L&HR history[edit]

I thought the Fairburns both belonged to the Mahers, one each to Austin & Charlie?

Is there any citation for the (quite ludicrous, even in the mid-70s) "scheme" to reconnect through Greenodd?

Is it time we had a category of "British railway preservationists" (ideas?) for articles like your (most welcome) Peter Beet, Eric Treacy et al.? Andy Dingley (talk) 03:38, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, hope this finds you well! I thought that as well re the Fairburns, but this pdf (Googlised quick-cache version) from an official GCR press-release for 42085 suggests otherwise. Yes, I think there is a need for a category along the lines of British steam preservationaists: perhaps start as a list? Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 03:42, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bickershaw[edit]

You might be interested in this. [1] Page 4. I'm very interested in coalmines and the Leigh area , I hope you don't mind me interfering.--J3Mrs (talk) 14:14, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I hope this finds you well! I think "positive interference" is one of the things that you have to accept as an editor around here, and its particularly welcome when you find someone who has interest in a subject and knowledge of an area. I will make a read of that ref later, must get and do some work now! By the way, there are clearly other collieries in the area, but as this one was the last to close, there is much better information and nice pics in commons for it. If I have a crack at some others, would you be willing to bring some further knowledge? Best Regards, --Trident13 (talk) 14:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm having a crack at the Manchester Collieries, Westleigh is on the Wigan coalfield but I'm sure I can "interfere" when I can. Nice to find someone else interested in coal. I think I know where I can find some refs. --J3Mrs (talk) 14:27, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Just wondering how serious you are about "in 1873 Mordecai Jones from Brecon and now residing in Nantmelyn. . ." That makes him about 137 years old :) Your source gives the year as 1874 in one place, and 1873 in another. Wikipedia has Crawshay Bailey dying in 1872. What's going on here, old son? Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 10:43, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Brian, pleased to make your acquaintance - I hope that this finds you well! I think (happy to be corrected) that the timeline works on this one as follows: Crawshay Bailey died in 1872, meaning that the lease takeover of the farm and development of the mine from 1874 seems correct. Secondly, a Mordecai Jones died in 1880 in Wales, aged 67; meaning that the takeover date to Locket's Merthyr Company around 1880 seems about right, and his age is within human bounds. Thoughts? I have adjusted the article to make it clearer as to why Lockett's took over the site. Best Regards, --Trident13 (talk) 17:54, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Aha! Good. I took the liberty of making this a lease (not sale). Also (in line with similar edits to Blantyre mining disaster), I've capitalised the pit names (because they're proper nouns) and also linked the article to the relevant UK disaster list.

Class NG G13 & Class NG G16[edit]

Destructive editing – that’s highly encouraging.

(→Gallery: don't need a gallery, we have commons)
If a gallery is not allowed, why is there provision for it? Each of those pictures were put there for a reason, for example to illustrate the different models from different manufacturers described in the text and show different paint schemes. Or is the thousand words preferable? (Incidentally, the combination NG G13/NG G16 “mother” article had a gallery of eight pictures, five of them of the same green locomotive.)

(remove duplication and pointless sections - remove gallery, we have commons - edit for flow)
Duplication of some information between independent articles is inevitable when similar locomotive types are the subject, eg Garratts as in this case. The alternative would be one combined article on all 22 Garratt classes operated by the SAR, which would be huge. Now that would be pointless. Agreed on the “flow” bit.

(→SAR Number Plates: who cares? Put it in a seperate article)
(→Numbering system: totally irrelevant to this article)
I care. And I disagree. I did combine the offending sections and relocated it to the end of the article.

(→Manufacturers: reduce gross over-linking)
Good, that was constructive, thank you. I reduced it some more.

