Welcome!

Hello, JulesN, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.

Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on core articles and the most common topics until this Wikipedia grows.

If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

If you would like to test Wikipedia, please use the sandbox. Please do not test Wikipedia by editing its articles.

Good luck and happy editing! --Isis♠(talk) 14:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

British MP's

Hello,

at the moment, we have 13 articles about briutish MP's. Some of the reasons I redid the thing:

• Avoid abbreviations, as they are hard to understand for those learning English; at the moment, categories cannot be renamed.
• It can well be imagined that are people in the Labor (or Conservative party) that do not sit in parliament; we also want to label them. In other words, pertaining to a party should be independent of the member of parliament (and even perhaps of Politician, I don't know)
• At the moment we have 54 people in the Prime ministers category, and 13 in the Members of Parliament. Perhaps have an additional category ("Labour party member", "Conservative party member"). Similarly for the constituencies; we probably want them as "Representative of an English constituency" (which we can then couple with other categories. As far as I understand the system, all members (at least of the House of Commons) are elected. They therefore represent the constituency that elected them.

Don't we also want to make a distinction between MPs and "Members of European Parliament" at some point in time?

In short: Let`s create:

*Political parties of Great Britain
 *Labour party
   *Members of the Labour party
Bold text *Conservative party
   *Members of the Conservative party 
 *Liberal Democrats
   *Members
 ...

This can then be freely combined with the Members of Parliament.

I am of course open to ideas. --Eptalon (talk) 15:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

JulesN - proposals for categories

On categories I think there needs to be one overarching one for Members of the United Kingdom Parliament (better I think than Members of the British Parliament. It should then be split down by Commons and Lords. I think that it also needs to be split by party, and maybe by which part of the UK an MP represents.

I'd suggest the following Categories

• Members of the British Parliament

• British MPs by political party
• British Lords by political party
• Members of the British Parliament for Northern Irish constituencies
• Members of the British Parliament for Scottish constituencies

etc

and also

• Conservative Party politicians (UK)

• Conservative Party MPs (UK)
• Conservative Party MEPs (UK)
• Conservative Party Peers

And to make similar categories for the other political parties.- JulesN Talk 00:20, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!

Welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! Your edits have been very good and I am glad to see that there are still some great new users joining this site. If you need any help, feel free to ask me on my talk page.

I have one piece of advice for you: Instead of posting about abusive IP Addresses in the AN (Administrators' Noticeboard), you should post abusive IP Addresses to Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress instead. Hope this helps, Razorflame 13:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

thanks, I realised that AN was the wrong place, and am now using the Vandalism in progress page instead. - JulesN Talk 13:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Alright. I just wanted to make sure that you knew where the right place to post posts like that is in the future. Hope I was helpful, Razorflame 13:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
