Can you drop me a line
Someone has raised concerns over the Brookwood cemetery articles & related. Apparently they have a no photography clause and I was just wanting to clarify a few things r.e. the images. Any chance you could drop me an email - this involves an OTRS request so I can't go into too much detail here :) tom@errant.me.uk - if you have chance. --Errant 15:05, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Credit where credit is due? And show it? (LNC)
A fascinating article, probably a bit too detailed for a truly encyclopaedic WP contribution , but ticks all the right WP style and format boxes. Good example for anybody writing a WP (historical) article and justly given Featured Article status.
But, I wonder, I just wonder: in a 99,000 bytes article (say, 25 pages normal text in word) there are some 320 cites to only two books from one author. There are ten cites to one page from Clarke 2004 alone. Credit where credit is due: if WP used the Harvard style of citations, the name Clarke would be mentioned 320 times in the body of the text. As WP prefers the numbered Vancouver style, Clarke is only mentioned twice (in the bibliography). To address this imbalance gently I will add the source (and mention Clarke’s name) in two of the illustrations, which are based on maps from the two Clarke books. It creates inconsistencies in the citation style but that’s in my view a small price to pay for making the originator of most of the material in this splendid WP article slightly more visible.

Tempest
Back in 2008, you deleted a page on a Christian rock band called Tempest, due to "Article about a band without assertion of notability". I am preparing to re-create a page on the band, but am including multiple references, sources, etc. that will hopefully address your original concerns from 2 1/2 years ago. I'm still putting together album data, etc., but will hopefully release it soon. Per the directions on the page, I am contacting you, both to let you know about the new page, but also to invite comments on the page I've created and suggestions for improvements. Thanks! 5minutes (talk) 12:32, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- Regrettably, Iridescent isn't active on Misplaced Pages at present. I am afraid you will have to request this input elsewhere. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:53, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

SPI help
Hi, I'm writing this because the SPI page's content defending yourself suggests talking to an Arbitrator for help. The Falkland Islands talk page is out of control due to a group of editors whose failure to discuss and has apparently pushed several users completely out of the discussion or into anonymous IPs. I am suspected of being one of them and User Nightw started an SPI investigation against me. Clerk has declined CI request and yet this SPI remains opens, although nothing has been posted for three days.
Meanwhile, discussion at the page with end to make changes continues to be blocked, with all changes reverted. A request went nowhere because it was suspected to be from a sockpuppet. A previous WP:ANI incident went nowhere. I've also taken this to WP:WQA where an admin said a resolution there is not likely. On the issue of sources, WP:RSN goes nowhere either. The article has been to WP:MEDCAB a few years ago with no resolution then. And it's been to ARBCOM where it was declined in favor of RfC and lower forums. Always the same users, always the same antics.
It doesn't look like outside editors are responding to WP:RFC requests and no forum wants to touch this, everyone treats it like a hot potatoe. Personal attacks, violations of WP:AGF, WP:NPOV, WP:OR, WP:GAMES, WP:IRS, etc all continue. Agreeing with another editor becomes WP:BEANS. Notifying editors of proceedings becomes WP:CANVASS, but if a notification is delayed they'll accuse you of not following procedure. This article needs admin involvement immediately and I and other editors who are screaming for it can't get it. In the meantime the ongoing and apparently stalled SPI against me seems to cast doubt on any dispute resolution measure.
Please help. Thank you.Alex79818 (talk) 15:40, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
