Hi Nthep. No time to do the research I'm afraid due to work commitments - Galloglass 16:20, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Legerwood Kirk

[edit]

Hi, thank you for the tidy up. I am not sure how to expand the references, I think I have squeezed the info relating to the church. --Jimmydenham (talk) 13:44, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than gte disjointed I'll reply here. If you edit the article then put the reference sources on the talk page (obviously saying which belongs to which item in the text) I'll sort the references out or you can have a go yourself and I'll check it over for you. There are templates for citing boks and web pages Template:Cite book and Template:Cite web which although they look ferocious are fairly easy after a while. Have a look at those and you'll see the sort of information needed. Author, title, page ref, url (if it's on the web), are the basics. For example the reference to the New Statistical Account of Scotland need a volume number (I believe it was in 6 or 8 volumes) so to be accurate we need to say which one. NtheP (talk) 13:55, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. I have had a look at the 'cite' refernces pages for books authors and webs, just looking gives me a headache. I don't even know houw to place the inline reference nos. ie [1] I can do that but in the reference area th number 1 appears and I don't know how to attach the reference beside that number. Also when I have used, say [2] then [3] when I try to refer to something else and I try to us no. (the first reference, it comes up [4] I hope I have explained that ok--Jimmydenham (talk) 14:16, 16 October 2009 (UTC) I mean when I try to use the no. [5] again it comes up as [6]--Jimmydenham (talk) 14:19, 16 October 2009 (UTC) Even this is confusing if I want to refer to reference one it comes up as a one, same for no. 2 reference and for no. 3 but if I want to refer back to refernce one it appears as no. 4 and so on[reply]

I know what you mean. Don't worry about the numbers - the use of <ref> </ref> allocates the numbers automatically. Try following these instructions:-

1) Find where you want to put the reference 2) type <ref> 3) enter your reference. If the templates throw you, just type it e.g. Smith, John (2006), A history of Scottish architecture, p. 103. 4) type </ref>

Then when you preview or save the page the inline number will be where you placed it, and the reference will be in the reference section. NtheP (talk) 14:27, 16 October 2009 (UTC) cle THAT'S GREAT Thank you, that's me taken another step forward. i did try it and, it worked --Jimmydenham (talk) 14:53, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, I uploaded another article 'Dunglass Collegiate Church, East Lothian" I tried the inline citations you showed me. I have had a message saying it had been reverted as being unconstructive, I think I am ready to give in --Jimmydenham (talk) 20:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)--Jimmydenham (talk) 20:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm still having trouble having the Jonathan Fisher (lawyer) page to be verified by wikipedia. All information is now verified by external links and the information is 100% neutral. Please could you help me review the page and if further edits are needed please could you either make the changes or tell me what is needed? thank you for your help! hannah (Hannah.rachel0801 (talk) 07:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]


Thank you

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for all the advice yesterday. I've once again revamped and rearranged the page and looked at the pages of several other notable lawyers to understand the format approved by wikipedia for such pages. Please could I ask you once again to look at what I've done and let me know if the page can now be fully accepted by wikipedia?

Scan of second printing of Exposition Of The Crede

[edit]

Thanks, I will make an attempt at starting to scan the edition. I dislike doing it because it does some violence to the spine of a book, but since there is no public copy anywhere of this edition it is probably worth while. I will not attempt to correct for the fact that I am going to place the two pages down on the scanning table. It will result in distortion towards the center, but so be it. If someone wants to correct for it in photoshop they can do so. I will leave it as is. If it were a leaf pile like by Theodore DeBeze first edition that I want to re-sew and re-bind, there would be no problem. But the binding and hinges on this copy are pretty good and do not care to ruin them. Any suggestion on how the scans can be organized. An obvious but probably poor concept would be a page with links to the images. I suppose with enough time and effort I can produce a PDF of the entire book and link that, but it will take a while. You appear to be a Brit. Just stay away from Shipley, My surname comes from some towns nearby although my grandfather hailed from Cheshire with a town by the same name right outside of Chester.

TNA Digital Microfilm

[edit]

Unfortunately DocumentsOnline is specifically excluded from direct resuse of images (see http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/legal/copyright.htm ) - I meant to mention that in my post. The actual text is less restricted, so quoting from his account should be fine, but actually using the image of the wooden horse is probably out.

