Hi. Obviously you're an expert as you live in St Neots. But why did you change the link on the St Neots page from Saint Neot back to St Neot (which is a redirect page). The page for the saint is at Saint Neot, just like Saint Andrew and Saint George and all the other saints. Mintguy 07:22, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Hi Chris, I just noticed that you deleted my little joke under the Cirencester page (e.g., "people who are resistant to change like lawyers"). Did I offend someone? -- llywrch 23:43, 12 Oct 2003 (UTC)
That's probably my fault. I noticed your edits around the area, and decided to write a little article about this town, if only to note it has a funny pronunciation. Should have realised you might be doing one yourself. ;) Morwen 13:01, 6 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Chris, just so you know, the counties issue is a real hot potato. 80.255 is a contibutor I've clashed with more than once: he's fought on this before and the current usage (as exemplified at Godmanchester) though awkward and desperately unclear to the average reader, is the furthest compromise he will allow. I personally feel that 80.255 is probably not willing to discuss this, but I wish you the best of luck. Frankly, I think that 80.255's insistence on this issue is harmful to WP, because it leaves us with a multitude of confusing articles that desperately try to keep afloat a county scheme that is long forgotten, something like converting all prices into the old system in a London cafe--"that'll be 10 of the traditional shillings (or just 50p from the coins in your purse)". And I say this as an Anglophile who loves the old counties and old English pound as much as anyone...possibly even 80.255. I'll keep an eye on the discussion, and we'll both hope for the best, eh?

Hello Chris, Please don't post comments on my (or probably anyone else's) user page; I've moved them (and replied) on my talk page. Thanks, 80.255 01:07, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Hello I have added an explanation note to the counties naming policy at Wikipedia: Naming conventions (places). I have done this to make it clearer because certain people have insisted upon mis-interpreting it (see Shipston-on-Stour and Talk:Gloucestershire). I dont think it has changed the policy just explained it better.
It has already been OK'd by User:Angela and User:Warofdreams, is it OK with you?. The reason I'm contacting you is because you voted on the original policy. G-Man 17:08, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:KingsCollege.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks, Kbh3rd 04:15, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi Chris - thanks for the note - I do have a tendancy to jump in with two left feet - must curb that - it's hard being bold but not daft! All the best - kind regards :) Brookie:A glow in the dark 13:58, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
I've noticed your spat with Owain. From my experience he seems to be intent on completely ignoring the policy and adding "X is in the traditional county of" to just about every Welsh town (look at the history of Cardiff, Porthmadog, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Welshpool) I've tried arguing with him but to no avail. He doesn't seem to understand that he cant just ignore the policy because he doesn't agree with it, and keeps arguing over old ground.
Frankly I'm fairly exasperated with endless reverts, I dont know whether you have any ideas to deal with him, as arguing seems to get nowhere. G-Man 18:43, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi all, July's collaboration of the month is Northumberland, which needs quite a lot more work than last month's. I've listed some basic places to start on Talk:Northumberland, and will get to work looking up the statistics this week. (If you're not interested in further COTM updates, amend your listing in the table on WP:UK geo.) Joe D (t) 30 June 2005 22:58 (UTC)
See the argument going on at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography. G-Man 5 July 2005 21:24 (UTC)
Take a look at what Owain has been doing at Middlesex and Herefordshire. He has also been adding a traditional counties infobox to numerous counties. Which looks suspiciously like a subtle attempt at POV pushing. G-Man 19:41, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Take a look at Shipston-on-Stour the history and the talk page. G-Man 22:55, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
As it's sometimes considered bad form to get into 'third-party' arguments on other users' talk pages, I'm responding to your comments made to me on User_talk:Owain here:
I didn't consider that G-Man's activities on the Shipston article were in any designed to 'calm things down'. Although the article was completely in compliance with current policy, he insisted on repeatedly adding a piece of completely unsubstantiated POV for, as far as I could judge, the sole reason of peeving me and starting an edit war, despite repeated attempts at compromise on my part. Yes, I do believe he is 'twisting' the policy, although he has accused me of exactly the same thing, using exactly the same word, so I don't feel that your criticism of my using the word 'twist' is very even-handed!
Several people can hold the same unique view - it is unique because it differs from all other views.
I was speaking figuratively, of course. I felt (and still feel) that he was attempting to deliberately downplay and disparage the historic county for reasons solely pertaining to his own POV.
I agree that calmness and politeness are indeed needed. Tell me, do you think that the following comment is constructive?
Or his recent comment to User:Owain (3 July 2005 11:26):
Or his recent ad hominem attack on me, completely behind my back:
— not exactly calm and polite! And whereas I grant you that I do use strong (piquant) statements from time to time, I do not feel that it is fair to characterise me as being the sole perpetrator of such statement-making. Although you, differing in your own POV, probably don't notice it, I do get an awful lot of provocation from some people on this matter and, believe me, I excercise a great deal of restraint in my responses to it! 80.255 00:03, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm sorry for butting in, but I've added the above notes, to set the record straight. But if people are going to make accusations against me, I feel it is right to have my chance to answer them.
And 80,255 no I am not trying to to deliberately downplay and disparage the historic county for reasons solely pertaining to my own POV. I am merely attempting to ensure that the WP adequatly reflects the de facto reality, and does not display misleading or confusing information. G-Man 21:38, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Could you please take a look at a couple of pages related to the term gates? I am writing you because you have edited a few times the Sluice article. I was looking for some technical information about gates and found: 1. in architecture 2. other uses, amongst which was not the engineering use. So I complemented this latter page and wrote a stub on the engineering usage. After that I found the article that you edited. The word is used there quite a bit but is not a link. Anyway, I shall be most thankful if you would take a look at these pages, I surely will notice any changes you make. Vale, Lcgarcia 00:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello Chris,
I'm relatively new to wikipedia, and have an interest in Solitaire Meissmer's page. I noticed you edited the Khao Lak entry a few times. As Solitaire was swept away from Coconut Bungalows on Bang Niang beach at Khao Lak, and as the search for her continues despite a positive DNA match with a victim, I was wondering if you could link back to Solitaire's entry? Being new, I'm not sure whether that would be accepted as an appropriate link, nor how to write up something new like that onto the Khao Lak page...
Thanks if you can help out (with either just answers and/or an update to the Khao Lak article). I think Solitaire's article does not link to Khao Lak at the moment either, so I will expand that page shortly.
Cheers,
Chris.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wi-Fi. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Graham Pulkingham, by Mrzaius (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Graham Pulkingham seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Graham Pulkingham, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Graham Pulkingham itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 08:38, 1 July 2007

