:Hi Deb, tx for helping out on the princess Alexandra move! Of course, doing the move without the cleanup is only half the work done.

styles
Hey, Deb
Given the endless debate/rows etc over styles I've been thinking as to what is the best way to come up with a consensus solution. Styles have to be in an article, but using them upfront is, I think, a mistake and highly controversial. I've designed a series of templates which I think might solve the problem. There are specific templates for UK monarchs, Austrian monarchs, popes, presidents, Scottish monarchs and HRHs. (I've protected them all, temporarily, because I want people to discuss them in principle rather than battle over content and design right now.) I've used a purple banner because it is a suitable royal colour and is also distinctive. They are eyecatching enough to keep some of the pro-styles people happy; one of their fears seemed to be that styles would be buried. But by not being used they are neutral enough to be factual without appearing to be promotional. I'd very much like your views. I'm going to put them on a couple of user pages and ask for a reaction. There needs to be a calm debate on them this time. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 03:15, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Alexandra of Greece
Your help/input is urgently request at Talk:Alexandra of Greece. User:Matjlav and User:Arrigo are merrily moving things around, completely screwing up all the links. Noel (talk) 00:56, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
PS: I don't usually check other User_talk: pages (so that I don't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person with whom I am having a "conversation"), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above); if you leave a message for me here I probably will not see it. I know not everyone uses this style (they would rather keep all the text of a thread in one place), but I simply can't monitor all the User_talk: pages I leave messages on. Thanks!
PPS: You probably ought to archive your talk page again... Noel (talk) 00:56, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
- Not a problem; I've been busy with Japanese emperors, and all sorts of other things! The discussion is now at Talk:Princess Alexandra of Greece (it's now a disambig page, we're trying to agree on names for the individuals, other than Alexandra of Greece, who does appear to be properly named). Anyway, if I could get a second opinion from you on what name we should use for the first one, I'd really appreciate it; I have suggested something, but I'm not sure if it's the best option. It has to move from where it is now, because I'm going to turn that into a disambig page too. Noel (talk) 21:58, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Your thank you
I'm rather ashamed to admit that I can't remember what I might have done for you to thank me for. Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 22:24, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
LOL This is going to drive me nuts! Tell me now. Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 22:29, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
Ahah! It has to do with an anon! Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 22:36, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
regarding User Arrigo
hi there Deb, Arrigo has been unilaterally moving articles all over the place, such as Emperor Jimmu of Japan for example. The users actions are quite amazing I think. Are there any suggestions as to what can be done? with kind regards.. File:Gryffindor.jpgGryffindor 22:40, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- There was no discussion on each emperor's page specifically; rather, the topic was considered en masse at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles). General consensus seeming to have been reached, Jefu and I are moving them all to the new consensus names. Noel (talk) 20:18, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Deb, welcome back. Thanks for your message. Yes I have been in touch with user Jefu and he seems to be taking care of things just fine. Therefore I have no further questions regarding this issue at the moment. The behaviour of Arrigo continues to be troublesome, if you take a look at Thai royals. One example is Princess Srinagarindra, The Princess Mother of Thailand. with kind regards File:Gryffindor.jpgGryffindor 11:02, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

you destroyed an old disambiguation page
It seems to me that you just deleted the disambiguation page about various Elisabeths of Bohemia. That is something which is abuse of any deletion powers. I try to say this as kindly as possible: You better make it back. Arrigo 21:24, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Re: WP:AN/I matter involving Arrigo
I have moved this discussion to User talk:Arrigo since it is off-topic for the noticeboard and since the matter appears to be closed to the satisfaction of everyone present except Arrigo. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 01:18, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi Deb,
Thanks for your note. Anyway, I just put everything together for when it would be needed. Probably a more "official" mediation round would still be necessary, if there ever would be a RfC: both HappyCamper and MarkSweet did some "light" advisory action which they would maybe not endorse as enough "negotiation assistance" for supporting the RfC. But, and that's the important point: maybe the notion that other wikipedians care proves enough to help the situation to calm down.
What I already communicated to others involved (some in reply to an e-mail they sent me), is that some space with enough serenity is needed, if we want to be able to talk about some sort of follow-up of the Names & Titles NC, a little less than a year after it came into existence. That in itself is a very difficult point (I read your comments to some of the votes I initiated!). So, I try to be patient, try to get possible impediments out of the way, etc, and remain confident that the wikipedia system is strong enough to get us on track for the real talk. Thanks, and see you. --Francis Schonken 20:02, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the response
Hi, Deb. Thanks for the response on Talk:Swansea. I shall try not to worry, then... :) It just galls me that whilst I spent half an hour expanding one of those stubs, and an afternoon trying to verify a claim from one of the others, the creator was off starting another dozen. I really do feel that focusing on very small areas ignores the connections and similarities and contrasts between many of those areas as wider regions, but I am obviously in the minority there.

Duplicate Articles
I'm not 100% sure how they both have happened. I think someone may have created a redirect that another user has copied the text into, rather than renaming. They both appear to be the same text. I would say have one article at Princess Victoria, Princess Royal? Astrotrain 19:25, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
- I think if Victoria Adelaide of the United Kingdom is redirected to Princess Victoria, Princess Royal then the history lost will be immatieral- they are essentially the same article text with no major noticeable differences. Astrotrain 20:02, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
Scottish Coat of Arms
Hi Deb, What do you think should be the Coat of Arms displayed on the Scotland page? An edit war has been started by User:Mais oui! who wants to use the old arms of the King of Scotland, rather than the Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland. See Talk:Scotland. Astrotrain 21:49, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- NB — I am going through and disambiguating. The arms Astrotrain linked to above are no longer located at that page; they are now at Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom (for use in Scotland). Doops | talk 04:01, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Ashida who?
Hi! Looks like I'm not the only one to have received these weird, threatening e-mails over something and somebody I'd never heard of. User:Drini blocked User:Ashida Kim for a bit. I had to permanently block him on my e-mail account. Tried to help him and all he could do was to rant. - Lucky 6.9 17:30, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Roger Federer
Deb, in the article Roger Federer, you changed this:
- "His father met Roger's mother while on a business trip to South Africa for the Basel based chemical company Ciba Specialty Chemicals."
TO:
- "His parents met while on a business trip to South Africa for the Basel based chemical company Ciba Specialty Chemicals."
The first sentence makes it clearer that HE was on the trip. Your new change can make it appear to read that they BOTH could be on a trip, like to a corporate meeting; one from office X and one from office Y, to a meeting at office Z. Your sentence reads that they could both be on a trip. There must be something better than either your sentence, or mine?
I want to make it clear that he worked in, and out of, the Basel facility, and she worked in the Johannesburg location, both of Ciba SC. They met at the Johannesburg location when Robert went to work with the sales staff in Johannesburg.
What do you think ?

Help with moving articles
I was wondering if I could get your help. Noticed that you spend a lot of time in the royalty area, and that is where I can usually be found. It seems that we need to move Princess Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg, back to where it was before Arrigo got his hands on it. But, seeing as how I never moved a page before, I was looking for a little help. Would be greatly appreciated. Thanx. Prsgoddess187 23:43, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks again for the help. Hopefully, it won't be moved again anytime soon. Prsgoddess187 22:12, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
