Wikipedia talk:Account deletion

message: Is it true that user accounts can't be deleted, even if they have no edits? Just to make the question concrete, I'm thinking of the growing number of User:Faethon accounts, many of which were created disruptively. Gazpacho 01:49, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I created an account as 'johnkershaw' which came up as 'Johnkershaw' (cap J).
So I created a new account called 'John Kershaw'. 
I realise in retrospect I should've got my account renamed, but now that it's done, how do I get rid of the first 'Johnkershaw' account?
Sorry to be so dumb.

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: Regarding this section, 
"Some commentators, following publisher Tom Maschler, who edited a collection of political-literary essays by the "Angries" (Declaration, 1957), divided them into three groups:
1.The New University Wits (a term applied by William Van O'Connor in his 1963 study The New University Wits and the End of Modernism), Oxbridge malcontents who explored the contrast between their upper-class university privilege and their middle-class upbringings. They included Kingsley Amis, Philip Larkin, and John Wain, all of whom were also part of the poetic circle known as The Movement. 
2.Writers mostly of lower-class origin concerned with their political and economic aspirations. Some of these were left-wing and some were right-wing. They included John Osborne (whose play Look Back in Anger is a basic "Angries" text), Harold Pinter, John Braine, and Alan Sillitoe. William Cooper, the early model AYM, though Cambridge-educated was a "provincial" writer in his frankness and material and is included in this group. 
3.A small group of young existentialist philosophers led by Colin Wilson and also including Stuart Holroyd and Bill Hopkins."

I posted about this on the independent basketball schools discussion page...

They're already listed on the list of FCS football programs article and are listed as "Independent"...
Honestly, I didn't know their first two years will be in the FCS subdivision, though on their athletic wikipedia article, it says that they'll be playing a full Sun Belt conference and will actually be part of the conference itself, which is why I find it confusing that they'll be FCS independent for their first two years then jump straight into the SBC in their first year of FBS play...

Talk:Casualty

message: I just WikiGnomed a bit of stuff and after deliberation, I removed the description of Casualty (TV series) as "the world's longest running emergency medical drama".  It could be true now, but it might not be in the future, and if it changes in the future, the chances that anyone will think to come to this page and update are pretty small.  If we try to weigh that problem against the problems with not listing that superlative on this page -- well, there aren't any.  No one is going to say "Hey, I'm looking for the article about the British emergency medical drama called Casualty which is the longest-running in the world, but this can't be the article I'm looking for -- sure, it's a British emergency medical drama called Casualty, but there's no sign it's the longest-running!" -- 65.78.13.238 (talk) 14:19, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  John Cudmore or Cutmore? 

message: In the "Death" section, an IP editor has added (and I have removed):
:Squizzy’s downfall came in sensational circumstances during a shoot out with Sydney rival John Daniel ‘Snowy’ Cutmore (Coburg Cemetery) on 27 October 1927 at 50 Barkly Street, Carlton.  The circumstances of the shooting have become shrouded in mystery even though the coroner settled the matter by finding a simple fatal gun duel between two opposing criminals.  This was in spite of the Eibar “Destroyer” .32 calibre used to shoot Squiz being found under the picket fence of a house in McArthur Square some 200 paces from the house while the Melbourne Truth contended that three more bullets than what could have been discharged by the revolvers of Cutmore and Taylor were fired.  Were Squiz and Cutmore knocked off in one go?

The list should only have the shows and its characters residing in Los Angeles, not the characters visiting it or shows that were made in it: those don't count. A correct example would be Yotally Spies: since its characters reside in Los Angeles, the show they're in has to be set in it.

message: I made a significant structural change, & thought I should explain myself. In an early version of the page, the then-current states were grouped by their correspondence with the larger provinces of British colonial times. Over time, these were groupings were replaced with other historical associations. The most recent version associated collections of states with historical kingdoms of renown. This is a great way to look at Sudanese history. However, given that the focus of this page is on administrative divisions, I don't think it's an appropriate way to organise the information. Furthermore, it was impossible to do accurately as these historical entities were not contemporary, and had a great deal of geographical overlap, nor did they have stable boundaries. I do think it would be entirely appropriate to add a new section explaining which states were within the realms of which historical polities at particular times.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I received this fortune today, maybe somebody would like to incorporate it into the article:
 In modern Europe, as in ancient Greece, it would seem that even inanimate
 objects have sometimes been punished for their misdeeds.  After the revocation
 of the edict of Nantes, in 1685, the Protestant chapel at La Rochelle was
 condemned to be demolished, but the bell, perhaps out of regard for its value,
 was spared.  However, to expiate the crime of having rung heretics to prayers,
 it was sentenced to be first whipped, and then buried and disinterred, by way
 of symbolizing its new birth at passing into Catholic hands.  Thereafter it
 was catechized, and obliged to recant and promise that it would never again
 relapse into sin.  Having made this ample and honourable amends, the bell was
 reconciled, baptized, and given, or rather sold, to the parish of St.
 Bartholomew.  But when the governer sent in the bill for the bell to the
 parish authorities, they declined to settle it, alleging that the bell, as
 a recent convert to Catholicism, desired to take advantage of the law lately
 passed by the king, which allowed all new converts a delay of three years in
 paying their debts.

message: The claim that Rochelle was the last city liberated is dubious. It, like Saint-Nazaire and Dunkirk, is a commune. So the issue is (imho) what is the justification to call it a "city" in 1945 but not Dunkirk or St-Naz? This claim, it seems to me, rests on the exclusion of the two LATER liberated communes from being "cities" and need objective justification - and explanation. If the editors CAN justify the claim, then the FACT that both Dunkirk and Saint-Nazaire were still German-occupied on May 7-8, 1945 should be mentioned so as not to mislead.98.21.68.176 (talk) 12:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
