Re Christchurch

Hi Wander Woman, Thanks for your recent edit to the Christchurch article. I've moved the information to the History of article as I consider that a more appropriate place for such a level of detail. Of course you are free to disagree and revert if you so wish. Thanks for your interest in the article. Happy editing--Ykraps (talk) 22:15, 4 August 2013 (UTC) ... and here's a welcome template with some useful links.

Hi Ykraps,

I will not revert, but I do think that the Domesday Book is worth a mention on the Christchurch page, as when I read the page, I actually wondered about it, which is why I added the sentence and ref - I think it's a detail that people routinely want to know about when learning about British towns/villages. In my opinion the Domesday Book is better known among laypeople than the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, if your rationale for paring down history on the page is level of detail. I didn't know about the History of article or I would have taken a look and edited that article as well. :-) Thanks for moving my edit! Wander Woman (talk) 14:19, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

I also think it's misleading as Christchurch actually has no entries in the Domesday book not having existed as such at the time. And I'd even go so far as to say inaccurate. If we take the author's point of view, Christchurch would have many more than just the two entries he claims. Holdenhurst, later part of the Manor Christchurch and later still part of Bournemouth; and Hobourne, Knapp, and Hurn (still part of Christchurch today), are just a few that come to mind. I also thought it wasn't that extraordinary, there must be many towns that have grown to encompass smaller settlements and thus many towns that have multiple entries in the Domesday book. By the way, the customary way of replying to a thread is through indentation (click link), not emboldening the text which, like capitalizing, is considered by some to be hammering your point home. All the best--Ykraps (talk) 10:10, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello Ykraps. I understand the point you make above concerning misleading and/or inaccurate information. I still do think it is worth a mention, since I must not be the only person to wonder about Domesday Book references. Perhaps not in the way that I originally included it, because you make a fair point. I do think, however, it is just as deserving (and better known to the lay person) of inclusion as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It is quite routine to mention the Domesday Book when discussing general history, as that gives ordinary people (children included) a good and immediate frame of reference when considering the history and importance/value of a town/area. I do feel strongly about this (oddly, lol! Little did I know that when I joined, Wikipedia I would sometimes feel as if I were defending a thesis. lol!) but I certainly do not want to be branded as disruptive or a vandal - which is why I did not revert. Perhaps we could look for other references to the historical Christchurch area in Open Domesday or refer to it in some general way.

I also suggest including a See Also section with History of Christchurch, Dorset included, as well as other pages about surrounding areas, so people can easily refer to those pages if they don't find what they're looking for on the Christchurch page.

I certainly did not intend to offend anyone by being bold. Referring to both text and edits. With regard to the text, it is simply easier on my eyes and I have limited this preference to my own pages since I understand that some may not understand my intention. I did know about indentation.

Hi Jenova20. Thanks for the hospitality and for helping to answer my question! It looks like the page has had a lot of activity since my edit. I hope you don't mind, but I'm copying your answer to the C4M Talk page so others can see why I haven't uploaded the image. Really unfortunate that it is forbidden, actually. Best, Wander Woman (talk) 21:03, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the inconvenience of image copyright for you. Thanks for trying ツ Jenova20 ^(email) 21:32, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

I have requested undeletion of this article. Wander Woman (talk) 15:03, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

I left a message on Arthur goes shopping's talk page about this article on 30 April 2014. He is the reviewer who initially rejected this article. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Arthur_goes_shopping#Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation.2FRescue_Remedies_Dog_Rescue

I also include here, the message I posted to Arthur:

Hi Arthur,

You reviewed and rejected this article I submitted last August. Apologies for bringing this up so long after the article submission. The 3D world got in the way for awhile, however I am now working on the article again. If this is an inappropriate place in which to discuss this article, I am happy for you to move my discussion, or let me know where and with whom I should take up this issue.

I would like to submit to you a list of reasons why this article should be accepted for publication:

• Rescue Remedies really is a legitimate, well-thought-of UK dog rescue charity. The way it lists its rescue dogs is utterly unique. Each dog has its own detailed blog – something that does not otherwise exist in the UK and possibly the rest of the world. This alone should justify its listing, since they have done something no other rescue charity has.
• As you can see by the number of citations, even if some of these were initially unacceptable to you, the Rescue really does have a large internet presence – it just hasn’t been in existence as long as some of the ‘famous’ UK rescues.
• There are at least two existing citations that are independent: Hertfordshire Life and Dog World.
• The Charity Commission listing should also count as independent as only legitimate, registered charities can be listed on the site.
• Twickenham Vet Surgery supports the Rescue and would not otherwise mention it on their site – the same is true of Paws in the Park.
• Rescue Remedies works with two citable (and other as yet uncitable) organisations already listed on Wikipedia – Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, and Dogs Blog – this adds to the entry’s legitimacy.
• Other UK rescues listed on wiki do not exactly have a robust number of citations. Examples: People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA); Battersea Dogs and Cats Home; The Blue Cross; National Animal Welfare Trust (NAWT)

I really would like to see my article published, so any suggestions you may have in order to achieve this goal (beyond citing newspaper articles that do not yet exist) will be appreciated.

Many thanks for discussing this article with me. Wander Woman (talk) 12:47, 30 April 2014 (UTC) Wander Woman (talk) 13:30, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