Categories for Scotch Egg and Welsh Rabbit[edit]

Kindly do not accuse your fellow-editors of vandalism without good evidence, and kindly do not patronize me with a 'new user' message -- see WP:CIVIL. You had added Category:Scottish cuisine to Scotch egg and Category:Welsh cuisine to Welsh rabbit; I removed those categories, because -- as I explained in the edit summary -- there is nothing in the articles indicating that these dishes are actually Scottish and Welsh, any more than Indian pudding is Category:Indian cuisine or Category:Native American cuisine. You mention reference 2 in the article -- this refers to the OED, which defines Welsh rabbit as "A dish consisting of cheese and a little butter melted and mixed together..." and does not say that it is a Welsh dish (though of course it is called 'Welsh'). Please restore my edits. Thanks, --Macrakis (talk) 18:57, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maerdy Branch[edit]

Hi, re this pair of edits -

  • where is the source for an 1800 opening date to justify Category:Railway lines opened in 1800? I realise that Railscot states "1800 Rhondda Valley Branches (Taff Vale Railway) Extension to Maerdy opened by buying a private line from Ferndale to Maerdy.", but that is highly suspect - the TVR wasn't incorporated until 21 June 1836, the first section (Cardiff-Abercynon) opening 8 October 1840; the line between Pontypridd and Dinas Rhondda being opened 10 June 1841, so they would hardly have been in a position to buy other undertakings some 40 years earlier.
  • how can the GWR have introduced steam railmotors to the line in 1900, when they didn't actually possess any until 1903?
  • why would the GWR have operated railmotors on this TVR branch, when the nearest connection to the GWR was at Quakers Yard?

After several years of discussion the consensus was to split the Reading to Plymouth Line article into three articles - Bristol to Exeter line, Reading to Taunton line, and Exeter to Plymouth line. The split has now been done, though fairly crudely as I am not an expert on the subject. It will need an expert eye to look at it and smooth out the edges.

Davinia Taylor[edit]

Hi there, regarding this edit, when the anonymous editor added the fact to the article, I had checked for sources before removing it, but I wasn't sure whether or not Female First met our reliable sources guideline. Do you know anything that indicates it's a reliable source? To be honest, I don't really doubt that she is pregnant, but we're looking for "verifiability, not truth", and as I'm sure you're aware, BLPs need reliable, good quality sources for such information. I did mention to the IP that it looks like there is an OK article or interview, which would be fine. I don't happen to have a copy of OK myself. I'm not going to revert you, but I am a little concerned about that source. --BelovedFreak 10:04, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Savile Row[edit]

I noticed that you have been working on the Savile row page, and I have a couple of questions. Do you think the amendments that 81.139.94.126 made today are correct. The information removed was relevant and referenced. I am not as experienced as you, should I undo this change?

The other question I have is I noticed that you have removed some tailors that are not on savile row, but are classed in the industry as "Savile Row" tailors. I am specifically referring to Anderson Sheppard, Edward Sexton and Dougy Haywood. They are definitely very relevant to the history of Savile Row and have contributed largely to what it has become? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmontefiore (talkcontribs) 14:57, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your message, and welcome to Wikipedia! The Savile Row article caught my attention in October 2009, when it looked like a piece of spam, and had a peacock tag on it. The problem with the article is that it attracts a lot of interested parties from the tailoring world, and internet pro's working for tailoring houses trying to increase Google rankings and traffic. We also get a fair few fashion students, who don't understand the basic rules here of us being an encyclopedia and not some form of tailoring-ego alter! I don't know your experience in the fashion world or even Savile Row itself, but some interest and experitise is always welcome - happy to help you create something better. If you work for one of the tailors, then please read WP:COI - but you can still edit all the other stuff if a conflict of interest occurs.
The mian "core" of the article now seems better, focused on the main tailoring brands/shops, but the point you make on the other tailors off of Savile Row brings the point of how to balance the geography of the location, with the wider meaning of the name, ie: if they are not on Savile Row itself, how far do we geographically extend the list of tailors? If too far, is there a need for a separate article on Tailoring in London, before the article again becomes a Spam house?
In the case of the edits of 81.139.94.126, there is a main article for Tommy Nutter - also one for Edward Sexton at present. Hence the on-page article focus in that area should be kept to the essentials: when started, what, why were they notable, key dates. Everything else should be placed on the main article for that (tailor) - hence the wikitag is called WP:MAIN.
You have to remember here that much as though there are rules, much as you have done with me, engaging other editors is often a better approach than arguing over what in retrospect could be trivial points. Get consensus, then record that on the articles talkpage so there's a record, then move forward. If I can help you with anything further, please - just ask! With Best Regards, --Trident13 (talk) 17:33, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for your informative answer. I have taken on board what you have said, and set up my user page. I think it is on the right track and represents what I want to do and my experience well, but am open for constructive criticism.

