== Constant deletion of Washwoodheath technology college ==

EREBUS.EREBUS.EREUBUS. if i go 2 every article you write which is uncited then im sure you will find some clever ecuse as to why it is correct

:Feel free. Many of my older articles have uncited material in them, but this hasn't been challenged by other editors. If it is, then I will tend to add the material again with citation to support it. If I cannot find the citation, than I accept the other editor's decision and leave it be. - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] 19:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

:OK, now I don't know what you are talking about. As an experienced editor, I do not go around deleting material willy nilly. Any removal of content is explained and justified. As far as I am aware, the information I deleted from the article you mention was uncited and by Wikipedia policy, any material that is uncited may be challenged and removed at any time. I intend on continuing to contribute and removing or merging material if Wikipedia policy allows me to. Please do not come along with sweeping statements next time when it is you who doesn't know what they are talking about. - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] 19:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

== Second city Manchester/ Birmingham ==

Dear Mr Erebus,

Given that there is a current propaganda war from the grim mill town of Manchester to proclaim itself as the second city, even though it is ranked 8th by the office of National Statistics figures (2005) population estimates, I do not find it acceptable for the Birmingham page to provide credibility for these rediculous claims.  I have therefore deleted and will continue to delete this reference to Manchester to provide balance to the Wikipedia article.

Unlike the Birmingham page, the Manchester page proclaims itself as the second city and carries no such reference to the fact that this is disputed by Birmingham.  In the interests of fairness and balance I find this an unacceptable bias and will make amendments to rectify.

Kind regards

Prof Rob Right

:If you read the [[Second city of the United Kingdom]] article, you will notice that the artticle explains that there is now several more factors used when it comes to deciding which city should be given the "second city" title. These include cultural, political and economical factors as well as the population figures you outlined.

:For the Birmingham page to provide reference to Manchester shows it to balanced and not from one single point of view. The fact that this is cited too shows that it is a credible claim.

:If you continue to delete this from the article, you will be starting an edit war between you and other editors. This means that you will eventually be blocked by an administrator for a time period decided upon by them. As well as that, you will find that other editor's efforts to give the article Featured Article status have been in vain as it is the subject of an edit war - as one of the criteria for featured article status states that it must not be subject to this.

:Therefore, you should stop deleting such information from the Birmingham article and actually contribute to the Manchester article by adding that Birmingham is a rival to this. This would therefore balance out the two articles. - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] 13:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Erebus555, if I understand [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Manchester&diff=prev&oldid=141982833 your post] at [[talk:Manchester]] correctly, you have removed a reference to Manchester from the Birmingham article because references in the opposite direction (for want of a better description) are removed - even though you think the article is improved by the cross-referencing.  Forgive me, but it seems a bit odd to deliberately degrade the Birmingham article because of anything happening to the Manchester article.  Regards, [[User:Mr Stephen|Mr Stephen]] 11:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

:I did this seeing as the editor on the Manchester article removed the reference to Birmingham per discussions on talk page archives. This led me to believe that such information added to the Birmingham article, therefore, must not comply with the discussions which have taken place. It maybe best to come to an agreement to whether these references to Birmingham and Manchester on the articles should be included, as I can see it touches a nerve with some editors. - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] 11:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

== Maps ==

Hello Erebus555,

I'd be happy to produce a localised map for the city. This issue seems to have risen elsewhere in stopping UK settlement articles recieving GA and FA.

What I require is some source material; a few problems include do we use a [[Birmingham]] map or a [[City of Birmingham]] map, and how do we divide the map (by ward, or other kind of division)? If we use a [[Birmingham]] map, then where does its ''"official"'' boundaries end? What should be included on the map?

From memory, [[User:Fingerpuppet]] may be helpful here. Once we've sorted these, it wouldn't take me long to put something together. Hope that helps, [[User:Jza84|Jza84]] 18:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

:That map is excellent - give me a week or so and I'll see what I can do. With regards to the Birmingham article text, some of the content needs to be ordered according to the UK settlements guidelines on sections, (Geog, then Hist, then Demographics, then Landmarks, and then Transport etc are later sections. Administration should be Politics or Political representation, and Famous residents should be titled Notable Brummies) and I believe the infobox should be contiguous to bring it inline with the rest of the UK. Just some pointers!

