Yo!

Notable staff[edit]

Hi! I noticed that you re-added Saul and Stockwell to the RHUL page. Can you explain why you think these two are particularly notable, i.e. amongst the top handful or so of RHUL staff? I notice that out of the 9 staff members currently included, 4 are currently from the history department. This seems quite a few to me, given that the department (at #9 in the country) is very good but not spectacular. I agree with Champion and Cesarani, but not necessarily with Stockwell and Saul, but the stubs are good work and I would like to hear your reasoning before any potential reverts. To be honest, I'd personally favour scrapping that section completely- what do you think? Badgerpatrol 02:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Bedford College (London)[edit]

Page redirect[edit]

Hi. You redirected the page above incorrectly. By copying and pasting an article's content into another article, we lose all the page history, which is a GFDL requirement. Don't worry though, it's easy to fix! :) Seraphim♥ Whipp 00:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be grateful if you can help me move Bedford College (University of London) to Bedford College (London), for the reasons I've stated on Talk:Bedford College (London). Dorange (talk) 00:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I shall be delighted to do it the moment the page has been deleted. Also, I'll point to the correct procedure for the future? It's at Help:Merging and moving pages. Great work on the 'pedia by the way :) Seraphim♥ Whipp 00:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow; that was quick! So all fixed now. Happy editing! Seraphim♥ Whipp 00:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asian Universities Debating Championship[edit]

User:JJJ999 (sometimes editing as 122.148.218.27) is again using a Wikipedia article to make personal attacks against someone he doesn't like while claiming his comments are justified by dubious sources, just as he did during the Australian Capital Territory Debating Union dispute which we were both also involved in last year. You may want to have a look at Talk:Asian Universities Debating Championship and see if you have any comments. Purple Watermelon (talk) 07:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
