Speedy deletion of article
Hi I just removed the speedy delete tag you placed on Wharton County Junior College with this edit summary to explain my action: "rmv speedy: created today and flagged by the author as a placeholder: lets give it time to develop." Hope you're OK with this. Filiocht | Talk 10:10, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

You marked an article that I created today for speedy deletion and now has been deleted. I am not upset since I have not put anything on it. I just created a page on the same day you marked for deletion. BE AWARE that sometimes people create a page for the time being because they plan to write an article about the subject in the near future. Did you NOT even bother to look at the "History" tab and read an edit summary of "A place holder for now, article to be written."? Find something better to do next time and mind your own business! I don't go around marking articles for deletion. Why don't you do something productive by writing an article or adding in information to existing ones. That article will be created again.

 * '''My response to the above message can be found here.
 * Hi, note that Kjammer did not delete the page; another admin, who must have missed my edit summary did and I have left them a note on it. I'm sure that this was simple human error and in no way malicious and would ask you to accept that nobody here is down on you or your article. Many volunteers patrol Wikipedia to ensure the removal of vandalism and trivial pages and we all make mistakes from time to time, but these mistakes are easily undoable. For example, if you had asked, I could have restored the deleted page for you, saving you the bother of recteating it. I am also copying this message to your own talk page.

Gaming Collaboration
Sure, I will be a part of your Gaming Collaboration...I actually write video game reviews for newspapers and such to earn money on the side and am a very avid game collector. As for my views on "Megaman/Rockman," I just happen to own nearly all the games in the series (my current collection rests at around 48 games), so I just happen to really enjoy that particular series. I also happen to really enjoy Castlevania and Zelda, among others, and currently enjoy RPGs and MMORPGs, such as "Final Fantasy XI Online," where I have a pretty high level character which is also a mentor. Anyhow, it's good to know that people are out there who enjoy this stuff too! Speaking of Castlevania, I just revamped the story on the original "Castlevania/Vampire Killer" page. --Yahweh 1 July 2005 17:18 (UTC)

Minor edit your user page
I just changed Minor contirbutions to the correct spelling of contributions. I hope you dont mind. Paul McCartney 15:02, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

I just fixed the spelling of "applicable". Ke6jjj 01:10, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Presentism
Clearly presentism needs disambiguation. It is interesting that splitting the page has thrown up the way that the first part of the old article is more like a dictionary entry than a Wikipedia entry. My interest is in the philosophy of time rather than literary criticism so lets hope that the contributors of the literary/historical form of presentism can contribute something encyclopedic. loxley 08:57, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Gizmogrid
Gizmogrid is the company that develops Gizmogrid Just in Time Navigator, as described. So a description of Gizmogrid includes the description of what it does, that is, the product it is mainly known for. Among the people who deal with Gizmogrid Just in Time Navigator, they sometimes identify it as just Gizmogrid. The product focuses on ease-of-use, that is the reason for describing it by 1-2-3 phrase.

I'm open to your suggestion for you 'wikifying' it -- please go ahead.

Please search Telenav on Wikipedia and let me know what you think. We are in a similar situation.

I would like to see your suggestion about the misuse of the second person ("you", "your") make it into the Manual of Style.

"Sentient"
The term is used differently in different contexts, but in my field it tends to be used to mean "able to feel" (as opposed to "sapient", which is used to mean "able to reason"; I don't think that it ever means "having great wisdom, though). I've compromised by simply removing the adjective, as the balloon's nature is explained in the plot summary. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 10:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Rayman Advance, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Rayman Advance fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason: Very little content--has section already in Rayman. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Rayman Advance, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Richard Franklin (actor)

Richard Kimber Franklin (15 January 1936 – 24 December 2023) was an English actor, writer, director and political activist. Principally a stage actor, he also appeared as a regular character in several high-profile British television programmes, including Crossroads and Emmerdale Farm, and he portrayed Captain Mike Yates of UNIT in Doctor Who from 1971 until 1974, returning to the role on a number of occasions both on television and in Doctor Who spin-off media.

Franklin was a dramatist and the author of the book Forest Wisdom: Radical Reform of Democracy and the Welfare State, which reflected his political views and activism. He also wrote novels based in the Whoniverse. Franklin stood as a candidate for the UK Parliament for several parties and founded the Silent Majority Party.

Early life and career
Richard Kimber Franklin was born in Marylebone, London, on 15 January 1936, son of Richard Harrington Franklin (1906–1991), CBE, of Wolsey House, 4, Montpelier Row, Twickenham, a surgeon at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith, specialising in the oesophagus, and who was chosen to give the 1977 Hunterian Oration at the Royal College of Surgeons, and Helen Margaret (1907–1987), daughter of Sir Henry Dixon Kimber, 2nd Baronet.

Franklin was educated at Westminster School, and read PPE before going on to complete an MA in Modern History at Christ Church, Oxford. During National Service he was commissioned into the Royal Green Jackets (Rifle Brigade) and was a captain in Queen Victoria's Rifles. Prior to embarking on an acting career, he spent three years at the advertising agency Hobson and Grey as an assistant account executive, assistant producer and scriptwriter.

Franklin trained as an actor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), where he won the Jenny Laird prize.

Theatre
Immediately after graduating from RADA, Franklin spent six years in repertory theatre, beginning at the Century Theatre under the directorship of Heinz Bernard. He then spent two years at Birmingham Rep under Peter Dews, a season at Bristol Old Vic under Val May, before moving to Ipswich where in addition to acting he also held an associate directorship.

Franklin appeared in a number of productions in London's West End. In 1967 he played the role of Corin in As You Like It at the Vaudeville Theatre, alongside Brian Cox as Orlando. In 1978 he took over the lead role in Same Time, Next Year from Michael Crawford. His latest activity was understudying the part of Arthur Kipps in The Woman in Black at the Fortune Theatre, playing the role on a number of occasions. Other theatre acting work included Macbeth (RSC), The Rocky Horror Show (as the Narrator), The Spider's Web (UK Tour for Ian Dickens), Romeo and Juliet (UK Tour with Sean Maguire), The Importance of Being Earnest (English Speaking Theatre, Frankfurt).

A prolific dramatist, a number of Franklin's plays have been produced professionally. These include: Franklin had a long association with the British pantomime tradition, having appeared in eighteen different productions. His last pantomime role was the Emperor of China in Aladdin at the New Victoria Theatre, during First Family Entertainment's 2014–15 season. Franklin continued to produce new work, the last of which is The Luck of the Draw, a drama based on his uncle's private diaries and the experiences of a Tommy in the First World War.
 * The Trial of Johnny Bull (Ipswich Theatre)
 * Dr Weird and the Amazing Box (Renaissance Theatre)
 * The Cage (Edinburgh) Winner, Spirit of the Fringe award
 * Shakespeare was a Hunchback (Edinburgh). The play was later used as the basis for the ITV production The Trial of Richard III
 * Poison (London Charterhouse)
 * Luck of the Draw (premiered at London Charterhouse in 2014, prior to a small-scale National Tour.)
 * Shakespeare by Shaggers (Brighton Fringe)

As a director, Franklin held an associate directorship at Ipswich. He directed seasons at Swansea Grand and Chesterfield Civic, and was artistic director of Renaissance Theatre in Ulverston Cumbria. He directed at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, and Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, as well as a number of London, Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe productions.

