- I've removed you, but you could have removed yourself. Secretlondon 04:34, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you,
Thank you for checking over my spelling on my User page. I have to admit I am not the best speller out there and I thank you for looking over it for me. An Apfel a day keeps -The Doctor- Away.. Or does it! (talk)(contribs) 04:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Suggestion
Please don't link every common word in articles. It gets kind of annoying, doesn't it? And here is a real link that discusses the topic in more detail. Thanks. --Russ (talk) 14:17, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
I have added Internal Links to this article. Kathleen.wright5 14:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- You can over-do the links. A lot of the links you made don't link to anything. Do you plan to write articles for them all, or do you think anyone else will. Some of them, like the link to Walker have nothing to do with Private Walker -- SteveCrook 14:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- And I agree entirely with --Russ and -- SteveCrook as I've just spent half an hour removing or redirecting your wikilinks in just one section of this article which went to disambiguation pages or the wrong place! Curb your enthusiasm please and TRY wikilinks once you have created them to see where they lead..... Zir 15:45, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Internal Links Removed
I have removed most of the Internal Links at "Lost in Space". Kathleen.wright5 10:55, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you - whilst I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, might I suggest that after a good start you've been going a bit OTT recently. If you revisit some of the pages in your contributions where you have "Added Internal Links" and take a look at the Discussion page you'll find comments under the one that you left (and not just my comments).
- In particular take a look at your recent edits to The Salvation Army which hasn't been reverted (yet) - at one point under The Flag, for instance, it says "The red on the flag symbolizes the blood shed by Christ". ← Try these links - it's pure comedy - but not meant to be.
- Can't stress enough that you don't over-link and thoroughly TEST any wikilinks that you do create. Your last edits ABC Television go to a Disambiguation Page (dab) rather than to ABC Television (Australia) where they are meant to.
- Best of luck & tread carefully as some people can be very proprietorial about articles..... Zir 12:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Esanda
Is this what you're looking for? Esanda Finance Corporation Ltd
A previous article, Esanda Finance, was deleted because it did not assert the notability of the company. I'm afraid the new article will be deleted soon too unless it is expanded. Every article in Wikipedia must have a notable subject. Mere existence is sufficient. The guidelines for notability for companies can be found in WP:CORP. Try to find articles about the company and ways in which it has been recognized by 3rd-parties.
The other articles you're looking for are:

State leaders by year
Would you please explain what you are doing to the State leaders by year article. Assuming that you are making good faith edits, important wikilinks to articles for each individual year individual are being incorrectly removed. This article is actually an index to all of the detailed articles, arranged by year. If you need help with this, please let me know by responding here. This talk page is on my watchlist so I will see when you make a response. Thanks. Truthanado 02:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- I see you are trying to remove red links. Although it is normally a good idea to do that, in this article, the red links are okay. Eventually, someone will create articles for the red-link years. Apologizing for the time you have spent on this, I suggest you revert the article to the version before you started your edits today. If you need help doing that, let me know. Truthanado 02:20, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Please stop trying to remove the red links in this article. All of the effort you are spending will probably be reverted. In this article, it is OKAY to have red links because there will eventually be articles written to correctly wikilink to. Truthanado 02:27, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Let me help with the revert you've started. You don't need to undo each one individually. I'll do it for you and then explain, okay? Truthanado 02:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- The article has been reverted to just before you started your edits today. Here is what I did; this works for any article. Open the history page and click on the article you want to revert to. In this case, that is:
- (cur) (last) 01:51, 21 July 2007 Singularity (Talk | contribs) (220,066 bytes) (afd closed, keep) (undo)
- When that version of the article opens, click edit this page, enter the reason for the revert in the Edit summary and click Save page. Presto. Article is reverted. Undo works best for reverting just 1 edit. BTW, I notice from your user page that you are in Australia. A nice country, I've been there a few times on business, Brisbane and Perth. Cheers. Truthanado 02:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Could you tell me where I can find the "REDLINKS to be removed department"? I don't think this article should be included. I suspect it may have been included by a BOT who just blindly looks for red links. Truthanado 02:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- As I suspected, Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery/Most red links#Overview shows that this list is automatically generated (meaning a human doesn't do it or peruse the results). Note the second paragraph, which describes the situation for this article:

- "While it is perfectly valid to have a red link to a topic that will one day have an encyclopaedic article of its own, some articles may contain red links to topics that never will (or should!) exist. If any of the articles below do this, correct them then remove from the list."
- The Wikipedia community appreciates your work to reduce the number of red links in articles. Unfortunately, this article is one that doesn't need to be fixed. There are many others ... happy hunting. Truthanado 03:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Re: Please Extend Article
- Hmm, Well I'll try my best, I'm not farmiliar with that though but I wouldn't mind doing a bit of research. If it does get deleted though I'll save a copy of it as a sub off my userpage. I'll add a link here under this when I finally add it and please feel free to add to it. An Apfel a day keeps -The Doctor- Away.. Or does it! (talk)(contribs) 00:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Re: Added Esanda History Website
So far I am writing up a short thing using my own words but I think it might be a good idea maybe even to talk to the PR officer of the company even if just sending an email. I've found no other websites so far but I'll keep on looking. An Apfel a day keeps -The Doctor- Away.. (talk)(contribs) 00:00, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Re: Where to find Contents Template?
Well, It's automatically added when you have four or more headlines I believe. An Apfel a day keeps -The Doctor- Away.. (talk)(contribs) 01:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Radio Stations
Hi Kathleen
I notice that you are adding categories to radio stations. This is unnecessary as the articles are already in narrower categories. You may find that other editors may remove this category later, I won't bother myself! Graeme Bartlett 23:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- And some might get concerned that there are more templates than info in some stubs! - cheers SatuSuro 14:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed.. Muzzamo 23:47, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
ICU and green cross
I though about it, Kathleen, and it would have taken me about 60 seconds to change the original. But I decided to go with something a little more distinctive. Besides, a green cross probably violates some other UN resolution or something. Plus I'm a M*A*S*H fan. :-) - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Local Radio articles
I switched them back because the main ABC template was just meant to be related to the divisions and those kind of things. I did, however, add a 'See Also' section to the existing template with links to other relevant articles. timgraham 00:17, 4 October 2007 (UTC) 11:18, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Clock
Not sure what you mean about the clock incident? I'm assuming you tried to use the clock on my page? It's free, it just has to be userfied. Go to User:Allstarecho/Clock, click edit this page, copy all of the code there, go to User:Kathleen.wright5/Clock and create the page, paste the code, change anywhere you see my user name to your own user name, then anywhere you see +5 hours you'll need to change to match your time. I don't know the time offset of exactly where you are but I think it's +10 hours from GMT. You'll have to fiddle with that. Once your all done, place it anywhere you want it on your user page and/or talk page with {{User:Kathleen.wright5/Clock}} :) -- ALLSTAR ECHO 15:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Using the "Show preview" button
Hi, Can I suggest that you use the "show preview" button before making a series of changes? It is much easier to look at the revision history for an article. A good example of where you have not done this would be your edits to the article Life FM (Adelaide). Muzzamo 23:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Kathleen, I noticed that you have done this again in the article Cruise_1323. Could you please take more care? Muzzamo 06:56, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
UNno!
Howzit Kathleen, I was wondering around and stumbled on your user page. I was interested to see a button saying that you favour the abolition of the United Nations, and was just curious to know why. (If you feel like telling me you can do it by clicking on my name, and adding a section on my discussion page, as I have done to your page.) Adam Brink 13:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
No no no! Don't remove it on my account! I am not an administrator, and will never be one as I (1) don't have the time; (2) am happy to let other people do it. Even if was I would not be able to remove anything from your user page, and anyway: you have a right to free expression, and should exercise it how you please. I was telling the truth when I said that I was simply curious. You have many buttons reflecting views that I am sympathetic to and simply wondered what the UN one was all about. I've never really thought about its role in the WMD thing was. As I recall though, Hans Blix was UN appointed; and the whole reason why there is a 'Coalition of the Willing' (*sigh*, who came up with that name?) was because the UN had _not_ allowed itself to be bullied by the US. But perhaps you are right, and I don't suggest we should arm wrestle about it. I will say though that in my part of the world (Sub-Saharn Africa) the UN does phenomenal work through the WHO, ILO and the UNHCR. I realise they could do better in geo-political matters, but I don't think they don't try - the US is just too powerful. Adam Brink 15:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

for teaching me a new stub type. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 14:20, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Banksia Park
Problem was a reference without a close /ref tag (may have originally been my fault, I didn't bother to check the history). Seems to be fixed now. Orderinchaos 04:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
page-blanking
I don't quite follow the thinking behind this edit. If a redirect target is wrong, then by all means point it to a more appropriate page, or replace it with more appropriate content (for example, a disambiguation page). If it's completely inappropriate for it to exist at all, list it at WP:RFD. Just blanking it isn't a good option, as it retains the page, and it then ends up cluttering up special:uncategorizedpages, and the like. Hope that's of some help. Alai 17:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

