See Reginald Berkeley for my proposal to merge the two articles as I am certain that Reginald Berkeley (politician) and Reginald Berkeley (writer) are the same person, as confirmed by the obituary of Captain Reginald Berleley in The Times of 1 April 1935 page 9, which refers to his plays and also to his career as an MP (presumably not an April Fools Day hoax!).

Hi, sorry for the delay, but you left your message on my user page, not my talk page, and I just now noticed. I assume the "cult" of the Pasagians and the heresy by the same longer name are the same thing, and I will possibly get around to merging these soon! Thanks for the heads up. -- Kendrick7talk 00:25, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
OK, this is finally done. I spread out some of the existing refs which I imagine supported their entire paragraphs as I re-arranged things. Should you be familiar with those references, please double check my work should you have a chance. -- Kendrick7talk 02:14, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the new navbox eg Category:Alaska elections, 2010. which can I see be adjusted to various spacings eg every two years (even years) for most US state (and national) elections, but occasionally for a special or local election an odd year eg Category:Alabama elections, 2009. Should its avaliability be notified on a US Politics project page? New Zealand has a three year election cycle so they can be in odd or even years. Hugo999 (talk) 22:51, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to the article about Italian Social Republic
Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Would you mind terribly using edit summaries? Most of your edits that I notice are adding architecture-related categories to buildings, but it would save my and others' time checking our watchlists if you used the summary. As I'm sure you know, there's a way to set your preferences to remind you if you forget. I know it takes extra time but think also of your fellow editors, many of whom may not be as familiar with your edits as I am. Thanks for considering it. Valfontis (talk) 19:00, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello again, Hugo999 - I'd really appreciate some sort of reply on this, so I can figure out how to proceed. Thanks. Cgingold (talk) 23:03, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. I started off by taking a look at Fort Lincoln Internment Camp, which claimed that it was used for German POWs. But I didn't trust what it said, which turned out to be sloppy misreporting of the main source for the article (they were actually enemy aliens) -- so I wound up rewriting most of it! Anyway, I was able to determine that it does belong in Category:World War II internment camps in the United States, so my initial concern about the purpose of the category has been addressed.

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Wikipedia pages
Dear Author/Hugo999
My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address recently edited an article on 2007 Bernard Matthews H5N1 outbreak. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on [email protected]. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance.

Quirky things about MPs
I recall you talking about a proposed page covering quirky things about MPs. I take it you have a source for these things, or are you collecting these facts as you come across it? I wonder whether you can confirm that Arthur Rhodes was indeed the first New Zealand-born person to be elected to the House of Representatives? It was mentioned in one place only, and I couldn't find a second reference to it. Schwede66 21:49, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
John Sheehan was the first New Zealand-born Pakeha elected to the NZ House of Representatives (& also Cabinet Minister). He represented the Rodney & Thames Electorates in the 1870s & 1880s well before Arthur Rhodes went to Parliament. Wakatu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wakatu (talk • contribs) 00:45, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, Wakatu. Appreciate your help. Re article name, I'm not sure. Will all those quirky things necessarily be records? Maybe write the article in user space (do you know how to set that up?) and once it's done, maybe it becomes more clear what it should / could be called. Schwede66 06:10, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
There is an interesting page: "List of Political Families" by Country. The Rhodes Family of New Zealand could be called a political dynasty with four Members of the NZ Parliament in the 19th Century. Others are Ormond/Wilson & Wakefield/Stafford. A page on the longest serving NZ Members of the Parliament would be another interesting list (rather than Father of the House).

