Hi Angela, thanks for the welcome. I dipped my toe in the water the other day with Dunsfold, and thought I'd get a log in and attempt something more.

Hello, welcome to Misplaced Pages. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them;

• How to edit a page
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. Angela 23:07, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the page-splitting. I hope you like the compact TOCs I added. Phil 16:17, Oct 31, 2003 (UTC)

Warofdreams, I see you wrote articles on Helensburgh and Dumbarton. You from that part of the world. My old man'd family are from Dumbarton, and my gran now lives in the Vale of Leven? Big Jim Fae Scotland

Thank you for merging and improving entryism/entrism. I wrote the original draft of the entryism article - I had no idea that the entrism article existed as I had not heard the term used before. Do you know of any other groups that practice this tactic? The links to entryism are the British left, the links to entrism the French left. I wonder where else this goes on and what they call it ;) Secretlondon 14:11, Nov 7, 2003 (UTC)

Hi. Re List of British newspapers - I think there was a point for it to have separate local and regional things, in that the regional papers covered more than just one town/city, but a whole area - and the local ones just cover one town/city. If that's true, then it could have been clearer... Morwen 17:55, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Regarding your edits in Architectural style, it is good that you have removed the short descriptive sentences(which I have been wanting to do for some time).

But your categorisation is not accurate, though you have claimed it to be. I think the earlier categorisation was better and more accurate, probably because I ordered it out of the confusion which existed earlier:-)

Some of the mistakes as of now are - 1.You can't classify something as Western tradition, probably under Western architecture 2.Islamic architecture is not under Western tradition. 3. Deconstructivism is not usually classified under Postmodern architecture, it is one of the many directions after modernism. Or you should use post Modern Modern with a gap, in the sense of after.

You have also removed links by changing the names, if you do that you have to use the disambiguation technique so that the links still are valid.

Will be changing it shortly. If you have anything to clarify, let's discuss in Talk Page of article. KRS 15:51, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I like your articles on the WRP and one of the 4th internationals. Someone made a List of Communist Parties some time ago and we've been debating how to actually categorise the revolutionary left. If you've any ideas on how categorise the various schools of trotskyism (if thats the right word) please let me know!

Hi. I don't if you've seen my List of Trotskyist internationals - feel free to edit/contribute. Secretlondon 20:00, Dec 2, 2003 (UTC)

Thanks - I was getting my list from http://www.broadleft.org/inter.htm and picking out the ones that I knew were Trotskyist. I didn't check them all. Secretlondon 20:16, Dec 2, 2003 (UTC)

hi saw you edited the crucible theatre page i started today. im from sheffield too. toodles.

Yes I get my info from there as well. I've been sorting out the australian and new zealand parties - and found the SPGB's international. Definitely not trostkyist - I stuck it on the talk page whilst I decide what to do with it. Secretlondon 22:12, Dec 16, 2003 (UTC)

I don't feel confident to write an article on left communism. (or even whether that is a POV term). I'll have to leave that one for you. Secretlondon 22:26, Dec 17, 2003 (UTC)

I've produced the following: List of organisations associated with the British Labour Party which you may want to add to. Secretlondon 23:02, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)

Hi - we have a policy to use English names (ie translations) for things such as political parties. Your edit to International Socialist Tendency has reversed this (and broken some of the links). I'll have to revert your changes. Secretlondon 18:33, Jan 12, 2004 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (use English)

From the above:

Convention: Name your pages in English and place the native transliteration on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly used in English than the anglicized form.

User:Morwen and I have been using this convention for all political parties - look at List of political parties for examples. Basically articles under translated name with (blah language: name in orginal language) in the first line. I consider this to be in compliance with policy. Secretlondon 18:53, Jan 12, 2004 (UTC)

See Morwen's comments on my talk page. It's probably better that we continue this discussion in one place.Secretlondon 19:24, Jan 12, 2004 (UTC)

Republican communism

Republican communism has been put on Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion. As it stands it is an awful article. However the debate on VfD seems to be that people don't believe it exists - however there is a Republican Communist Network in the UK etc. It also seems to be used in the CIS - but I'm sure what they are actually meaning by it.

Do you have a decent definition or understanding of the term - I *think* in the UK it is referring to Irish/Scots republicanism - however I may be wrong. I'd appreciate your help with this. Thanks. Secretlondon 22:40, Jan 15, 2004 (UTC)

Requested articles

Just to let you know, you made an edit to the requested articles which I had to revert. The edit delete a huge swath of the article, and put much of the rest out of order. I suspect this was an accident. Any legit changes you made to the article were also lost, so you'll have to put them in again. Let me know if you have a problem with what I have done. →Raul654 05:32, Feb 3, 2004 (UTC)
