HI Rizwaan
 
 
 
Thanks for Home Office. I am not sure what text you've lost -- for me it ends with
 
 
 
"Work with our partners to build an efficient, effective and proportionate criminal justice system"
 
 
 
but in general it's a good idea to click Save often (every time you write a sentence or two). If your session times out and says you can't save it, then have a Word doc open, then in SpinP in your web browser, hit the back arrow on your browser to take you back to your work that you intended to save. Select all, copy and paste the text into the word doc so you have it safe. Log back into Spin, then copy and paste in the text from the Word doc.
 
 
 
There is another way you can 'lose' the visibility of text even tho it is really there -- by forgetting to put the / in the 'end ref' coding
 
 
 
--ie what should be
 
 
 
<nowiki></ref></nowiki>
 
 
 
you type as <nowiki><ref></nowiki>
 
 
 
or forget to put in any ref coding at all.
 
 
 
In such cases, just look for the last ref you did and put in the final / . The missing text miraculously reappears.
 
 
 
many thanks for your work and hope you can remember what the Home Office missing stuff should be!

Hi Rizwaan
 
 
 
as a PS, when you create new pages, can you add a category? choose from those listed here
 
http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500
 
 
 
(they are case sensitive so do stick to spelling that's there) or if you do not find a suitable one, suggest a new one to me? I've added a category to Home Office page, see foot of page.
 
 
 
thank you!

Hello Rizwaan
 
 
 
it's brilliant that you've started to contribute (a lot!) to Spin. can you just make sure you use the new style referencing -- guide here
 
 
 
http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/SpinProfiles:A_Guide_to_Referencing#Old_and_new_style_referencing
 
 
 
so can you go through all your articles and make the refs into new style ones? you also need to include all the info needed in a reference -- the guide at the above url will tell you what's needed -- eg author if there is one, title of article or web page, date of publication if there is one, name of publication, date accessed etc. it shouldn't be too difficult as you have the weblinks.
 
 
 
any questions -- please ask by leaving me a message on my talk page -- click on my signature link below or go to
 
http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/User_talk:Claire_Robinson
 
 
 
and then click on + sign in the tabs at top of page, write message, sign by clicking on squiggle icon third from right in your editing tab bar above the text box, and that's it.
 
 
 
many thanks

Hi Rizwaan
 
 
 
re the refs, I was looking at
 
 
 
http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Terrorism_Act_2000
 
 
 
--these are old style refs and most just have a web link but you may have been bringing over the article from elsewhere, ie it may be an old article with old refs?? if you don't have time to make these into new style refs then let me know and I will do it.
 
 
 
great that you are doing the new style refs in your own originated pages...
 
 
 
many thanks

== right on claire! ==
 
 
 
Yesh, this is mostly drawnn from Wikipedia!
 
 
 
Get rid of the excess wiki brackets and please tidy up the refs which are all over the place...
 
 
 
Also don't use inline external links.  Any ref to legislation should be to the page on it on spinproflies and any external link to a source of the legislation should be at the end in refs...

Hi Rizwaan
 
 
 
just a note to say I LOVE what you are doing with various terrorism pages -- assume they are of your origination -- hard to tell on Spin as impossible to keep track of where things come from -- this page:
 
2006 Counter-Terrorism advertising campaign
 
 
 
is so beautifully clear and straight to the point.
 
 
 
best wishes

Yes I can see what you were thinking -- the idea is that the weblink stays in the footnote so people first click down to the ref and then can click on the weblink in the ref and go to the external website. this page

a knotty problem that I couldn't solve on page which I understand comes from wiki:
 
 
 
http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Terrorism_Act_2000
 
 
 
and wonder if you can try?
 
  
In section "Definition of terrorism" we did have:
+
*[[Operation Minerva]]
:Sections (2)(b) and (e) could be criticised as falling well outside the scope of what is generally understood to be the definition of terrorism, ie acts that require life-threatening violence.
+
*[[Operation Crevice]]
 +
*[[Operation Gamble]]
 +
*[[Act Now]]
  
now, I looked on the page that we reference here where the UN defines terrorism and actually there was no reference to life-threatening violence in any of the UN definitions of terrorism. The definitions were in fact very broad, encompassing things like acts against the state. Are we saying that the UN definitions are (as I think) worryingly broad, or are they reasonable and then this Terrorism Act is going beyond the spirit of the UN defs? what is the traditional definition of terrorism, ie probably before the so-called War on Terror? how does it differ from how it's being used now? I am confused about the detail so if you feel able to clarify all this it would be great.

“The percentage of the priority plots and leads we see in the UK linked to Al Qaida in the tribal areas of Pakistan, where Al Qaida senior leadership is still based, has dropped from around 75% two or three years ago to around 50% now. This does not mean that the overall threat has reduced but that it has diversified … the reduction [in the Tribal areas of Pakistan] is also partly a result of increased activity elsewhere.”
  
the terrorism page is great now. thanks so much!

Jonathan Evans on the Terror Threat

Speech given in September 2010. Notable excerpts:

On Northern Ireland: “…this year we have seen over thirty attacks or attempted attacks by dissident Republicans on national security targets compared to just over twenty for the whole of last year.”

On AQ Terrorism he said: “I don't want to give a number for those of current security interest as that has sometimes been used in the past as a kind of metric for the severity of the threat.”

On the North-West Ten plot: “Operation Pathway, the disruption of an Al Qaida cell in North West England 18 months ago, is a good example of a necessarily early intervention where criminal charges could not eventually be sustained.”

On frequency of AQ terrorist plots: “The fact that there are real plots uncovered on a fairly regular basis demonstrates that there is a persistent intent on the part of Al Qaida and its associates to attack the UK.”

On the place where the threat emanates from: “The percentage of the priority plots and leads we see in the UK linked to Al Qaida in the tribal areas of Pakistan, where Al Qaida senior leadership is still based, has dropped from around 75% two or three years ago to around 50% now. This does not mean that the overall threat has reduced but that it has diversified … the reduction [in the Tribal areas of Pakistan] is also partly a result of increased activity elsewhere.”

On monitoring people related to terrorism: “Experience has shown that it is very rarely the case that anyone who has been closely involved with terrorist-related activity can be safely taken off our list of potentially dangerous individuals; the tail of intelligence "aftercare" gets increasingly lengthy.”
