Latest comment: 12 years ago by Z2a in topic At the end

Hi and sorry if this isn't the right way to leave you a message. Thanks for your comments ref St Ermins – you're only the second person I've come across calling it the st Vermins – I'm still trying to work out how Wikipedia works as technically very inept so today am trying to upload some good historical maps without breaching copyright plus starting to put citations in. The Spy history stuff will be quite difficult to substantiate though there is undoubtedly a history there. I'm keen for the piece not to look like an ad as wish it to sit nicely in Wikipedia and will work towards that as much as possible. help always received with much thanks.

I would like to ask A Question do i need to do (Z2a (talk) 16:58, 17 January 2012 (UTC)) at the end of my writing infomation as well Thanks, (Z2a (talk) 16:58, 17 January 2012 (UTC))Reply

Tim Fordham-Moss (talk) 11:20, 11 November 2011 (UTC) I wonder if you could help please. I got the page to a stage where I submitted for review but nothing seems to be happening and I think it has a 'Hold' symbol against it – though not sure why. Am I missing something / going wrong somewhere?Reply

Bouchout Castle edit

I noticed that most of the improvements on the Bouchout Castle page have been undone, including yours (shortening the section titles, lede section). However, this is not visible in the history page. Since you are more experienced on Wikipedia: do you know whether this is a technical problem or a kind of vandalism? Who is the best to be notified? Thanks. Kees Recourt (talk) 08:11, 4 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, this is the revision that made most of the changes. I have been bold and reverted to the version immediately prior to that. You might want to check for typos etc. NtheP (talk) 18:38, 4 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thank you and I learned again. Kees Recourt (talk) 23:02, 4 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi there – I hope this is how to get you a message – sorry, pretty untechnical. You kindly took a look at the St Ermins piece I was doing and offered help. I got it to a stage where I submitted for review but nothing seems to be happening and I think it has a 'Hold' symbol against it – though not sure why. Am I missing something / going wrong somewhere?

Churchill Machine Tool Co edit

Hi, thanks for tightening up the references on the Churchill MT Co entry. I'll have to work my way through what you did to fully make sense of it but it sure looks better. With one exception (there's always one!): something has gone wrong in the "Historical Figures" section, which is now showing a bit of HTML where a reference should be. I'm not sure if this is a result of your actions or that of Ponti-doodah but suspect that since you were using some sort of test template then it might be a result of that.

Given that I do not really understand what you did, I'm loathe to try and fix it without spending an hour or so analysing it all. I might make matters worse! If you have the time then could you perhaps take a look for me?

I'll be adding more content over the next few days and will try to use your examples even if I do not understand fully: copy/paste, insert new citation ... hopefully learn something about formatingf cites along the way. Thanks, Sitush (talk) 00:19, 5 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sorted, the ref was reading <refname="foo"> rather than <ref name="foo">, the space makes all the difference :-) There wasn't anything wrong with the way you had the references using {{Cite web}} just that there are specialist templates for references from the London Gazette ({{London Gazette}} and Hansard ({{Cite hansard}}) which I think are easier to complete and the results easier to read. I think the other one was changing {{Cite news}} for {{Cite web}}, again it's a very moot point but it just puts the emphasis on the ref being originally in print rather than on the net. NtheP (talk) 06:45, 5 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for fixing and also for explaining. Sounds simple enough ... when you know how. Sitush (talk) 07:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Edinburgh Gazette edit

Hi, I've tried to use the city=Edinburgh parameter of the London Gazette citation template to correctly reference issue 21513 of the publication on the Churchill page. Ref is for dissolution of Churchill-Vertimax in a table of all the dissolved companies. It's not working and I'm clearly doing something simple, wrongly. Any ideas? Sitush (talk) 21:33, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Si, providing too much info was the issue. The parameter city=e was enough, you didn't need to spell Edinburgh out in full. NtheP (talk) 23:00, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Churchill in Rolt edit

