Userboxes speedy

i've speedy deleted a fair chunk of your userboxes so far - one thing thing though, can ensure nobody is using them (i.e. look at User:Danbarnesdavies/Userboxes/KEGS/User TindalO and User:Danbarnesdavies/Userboxes/KEGS/User kegsOC). Thanks/wangi 00:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

A lot of my pages are mistaken namings that have been moved - I'm going though, checking used-ness (by Special:Whatlinkshere/) and marking the ones thaht want deleting. Many thanks, // DBD 00:35, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I've reverted those two again - they are used on User:Graham Rutland, is that an account of yours (looks similiar)? Thanks/wangi 00:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Not of mine - good friend - have substed his implementations. Could you please undelete User:Danbarnesdavies/Userbadges; User:Danbarnesdavies/Userbadges/Comedy; User:Danbarnesdavies/Userbadges/Comedy/Badge Saxondale; User:Danbarnesdavies/Userbadges/Comedy/Badge Thick? Thanks // DBD 01:01, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Prime Minister

You have probably noticed occasion examples of complete Wikipedia ignorance on topics but there is a classic being discussed with an RM at talk:Prime minister. Some ill-informed individuals have moved Prime Minister to Prime minister are and so ignorant of the topic they don't realise making such a fundamental error will make WP an international laughing stock. Feel free to contribute to the debate. FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 02:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Edward VIII's title

You are wrong.

• The official title never used United Kingdom. It used Great Britain. It didn't make sense, but all we can do is report the actual title used.
• It did not use Northern Ireland. It said Ireland and did so up until 1949. FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 23:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

WPBiography templates

Please don't remove WPBiography templates from royalty articles - just add your Project's template. Incidentally, did you know that WPBio has a royalty workgroup? Perhaps it would be better to work as a subdivision of that or discuss some other form of cooperation/coordination? --kingboyk 10:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I am aware of Bio's work, as I had a brief discussion when I started WPBRoy, and, until now, it was my impression that WPBRoy was to become a specialised, independent, yet co-operative child project of WPBio's royalty taksforce. Of course, this will require discussions between those at Bio and those at BRoy - please do let me know where // DBD 12:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

That would be a good idea I think. It would mean we could share templates (either by giving yours the WPBiography treatment, or adding you to our template - the latter would be easier). You could retain independence by being a subproject of the royalty task force, we'd just move your project pages into our area but you'd be in control. Yes, that sounds like a plan... let me find a venue where we can discuss it. --kingboyk 12:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

It's still a work in progress, but if you're as impatient as me you'll want to see what my sandbox work is looking like :) This is the WPBiography template!! -

You'd have to fork your invite code out into a new template though (or use {{BRoy}} just for that), otherwise it will be too complicated. OK, back to work... --kingboyk 14:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
