Your work at GTC

Hi there. An article you brought to GA status (Beyond the Sea) is part of a proposed Good Topic nomination, as part of the first season of the series. Just a heads-up to let you know about this in case you would like to be involved. Your username will be credited as one of the editors responsible for the articles unless you'd rather it not be. I'll not move forward with the nomination until I hear back from you in case there's anything you'd like to add or change. Thanks! GRAPPLE X 16:46, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm quite happy to be credited for 1/25 of it or whatever. :) It looks like you've put a lot of good work in there in getting them up to scratch, so well done. I'm not sure I'll have time to be involved as such although I will keep an eye out. Good luck! --BelovedFreak 17:32, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Extenison?

Do you mind if we have a time extension of Poppy? It's just the other user who nominated it, is really busy at the moment- and hopefully we be 'unbusy' in a few days. Thanks, - MayhemMario 18:48, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes that's absolutely fine. I saw that you've done some work on it already, but was waiting for that work to be complete before I check it over again. I'll keep an eye on the review page. --BelovedFreak 20:52, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

infoboxes and lists

Hi, I hope you are well, a couple of things:

I like the infobox you used on Martholme, I’ve just put one on Browsholme Hall. I noticed that the coordinates where a little odd so I’ve had a dig around and found a better way of doing them.

What are your thoughts on the creation of a List of Scheduled Monuments in Lancashire, this one from Manchester seems pretty good.

--Trappedinburnley (talk) 18:20, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that. I like that list and think a Lancashire one would be a Good Thing. Do you fancy starting one, or would you like me to start it off? --BelovedFreak 18:28, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

(Intruding) I've had a go at those in Cheshire at List of Scheduled Monuments in Cheshire dated to before 1066, List of Scheduled Monuments in Cheshire (1066–1539), and List of Scheduled Monuments in Cheshire since 1539. I'm not convinced that this is the best way to do it, but it may give some ideas for a Lancashire list/s. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 19:21, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the input, I’m happy for anyone else to take the lead on this. At the moment I’m trying to get my head around the data. Heritage List for England whould seem to be a good source, but I can't easily compaire it with the other lists. 136 results would seem just about managable in one article. Sticking a similar search into Pastscape gives me 6145 results! Any ideas? --Trappedinburnley (talk) 20:07, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the input and ideas Peter. I don't mind having a go at starting a list TiB, but it will take some time to get something complete enough to go live. My WP time's a bit hit and miss at the moment, and there are some other things I want to work on, but I interested in this. If I start it in a sandbox then you can help out if you feel like it. I'm not quite sure how to go about sourcing yet. How did you get 136 results from the National Heritage List for England site? I can't work out how to search for them on there. Pity we don't have a nice Lancs equivalent to the Revealing Cheshire's Past site. --BelovedFreak 21:05, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

The heritage list search is a bit of a pig. I can’t link directly to results, but if you select Lancashire (county) in location and scheduling in the heritage category, you should see what I got. I have since realised that we’d need to add Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool to those results, and that one or two Cumbria results seem to have crept in. To compare with Cheshire it seems we need to do 2 searches, one for Cheshire East = 107 results, and one for Cheshire West and Chester = 117 results (both District/Unitary Authority/Borough). I know how you feel, that’s exactly why I’m looking for some help with it. If you sort out the structure I’ll try to contribute on the data?--Trappedinburnley (talk) 21:34, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I've made a start here. I think it may be an even bigger task than I thought because the English Heritage list doesn't seem to have descriptions for all the monuments. Anyway, I've started, and added at least one per section, so I hope it gives you something to work with. I've put them into borough sections for now, but it may be that we need to split them into different articles like the Cheshire ones if there are too many. There don't seem to be any in Blackpool (no surprise there) or Fylde. I'll try to add more, but hopefully you'll be able to add some info to what's there (if you want). I'm not sure about coordinates, maybe one of the other EH websites will help us there. --BelovedFreak 22:40, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I fear that you are correct, this will take a long time! The entries do seem to contain OS Grid Refs (SD) that can be converted. I did one at Streetmap, but you need to remove the spaces when searching and then convert the coordinates at the bottom of the map. I can’t see that getting old very fast at all :( Another problem I’ve run into is that Pastscape doesn’t seem to contain entries for all of the results on the Heritage list. Finally most of them seem to be in my neck of the woods, so I can’t even shift the responsibility! Oh well, I guess we’ll just have to chip away at it as time permits. Thanks for your help --Trappedinburnley (talk) 00:02, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Of course it's a hard long job (don't I know it?), but interesting; it's amazing what's out there. Are you aware of the template {{NHLE |num= |desc= |accessdate= }}? Easy and quick to use for the National Heritage List. I'm not sure what you use for finding coordinates; I'm currently using this; USA-based but pretty good on the whole at finding even small places (advice: include the county as well as a place name in the search box — otherwise you may find yourself in USA). I agree that the lack of some descriptive details is an annoyance, but the GRs are useful (if stuck, you can abbreviate them to 2 letters and 6 digits and search in Streetmap. Enjoy (as they say), --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:40, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Definitely interesting and, I'm sure, worth it in the end. Thanks for those tips. I didn't know we had a dedicated template for that site. I think this is something that might have slow progress, but I'm sure we'll end up with a good list eventually. --BelovedFreak 09:53, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