The Savile Row proximity issue, is a difficult one. Is a Savile Row Tailor one who works on Savile Row, or one makes suits to "Savile Row standards"? One should also consider that if a suit is made by a firm on Savile row in a workshop elsewhere in London, or even abroad is it then a "Savile Row suit"? You may well say who cares! The fact is that this is a very grey area and I often hear about people being suits as 'Savile Row suits" or "bespoke suits" and not getting what they expect. There are very few impartial sources clarifying this issue, I feel the nature of a wikipedia article about this would benefit people from outside the trade looking for more information on custom made suits.

While I have been writing this I was thinking about the solution. What do you think about the idea of me and some members of The Savile Row Bespoke Association working together to produce pages for Savile Row Suit and Bespoke Suit, so that the Savile row article can just be about the geographical place and its history?

I plan to prepare in-detail article changes to the TommyNutter and Edward Sexton articles making them more informative and better quality. I will invest some time preparing this and planto show some more experienced users (like yourself if you are interested) before publishing to make sure that I am intending improving the articles.

Radio people[edit]

Hello. Thanks for keeping an eye on John Myers (radio executive) and Scottie McClue. I suspect both articles attract editors affiliated with the subject from time to time. I can honestly declare that I have no affiliation with either, and I strive to be neutral.
I worked on the lead to Myers last night, which you removed this morning? I don't see much wrong with this version: it's a neutral summary of the article, which is what a lead should be! Is it OK to reinstate this? I think that its previous form was problematic, but my improvements made it acceptable.
However, we do need to keep an eye for genuine promotional language and COI. I noticed a lot of "Mr Lamont" creeping in to Scottie McClue. The JPStalk to me 09:20, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. I'm concerned at your edi summary here. The WP:LEAD should summarise the article; content being in the article is not a valid reason for removing it from the lead. I would be interested discuss this with you, rather than engaging in an edit way. If you disagree, perhaps Wikipedia:Third opinion might be a way forward.The JPStalk to me 10:15, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Can I ask first for your relationship to the radio industry/Mr Myers? Like this anon editor, you seem to want to add an overly promotional intro, making it look more like an advert? This article seems prone to overtly promotional text. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 10:17, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Old Trafford[edit]

To state the obvious, Lancashire play at Old Trafford. But Old Trafford is no longer in Lancashire (just as Edgbaston is no longer in Warwickshire) and our naming convention is that we use current counties. Please either create a very small category for Greater Manchester or leave it as it was. Regards, Mr Stephen (talk) 01:08, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to sort out Category:Cricket grounds in England. There are not presently enough cricket ground articles in Greater Manchester - which I know is a "county" - so hence left the Category:Sport in Trafford as well as adding Category:Cricket grounds in Lancashire. Hence, much as though I am aware of the convention of naming, creating a One or Two article category is pointless. I therfore choose the better option, meeting a balance between the differing guidelines. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 01:17, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am unconvinced. A quick look suggests there are two grounds in Greater Manchester with WP articles. This is not many, obviously, but is a similar number to some other county categories (eg Cumbria which you created recently). Cheshire CCC also play at grounds in Marple and Cheadle, so there is the possibility of more to come. Either way, OT is not in Lancashire. Regards, Mr Stephen (talk) 11:01, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) There must be dozens, even if not well-known outside their immediate localities. For a start, a quick check of the Central Lancashire League shows that most of their 16 current member clubs are based within Greater Manchester - the only exception that I noticed is Walsden. So, 15 grounds to keep old Trafford company. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:44, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment, but why did you then in this edit link it to Folly Farm located in Somerset? To create a disambiguation page today, I have now moved that article to Folly Farm, Somerset, and hence why I moved your incorrectly inserted link also.

