Initial capital

Could somebody with the appropriate privileges move this page to Derek Wall (with a capital W)? Wall is a surname, an should be written with a capital initial.--Libs 14:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Changes by Greenhistory

I have deleted recent edits that were not referenced and did not coform with having a NPOV. As I said in the edit history, unless citations can be provided, these comments should not be on this page. Can sources be found for these comments regarding Green 2000 and Leeds Councillors? Unless they can, do not place them back on this page. Aled Dilwyn Fisher 12:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

photograph?

Hi Aled, Can you take a photograph of Derek and put it here? (See also Category talk:Green Party of England and Wales politicians.) Cheers. – Kaihsu 16:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Vandalism had occured so I set the page back to the previous good version. I also added a vandalism warning to that user's talk page. Athosfolk 13:54, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References

Several of the references in this article are hopelessly buggered up, because someone has several different references all grouped under <ref=Page/>, which is inaccurate. In the academic career section alone, I found two different references given that title, and they were different websites. I cannot fix this, because I do not know which references were used for which facts, but this needs to be fixed. As it now stands, there are 11 references (you can see this on the ref list as the first line) which all point to the webpage http://www.duffmiller.com/index.asp?id=2&doc=37. This cannot possibly be correct. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 16:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went back through the page history, and found the problem: someone added the reference for Duff Miller, with the webpage, but copied the <ref=Page/> from the next reference. This is what buggered everything up. It is now fixed. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 17:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TfD nomination of Template:Video

Template:Video has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion#Template:Video the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page.

The nominator Chris Cunningham/User:Thumperward removed the template from all the articles and then nominated it for deletion. This is a well-known Wikipedia:Ownership gambit by stealth removing a feature with mass edits and then claiming it's not used as a reason for deletion.
He then reverted my attempt to keep the video template on an article page at least until the deletion discussion is completed. This prevents editors from making any comparisons on the technical merits of the template, which further forces you to accept his ownership of articles presenting videos. I have requested a Speedy Keep due to his unconsensed mass edits, until there can be an informed and un-owned editorial discussion on the technical merits.
Until he again re-reverts, you can at least temporarily revert his edit to see what the video template looked like, and then consider the technical issues on their merits which are described at the template deletion discussion. Milo 02:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"former member"

The intro describes Wall as a "former member" of the Green Party, but doesn't contain any information about his having left the party. He's a former *official*, but is there any indication he's left the party? CharlesMartel (talk) 00:01, 20 August 2019 (UTC)CharlesMartel[reply]
