Whack!
You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something silly.

Chartwell IP editors

Hi. I am having trouble understanding the actions of the two recent IP editors at Chartwell - the 91. and the 2a01: ... possibly the same person. I'm sure you've seen their contribs and where else they have been active. it's not exactly proper vandalism but it does seem very strange and I think is cumulatively destructive, or they lead on to more problems, etc ... se T.E.Lawrence for example. I don't really get it and I don't have the stomach for a big battle. What do you think? Cheers DBaK (talk) 00:21, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! Almost certainly the same editor, but we’ve rolled them back, and can do so again. As to their motivation, heaven alone knows. KJP1 (talk) 13:07, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dorking

Hi @KJP1: I am just picking up on the comment that you made on SovalValtos' talk page a week or so ago. Two editors have looked at the Dorking article and have very kindly given me feedback (their comments are on the talk page). I wanted to ask your opinion on the next steps. Do you feel that the article is ready for WP:GAN or would it be better if it went to a formal peer review first? What would you advise? Thanks and best wishes, Mertbiol (talk) 18:33, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mertbiol - apologies, real life very busy at present. Will look this weekend. KJP1 (talk) 21:19, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks KJP1, this is very kind of you. I've just seen your comments on the talk page. I'll respond to you there. Mertbiol (talk) 11:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chepstow War Memorial

Will this help? Ghmyrtle (talk) 23:35, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats KJP1 on a very tidy new article. Certainly a start not a stub! Martinevans123 (talk) 23:43, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi both - great to hear from you and hope you are keeping well in my favourite corner of our locked-down country. And thanks Ghmyrtle for the excellent paper. That was a labour of love. The Evill/Francis connections are interesting. They must have known each other, or at least each other’s families in turn of the century Chepstow. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 18:24, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's information there about how the War Memorial was commissioned, which could be included in the article, and the information on those commemorated could be summarised. If it's not added as a source, I would have thought it could be added as an external link. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:47, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes indeed, I think it can probably be used for both. Thanks again. KJP1 (talk) 08:56, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave it to you - per WP:SELFCITE! Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:27, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're in! KJP1 (talk) 11:37, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's not quite what I meant.... but thank you! Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:07, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stackpole Elidor

Was going to start a new article on this Grade I Pembs church, but thought I would check first that you weren't already doing it. T. Tony Holkham (Talk) 16:01, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tony Holkham - Good to hear from you, and hope life is as good as it can be in these frustrating times. I long to see family in Wales again! Nope, Stackpole’s not on my to-do list, but thanks for asking. So have at it!. Not sure if you’ve got the Pevsner - if not, let me know and I’ll copy out the entry on your Talkpage. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 18:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't have Pevsner so would be grateful for that. Still keeping our heads down here in the west, but hoping with better weather and falling casualties that things will soon improve. We have folks in England we haven't seen since 2019. Keep safe. T. Tony Holkham (Talk) 19:10, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
	I didn't get a chance earlier, but I wanted to thank you for your encouragement, support and gentle guidance with Lord Goff of Chieveley when it was at FAC, and for your kind message when it was at TFA. They made a difference. :) Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 04:11, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kohlrabi Pickle - That’s very kind. It was my absolute pleasure. KJP1 (talk) 07:02, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

St Mary of the Angels Church, Brownshill

Months ago you asked me for a photo of St Mary of the Angels Church, Brownshill. I have now been able to take a few - feel free to change the one I have put in the infobox & on Friends of Friendless Churches for any others in commons category. Sorry it has taken so long but with COVID & the bad weather I have not been able to get there until now.— Rod ^talk 16:32, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rodw - Rod, you are an absolute star! That missing image was bugging the hell out of me. Thanks so much, and I hope you had an enjoyable trip. It is so good to be able to get out again, albeit in a limited way. KJP1 (talk) 16:36, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is up a very small lane & difficult to access, but is was nice & sunny (also managed a trip to Brimscombe to look at the old canal as part of the same trip).— Rod ^talk 16:40, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Memstead

I own the property and am putting in the proper informed. If they want to sanction me feel free. Memstead (talk) 21:18, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Llangarron

Hello KJP1. Hope you are well. You've not come across this one yet? You might be interested. Kind regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:40, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

, Done. KJP1 (talk) 06:21, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And very well done on creating Church of St Deinst, Llangarron so quickly! Martinevans123 (talk) 08:22, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ham House

I see the excellent people at Ham House have put the article up for GAN. Do you fancy – and have you time for – reviewing it? You'd of course be better equipped than I am from the architecture/decor point of view, but I'm happy to do it if you're unavailable. Best wishes, Tim talk 16:31, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tim riley - Yes, I think I will. But if you had the opportunity to review the prose as part of the GAN, that would be most helpful. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 17:08, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. Tim riley - I just had a thought. I did do a bit of work or this, which may preclude me from reviewing. I shall ask. If it does, if you picked it up, I would be very pleased to do a supplementary review of the architecture/history within the GAN. KJP1 (talk) 17:10, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. If your contributions are seen to rule you out as reviewer I'll do the review but invite you to add your comments to the review page. Otherwise happy to add a prose review to your main review. Tim talk 17:28, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tim riley - Tim, there is a view that I’ve too many edits to review. Shall we proceed as you suggest above. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 05:47, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, and right and proper. I've done a first review, mainly on the prose rather than the substance. It will be a great help to the main authors and indeed to me if you add your expert – kindly don't disclaim the adjective – thoughts. I enjoyed revisiting the article. The authorial enthusiasm leaps from the page. – Tim riley talk 13:00, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NB: I've got the relevant guidebooks on order for the plan etc. Should hopefully arrive by mid-week, and I'll get on with those. Hchc2009 (talk) 20:39, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hchc2009 - H, you’re a star. Many thanks indeed. KJP1 (talk) 21:16, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Try this: File:Ham House - labelled ground plan.png and see if it suits. Turns out there was a Crown Copyright version published back in 1959; have cleaned it up, etc. etc. Am working on how best to present the gardens... Hchc2009 (talk) 17:42, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