Category:Villages in Somerset[edit]

Could I ask for some help or comments on Category:Villages in Somerset. Over the last few days, inspired your work and that of others, the 400+ articles in this category have been moved into the relevant sub categories ie: Category:Villages in Bath and North East Somerset, Category:Villages in Mendip, Category:Villages in North Somerset, Category:Villages in Sedgemoor, Category:Villages in South Somerset, Category:Villages in Taunton Deane and Category:Villages in West Somerset. There are still 9 articles in the parent cat, most of which are either parishes containing one or more villages or suburbs of larger towns and I am unsure whether village in X applies. The others are Bruton which says town rather than village in the article, so I am unsure and Northover which covers more than 1 village!.

Post-war prefab houses[edit]

This is my first time of updating a Wikipedia entry and am at a loss of how to continue......I have read the rules and the specific articles that you directed me to, but still do not know how to proceed.

I notice that you are one of the top 400 people who update Wikipedia and would therefore appreciate your guidance, rather than just undo your removal again.

I lived in the prefabs on Wanstead flats from 1947-1959, so the topic is of particular interest to me.

Your original article is extremely good at describing the prefabs themselves and their history, but makes no reference to the social history for the people who lived there which is what I am trying to add to this article, referencing studies performed and published by other sources (including an existing Wikipedia reference to the Young and Willmott study in 1957).

What am I missing here to get this aspect added to your original article........??

By the way.......I have some photos, if you are interested, of the prefabs we lived in and have no idea what model of prefab they are........ is there some way I can send them to you, for you to identify what model they are.......??

Help with this would be much appreciated........

Thankyou.......Colin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colin 68dots (talkcontribs) 09:20, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Colin, I hope that this finds you well! Lets see if I can help you out and educate you here! First things first, read the welcome notes that I placed on your page - it will give you a far better idea of what the base rules, but simply all are welcome. Yes, you can muck up an article, but its easy to revert!
The easiest place to learn is in a stub page, and its also a place where you can create an article and drag stuff in/take as much time as you want to create something, before others - yes, like me - come long and critic/edit it. I have created you a personal stubs page here. On that page you will find three further pages:
Now, you can play around and edit these as much as you want, the only thing I have done is remove the categories by removing the first [[ from them - so they are not indexed!
I think there is something in your edits. I create the original article as a collection point for all things prefab - took me nearly three months to create the thing - but your piece to me seemd to skim across a number of issues:
    • Post War British society
    • British society and its changes post war
    • British working communities and their relationships
    • The relationship between community and architecture
I'd like to help you create your first article, which I think your edits suggest is easily capable. The question now is what is it about, and does it stand on its own or within something else? I sugget that you go have an edit or two on either the existing stubs I have created for you, or create your own new stub and have a think. Happy to help, much as though my drive towards the subject was from an architectural direction, buildings only existing for and within a society.
Re your pictures, don't upload those yet! There are licensing issues associated with pictures which are a fun issue in themselves, and also you need to recognise once loaded they are free-licensed so that anyone can use them.

Glamorgan buildings[edit]

Noticed some of your category tidying through my watchlist and didn't want to step on your toes, so thought I'd check first. Are you, like me, of the view that Category:Buildings and structures in Glamorgan and its subcategories should be deprecated in favour of categorisation by existing Welsh counties? Category:Buildings and structures in Wales by county, after all, does not seem to be based on historic / ceremonial counties, hence the use of Bridgend / Conwy county boroughs etc rather than their historic predecessors. Glamorgan, and the nearly-unused Gwent, are the two odd ones out here, I think. BencherliteTalk 13:43, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your mesage, I hope that this finds you well! We seem to have a bit of an issue in Wales between the old counties at two levels (ie: Glamorgan and Gwent), and the new counties. Everything seems to need to be catagorised at three levels in places, which just makes things confusing. I think most of the middle stuff (like Gwent), has been removed, and the old stuff could be worth keeping as most of the historical sections relate to those old counties. But does it need to include buildings and other stuff (ie: the M4?), that clearly were not built in the middle ages? I think its a debate worth taking to the WikiProject Wales TalkPage. In the mean time, I pushed some articles down into the new counties from Category:Sport in Glamorgan - personally, a good example of where the old county was hindering development of the new counties categories. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 07:16, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All well here, thanks. What I've done is push all the rest of the articles in "buildings and structures / listed buildings in Glamorgan" categories into appropriate "B&S / listed buildings in New County Borough" categories, reflecting modern location, adding {{container}} to the Glamorgan categories and a note that they should only be used for sub-cats by modern counties, then made the modern county categories sub-cats of the Glamorgan category. That way, someone who wants to start browsing at the new county level will find the buildings in that county, and someone who starts at the old county level will find the buildings through the new county subcategories. How does that approach sound to you? There are some awkwardnesses at the edges, since according to that well-known reliable source Wikipedia Caerphilly has switched between the preserved county of Gwent and that of Glamorgan (or was it the other way round?) making "buildings in Caerphilly CB" an anomolous one when choosing parent categories, but I think it works most of the time.

