Pen Dinas

{{helpme}} Need help with the coords on Pen Dinas. Thanks. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 15:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

User:Stwalkerster fixed it :) - NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 15:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Fixed (template and coords), and fixed (display: title). You might want to take a look at Template:Coord/doc :) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 15:59, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks :) I will have a look at the document. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk

Denbighshire navigator

Is {{Denbighshire}} ready for use? I added it to the article on Meliden without checking whether it was being used elsewhere (only appears in a couple of articles as far as I can see). -- Skarl 23:41, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Please feel free to use/edit any and all at will. I started that project without enough looking around on other PAOW pages to see all the other nav boxes already in use. Shame on me. So do you think it is a good design? I should really propose it to the project. Thanks for asking first! ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 01:00, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

The design seems fine to me, I just wasn't sure whether I ought to have put it in the article yet. If you do propose it, can you let me know so I can watch the discussion? Cheers. -- Skarl 10:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes please, and thanks for your offer of help. I am making the shell for each of the last remaining areas, adding template assess to all. Cheers. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 10:18, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Ysbyty Ystwyth

{{helpme}} Need help with the opening text of Ysbyty Ystwyth. Yikes what did I do wrong. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 06:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Looks like you had a space before the text, if there is anything else I am missing, post here and I will check it out. --Terrillja _talk 06:41, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation & help. That was mighty powerful space. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 06:44, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Wales templates

Hi there - this is my subsidiary account for when I enforce a wikibreak on my main account but can't keep away... The answer to the Gwynedd template is that you need something in list 1; if it's blank, you don't get the image. I would think that Bangor and Caernarfon at least would qualify as "principal settlements", but I'll leave the decision to you. Not sure re Cardiff. Must dash. PS see Template:* for the bullets. Bencherheavy (talk) 21:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Bench I could tell it was you, I was teasing! Thanks for the template tips. Wikipedia:Wikiholic is hard to cure, if at all? I even mobile wiki-edit. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 02:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Geaugagrrl, have started messing with your Merthyr Tydfil template. As Merthyr is made up of 12 communities, I thought that these could stand out rather than the term "principal settlements". Happy if you disagree, but I just created the Dowlais page, rather than it pointing to the Ironworks, and wanted a Merthyr Template, to find you had one under creation. Lots to do in Merthyr. Happy New Year. FruitMonkey (talk) 21:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi FruitMonkey and Happy New Year! Thanks for jumping in to help with the template. All assistance is welcome. I toss the shells out there for others to fill as I only have been feeling qualified to work on template:Ceredigion. If you look at that talk page, you can see how this project started and morphed. Would the UK Geo project provide guidance? BTW, have you seen the new color scheme I tossed at Ceredigion? Please let me know what you think? Bye for now. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 21:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:George Osborne Morgan1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:George Osborne Morgan1.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Latest Dec. 2008

Geauga, is all the bog content sourced? A lot of it looks like it's cut and pasted or copied from elsewhere... ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:34, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

You can call me GG if you'd rather. Working on issues. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 14:15, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Cors Caron

I've had a look at Cors Caron and made some editorial changes to try to help meet WP:MOS - but I'm concerned that a lot of the text gives the appearance of being a straight cut and paste copyright violation. Can we try to improve the article? - I'm happy to help if I can (I'll track down what info I've got). Regards, Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:50, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

The sections should be blockquoted. The text were reformatted by another user as italics. DYK comments indicated more explanation of why the site was chosen, hence the added soon-to-be-quoted text was added. And I have citations for the areas indicated. I have been distracted by holiday events and unable to attend to these issues. Thanks for keeping a sharp eye out for Wiki editing. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 13:51, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't have much more info other than a short leaflet I picked up there a few months ago - I'll be out of action for most of the next few days, but let me know if you're unhappy with my earlier edits and I'll explain them. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:56, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Well it is on the DYK list already so I am speedily making changes even before morning coffee-not a pretty site. It's my fault for being editing on holiday during a snow confinement. Hopefully this will work. Back at it... ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 14:00, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

You've been to the location?!?!?!? Please review to see if I missed anything? Cheers. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 14:14, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes I have - pleasant, but not very exciting on the day I was there! Thanks for your support on the article - usually I'm accused by the English editors of being pro-Welsh, and by the Welsh editors of being pro-English - the perils of coming from the border area I think! Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:58, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ghmyrtle. If you want to share pictures of your trip to Cors, I would like to see then? Send to me at: geaugagrrl@gmail.com. I intend to visit when I make my next trip to Wales *smile* I still disagree with the naming on the picture, but we have to go by the decided conventions of the Wikicommunity. I barely have enough time to edit, none left to make such a fight. I really appreciate all your contributions! You are a valued editor to the Wales project whom I admire and look up to. Happy New Year! ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 13:16, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

...hic!.. sorry, thanks for the pint! I don't think I took any photos - it's not especially photogenic and I didn't see any very interesting wildlife when I was there. I just called in while passing really, having visited this place nearby, which was very interesting (but, when I was there, also very wet). Happy New Year to you too! Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:26, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Now that looks positively dreamy to me! Strata is on my list to next expand. That and the Stedmans and Herberts. Cheers! ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 13:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

These Herberts? I'll try to help - in my "spare time" (ha!) I'm doing some research into the history of my local area, where they figure a lot. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:39, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

These Herberts. Are they one in the same? I've been lobbying for a 48 hour day for years to no avail. Booooooohiss. Ack I'm late for my day job. TTFN ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 14:21, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

More info posted here, page 2. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 01:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Trawsgoed

I noticed you working on Trawsgoed. Is that the same Trawsgoed mentioned in Llanfihangel y Creuddyn#Present day? If so it need wikilinking there and the the status as a community (local government) needs to be mentioned. Agathoclea (talk) 11:14, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Indeed it is, but I was not certain of the reference so I did not add the link. If it is correct, please wikify or I can. Are you familiar with the area? I intend to expand both articles after more research. Lordship of Creuddyn information needs to be incorporated into Ll-y-C. Cheers. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 13:27, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

After taking a close look at the article I noticed that Trawsgoed does not cover the modern Community of Trawsgoed which is a separate entity to the Trawsgoed Estate. I believe the article should move to Trawsgoed Estate and a new article about the area of Trawsgoed should be in its place. This article would then include a short mention of the Estate and will link to it. But then again there are still many communities of Wales missing so there is no real hurry. Agathoclea (talk) 08:38, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I take it you live somewhere closeby? Then http://www.ceredigion.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=10344 should be of interest in finding sources. I believe Ceredigion Council has those available somehow. Agathoclea (talk) 08:53, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Agathoclea. Thanks for the clarification and the link on Trawsgoed. I will use that for research. I might enlist your aid on the new article about the community. What should the article be named? Actually I live in DuPont, Washington. I have been to Wales twice, and intend to return as soon as I can. My Wiki Wales editing is an offshoot of genealogy research. Bye for now. ~Geaugagrrl ^talk 13:24, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

DYK for Cors Caron

On 31 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Cors Caron, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
