The List of windmills in Shropshire has been created. I've added those I couldn't find references for to the talk page. If you can provide reliable refs please feel free to add them to the list. Need to search for photos too. Mjroots ( talk) 06:51, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
PS, no idea on the mill photos yet. May have a card of the watermill but not sure.
The OS maps are definitely a RS. OK, they sometimes show mills that weren't standing at the time of publication, but that's inevitable with differences in survey dates and publishing dates. By all means add the maps to the lists if you can. Mjroots ( talk) 19:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Do you fancy giving us a hand with this article? It's just passed GA, but I'm sure there's a bit more that can be added to the article prior to submittal for peer review, especially if you are any good at looking at prose. A good check for glaring fctual errors would also come in handy... Cheers, -- Bulleid Pacific ( talk) 22:43, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help so far, the article is beginning to improve even further. If there is anything else you can add/improve, please do so (I haven't been able to reply as I've just got back from a railtour behind 70013 Oliver Cromwell over the Devon Banks. She managed to complete the return leg between Plymouth and Exeter in 58 minutes, which is a staggering performance, and well within the top five of recent years!)!

Considering that I have now done a second railtour through the Surrey Hills behind 34067 Tangmere (crested Gomshall Bank at 42MPH), and have a bit of work to do prior to continuing my push for an MA, I have somewhat neglected this article of late. However, I feel it prudent to wait for EdJogg to return before carrying on, as it is better if we have three people working on the article. What do you think? -- Bulleid Pacific ( talk) 18:33, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Sticking my nose in others people businiess, I thought you might like to know about this website. It's not ideal as a source itself but the person who compiled the website seems to have included what seems like every journal article or entry in a book about each castle. If you are interested in more information about the castle, after a quick glance at the books for Worcester Castle I wouldn't recommend searching for them as they appear to be mostly tangential mentions but the book on urban castles might be useful. Of the journal articles they too look a bit vague, but the 1968-9 Transactions of the Worcestershire Archaeological Society might have some useful information (although only a couple of pages). Happy editing, Nev1 ( talk) 21:32, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks. Looks a pretty useful site. I'd never heard of Worcester Castle till it turned up as a redlink in Urse d'Abetot, mentioned in the context of the Bishop's curse. The layout is interesting- a motte next to the river with the baileys bisected by the town wall so that (it appears) the castle was half in and half out of the town.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs ( talk) 17:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

I merged some paragraphs today to make it flow chronologically, and also wrote the long lede, but I am aware that some references are still missing, or are from encyclopedias, in addition wording is far from perfect.

I see you're engaged in a minor reversal feud regaring this article, namely the factoid that Gail Parker is a co-author in the magazine. Please be aware that while Wikipedia guidelines do not encourage edits by contributors who may have a conflict of interest, they don't prohibit them either. In this case, we're simply dealing with a factual statement, and as long as it's correct, a potential conflict of interest is irrelevant, as it does not add any bias. Frankly, I don't feel this is anything worth pursuing, so I'll just ask you not to revert the current edit. Thanks! Asav ( talk) 22:03, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Thankyou for creating Merry Lees railway station. I have now amended Desford's succession box so that it directs to Merry Lees instead of Bagworth and Ellistown. I have also amended the appropriate entry on the Ivanhoe Line article's route diagram from "Stag and Castle Inn" to "Merry Lees". I have also revised the Merry Lees article as, inter alia, you seem to have omitted any mention of the Leicester and Swannington Railway. I have also formatted your citation of Helena Wojtczak's book and added an authorlink.
You locate the two Merry Lees stations very precisely in relation to each other but do not give co-ordinates. If you are working from a map source, please will you add the latitude, longitude and OS grid reference to Merry Lees's infobox? If you are working from an old map that has no OS grid squares, it should be possible to compare it with a more modern map that does have grid squares, and thereby determine a six-figure grid reference for the former station. I suggest the co-ordinates of only the second station will suffice.

(outdent) Dad had an undated Railroad Magazine article in his files titled "Locomotives of the Southern Railway" - and it listed all the Pacifics with various internal class names - including Ps4, P4, etc. This would seem to indicate that it's an internal class listing, and we're best off following the cited source or just stating something like "...one class of the Pacific locomotives became...."

Thank you for helping at the Ely article. Much appreciated. Regarding Babylon-ware. I was previously a little concerned about the RS of the blog, so I requested a source at the resource exchange (which is still outstanding). In the meantime I do have an article by David Hall (2003) which I can email you (if you drop me an email first) though it only has three mentions of the word Babylon. In addition, I have a copy of Cessford (2006), which I have not yet got round to reading. The index has entries for Babylon (3 pages), Babylon-ware (17 pages), pottery (30 pages or so), pottery-kilns (20 or so pages), post-medieval [pottery](3 pages). The confused picture which is emerging for me is that Ely had a nearly 800 year or so pottery industry and Babylon-ware was one small part of it. Chapter 6: Page 83:
Probate records include around 80 individuals named as potters, all based in Ely, suggesting a virtual monopoly of production within Cambridgeshire, at least as a full-time occupation. The earliest named potters (in the records] were active in the late 16th century and after this it is clear that there was always a potter active in Ely with no gaps [until 1898]. There appear to have been between one to three actual potters, each probably employing three to four workers. Given the Ely pottery industry's origins in the 12th century its survival into the late 19th century represents a remarkable degree of longevity

I guess I'm prying, sorry. I noticed some railway related contributions in your log, so I suspect you know far more than I on such topics. The railway in Ely has a west curve known locally as the Adelaide loop—the curve being through and around the East Cambridgeshire village of Queen Adelaide. I am not even certain which came first: the village or the curve. In any case, is such a curve rail-transport unique or in any other way significant? If so, would you consider adding well sourced prose about this to the Ely article? Not my field you see :) -- Senra ( Talk) 09:11, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

when someone changes spelling from American English ("honor") to English English ("honour") in an article (such as Exeter War Memorial) I revert it.

Hi. I have been asking help to write this article since long, but in reply I get just comments. I'm trying my best to translate from Italian sources into English, which is not my mother tongue language and moreover the conversion in English is very difficult, just sticking to the original story written by journalists of the time. I'm really and literally reporting the facts as they were reported by press of that time. No more, no less. (In fact, I'm not asking you expert editors to read the full story of the person) Although that, user Scott Martin commented: "Remove bio stuff in first sentence; inappropriate for lede and duplicates early life stuff below. This is a terrible article". I know that my English is very poor, so could you please advice me and help me to make this article acceptable? What does it mean your "hacking" comment on the view history section, and what does it mean the one of user Scott Martin?.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