:I've got quite a few maps to make, but I'll make this one a priority. [[User:Jza84|Jza84]] 21:07, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

::::Thanks for spotting the vandalism warning on my talk page. I've raised my concerns at [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#User:195.212.52.6.2FUser:Rob_right_and_Manchester|the admin noticeboard]], as I feel this is becoming a little targetted against me and that article, despite attempts for a compromise and engagement.

::::I haven't forgotten about the [[Birmingham]] map (see I'm not a raging Manc! - well not even a Manc at all!), I've just had a few county maps to roll out first that I'd comitted too. Thanks again, [[User:Jza84|Jza84]] 18:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:G_Force.gif]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information.

== Map making software ==

Hello, and sorry for the delay in responding!

I'm still in the middle of a backlog for infobox county maps which I'm trying to roll out asap. I do still intend to aid in other projects like [[Birmingham]] however.

I use a package called [[Adobe Illustrator|Adobe Illustrator CS]]. It's an industry-standard graphics software package, which I think produces much higher quality [[Vector graphics|vector images]] (< see the article if you're not as much of a graphics-nerd as I) than other image-making software.

I also ''complete'' my images in [[Adobe Photoshop|Adobe Photoshop CS]] before uploading them to Wikipedia. I have a degree in Visual Arts and I think it's needed to use Illustrator as it's a little tricky for new comers. 

It's a real shame that this package is being downloaded illegally and anonymously through p2p networks like Shareaza.com and is avaliable to anyone with an internet connection. If you happened to buy a copy however, I'd be more than willing to share how I create maps in more detail. 

Does that help? [[User:Jza84|Jza84]] 00:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

:That's very helpful, thanks. It seems then that it might not be for me, despite usually teaching myself as I go along with most software. So I think I'll just leave it all to you - you are the expert in this field after all, by the sounds of that degree! Happy editing! - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] 09:50, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

== Armada Towers ==

A tag has been placed on [[:Armada Towers]], requesting that it be [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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 [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:Armada Towers|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|for biographies]], [[WP:WEB|for web sites]], [[WP:BAND|for bands]], or [[WP:CORP|for companies]].

== blocks of flats ==

Do blocks of flats have separate pages on the wiki?  What sort of page should [[:Image:Samuel vale house 16s07.JPG|Samuel Vale House, Coventry]] be included in. What is the correct term? "block of flats", "tower block" or "apartment block". [[User:Snowmanradio|Snowman]] 17:16, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:Firstly, we refer to them as tower blocks if they are above 6 storeys in height. Below that, they can be called blocks of flats. Tower blocks have their own individual articles, as do large blocks of flats. The article you asked about would be called Samuel Vale House, although, if there was an article already by that name, then the article name should be Samuel Vale House, Coventry. A reference to it should be made on Samuel Vale House. The wiki really wants as much info as possible. The main info that users have is the number of floors, location (down to road name if possible), height in metres and date of construction. If you had all that information then the article would look like: "'''Samuel Vale House''' is a 17 storey tower block on X Road, Coventry. Completed in 19xx, it is xx metres tall." We also have categories as well just to keep it all organised. The style is very similar, or possibly equal to, that of Wikipedia. Hope that helps! - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] 18:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::The categories in wikicommons refers to "apartment blocks", and as far as I could find "Category:Towers in the United Kingdom" also contains monuments. I can not get started with the categories on commons for residential tower blocks at the present time. I new category structure might need building, or have I missed something.

