Morbid jealousy thanks

Thank you for restoring Morbid jealousy back to its proper name today. This article, once called Delusional jealousy, was renamed Morbid jealousy by semi-consensus (two editors) in April 2010 for the same reason you gave in your edit summary. The article seems to attract attention in short spurts, but then lies mostly fallow for months. Let's hope this settles the matter. --Seduisant (talk) 20:35, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Numbers

I agree with you that the number can be 1200 or 1,200. The reason I reverted it to 1200 (no comma) is that 1200 (no comma) is how it appeared when that fact was first added on 23 November 2009 and it was still that way on 16 August 2011.

Cima della Bondasca

Hi Ericoides. I'm glad you're ok with my changes (I think I will also have to check the coordinates now). Actually the situation is quite complicated since there are several unnamed summits on the Swiss map (can't find the Italian maps), but a Google Books search tends to confirm that Cima della Bondasca and Pizzo del Ferro centrale are the same summit and I think it makes sense to indicate the altitude of the highest point rather than a lower summit (it was Pizzo occidentale in this case). The Italian version it:Cima della Bondasca looks like a very decent article to me and I think I could be able to translate it. ZachG (Talk) 19:16, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Bentley Beetham

I notice you’ve already had a discussion with Parsecboy about this, but as it was me that brought it up I feel somewhat responsible.
I was just working through Jonas/Spellmaster75's back catalogue, and was considering whether revert this edit, for the reasons Parsec gave, but it occurs to me that as the main contributor to this article the preference on spelling is really up to you.
On the subject of the spelling, there’s a long/interminable discussion on the matter at Talk:Spitsbergen, which led to an explanatory paragraph in the article, agreed by everyone concerned (except Jonas): In a nutshell "Spitzbergen" was the standard spelling in English throughout the 19th century, and (in Britain at least) well into the 20th, though in America it changed earlier. It still crops up, particularly in sources for naval history of the Second World War, for example (which is one of my interests) and in edits by Brits of a certain age, which is why it’s a legitimate alternative spelling. And the point of WP:ENGVAR is to stop us squabbling over different spellings, by requiring we leave things as they were written.
Jonas wasn’t banned just for this BTW (though it’s a symptom of the larger issues) and it isn’t acceptable that people thumb their nose to the community and get away with it, hence my response to him.
Anyway, I hope this helps... Xyl 54 (talk) 14:54, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Daisy

I see the above.

I don't supppose you have any theatrical antecedents, Ericoides? I have been writing an article on the silent film star Daisy Burrell, born in 1893. I think I may be the first to attempt it, apart from 'Who Was Who in the Theatre, which is more or less self-written, like Who's Who. Daisy seems to disappear into thin air about 1924, reappears briefly after 1945 and disappears again about 1947. I can trace no date of death for her. There were women of that name who got married in the 1920s, both at home and in the US, but none of them seems to fit. 'Burrell' sounds to me too plain to be a stage name, but 'Daisy' may be. It may be that she intentionally vanished, like one of Charlie Chaplin's mistresses, but I wonder if you have any thoughts? Moonraker (talk) 14:10, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks. Your friend may have access to sources I don't know about, or even the right centenarians. I couldn't think of anyone to ask. Greetings, Moonraker (talk) 14:20, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Bentworth

Interesting. Photos of the hamlets in the parish, Star and Sun Inn, and modern ones of some of the houses would be good of course! Yeah it did need a considerable effort as if I was reviewing it I'd have failed it on the spot. I've already made some major improvements, I should have it whipped into shape in the next day or two.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:18, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Oo lovely. Did you get photos of the war memorial and Hankin tomb at the church, just been writing about them.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:48, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Great quality pics too, nice one! Amazing how quickly the quality can improve with reediting and some good photos..♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:45, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I know what you mean. Gaston Grange, the manor and Hall Farm are the ones that particularly intrigue as does the war memorial in the graveyard! Maybe you can capture those on another day, but you've been a great help with the ones taken so far.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:08, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I think Hall Farmhouse is the same as Bentworth Hall?♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:13, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

South Col

Hi there - referring back to a 2009 edit of yours at South Col. Under "Traversed by" you put that the 1952 Swiss expedition "did not traverse the Col" - I'm a little confused by this. First, that it's a contradiction, and second...didn't they traverse it on their way up? They went to the Western Cwm, and on to the South Col, and from there up to 8595m. I can't find any information that they didn't traverse it. I didn't want to just make the edit because maybe you have more information than I do. -Etoile ✩ (talk) 02:52, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Friedrich Schiller's skull

Hi,

Thanks for the changed you made to that article. I have partially reverted onof them for the following reason. I suppose you thought calling Goethe "revered" might be POV'ish. I get where you're coming from so I toned it down a bit, though seeing as he's almost a national hero in Germany as far as writers go I think the way I rephrased it shouldn't be too controversial. Also, I feel like that short explanation of who he was is in order since I don't think everyone will know.

