Thanks!
I was unable to see that in my studies, however, I will take a look. Also, if anyone was rude or angry it was the person who made that remark. There was no need for it. If you and rest disagreed you could have simply just fixed it and kindly mentioned reasons on my talk page.
No, I will not be editing that page because if there is one thing being a rational person has taught me. You can not rationalize with irrational people, so it is useless to argue and get into a big fight someone who makes such rude comments.
But, thank you again! RosePlantagenet 18:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:CharlesRobertSpencer.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:CharlesRobertSpencer.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 13:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Wikimedia Commons
I noticed you re-uploaded an image of George VI to Wikipedia from the Wikimedia Commons, but it is not necessary. In fact, that is the exact opposite of what you should be doing! :) The Wikimedia Commons is a repository for images that can be used on all Wikimedia projects, including the english Wikipedia. The file name of the image there can be used here and it will still work. For example, click the image of George VI to the right and you will see that it says that it is from the Commons.
So, for future reference, it is not necessary to re-upload Commons images. Also, please consider uploading all of your images to the Commons (as long as they are public ___domain or free to use) so they may be used in all languages, Wikinews, Wikiquote, and so on. Thanks. --tomf688 (talk - email) 03:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
6th earl?
I've removed the tag as the image has to be deleted from Commons, not here. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Catch-22
Thanks for your input into Catch-22 and character articles. Although you probably have, make sure you read through all the talk on Catch-22 about what we are trying to achieve with the Characters/Article.
I agree with the merging or Nately's Whore's kid sister into Nately's Whore - in fact it is likely that it will be merged into Nately anyway. If possible use the Character Template suggested by Wikiproject:Novels [1] - obviously a cut down version for minor characters (e.g. Major —— de Coverly) and major characters (e.g. Orr (Catch-22)).
Also I dont think the list should be merged. As explained in the talk, I believe the list in the main article is far too long and needs to be cut down to only the top 10/15 major characters - those who the main themes revolve around. The external list can then list all the characters for those that are interested. Given time I will do this myself, though it you wanted to help out that would be great.

P.S. The main reason that I have not merged relevant characters already is that I did not want to until I wrote a decent article for each first.
Irish Parliamentary Party
Hi, About your revert to James Burke Roche, 3rd Baron Fermoy. The categorisation and naming of 19th century Irish political parties and politicians is very inconsistent. You insist that Burke was not Irish Parliamentary Party, but Nationalist Party (Ireland). Yet, if you look at the articles on both they are describing the same organisation. Both articles state that the IPP and NP split in 1890 and remained divided until 1900.
In the United Kingdom general election, 1895 article, for example, there is no distinction made between candidates nominated by the Irish National Federation or the Irish National League.
As it stands (well until last night when I started to make more accurate categorisations), the Category:Nationalist Party (Ireland) politicians was being used wildly to include people from Issac Butt to Joseph Devlin.
What I'm proposing is to try and establish where MPs stood and to categorise them accordingly into Category:Anti-Parnellite MPs and Category:Parnellite MPs, which are sub-categories of Category:Irish Parliamentary Party MPs. On top of that, we should stop using the generic label applied to all Irish politicians from 1880 (Nationalist), and try to use the names of the organisations that actually existed (such as IPP).--Damac 17:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
All-for-Ireland League
Hello, I wish to acknowledge with appreciation your concern for detail under the above image which page I also set up together with D.D. Sheehan and most of O'Brien. I find the inclusion on the O'Brien page fine as he founded the party. I avoided including the image in Sheehan due to overcrowding it and taking from his central work for land reform and rural housing. I am inclined to wish to remove the image from his page again but first want to check out your view as you have done nice work in linking names and categories correctly, thank you.

- Thank you for your understanding reply: I have instead just repositioned the image a block higher up, where I feel it looks less constricting. All the best. Osioni 12:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I see two small problems: you replaced John Walsh Cork South with O'Donnell which is not correct, according to Walker's Parliamentary Results in Ireland, 1801-1922. I only see a Thomas O'Donnell in West Kerry, who was an Independent (sympathetic to O'Brien). It would have to have been a Cork constituency anyway as the AFILs were all Cork MPs in 1910, Tim Healy definitely Cork NE in a 1911 by-electon replacing Moreton Frewen (Healy was defeated in Louth in 1910) !! Can you please re-research further and correct. Osioni 13:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- To your suggestion, I would prefer to keep the image simple and only list the AFIL as its MP representatives stood after the second election December 1910 and by-election 1911. I would ignore O'Donnell, or mentioning Tim Healy previously in Louth (under the image). Such details concerning the January election should be inserted on the history page of the AFIL I agree, otherwise there is too much conflicting detail under the image which is not the best place to detail both elections.

George V and Nicholas II
Look, this is not just my opinion. It's hard to find a book on either man that doesn't mention the resemblance. Your contention that they do not, in the absence of an actual published source, is original research. And the two were first cousins. Are you really denying any family resemblance? Their mothers looked very alike, as well. john k 16:30, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
That the two men physically resembled each other is not to say anything about their political views, which were indeed different (although people have often suggested that Nicholas would have been a good constitutional monarch of England - he just had the misfortune to think it was his duty to be an absolute despot of Russia). And they look way more alike than either looks like Ferdinand of Bulgaria. And I don't see how it's potentially racist to note that two first cousins physically resembled each other. I'm no longer sure what's actually at stake in the article, but I still don't think we should say that they didn't actually look similar unless you can find a source which says that. john k 14:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
George V of the United Kingdom
Thank you for removing the comma that I carelessly left in when I was changing the order of the words. ElinorD 17:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Featured article review
I noticed your posts at Featured article review (FARs). It isn't encouraged to post so many FARs at the same time. FAR doesn't simply have the resources to cope with so many. I hope you can understand this. LuciferMorgan 09:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I second LuciferMorgan. Can you manage to review all of those simultaneously? — Indon (reply) — 09:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yes; we cannot review so many at a time. Perhaps you can place one at a time; as the backlog clears, you can gradually add them. That way, they can get a correct treatment. Thanks. — Deckiller 09:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
