This article you created way back in 2009 was just tagged for speedy deletion. I've declined the speedy and cleaned it up a bit; it seems the article had deteriorated quite a bit since you first worked on it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 20:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

That should also be documented on File:Roses and Castles tray.jpg as well since it is not de minimis. I recommend using OTRS to document the permission permanently for the future, in case someone challenges the permission. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 14:26, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Undue weight of Template:Kennet and Avon Canal

I notice your addition of Template:Kennet and Avon Canal has resulted rendering of WP:UNDUE weight in the article of John Rennie the Elder in my opinion.

If your objection is "visually obtrusive", the template can be collapsed. If your objection is undue weight relative to Rennie's other works, feel free to remove it. MIDI (talk) 19:12, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

I've removed it as it seems to put undue emphasis on one aspect of Rennie's work. I suggest you ensure it's collapsed mostly everywhere else you've applied it. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:18, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
