Led Zeppelin
Some good work there Jade. I've been toying with the idea of adding a list of Led Zeppelin concerts and also a Led Zeppelin chronology. It is time consuming however. Jgm's opposition to a number of my edits in the past has also proved tiresome. Anyway hopefully it will evenetually become the best article on Led Zeppelin on the internet over time. Good luck.

Sorry but you are wrong. Nigeria certainly does have aristocrats in it even though it is a republic because it has various royal familes, traditional rulers, kings, emirs and various Royal courts of chiefs and traditional title holders in the various regions throughout the country. Once somebody has been conferred with a chieftaincy title from any of the kings or if he or she comes from any of the royal families in Nigeria then that person is an aristocrat. Fani-Kayode is a member of the ruling class, a titled Chief from the Royal court of the Ooni ( King) of Ife and a blue-blooded member of the royal family of Ife where he and his family hail from. He is a member of the royal family and a member of the royal court at ife which is one of the most reverred courts in Nigeria. That makes him an aristocrat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tebsala ( talk • contribs) 10:22, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
I saw your comments on the talk page, please feel free to make edits to the article as you see fit. I agree that your explanations make more sense than what's currently in the article.

Hi, Zoso. Now that Actuary has been considered one of Wikipedia's good articles, I would like to see it develop or improve, if and as necessary, to become a candidate for featured article status. Therefore, and advice, suggestions, or statements that you think it is ready for featured article candidacy would be appreciated on the peer review page here: Wikipedia:Peer review/Actuary/archive1. Thank you. -- Avi 19:51, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Zoso. As you share an interest in actuaries with me, I would request you leave a comment (support, oppose, or neutral) on the article's featured article candidacy page here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Actuary. Thank you. -- Avi 22:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! There's going to be a London Wikipedia Meetup coming Saturday January 12, 2008. If you are interested in coming along take part in the discussion over at Wikipedia:Meetup/London7. The discussion is going on until tomorrow evening and the official location and time will be published at the same page late Thursday or early Friday. Hope to see you Saturday, Poeloq ( talk) 02:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008
Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map
More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12
Hello,
I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.
If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.
The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!
Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.
Yours,
James F. ( talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I posted a message here: Talk:University_College_London#.22.5BUCL.5D_is_a_fully_independent_university.22. I am not sure why you think that Oxbridge colleges - some of them at least - can award degrees. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I should be surprised. Oxbridge colleges are listed bodies, so can offer courses leading to degrees, but they are not recognised bodies, so cannot award their own degrees like the large University of London colleges can. That is my understanding.-- Oxonian2006 ( talk) 22:23, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.
Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry ( talk) 00:19, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
For our first official recruitment drive! Starting on Wednesday the 9th of February at 12:30pm. We would love to have you! |
