I'm trying to take a wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia in a while. Most likely, however, I won't be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and I'll probably be back a lot earlier, possibly even making some small edits every now and then anyway. |

[edit] Ely gallery
- Do you have an opinion on Ely gallery? An editor is disappointed at my removal of her gallery from the article --Senra (talk) 19:44, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Clevedon Court, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bluebell (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

[edit] Main page appearance: Chew Stoke
This is a note to let the main editors of Chew Stoke know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on February 2, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 2, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Chew Stoke is a small village and civil parish in the Chew Valley, in Somerset, England, about 8 miles (13 km) south of Bristol. It is at the northern edge of the Mendip Hills, a region designated by the United Kingdom as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is within the Bristol/Bath green belt. The parish includes the hamlet of Breach Hill, which is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of Chew Stoke itself. Chew Stoke has a long history, as shown by the number and range of its heritage-listed buildings. The village is at the northern end of Chew Valley Lake, which was created in the 1950s, close to a dam, pumping station, sailing club, and fishing lodge. A tributary of the River Chew, which rises in Strode, runs through the village. The population of 905 is served by one shop, two public houses, a primary school and a bowling club. Together with Chew Magna, it forms the ward of Chew Valley North in the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset. Chew Valley School and its associated leisure centre are less than a mile (1.6 km) from Chew Stoke. The village has some areas of light industry but is largely agricultural; many residents commute to nearby cities for employment. (more...)

[edit] Peer review limits changed
This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.
While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.
If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Western Gazette
Hello Rod. I was about to remove the sole entry in the 'References' section of the above article (because I regarded it as spam - it's only a general publisher's website with no specific mention of the article subject), but then had a look at the article history and saw that you'd added the reference. I don't view you as a spammer, so wondered if I was missing something? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 19:25, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