== [[Church of St Barnabas, Erdington]] ==

Hi - I'd welcome any local knowledge you have about this church and [[Thomas Rickman]], as I see you edited that article recently. According to the Birmingham Mail, the stained glass windows were designed and installed in the late 19th century by Thomas Rickman, and various sources state that the church was to have celebrated its 150th anniversary next year, giving it a date of construction of 1858. However this does not tie in with the dates in the article, 1776-1841. Can you shed any light on this anomaly please? Were there perhaps two architects with the same name?&nbsp;&ndash; [[User:Tivedshambo|Tivedshambo]]<small> [[User talk:Tivedshambo|(talk)]]</small> 17:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

:Well firstly, I can't see how Thomas Rickman installed stained glass windows in the church during the late 19th century when he died in the early to mid 19th century. The information I have found is a bit sketchy but can be pieced together. The actual church appears to have been built to a design by Thomas Rickman (or possibly Rickman and Hutchinson, which was the name of his practice) in 1822-23. In 1858, a district chapelry was assigned to the church under the name "The District Chapelry of Erdington". I currently have two book sources stating that the church was built in 1823 and just the one for the district chapelry statement. I hope this clears things up! - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] 17:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

:Well, welcome back to Wikipedia, firstly! One way of contacting a Wikipedia editor is through the way you just contacted me - their talk page. However, if the message you want to give them includes personal information then it may actually be better to send them an email. The way to do this is go onto their userpage and on the left hand menu, click on 'Email this user'. Not every user has this option as some wish to keep their email address private. After clicking on this, you can enter the message subject and the message itself. These are the two ways of contacting an editor that I know of.

:Of course, as Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, you can add information to an article yourself. If it is not of a written standard that Wikipedia likes, other users can simply edit this to comply with [[WP:MOS]].

:On the West Midlands WikiProject page, it may be an idea to create a subsection called "Sub-Projects" or something along those lines. Beneath it, you can link to the Coventry WikiProject and give a couple of sentences on the scope and goals of the project.

:I am actually glad that you have proposed the Coventry WikiProject and managed to get it through to creation as I had initially suggested creating one for Birmingham. However, after discussions with other editors, the decision was taken to propose and eventually create the West Midlands WikiProject. So, hopefully, the creation of the Coventry WikiProject will give enough justification for the creation of a Birmingham WikiProject.

Today I attended a meeting in meat space, (Offline).  The speaker said that [[Big Brum]] was originally a fire tower.  I added that to the article with “Citation needed”.  Please check.

:Big Brum was never a fire tower and wasn't designed to be one either. The original plans for Big Brum by Thomason clearly show that it was intended to be a clocktower. It may be possible that the speaker was actually referring to the clock tower at [[Sutton Coldfield Town Hall]] as this was a fire tower before becoming a clock tower.

:Google doesn't have any control on what comes up on a search, unless it is a dangerous site and they are asked to remove it.

[[User:Tiucsibgod|Dogbiscuit]] ([[User talk:Tiucsibgod|talk]]) 00:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

:Don't worry, when you see something like this on an article, it means that there are two sets of coordinates somewhere in the article. As there is an infobox, that means one set of coordinates are in that. Those should remain as they actually help put the little marker on the map. The other set of coordinates are usually found at the top of the article (which in this case they are not) or at the bottom of the article in the External links section (which they are here). They are usually in a template beginning with 'coor'. Just remove this from the article in the edit box and it will be sorted whilst having no detrimental effects to the quality of the article. I will remove the coordinates from the Dorridge article just so you can see what to do! Hope that helps.

Hi - I've just created a category for [[Erdington]] - see [[:Category:Erdington]]. I've put in a few obvious articles, but any other suggestions you have would be welcome.

:Thank you for the comments on the Lad in the Lane article! I felt it was necessary to get rid of some red links in the Architecture of Birmingham article. As for the category, I think it is a good idea. I think the category should cover the scope of the Parliamentary constituency/ Council constituency to avoid confusion over the boundaries. This would mean including Stockland Green and Kingstanding and would also make the inclusion of Gravelly Hill Interchange possible. Also, I think an article for the Highcroft Hospital is due. There is a lot of information out there and the sub-section is only going to get bigger!

