Deleted article "Christopher Marson - Northlew Broadband and K6 Telephone Boxes"

Deb - You managed to delete just about everything on Northlew Community Broadband and Christopher Marson, while I appretiate you are rather busy and didn't bother to read the article(s), Northlew broadband is not a business and never has been, which was stated, it is a community broadband project built by founder Christopher Marson the first in the UK to do so, to answer the last mile solution to lack of connectivity for rural england, it is heavily featured in the media and is known right accross the UK both by the public and central government for the experimental nature of it's design, he is a prolific figure in this field and is note worthy within wiki based purely on the work done in Northlew/Belstone and current campaigns. Not just broadband but Christopher has branched out into saving the old K6 historic phone boxes on a community basis, he is unpaid and volunteers for the role so hardly advertising given the very sensitive nature of UK rural broadband issues. He was mentioned in the daily mail and telegraph amongst other media as the cheapest phone box on the planet! this again is not advertising, this is a fact as they do not make any money ... it's a community operation and the only village to do so. You subjected this article(s) to speedy deletion when in fact it should of been a proposed deletion, giving 7 days to discuss /or object. I would ask you to reconsider or at least re-post it and mark it as a proposed deletion which will give time to re-phrase some of the paragraphs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aufo8mycow (talkcontribs) 15:48, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Updated article "Pioneers For A Cure"

Hi Deb - I updated Pioneers For A Cure, which you tagged as being written like an ad. Thanks for your feedback; as I re-read through what I wrote, I did see that it didn't come across as objective enough. Hope my edits bring it up to wiki standards!

Future Young Producers

Hi Deb, My article Future Young Producers was taken down by you (06:48, 28 August 2010 Deb deleted "Future Young Producers" ‎(G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). Can you please explain what about the article was 'unambiguous advertising or promotion?'. I checked the wiki rules under G11 and is says that, and I quote: "simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion." The page was supposed to be informative of the company status and origin, and as far as I am aware contained no promotional material other than a link to the web site. Please quote from my original article and let me know how I broke this rule so I can fix it. Could the article not have been edited instead? Could you also send me a copy of the article as it took me three days to perfect the written flow and I have no other copies. Thanks Ccdebris (talk) 21:52, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or drop me a line. BTW, you have been pretty busy with some British history artilces - Good work! Cheers! --maveric149

RE: Showzey,
Was wondering why article was removed due to "No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content". The Showzey site is interesting and unique service which catalogs all photos from Gmail, Flickr, Picasa, and Facebook. The article is written in similar style and content as the following articles: Atpic BlueMelon Imgur

Hi There,

Was wondering if you can please let me know what is it within the article that makes it written like an advertisement?

Is there any links you can send me that I can use to ensure this does not happen again.

Thanks

Moved listings of Burns poems to "1786 in poetry"

Hi Deb, thanks for the additions to 1785 in poetry. I moved the Burns poems you added to the 1786 in poetry page because we list these in the year published (although I suppose if the poems are important enough they can be mentioned in the "Events" section). It's easier just to list them in the year they're published because we don't know the year of composition for many poems. I also removed the date links. There was a big RfC a while back where date links were declared forbidden. Personally, I don't care either way, but bots have slowly been removing them across the encyclopedia. Thanks again for the additions (and finding the birthdates for Peacock and Lady Caroline Lamb). If you have any interest in it, feel free to add passages or very short poems (such as the Burns poems) to the top of any year-in-poetry page when it was first published. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 00:15, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb, Apologies for my lack of politeness earlier at WP:NCROY. I've been doing some work over at Richard Llewellyn and I've just realised that you created the article. Can you remember how you knew that his real name was Richard Herbert Vivian Lloyd? It was challenged and taken out for lack of a source, but you presumably had one. Since there's a matching entry in the Index of Births you're definitely right, but how did you know? Thanks. AJRG (talk) 17:14, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Donna Rosato

I was developing this. Will it be possible to load it back so that it can be modified. Also I could not understand the reasons for deleting it completely. Thanks.--ouieak (talk) 16:43, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pl. check it out and suggest. thx.--ouieak (talk) 18:34, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On the same lines, the existing Jeanne Sahadi is failing to establish. I thought the amount of news they generate cause notability. Being a journalist and a contributor to network news, one might be notbale. Thx. --ouieak (talk) 21:39, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

fyi… I was the original writer for Jeanne Sahadi with a different name. If I fail to establish notability, I may have to initiate (afd or prod) for deletion. I have spent enough time on these and unfortunately I don’t feel like spending additional time on these. Someone asked me to write these. Thx. I would not feel sad if they are deleted for a valid reason.--ouieak (talk) 01:08, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer you afding Donna Rosato. If that works, I would later submit Jeanne Sahadi for afd. Let consesus decide. thx.

