Scottish controversy[edit]
Hi Paul, have a welcome! If you want something simpler, feel free to change it to one from here or delete it, but hope you find it useful. The what Wikipedia is not policy rather excludes your comments about QE2 from the Scotland page, and they would also need to meet WP:A and WP:NPOV to be included. It's an issue that's been discussed before, and as you suggest is covered under Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom#Scottish controversy. The outcome is that in some bizarre royal arithmetic she gets to call herself what she wants, and as you may have noticed there are post office pillarboxes around the place with E VII R on them, but none with ER or E II R. ........ dave souza, talk 14:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

The article Glasgow, Lanarkshire has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Glasgow is not in Lanarkshire. In fact, Lanarkshire doesn't exist any more in any official way. The original article here was an attempt to point this out. It was turned into a redirect but this seems unnecessary and possibly misleading.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cleveden Community Club[edit]
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 Cleveden Community Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Drmies (talk) 20:13, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Response from author I would not contest the fact that Cleveden Community Club is not, in the grand scheme of things, very important. But TBH neither are a great many things. It's a great example of local community direct action to provide facilities for local people. Unless the accumulation of articles about small organisations is causing a technical problem I don't see a problem with it - it's not like it's just a "club" consisting of a few friemds who meet down the pub! .Paul Coyne (talk) 20:30, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