With a height of x

Ok, sure! I wasn't aware of that (it's not a translation from German actually, just my bad English). I generally prefer to avoid parentheses in articles hence the "with" phrase for peaks that are particularly high. Now I think I'll use something like "culminating at an altitude of" or "reaching a height of" instead (seem to be ok according to Google books). Does it sound better to you? ZachG (Talk) 11:59, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

No, I don't really speak German so I don't even know if the German construction you mentioned is correct. I think my English is probably influenced by French, although when I write something I don't usually translate anything, I just think in English and check if the expression is correct.

DYK "nompage" parameter

Hi, just a note for future reference. The "nompage" parameter of {{DYK nompage links}} is used to specify the location of the nomination page, and it is not necessarily the same as the name of the article. When you changed this parameter, it made the nomination page unusable. Incidentally, although I personally prefer a space between a person's initials, there is no consensus that it should always be that way. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

2m > 4m

Hello,

The boundaries on Template:Wikipedias follow a 1-2-5-10-20-50 etc pattern. I think it would be silly to make the highest bracket deviate from this pattern just because the only language currently in that bracket happens to have over 4m articles. One day, other languages will have 2m+ articles and move up to this bracket. That's why I want to keep to boundaries as they are.

When English reaches 5m, a new bracket for 5m+ can be created.
Kind regards, HansM

Church articles

You seem to be on a mission to rid church article names of their full stops. Why? -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:09, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

• I'm British (but also rather old fashioned) but prefer to see the full stop. Deep down, however, I'm not concerned either way and don't propose to get into a dispute about this (especially as I am about to go away for an extended holiday). One thing I would ask, however, is that for the Southampton churches you alter the template ({{Buildings in Southampton}}) so it points to the new article titles. Cheers. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:29, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Mountaineering in Europe

The Category:Mountaineering in Europe has the advantage of grouping together articles re the Alps which overlap various countries (as national boundaries tend to run along the highest part of mountain ranges!). The Everest category covers the mountaineering articles for the mountain regardless of country too.

Lauterbrunnen Wall

Thanks for your message. I visited Switzerland as a tourist and took some photographs, including some around Lauterbrunnen. When I saw the picture given here (at the top), on the Lauterbrunnen page with the caption that it was part of the Lauterbrunnen Wall, I guessed that the picture I had posted (File:Lauterbrunnen Wall.JPG) was that of Lauterbrunnen Wall. Now, you say that it is not. I am sure it is picture of the same rock face. You can even see the waterfall at the extreme left end of my picture. Here is another picture of the place I had taken (bottom picture). The earlier picture was a longer view showing the entire wall and the lower picture here is a closer view showing only a part of the wall. If you still think that this is not Lauterbrunnen Wall then the one at the top is wrongly captioned and it should be corrected. Moreover, to say that it was a minor rock face is a totally incorrect assessment. It was the largest rack face in the area. Cheers - Chandan Guha (talk) 06:40, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

• I now see why you thought it was the Wall. I've amended the wrongly captioned pic on the Lauterbrunnen page to include the phrase "the Lauterbrunnen Wall in cloud (background)". The Wall isn't the bit of rock on the right. It's a big bit of rock, but compared with the north face of the Jungfrau opposite it, for instance, it's tiny! Ericoides (talk) 07:20, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

• • It's clearer in this pic: the rock you've posted is in the foreground, right. The Wall is the massive, snowy mountain wall in the background, centre. Ericoides (talk) 07:23, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanations. Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 11:30, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

You might be interested to know that the "small" wall in the foreground right is named Mürrenflue on the Swisstopo maps, which means "wall of Mürren" (it is right below the village of Mürren). ZachG (Talk) 12:30, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Why not me?

Hello there. First of all thanks for your interest. The question is I am really very clumsy about the use of a computer; this makes me believe (since I learned -not without difficulties- how to add a photo to an email a couple of years ago, from a nephew) that the younger generation always has a way to make things easier than me... All the best. --E4024 (talk) 17:58, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

words and numbers

No problem. I had an English master who used to say "in algebra Arabic figures are useful", or words to that effect. A few decades on I don't like to step out of line. Oddly enough, the man is still alive and has a user account here. Moonraker (talk) 16:04, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Band

I take your point, it's a question of what his profession was at the time, if, indeed, he had one, which it seems he didn't. I suspect some of the earlier alpinists would have had little time for the idea that everyone needs a profession. Indeed, one or two old men I knew used to put "gentleman" in the space in their passports for occupation, when there was one. How about this, we could say for Band "None - recent graduate in [whatever his subject was at the University]" ? Moonraker (talk) 19:07, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

It's a bit obscure whether he was a post-graduate student at Imperial College at the time. I think I'll make it just "graduate in geology". Moonraker (talk) 19:16, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Award for Tenzing Norgay

This was a minor challenge. Trying every version of his names I could think of, I didn't find anything at all in the London Gazette. Perhaps it wasn't used because he wasn't a British subject? I eventually tracked down an announcement from 10, Downing Street, which was reported in The Times on 2 July 1953, confirming that he got the George Medal for the Everest expedition. I've added a note on the Times article to Tenzing Norgay and the 1953 British Mount Everest Expedition. Moonraker (talk) 06:00, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