Television
Franklin first came to television prominence in 1969 as Joe Townsend in Crossroads, appearing in thirty-six episodes. Over the course of a long television career he appeared in a number of well-known British programmes including Blake's 7, Dixon of Dock Green, The Saint, Heartbeat, and Emmerdale Farm.

Doctor Who
Franklin first appeared in Doctor Who in the role of Mike Yates, a captain in the fictional military organisation UNIT, in the serial Terror of the Autons (1971), which was the opening story of Jon Pertwee's second season in the role of the Third Doctor. He continued as a series regular until the serial Planet of the Spiders (1974), which also marked the end of Pertwee's time as the Doctor.

Franklin maintained his association with Doctor Who and appeared regularly at conventions, and in spin-off and documentary productions. He recreated Captain Mike Yates on television twice, for the twentieth anniversary special "The Five Doctors" (1983) and the thirtieth anniversary 3D Special for Children in Need: Dimensions in Time (1993). A photograph of Franklin in role as Yates appeared on screen in the fiftieth anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor" (2013). He also appeared in the role on numerous occasions in audio plays for both Big Finish Productions and the BBC, which included appearing alongside the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker.

In 2002 Franklin wrote The Killing Stone, a novel featuring Yates as the main character. It was initially released as an audio book, read by the author, before publication by Fantom Films in 2013 under the title Operation H.A.T.E. The rewritten version of the book removed all named references to Doctor Who characters and replaced them with unambiguous equivalents in order to avoid infringing copyright. Franklin also recorded a short cameo, as himself for the live Doctor Who podcast stage show, 50 Years of Doctor Who: Preachrs Podcast Live 2. He appeared in this alongside a mix of modern and classic Doctor Who actors, including Nicholas Briggs, Peter Davison, Simon Fisher Becker and Terry Molloy.

Film
Franklin collaborated with the director Julian Doyle on two films: Chemical Wedding (2008), about the occultist Aleister Crowley, and Twilight of the Gods (2013), in which he portrayed the German composer Richard Wagner. In 2016, he played Sirro Argonne, one of the Death Star engineers in the Star Wars film Rogue One.

Audio drama
In addition to his numerous appearances in Doctor Who audio dramas, including the audiobook Last of the Gaderene by Mark Gatiss, Franklin's audio credits include two years at BBC radio drama; Sapphire and Steel: The Surest Poison (Big Finish); Harrison Howell in the BBC Radio 2 production of Kiss Me Kate (1996); USA Family Radio; and his own World War I docudrama Luck of the Draw. He also played Davros' father, Nasgard, in the Big Finish audio drama miniseries I, Davros.

Music videos
In 2009 Franklin starred in "The First Days of Spring" for the band Noah and the Whale.

Journalism
Franklin worked as a theatre critic, and published a number of reviews for the Edinburgh Evening News and fringereview.co.uk.

Political activities
Franklin's political activities included:
 * Candidate in the 1992 United Kingdom general election in Sheffield Brightside for the Liberal Democrats, receiving 5,273 votes
 * Candidate in the 1997 United Kingdom general election in Hackney South and Shoreditch for the Referendum Party, receiving 613 votes
 * Candidate in the 2001 United Kingdom general election in Hove for the United Kingdom Independence Party, receiving 358 votes
 * Founded the Silent Majority Party
 * Candidate in the 2005 United Kingdom general election in Hove for the Silent Majority Party, receiving 78 votes
 * Founded the 30-50 coalition. The group fielded Elliot Ball as a candidate in the 2015 United Kingdom general election in Bethnal Green and Bow. Ball received 78 votes.

Franklin's political work led to television appearances on Campaign Calendar (Yorkshire TV). In 1993 he made a speech to the Liberal Democrat Conference which was broadcast by Sky TV.

In later life Franklin converted from Protestantism to Roman Catholicism.

Death
Franklin died on 24 December 2023, at the age of 87, following a long illness.

Cecil Woodham-Smith

Cecil Blanche Woodham-Smith ( Fitzgerald; 29 April 1896 – 16 March 1977) CBE was a British historian and biographer. She wrote four popular history books, each dealing with a different aspect of the Victorian era.

Early life
Cecil Woodham-Smith was born in 1896 in Tenby, Wales. Her family, the Fitzgeralds, were a well-known Irish family, one of her ancestors being Lord Edward Fitzgerald, hero of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Her father Colonel James FitzGerald had served in the Indian Army during the Sepoy Mutiny; her mother's family included General Sir Thomas Picton, a distinguished soldier who was killed at Waterloo.

She attended the Royal School for Officers' Daughters in Bath, until her expulsion for taking unannounced leave for a trip to the National Gallery. She finished her schooling at a French convent and afterwards entered St Hilda's College, Oxford. She graduated with a second-class degree in English in 1917.

In 1928 she married George Ivon Woodham-Smith, a distinguished London solicitor with whom she had an exceptionally close and deep relationship until his death in 1968. She possessed a gift for historical writing, but postponed her career until her two children had gone off to boarding school. In the meantime, she wrote pot-boilers under the pseudonym Janet Gordon; this training was to stand her in good stead as an historian, as she mastered the art of writing entertaining narrative.

Career
Her first book as a historian, a biography of Florence Nightingale published in 1950 by Constable, took her straight to the top of her profession. Her meticulous research had taken nine years, and the book succeeded in restoring Nightingale's reputation, which had dwindled following Lytton Strachey's representation of her in Eminent Victorians. Acclaimed for its combination of scholarship and readability, Florence Nightingale won the James Tait Black Award for biography.

Her next book was equally well received. The Reason Why (1953, Constable) was a study of the Charge of the Light Brigade, a military disaster during the Crimean War and one of the defining events of the Victorian age. It became her most popular book, and afterwards she explained to a television audience how she wrote it: working at a gallop through thirty-six hours non-stop without food or other break until the last gun was fired, when she poured a stiff drink and slept for two days. Though the work was critically acclaimed, it came to the conclusion that the allies had lost the Crimean War, which most historians conclude is not true.

