Cumbrian villages

Hi, thanks for all the effort you're putting into creating articles on Cumbrian villages. You may not know but there is a wikiproject Wikipedia:WikiProject Lancashire and Cumbria dedicated to inproving the coverage of the two counties on wikipedia. We would love you to join so that we can co-operate on development of articles. All the best. NtheP (talk) 17:51, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Also, all your articles are uncategorized. If nothing else, could you please add the stub, {{england-stub}} to the bottom of these new pages? Thanks. — Timneu22 · talk 13:10, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

as far as I can tell, these places are neighborhoods; I have primarily searched Fox Royd, but I assume the others are similar. It has no boundaries, and shows up in no list of local places. Open Street Map show Fox Royd Lane, , Fox Royd Road, etc. in the same area, but no settlement that could possibly be so called. DGG ( talk ) 22:53, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Colours on pie charts (Edit counts)

Help: On my edit count I have red for article, yellow for user and green for talk please can someone tell me what other coulers you can get.

Homan's Copse (talk) 12:03, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

You get a dark pink for user talk edits, which you've now got in your breakdown but you've not quite done enough for them to be a pie slice. Here are another 14. Does that help? ϢereSpielChequers 12:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Redirected Pages

{{helpme}} I have created many redirected pages e.g. Castletown, Cumbria or Flushing Farm, but these don't appear on my articles created page.

Homan's Copse (talk) 09:55, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

By default, the list does not include redirects in the list of pages created. Go to http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/pages/, type your username, select "Include redirects and non-redirects", press Submit, and then you will see those pages included in the list. Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao ^talk 12:09, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Stainton, Cumbria

Hello Homan's Copse. Are there any images of your village? If so, you can add them to the article. Cheers. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 11:34, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. If you're interested in some stats, see Special:Statistics and Wikipedia:Statistics. If you're interested in general information about the encyclopedia, see Wikipedia:About and our page on Wikipedia. Cheers, Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 13:12, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Hammer, Surrey

{{helpme}} I have created the page Hammer, Surrey. I have realised that it is actually in West Sussex and I would like the page moved to Hammer, West Sussex without the page Hammer, Surrey being redirected to Hammer, West Sussex. How do I do this?

Homan's Copse (talk) 14:37, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I have done it for you. For information, you could have moved the article yourself, and tagged the resulting redirect with {{db-r3}}. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:42, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Geography articles

Hi, thanks for creating some fantastic articles on UK places. Please take time to learn Wikipedia's manual of style for UK places, as this would make your articles even better. I have tidied some of the most recent articles for you. -- role^player 12:37, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

You might also find the county geography stub templates handy, e.g. Category:Suffolk geography stubs. Thanks, Empty Buffer (talk) 13:24, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

For Suffolk stubs, rather than add the category directly, just add {{suffolk-geo-stub}} rather than {{england-stub}}. You can also usefully add the category Category:Villages in Suffolk, for when the article has grown beyond a stub. Thanks, Empty Buffer (talk) 14:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Reference sections

Hello there! I keep running into your new stub articles on English counties, hundreds, etc. I'd just like to point out that it would be helpful to read over WP:REF to get a better sense on how to format references. Thanks for all of your additions! GorillaWarfare ^talk 14:05, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Articles for Deletion

I have created the following articles and I would like them to be put through the speedy deletion process.

Hi

I am not able to delete the page myself as I am not an admin, but I have tagged the page for deletion so that an admin can delete it when they get round to it.

High Easter

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of High Easter, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.iananddot.org/essexchurches/higheaster.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Hadleigh

Hi, now that you've converted Hadleigh into a disambiguation page, could you help fix the links that need to be re-pointed to an article per WP:FIXDABLINKS? Navigation popups, with the popupFixDabs flag set to true, is very helpful. Cheers! --JaGa^talk 11:53, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

disambiguation pages

Hi, you recently edited White House (disambiguation). Not sure if you noticed, but when you edit a disambiguation page, it reads at the top, "Generally only one navigable link (blue link) belongs in each bulleted entry." I've fixed the entry you added, but just FYI, for future edits. 0¹⁸ (talk) 18:10, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Padham's Green

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Padham's Green, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hasteur (talk) 17:25, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Moving articles

I see that you have moved a number of articles and created disambiguation pages in cases where there are two places with the same name. You may like to consider whether one of the two places should be the primary topic, in which case a dab page is not needed (see WP:TWODABS). If you do go ahead and convert the original page to a dab page, please remember to fix the links to that page, per WP:FIXDABLINKS. I have dealt with this at Upton, Oxfordshire, but there seem to be several others. Thanks. --Mhockey (talk) 14:11, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Articles on hamlets