Appreciateed your concerns about notability. --ouieak (talk) 16:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings & taking a liberty...

Greetings Deb - hope you don't mind, but I've taken the liberty of moving the welcome template you slapped on User talk:Cfs198. I'm hoping that by putting it at the top of the page - above a couple of speedy delete templates - the editor in question may actually notice it/take heed and my new page patrolling and subsequent wikifying efforts will be made somewhat easier. Cheers!--Technopat (talk) 23:41, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are important

The Wales Barnstar
For your constant and unbelievable contributions to all things Welsh, may I award you the Wales Barnstar. You inspire others to think smarter. FruitMonkey (talk) 00:22, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, Deb. Good work on the 1818 in Wales, etc. I'm the editor who provided the genealogical citation which you have 'fixed'. I habitually use the ref name system and Template:Rp/doc when there are likely to be multiple references from a book. Cerddi Cerngoch is quite a rare book and 90% printed in Welsh, so there probably won't be many more refs in English WP, so I agree with your fix. I have, however, replaced a missing wordspace, and changed (the non-existent section) 'Historical studies' to Bucheddau. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 08:38, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Related? Yup, he's my first cousin, 4 removes. However, my grandfather left Aberaeron, Ceredigion to work in the Rhondda pits around 1900. Then my Dad took his family to Australia. Since I eventually married a Mumbles gal (in Perth, Australia), we do quite a bit of driving when we revisit Wales! Cheers Bjenks (talk) 14:56, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm also first cousin (one remove) to the late David Jenkins CBE of the NLW, so I get member access and extra privileges (for a 'foreigner') at the library. I've met Andrew Green who, like myself, was actually born in Yorkshire! I have a long-term personal project of making Joseph's Australian diaries available digitally. If the State Library of Victoria won't do it, I may be able to swing them into Project Gutenberg. I've been to Cowbridge--a very special place. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 02:29, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in seeing those diaries on-line. Deb (talk) 11:12, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CitizenKid

Hi Deb, When you have a minute could you please clarify why you deleted the entry CitizenKid? It was listed as unambiguous advertising or promotion. Is there any parts that I can remove so that the entry can remain on wikipedia? Thanks! Ewinzer (talk) 14:12, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kimberly Ann Suizdak

Hello Deb, my name is Kimberly Ann Suizdak, and today I began creating a page about myself. I am indeed a real person, and the page was created to simply contain information about myself. I saved it with some minor info, and then a few minutes later found that you had deleted it due to "No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content)". I know that you meant no harm and were only trying to keep the internet free of useless pages about people who don't exist. However, this may sound silly, but upon discovering the deletion, I felt a bit insulted because I do in fact exist. I would like to continue the creation of a page about myself, and would greatly appreciate it if you would kindly refrain from deleting it. Thank you very much, Sincerely, Kimberly Ann Suizdak Kimtastic93 (talk) 22:40, 17 April 2010 (UTC)Kimtastic93[reply]

Hello

Hello, Deb. I noticed the templates you added to Cliché Magazine, an article which I have been working on. While I fully agree that more sources would be beneficial, I am unsure as to why you feel it reads as an advertisement - I started the article myself and am in no way connected with the magazine, aside from being an avid reader. What changes do you recommend? Thanks,

Orphans

Thank for spoting this. Rich Farmbrough 23:56 26 April 2010 (UTC).

"This article is an orphan, as few or no other articles link to it." – If an article has like only one real article linking to it, placing an orphaned tag would still be appropriate. Sorafune +1 03:57, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Some articles will, by their nature, not have many articles linking to them, and who is to decide what "few" means? I don't think it's advisable for a bot to make that decision. Deb (talk) 11:08, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm very surprised you decided to make the argument over what the definition of few is. "Few" is a very common word in English that in all definitions means a number of one or more. "One" is a number of one or more. You can't get a number fewer than one without getting zero. Sorafune +1 18:47, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What a very peculiar comment! I have no idea what you are talking about. What I said was that a bot should not decide what constitutes too small a number of (i.e. too "few") references to an article. One can be quite enough for some subjects and not enough for others. Zero is the only number that is definitely too few, and is therefore the only number for which a bot should automatically tag an article. "Few" does not mean "one or more". Is a hundred "few"? Is a thousand "few"? It could be, in some contexts, but not in the context of the number of references to an article. Two or three might be "few", depending on what the article is.

