Splitting article section at article Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool
[edit]@Coldupnorth I have looked through the talk page of the article at Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool and have found that you have contributed to that particular article significant amount of improvements in its infancy, which is a great achievement for the page and to the history as well. I wanted ask you as a new editor about splitting one of the article’s main headings “Prime Minister” into a new article about events and policies that were happened or implemented during his tenure as prime minister. I have put out a discussion template for the article and no one seemed to have had responded or showed no interest whatsoever. I have talked about it with another editor, who said that he does not hold a position on the suggestion. So can you provide some sort of assistance or help in achieving this goal? Altonydean (talk) 17:12, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Altonydean Thanks for reaching out. I haven't worked on that article in a long term so thanks for a reminder to reread. I think your proposal has merit. My understanding is it is common for Prime Ministers to have more in-depth separate articles on their Premierships with a high-level overview of key items in their biography. His successor George Canning for example, has Canningite government, 1827–1828 indeed this seems also a convention to name the article after their government. A more recent example, David Cameron, has Premiership of David Cameron and Second Cameron ministry. So I think implementing this change would make sense. Unfortunately I am not able to help you with this but would endorse such a move if you wish to do it. Guidance is available at Wikipedia:Splitting and Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. I'll post a message on the article talk page too. Best of luck. Coldupnorth (talk) 08:25, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. @Coldupnorth. Your help and advice are greatly welcome. To perform the split, according to Wikipedia, I would need the support of multiple editors as well, like four or three (there is no specific number given). So, I think this might take a while for lift off and until then I have to wait for an established consensus to be issued. Again thank you. Altonydean (talk) 09:49, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Adding significant content regarding the domestic and economic policies of Winston Churchill
[edit]@Coldupnorth There is a lack of information and content on the domestic and economic policy initiatives of Winston Churchill during both his first and second premierships. I know you can’t edit like you used to and I can’t edit it myself because I’m already creating a new page for Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool with some difficulty, can you add some template or request another editor to add the said content on Churchill’s page? The content on domestic and economic affairs is important in order to read about the management of the country during and after WWII reconstruction and also during his second term as prime minister. Altonydean (talk) 16:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ah sadly I don't have much time at the moment but that's a well monitored article. You should mention on Churchill's talk page as maybe another editor can improve the domestic and economy information on his time as PM. All the best with the Robert Jenkinson article. Coldupnorth (talk) 13:42, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Coldupnorth I understand your troubles and hope you can find the appropriate time to contribute whenever you can. Happy to say that the article about the premiership of Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool had been finished. Although not entirely, but still it is mostly done. Thank you for your support throughout this process and your assistance meant a lot to me. It gave the encouragement and motivation I needed to complete this project with such success. Thank you again and I hope we can collaborate once more. Altonydean (talk) 17:12, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Jubilee Bridge (Tay)
[edit]On 19 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jubilee Bridge (Tay), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the course of the River Tay was diverted to allow the construction of the Jubilee Bridge? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jubilee Bridge, Tay. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jubilee Bridge (Tay)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