== Help me out on The Sway DaSafo Article ==

Hey Erebus,

Just thought you would be useful helping me out with The Sway DaSafo article. Please could you add a section called collaborations, detailing Sway's past collaborations with other artists. Also it would be helpful for you to add a "This is My Demo" section, which would hold info about the album.
P.S: I'm sorry this notice has been a bit out of the blue, but as you occasionally edit Sway's Wiki & have some knowledge I thought this could be a good task to help me on. 

Thanks [[User:Dirtyharry1994|Dirtyharry1994]] ([[User talk:Dirtyharry1994|talk]]) 08:13, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

:I think the collaborations section should go in the [[Sway DaSafo discography|discography]] article, as most collaborations produce a single at least. Also, I don't think there is any need for a This Is My Demo section considering there is already [[This Is My Demo|an article]] on it! The problem with expanding the article is that there are very few references out there on the internet at the moment. So, whatever is put on the article usually ends up with a Cite tag. As it stands, I think the article is fine at the moment. Until the release of the Signature LP, I don't think it can be expanded much further as there will be a lot of hype when the album is released. The discography article is in need of expansion though. A section on singles released by Sway needs to be included and may be a section on tracks that he has produced - if there are any. - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] ([[User talk:Erebus555#top|talk]]) 15:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

== Motto of the day ==

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{tl|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 [[WP:MOTD/N|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 [[WT:MOTD|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!

== Tony Hatch article - split into three big sections ==

Hi, I've split the [[Tony Hatch]] article into sections, as you suggested on the discussion board, though not as many as would have been necessary from a "visual" point of view. I did not want to re-write the article in any way (since I know virtually nothing about the subject), so I had to make do with the opportunities for splitting which the current article offered. It is some form of progress, at least.
I had hoped that you might find the time to replace my crappy section titles, for I failed to come up with useful ones.

== "Birmingham" or "West Midlands"? ==

Hello Erebus555<br>
I wondered what your thoughts were on the naming of various articles for districts of Birmingham that use a distinguisher to differentiate them from other places of the same name elsewhere?  I only ask because I recently noticed that [[Editing User:Nickyl|Nickyl]] had created a new article about California in Birmingham, but that he had done so under [[California, West Midlands]].  Whilst I’m far from being anywhere near an expert when it comes to Wikipedia’s name conventions, I was under the impression that the distinguisher should be the principal area, which in this case would be [[Birmingham]].  Consequently I moved the page to [[California, Birmingham]], so that it would then be consistent with neighbouring district articles such as [[Quinton, Birmingham]] and [[Northfield, Birmingham]] (I have also similarly moved [[Woodgate, West Midlands]] to [[Woodgate, Birmingham]] for the same reasons).  Looking at ''Category:Areas of Birmingham, West Midlands'' I see that there are 20 district articles that use “Birmingham” as a distinguisher, and 8 that use “West Midlands”.  I therefore wonder if, for the sake of consistency, it might not be best to move the 8 articles that have “West Midlands” so that they have “Birmingham” instead?  Knowing you are an active member with an interest in all things Brummagem, I would be grateful to hear you thoughts on this?  Many thanks, best regards ([[User:Lepidus Magnus|Lepidus Magnus]] ([[User talk:Lepidus Magnus|talk]]) 12:51, 17 September 2010 (UTC))<br>P.S. Here are the 8 current “West Midlands” article:

*[[Bordesley, West Midlands]]
*[[Hamstead, West Midlands]]
*[[Handsworth, West Midlands]]
*[[Hockley, West Midlands]]
*[[Sheldon, West Midlands]]
*[[Stirchley, West Midlands]]

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Sutton Coldfield Observer]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''No indication of notability, no sources, I found nothing usable on Google.'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Sutton Coldfield Observer|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Howicus|Howicus]] [[User talk:Howicus|(Did I mess up?)]] 01:27, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

==File source problem with File:Ellisislandhallinside.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Ellisislandhallinside.jpg]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the [[:File:Ellisislandhallinside.jpg|image description page]].

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion -->

Please refer to the '''[[WP:IUP#Adding images|image use policy]]''' to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Erebus555}} list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

==Europe 10,000 Challenge invite==
Hi. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge]] has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]]. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like [[Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)]]. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon]], sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 05:59, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