Semantico

Hello Deb, I was writing to ask you why you felt that the Semantico page should be deleted. You cited 'Unambiguous advertising or promotion', however, I based my piece very closely on other sites such as that of eMeta, CrossRef and Oxford University Press and felt that I had removed any promotional and biased language. This has been my first ever contribution and I would be grateful if you could let me know how I could edit this company entity entry so that it might remain permanently on Wikipedia and not be deleted in future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex Blackman (talkcontribs) 13:47, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Deb, since last posting I have now found supporting evidence for my wikipedia entry from an external source and have removed and revised much of the language from the previous entry to ensure that it is in accordance with the rules of Wikipedia. Could you please reinstate my page so that I can edit it please. Alex Blackman (talk) 10:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for your comments. The Semantico page has been edited and improved in response to your comments with new links added. I hope this is alright now and I will endeavour to make sure this page meets Wikipedia's strict user guidelines.Alex Blackman (talk) 14:34, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gavin Russom

hi, I was just wondering: why did you merge my Gavin Russom page with the Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom page? I don't think it makes much sense to merge a well known musician's page with that of one of his former projects, of which he has many. If anything the latter page should be integrated into his. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiptok (talkcontribs) 22:16, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

yes, please advise in these regards. if the two pages must be merged (and i don't see why they should), then it should definitely be 'delia gonzalez & gavin russom' merged into 'gavin russom' and not vice versa as was done. fix it. fjd11talk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.219.12.80 (talk) 21:38, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Yuri Kuznetsov (ice hockey, 1965)

Hello! You deleted the page "Yuri Kuznetsov (ice hockey, 1965), which was a redirect left by a renaming only 11 days before your deletion. Hence it had a number of links pointing to it. I agree with your comment saying that the redirect is implausible, hence the renaming, however WP:CSD#R3 clearly states that the implausible redirect criteria "does not apply to articles and stubs that have been converted into redirects". Can you please restore the page? Place Clichy (talk) 08:56, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No citations on 'Isabella I of Castile' page

Hello Deb, I was reading the 'Isabella I of Castile' page, saw your name in the edit history and couldn't help but notice that there was not one single citation on the entire page...

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Rick Springfield. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 20:57, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Rick Springfield , without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 13:08, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nope - not from my point of view. I thought it best to try and nip it in the bud though and get specifics so that these could be addressed and so the huge great banner could be removed as it was there since Feb 2009 I think.
I added some refs and hopefully the situation is resolved as per talk page :¬)
I will be removing the page from my watch list though at the end of todays session so hopefully things will continue in balance (although having seen that section after linking to it it leaves me thinking that also needs some attention lol)

Ship lauching

Hi there. Just to let you know that ship launching refers to the ship being launchned (or these days usually floated out) of drydock. Usually this is done before the ship's construction is fully completed, with the final fitting out sometimes continuing for several years after the launch. Therefore a ship can and usually is launched before she is (fully) built. Cheers — Kjet (talk · contribs) 10:49, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I suspected this, but I think the article was still wrongly phrased the way it was.
The wording as it was in the article was pretty much standard to all articles about ships. Plus the current wording is problematic as there's no source indicating when the building process begun. — Kjet (talk · contribs) 19:02, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'd certainly agree it's problematic!Deb (talk) 11:15, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Doubtless madam you consider yourself and your 'no' comment extremely clever! It happens that there is a Dr Who wiki page on Mr Town.

Could you please tell me what about the Dematic page that I created led you to determine that it was unambiguously advertising? That was not my intent when I created the page.

