==Leicester Uni article==
Hi, thanks for sorting the photos out on the Leicester site, im very new to editing wikipeida articles, Leicester is the first one i have edited so any advice you give would be much appreciated. thanks tom.


==Edit summary==
Hello. Please remember to always provide an ]. Thanks and happy edits. <!--this friendly reminder was prompted by a non-minor edit you made to a page in the article namespace while logged in as a registered user, see your user contributions or contact me for specifics--> ]&nbsp;<sup>]]]</sup> 15:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== ] ==

Hi, just to let you know that the list of UK participants at the ] was getting rather long, so I have replaced it with the above category which I have added to your user page. -- ] | ] 30 June 2005 18:38 (UTC)

== Reverts ==

Don't worry about reverts of simple vandalism, the 3rr doesn't apply to them. Remember to label reverts of simple vandalism, and report it on the vandalism in progress page. ] -

== Wittgenstein ==

The toned-down xtianity claim seems much better to me, thanks. Sorry about carelessly deleting the "works about" stuff in my edit... my bad. All the best. ] 21:27, 2005 July 28 (UTC)

== Spoo ==

Cool addition to ] - thanks! (And, by the way, if you didn't know, I've currently got it on ].) As for the book, ''The Real Frank Zappa Book'', do you know what the ISBN and the publisher are? This is to keep my rather (copious) references up to date. Thanks for your time! --] - '']'' - ] 09:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

==Help, please==

You and I share an interest in Russell, among other things; I wrote a great deal of text on that a while back, and we worked together on the Welsh business. Anyway, I would like some help in preserving an article that my wife and I wrote on ]. It's up for deletion, unfairly I believe. He is not a well-known philosopher, to be sure, but he has had some accomplishments that surpass the average professor test of notability, and I think given all of things we see in an encyclopedia whose founder desires to be "The sum of all knowledge," he at least deserves an article. Certainly as much as Spoo, for example?! Would you please take a look at it? I would greatly appreciate your support, that is, if you so choose. Thanks. ]

== Please review the template:philosophy (navigation) and reconsider your vote ==

Since you voted (you said it was too large), the template has been streamlined to nearly half its former size.

Please consider revising your vote concerning ].

Here's the link to the tfd discussion:

== ] ==

With reference to your reverts of my edits, can you please prove that Miguel Pro was found guilty of having participated in the attempt to assassinate Alvaro Obregon? Is this your understanding of NPOV?

Again, have you considered the relative question of the legitmacy or lack of it of the persons who murdered Pro? Were they a lawful, elected, constitutionally formed government? Was the killing a result of due process under the law? Or was it merely that a gang of bandits seized power and later came to be recognized by default as the legitimate government, by success of possession?

Is there legitimate doubt that the revolutionaries were anticlerical and Freemasons, when this was precisely their agenda? How did a rabidly anti-Catholic faction come to rule a nation that is 95% Catholic? By free and fair elections?

I think that your reversions constitute vandalism, but I will await your reply.

Regards.

: If you want to make changes to that article, cite sources for any changes and stick to NPOV. If you can't do that (and your user page suggests you can't), I will revert anything you add which is not sourced and neutral. As you can see from the page history, I removed a whole lot of left-wing POV material from that article a couple of months ago, because that wasn't appropriate either. If you can provide evidence ''from a reliable and neutral (i.e. non-Catholic) source'' that your claims are true, cite those sources when you edit the article. --] (]) 16:17, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

::Which still leaves me with the question: ''Was he executed, as you allege, or was he murdered?'' Can you please answer that with proof, since it is you that has put this in, even if by reversion. Also, please specify exactly ''why'' Catholic sources are ''not reliable and neutral'', which should be interesting to know. As for your wisecrack about my user page and NPOV, please be more specific. ] 17:05, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

:::"Executed" is the word most people would use to describe a killing by the de facto government of a nation. Catholic sources are not a reliable or neutral source of information about Pro because he was a Catholic priest, and is now regarded as a martyr and has been beatified. I'd no more expect a Catholic source to be accurate about Pro (other than undisputed facts, for example his date of birth or which order he belonged to) than I'd expect a Marxist source to be accurate about Che Guevara. If you can't see why your user page might give me reason to doubt your ability to be objective about this sort of subject, that's an indication of the problem. --] (]) 17:15, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

== Sysop ==

It's my pleasure to notify you that, ], you're now a ]. You may wish to read the ] and ] at your convenience. Most sysop actions are reversible, the exceptions being history merges and deleting pages (but it's a good idea to be careful with all of them). Again, congrats on becoming an admin. -- ]] 02:50, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