A sentence in the Churchill article prior to my involvement has got moved about so much that the citation is a bit amiss – "In 1901 Churchill bought a factory near Chapel Street in Salford, initially as a facility to tool-up the imported machinery". I've added a citation but it is imperfect because it doesn't refer to Chapel Street. Do you have the Rolt "Tools" book to hand? If so, do you mind seeing if the original citation was from that? As I recall, Rolt was just about the only source prior to my editing. I'm also not too happy about the use of the phrase "tool-up": I know what it means but it will be obscure to many people (and it is also used elsewhere re: the Gatling factory) – do you have any view on this? Ta muchly. Sitush (talk) 08:34, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Si, I don't have copy of the book I'm afraid. As to tool up – my assumption is that this is the stage in a production process where production tools, tested and operating at maximum output rate, are in place. (Not my definition, lifted from a dictionary) If it is this or something else then we just need to explain it in the article the first time the phrase is used. NtheP (talk) 11:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
OK. Thanks. I'll find a ref for Chapel St from somewhere (perhaps even compare the article at 2 Jan and work it out from there using AGF). Sitush (talk) 11:57, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion contested: Hollywood Hills (novel) edit

Hello Nthep, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Hollywood Hills (novel), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Contains sufficient content to be a stub. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Logan Talk Contributions 17:03, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Oh – just realized that you tagged it before the author added actual content. I tagged it for G11, as it is unambiguous advertising. Disregard the notice above. Logan Talk Contributions 17:05, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

G11 tags edit

Hi. Thanks for tagging Rex Julius Hormillada just now, but I would have recommended an A7 rather than G11 – he was looking for a job, but it wasn't really blatant advertising. If another tag will do, it is normally preferable to G11, because after a G11 deletion newbies tend to put the article in again with a few adjectives cut out, and then we have to say, OK it's not advertising any more but you still get zapped for notability; and they feel persecuted. G12 (copyright) has the same problem – I tend to tag on a note saying, by the way, even if your make a copyright release, there are still these problems... Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:19, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Churchill GAN'd edit

Per your suggestion I have now WP:GAN'd the Churchill article. All that I feel I can add to it is some photos if/when they turn up and just possibly an extra sentence or two on Maginness, again if a specific article turns up. There may be other stuff lying around somewhere other than as original sources in archives, but I think I've pretty much exhausted what I can do on it.

I re-read the talk page today and remain amazed at the comment from "Maurice" at the time of AfD that there were no useful secondary/third party sources to expand the article: how far did he look, I wonder, before intellectual arrogance took over.Sitush (talk) 18:14, 30 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Stoke edit

Is there some reason why you have not moved User:Nthep/Listed buildings in Stoke-on-Trent into the (article) namespace? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:14, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, it's nowhere near finished yet. I haven't even got all of them in a table let along fleshed out. NtheP (talk) 21:40, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

If it was in the (article) namespace, others might move in to help you. I am inclined to move it for you! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:34, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Its moved. Incidentally why avoid {{oscoor}}? There's nothing on the template talk page to suggest why {{gbmappingsmall}} is preferred. NtheP (talk) 09:28, 8 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Surely "rather than simply replace oscoor with OS_coord, it would be better to use a different template" and what follows, is sufficient explanation? If you actually prefer to type the grid ref twice, then use {{OS coord}}. Look at this chaos when oscoor was being used. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:20, 14 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Problem with a new user edit

Hi, being aware of the 3RR rule, do you know what my options are with a new user who has introduced copious amounts of copy-and-paste from a family history site on to a WP article? This was reverted yesterday by someone, and then this afternoon the new user reverted the revert and added more. I restored to the previous version and left a "welcome + coi" note on the new user's talk page. They then can back and reverted my revert. I got rid of that with a "vandal" rollback and it was more or less immediately reinstated again. I've now left a note for them on the article talk page as well as their own.

I am wary of doing yet another revert. It could go on for ever and the problem appears to be that the user is ignoring (or somehow not seeing) the prompts/new messages on their personal talk page. Thoughts? Article is Hilton family, which I went to initially because it was throwing maintenance problems due to the user's poor reflist formatting. - Sitush (talk) 16:50, 9 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ignore the above. An admin has just stepped in from somewhere and imposed an indefinite block. - Sitush (talk) 00:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
I think your comments were great. Personally I'm dubious about the notability of the whole article. If there are members of the family who merit their own articles, that's one thing, otherwise it just seems like a bit of a puff piece to mention a lot of non-entities. NtheP (talk) 11:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
I rasied notability with the admin who blocked the new user. It turns out that admin has actually created a genealogy page of their own! S/he said it wasn't worth time taking it to AfD. I'm not so sure. - Sitush (talk) 15:26, 11 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Churchill Machine Tool Company edit