It is what came from Graham's ministry, not the man himself, that makes him notable. Starting with the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Houston, he and six other elders transformed that traditional church. The music ministry which arose from that - travelling teams known as the "Fisherfolk" - were well known in Anglican circles in the 1970s and 1980s in the UK, USA, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Those ministering teams - teaching how to worship in song, liturgical dance and poetry, were each supported by an intentional community constituted under Benedictine rule - known as the Community of Celebration.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Wittgenstein2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Save_Us_229 01:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Kosovo Independence 1 improved.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 02:48, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

Thanks Chris for your recent work on improving spaceflight-related articles. Would be happy to have you join a group of us who working on such things as a part of our regular or occasional wikiwork. And if I can ever be of any help, just ping me on my Talk page. Cheers. N2e (talk) 20:26, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Hey Chris. Happy to see you joined the Spaceflight project, and very happy to see another editor interested in "tweaking" a few of the NewSpace articles from time to time, especially with all the activity relative to SpaceX, and the British-owned [[{Virgin Galactic]] has been back in the news more recently as well.
If you might have time to read an article, and tweak it in whatever way you see fit, I'd appreciate your help. I've written a new article on the SpaceX reusable rocket launching system technology development program. It only recently occurred to me that there may be a "first" in the History of technology coming early next year with one piece of that system: the in-flight turnaround and return to a vertical landingonterra firma of an orbital booster stage that was used to successfully launch an orbital payload. At any rate, if that happens, that article is going to get a lot more views, so its about time some other eyes get on it and begin to fix what may not make sense, or be complete, or find some photors, or whatever could use improvement, in my draft. I've put a note with a few thoughts on the Talk page over there.
So if you have some time to read it, I would appreciate it. Tweaks are welcome, as are more substantive edits. That's how Wikipedia gets better. Cheers. N2e (talk) 04:15, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.
What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page.
