We have

• Cleveland, England
• County of Avon
• Cumberland, England
• Middlesex, England
• West Midlands (county)

Do you think these need standardising?

There is no point in adding these maps and lists of regions to European elections pages unless you explain what connection they have with the elections. I drew this to your attention over France but you did not respond. If you don't do something about this I will delete them. Adam 16:41, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. That all sounds very worthwhile, but you still need to say something at the France and Italy pages now, to explain what the maps and lists have got to do with the election results. You and I know that the elections in those countries were conducted on a regional basis, but the readers don't. Adam 22:47, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The Lord St John of Fawsley

Mr Edkins, I noticed that you created an article on Lord St John of Fawsley. The article, while admirable in terms of content, is, unfortunately, mistitled. I just wished to indicate the naming convention that is supposed to apply: hereditary peers use the format "John Smith, 1st Baron London," with exceptions for individuals who are almost never referred to by peerage titles, e.g., Francis Bacon, Bertrand Russell, Robert Walpole, Anthony Eden, etc., and also for individuals who disclaimed titles, e.g. Alec Douglas-Home. Articles on life peers created under the Life Peerages Act 1958 and Lords of Appeal in Ordinary appointed under the Appellate Jurisdiction Act 1876, however, under the convention that applies, are supposed to use only the personal name, not the peerage dignity. Some, including myself, are trying to have the same rule apply to both hereditary and life peers (so that the aforesaid Lord St John of Fawsley would be at "Norman St John-Stevas, Baron St John of Fawsley"), but such a proposal has yet to be approved; hence, for the time being, the rule that articles on life peers should not use the dignities in titles applies. I just wished to indicate the convention so that you might be aware of it when creating further articles on life Barons and Baronesses. (Note that these rules do not apply to fictional peers, e.g. Lord Emsworth) -- Emsworth 01:04, Jul 5, 2004 (UTC)

West Lancashire

According to [2], Ormskirk is to be entirely part of Sefton, rather than split between Sefton and Wigan. I wonder if this change is big enough to need the map on Lancashire updating? Can't seem to find the actual Orders on parliament.uk Morwen - Talk 19:08, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, Keith for being so brave to steal you some time about this. As English is not my native tongue I can not understand a word **unded** within the Insects head on your user page.

Olympic countries links

I've noticed you've been posting the results in the Olympics pages. Keep up the good work! But a few things need to be changed:

• "China" should link to "People's Republic of China": [[People's Republic of China|China]]
• "Ireland "should link to "Republic of Ireland": [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]
• "Macedonia" should be spelled out in full: Former Yugoslav [[Republic of Macedonia]]
• "Great Britain" should link to "United Kingdom": [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]]

Infoboxes - MSPs/AMs/MLAs/MEPs?

Hey Keith,

I don't know if you recognize me or not. We spoke about US Presidental maps on your site via email about two years ago. Small world. :)

What would you think of each UK council area had it's AM/MSP/MLA/MEP in addition to it's MP? I feel this would make the charts compete. For an example, See my Sandbox with an infobox for Cardiff council that have AMs and MEPs.

If you sign off on this, I can do the Welsh UAs and NI Council Areas and struggle through the Scottish UA's. English local goverment is a huge mess to me. (I say this as a respectful Usian, aka "American")

Enjoy!

iHoshie 08:46, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

A little progress update. I have added the MEP links/AMs to all the Welsh UA's that compose the Northern Assembly region. I am currently working on the UA's that comprise the Mid West assembly region. - iHoshie 06:34, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Sources for UK MEPs names 1979

The best source I have found is the Home Office Statistical Bulletin giving the results of the 1984 elections. Most 1979 MEPs stood again in 1984. Those who didn't were:

Sir David L. Nicholson (London Central)
Sir Brandon Meredith Rhys Williams, Bt. (London South East)
Michael Eric Forth (Birmingham North)
David Anthony Harris (Cornwall and Plymouth)
Mary Elaine Kellett-Bowman (Cumbria)
Roland Boyes (Durham)
Harmar Harmar-Nicholls, Baron Harmar-Nicholls (Greater Manchester South)
Peter Nicholas Price (Lancashire West)
John Mark Taylor (Midlands East)
Richard George Caborn (Sheffield)
Sir Frederick Archibald Warner (Somerset)
Robert Victor Jackson (Upper Thames)
James Wilton Spicer (Wessex)
Stanley Patrick Johnson (Wight and Hampshire East) - father of Boris!
Neil Roxburgh Balfour (Yorkshire North)
Brian Michael Key (Yorkshire South)
Ann Clwyd [Ann Clwyd Roberts] (Mid and West Wales)
Alan Ralph Rogers (South East Wales)
Ian Malcolm Dalziel (Lothians)

Note some moved constituency: A.D. Fergusson from Strathclyde West to London Central, M. Gallager from Nottingham to Lancashire Central (and switched Lab to SDP), D.A. Enright from Leeds to Kent East.Dbiv 11:02, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

UKCOTW nominee

While I like the UKCOTW nominee template and the UKCOTW initiative I don't think that every article nominated needs to have it at the top. Placing a message on the talk page and a message at the top of that weeks UKCOTW is the usual way of working COTWs, otherwise they appear everywhere and it begins to look messy. violet/riga (t) 19:44, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Railway article categories

Hi. I see you're changing TOCs to Category:British privatised railway companies; I think Category:British railway companies is better, because for example you've include Heathrow Express as a privatised company which is not correct -- it was never privatised because it was never state-owned. -- Arwel 17:00, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

I've "started" the Free the Rambot Articles Project which aims to get users to release all of their contributions to the U.S. state, county, and city articles (if any) under the CC-by-sa 1.0 and 2.0 license (at minimum) or into the public domain if they prefer. A secondary, but equally important, goal is to get those users to release ALL of their edits for ALL articles. I've personally chosen to multi-license all of the rambot and Ram-Man contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License so that other projects, such as WikiTravel, can use our articles. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at minimum those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or even {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case, since the number of your edits is in the top 100. If you do want to do it, simply just copy and paste one of the above two templates into your user page and it will allow us to track those users who have done it. For example:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people do or don't like to do, see Wikipedia:Multi-licensing), you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}} -- Ram-Man 00:20, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 04:35, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

List of counties maps

I saw you made a numbered map for List of South Carolina counties. I was wondering if you could do the same for Florida? I'd do it but I can't find where the map of Florida with just blank county lines is. Mike H 10:11, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you! You did a very good job. Mike H 17:21, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

About Florida Panhandle...I noticed you created the article, and I found a bit about it to be factually inaccurate. I used another map to help me weed out the eastern counties that aren't considered to be the Panhandle by pretty much any northern Floridian, and left fifteen counties. Can you redraw the map to illustrate this? [4]

Most maps I've seen on Yahoo! search are much more conservative than the 15 counties I listed (only one map, from utexas, gives the same borders as you had, while still other maps listed as few as ten counties...they had neglected Tallahassee while it's quite an integral part of the Panhandle).

Lepidopteran taxoboxes

I've been updating old HTML taxoboxes to use the new taxobox templates, and I found that many lepidoptera taxoboxes have sections on "type species" and "diversity" that don't fit into the scheme described at Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/taxobox usage. So I have proposed some new templates at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life#Lepidopteran taxoboxes and converted one article, Geometer moth, to show how the new templates will look. I would be grateful if you could comment on the proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life#Lepidopteran taxoboxes. Gdr 11:14, 2005 May 26 (UTC)