Just letting you know that the GA Review of Churchill MT Co has started, oh-er – Talk:Churchill Machine Tool Company/GA1. - Sitush (talk) 21:29, 5 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Above superseded – got the GA, with a comment that it should go towards FA via a peer review. I've now instigated the peer review. Honestly, it would not have got this far without your assistance and encouragement. Not to mention your judgement, as you did comment some time ago that this should go to GA and soon thereafter to FA, and also mentioned the peer review process – are you clairvoyant or what? <g> – Sitush (talk) 01:49, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Si, really pleased for you on this. You took it on as a challenge and by hell you've showed what can be done. Thanks for the kind words, perhaps my best bit of wikigoming :-) NtheP (talk) 21:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
W & J Galloway & Sons is well on the way now. EdJogg, in particular, has helped me out with a lot of gnoming but feel free to wave your magic wand over it. I've not finished with the thing yet but it is probably 80- 90% there. Difficult to see the wood for the trees sometimes, which is where the gnomes come in handy ;) – Sitush (talk) 21:52, 10 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
(Update) – just revisited the Afd nom – "The article on Churchill Machine Tools has no substance and it is very unlikely that it will attract sufficient interest from historians capable of expanding it in any meaningful way. This is especially true now that the article’s solitary graphic has been removed by the Wikipedia deletion squad." Whoops. I think it is unfortunate that, for reasons I never did fully understand, the originator of this and some other similar articles appears to have gone. I do know that the gist of it was about unwillingness to collaborate (& he was certainly forthright), but out of at least a couple of small acorns planted by said contributor ... - Sitush (talk) 00:30, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
... and now from GA to C-class in 90 minutes! - Sitush (talk) 19:36, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Not quite, this is a GA until a GAR says otherwise. Best bet is to stay out of it, it looks like there are plenty to fight your corner NtheP (talk) 22:21, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes, someone reverted the editor's reclassification for procedural reasons. I've said my bit & am not inclined to go further because I do recognise how close I am to it. I've opposed the move, though, as that is a different issue & I feel ok to have a say there. What I am astonished about is where all these other folks have come from, since not many are watching the page. Can only assume that the early actions caused it to appear on notification lists etc. Still learning!- Sitush (talk) 22:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Butt? edit

Hi. Thanks for the useful info at WT:UKRAIL on the York Racecourse station. I'm still planning to create a stub for it, and I'd appreciate it if you could let me have author, title and page no(s) for what "Butt" says so that I could use it as a ref – I've never heard of him, even though I have a mild interest in the development and "streamlining" of the railway system in the UK. Incidentally, I have a copy of David and Charles's reprint of Bradshaw for (I think) 1911, which doesn't mention either York Racecourse station or its former Holgate name, but I guess that that's because trains stopping there only did so on seemingly random (i.e. raceday) dates. Best. --GuillaumeTell 18:30, 10 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Butt has it's own template {{Butt-Stations}} and the page numbers you want are p257 for York Holgate Bridge & York Racecourse and p121 for Holgate Excursion Platform. NtheP (talk) 19:38, 10 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! I did track down Butt in various articles after a bit of trial and error but had no idea that a template was involved. Might send off for a copy of the book. --GuillaumeTell 21:57, 10 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I hope you don't mind but I renamed the entry in line with previous talk on this subject, best wishes.Twobells (talk)

Don't mind in the slightest. Knowing how sensitive anything around the topic of Ireland can be all I wanted to do was point out the new information and retire from the scene.

Alexander Rigby / wikiproject edit

Hey Nthep, I noticed that you changed Alexander Rigby's wikiproject from Lancashire & Cumbria to Greater Manchester. I have a feeling that you're more up to speed with the scope of the project, but wouldn't Rigby be more relevant to Lancashire, given that Wigan was, while he was alive, in Lancashire? I don't know too much about him yet, but I believe he had to do with the history of various (present day) Lancashire settlements too... that's not really my point though. Wouldn't the scope of the Gr Manchester project cover things/people from the time that it has existed? Obviously not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, I'm just curious! :) --BelovedFreak 15:42, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I would love to have included Rigby as within L&C but it was discussed when the project was set up to limit interest based on the current gerographical boundaries of Lancs & Cumbria otherwise there would be a huge overlap with the Manchester and Merseyside projects (also Yorkshire to a lesser extent). Rigby isn't the first interesting historical character I've removed from project tagging and undoubtedly won't be the last. NtheP (talk) 17:15, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Transcreation edit

