Thanks for your work on Nailbourne, should it be "Nail Bourne"?

There are web sites calling it Nailbourne and others Nail Bourne, we could add a comment on the page and a redirect from one page to the other. Olive Oil 11:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Wye Downs, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Owainbut 17:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i will give you two weeks to make it better —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Owainbut (talk • contribs) 17:44, March 24, 2007 (UTC)

Wye Downs is not just any old stretch of chalk downland! It is a National Nature Reserve owned by English Nature. It is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is a popular beauty spot. It is easily one of the most important stretches of chalk downland in the country with 19 species of orchid with the largest colony of Late Spider Orchids in the country (the second rarest UK orchid in the country after the Lady's Slipper Orchid). The Lady Orchid also grows at the site (another of one of the UK's rarest species). It should also be noted that Wye Downs is a popular beauty spot and the Devil's Kneading Trough has been said to be one of the most complete examples of a chalk coombe in the UK. If this is a good enough reason to not delete the article then I would like to be able to expand it with the above information and more plus images, references etc. Thankyou—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spagus (talk • contribs) 17:44, March 24, 2006 (UTC)

You have added enough for it to be a proper article and i have removed it from my list of pages to watch. happy editing Owainbut 18:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the page back to 2007 Kent Earthquake, as it didn't take place in a specific town but in the sea and it was felt across the Kent. --Philip Stevens 10:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading you pic of North Downs! It great to have more free images on Wikipedia. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 14:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Look forward to collaborating with you on improving this article. I propose to add content first and refine later. --John Gibbard (talk) 09:39, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yeah that sounds a good idea. Theres a lot of room for improvement on this article. I'm hoping to add a history section soon and then redistribute the information in the agriculture and industry section elsewhere. --GkgAlf (talk) 10:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.
