster to sit on the Judicial Committee) the honorific "Right Honourable" was reinstated as a Canadian honour for prime ministers, chief justices, and certain other eminent persons who are granted it from time to time. Otherwise Canadian Privy Counsellors are merely Honourable. Masalai 03:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Fair use image on user namespace

Thanks, that's most likely very nice of you. B.Mearns, KSC 00:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks here too, I was unaware the image was Fair Use (not that ignorance is an excuse, of course!). Cheers - Wezzo (talk) (ubx) 08:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Katharine of Aragon

Hello there. Just wondering if you could give some advice on a debate on the Catherine of Aragon page regarding the spelling of her name. There is some heated discussion on the discussion page, could you drop by and add your thoughts?? CheersPaul75 01:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Removal of PC

Heho, there was a discussion about this on Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)#Honorific_Prefixes. Obviously it is used at non-peers anyway sometimes, we also therefore use the PC normally in articles here. Greetings ~~ Phoe _talk 21:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC) ~~
