Double Chimney link

Since you clearly want a link for a page that doesnt exist why not make a start in creating the page. Here's the link and in your own time go. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_chimney — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moylesy98 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the link, whoever you are. Please sign your edits on talk pages. It is good to see the benefit to Wikipedia of having a competent editor such as User:Andy Dingley on railway articles.SovalValtos (talk) 07:42, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Sissinghurst Castle Garden

The garden is now at FAC, here, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sissinghurst Castle Garden/archive1. We really appreciate your input to date and if you have time to review it, we'd be more grateful still. KJP1 (talk) 19:43, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

I do not have the advanced skills needed to help at the level of detail required. Thank you for asking anyway and I look forward to admiring the progress of your next project KJP1.SovalValtos (talk) 22:27, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

I seriously think you under-sell yourself. Your contributions to this point have been extremely helpful. But quite understand and appreciate the comment. As it stands, I think Tintern Abbey is next on the list for an overhaul. KJP1 (talk) 16:35, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Tintern photos

Thank you for your kind words KJP1. Having just glanced at the Tintern Abbey article I think I may have spotted one aspect which I might improve. Photos such as [1] or [2] are not high resolution but provides important views. I could make a journey to photo but it would be just for one day. Winter is good for lack of foliage obscuring, Summer is more appealing to some. I have adequate skills if not posh equipment for general photography but not for technical architectural views. It may be too soon to know what is needed, but if there is a shopping list for photos, please let me know.SovalValtos (talk) 20:10, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Many apologies for the delay in getting back. That's an incredibly generous offer which I shall certainly take up. It is sadly lacking in photos, as you say there's really only one decent image, although way too many 19th century engravings!, though there are some better ones in Commons. I personally prefer images without loads of foliage, they may be less "pretty" but they tend to show the architectural features to better effect. I'll try and work out what may be really helpful and get back to you. It will make a very nice day trip. Although I grew up in Monmouthshire, I now only get down a couple of times a year. And then I'm usually tracking down the last of the Grade II* listed buildings in Monmouthshire, although we're nearly there on that. All best wishes. KJP1 (talk) 10:52, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

KJP1 I have started looking for view points and the time of day for lighting. The Devil's Pulpit is one possibility

Devil's Pulpit, Wye Valley

but it would be better early am. Good visibility, tripod and a ladder also needed as the trees will have grown. I am not a droner. Close-up features will need your requests, so another month OK. However, opening times shown from[3] exclude the possibility of on site early am pics which is how they portray it in misty mornings.

Food for thought. Will you include their lands and granges?SovalValtos (talk) 06:14, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