Timetable World pro/con

[edit]

Hi, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways you put "The same argument for adding the link to every article could be used for saying that a link to the National Rail Journey Planner ought to be added to every article (about an open station) so readers can look up current services from the station". The thing is, we already do that - if the article uses {{Infobox GB station}} and you fill in |code=, it generates links to both http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/ (Live arrivals/departures) and http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ (station information), both being specific to the station concerned. Please don't take this as an argument supporting Timetable World, however. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:45, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sort of remembered that afterwards :) I still think TW is pretty useless though apart from the limited number of scans that it carries of old timetables. NtheP (talk) 19:51, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rivington Hall

[edit]

Hi Thanks for the help with the article I have made some alterations at your suggestion and would appreciate you taking a look to check for any errors,

1) infobox changed to Infobox UK property 2) relevance of the family tree of Alice Asshaw, work to yet omplete. 3) Style wise too many paragraphs start "In date" - later edits will ammend these. 4) Use Template:Convert on all measurements - have included the template for acres but there does not seem to be one for rods and perches or feet and inches. 5) There's a lot of history of the ownership but not much on the history of the building e.g. dates of construction and alteration. At the same time there are bits that don't seem to relate to the hall e.g. In 1765 Holt Leigh acquired lands in Rivington and Anglezarke from Baxter Roscow and Helen his wife, and Elizabeth Shaw, heirs to the Baron Willoughby of Parham. - Have worked the Hollt Leigh sentence into previous paragraph - will be adding ore detail about the building as the more research is undertaken 6) Some of the references have quite unfathomable titles e.g. Pal. of Lanc. Feet of F. bdle. 70, no. 68. - I have changed these to point to the foot notes of the original article.

Merge?

What do you think about this article. A few people are aggressively trying to kill it by redirecting it and do not want to have a merge discussion. Maybe discuss it on the talk page of the above link? JB50000 (talk) 04:12, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for help!

[edit]

Thanks for the advice - I hope this is the correct place to reply!

I did just realise that the [[]] characters allowed me to make internal links by looking at some other articles and was very proud of myself!

Yes the subject of my article is my Great Uncle. There are many references to his work but so little about his life - there is not too much in the family records either but I will be able to provide some information and a picture of the artist as well as his work.

I've also noticed an error or two on another article which I hope to be able to get corrected.

Clifton railway station

[edit]

Hi, re this edit: they're stacking up a bit, and it might be an idea to condense them into an {{about}} template. For example:

{{about||the station in Clifton, Greater Manchester, commonly known as Dixon Fold|Dixon Fold railway station|the station in Clifton, Bristol|Clifton Down railway station|the station in Clifton, Derbyshire|Clifton Mayfield railway station}}

produces:

alternatively

{{about|the station on the Manchester to Preston line|the station in Clifton, Greater Manchester, commonly known as Dixon Fold|Dixon Fold railway station|the station in Clifton, Bristol|Clifton Down railway station|the station in Clifton, Derbyshire|Clifton Mayfield railway station}}

produces:

Thanks. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:48, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking again, I think that Dixon Fold should be ditched. It was on the Manchester-Bolton line, and was the next station north from Clifton, and according to Butt, never had any name other than Dixon Fold. Clifton, however, was previously Clifton Junction (ren 6 May 1974). So I think it's misleading to mention Dixon Fold in the hatnotes of Clifton railway station. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still thinking disambig with Clifton moved to Clifton, Gtr Manchester. NtheP (talk) 15:10, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That'd very kind of you, thank Nthep. I did have an offer from User:EyeSerene so I'll quickly drop him a note to see if he did take any pictures so as not to waste his effort!

Well if you don't mind Nthep, I'll go with your kind offer. I think the top image is best personally - do you think the owner of the pic will mind us editing it (ie straightening it) once its uploaded? Ranger Steve (talk) 20:14, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re Katri Rosendahl

[edit]

Hi Nthep, thanks for your message! I must admit that I know absolutely nothing about Katri Rosendahl, but randomly stumbled upon the article a few months back, while it was being abused in a rather strange sort of way. The IP-vandal in question, gave me the impression that they may have known the subject personally (a jealous sister perhaps) and were doing everything in their power to blank the article (or most of it) as well as any links to it. Just someone with an unusual burning desire to discredit and rub out the existence of the subject, or so it seemed. I wanted to remove the PROD myself, but was unable to find references to justify it. I appreciate you keeping an eye on this one with me... together perhaps, we might just get lucky enough to find the source material to bring the article up to snuff, and maybe even restore a few other lost fragments from its edit history. I look forward to seeing more of you. Have yourself a great day, and happy editing :) -- WikHead (talk) 13:20, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your rollback request

[edit]

Hello Nthep, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 21:44, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

HMS Sir Galahad

Nice article, but it needs a few tweaks. Per WP:MOSSHIP, ship names should be in italics. You may find it beneficial to use the {{HMS}} template to link to Royal Navy ships.

You recently tagged the article for a7, as did I. the author holdon-ed it, and explained that it a business concept where companies create a virtual tour of their business before it is created. I thought about it, and it doesn't really count as web content anymore, since its actually a concept, as oppsed to something material. I'm still not sure its notable. What do you think?

Could be valid I suppose but not as an article on it's own. Perhaps a merger into Sales pitch? NtheP (talk) 18:31, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I'm unsure. I haven't explored any of the busniess related topics in Wiki yet, so I have no idea. Maybe you have more experience, or it could be brought up at the appropriate wikiproject. Brambleclawx 18:34, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