She produced two more notable works. The first was The Great Hunger: Ireland: 1845-1849 (1962), a history of the Great Famine of the 1840s, which was critical of the British government's handling of the famine, in particular singling out Sir Charles Edward Trevelyan for criticism, although she did acknowledge that the British government assisted during the first phase of the famine. The second was the first volume of Queen Victoria: Her Life and Times (1972). She was unable to complete the next volume of the biography, and died in London in 1977 at the age of 80.

Cecil Woodham-Smith was appointed CBE in 1960. She received honorary doctorates from the National University of Ireland in 1964 and the University of St Andrews in 1965. In November 1965 she delivered the RCP's Lloyd Roberts Lecture. She became an honorary fellow of St Hilda's College (her alma mater) in 1967.

Alan Bennett wrote of her: Cecil was a frail woman with a tiny bird-like skull, looking more like Elizabeth I (in later life) than Edith Sitwell ever did (and minus her sheet metal earrings). Irish, she had a Firbankian wit and a lovely turn of phrase. ‘Do you know the Atlantic at all?’ she once asked me and I put the line into Habeas Corpus and got a big laugh on it. From a grand Irish family she was quite snobbish; talking of someone she said: ‘Then he married a Mitford … but that’s a stage everybody goes through.’ Even the most ordinary remark would be given her own particular twist and she could be quite camp. Conversation had once turned, as conversations will, to fork-lift trucks. Feeling that industrial machinery might be remote from Cecil’s sphere of interest I said: ‘Do you know what a fork-lift truck is?’ She looked at me in her best Annie Walker manner. ‘I do. To my cost.’

Wikipedia:Schools/Defunct

 * See also the longer summary of arguments.

Current proposal for schools

 * A poll was held on this proposal, which failed to show a consensus in favour or against it. This poll has been archived, and can be found at Wikipedia talk:Schools/Archive 5.  The following is a copy of the proposal:

If a school article is verifiable and meets one or more of the following criteria, it should be kept: If it meets none of these criteria, but is still verifiable, it should be merged into the appropriate district (or other higher-level article such as city or education in that city or region, if private), preserving all relevant content, and be redirected.
 * It has 3 or more full and complete sentences of verifiable, factual information that is not published solely by the school itself, or already included/better located on a district or city wiki article (ie: phone book information does not count toward the sentence total, that includes city, address, district, or phone number(s)). Such information can be included in the article but will not count toward the sentence total.
 * It has one or more interwiki links (e.g. another version already exists in another language)
 * It has one or more PD/GFDL/free pictures

Summary of arguments

 * See also the longer summary of arguments.

Rules of thumb
We've seen the arguments for and against schools plenty of times, and there is no point in arguing them over and over again on AfD. Therefore, several users have developed these rules of thumb. This is not any kind of policy or guideline, but it is hoped that people see this as a good idea and voluntarily abide by it.

 * 1) Think twice before nominating schools. In the six weeks following 22 April, 2005, some seventy school articles nominated for deletion were discussed and the discussions were closed. Not a single one of them was deleted. If you feel a school article to be inappropriate, consider being bold and merging it, leaving a redirect in place, and explain the merge in the edit summary. Check the edit history first though, if it's been recently created or modified please discuss it first, or use a merge tag.
 * 2) Consider listing the article on Schoolwatch. The Schoolwatch page is monitored by a number of people who believe strongly that Wikipedia should include school articles and are willing to work on them to bring them up to standards. Out of respect for this group it is appropriate to list articles here for a while before nominating them for deletion.
 * 3) Do not unmerge or split out school stubs, unless you simultaneously expand the school article with verifiable information, so that it's no longer a stub.
 * 4) Post any arguments for or against schools on Schools/Arguments, so that we have a record of all points.

Notability

 * It is tempting for some people to set a bar of notability for schools, such as by age, size or press coverage. However, any such criteria have proven to be controversial. Thus, some people believe the only fitting criterion is how much verifiable, NPOV information can be found on the school. Others believe that schools are inherently "notable" and that Wikipedia should cover each and every one of them since it's not made of paper.

Verifiability

 * Information in Wikipedia must be verifiable. School articles are no exception.
 * These articles should have a good amount of verifiable information, with a format agreed upon at WikiProject Schools. Although there are many examples of articles that have been produced through organic growth from stubs, substantial articles are less controversial than stubs.

Merging

 * Stub articles may be given a tag leading to the WikiProject Schools, which explains what is desirable. If, after a certain amount of time, the article has not shown clear signs of growth through editing, it could be merged, and then un-merged if later expanded.
 * Short, uninformative school articles may be merged by someone being bold. This might be a better idea to try than listing a school for deletion.
 * Consider issues raised in Schools/Arguments and Schools/Arguments before proceeding.

Article naming
See Naming conventions (schools).

Suggestions for creating pages on school districts and schools

 * See also WikiProject Schools

 * First, mention the school districts or local education authorities, or similar organizations in the municipality on the municipality's article. Remember, one school may affect multiple municipalities, and district boundaries are often very different than municipality boundaries.
 * Create an article on the school district and work on individual schools as subsections within the school district article. Be careful not to comingle school-specific data, such as notable alumni, from different schools together, so that information isn't lost, and spinning off articles later is still possible.  Be careful to gather all the relevant verifiable information first, and don't assume all school districts are the same.  The district article should not simply be a stub, or just a directory listing, but be truly informative about the district.
 * You may create redirects to the school district article in the name of schools. This will increase the likelihood of an accidental wikilink and make the school district article easier to find by those wishing to add information about a particular school (or to read about it).  If a school name is a common one, create a disambiguation page.  Also, do not make the assumption all schools have districts, or is in a particular district (even its its within that district's physical boundaries).  The only way of knowing what district a school applies to, is to check with the district (e.g. their web site usually).
 * If enough information is included on an individual school, use good judgement to break it out to its own pages.
 * It seems likely that compiling 'enough' information is easier for a high school (or school with a large enrollment) than for a primary school or even a kindergarten. Also, you can check the backlinks (using "What links here") and a Google local search, to see how many references to the school exist in other articles.  The more references (if relevant), especially prominent ones, the more likely the school article would be found by others, and of interest to others.
 * It is not a good idea to list the name of all the teachers at a school. If you want to list the name of the principal, that will generally withstand the editing process, but a complete list of teachers and what subjects they teach will generally be deleted out of privacy and vanity concerns. In other words, Wikipedia is not your school's web page.

Talk:Linsey Dawn McKenzie

Is this true?
I've signed up in Leeds and don't see any mention of this?
 * The photographs and videos that were taken of Linsey when she was 15, 16 and 18 are available at Linsey's UK website but not her US one.
 * Hi! I'm looking at the UK site and don't see them. Where are they on the site??

Are there any early pictures available?
I'm more than a little curious to see what she looked like in her earliest shots. Are any of the photos that didn't make it to the U.S. (between the ages of 15 and 18) available?

