Disambiguation link notification for January 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2015 Challenge Cup, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nottingham Outlaws. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Regarding deletion of the Beyond the Page Theatre Company page
I'm still in the process of editing. For references, I'm still trying to figure everything out, but thank you for letting me know to focus on that. As for whether the Company is more than a local theatre company, I mentioned in my article that the Company has been nominated to participate in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emma.norville (talk • contribs) 15:13, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Emma, great - then hopefully you have some international references that can be added. Depending on their participation at the Fringe a lot of UK papers review Fringe productions. Nthep (talk) 15:19, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
The company has been nominated, they have not gone yet. They will attend this summer. I will be sure to include links as soon as I can. Thank you! Also, in regards to an earlier comment, how do I make my sources less weak? Emma.norville (talk) 17:18, 15 January 2015 (UTC)Emma.norville
@Emma.norville:, looking at some of the references they are little more than passing mentions. For example this one is just a notice that the performances are happening. What is needed are reviews of the show and the company. The awards show you've got talent so there should be sources that tell readers that. Nthep (talk) 20:46, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
@Emma.norville: I've had another read and I'm still not sure. Perhaps this is a case of too soon and after the Edinburgh trip the answer might be different. However one thing you should do is make your contribution at the deletion discussion stating why you think the coverage you have found meets the notability criteria. At the moment no-one is speaking in favour of the article and without any positive voice the result will be delete the article. Nthep (talk) 09:32, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Do What Thou Wilt
Thank you, I was a little lost there trying to blindly navigate around the edit page.
I would like to make further contributions to the above page, only I am not acquainted with the licensing laws and requirements. I merely wish to put Muther Rose unto her rightful place and include the specifics surrounding the reception of The Book of The Law, of which she is a key figure that has suffered to the neglect of those that study
A Crowley. I don't wish to fabricate in anyway and I have the original publications that detail the Genesis of The Book of The Law. I would appreciate any advice that might keep me from being thrown out before I have even started and I am more than willing to submit all contributions prior to feeding the machine.
Love Is The Law
@NwBead:, you can add anything you like as long as it is reliably sourced but when you add a date that doesn't exist - November does not have 31 days - then that inaccuracy has to be removed. If you have a source that says she died in November 1932 then please add it to the article. Nthep (talk) 23:18, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:UK-Ogl-symbol.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

Please do, it caught my attention because it was mentioned in a book of railway miscellany and stories; and the only good source I could find was the inquiry into its loss. Nthep (talk) 23:20, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
Lucy Beatrice Moore
Thanks for your recent help on this article. As regards your query concerning the citation, I was attempting to include the title of the chapter in the book. The chapter is called "The Two Lucies." I'm unsure of whether this was also the title of Moore's lecture. As I was using the cite book template I'm now unsure how to add in this piece of information back into the citation appropriately. Sorry! I'm still very much a beginner when it comes to Wikipedia markup. Anyway, thanks again for your assistance. It was much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ambrosia10 (talk • contribs) 10:00, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for using VisualEditor and sharing your ideas with the developers.
Hello, Nthep,
The Editing team is asking for your help with VisualEditor. I am contacting you because you were one of the very first testers of VisualEditor, back in 2012 or early 2013. Please tell them what they need to change to make VisualEditor work better for you. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too.
You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.
More information (including a translateable list of the questions) is posted on wiki at mw:VisualEditor/Survey 2015. If you have questions, or prefer to respond on-wiki, then please leave a message on the survey's talk page.
Hello, you just deleted a picture of my Uncle (Chris Matthews), that I have full permission to use. I stated in my form that he is my family and I have personal permission to use the photo. Please reverse the deletion.
@KZacrep: You gave the source as Twitter and there was no evidence of permission. Permission is required from the copyright holder (normally the photographer) and it needs to be submitted using the process laid out at WP:CONSENT. Nthep (talk) 19:54, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
Great..thanks.
Is there a reason you deleted the edits I made to add his family information, such as his children, in the appropriate space?
