Sorry if I overreacted, but I am quite mindful about criticisms of Israelis, for obvious reasons. For the other businessman, I only found this. A bit of a mystery man...Zigzig20s (talk) 10:11, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

OK, I have plenty on the amusingly named Willi company but they are just not interesting enough to bother with I think. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:35, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Why don't you do it? There is just enough for him (not his brother) and the company. They are specialist Kosher food importers. Turnover about $100m I think. They are not in billionaire territory from what I can see. You could add a lot if you know Hebrew. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:55, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Good to have you back. Without your malign influence I had gone all respectable and haven't created any articles at all about drug dealers. If you had stayed away I might have started writing about philanthropists or even priests! Heaven forbid. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:00, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Vince Cardell

Thanks for your reviewing efforts. Regarding the Yahoo News reliability, OK. If you search Google with <" Cardell "Billy Leatherwood" "Cheyenne Jackson" "> many sources turn up backing the claim. These more recent entertainment news sources are generally outside the scope of my expertise, are there any that would be considered more-or-less reliable? All the best, 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 21:01, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

It's best to add this sort of comment to the template so everyone sees it. I will let you suggest some sources there. Shouldn't be difficult as you say. Interesting article by the way. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:05, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Discussion re hook source placement

Please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Hook source placement. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:09, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Bots

You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

• The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1>). No other code changes should be necessary.
• Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue=>), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

David Cote

Hi Philafrenzy, it has been a while. I know we haven't seen eye to eye on things. As a newbie editor, I was fairly unfamiliar with the policies. Now that I've been here for a little while, and familiarized myself with the community and its guidelines (like WP:NORUSH) I think I have a better understanding of your position. I'd also like to thank you for your edits on David M. Cote. While I may not agree with all of the changes, I can see that you're dedicated to improving Wikipedia. Would you be willing to collaborate on further improvements to the article?--FacultiesIntact (talk) 16:42, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Phil, Thanks for the note on my talk page. I'm happy to discuss with you the text in the article and cite quotes directly from the sources on the article talk page. But please do not rollback my good faith and well sourced edits. I'm just as much a veteran on this project as you and that is disrespectful. I've already opened two threads on the talk page to invite collaboration and you have not participated. I'll open another one and we can discuss your concerns and workout some changes we can both agree on. I look forward to collaborating together. Best, -- — Keithbob • Talk • 20:41, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Kensal Green Cemetery

Hi, I see you've been creating a page with a list of burials at Kensal Green. Although I can see what you are doing, for a long time now we have been adding names to the Buried at... category on the biographical page for each individual, that way its easier to maintain a big list of names, with proper links to biographical pages. KGC already has about 250 entries there. We keep a short list on the main page too (although KGC's is a bit big, and could be trimmed). By building a separate list page you are making unnecessary work as its an extra place to maintain and cross-reference, and it duplicates the category links. Much rather put the effort in to make sure that everyone notable has a biography, even if only a stub. We take this approach for each of the major British cemeteries. This approach has been talked through a few times in the past, the last time was: [here]. best regards, Ephebi (talk) 22:38, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, but I don't believe that categories are a substitute for lists or vice versa, nor is there any policy or consensus I think that prohibits the existence of both. This is a list by occupation and therefore introduces a dimension of sorting not present in the category. Lists also show gaps in a way that categories by definition never can. I will be happy to do the linking and create some of the missing articles when I have finished the list which will be imminently. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:47, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Owen Swift

After a deeply dull DYK for Marcelo Odebrecht on today's front page (the rules prevent mentioning his arrest for alleged corruption as the DYK fact), I've decided to focus on more clickable stuff. Owen Swift (Kensal Green burial) looks like killer DYK material, sure to go the distance, but really needs an image. He died in 1879, so something should be possible, even an illustration. Do you think you might be able to find something? Edwardx (talk) 09:44, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

That is indeed the dullest hook ever. I did something for Swift but there should be something better later. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:11, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Lowbridge House.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Lowbridge House.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:34, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Lemmons

