Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tamworth, Staffordshire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Plague. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Long Itchington Links edit

The 2 changes you reverted for links in the Long Itchington page are now linking to 'page not found' sites. Should they be either updated or removed?

Indeed, it seems they either removed the pages for some reason, or there's some fault (or maintenance) on their website. I suspect the latter tbh, so the pages might be up again at some point. Either way the replacements were of no use as they didn't provide any reference to the text. I suggest leaving it for a few weeks to see if the pages come back up again. Otherwise, we'll have to find some new references. G-13114 (talk) 14:49, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Weedon station edit

If you don't already have Weedon (and maybe Weedon Bec) on your watchlist, I'd appreciate it if you would, please. I'm concerned that the advocacy campaign is beginning to annoy me and I will overreact. I'm sympathetic to the kid's wishes but this is an encylcopedia not a fanzine. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

I've been watching it. I feel that the campaign probably deserves a brief mention, as it's generated some media interest. However the campaigners are getting a bit ahead of themselves with their claims. I put it down to youthful enthusiasm and inexperience. I've raised the matter at the UK railways forum, so others can get involved. G-13114 (talk) 17:52, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Warwick (Milverton) edit

You have reverted my amendment on the location of this station. The station was located between Leamington Spa and Coventry and not between Leamington Spa and Warwick. Please re-examine my amendment.Steamybrian2 (talk) 22:11, 21 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

That referred to its geographic location, not its location on the railway. As the text explains, the station was originally built to serve both Leamington and Warwick, hence it was stuck awkwardly between the two, which is why they could never make up their mind what to call it.

Copyright concern edit

Hi there I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on the use of the lead photo in Shipston on Stour. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipston-on-Stour#/media/File%3AShipstonTownCenter.jpg

I think it's a copyrighted image and doesn't pass WP:FAIRUSE. The author has linked the website but in the photo it clearly states copyright and the website. So I don't think they had permission to upload it? DragonofBatley (talk) 18:11, 1 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Geograph edit

Hello, thanks for finding an image that folks can agree on! Did you use a tool to add the images to Commons or upload manually? I used to use Geograph2Commons but it hasn't worked for me for a while so I'm wondering if there is an alternative. NemesisAT (talk) 21:27, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I do it manually, I download the image from geograph to my computer and then upload it to commons using the basic upload form where I can use a copied and pasted geograph template. It's a bit of a faff but I've never got to grips with the tools. G-13114 (talk) 22:49, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Guild of the Holy Cross edit

 

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 Guild of the Holy Cross requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ––FormalDude talk 05:23, 25 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Did it fail to occur to you, that I was intending to create the second article which the disambiguation page was created for? If you had bothered to check you would see that I said that was what I intended to do on the talk page. Also, had you bothered to check, you would have noticed that I had moved the original article to make way for the disambiguation page for that very reason. Now the page Guild of the Holy Cross has been deleted leaving the page without any redirect, rendering this move doubly idiotic! This is what happens when things get implemented mechanically without any application of common sense! G-13114 (talk) 17:15, 26 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

WCML / Cross-City Line maps edit

Hi G-13114. I think that, in the cases of File:West Coast Main Line (edited).png and File:Cross-City Line Map (alt version).png, it would have been better upload over the original files, or even better, to ask their creator (me) to make the small changes, rather than creating near-duplicates on Commons. I have now applied the minor changes to the original files, making your uploads redundant, so could I ask you to request deletion of those to avoid future confusion? Thanks, Rcsprinter123 (state) 15:30, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

I wasn't sure whether it counted as a minor change as the policy page wasn't very clear. Also, some people aren't keen on their graphics being edited. So I thought uploading a separate version would be safer. I'll ask them to be deleted as they are not needed. G-13114 (talk) 13:44, 13 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

