Template:Archive box collapsible Welcome to my talk page, please be civil and comment on my edits and not me. I will answer comments here.
World Rally Project template up for deletion
The style template for Template:Infobox rally is up for deletion. This would affect 116 pages of the project. Its template for discussion page is here: TfD Template:WPWR_Infobox_style there is a similar template up for deletion by the guy on a rampage here: TfD Template:Civil_Conflict_Infobox_style. ~ Justin Ormont (talk) 10:10, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Kassidy
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 Kassidy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, 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 this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages'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. Swimnteach (talk) 20:49, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Kassidy
I quote: "This is a relatively unknown band but has just released their first album". My feeling is that it's too soon. Have a look at WP:BAND. If you think the article complies with that, or that you can improve it to fit, tell me and I'll userfy it to your userspace (or someone else's if applicable) and other opinions can be sought. Articles by this title have been deleted twice before (as I only found out when I'd made my decision), but the BBC bits must be an improvement. If you've got more from other sources (WP:RS) let me know. I'm always prepared to change my mind. Peridon (talk) 11:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- PS Your talk page takes rather a long time to load up - any chance of moving all that yellow backed stuff to a subpage? Peridon (talk) 11:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me Peridon. I already have the article in a sandbox so I will work at improving it and will ask you to review it at a later date. I will also look at archiving some of this page. Bjmullan (talk) 13:14, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

White phosphorus
Hey Bjmullan, while ordinarily I wouldn't make a fuss over a revert to allow opportunity for discussion, there doesn't seem to be a valid argument for keeping the image in the article. If the RS that's the source of the image itself calls it a cluster bomb, who are we to caption it as anything different? Unless al-Jazeera actually changes the language at that webpage where the image's from and identifies the object in the sky as an exploding white phosphorus shell, WP:BOP demands that the image be removed. I'm not challenging your revert per se, but I do think the onus should be on the editors who want the image in the article, not on those who think it should be removed.—Biosketch (talk) 22:36, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Biosketch, and I'm not challenging your revert either! I just thought it would be better in these contentious articles to give the discussion a bit more time to see if someone could come up with a better reference. If nothing happens today then either of us should revert the image. Bjmullan (talk) 08:39, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for the reply. Sean.hoyland (talk · contribs), who's a highly respected contributor to the I-P topic area, appears to have taken your side, so I'm fine leaving things as they are for a while longer.—Biosketch (talk) 16:41, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2011 Australian Grand Prix
 The 2011 Australian Grand Prix (formally the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 27 March 2011 at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne. It was the 76th race in the combined history of the Australian Grand Prix that dates back to the 100 Miles Road Race of 1928. Originally planned as the second race of the 2011 Formula One season, it became the season opener with the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix due to civil unrest in the country. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by the reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel, driving for Red Bull Racing, after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, and Renault's Vitaly Petrov completed the podium in third place, the first podium finish of his career and the first podium finish for a Russian national.

Rollback
Hi Bjmullan, I noticed you've been doing some useful vandal fighting, would you like to have Rollback? If so just read wp:Rollback and tell me when you would use it. Cheers and happy editing. ϢereSpielChequers 22:46, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
- Hi WereSpielChequers, yes that would be a great tool. Anything to make the fight easier. Thanks. Bjmullan (talk) 13:33, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- OK could you just confirm you understand when you can and can't use it? ϢereSpielChequers 23:23, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- I have read the information on Rollback and can confirm I understand when it can be used. Bjmullan (talk) 07:39, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- OK I've also set the wp:Reviewer flag, just in case any of the articles you are involved get involved in that test. Cheers ϢereSpielChequers 22:01, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Congratz, Bjmullan! Just be sure not to get caught with your pants down and use Rollback for insertions of a certain phrase by certain editors ;> As POV and annoying as those edits may be, they're not vandalism. Cheers :> Doc talk 22:05, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks WereSpielChequers and don't tell me that Doc I was just going to use Rollback all the time in those cases :( Bjmullan (talk) 22:39, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Jordan Grand Prix
In what way was my edit vandalism? It's established WP:F1 consensus that we don't have flag icons or engine suppliers above infoboxes for defunct teams. That's why we've got '
McLaren-Mercedes', but 'Brabham' (no engine supplier or flag); '
Red Bull-Renault', but simply 'Stewart'. If you're finding former constructors with flag icons or engines, it's an error on those pages and you should be taking them out. Best, JonChapple 19:11, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I just noticed my restoration of a previous version added old vandalism to the article, so I'll assume it's that you were talking about. My apologies, have sorted. JonChapple 19:23, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- To be honest I couldn't see where the vandalism was coming from as I looked back a few edits and was alarmed that your account may have be compromise. All sorted now so no need to apologise. Bjmullan (talk) 20:11, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Ballymoney article
I think it is completly inapropriate for you to edit an article about a town (Ballymoney) in which you know nothing about and probably have never been to. As a local, i am therefore better suited to contributing to this article than you. You removed my Ulster Scots translation from the infobox, and removed the 'Local Name' aswell. Can i point out that although Newcastle in England may be known as 'The Toon', my town of Ballymoney is also locally known as 'The Toon'. I would like an explanation for your removing of my contribution.
Regards
Further Note: The 'soccer' team you are referring to on the History page is Newcastle F.C and has nothing to do with Ballymoney.
- A number of points for you to consider:
- 1. If you made both of the edits at Ballymoney which I have reverted please consider creating a user account and read WP:SOCK.
- 2. Can you make up your mind on what the spelling is (Ballamoney or Bellymoney)?
- 3. Misplaced Pages has nothing to do with local knowledge but whether the information comes from a reliable source and is verifiable.
- 4. You may also like to assume the good faith of other edits.
- 5. Please sign your comments using four ~. Bjmullan (talk) 17:18, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 1980 Spanish Grand Prix, currently listed for Peer Review
 The 1980 Spanish Grand Prix (formally the XXVI Gran Premio de Espana) was a Formula One motor race held on June 1, 1980 at Circuito Permanente del Jarama. Originally scheduled to be part of the 1980 Formula One World Championship, following the running of the race it was announced that World Championship points would not be awarded to the competitors, making it a non-championship race. The winner of the race was Alan Jones, driving for the Williams team. Jochen Mass finished second for Arrows and Elio de Angelis third for Team Lotus. Owing to disputes as part of the FISA-FOCA war, the race went ahead without the teams of Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Renault, because the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), then the governing body of Formula One, had declared the race illegal. The other teams drove the race, now sanctioned by the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA). All teams competing in the race ran Ford engines. Carlos Reutemann, Nelson Piquet and Didier Pironi all retired from the race whilst in the lead, Reutemann due to a collision and Pironi and Piquet because of mechanical problems. Only six of the twenty-two drivers who took the start of the race made it to the end, and only three were on the lead lap.
