Good work on York. I should be back editing tomorrow,Sunday. My internet connection is so slow when I am away from home and Wikipedia servers have been playing up a bit so that editing became tortuous.--[[User:Harkey Lodger|Harkey]] ([[User talk:Harkey Lodger|talk]]) 09:29, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

:The severs have been particularly bad, it has taken nearly a week to get through my watchlist because of it. The bot changing population fields in the {{tl|Infobox UK place}} has not helped. Had to switch off the wikied and popups to get pages to load. Sometimes could click to load a page and go and make a cup of tea before it loaded. Still slow last night but better than it has been. I have done most of the easy ones on York, will probably look at the references next. [[User:Keith D|Keith D]] ([[User talk:Keith D#top|talk]]) 10:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

SSSI Designation reasons

Hi Keith. What you need to do is take a look at the citation sheet for each site and read through. Usually the designation reason will be obvious e.g. if plant communities, or valuable habitat types or populations of notable species etc are mentioned, you can tick biological, whereas if rock formations, fossil beds, or other geomorphological features ar mentioned you can tick geological, and if both are mentioned you can tick both. If there are any you aren't sure about, feel free to refer them to me and I'd be happy to help. Incidentally, are you aware that Humberside is actualy two "Areas of Search" - Humberside North and Humberside South? SP-KP (talk) 18:44, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, Natural England try to keep it simple on their website - I've got the original source document which sets out the details of the Areas of Search, which shows Humberside as two. I'm not suggesting splitting the page, just tweaking the wording in the intro. Let me know if you want me to supply details of the source document to use as a reference.

Articles

Hey. First things first, how was your trip? Hope it was good. Now, I seem to have a large amount of free time recently and I am in the mood to do some serious editing on Wikipedia, only one thing, I don't know what pages to edit. I don't really have any inspiration. What is your inspiration (like what makes you decide what articles to edit)? And another thing, I have ben looking at the article manual (Wikipedia:MOS or something like that) and I have found nothing about external links in the article (like here. This may be because I didn't read the article fully or because it doesn't state it anywhere. What do I do? De Mattia (talk) 08:08, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, yes I did have a good trip, I was without any internet connection for the period so lots of things to catch up on. Inspiration for editing usually comes from interests, something in the news or from what pops up on the watchlist. Often an article changed by someone else causes a chain of thought that leads to further editing of the page or of related pages. On external links the MOS page is WP:EL which gives this link on use of non-English web sites. Keith D (talk) 20:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

With deep sadness

I note that you are on holiday. I shall miss your ceaseless and fearless edits. A hoilday suggests that there might somewhere deep inside you be a life. Is it to Neasden that you have gone perhaps? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.225.106.252 (talk) 22:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry that you missed my edits, unsure why you are keeping an eye on what I am doing. For information I was in Scotland. Keith D (talk) 20:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Keith D. I note you've just had a go at the coord for Nun Monkton. Maybe it's my browser (Chrome) but I can't make the coord at the top of the page work.

Also I've just been expanding Bramhope, and the coord was already fouled up (looked over-written) before I came along. I unfouled it by disabling the one which is at the bottom of the page in the source (but appears at the top of the actual page), but I left the one in the infobox alone. Now the one appearing at the top of the page looks pretty on the page, but still doesn't work. I have not changed any numbers or removed any coord text/coding. Any ideas?

Cheers.--Storye book (talk) 21:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

The 2 sets of co-ordinates usually happen when someone adds an infobox to an article with co-ordinates and forgets to remove the {{coord}} template. Just removing the template should fix it. I have looked at both articles and clicking on the co-ordinates at the top works for me. I am using Firefox 3.0 so could be a browser problem. Though it could be a problem over the server slowness that is around at the moment. May be a question at village pump would get some sort of answer. Sorry cannot really help on this one.

Bankfield Museum DYK nomination

Thanks Keith D for the above help with coords. I guess I'll just have to put up with it - though it makes it difficult to tell whether I've made an error with coord templates. Re the DYK nomination - I've done as you suggested, and nominated Bankfield Museum (thanks for the prompt) but I'm new to the nomination system and would be grateful if you would kindly check that I've done it correctly. Thanks.--Storye book (talk) 11:08, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I have had a look and cannot find the fact in the article so may fail under The "Did you know?" fact must be mentioned in the article and cited with an inline citation since inline citations are used to support specific statements in an article. The fact is probably implied by the note on childless and the images but it depends on those selecting the items for inclusion. Keith D (talk) 11:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I have move the entry down to July 12 which is its create date. Keith D (talk) 11:32, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

ClickBot

Keith, Out of respect for the process of discussion I have paused ClickBot's operation, as you raised concerns over Atterton. Would you please reply at User talk:ClickBot#Atterton so I can know whether it is safe to resume processing? —ClickRick (talk) 22:22, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Millbridge

Hi, noticed that you had created a dab page for Millbridge and was expecting to find the three UK ones listed in List of United Kingdom locations: Mid-Mn but only the Surrey one appears. Should the other two be added? Keith D (talk) 23:48, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Slightly confused - didn't create page mentioned, only added to existing one and can only see the Surrey entry in the list you mention. But please go ahead! Best Wishes: Saga City (talk) 09:04, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

York

Good work on York. I should be back editing tomorrow,Sunday. My internet connection is so slow when I am away from home and Wikipedia servers have been playing up a bit so that editing became tortuous.--Harkey (talk) 09:29, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

The severs have been particularly bad, it has taken nearly a week to get through my watchlist because of it. The bot changing population fields in the {{Infobox UK place}} has not helped. Had to switch off the wikied and popups to get pages to load. Sometimes could click to load a page and go and make a cup of tea before it loaded. Still slow last night but better than it has been. I have done most of the easy ones on York, will probably look at the references next. Keith D (talk) 10:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