ICU deleted articles
Just remove them from the main page, I suppose. I don't think there's any need to build a sort of Wiki-graveyard. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
regarding your geo-coordinates tags
Thank you for tagging the articles. I hope that you will continue to do so, because it makes it easier for me to add coordinates if I know what articles are missing. Thanks again! Sseballos 19:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- When specifying a value for the "date" parameter in a maintenance tag (such as {{locateme}}), please remember to specify the month and the year, to ensure that pages are placed into the proper categories. Thanks, Black Falcon (Talk) 04:38, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey! Just wanted to say that I'm pleased as punch to see you're doing some work on this. I started this project years ago, and kind of lost sight of it. But I think it's a good and important thing to keep track of templates with red links for many reasons (not the least of which is avoiding junk!) I'd like to see the project rebooted from the most recent database dump. What do you think? Cheers! bd2412 T 10:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I have asked Beland (the techie who set it up in the first place) to reboot. So, hopefully there will soon be a brand new and up to date list of templates with redlinks to work from. I will offer you whatever guidance I can from my previous experience working on this project. Cheers again! bd2412 T 08:47, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hey, Wikipedia:Templates with red links is officially up and running anew - check out the seventy-seven pages of templates with redlinks generated in the most recent database dump! You are now (as of this moment) officially in charge of this project. Congratulations, and cheers! bd2412 T 04:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Prophets
Please don't add to the P's in C category people who are already in the sub-cat Category:Prophets of the Hebrew Bible. Thank you. Johnbod (talk) 08:22, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- I came here to say the same thing. Category:Prophets of the Hebrew Bible is a sub-category of both category:Prophets in Christianity and category:Prophets in Judaism. See WP:SUBCAT: "In straightforward cases an article should not be in both a category and its subcategory."
- The main point of the Hebrew Bible categories is to avoid unnecessary duplication of categories for subjects that are relevant to both Judaism and Christianity. I hope this is helpful. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:13, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, many thanks for that. I'm not sure how reliable that 2nd group are - it has Nebuchadrezzar II but what about all his dinner-guests? Johnbod (talk) 21:03, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

An atheist guy as a prophet of Christianity... hmmm...
I added a citation needed tag in the list. As in "sez who?". elpincha (talk) 03:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey :) I notice you have been adding the banner to some of the talk pages of articles currently not covered by the project, Thank you! If you like, feel free to also assess them when adding them to the talk pages. It does not take long to get the idea of the assessment system. Doing the assessment at the same time as tagging takes a lot less time than tagging the page, and then someone else assessing them. If you don't want to, you don't have to, just an idea for if you had not thought about it. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Thanks again, Tiddly-Tom 18:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- The |importance= parameter still remains. Also, for people to assess articles they will look here. How are they to know, without looking through all the articles which need to be assessed and which don't? I am not saying you have to, but just explaining the consequences fully for other editors.

Hi Kathleen, lovely to hear from you. I'd say it can be discharged from ICU. I wouldn't take all the tags off though. It has many references now but could do with more. We could keep on the tag for an expert too. And the merger could be done. A good example of improvement through co-operation I'd say. ICU can move on to the more difficult cases. All the best. Itsmejudith (talk) 11:49, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'll help you on that article. But we have a more general problem that the initial enthusiasm for the ICU seems to have waned. Either the original members have to start paying attention again or we have to get some new members. How about if you and I jointly write a message to all the members gently chivvying them up? Itsmejudith (talk) 08:56, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Specifically in regard to Esanda, I don't think it meets the notability criteria. I can't find any non-trivial external references to it. It gets 815 google hits but most are listings in business directories. Can we agree to tag it for merge with its parent company? Itsmejudith (talk) 09:08, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- How about a joky message "Calling all clinicians! Can you help clear the Intensive Care Unit backlog? Some patients are lingering in the unit and the beds are needed for new urgent cases. Please come and use your bold editing skills." And we would also add a message to the ICU talk page explaining that we felt that a backlog was developing and that was why we needed to send the message. What do you think? Itsmejudith (talk) 09:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Banner clutter
Hi, I noticed you've been busy adding {{WPE}} to lots of London stuff. I've given up arguing against parent project tagging of their offshoots! - but, since everyone is now multiply tagging London articles, could I ask you to use {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} to collapse the banners, we have a ridiculous situation where many articles now have more adopters than sections in the articles. Cheers Kbthompson (talk) 11:48, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you, much appreciated ... hopefully the next round - architects, I reckon - will have the good grace to use the BannerShell, and not just 'bot' the lot ... cheers, and good luck with your corner of wiki. Kbthompson (talk) 23:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