Re this edit – well done! I was debating with myself whether to do that myself or to try to teach the article author how – now I can stop worrying. JohnCD (talk) 19:23, 16 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

if it doesn't get deleted, I'll probably go back and convert to cite templates as there are quite a few journals quoted. NtheP (talk) 19:33, 16 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Even better! JohnCD (talk) 20:00, 16 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Canoe River edit

Can I ask you how certain you are of those coordinates? Having visited Canoe River, and trespassed on CNR property to get as close to the crash site as I could conveniently, I know it is not marked. The cairn is about a mile, so I was told, from the actual crash site.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:24, 28 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

I went on what was already in the article – the coords are in the infobox. NtheP (talk) 21:25, 28 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Oh. I'll have to see who did that and what the source of the information was. Thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:27, 28 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
I must admit I may have made a gross misassumption by assuming that the co-ords had been checked as part of the FA assessment. NtheP (talk) 21:33, 28 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
They were not. I need to go through the diffs and figure out who added them. I did not notice that they were in the infobox. Honestly, I am not even certain if they were there during the FAC.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:58, 28 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

St Ermin's edit

Hi and sorry if this isn't the right way to leave you a message. Thanks for your comments ref St Ermins – you're only the second person I've come across calling it the st Vermins – I'm still trying to work out how Wikipedia works as technically very inept so today am trying to upload some good historical maps without breaching copyright plus starting to put citations in. The Spy history stuff will be quite difficult to substantiate though there is undoubtedly a history there. I'm keen for the piece not to look like an ad as wish it to sit nicely in Wikipedia and will work towards that as much as possible. help always received with much thanks.

Tim Fordham-Moss (talk) 11:20, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for help and support. I'm building this slowly and will start putting citations where I can today / Monday. I've also altered a little the intro based on your comments and although the history could well sit under Westminster once the maps I've got or think I can get go in then it does position the building nicely. The spies stuff is – to be honest – mainly informed hearsay, simply by its very nature though the SOE etc and the Noel Coward links are substantiable, as are the Caxton Bar Cambridge Five meets. Just mastered left and right positioning of photos so now very pleased with self.............. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim Fordham-Moss (talkcontribs) 12:59, 11 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Andy Saunders edit

I notice you proposed speedy deletion as a copyright infringement. It has been recreated. I have PROD'd as an unreferenced bio. Do the copyright issues persist in this version? ScottyBerg (talk) 21:30, 7 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

I see you've found out that the answer is yes. NtheP (talk) 21:33, 7 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
(ec) Indeed. Was about to mention that. ScottyBerg (talk) 21:34, 7 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Andy Saunders wiki page edit

To Nthep, I am struggling to understand how to progress this. The text submitted is my own copyright because i also created the original website that the text comes from. i have in any case changed and edited this text in order to better suit wikipedia, and is not copied directly. I was getting references for the wiki page when you sent me this message. From Ninjakins — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ninjakins (talkcontribs) 21:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Please note edit

I will re add facilities to Chippenham as I feel it's necessary. Many other station pages have this. Thanks --Chip123456 (talk) 18:49, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

And I took them away again for reasons I explained in my edit summary and on my talk page. Bottom line, Nthep was right in the first place. --Bob Re-born (talk) 19:04, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Kettledrum edit

Sorry if I did not make the Lancashire connection clear. I have now explained it on the article talk page. I can go into further detail if you like. Best wishes.

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/User:Tombak2 edit

I got rid of it, as it's already been taken care of. It's from a long-term abuser whom I will not mention here. --MuZemike 18:41, 3 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ok. Thanks for letting me know, I thought I was not seeing things when the report vanished from my contributions list. NtheP (talk) 18:44, 3 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Grammar supersedes convenience edit

the Motorway Bridge Editor edit

Hi, I see you reverted one edit by 86.175.37.60 but not the others. Can the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways#Road bridges in RDTs somehow be closed with a firm decision? If I close it, I'll be ignored by the IP. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:59, 12 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I haven't looked at his contributions just the articles on my watch list. I'll happily review others but as I'm working on a smartphone editing isn't as easy as normal. I think the conclusion will be no concensus and discuss in a case by case basis. As I've had my say more than once I felt it better to leave to others to refute his points lest it looked like me vs the rest. NtheP (talk) 19:05, 12 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification edit

Hi. When you recently edited Quintinshill rail disaster, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Carlisle (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.