 * You'd have to look on e-bay for any copies of the Daily/Sunday Sport from 1994-96. Given her 'celebrity' status nowadays they'd probably go for a small fortune, though back in the day, thousands of them would have just been chucked away the day after they had been published.  As has been stated elsewhere the only pictures of her when she was 15 were in the days leading up to her 16th birthday, when she appeared topless for the first time.  It is doubtful whether any websites nowadays would publish scanned copies of these pictures, knowing that she was under 18 at the time, unless of course they are added without being dated (or inaccurately dated as being from sometime after her 18th birthday).Silver Barnet (talk) 06:51, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Does anyone have a picture of her that they took themselves?
I would love to replace the current image (which is a box cover with a flakey fair use rationale) with a photo of her that a user took themselves, and would like to license it under GFDL or CC. If anyone is interested in giving us a picture, please feel free to spark the discussion here. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 04:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I would love to supply the article with a picture of Linsey, but I don't have any. I think that the box cover photo used is just about the best we are going to get at this stage, and I take minor umbrage at its "fair use" usage being refered to as "flakey". The whole WP picture sourcing intricacies are starting to get my goat, if you ask me :( but one must play with the cards one has been dealt. -- Jalabi99 01:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

The rumor is true!
People, I would like to offer an apology for not believing the rumour. Seems I was wrong and I lose heavily! Anyways, wish they would say that in SCORE. Shame... still, don't believe everything you read in the Sunday Sport! - QwentyJ
 * Yeah, well, what can I say...as for SCORE, they are still saying that her boobs are 38HH, they haven't even acknowledged on her official US site that the photos they are displaying are from before her breast reduction, so what do you expect? -- Jalabi99 08:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Sport countdown
The newspaper ran a controversial countdown to McKenzie's sixteenth birthday

I don't recall the countdown being particularly controversial, in the sense of negative press and TV coverage, moral panics, questions raised in Parliament, etc. Back in 1994, teen toplessness was very much off the moral radar - the politicians and newspapers were far too worked up about gays and video nasties to worry about some teenage girl getting her baps out. I'm not entirely convinced that it would be seen as a big issue even today. 217.34.39.123 14:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Sixteenth birthday pics?
If the Sport photos appeared on LDM's 16th birthday, then given that papers go to press the night before, surely they must have been taken before her 16th birthday. How was that legal if so? 86.136.255.179 22:34, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

 * https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=7+August+1996 tells us that her 16-th birthday was on a Sunday. I assume that the Sunday Sport was published on a Sunday. Usually, morning papers are off the presses late the previous day when she was 15. Also, for those seeking photographs of her age 16 or under exposing her breasts, the possession or reproduction of such photos is now probably illegal in the UK, indeed it's probably illegal if she's under 18. "probably" because (of course) a court would have to determine the matter. 81.141.208.164 (talk) 15:29, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

 * To circumvent the legality issue, I believe they took the photos shortly after midnight on her birthday, still giving them time to print them for the following day's edition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carton828 (talk • contribs) 01:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmm.. I think they have fudged this after the fact - IIRC a whole set of pics culminating in the final topless ones were taken in the form of a strip tease, with one pic being shown per day in the run up to the big unveiling. Is there any source to say pictures were taken just after midnight? It sounds bogus to me. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 14:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * As there is no source for "Shortly after midnight on her birthday, McKenzie posed topless for photos that appeared in the following morning's Sunday Sport." I do not see that there is any basis for inserting this in the article. I have removed it until it can be sourced. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 11:04, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Linsey's age?
I remember seeing photos of her when she first came out in the mid 90's in the uk papers. She was 2-3 years older than me then. So why is she suddenly the same age as me now.

I remember reading a quote in one of the papers about her when she was 24. The quote ended with the phraze "Perpetual 24 year old". Why can't she just say her real age. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.82.148 (talk) 09:51, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Waist
Her waist is to wide to be 22 inches!

Official website
Okay.. I'm going to set the official website as being LinseysWorld.com as we know that's a site which she's plugged on Stern - see http://www.marksfriggin.com/news03/1-20.htm for this - and I'm gonna defend it. If you want to change the link to something else, then back it up as being her official site. Tabercil (talk) 23:01, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Regarding the "Fleshbot article" the IP address makes mention of, I assume he's referring to http://fleshbot.com/234015/flesh-flicks-deep-inside-linsey-dawn-mckenzie. Problem is the article does not make any indication that they've had any form of direct discussion with Linsey, and it's obvious they're taking their information from Wikipedia ("According to Wikipedia"). So that's not a valid source. Tabercil (talk) 12:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Saw the Twitter account that got posted... will try and contact after work; until then I'm reverting to the linseysworld site. The primary reason I'm so mistrustful of the co.uk site is the statement by the editor which kicked off everything: "I edited an existing link which claimed to be to her official site but is in fact a scam site with only stolen content. I replaced with a link to her actual official site." And looking at the co.uk site as it stands now does seem to back up the claim that it is a scam site as there is very little actual content on the public side of the site dealing with Linsey. Tabercil (talk) 17:09, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Dude, Linseysworld.com is over 4 years out of date. I'm a member of Linsey's new .co.uk site and that is the only one that has the latest stuff. I tried to edit the article but it says it's locked. What's up with that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.196.247 (talk) 19:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Dude, read above. There was a claim by someone that .co.uk was a scam site; further arguments were left at User talk:88.107.187.93, which I'll copy below:
 * "I've gotten an email about this, but from someone else. He (or maybe she... dunno) also claims to be in touch with Linsay and states that linseydawnmckenzie.co.uk is a scam site not affiliated with Linsay, and also states that the Twitter account is not Linsay either. So as you can see here I now have two competing claims... Tabercil (talk) 15:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)"
 * "...We need one thing: proof. Looking at the email from the other chap, he says the same thing as you - the linseysworld site is out of date. He also says the linseydawnmckenzie.co.uk contains content owned by TV X and is "a straight up scam". The proper site is supposedly linseydawnofficial.net, which I must admit does look more like what an official site is supposed to look like, with a biography, shop and other sections. But, lets get back to the co.uk site. The Twitter account was started the same day that you added the link to the site, which makes it clear to me that you are the person behind co.uk. So here's a simple challenge: provide evidence that proves conclusively that you are indeed affiliated with Linsey Dawn. Tabercil (talk) 22:44, 2 June 2009 (UTC)"
 * And on checking further, I find that the Twitter account given doesn't provide any additional proof. After all, all it indicates is that someone created an account in Linsey Dawn's name. Hey, anyone can sign up using a name... I mean, look at Kayne West. There are a number of accounts there which purport to be him; problem is Kayne doesn't have a Twitter account and there was a Rolling Stone article to that very nature (see here). Tabercil (talk) 22:53, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I only edited the page yesterday, I'm not the person you banned (otherwise why would I have been able to edit it?)

