Embassy Court

Congratulations!Zigzig20s (talk) 18:18, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Upon reflection, I don't think you should mention ""a haven for squatters, drug addicts and the homeless" in the introduction. It sounds a bit POV and negative, even if it is referenced. Perhaps be more neutral in the introduction and move critical assessments to later sections?Zigzig20s (talk) 22:50, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Completely other topic but...want to help revert the speedy delete tag on this page I've created please? Christian de Villeneuve-Esclapon. I really HATE people who try to delete referenced page.Zigzig20s (talk) 05:03, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

That speedy delete tag was removed. However, have you thought about what I said about Embassy Court? And do you think you'll have time for the Wagners soon? I wouldn't mind helping as long as I am still in Europe.Zigzig20s (talk) 08:10, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that sounds more neutral I think.Zigzig20s (talk) 13:26, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

That's a shame. I suppose I'll keep focusing on the Parliament of Aix-en-Provence and other similar topics like their hotels particuliers, although it is becoming a bit boring--there's just so much I can take about the Ancien Régime before I turn on Lady Gaga! And happy new year!Zigzig20s (talk) 13:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Bravo! What I think is really lacking btw, is an article about the gay scene on the seafront, and its history. But it will be hard to find good references for it I think.Zigzig20s (talk) 15:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I wasn't familiar with this article but to look more encyclopedic, the history section should come first and should be greatly expanded (I heard the scene really took off in the 1980s/1990s?). Alan Sinfield and others might have written about this. Actually the attacks against him by the Conservatives is something that is really lacking on here--to the point that it almost feels like censorship. It explains a lot about why the Conservatives are now very pro-gay in this part of the country...The problem is I don't have access to old newspapers from the 80s onwards.Zigzig20s (talk) 01:19, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

disambiguation page

Hi. Are you able to fix the talkpage on Lahure? I think I've asked you to do this for another page before, but I can't remember how you did it. BTW, I will try to created Ockenden Manor later today if I can find the time. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 09:26, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Oh. Ockenden is already there. I will try to add more history re: the Loder batonets then.Zigzig20s (talk) 09:28, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

category creation

Hello. Can you please help me--I've been trying to figure this out--I am not sure I am creating categories correctly. I'm especially interested in creating sub-categories per county for photo requests in Alabama and Mississippi. I've just created this by requesting a picture in the county on this page and then clicking on the red link, copying and pasting the category...otherwise it doesn't seem to create the page. But it looks like it is self-linking. Can you please help me figure this out? I know this has nothing to do with Brighton, but it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Zigzig20s (talk) 17:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Btw there is a problem with categories. I explained it here and I hope they get back to me, but perhaps you understand what is going on?Zigzig20s (talk) 18:31, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Userpage redirect

Hello. Is this normal? It looks strange to me.Zigzig20s (talk) 21:02, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I thought the whole point was to delete the userpage?Zigzig20s (talk) 21:39, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Adullam Chapel, Brighton

Hi, Amongst your sources on Brighton buildings do you have anything on the "Adullam Chapel"? I've been doing some editing on Agapemonites & found a mention, which is uncited, about its use by The Reverend Henry James Prince in the 1840s & wondered if you had any local sources which could back this up?— Rod ^talk 21:28, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

The Wagners

Hello. Would you consider their pages (father and son) now-ish and expanding them later when you've read the book you mentioned?Zigzig20s (talk) 17:49, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Cool. We seem to work differently. I tend to create a stub and then expand it to start (though sometimes I do that from my userpage now).Zigzig20s (talk) 09:59, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

The reason I thought they got deleted is because...doesn't it come money to keep unused webpages up, especially when we know they won't be used again as they were only userpages that have been moved to a real article?Zigzig20s (talk) 22:19, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Good job on the Wagner userpage so far. Btw, would you feel comfortable uploading [1] this picture to your wikimedia commons account so that it can be added to his page on wikipedia? I've tried to ask people at commons, but they want me to do it and I don't want it on my account. Would you mind?Zigzig20s (talk) 19:45, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Uploading copyrighted material as "public domain"

Hi there,

I notice you uploaded the files File:National Routeing Guide.jpg and File:National Fares Manual 64.JPG a number of years back.

It is reasonably believed that the copyright on these is already owned by the original publishers (and that you do not own the copyright), so you do not have the right to place them in the public domain as indicated by the license. They have therefore been converted to "fair use" images.

Please note that in the case of straightforward (non-creative or "slavish") reproductions of copyrighted material, the copyright remains with the original owner.

In some countries (not the US AFAIK), rephotographing material grants the re-photographer some additional copyright in the new copy, but this doesn't negate the original owner's copyright, so the image remains non-free and fair use.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your contribution to the wiki Victuallers (talk) 12:27, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Wow that's an awesome article!! Still waiting for some development on the George Hotel before FAC...♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:31, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

That would be great. I really think it's worth a shot. Are there any more maps you want? I've just requested a few at [2] . If you want detailed maps for pin anywhere in Brighton or any town or part of southeast England just ask!13:34, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

We can start with a better map for File:Southampton from OpenStreetMap.png for starters! With Brighton do you want a map with the suburbs labelled on it or simply a blank one so you can code it to wikilink the articles like that? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:10, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

I'll ask at a later date, I've just requested a map of Southampton and Herm so I don't want to overburden him all at once!! Remind me though in a few weeks, we could definitely replace some of the OS maps with better quality ones like File:Kensington and Chelsea London UK location map.svg, although on a better scale...♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
