Article Deletion edit

I deleted the article under CSD A7 as I believed it was not a very notable family. I still do think the family itself is not notable in a more general respect, but if you disagree, I would appreciate if you could provide me with some references as to why the family is notable. Thanks. Nishkid64 17:16, 4 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

The article on the family did have references but I don't see how they are notable outside of Cheshire. I mean...if you just google "France-Hayhurst" you only get 350 hits, which doesn't really seem to justify the family's notability. Nishkid64 23:40, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Oh, good point about Google. I was thinking that, but I wasn't so sure. Anyway, you persuaded me to change my decision, so now I have restored the article. =) Nishkid64 00:13, 6 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you edit

  The Epic Barnstar
I just noticed your excellent contributions in History of Middlewich, History of salt in Middlewich and various other Middlewich related articles and I must say I am impressed with your professional contributions. I found both to be fascinating reads. There's not many towns with this depth of coverage. You and your work are a credit to wikipedia, keep it up.  YDAM TALK 12:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Possible project or sub-project dealing with Cheshire edit

Hello, I've noticed that you've been making some really good entries about a number of towns and sites in Cheshire, and so I thought I'd tell you about this, since I think you would make a useful contributor to any project or sub-project that was set up: I've listed a proposed project concerning Cheshire on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I think it can easily co-exist with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. If you are interested in contributing to this proposed project, please add your name to list at the appropriate place. You can have a broader discussion about it here. Many thanks.  DDS  talk 23:03, 28 December 2006 (UTC)Reply


New project concerned with Cheshire edit

Thanks for showing an interest in a new project about all things concerning Cheshire. I've set up a project page, and its associated talk now, which you can see here. It would be really good if you were able to join the project by adding your name to the page, and adding it to your watchlist. Please feel free to contribute to setting up the project page for example, by joining in or creating discussions you can find on the talk page. Looking forward to seeing you there.  DDStretch  (talk) 12:54, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Reply


Categories of Cheshire (on the project talk page) edit

Hi! I see we were editing at the same time. I have just added a section specifically about categoeries. Would it be an idea to move your comment within that section? I think your suggestion is a good one, by the way.  DDStretch  (talk) 23:59, 18 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Middlewich GA edit

I just had a quick look at this and there is something very wrong with the wikification after your quote from Boswell. Good luck with the GA. Ben MacDui (Talk) 20:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: GA review of Middlewich edit

You might also want to cross-reference Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements with information at WP:CITIES. While Middlewich is clearly not a major city, some of the subtopics and categories listed in the city wikiproject probably apply nonetheless. Dr. Cash 00:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

A new project: Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Waterways edit

Hello. Since you contributed to some of the material about canals in Cheshire, as well as providing the schematic of the Cheshire ring, I thought you might be interested to see the above new project has started up.  DDStretch  (talk) 09:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

GA for Middlewich edit

Thanks for the congratulations iro Runcorn. I see that you've done a lot more work on Middlewich and I've had a quick scan through the latest version which is looking good. I think you should get GA soon - good luck anyway. Peter I. Vardy 11:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wirral in First Battle of Middlewich edit

Hi,

I just realized that there is an article called Hundred of Wirral. Do you think this would be a better choice for disambiguating Wirral in First Battle of Middlewich? Thanks in advance for your time, Lisatwo 21:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Duplicate images uploaded edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Middlewich - Roman artefacts - Brooches.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Image-Middlewich - Roman artefacts - Brooches.jpg. The copy called Image:Image-Middlewich - Roman artefacts - Brooches.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 22:00, 7 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Middlewich peer review edit

I've done a quick peer review on Middlewich -- looking at my comments I fear they look rather overwhelming, so I should stress that in my opinion the article isn't too far from GA and most of the changes suggested are cosmetic ones. Do ask if anything's unclear, though I don't frequent Wiki as often at weekends, so I might not answer immediately. Cheers, Espresso Addict 03:38, 20 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Template:Mid Cheshire Media edit

A tag has been placed on Template:Mid Cheshire Media requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:38, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Middlewich's GA review edit

Just in case you missed it, the Middlewich article has had its GA review at last, and there are just a few small things that need doing, so it's on hold for now. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 02:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Looks like it was successful, congratulations! Espresso Addict (talk) 15:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Questionnaire edit

In an effort to assess the progress of Wikiproject Cheshire, it has been decided to send a questionnaire to members. To answer, please copy this questionnaire and paste your answers on the answer page. While participation is, of course, not compulsory, thoughtful answers will help the project to develop and improve. Thank you.

1. The project is always looking for new members, so we want to find out which ways of attracting and approaching potential members work best. Do you remember how and why you joined?
Answer:
2. How would you describe your involvement in the project? What activities do you undertake and how often do you edit Cheshire-related article?
Answer:
3. Do you feel like you receive adequate support/contact from project members?
Answer:
4. The project talk page is intended to be the hub of the project, where members discuss articles and help each other improving them. Until very recently it has been almost inactive, but do you check the project talk page?
Answer:
4a. If the talk page was more active, would you get involved in discussions there?
Answer:
5. When viewing Cheshire-related articles, are there any issues that have stood out as needing attention or frustrated you? (Traditional counties POV, poor coverage about a particular subject, vandalism going unnoticed etc)
Answer:
6. Maintaining the Cheshire portal is one of the Cheshire WikiProject's main aims, providing a display of the best and most up to date articles that are part of the project. There is currently a drive to promote it to featured status, but input from a wide range of members is needed. Do you have the portal on your watchlist?
Answer:
7. Would you be interesting in subscribing to a newsletter covering North West England, with details of work done by WikiProjects representing Cheshire, Greater Manchester, and Merseyside?

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