Russell T Davies

Wrong and wrong. There was no evidence of move-warring, and under WP:ENGVAR, WP:RETAIN, and WP:V, the article should be at "Russell T Davies", without the period, for two reasons: 1) the T doesn't stand for anything; and 2) even if it did, British English typically leaves out the period after an abbreviation. It's worth noting that neither Davies himself and Aldridge/Murray use the period when writing his full name. See also Talk:Russell T Davies/Archive 1#Middle Initial. Also, the act of protecting a page to your preferred version and in contravention of the protection policy is abuse of administrator tools, and if it isn't moved back, I will go to ANI about this. Sceptre (talk) 14:14, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, what move war? Last time it was moved was a year ago. And since we have probably-reliable sourcing saying that the T isn't an abbreviation, it doesn't need a period.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:01, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Except, you know, the last time it was moved, as Sarek pointed out, was a year ago. That's not "move-warring" under any definition of the term. And there is no rule that all moves must go through RM; that's stupid and too bureaucratic. And even LarRan, who moved the article last time, admitted that it could be at Russell T Davies, without the period, is if that could be verified, and it has been done. In any case, I'm raising this in a discussion at ANI; consider this your notification. Sceptre (talk) 18:32, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Deb, there is a discussion about this issue involving you at WP:AIN. Regards, Skomorokh 19:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Date linking

In the article 1974 in music, you edited some of the items in the Births list by Wikilinking the birth date. I reverted the date linking with the edit summary, "see WP:Linking#Chronological_items - birth dates have no relevant connection to other events on that date". You reverted my edit with the edit summary, "does not apply to Year in Topic". Can you please elaborate on that, because I don't understand what you mean. Also, could you please cite the Wikipedia guideline that substantiates your position and overrides WP:Linking#Chronological_items? Thanks, hulmem (talk) 03:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you plan to respond to my comments above? If not I will go ahead and revert your date linking edits in the 1974 in music article. Thanks, hulmem (talk) 19:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Goals Club has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No refs, nothing I can find referring to this term; appears to have been a spam link article. Was also deleted at Goals club

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

IC Manage

Deb, can you please take a look at a page I worked on that has been noted for deletion?

You reviewed another page of mine and found it met Wikipedia standards for notability based on citing sources in secondary publications. I used the same process for this new page and now someone proposed it for deletion. Wikipedia's notability criteria says you need multiple citations from independent secondary sources - which I did. Yet the admin requesting deletion is holding it to a standard of "will it be in the history books' in 200 years.

Can you take an independent look and post your feedback on the page? I spent a lot of time on the page and cited every comment from an outside source. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/IC_Manage

This seems to boil down to the whole argument of is Wikipedia inclusionary or exclusionary.

This process seems to be so subjective - no one is finding me a guideline I didn't meet, just subjective opinions when I believe I followed the stated rules.

Plus if you could help me understand how to help my case. Am I supposed to get people from my industry to read the page, create a Wikipedia account and comment?

I was planning on working on a lot more EDA pages (technology and companies), little by little over time, but want to feel that it's more stable before I do so!

Plus this same argument affects over 100 pages Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry and the revision control that is relevant to semiconductor designers.

Comment Thank you for your input Deb. If you have suggestions on anything that I should remove from the IC Manage page to make it less advertising-like, I will do so immediately. It's tough to show noteability without also sounding like you are promoting it, which is why I initially just put the facts up. I am trying to do this properly.

OK, sorry if you felt patronised. I have to say I'm surprised - yup, he's not into making huge content contributions, but he sure does help others tighten up the quality of their work. On a complete aside, my goodness me, you're a long-standing editor. It's not often I see someone still active whose earliest edits were swallowed up in the great data cockup in 2002. --Dweller (talk) 21:30, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure I've been here quite that long, but certainly not far off it. Yes, the lack of content is my main issue with that contributor, I'm afraid. Deb (talk) 21:33, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated List of nicknames for sports clubs and stadiums, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of nicknames for sports clubs and stadiums. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Falcadore (talk) 15:12, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wales

I have put the Wales article forward for GA status. It just needs tweaking, and maybe a heavy-handed swipe from outside to get it in place. I am writing to those who are constant contributors and defenders of Wales and Welsh articles, to not scream at me for doing this, but to help get the article through. If we fail, we fail, there is nothing wrong with that; but Wales should be a Good Article at least and if it takes good intentioned amateurs to reach that then so be it.

Rover 16 article deleted 2005

Dear Deb

Visual aid - one I appear to have prepared earlier

I see you deleted an entry on the Rover 16 (it's a car) in 2005 , but I am not sufficiently wiki-literate to have found an archive covering the reason why. Unless you have a much better memory than I do, I appreciate that you may not instantly have the faintest idea what I am writing about.