The issue concerns whether the SABMiller template should be included on Poland-related SAB articles, and whether the SAB template should include the brands and main subsidiaries/joint ventures of SAB.

Exercise category removals[edit]

I had a look at your contributions to try and see why you removed |Category Exercise from Dance and Health and it seems you are removing it from a lot of other things I'd have though rather relevant too and I don't see why. The Dance and health article deals specifically with the benefits and problems of dance as an exercise. What are the criteria or why are you doing this thanks? Dmcq (talk) 16:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message - I hope that this finds you well! I was trying to clarify the articles in Category:Exercise, and it appears that a number of what at some point were unrelated articles which were sat within other categories are now sat twice in that category once someone had moved the main catgeory under Exercise. Hence Dance and health sits under the Category:Dance and is listed in Exercise, as is the article Dance. In recategorising Dance and health I felt that the health bit was less exercise orientated and more helath orientated, hence my re-cat. But if you have a strong preference or objection, I have no set position on the issue. Best Regards, --Trident13 (talk) 18:29, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Trident, I see your changed this article to a redirect. I've reverted this, as the topic is a notable one and merits it's own article. In addition, if you want an article deleted please use the proper processes such as AFD. So far you seem to be accusing Chzz of using the article to spam his "own website." However, none of the linked websites appear to be owned by Chzz (or I certainly haven't seen any evidence of that) and your accusation seems to be lacking in an assumption of good faith. The article is new, and it is not fair to stifle it's growth at this early stage, please allow it to be expanded - see this essay. For similar reasons it's unfair on the article to say "no other wedding dress articles," if we took that attitude to article creation, then Wikipedia would have 0 articles! Thanks for taking the time to read this, - Kingpin13 (talk) 12:48, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dress[edit]

Please could you explain what you mean by, User:Chzz:Chzz seems just to want to promote their own website here?

I think you are very very mistaken, in claiming I have any involvement with that website. I absolutely do not.

I do not have any more interest in "that dress" than I do in e.g. Inauguration of Barack Obama, Fountain of Time , Law & Order: Criminal Intent (season 1), Suki Sugite Baka Mitai, Marco Polo, or any of the other hundreds of articles I have worked on.

My intent, in creating the article, was entirely altruistic. It is clearly a notable topic (about as clear as could be), and I resent your implication that there was any form of duplicitous behaviour. Please, retract your comment. Thank you.  Chzz  ►  12:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm truly quite shocked with what happened to that article. It was CSD-tagged after 15 minutes, then it was redirected, and then submitted for deletion discussion within the hour - despite it featuring in literally thousands of newspapers around the world. Plus, I was accused of COI.
And we wonder why Wikipedia is not attracting new editors? Sheesh.  Chzz  ►  20:31, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Leeds student edit[edit]

Hi Trident13,

I am the deputy editor for Leeds Student newspaper and I changed the Leeds Student wikipedia page back to a previous one that had the 'other alumni' list. The reason for doing so was because quite a lot of people had been asking what had happened to the list. It's a very useful tool for getting in touch with old alumni members of the paper when we are organising social events, or if we need contacts, or sometimes if we need a quote about a story that took place at Leeds University a while ago. I know there are no references for this list and this is why you removed it, but this is because it's very hard to reference such a thing. But the only people who edit this page are those who have worked on the Leeds Student paper so they are unlikely to lie. In fact, I've met many of the people who are on the alumni list at Leeds Student alumni gatherings. Finally, many students spend three hard years working on Leeds Student Newspaper and although they do not all become editors, many would like to be remembered on the wikipedia page, and the list also shows how good Leeds Student is at helping people find a way into the media world.

