wikify! I am sick and fed up with people who leave a message here about an article and fail to provide a wikilink to the article. How do you expect me to read the article if you don't link to it? I reserve the right to ignore any message which does not provide links where appropriate or has not been signed with ~~~~. Even if the article has been deleted, you should still link to it. And if that sounds like a grumpy old man, it's because I am ...
Hello Mr Haworth, I am the author of Musical Stones of Skiddaw. Great to hear you grew in Kendal (I was born and bred there myself and still live there) I hope that I have done all you instructed me to in order to get the entry published; I've added info to images, tagged myself as the author and made loads of links in the text. I would be grateful if could you check it for me. Best wishes Jamie Barnes JJ-Barnes12:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello again. I just like to say thank you for your guidance, as the stones entry has now been published by Wiki. Best Wishes JJ-Barnes22:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC) Oh - and the ears you asked about in the picture you linked to, they belong to a stuffed fox, pretty cool ay?

Hi, you changed UK to GB on the commons template {{Oscoor}}. I don't mind, but it makes me curious what the definition is here. I tried to read up on British Isles (terminology). Does your edit refer to the Ordnance Survey or to the grid? Surely the O.S. is a national agency for all UK and not only for GB? Is the grid served by the Oscoor (and Gbmapping) templates only applicable to one island (GB) and not to Ulster or the Channel islands? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LA2 (talk • contribs)
The edit refers to both the Ordnance Survey and the grid. Please read British national grid reference system and Irish national grid reference system. There is one grid for Great Britain and another for the island of Ireland. It has been on my todo list for over a year to change the resource which oscoor calls to accept Irish grid refs as well but I am still waiting for the round tuit. As you can see from the maps, the Isle of Man lies within the GB grid; the Channel Islands lie outside both. Have a look at (vanity link! to) geograph which is collecting photos using both grids. -- RHaworth20:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I am pleased to present you with this Round Tuit. I saw you were lacking one, and feel it is only fair to provide you with one. I would love Ireland to be incorporated too. :) Fiddle Faddle10:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Done. But oh dear, we have lost support for region:GB and thus have lost links to the really useful stuff such as old-maps and geograph. Come back egil - all is forgiven. -- RHaworth08:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
We can't about an article, and if someone chooses to link out, then that is a choice. Misplaced Pages does allow HTML FYI. The website it linked to was not Commercial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cxi105 (talk • contribs)
I deleted it because it was a crude {{copyvio}} from http://www.fogster.com/listing.php?id=100045 . Also it was written in an hopelessly unencyclopedic tone which led me to believe that you were a representative of Gulf Harbour and were trying to advertise here. Same probably goes for anything else of yours that has been deleted. -- RHaworth09:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Mr. Haworth,
Congratulations on finding my Fogster posting. It is also copied directly from
http://www.MrSWFL.com/GulfHarbour and then I added HTML references to link back there. It is a source to tell people about a neighborhood that I live in. What is commercial about that.
Since you are the apparent self appointed authority of Misplaced Pages, would it be possible for you to make a suggestion of how you would like it worded. *1*
In my years of problem solving, it is easy to tell people what needs to be fixed, but it is a little harded to try to educate them as to how to fix it.
Any suggestions?
I am curious though...if it follows your rules, what if a posting does not follow someone else's? *2* — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cxi105 (talk • contribs)
*1* You seem to have absolutely no sense of English style - is English your native language? An article which contains amazing ... premier ... true destination, whether it be your home or your home away from home within its first paragraph is not exactly encyclopedia material is it? Now read this carefully, I will say it only once: find at least two Misplaced Pages articles about places such as Gulf Harbour; make sure that each article has been edited by at least two different people; read them carefully noting in particular their style and tone. Now re-write the Gulf Harbour article, in your own words and in the same style. Is that difficult?
*2* If a posting does not follow someone else's rules then that someone else can put it through one of the many deletion paths available here. -- RHaworth00:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