Anyhow, the car did exist and it does not have an entry of its own in English wiki. Today I photographed one, and having looked it up in a reputable (for car nuts) english language source, I am proposing to reinstate it, based on a translation from the German wiki (albeit leaving out a bit I am not sure I believe/correctly understand). The hope, naturally, is that the thing will wiki evolve into something bigger and better and more informative and I will end up learning something new and interesting about the car I just photographed.

Are you aware of any reason - presumably touching on whatever it was that motivated the deletion in 2005 - why I should not start a(nother) article on the Rover 16?

Plus thank you "im Voraus" for any further insights you can offer on whatever it was that happened in 2005.

Bobby Smith

Hi Deb, I was editing Booby Smith's article at the same time as you. According to THFC website here and other sources he passed away on 18th September while in Hospital in Enfield, London. Do you have a citation that he passed away on 19th September in Lingdale North Yorkshire? Tmol42 (talk) 12:06, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a reference etc and moved the text up so it is not left on its own after the quotation, cheers. Tmol42 (talk) 12:37, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Gurnz

Hey Deb, You just deleted the article i spent a while on about Peter Gurnz. I was planning on continuing improving it, but you deleted it five minutes after I made it, and now I can't get it back. Do you know where and how I can get it back so I can work on it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vader117 (talkcontribs) 20:01, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding, but you never answered my question. Can i get back the work i put into that page? I understand why you removed it, and i'm not contesting that. But I spent about an hour on it and I don't want to do all of that work again. Vader117 —Preceding undated comment added 17:13, 30 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Question Regarding The Children of Barbara Sidney, Countess of Leicester

Hi Deb,

I am interested in learning of the source of the information regarding Barbara Sidney's children. I am conducting some family research and Philip may be one of my ancestors. It has been said that he had a daughter named Alice. Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Article you deleted

It says you have 10 days to add a source before an article is deleted and mine was deleted within a matter of seconds. I was adding a source as soon as it was deleted. I want to add the article again and I have the source but it was deleted so fast I could not even add it. As soon as I added the article I got a deletion message within seconds. It said to add a source so I did, and it was already deleted within a few seconds.Bluesangrel (talk) 21:20, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

John Jones

Hi Deb,

I understand your concern about the hatnotes I removed. You may want to check out the guideline I cited to see why I removed them. No user who is looking for one John Jones would end up at an article about another. When a user types "John Jones" into the search bar, the user is provided immediately with a disambiguation page that lists all the people named "John Jones" about whom we have aritcles. No one looking for John Jones (Talysarn) would end up at John Jones (Tegid) because they would have been provided with the option of choosing between the two before arriving at the article. Even if they accidently chose the wrong one on the disambiguation page, they would know about the disambiguation page because they were just at it and they could easily just go back. If they arrived at the article via an internal link, they would have been directed to the correct article because that would have had to have been specified on the preceding article or else it would have directed them to the disambiguation page. Not disambiguating article names that are not ambiguous is an established editing guideline on Wikipedia. I hope I have explained the reasoning behind it clearly enough. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Neelix (talk) 20:02, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb,
After a second look, I think I see the problem. The three "John Jones" articles you pointed out are all named in opposition to Wikipedia's naming conventions. According to the appropriate guidelines, the portion at the end of an article's title that is surrounded by parentheses should either consist of "the generic class" or "the subject or context", not an alternate title for the article. As such, I have renamed the three articles. I hope that you will find this solution adequate. If you do not, please do not hesitate to leave another note on my talk page.
Neelix (talk) 14:00, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Deb,
It would appear that we disagree on several points relating to these articles. Let's deal with them one at a time. I notice that you re-added the hatnote to the Talhaiarn article. I have started a discussion on the talk page of that article here in order to get input from other editors. It would be greatly appreciated if you would state your position and rationale there in order to facilitate further discussion.

Spelling of word "Hemorrhage"

I don't understand why you reverted my edit of the word "hemorrhage." There is no such word as "haemorrhage." I am very careful in my spelling and grammar edits.

I suggest that you check the spelling of words before you revert edits.

It's because "archbishop" is not an order like "bishop", "priest" or "deacon". We disambiguate people on those terms first, then, if there is more than one bishop called John Smith, we dab by their highest title, so (Bishop of St Albans), (Bishop of Sodor) and (Archbishop of York) for instance. Vicar, chaplain, curate, bishop, archbishop, archdeacon, dean etc etc are all titles/positions, whereas there are only three clerical orders (at least in the Church of England) ✝DBD 16:59, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