It's obvious that you're a shill for Linseysworld - the content is five years old now and yet you still push it. This is unacceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.196.247 (talk) 07:41, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm not a shill and I'm not associated in any way with Score group. It's just that linseysworld is the most recent website I can prove is Linsey's official website. I cannot say the same for linseydawnmckenzie.co.uk or linseydawnofficial.net. Tabercil (talk) 11:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I've gone a lil' bit further and done some digging behind the scenes via WHOIS. The WHOIS information for linseysworld come back as being registered to the Score group - no surprise there. Doing a whois for linseydawnmckenzie.co.uk comes back as registered to Net Collex, while linseydawnofficial.net comes back as pointing to lunarpages. So there's no help there, and I'm quite curious as to why Net Collex is the name behind .co.uk  I've also made mention of an email from someone else who states that .co.uk is a scam site. Just so everything's in the open, I'm posting the relevant portion of the email below:
 * I noticed your edits on the Linsey Dawn Mckenzie page so thought I would get in touch. I never anticipated this edit would be disputed but will briefly explain below to hopefully clarify for you.
 * My company has recently purchased Linsey Dawn's official website and I am now in charge or running it. There have been many fan sites and fake sites over the years and, as Linsey is not particularly tech savvy she has never done anything about it. We are now actively working with her to improve the existing site by adding lots of new content as the site under the previous owner hasn't, we feel, hit its full potential.
 * One thing we suffer from is not ranking very highly on google hence everyone assumes our site is a fake. The reality is the Score site linseysworld.com is a real site but all the content is old and she no longer has any involvelment with the Score Group. There's nothing she can do to get the site taken down as they do own the contnet but it is no longer her official site by any stretch, but they make it look like it is.
 * The Linseydawnmckenzie.co.uk is, as far as we know, a straight up scam as is the twitter account someone posted. The .co.uk site contains content which is owned by TV X and even has the cheek to suggest the TV X version is in some way inferior to the version they claim to have. If you attempt to sign up as encouraged you will notice there is one pre-checked cross-sell to pornkings.com and another cross-sell from which you can't even opt-out. So what you actually get for free is 2 three day trials of totally different sites which are not in the least bit obvious you're signing up for. I have no idea if they do supply Linsey content as I have not signed up as I don't want to give these people my card. What I do know is, even to someone not that familiar with this, you can easily see it is dodgy.
 * I had a quick look at the Fleshbot site too but, from my experience, they just add these links themselves and don't research them.
 * I have emailed Linsey now to confirm that she has nothing to do with this site and will await her reply.

To date, I have not heard anything more from this individual. Tabercil (talk) 11:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Then surely the most sensible thing to do is to either list no site at all. You think the.co.uk is a scam, you know that Score is nothing to do with Linsey anymore, and the .net seems to have changed hands from Linsey to someone else.

Three sites, none of which appear to have anything to do with Linsey! So why are you linking to any of them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.196.247 (talk) 18:07, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point... I'll pull the link in the infobox out altogether. Tabercil (talk) 20:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Can we talk / email privately? I have some information for you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.196.247 (talk) 20:56, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure. You should be able to email me from here. Tabercil (talk) 21:26, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

The so called official website is nothing of the sort. It's owned by the Sunday Sport and contains various trojans and auto diallers. Upon joining the site you get bombarded with all sorts of junk. Furthermore there is no new Linsey Dawn McKenzie content available in the members area that isn't already freely available elsewhere. It's a scam. Why do you keep linking to scams? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.186.114 (talk) 07:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * And just to put in my $0.02, I have a discussion on my Talk page explicitly about this from someone who is apparently associated with linseydawnofficial.net, who points out there that they are encountering significant difficulties from someone who presumably associated with the old co.uk site (which can be seen at User talk:Tabercil). As for the allegations of 88.107.186.114 (and whatever other IPs he's coming in through), I've seen no credible evidence yet. Tabercil (talk) 23:03, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * This matter is now fully resolved. The official website is linseydawnofficial.com. The previous linseydawnmckenzie.co.uk that used to redirect to linseysworld.com is being transferred to the owners of linseydawnofficial.com (the sunday sport) and currently redirects to it pending a full transfer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.185.201 (talk • contribs)
 * That's as maybe pal but it's still a massive scam. The sunday sport own Linsey's stuff now and they will flood your computer with autodiallers and all kinds of crap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.188.93 (talk) 13:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

This matter is FULLY RESOLVED. Why can't you just put linseydawnofficial.com as the main website?

I have edited the Official website once again to Linseydawnofficial.com which links to her only current official site. We actually now own the Linseydawnmckenzie.co.uk domain having reached agreement with the previous owner.

To once and for all clear up the issue of which is her official site we filmed an interview with her on Monday 20th of July where she holds a copy of that day's newspaper and states the name of her official site. We are just waiting for the footage to come back from the editors and as soon as it is ready I'll place it on YouTube and link to it from here.

Further to the abusive comments re: Sunday Sport above. I have no idea what you problem is and why you continue to repeat false and defamatory statements about the site. The site contains no viruses, trojans or anything of the kind and if you find that stuff on your computer it has nothing whatsoever to do with us. If you joined the old linseydawnmckenzie.co.uk site it is very possible you encountered problems but this site was nothing to do with us, we only took over the name on 30/6/2009. If you joined that site before that date you weren't dealing with us.

If you have geneuine concerns about our site please feel free to email guy@netcollex.net and he will answer any of your questions and help in any way possible. If however you continue to write malicious comments about the site or Linsey we will have no alternative but to take legal action against you Michaela888 (talk) 10:33, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

What about linseysworld.com - that claims to be the official site and has the hardcore video, the lesbian video etc. etc. as well as millions of high quality photos of linsey. What's the deal with that?

Official Website Backlink
Hi, I am Linsey Dawn Mckenzie's brother, she has asked me to contact you today regarding the backlink on her page. The backlink that sits at the moment points to a japenese site, that Linsey has no idea who they are http://www.linseydawnofficial.com Please could someone change it to her official website linseydawnmckenzie.co.uk.

Thank you

The blacklist notification says Blacklisting indicates past problems with the link, so any requests should clearly demonstrate how inclusion would benefit Wikipedia.  Since the website is primarily promotional, it probably does not adhere to Wikipedia's external links guideline, so I have removed the URL of mystery and commented in the right one.  —EncMstr (talk) 22:56, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Gelug

Criticism section inappropriate
I have removed the criticism section as inappropriate (and correspondingly modified the intro) -- for several reasons.

First, it's all about Je Tsongkhapa, not the Gelug Order per se. If this material is to be included, it goes under the entry for Tsongkhapa (though there is a caution even there -- see below).

