[edit] Bretch hill
in an edit to the article bretch hill you included orchard fields into the schools section, i would consider orchard fields in neithrop especiaqlly as it used to be neithrop infants and junior school. seing as many people think that they are the same estate do you think i should merge the article neithrop i was about to create? Thatperson 07:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, that might be a good idea. I included Orchard Fields based on the fact that I grew up on the Bretch Hill estate and went to that school myself (when it was still called the Neithrop) and knew lots of other children from the estate who went there too (though admittedly this was before William Morris existed). Perhaps the main article should be Neithrop and Bretch Hill should be a subsection within it. MFlet1 11:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
ive expanded the article to include neithrop, also do you have any idea about the boundries of neithrop/brecth hill, i say this because i may add some more on churches later and im not sure which estate the fairway church falls into. Thatperson
I'm not sure there's any official boundary but I tend to think of Hastings Road, Prescott Avenue and Edmunds Road as all being part of the Bretch Hill estate as they were built at the same time, and The Fairway, Withycombe Drive etc as being part of Neithrop.MFlet1 14:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
i glad i found you online, do you know anything about other estates in the town because i think it would be good if we could have an article (or conjoined ones) about ewach estate in the town, i may do hardwick ruscote later as i know quite a bit about them both. i notice oxford has articles on each ward so it may be a good idea to sdo the same for banbury.

Hi again, in answer to your question, I don't really know anything about the other estates as I've hardly ever visited them! MFlet1 21:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Starvationtamtam.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Starvationtamtam.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 15:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Samantha Juste
See my comments on the talk page. Bit patronising to say it, I know, but if you were in your 50s and not 40, you would KNOW that S Juste was the only British Samantha of the 1960s! Even so, have taken our for now. The Bewitched link is probably relevant - most likely the source of her adoptive name - but, again, although I didn't say it was, some evidence is needed. So I suppose I agree with you, in a way!IXIA 06:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your note. I do apologise for its tone: you are almost certainly right that she couldn't have got the name from Bewitched, but there's no doubt that - as every schoolboy knew at the time! - there were really only two Samanthas - Elizabeth M and Sam J. Anyway, I've revised and will try to improve further. Really grateful for comments. Best wishes. IXIA 18:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Henry Cosby
Hi I guess, you misunderstood the Edit on this page. It was not vandalism but an actual fact. Hi did die after a cardiac bypass sugery at that hospital 162.82.215.199 19:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- You're right, and in fact I found this out afterwards by Googling and re-instated his death date in the article. I suppose I assumed it was vandalism because of the "GO HANK!" at the end of it. MFlet1 23:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Category:Date of birth missing
Good evening. Per the discussion about privacy concerns expressed at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of birthdays, date of birth should generally not be added to the biographies of living non-public or semi-public figures. So far, that policy has been interpreted fairly strictly with a pretty high bar being set for the definition of "public figures" who are assumed to have given up their rights to privacy.
By the same token, we should not be adding Category:Date of birth missing to articles unless we have made the case that the person meets the "public figures" threshold. Otherwise, we're just baiting new users into adding content even though the community has already said that we shouldn't include that particular data point. Category:Year of birth missing is okay but the exact date is often not. Thanks for your help. Rossami (talk) 23:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Crime in Leeds
Are we adding the crime section in Leeds from the discussion page or not. If no-one has any objections then I'll add it, and if they do, then I'd like to hear their reasons. I've lived in Leeds my whole life and can say all the crime roumers people hear are all true.