So, is it possible we can put the list back without references? We would all be sincerely grateful if so.

Best wishes,

Tom

Dominique Strauss-Kahn[edit]

Hi. I see you took out the word "sodomized" and put "sexual assault" because you said it was too serious to have without a reference. Can I ask you not to make edits to subjects which are you not familiar with? And if you are still unfamiliar with them, then at least do a bare minimum of research before making edits? It is being reported in all the major papers that the maid said that Strauss-Kohn forced oral sex on her. I simply went to The New York Post and got a reference. Anybody can go around and remove things from Wikipedia claiming "there is no reference for it". I would guess half of Wikipedia is like that. What Wikipedia really needs is for somebody to come along and put the reference in. But when you take things out of Wikipedia, then readers who look at it after your edit do not know what was there and can't provide a reference (because they don't know what wasn't there). Please, take a second or two to verify things before just going around deleting things. If you had bothered to read any of the articles on the Strauss-Kohn mess, you would have known that he sodomized her (or is alleged to have done so). Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 (talkcontribs) 00:42, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Liverpool F.C. wiki[edit]

Hello, I am the lead sysop on the Liverpool F.C. wiki. It is a wiki dedicated solely to Liverpool F.C.. We aim to make the ultimate database for the club we all love. Since adopting the incredibly inactive wiki about a month ago we have greatly increased the article count and modernized it from it's previous state. The problem is there are not many active members on the site and we need more for the site to properly grow. It is well organized and on it's way to be a great site we just need more editors to expand. It is based on Wikia's network of wikis. Like Wikipedia it is free to use and the editing process is exactly the same. If you know how to edit Wikipedia you will know how to edit the Liverpool F.C. wiki. Now for the question you may be asking yourself. Why edit there? Wikipedia has articles on Liverpool. This is true. At the Liverpool wiki it is all about Liverpool. We allow editors to edit anything about Liverpool no matter how trivial. We allow edits on reserve and academy players, and even things as trivial as the fitness coaches for the year 2011. We also do not lock pages to registered users. That means if you have something to say about Steven Gerrard you can click edit and not view source and actually write something. I would love for you to come by and check the wiki out. Feel free to edit any page. Every time you click edit your ARE helping this wiki grow.

Beakymouse (talk) 16:37, 19 September 2011 (UTC)Beakymouse[reply]

Hi, I hope that this finds you well! No, I didn't create the page on Facebook: my edit here simply changed the categories. The information on that Facebook page is simply the wikipedia article here sucked in to the Facebook page, which is an option that the Facebook page creator is offered by Facebook within the page editorial controls. Do you represent the charity, and are you trying to reclaim the brand? Facebook have some pretty tough rules on who can claim what "vanity page url" (it used to be 25 likes; as of last week it became a "claim under these rules"). If you are trying to reclaim the page for the chairty, and can prove that you represent the charity, then on that page you directed me toward there is a REPORT button in the left hand column. Follow that procedure, verify yourself as representing the charity, and they will quickly redirect the page to an authorised by the charity owner/editor. If you need any help, come back and ask, and if you do represent the charity I am more than willing to help you polish up and improve the existing article here.

Is there a definition for these?

If this category is to be useful to readers (or else why bother?) is there any need to distinguish bridges built for pedestrian traffic (often recent and narrow) and old bridges, like Monnow bridge and Over Bridge that were once major trade routes for horse or carriage traffic, but have now been pedestrianised? Both of these were active road bridges until within the last few decades. There are also rare bridges like Pontypridd where the steepness of the bridge required steps (and thus made wheeled traffic impractical) but were major horse routes.