Hi Phil, thank you so much for taking File:Gladsmuir, Hadley Common.JPG. Can you say what side of the house this is taken from? I'm trying to work out how it relates to other photographs I've seen. Sarah ^(talk) 15:29, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

This is the front of the house on the southern side of Monken Hadley Common. The house faces the common but only has entrances either side hence the oblique angle. I didn't want to trespass. I suspect the house looks bigger from the back than the front. There are more pictures on Commons. Google Earth is useful, they still have it as Lemmons. I have done a number of the houses at Monken Hadley as stubs if the area interests you. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:14, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Okay, thank you, I see now. I thought the hedge in this image was closer to the house, but I see now that it has the path in between, which is what confused me. I wonder whether the car number plates ought to be blurred. Sarah ^(talk) 21:49, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if we have a policy on number plates. I don't think they identify any particular individual and I for one wouldn't know how to trace anyone from a plate. There is also the point that anyone can visit and view the plates. I do try to take pictures without cars as they are a modern intrusion, unfortunately it is often impossible. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:03, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

They're very good images, so thanks again for taking them. I may try to blur the plates so I can use them in the article, but I'll upload another version rather than doing it to yours. Do you have any objection if I move some to another filename? I would add the date to each, and number them, but I won't if you'd prefer not. Sarah ^(talk) 22:49, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Go ahead. You realise that the plate doesn't necessarily even relate to the house? Philafrenzy (talk) 23:01, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I'm thinking it's a privacy issue. The images show that someone driving those cars was at that address on a certain day and at a certain time. I don't know whether Commons says anything about this. Perhaps I'm being over-cautious. Sarah ^(talk) 23:18, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Any idea about Ludgrove Hall, Games Rd, Cockfosters, home of Francis Bevan. Looks like it became a prep school, but might now be flats? Edwardx (talk) 00:13, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, these flats I think (unless they are just using the name) but not listed as far as I can see. I have photographed parts of Games Road in the Cockfosters category but appear to have neglected this house. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:27, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Bing maps has a good birdseye view. Its on a private road, probably part of Monken Hadley Common which starts at the white gates half way down Games Road and stretches as far west as Chipping Barnet. If I recall correctly, it is a gated development. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:47, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of William Franks (landowner)

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 William Franks (landowner) 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 a person or group of people, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Clerkenwell workhouse

The Clerkenwell workhouse may well have been "fit for nothing but to be destroyed" at the time, yet today it would be fit for nothing but to be converted to "luxury flats". Edwardx (talk) 12:22, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Have you noticed how "luxury flats" often don't have separate kitchens? I suppose that the theory is that the owners are too rich to cook their own food or don't know how to. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:06, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Shirley Kellogg once lived on Cat Hill, and was rich enough to spend £10,000 on Little Grove in the 1920s. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:09, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

First we moved to combined kitchen/dining rooms. Now with combined living/dining/kitchen rooms, it's easier to reduce or remove the kitchen element. For some people I reckon the kitchen is just for show, apart from the fridge and microwave. Added a bit to Shirley. Edwardx (talk) 23:57, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

If you put the bedroom on a mezzanine near the ceiling you end up with one room apart from the W.C. Your prophesy that people will live in one small space like pod people is coming true. It's the Japanisation of living and most people can't even afford to buy a studio just like that in London.

Shirley was an unexpected find. There is lots more to say. She helped to popularise the Tango in London. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:04, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

I have been thinking about starting micro unit or micro-unit, but it would probably end up being redirected to studio apartment. For example, see The Rise of Micro-Unit Apartments and Can Micro-Units Be Livable?. Saw something on TV a while back about an older high ceiling building in Manila that had each floor split into two with room heights just high enough for the locals, but impossible for us.

Yes, you are freakishly tall. There is a niche (ha,ha) for it but you can't imagine living your whole life like that. What about your spouse or children? Philafrenzy (talk) 12:44, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Jack Straws Castle

This has not been a pub for some time. The building shown replaces and earlier one built in the 1960s - there is a picture of this on Wikimedia Commons. Cj1340 (talk) 15:11, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I think the category is for current and former pubs. It's an unusual design. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:19, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
