Nice to see you adding all that material on Gilsland. I went there just the other day, but I don't know much about it. Deb 17:29, 4 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Another welcome

St. Magdalene's Church

edit

Hello. Moving the page from "St. Magdalene's Church" to the place you moved it was not appropriate. From your comment, I understand your sentiment that there are many churches with the same name, but in naming pages, the first available name is used then any subsequent pages have disambiguation. For example, if a chain of stores opened in Dallas named "Woo-Hoo" and an article was created, the name of the article would be simply "Woo-Hoo" if there were no existing articles by that name. If a company developed a software by the same name and an article was created after the previous, then the title of that article would be "Woo-Hoo (software)."

If you have any questions, please see Wikipedia is not a directory. Cheers! Stella BATPHONEGROOVES 02:55, 5 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

That is actually not at all how we decide which article has the disambiguating parenthesis, and I have no idea what the "not a directory" policy has to do with this. There's a disambiguation page at St. Mary Magdalene's Church and a whole bunch of churches there, so I think Rnorve's move was correct, although there might be other issues. Why not add St. Mary Magdalene's Church, Gilsland to St. Mary Magdalene's Church? —User talk:ErikHaugen 04:33, 5 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hey! I accepted your submission because it was of interest and notable enough to be worth including. You seem to be relatively familiar with the Cumbria area, so I trust that you know enough about it to write a pretty good article about this local landmark. However, the one thing I wasn't sure about was the amount of references. I think that as you continue to work on this article, which you will of course, right? -- you should definitely work on adding citations -- WP:Referencing for beginners is a good place to start if you're lost. Anyways, that's definitely something you want to get started on, or it might get thrown to the people down at WP:Articles for Deletion, which is somewhere you don't want to go. Anyway, congratulations, and good luck. Icy // 04:19, 5 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a Bunch

Maybe if Wikipedia moderators focused on the utility of articles rather than petty regulations, and actually understood the regulations they apply, a lot of the above verbiage, some of which has been deleted, might have been avoided.