Hi, I hope that this finds you well! In summary: great question! All that I did last night was follow the existing categories/precedents, and create a Welsh-bridge structure. I started this exercise on the back of creating at artcile for Hengoed Viaduct - a former railway bridge that is now part of National Cycle Route 47. So should it be a railway bridge, or a cycle bridge (a category that doesn't exist, hence the precedent seems to be to use pedestrian bridge as the preferred catageory).

Copyright violations in personal stubs[edit]

Hi. I noticed that a number of the pages you've listed as "personal project stubs" appear to be news stories and other material copied and pasted from elsewhere on the Internet.

Hi! I see you have only been here for a short while (May 2011), but as I have seen that you have done so little article creation, read the section on personal stub pages at Wikipedia:Subpages as that's part of their function!!! They collect - act like storages buckets - of data for potential articles. They hence generally don't fall foul of such rules that apply to the main space. Over an undefined period of time - some of mine are over 4years old - they may or may not create text on subjects which are suitable for the main space (ie: subject may not pass WP:notability, and in creation they use input from various sources, including books and other webpages. Have you ever seen or researched how one source often conflicts another, even creating differences in basic time lines? Hence why in my system I take in the key facts and supporting text (Input1, Input2, Input3 etc - Some of those are straight text copies, and some may take sections, but that's for reference/article build), and then create a new and referenced base timeline above it. Most often these days I then add a suitable infobox, and then use an article format I like/am happy with/has from that team been rated good, and create new original text suitable which could then be placed into production in the mainspace. Do you think after 5years here I don't understand copyvio??? Perhaps try a bit of article creation yourself first, and then you'll understand the difficulty of article creation.

Tunnelling in Vietnam[edit]

Hello Trident13. I'm curious about this edit [3] to Tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers. AFAIK Australian engineers in Vietnam were used to search and clear Viet Cong tunnels, but they didn't conduct offensive tunnelling in the manner that occurred during the First World War. Indeed its difficult to conceptualise how or what that would have achieved (although I admit I'm not an Engineer so perhaps my knowledge here is deficient). I'm not really sure how one can equate the battlefield circumstances of an insurgency/counter-insurgency (i.e. Vietnam) and the tactics the Australians used there, with those of the mass industrial warfare experienced 50 years earlier during the First World War. Could you please elaborate and provide references for your assertion? Otherwise I think it may need to be removed. Of course I'm happy to discuss though. Thanks in advance.

  • If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Trident13/APNC requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

  • Hello, Trident13. I came here because of the speedy deletion nomination mentioned above, and found that, as you know, various pages you have created have been deleted as copyright infringements over the last few years. Seeing another example prompted me to check through more of the pages in your userspace, and I found a few more examples. None of the exmples I have seen have been recently created, so it seems that this may be a hangover from an earlier time when you had less understanding of the issue, rather than a current problem with your editing. Nevertheless, copyright infringements cannot be allowed to remain. Since the number of pages in your user space runs to many dozens, checking them all would be a difficult and time-consuming task, and I hope I don't need to do that. Can you help by picking out any pages which you know or suspect you copied from elsewhere, and tagging them for deletion with {{db-user}}? Thanks.

    • Hello, JamesBWatson, and Trident 13 too, if you are still around. I have been going through the sub-pages and nominating for deletion, deleting myself, and removing content, where it is still possible to locate the source material of the copyright violations. All subpages are being tagged "noindex" so that they will no longer appear in Google searches. I asked Trident13 to help with this work but so far no help has been forthcoming. --Dianna (talk) 18:35, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In Contour Aerospace, you recently added links to the disambiguation pages Acton, West London and Emirates (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.

Which Book?[edit]

If you add a sentence like:

  • "In December 2010, Welsh actor Matthew Rhys bought the film rights to the book."

Which book? There could be five book, or fifty books, on the same subject.

"I bought the film rights to the World War II book." How many WW2 books are there? 5,000? You need to write like nobody has ever heard of what your are writing about. An alien from Zizzbopla just landed and wants to know. Don't ass-u-me that people know what you are thinking. > Best O Fortuna (talk) 23:29, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