Second, while a major religious order such as the Gelug (the largest Tibetan order, 600 years old, highly respected East and West) is certainly not immune to criticism, this kind of doctrinal dispute is out of place in Wikipedia, unless presented as a discussion in its own right, probably under Madhyamika or Tibetan Buddhism. By any standards, Je Tsongkhapa is certainly a major figure in both those topics, and his views have been widely argued on all sides for hundreds of years. In fact, his views are so widely discussed pro and con in Tibet and now again in the West, that the debate itself might be worth an article. But both sides would have to be represented in a balanced way, and his approach acknowledged as the dominant one in Tibet prior to the Chinese occupation.

Elaborating a bit on that last point -- and this applies to the same material as it might appear in the entry for Je Tsongkhapa -- these kinds of doctrinal disputes are common in all religions, but the Tibetans practice them with particular intensity. The remark about Je Tsongkhapa being deceived by a demon is an excellent example. So trying to recount such disputes for Wikipedia runs the risk of reproducing the disputation itself rather than taking a neutral, objective point of view. I won't go so far as to say that the authors of that material in this article were acting out of chauvinistic malice or opposition toward the Gelug order or Je Tsongkhapa, but that is certainly the impression that comes thorough. djlewis (talk) 16:59, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Untitled
I am not sure how to spell the founder of the schools name. I think a few important facts are missing, e.g. that he was a Sa-skya. That his major contribution to philosophy was to combine Nagarjuna and Dharmakirti. Also, the violent nature of the ascendency of the school seems to have been studiously avoided. The Gzhan-stong v. Rang-stong debate might use some attention too. --Nathan hill 09:48, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

New kadampa
Why does New Kadampa redirect here. Is it someone making mischief ? Billlion

No - 'New Kadampa' is a synonym for the Geluk. The 'New Kadampa tradition' is certainly not a synonym for the Geluk. However, I have added some text to that, to disambiguate, as many individuals appear to be confused about this distinction. (20040302)

Rename
Should this page be renamed to Gelug? If you wanna reply do it on my talk page by the way. --Hottentot

founding the gelugs
it is a little bit inadequate to claim Tsongkhapa has founded the Gelug school. mainly a founding was attributed later to his actvities by his followers. --Kt66 23:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Again to that said here: Tsongkhapa founded Ganden and the formation of the Gelug school was a development after his death, I correct the article in that sense. regards, --82.187.147.18 (talk) 17:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

"Im Jahr 1688 wurde unter der Aufsicht des damaligen Regenten von Tibet Sans rgyas rgya mts'o ein astronomisch-astrologisches Kompendium verfaßt, das den Titel Vaidurya dkar po "Weißer Lotus" (so Grünwedel, besser aber wohl 'Weißer Lapiz') trägt." I am not sure whether the Regent (Desi) of 1688 named Sans rgyas rgya mts'o belonged to the Gelug or not. If so, the "Vaidurya dkar po" should be mentioned.

Ordination necessary for vajrayana?
The article haa: "Arguably, Gelug is the only school of vajrayāna Buddhism that prescribes monastic ordination as a necessary qualification and basis in its teachers (lamas / gurus). Lay people are usually not permitted to give initiations if there are teachers with monastic vows within close proximity. This discipline was laid down by Tsongkhapa as a mechanism to prevent Buddhist teachings from further degenerating. Je Rinpoche through his unsurpassed wisdom and direct perception of Manjuśri has shown sentient beings how vajrayāna teachings can be practiced without compromising vinaya. " This would seem to need deletion. It has been a topic of controversy among Gelugpas since the time of Tsongkhapa's disciples. It is mentioned by Khedupje or Gyaltsapje (not sure where) and has not been resolved. Certainly, it would be very hard indeed to find anyone who would suggest Pabongkha Rinpoche, for example, after he had disrobed was unfit to give initiations. I suggest we delete this quote from the article. Moonsell (talk) 23:14, 20 March 2010 (UTC) I don't distrust wikipedia this much but isn't this a prasangika madhyamika school?

Grand Lake Theatre

The Grand Lake Theatre is a historic movie palace located at 3200 Grand Avenue and Lake Park Avenue in the Grand Lake neighborhood of Oakland, California.

History
The Grand Lake Theater, designed as a single auditorium theater by Architects Reid & Reid for local businessmen Abraham C. Karski and Louis Kaliski, held its grand opening on March 6, 1926. On August 1, 1929, Abraham C. Karski and Louis Kaliski leased the theater to West Coast Theatres, Inc. for a period of 94 years, 4 months until November 30, 2023. The descendants of Abraham C. Karski and Louis Kaliski owned the Theatre for nearly nine decades, operating it under the original lease terms although assigning it twice (to Mann Theaters Corporation of California (who later became National General Theaters, Inc.) in 1973 and to the current tenant Renaissance Rialto, Inc. in 1980.)

After the Grand Lake Theater opened on March 6, 1926, it held vaudeville and silent movie showings, but with the arrival of "talkies" it began to exclusively show sound films. The original Wurlitzer Hope Jones Unified Orchestral Organ by the Rudolph Wurlitzer Co. of San Francisco was removed in 1959, and a larger Wurlitzer was installed in 1980. The original phone number for the theater was Glencourt 3100 and the original ticket prices were 40 cents for night and Sunday matinees in the orchestra and balcony, 50 cents for the loges, 25 cents for daily matinees, and 10 cents for children at any performance.

The theater's exterior is surmounted by a giant illuminated rooftop sign which was originally furnished by Brumfield Electric Sign Co., Inc. Neoclassical faux columns and urns line the main interior space and the ceiling is adorned with a crystal chandelier in the lobby and classical frescos in the auditorium. The theater's interior artwork is considered to be Art Deco.

After purchasing the lease in 1980, Renaissance Rialto, Inc., owned by Allen Michaan, spent $3.5 million on renovation and expansion. In 1981, the balcony of the auditorium was split into a second auditorium. In 1985, neighboring storefronts were purchased and attached to the theater. These were transformed into a small Egyptian Revival styled auditorium and a small Moorish styled auditorium. After the expansions of the 1980s, the Grand Lake Theatre had a total of four screens and 1619 seats. The main auditorium is also equipped with a Mighty Wurlitzer organ hidden beneath the floor. On Friday and Saturday evenings, the historical organ rises for a brief concert before the movie.

Most recently, Allen Michaan has spent close to $300,000 to install twin 3-D projectors in two of the Oakland movie palace's theaters - similar to the state-of-the-art setup Pixar has in its private screening auditorium, and also repainted the building at a cost of $170,000. The Theater's 95-year lease was set to expire on November 30, 2023; prior to this, however, longtime tenant Allen Michaan purchased the Grand Lake Theatre in August 2018.

