I've added an image to Dame Sheila Sherlock -always try to find an image and state the rationale -it makes it look that much more professional. Good stuff! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:56, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Bishop Treacy and Bishop McGavick of the La Crosse, Wisconsin Diocese

Bishop McGavick's surname has always been McGavick never Macgavick. Bishop Treacy's diocesan biography had him listed as being born in Marlboro, Massachusetts. However, I did add a footnote about Bishop Treacy closing the Necedah Shrine. I hope there will be no problems. Thanks-RFD 14:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I will go along with the spelling=categories.However, I will object to changing the spelling of Bishop McGavick's surname in the actual article itself. Also I will go along with the Marlboro spelling. Thanks-RFD 16:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Kirby Grant

Greetings! Dzien dobry! I like the "welcome" message you received from Piotr Konieczny; there is much useful information for a "WikiNewbie". I also am fairly new to Wikipedia, and am still "learning the ropes" as it were.

I am writing to you concerning your recent revision of the article on the actor, Kirby Grant. I like most of what you did, but not all. I decided to write to you, when I read the second sentence of the article; the prior version and your version are factually equivalent, but the prior version is more neutral in tone, where your revision seems to have a tone of dismissal. But reading the rest of your revisions, I decided that overall it is better. For instance, the speculation about what might have been had he worn a seat belt, was inappropriate and I am glad you removed it. The remark about his demeanor at fairs and aviation events (along with some other material) sounded like personal recollections from someone who had met him; however, they were added by somebody that we cannot contact (he/she is known here only by IP address and has no talk page). Without some citation, or at least a footnote stating that it is based on personal experience, it was probably proper to remove that material.

If you wish to discuss this article further, we can do so here or in my talk page (since the Grant article has no talk page of its own). Or perhaps we should start Talk:Kirby Grant, since no one else has. Perhaps our unknown source might join us there. Your thoughts? — SWWright^Talk 20:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I just read your message in my talk page. Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, my polski is even more limited. I know but a few words, from corresponding with a friend in Poland. I am myself American (whatever that is).

Perhaps I used too many words in my message above. Conciseness and "getting to the point" is a skill I have not. My reservation about your work on the Kirby Grant article, lies in the difference between these two sentences:

• Grant is remembered mostly today as playing the title role in the television series Sky King.
• If remembered at all it is for playing the title role in the television series Sky King.

Both sentences state the same fact, but the first sentence is gentler, while the second seems to exhibit a negative attitude toward the man.

It is a small point, but of a multitude of such small points is quality writing made. I suppose I could just have reverted that one sentence in the article, but I preferred to talk with you, so to speak, and see what your point of view is. — SWWright^Talk 02:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Geraldine Keegan

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Geraldine Keegan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/794100.stm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