Hi, please stop now creating one line stubs about English hamlets without including at least the minimum information required for Wikipedia articles on settlements; Mass creation of stubs is considered WP:disruptive editing, and can lead to the author being blocked. Thanks.--Kudpung (talk) 09:15, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I'd agree with what Kudpung said. At the very least, I'd like to see some indication in the article as to why these hamlets are significant, and - ideally - I'd like to see {{coord}} being used so that other editors are spared the hassle of having to tag them for missing the "coord", then yet more editors have to determine where the hamlets are, and add in the coord. TFOWR 09:26, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Please ignore the comments above. Long-standing consensus is that articles on human settlements of any size are acceptable in Wikipedia. Building the encyclopedia by creating stubs that others can improve complies with our editing policy and is something to be encouraged. The only disruption that I see here is that two editors, including an administrator who should know much better, are discouraging you from helping to build this encyclopedia. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:29, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Does this rule include "settlements" that are just a house or two? Dbfirs 15:16, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I have been using A–Z street atlases as a source, which clearly shows the difference between a hamlet and a house Homan's Copse (talk) 11:15, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

That's fine if you check that the locations really are settlements, but some of your source maps tend to name just random houses in rural areas, and you are mis-interpreting this as meaning that there is a significant settlement there. Dbfirs 11:28, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately this editor is describing every place mentioned on a map as a hamlet, see Jaw Hill. With respect the A-Z doesn't differentiate between houses and hamlets or neighbourhoods, and doesn't claim to. Most of these places are not notable and should be merged into appropriate articles or deleted.--J3Mrs (talk) 11:39, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I think some research should be done before creating stub articles for random mentions on a map. Dbfirs 16:59, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Jaw hill is clearly a settlement, see http://getamap.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getamap/frames.htm Homan's Copse (talk) 18:25, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Could you have a look at the recent copy/move & redirect that you did for Thorncliffe & Thorncliff as they all seem to redirect to a new article called Thorncliffe, Thorncliffe, Kirkburton, which doesn't seem right? Thozza (talk) 06:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Acton

Hello, I noticed that you moved Acton, London to Acton, Greater London, this seems wrong, the guideline you quoted says "For the City of London and Greater London combined [[placename, London]] is used.". Thanks Grim²³★ 13:32, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Eccleshill

Hi, now that Eccleshill is a disambig, please remember to WP:FIXDABLINKS. Thanks! --JaGa^talk 20:51, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Hamlets

I will continue to tag non notable articles in the area in which I live. You should be aware that List of United Kingdom locations is a wikipedia page and not an independent source of notable places. You really shouldn't believe everything you read here. A mention in an A-Z is hardly a decent reference. I see from your user page you appear to be on a crusade to create these articles with an average of 2 edits per page, it would be far more impressive to see them developed. I live in W Yorks and can assure you of their non notability.--J3Mrs (talk) 17:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I suggest you read How to write about settlements before you add irrelevant headings to articles. Please do not them to articles I have taken the trouble to expand or I will most definately remove them. Thank you--J3Mrs (talk) 09:02, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Whalley Range, Greater Manchester

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Whalley Range, Greater Manchester. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Whalley Range. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Whalley Range - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. J3Mrs (talk) 12:12, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Thunder Bridge

The article Thunder Bridge has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a notable place, could not locate on Google Maps.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Cut and Paste

If you copy and paste text from listed Buildings Online as you did at Round Maple, you will get a copyvio notice. You are supposed to write it in your own words as I have now done. You over link the articles, naming every road and placename within a five mile radius does not make them any more notable. Constant references to A-Z maps are not needed when coordinates are used. Please read the guidelines.--J3Mrs (talk) 10:38, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

You shouldn't reference to A-Z because you find it a convenient way of avoiding unreferenced tags! References show notability, coordinates show location. As far as anchors go stop creating pages to places that aren';t notable and there won't be a problem. Short articles, according to the Manual of Style should have fewer headers. You really should check whether a place is REALLY notable rather than a word on a map BEFORE you create a page.--J3Mrs (talk) 10:57, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Notability

If you revert the tag on Round Maple again you will be doing so for the third time. Let another editor decide as to its notability. Just because a place is on a map doesn't make it notable.--J3Mrs (talk) 14:13, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Penrith

Looking at whatlinkshere suggests that there are a significant number of links intended for the Australian town. It would perhaps have been more helpful to at least fix the dablinks first, and even better to have discussed before moving. We now have a situation in which it is much harder to fix the links than it was before your move. DuncanHill (talk) 15:27, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