Merging of Entrust Bankcard into Entrust Bankcard Company
In February 2012, you proposed this merge, but neglected to create a section on the Talk page explaining your rationale for the merge proposal. The Usage pages for the {{Merge from}} and {{Merge to}} templates suggest this. I have now created this at Talk:Entrust Bankcard Company#Merge of Entrust Bankcard, and updated the templates. You might like to contribute to the discussion. (If you wish to respond then please do so here or, better, over there.) HairyWombat 19:04, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Kurt Schlosser Saxon Mountaineers' Choir
This page has been in the Mountaineering cat for ages. It didn't really belong but I kinda liked its peculiar presence there. Good work, however, on the new and more appropriate cat, as well as for all your efforts on the Alps page. Whither Schrofen and Sawanobori? It would be nice to rid the page of all these very loosely categorised articles, something I've been attempting now and then over the years. Ericoides (talk) 19:22, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Schwede66 19:50, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Yes; go ahead and temporarily delete it. I was frustrated with adding to a draft article that months afterwards was still not included in Wikipedia proper. Sorry about that. Hugo999 (talk) 01:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I've just removed the remaining Sept 3 CfD tags from the nominated categories, as this was overlooked. I agree with BHG that you had some good ideas, and would encourage you to press on, e.g. manually splitting the "oil and gas pipelines in Foo" into separate sub-categories, and then renaming those existing mixed cats as "Pipelines in Foo". I've done some other changes that you suggested like including tankers in Fuels infrastructure.
I also noticed that when you tagged the categories for deletion, all your edits were marked as minor. Presumably you have that switched on as an override. Please watch out for that, and untick it on non-minor edits. – FayenaticLondon 16:55, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
WP:MMA
Thanks for helping to make MMA articles on wikipedia better! In September 168 people made a total of 956 edits to MMA articles. I noticed you havn't listed yourself on the WikiProject Mixed martial artsParticipants page. Take a look, sign up, and don't forget to say hi on the talk page.
Your edits to Curzon Street railway station were reverted for the same reason. These edits have formed the basis for a bug report at WP:VP/T, since people are guessing that some software bug was the reason for the massive content removal.

Capital punishment in New Zealand
Hi John, you once (for example, with this edit) added the following sentence to the relevant articles:
In 1961 he was one of ten National MPs to vote with the Opposition and remove capital punishment for murder from the Crimes Bill that the Second National Government had introduced.
Do you have a source for the list of National MPs? I've had a look and couldn't find one. Schwede66 00:53, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
I can't recall now; probably the newspapers or the PD - Parliamentary debate volumes. Can look up the PDs Hugo999 (talk) 06:10, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Hurunui
Interesting what you write about the Hurunui electorate. Over time, I will go through and add inline referencing, but what you have just added is obviously not from Wilson's parliamentary history. Would you mind adding the source, now that it's fresh in your mind? Schwede66 04:32, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Well from Kirk's wikipedia page (not really a source?) and also what Bob Tizard said on Q&A about starting off (for Labour) by standing in safe National seats! Hugo999 (talk) 04:37, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Category:Climbing and mountaineering-related lists
Hi, to save you from slips like this, I recommend you to try WP:HOTCAT. If you looked at it before and found it was buggy, do try it again now. It selects from existing categories; can be used to set sort keys as well; is very quick for single changes; and can do multiple changes in a single edit. Enjoy! – FayenaticLondon 13:36, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Greetings from Kelburn!! Saw this edit; I don't think that U.S. military unit category belongs at all. It's WP:RECENTIST if limited as it is at the moment, and completely unmanageable (thousands of articles) if it is comprehensive, plus it duplicates the by-war categories. If you still wish to nominate it for deletion I would support you. Cheers Buckshot06(talk) 06:08, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
List of football clubs in Australia is a disambiguation page, to which links are improper. My edit to the template was necessary to allow the template to call the correct article - the kind of "football" club being related in that template. Please check with me in the future before assuming an improper motive on my part. Cheers! bd2412T 13:02, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
It turns out this didn't work. Still, it was an error, not vandalism. Cheers! bd2412T 00:41, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
Footnote: I have fixed the problem once and for all by redirecting all of those titles through an "association football" redirect. bd2412T 02:22, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, this is a superfluous category. The article you are recategorising should be placed in Category:English cricket seasons from 1969 to 2000 per the WP:CRIC standard. Can you please comply with standards on categorisation as you are creating unnecessary interim categories that, like this one, contain only one article. Further, if you are going to create season categories like this you have to do the job properly and go all the way back to 1725. But it is completely unnecessary because the CRIC standard already caters for what you are trying to do. If you don't understand how the standard categorisation system works, please ask me or post at WT:CRIC. Thanks. ----Jack | talk page 15:44, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
I created these categories to go with other existing subcategories in the 1945 to 2000 period which I had proposed for renaming, eg from Category:1966 English cricket season to Category:1966 in English cricket (not as an "interim" measure). Over the period there would be an average of 4 or 5 articles per year. But as noted this is being discussed elsewhere. Hugo999 (talk) 23:38, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
