Possible DYK for Amanda Staveley

Amanda Staveley looks like it would make a good DYK. Maybe a hook like "Did you know that before Amanda Staveley turned down a marriage proposal from Prince Andrew she was a model and Cambridge student, and later became a self-made multi-millionaire?" Not sure the sourcing is solid enough, though. The source used in the article now says the proposal was "widely believed" to exist, so it would be good to get another. — Brianhe (talk) 19:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for the idea, and for your help on the page. I haven't looked into the DYK suggestions but it seems like a good idea. I'll have to look into a better source -there are lots around.--Dalmeny (talk) 22:36, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and submit, the remaining issues can be clarified as we go. Cheers — Brianhe (talk) 01:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It has been accepted and is in the DYK queue now. You should get a credit for the DYK when it appears on the front page very soon. - Brianhe (talk) 17:45, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Amanda Staveley

On 26 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Amanda Staveley, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that before Amanda Staveley reportedly turned down a marriage proposal from Prince Andrew, she was a model and Cambridge student, and later became a self-made multi-millionaire? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Robert Sangster

Great work on the Sangster article. I'd long meant to expand it including material from the book Horsetrader, but never got around to spending the time on doing it, so its good to see the article expanded like you've done. --Bcp67 (talk) 19:54, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Horsetrader is a good book and an enjoyable read too, although the copy I have was published around 1996 and doesn't cover the last few years of Sangster's life. He deserves a good article here, he was a huge figure in the game, we can see his influence throughout racing today with the Northern Dancer bloodline, and he lived life to the full too!!--Bcp67 (talk) 18:16, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mike McCue

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 Mike McCue requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 "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 deleted 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