On March 16, 2020, the Theatre was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Theatre reopened on May 27, 2021.

The Roof Sign
The sign mounted on top of the Grand Lake Theatre is the largest rotary contact sign west of the Mississippi River. It measures 52 feet (15.85m) high by 72 feet (21.95m) wide and consists of 2,800 colored bulbs and was designed by Theodore Wetteland. The firing sequence is controlled by a device much like a music box. The sign is typically lit Friday and Saturday, from dusk until the start of the last show of the night.

Politics
Current owner Michaan is known to use his liberal politics as a guide in managing the Grand Lake. In 2004, he publicly announced that the theater would not enforce the R rating of the political documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. The Grand Lake has also received widespread recognition for Michaan's use of the marquee as a political message board. In outrage at the 2000 presidential election, he posted this message on the high-traffic side of the marquee: "This Is America — Every Vote Should Be Counted" Since then, and with much support from the local community, Michaan has regularly used one side of the theater's marquee to display a timely political message. In addition to films, the theater also occasionally hosts talks and events on progressive political issues. In November 2005, the Theatre served as a center for relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Katrina that Congresswoman Barbara Lee coordinated.

Between the midterm elections of November 2006 and January 2007, no political messages were displayed on the marquee, instead devoting the space to the names of upcoming films. Messages began to appear again in early January, beginning with "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing," a statement derived from Edmund Burke's 1770 speech to Parliament, "Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents."

On September 9 and 10, 2009, the fifth 9/11 Film Festival was presented at the Grand Lake Theatre. The theater premiered Dylan Avery's Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup, narrated by Daniel Sunjata and produced by Korey Rowe and Matthew Brown.

On November 2, 2011, the Grand Lake Theatre closed its doors in support of the Occupy Oakland general strike. The marquee read "We proudly support the Occupy Wall Street Movement. Closed Wed. to support the strike."

The Rachel Maddow Show featured the theater on November 2, 2011, as part of the video segment covering that day's Occupy Oakland protest and general strike. Maddow, a native of nearby Castro Valley, said that the Grand Lake Theatre was one of her favorite landmarks when she was growing up and is still a favorite of hers as an adult today. See the Rachel Maddow Show Nov 2nd transcript for her full statement about the Grand Lake Theatre.

More recently, hundreds also gathered outside the Theatre in December 2019 in support of the Impeachment of Donald Trump, which the Theatre's marquee staunchly supported.

Ayr (UK Parliament constituency)

Ayr was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1950 to 2005. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post system of election.

Boundaries
The constituency was created by merging the Ayr burgh and Prestwick burgh components of the Ayr District of Burghs constituency with parts of the South Ayrshire and Kilmarnock constituencies.

1950 to 1974: The civil parishes of Ayr, Prestwick, Tarbolton and Symington.

1974 to 1983: The civil parishes of Ayr (except rural area around Ayr Hospital), Prestwick, Tarbolton and Symington.

1983 to 1997: The towns of Ayr (except the council estate of Kincaidston), Prestwick and Troon plus the villages of Dundonald, Loans, Monkton, Tarbolton and Symington.

1997 to 2005: The 1995 South Ayrshire electoral wards of Dundonald; East Kyle; Fort; Lochside and Craigie; Heathfield; Kingscase; Newton; Seafield; St Cuthbert's; St Nicholas; Troon Central; Troon East; Troon West; Wallacetown and Whitletts, covering Dundonald, Loans, Monkton, Prestwick, Symington, Tarbolton, Troon and the north and west of Ayr. This change led to a substantial alteration in the demographic of the constituency with the Labour Party being the prime beneficiaries.

2005 onwards: In 2005 the constituency was divided between the Central Ayrshire and Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock constituencies. This had a significant impact on the Conservative party by dividing their support in Ayr, Prestwick and Troon into two separate, predominantly Labour-voting constituencies, neither of which attained any considerable level of support for the Conservatives to match that of the Labour party. The town of Ayr joined two-thirds of the former Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley constituency to form Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock, with the remaining portion of the former Ayr constituency (based in Prestwick, Troon, Dundonald and Loans) joining Irvine, Annbank, Auchincruive, east Kilwinning and the remainder of Kyle to form Central Ayrshire.

At the 2017 general election Conservative candidate Bill Grant gained the Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock constituency with a 2,774 vote majority over the SNP's Corri Wilson.

At the Scottish Parliament the Ayr constituency has existed since the creation of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. The constituency retained the same boundaries as that of the former Ayr constituency at Westminster (1997–2005) until the 2011 First Periodic Review of Scottish Parliament Boundaries. The constituency is currently composed of the electoral wards of Ayr West, Ayr East, Ayr North, Prestwick and Troon, covering the towns of Ayr, Prestwick and Troon. The constituency had been represented by Conservative MSP John Scott since a by-election in 2000, until 2021 when the SNP won for the first time.

Elections in the 1980s

In 1987 Ayr became the most marginal Westminster constituency in Scotland and the fourth most marginal constituency in the United Kingdom, being won by Conservative George Younger by 182 votes.

Elections in the 1990s
In 1992 Ayr remained the most marginal constituency in Scotland and fourth most marginal constituency in the United Kingdom, being won by Conservative Phil Gallie with a majority of 85 votes.

In 1997 the boundaries of the Ayr seat were altered. Below is the notional result from the 1992 general election using the 1997 boundaries.

Reggie Yates

Reginald Yates (born 31 May 1983) is a British television presenter, actor, writer and director with a career spanning three decades on screen as an actor, television presenter and radio DJ. Yates played Leo Jones in Doctor Who and has worked at the BBC in radio and television–presenting various shows for BBC Radio 1 for a decade as well as hosting the BBC One singing show The Voice UK, hosting the first two series with Holly Willoughby.

Yates co-presented the prime-time BBC One game show Prized Apart, alongside Emma Willis, The ITV2 reality show Release the Hounds from 2013 until 2017 and was also the presenter of the BBC Three documentary series Reggie Yates' Extreme Russia, Extreme South Africa and Extreme UK as well as featuring as lead voice actor for the CBeebies animated cartoon series Rastamouse.

In 2021, Yates released his first feature film as writer/director, Pirates.

Early life
Yates' parents, Felicia Asante and Reginald "Jojo" Yates, were both born in Ghana; however, his paternal grandfather Harry was the son of an English accountant, George Yates, who worked in the gold mining industry. Harry Yates' mother Dorothy was also a member of Ghana's Euro-African community: her father was a British colonial administrator, Augustus George Lloyd, while her mother Sarah was an ethnic Fante, who worked as a farmer and trader in Dixcove, Ghana.

Yates grew up in North London, where he attended Central Foundation Boys' School in Cowper Street, Islington.

