Unified account

Hi,
you may want to consider getting a unified account instead of registering a separate one (WP:SUL, Special:MergeAccount). All accounts will be converted to global accounts soonish anyway.

Ah, I see you already have ([1]). I would recommend you merge them via the above special page, else all but the one here will be renamed in the course of Wikipedia:Unified login/Finalisation. Cheers, Amalthea 21:51, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Amalthea! I've just unified my accounts - that's a great tool, thanks for letting me know! Mabalu (talk) 22:15, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Totnes Fashion Museum

Could you edit what you found into the article? This has several links to websites, but most seem to lead to wider subjects. This mayt be because webpages have eben moved. Unless you are on staff there, I do not think you have a conflict of interest. The present article is a poor stub, which is probably why it has been subject to AFD.

User:Mabalu/Patrick Michael Castielle

  • Hi there, I just received an email from Olinda Castielle regarding this article. I have tried to explain to her that, as it stands, I cannot immediately reinstate the article, and thus I'm hoping that the sources which she sent me can be of use in expanding the article and thus avoiding CSD G4.

Hope this helps. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:22, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Hey, thanks Crisco 1492 - I will have to look at these later as they don't look SFW. However, the middle one, from the Daily Mail (urgh) I don't think would be considered a reliable source. But I will look and let you know - not got a whole lot of spare time ATM. 16:13, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I thought as much (about The Daily Mail). I note that some editors don't mind it for non-controversial statements, however (though using it at the FAC level will get quick opposes). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:20, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Someone just posted this to one of my Facebook groups, and I thought you might like it. http://www.fashioningtheearlymodern.ac.uk/object-in-focus/naming-a-womans-gown/. - PKM (talk) 01:36, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

I did indeed! Thank you! Very interesting - I'd have liked some commentary on the polonaise connection/links but very interesting site. :) Mabalu (talk) 09:06, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Oh, NOW I see the link to the fuller essay - I swear my reading skills do this on purpose. Mabalu (talk) 09:07, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Galleries in articles

Thousands of articles use galleries:

e.g. Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves
are you after all of them? Soranoch (talk) 23:24, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
The gallery for Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves is appropriate to the article and adds to the reader experience. I fail to see what you are getting at. Mabalu (talk) 00:20, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