(This talk page is still on my watchlist due to previous conversations.) For what it's worth, I've found http://www.nearby.org.uk/ to be a quick and easy site for coordinate conversions. -- Dr Greg  talk  14:03, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Good job in all the changes and upgrades you've done to the page, but it seems like information on pertaining the African countries still needs some upgrades Wesleyndlovu (talk) 23:56, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

GA reviews

Hey Belovedfreak,

Since you seem to do a lot of GA reviews, could you see if mine are fine? Thanks.

HurricaneFan25 17:01, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Just from a quick glance, they look fine, but I'll have a closer look and make any suggestions that occur to me tomorrow. --BelovedFreak 21:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Discussion on linking to streamed copies of albums

Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 01:54, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

J. S. Crowther

Christmas Greetings! Having been inspired by your article on this architect I decided to have a go at compiling a list of the significant works that I could find. The result is here. The format I have used is that of a number of lists I have used that have been successful at FLC. IMO this should be combined with the article you have started; do you agree? If so I'm not sure what would be the best way to do it; any ideas? Indeed it may turn out to be more a list-article rather than an article say, like List of works by Thomas Harrison or List of works by Thomas Lockwood. Any thoughts? No rush; after Christmas/New Year will be fine. Have a good break. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Peter, looks good as usual. :) As it (J. S. Crowther) stands, it doesn't contain anything that wouldn't be included in the lead of a FL, so I suppose they could be combined, perhaps with J. S. Crowther as a redirect to the list until there is enough for a proper, developed separate article. Is that the kind of thing you meant? I've been a bit absent around here of late, swamped with real life type stuff and sometimes just logging on to check my watchlist. I'm hoping I'll be able to get stuck into something on WP this holiday period, but I can't tell yet if it's going to be more or less busy! Anyway, good luck with the list and let me know if you want any comments on it at any point. Merry Christmas! --BelovedFreak 20:18, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment. I should be happy to combine the two in the way I have done previously,(ie as in my last message) if that's OK by you, but maybe not until the New Year. Some of the citations will I think have to be amended so that they are all in a similar format, but that shouldn't be a problem. Have a happy time. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 21:47, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Happy New Year. OK, I've done it, with a few minor amendments, and some tweaks to the refs. Hope it's OK by you; if not please improve it. Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:43, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Happy new year to you (if we can still say that). Looks like you've done a good job there.--BelovedFreak 12:03, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Monuments

Hi, I hope you are well. I plan to spend a bit more time on the ancient monuments list over the break, and was wondering how to progress. I could continue filling the rest if the tables as I have been doing, or would you rather split it on an east / west basis, in which case I’ll start fleshing out the stuff I’ve already done? --Trappedinburnley (talk) 10:21, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, you may have noticed I've not done anything else on the monuments, been very busy (see above!). As to your question, I don't mind at all which way you attack it. If you'd rather stick to the areas you're familiar with, that's fine. :) We'll have to dig out some more sources at some point. --BelovedFreak 20:21, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Edmund Sharpe

I have spent a lot of time recently on this article about the man who founded the Lancaster architectural practice that became "Paley and Austin" with many variations of those names. As you know, they designed many of the 19th and 20th-century churches in the Northwest. Sharpe was also involved in many other ventures. I have submitted it today as a FAC here and you may like to have a look at the article, and also make comments if you wish. Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:49, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gary Graff

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Gary Graff requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mdann52 (talk) 15:53, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Help with Latvian mythology

Hi Belovedfreak,

A few other editors and I are involved in a discussion at Talk:Latvian mythology#Latvian mythology or Baltic mythology? about whether Latvian mythology (and, by extension, other Baltic mythology articles like Lithuanian mythology) are deserving of their own articles or whether they should be merged into Baltic mythology, which should be written to explain the similarities and differences between them?

You seem to be involved with WP:Wikiproject Mythology and your knowledge of writing mythology articles could be a great help in our discussion.