2021 population figures edit

I noticed your update to Daventry. Just a general caution, no idea if it is specifically relevant, but citypopulation.de can be rather unreliable because they miss details. For example, their figures for Milton Keynes have been consistently wrong. I would prefer to wait for NOMIS and do E&W in one campaign. But not my call. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:16, 11 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

They seem to usually be correct. If they don't match the more official figures we can just change them later, but in my experience they usually match up. G-13114 (talk) 22:21, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
@John Maynard Friedman: I'm more concerned with NOMIS being unreliable at least for smaller places, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/Archive 22#Proposed merge of Bircotes and Harworth. (Possibly other civil parishes)? for Drinkstone Green/Drinkstone. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Crouch, Swale: If NOMIS have failed to report ONS data accurately, call them out. They seem responsive. But as they (or maybe it was the ONS directly) acknowlege, the ONS positively declines to give parish level data where the population is so low as to make it even theoretically possible to identify specific households. That is an entirely reasonable position to take if the guarantee of anonymity is to have any meaning. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:34, 17 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Unit symbols edit

Hi, please remember that when giving measurements without using the {{convert}} template you need to leave a space between the figures and the unit symbol; e.g. 100 mph, not 100mph. Ideally it should be a non-breaking space, which looks like this 100{{nbsp}}mph or this 100 mph in Wikitext, but any space is better than nothing. Thanks.

I've been adding population figures for the former parishes in Northamptonshire, see User:Crouch, Swale/Northamptonshire for a long time Corby was still shown as an unparished area but in the last few days its been shown as parished. Kettering is still shown as unparished even though a Kettering Town is shown as parished that parish isn't shown as covering the town as I noted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/Archive 21#Northamptonshire but indeed it still seems like an error and the town is in fact parished.

Leicester urban area edit

The article cannot confidently be updated until 2021 census figures are made fully available from the ONS. Individual urban component figures have been released but crucially, ONS haven't stated which of these areas make up the overall 'conglomerations'. The website you referenced seem to have a habit of making certain assumptions with the incomplete data, discussed previously here, there and elsewhere. They have been useful if the figures pre-existed and weren't in one place on the ONS sites, but that isn't the case here. Please consider whether the edit and update message are pulled and that we wait. Regards, The Equalizer (talk) 19:21, 28 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I dunno, the figure can't be too far off given the large % increase of Leicester's population since 2011. I would stick with it until a more authoritative figure becomes available. G-13114 (talk) 21:31, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Interchange inclusion on station usage edit

Is there a page where it says interchanges shouldn’t be included if they’re less than 10% of the station usage. The likes of Aston, Birmingham Snow Hill, Wolverhampton have their’s included despite being well below 10% of station usage? JamesVilla44 (talk) 17:22, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

It was definitely discussed somewhere (I can't find it) and it received a lot of support. There's nowhere where it says that interchange figures should automatically be included either, generally if they are so tiny as to be insignificant, they are probably best left out.

Another Angry Voice edit

Please stop removing the inactive notice on the article for Another Angry Voice. The article, as per its lead, is about the blog itself, not the author's personal social media accounts (Another Angry Voice (AAV) is a British left-wing political blog written by Thomas G. Clark).

It is not WP:OR to note that the blog itself has not posted since late September 2023 and is therefore inactive, as it is acceptable under WP:PRIMARY ("A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge"). In fact, it is very much WP:OR to instead revert based on no reliable sources to state it's active because "he's still active on social media" when that is not the blog itself. Rambling Rambler (talk) 00:51, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Don't come here using that tone with me!! Has there been any positive indication that the blog has been abandoned, or that the author intends to abandon it permanently? No, so claiming that it is inactive for not posting for a few months counts as original research. G-13114 (talk) 01:05, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
We don't require waiting for the writer to put out a statement that the blog has been "abandoned" (which I haven't claimed to begin with). If a formerly frequently posting blog hasn't posted for months on end, that's by any reasonable meaning "inactive". Rambling Rambler (talk) 01:09, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