Career
Yates made his first television appearance in Desmond's at the age of eight. He also appeared in Disney Club, as Robbie. In 1998, Yates appeared as a guest presenter on Diggit on CITV also under the name Robbie. In 2002, he played Carl Fenton in the popular children's series Grange Hill. From 2002 to 2004, he presented the Sunday morning programme Smile, and then went on to present Top of the Pops with former Smile co-host Fearne Cotton before the final episode broadcast on BBC Two on 30 July 2006. He also created and starred in the series The Crust and presented Dance Factory and his own radio show on BBC Radio 1.

In 2005, Yates appeared in the BBC singing contest Comic Relief Does Fame Academy in aid of Comic Relief, finishing in fourth place. On the show, his songs included "Boombastic", "You're The First, The Last, My Everything", "It Ain't Over Til It's Over", "U Can't Touch This" and "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)". He also sang a duet, "It Takes Two", with Edith Bowman, the eventual winner of the show. He dyed his hair red for his performance of "Dancing on the Ceiling".

On 10 March 2006, Yates appeared on Stars in Fast Cars and won his heat to get into the final, beating Elton Welsby and Ben Fogle in the last round.

Yates presented Mighty Truck of Stuff and Only in America with Fearne Cotton on CBBC as well as a programme on BBC Radio 1. They presented a breakfast show on Saturday and Sunday mornings, taking over from JK and Joel. They played from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 am.

Cotton left following her promotion to weekday mornings on Radio 1 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:45 pm, leaving Yates to present on his own.

In addition to the chart show, Yates also presented a request show on Saturday afternoons, known as The Radio 1 Request Show, where listeners could send in a text or phone in to request a song. In April 2012, it was announced that Yates would finish the request show and continue with only The Official Chart. He announced in November 2012 that he would leave BBC Radio 1, and his last show aired on 23 December that year.

In 2006, Yates appeared on a Reality TV Special of The Weakest Link and was voted off in the fourth round.

In 2007, Yates appeared in the third series of revived science-fiction series Doctor Who as Leo Jones, brother of the Tenth Doctor's companion Martha.

Yates also presented series 1 of Escape from Scorpion Island with co-presenter Caroline Flack on BBC 1 between 3 and 21 September 2007.

He also appeared on Dizzee Rascal's 2007 single "Flex" music video as one of the judges in a parody TV show called "Flex Factor".

Yates co-hosted the MOBO Awards 2009 with Keri Hilson at the SECC, Glasgow. He has also presented live coverage of the Glastonbury, Reading and T in the Park music festivals for BBC Three, and interviewed stars such as Estelle and 50 Cent for MTV specials. Yates made a cameo appearance in Jack Osbourne's Celebrity Adrenaline Junkie.

Yates appeared in a special Family Guy episode on BBC Three, counting down the top 20 characters of the show as part of a special Family Guy weekend.

In 2011, Yates voiced the main character, Rastamouse, in the CBeebies television show Rastamouse. In March 2011, he appeared with Lenny Henry, Angela Rippon, and Samantha Womack in the BBC fundraising documentary for Comic Relief called Rich, Famous and in the Slums, where the four celebrities were sent to Kibera in Kenya, Africa's largest slum. In October 2011, Yates starred in Arjun Rose's UK slasher Demons Never Die as Officer Mason.

In 2012, as part of BBC Three's Criminal Britain Season, Yates explored the culture of fear, anger and violence that drives the dangerous world of teen gangs. The show, Reggie Yates: Teen Gangs, involved him speaking to current and former gang members to find out why and how teens get into gangs.

In 2012 and 2013, Yates hosted the BBC One singing show The Voice UK, hosting the first two series with Holly Willoughby. They were replaced by Emma Willis and Marvin Humes in 2013.

2013 saw Yates travel to South Africa to shoot a series, Reggie Yates' Extreme South Africa: White Slums, which aired in Spring 2014 on BBC Three. It was successful enough for Yates to return with Reggie Yates' Extreme Russia in April 2015 for BBC Three.

In 2013, his first short film Patriarch aired on Channel 4 as part of their "Random Acts" season and he has just completed his second short called Date Night, starring Daniel Kaluuya and Tony Way, which won "Best UK Short Film" at the London Independent Film Festival. Yates hosted the ITV2 programme Release the Hounds from 2013 until 2017. He was replaced by Matt Edmondson in 2017.

Yates appeared in an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, first aired on 25 September 2014, for which he travelled to Ghana to trace his family history.

Yates, along with Emma Willis presented the Saturday-night game show Prized Apart on BBC One in 2015. The show was axed shortly after.

In 2016, Yates was awarded Best Presenter for his critically acclaimed series Extreme Russia at the Royal Television Society Awards and Best Multi-channel Programme at the Broadcast Awards.

Continuing his documentarian journey, in 2016 Yates's BBC Three series The Insider saw the presenter spend time behind bars in Texas and join Unit 27 of the 56th Infantry Battalion in Acapulco to live the life of an ordinary soldier fighting on the front line of the brutal war against the country's powerful and violent drug cartels.

In 2018, Yates was the themed category judge for Koestler Trust's I'm Still Here at the Southbank Centre, London, an exhibition of art works by prisoners, detainees and ex-offenders. The theme was 'connections'. Yates has also been listed in the Powerlist, as one of the most influential people in the UK from African/African-Caribbean descent, most recently making the 2019, 2020 and 2021 editions.

In 2020, Yates' television film Make Me Famous premiered on BBC Three.

In 2021, Yates's debut directorial feature film, Pirates, was released. The film, a comedy-drama set in 1990s London, received largely favourable reviews from critics.

Controversies
In 2017, the BBC was forced to apologise for a Yates (and independent production company, Sundog Pictures) piece on Australia's Indigenous communities called Hidden Australia: Black in the Outback, filmed in Wilcannia, New South Wales. The Aboriginal people Yates interviewed and filmed for the documentary said they were misled by Yates and the production crew. They accused Yates of portraying them in a negative light, after Yates had promised them the story would be fair.

In November 2017, Yates stated on a podcast: "The thing that makes it great about this new generation of artists is that they ain't signing to majors. They're independent, they're not managed by some random fat Jewish guy from north west London, they're managed by their brethren". His remarks were condemned by the Community Security Trust's Dave Rich who said: "Even worse than any offence is the message Yates gives his audience by reinforcing an anti-Semitic stereotype". Yates was "hugely apologetic" for his comment. Following his comments, he stood down from presenting the 2017 festive special editions of Top of the Pops.

In 2019, when filming for his MTV television series Reggie Yates vs The World in Derry, Northern Ireland, it was claimed that tensions on the street were stoked by dissident Republicans "for the benefit of the film crew", resulting in a riot during which Lyra McKee was murdered. Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy of the Police Service of Northern Ireland said that those claims were untrue.
