Re: comet article vandalism report...

I found you here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jesserich If you look at the history on the comet page, between this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comet&oldid=114730362 and this one by Jesserich: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comet&oldid=114829467 the article seems to have "reproduced" itself multiple times. I would try to fix it but I'm a bit a noob about that sort of thing. So I am leaving you this note, thinking you can fix it quickly and properly. Feel free to drop me a note at my talk page if you think I could have figured how to do it myself! Thanks much, human 02:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for bringing this issue to my attention; it has now been resolved. The issue you encountered was most likely caused by vandalism – intentionally unconstructive edits to the article. If in future you wish to fix such problems yourself, you can 'revert' the article to an earlier version that hasn't been tampered with. See Help:Reverting#How_to_revert.

Proposing an article for deletion

Hi Huw (I actually wrote "Hugh" and then went back to get rid of my typo. Sorry, silly me!) - I saw your message at Talk:Pars Society. I quite agree that it looked like deletable material, so I nominated it for deletion. You can enter the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pars Society; if you ever want to nominate an article for deletion there are instructions at WP:AFD. Cheers, TheGrappler 16:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Grappler! I see the AFD nom resulted in deletion. I'll try to do it on my own next time! Huw Powell 20:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Huw Powell. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Mpc logo.png) was found at the following location: User:Huw Powell/Model Products Corporation. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 06:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Clumsy. Thanks for the "warning". Luckily I still have the image on my hard drive. This was a sandbox version of an article I am trying to write. Image should stay on WP for the future use. Why not just inform me not to "display" it on my WIP page? Huw Powell 21:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Linda McCartney

She's waiting for a GA review, but go for it if you want to. :) --andreasegde (talk) 06:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll try to work gently, and only make the Article Gooder if I can! Huw Powell (talk) 20:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your work on Linda McCartney/wife-spouse of McCartney. I had hit a brick wall before your help. Muchos Gracias I think they say... --andreasegde (talk) 18:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, you are so welcome, it was my pleasure to try to to help. It's a difficult "head space" to work in, since most of us "know of her" because she was married to Paul. And in Beatlesworld, "McCartney" is, of course, Paul. It felt weird endlessly referring to him as a mere marital appendage, but it probably made more sense. I think I didn't do the last section yet, though. Huw Powell (talk) 20:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

RWs on WP!

Woooo! Another RationalWikian on Wikipedia! --RA ^{talk stalk} 20:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

...Hey, how come you got a formal welcome to Wikipedia, while I just got a warning? --RA ^{talk stalk} 20:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Because I didn't make my only revertable edit (at Spinal Tap, as I recall, but it might have been at the IRS Comic Strip's "Bad News") until after I was welcomed! Huw Powell (talk) 20:54, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