The ODNB (which is notoriously slipshod, of course) says "He was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1849 and was called to the bar in 1852, but did not practise". That may not be entirely correct, and we can rarely be certain of a negative, but the fact that Hinchliff still had chambers in 1857 doesn't mean he was getting any work as a barrister, or even looking for any. Think of Uncle Tom in Rumpole. If you ask me to guess what happened, he hadn't got stuck into the law by the time his father died in 1856, and after that he had enough of a private income to get on with doing what he felt like. In the mid 19th century very few people admired men who worked when they didn't need to. However, I don't have a source for such guesswork, and I'm comfortable with the page as it is.

Hi Ericoides, yes I too have mutual acquaintances and knew he was a retired Wing Commander! I'm interested in getting Bentworth to FA, and if need be I could go out any time and take pictures, but the problem is that I don't have a good working camera (I got a 5 megapix phone though). These past few days have been very nice, so we could make the most out of the clear skies!

January 2014 Cairo bombings

In regard to he ITN nomination, you should be aware I am not an admin, so it is not my opinion that will ultimately matter as to whether this is posted--I'm just a "regular contributor". My advice would be either to broaden the January 2014 Cairo bombings article to include the other anniversary goings on, or to have this article as a redirect at the head of a bombing section under such a broader article, if one exists. Then a blurb like A series of bombings take 7 lives amid widespread anniversary rioting. μηδείς (talk) 20:06, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Stilton

Just in case you stopped checking the Science ref desk, here is my reply there. No need for an answer, and wishing you good luck in your search.

The most official thing I can find is [1], the British gov’s product specification for Stilton. Unfortunately, it simply refers to penicillium roqueforti without specifying how this mould is grown (as I understand it, the worries are if the mould is grown on bread, some wheat could be transferred to the cheese). However, it also contains contact info for the official makers’ organization, if you wanted to follow up.

The only promising scholarly reference I found [2] doesn’t make the crucial page available (for me, perhaps you will have better luck). 184.147.135.33 (talk) 21:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Re: Ankogel

Hello and Happy New Year, from the RLC. Yes, I know a good one: the official Austrian topo map (the website is terrible and you may need to reload the page, when it works enter "Ankogel" on the left, click the go button then double click on Ankogel in the menu below), which gives 3,252 m. 3,246 m probably comes from older books or maps, so I'd replace it, especially when both List of highest mountains of Austria and List of mountains of the Alps above 3000 m (which is mainly the work of Afasmit) use 3,252 m.

Mekong Expedition

Hi Man!
Sorry - i know, this is awful and mean, having someone run (and scratch his inarticulate cacophony) over your (soon to be published) concept. Shame on me!!!
Usually NOBODY shares my articles. So maybe i have a great team-mate for the first time. Just go ahead and edit - as you like. I am not an English native speaker - naturally you have much more to contribute in the way of form, style, accuracy and so on.
I know - many users are after page creation - even if they have zero content for it. Pisses me off...sometimes. Anyhow i think i still have a few ideas for related articles. (e.g. the Pavie missions or Mc Leod's travels) Maybe i can help with your next article, though
All the best!!!

Proposed deletion of Lauterbrunnen Wall

The article Lauterbrunnen Wall has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This term does not exist as such. It is neither an official term, nor used by locals.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I have been tagging for the under-tagged Mountains project (about 50 percent or more categories with mountains in the title never tagged to be related to the project) and have found more blank categories than I have for most projects for the mountains of the alps - and about to correct all my mistakes there - is there any reason why the project seems to have no one interested in tagging, or just accident ?

For instance - at mountains of the alps category talk page - it has been tagged at mountains alps task force - which redirects to the mountains of the alps project - is it that no one has gone in and cleaned up? JarrahTree 08:24, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Response

(I posted this response on my talk page which you might not see, so posting here. I've not used the messaging or talk feature before). Mark Cavendish is Manx as he was born in the Isle of Man. The Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom, therefore, it isn't appropriate to have the United Kingdom in the 'Country' field. What you were insisting on was incorrect. It really is that simple. To achieve a healthy middle ground, I have changed the 'Country' field to 'Country Represented (Not necessarily country of birth or nationality)', which I think is a good compromise as nothing is being misrepresented now.

Alligator /Orsk

I don't think we should have this information in the article as of yet. For once, a twitter account (especially one by one of the belligerents) is not a reliable source. Secondly, the current link does not even state that the ship in question is the "Orsk", but according to Google Translate simply says "Berdyansk !!! The occupiers are burning well!" And finally, there are conflicting reports about the identity of the destroyed- it is not yet clear whether it was the "Orsk", the "Saratov" or both (see for example https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1506922587112284163). I think it would be best to wait some days until the smoke clears (literally, in this case) and we have reliable information. Best wishes, SEM (talk) 10:37, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
