"Dubious" tag on Characters in Romeo and Juliet#Balthasar?
Hi Pat,
I just noticed that in you added a {{dubious}} tag to Characters in Romeo and Juliet#Balthasar. It's not immediately obvious to me which statement you find to be "dubious". Could you clarify? --Xover (talk) 20:15, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

That's probably the best thing to do! Sorry I've just looked at the history and I come across as a right plum. Didn't mean to do so, sorry. I think we had the traditional box at Bradford West until polling day. It's easier to edit for editors and IPs that way.

The article Johann Wittenborg has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello. When another editor objects to speedy deletion, the proper course of action if you still want to delete it is to bring the matter to WP:Articles for deletion, not to wait two weeks and apply another speedy deletion tag. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 12:32, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
I may have slipped up to some extent, but I may not be the only person to have done so. It looks as if the page was speedily deleted, but somebody re-created it. However, I'm leaning to the view that maybe we can keep this page. PatGallacher (talk) 12:40, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
It was re-created because you hadn't contacted the creator; you didn't because you knew I'd contest it. You had already nominated it for speedy deletion and prodded it - removed by two different editors - so you knew it should have gone to afd. It was re-created because it's both a page which clearly meets the guidelines at MOS:D, and because you should not have nominated it as uncontroversial, when you knew full well it was not. I'm shocked by your behaviour in all this. Boleyn (talk) 18:33, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, I think I was getting a bit confused, but I wasn't trying to pull a fast one on anyone. PatGallacher (talk) 20:23, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
You've again nominated a page I created for speedy deletion without informing me, even after I've left three messages about this behaviour on your Talk page within the last couple of weeks. Please stop. Your reason didn't make any sense to me, at least. If you still think it should be deleted, please take it to AfD - and if you do, let the creator (i.e. me) know! It's basic courtesy, when someone's taken the trouble to create a page, and it's in the guidelines. Boleyn (talk) 16:13, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Claudio del Plá.

Please stop jumping to conclusions about my edits and throwing your weight around as if you own Wikipedia-and have you nothing better to do?
If you had read my explanations on the various pages on which you have been reverting my edits, you would have seen that I pointed out about the discussions that there WERE about these name changes, which are common sense and fair, and certainly not vandalism. If you want to contest them, please do so by adding to the discussions yourself (though I am not sure if you are actually even interested in and knowledgable about the articles and suspect you just enjoy patrolling Wiki like an uptight traffic warden) and please not just changing back without consensus. Thankyou. Nocrowx (talk) 01:41, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

- If you are worried about attaching undue weight then don't you agree it would be best to remove the content from the article all together? If you are unwilling to provide the reference that you placed in the article then the reference is no good. Tiptoety talk 16:30, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

- It's available online to anyone who has a UK public library ticket if their local library subscribes to the Times Digital Archive (as far as I know most do so - Lancashire and Leeds certainly do). But there is no requirement for references to be available online, and no requirement on an editor using a reference to supply other editors with copies of it: that's what libraries are for.

League Changes
Dunfermline and Dundee have not resigned there place therefore at the moment there is no position available in Div1 for Airdrie or Div2 for Stranraer. Rangers have said there future is uncertain as they don't know if SPL2 will be formed. The Herald and Channel four are stating that this is likely to be put forward.Edinburgh Wanderer 14:24, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
I am going by a news announcement. The possible formation of SPL2 is a couple of seasons away. It is now surely certain that either Dunfermline or Dundee will be in the SPL next season, even if we don't know which. PatGallacher (talk) 14:28, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
As a regular contributor to the Airdrie United article I was tempted to add something in today regarding the vote taken by The Scottish Football League and the implications that vote may have on Airdrie. Although an announcement was made by the SFL that Airdrie would be playing in Division One and (my understanding) the clubs voted to accept any forthcoming resignation of Dundee or Dunfermline to allow such a vacancy for Airdrie, the media seem to be saying this saga has not finished its course. As it stands (on 13 July) the SPL have not accepted either Dundee or Dunfermline, so although it's likely to happen, it's not a done deal. Perhaps gentlemen we could agree to "abstain" from any changes in the article until this is signed, sealed and delivered? Centre Stand (talk) 19:16, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Actually it was league recon that was a couple of seasons away. SPL2 was a short term solution to the problem although very unlikely. The main point is until Dundee or Dunfermline resign the change cannot take place no club not even Rangers can be placed into Div3. Their resignation will be accepted but it has not happened. Its good faith because some sources don't make it clear that the SFA have yet to ratify or that no resignation has taken place the better ones do though. The SFL statement does not cover this section yet[2] the Clyde statement is spot on tonight they hope its over but they think not.[3]. The BBC source says poised to be promoted and they hope the SFA and SPL will go with the decision.[4]Edinburgh Wanderer 22:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Côte d'Ivoire in sports
Sports are a special case. For instance, we use the name "Chinese Taipei" in sports contexts, even thought that name is not used in non-sports contexts. I reverted the undiscussed move to Ivory Coast at the Olympics, it should go to an RM. (For instance, there is currently an RM proposal to move Myanmar football articles to Burma titles) For things like Economy of Ivory Coast, I didn't revert it although some would argue that even that should go through an RM (the precedent here would be articles like Flag of China, which went the RM route even though People's Republic of China had been moved to China some time earlier. — P.T.