Constituency maps

Hey, I'm really glad that you've made the constituency maps, the one thing I'm not sure about though is showing the position of the county in the the country though, I would have thought it would be better to show the constituency in the country map as well (ie, show it's position on a map showing all counties) or if that's a problem because of geographically small constituencies maybe showing the position of the constituency in the region (ie, South East england, south west et al) -- Joolz 13:22, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Buckinghamshire

You have contributed to Buckinghamshire in the past, so may I invite you to contribute to a dispute that is breaking out. Some guy who is obsessing about the traditional counties has plonked a great big infobox in the article. It's not useless stuff, but in my view it belongs in History of Buckinghamshire, not in the current main article. But I'll leave you to make your own mind up. Have a look and contribute to talk:Buckinghamshire, please. --Concrete Cowboy 23:15, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Maps in SVG

Wikipedia now supports images in SVG. They are rasterized on demand. Vector graphic images scale nicely to many sizes, and are far easier to modify and colaborate on.. as a result it would be great to get your maps into SVG. I'm not aware of what process you use to generate the maps, but I'll take a guess that they are in some vector form before you rasterize them (eps, ai, dxf, whatever)... If you'd like help converting to SVG, I'd be glad to help any way I can, just let me know. --Gmaxwell 03:57, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Unparished areas

Any idea how I could go about getting a definitive list of unparished areas? Morwen - Talk 10:10, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Yep, I already have the big list of parishes - and its what I'm working from in my current project to make sure all parishes have articles (see User:Morwen/alldab. Constructed a list of totally unparished districts and put that at List of civil parishes in England. The other option I suppose is to find the order made under the LGA1972 that created the current parishes and trying to work forward from there. But that could be difficult. Keep finding interesting surprises - for example, Burton-upon-Trent is now entirely parished, with about 10 or so parishes for the various suburbs!, with Burton only really covering the town centre. Morwen - Talk 14:21, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Yep, I've been using that as a resource also. I think that list is exactly what I need as a base, I will then obviously have to check each district manually. But this was I can exclude districts that are fully parished without worrying that there is an unparished pit. Morwen - Talk 16:01, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping. The reason I don't like the projected figures is that they are based on older (2003) data and someones judgement of whats going to happen. I don't think that their use by the govenment gives them any more validity, they are still compiled by the ONS[5]. The last thing I want is 2 sets of numbers. I agree about the estimates not being definitive but they are the best nationwide source we have. josh (talk) 17:51, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

AFP images

I wouldn't be too pessimistic. Try to find the magazines in a library, and we'll see. If indeed it should turn out that some of these images were still copyrighted, we can still search for replacements. For example, if Image:Airspeed Oxford.jpg was copyrighted, we could use (a crop from) this one or that one from 1941, which are credited to the NARA, a U.S. feredal agency and thus in the public domain, no matter what © signs you find on that web page. :-) (To be fair, they even do acknowledge that many of their images are in the public domain.) Maybe I've been exceptionally lucky finding two images of that plane that are sure to be in the public domain relatively quickly, but even if the worst should happen and we cannot make a reasonably watertight case for your scans being in the public domain, there seem to be alternatives. It would be a pity for your work, though. I really hope you can establish the status of these images. Lupo 13:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that. Adminship is no big deal; not a commitment, per se; just a recognition that you can be trusted to delete pages, or edit protected pages, without violating common sense or trying to push a POV. But some people try to make it a big deal... short answers to all questions are also fine. Saying "I don't like controversy and would avoid it" is probably fine, too... And a good user with 500 edits can also be fine. If you change your mind sometime, let me know :) +sj + 23:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

It would need to include the whole of Victoria Island and replacing the syllabics with "Kitikmeot Region". It's needed for inclusion in the Kitikmeot Region, Northwest Territories article. Thanks.

Thanks for the image. It's in with Kitikmeot Region, Northwest Territories now and looks great. I'm not so bothered about the other regions right now as I can't seem to find the necessary information to create the articles. Thanks again. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 22:06, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. It will give me an incentive to go to the local library and see if they have anything. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 00:53, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