DEFAULTSORT and Chinese names
Removing DEFAULTSORT from Chinese names as you did on Huang Qian is not correct according to WP:SUR.

Even if this were not the case I don't see the point in removing the correct default sort as it is valuable documentation. Quale (talk) 06:38, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, PatGallacher. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Ding Yixin, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Ding Yixin to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.
If you need help doing so, you can leave a note on my talk page.
Thanks, ♠♠ BanëJ ♠♠ (Talk) 13:34, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
The article Sam Bacile has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- WP:BLP1E, keep information in Innocence of Muslims
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:12, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the friendly message. It will be taken to heart. Qworty (talk) 01:25, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Pat, I can't believe I'm contacting you about this on a 5th occasion in a short period of time. You have again nominated a page for speedy deletion, without letting the creator know. Creators must be informed - you know this. Also, again, the page clearly doesn't meet the criteria - there are 3 entries. Please, please read other MOS:DABRL and MOS:DABMENTION so you can see that redlinks are acceptable on disambiguation pages, and then please stop nominating pages for speedy deletion when they are valid. Boleyn (talk) 06:58, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, my mistake, but I feel I should point out that in this case the red link was recently prodded. PatGallacher (talk) 10:53, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Boleyn (talk) 11:01, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Seven Angry Men
Hello PatGallacher,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Seven Angry Men for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Danielj2705 17:54, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dr. Finlay's Casebook (TV & radio), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page James Copeland (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

October 2012
Your recent editing history at Silvio_Berlusconi shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Please wait for consensus on the talk page before re-adding these POV tags. Thanks, T. trichiura Infect me 20:44, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
I realise that there is a dispute arising in relation to this article, but it sometimes takes two sides to make a heated dispute. I don't think I have broke the 3RR. I'm happy to continue talking on the talk page at present. However I think describing my edits as POV is itself somewhat POV. PatGallacher (talk) 20:56, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting logic, but wrong. It has been described as POV because it's not accurate according to Italian legal theory, and therefore calling him a tax evader introduces POV. The important bit is that you stop re-adding the tag, as you repeatedly have done, while the discussion is ongoing. (Please read the notice more carefully regarding 3RR). T. trichiura Infect me 21:01, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- I only reverted twice, another Wikipedian who has nothing to do with me also reverted twice. However I will continue discussing at present. PatGallacher (talk) 21:09, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
Pat, I find it rather silly that you were given a "warning" by Trichuris trichiura, who has twice removed the categories: [5], [6]. Trichuris trichiura should beware of WP:BOOMERANG. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:03, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Sir Dudley Pound
Hi - I notice that you have re-inserted the text from Pursuit: The Sinking of the Bismarck. The reason I deleted it was because I was trying to get the article re-assessed as B class on the quality assessment scale. That cannot be achieved without page numbers for all references. I have no problem with the text you have inserted remaining in the article (it is good material) but please can you insert the page numbers to meet the precise requirements of WP:SOURCE. Thanks in anticipation. Dormskirk (talk) 23:55, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Rotherham by-election
Well now I don't know what to do.....
When the story broke earlier today, MacShane hadn't resigned, and knowing how Wikipedia's rapid response corps behave - particularly irresponsible IP address editors - I created and redirected Rotherham by-election, 2012 and Rotherham by-election, 2013. This would, I hoped, put a pause on people setting up new articles whilst we didn't have an actual resignation, not to mention a date.
I now see that Rotherham by-election 2012 has been fleshed out, so I can't really do much about that, but I hope we can stop too many editors pouring in with vandalism. See Next Middlesbrough by-election for one solution to the problem of not having a date yet, whilst having editors who want to create an article.
How do you think we should proceed, if indeed we need to?
(I'll copy this message to editors who worked on both 2012 and 2013 by-election articles)
doktorb wordsdeeds 17:29, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
We now have two articles 'live', 2012 and 2013. Partly my fault, but the opposite to what I'd intended doktorb wordsdeeds 17:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Pat, this is the sixth time I'm contacting you about the same issue, in a pretty short space of time. If it happens again, I can only assume it is deliberate and will have to take it further. Please inform creators if you nominate their page for deletion - it's the guidelines and it's basic courtesy - but I have said this before. Boleyn (talk) 13:17, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Pat, I removed the prod from the above article as I do not think it's a suitable candidate for a proposed deletion an AfD would be more appropriate. Thank you. Rotten regard Softnow 19:33, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
Children who are baptized in a Catholic church are "baptized Catholic." This is not something that requires a citation or proof of any sort. Please do not revert this information in the Nicholas Windsor article again. --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 02:59, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Can you give us a source for that? This was discussed before at Talk:Line of succession to the British throne, nobody came up with a definite answer. As most Christian churches tend to recognise each other's baptisms you could just be baptised a Christian. See WP:PROVEIT. PatGallacher (talk) 12:14, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
