Hi Stavros 1:
I am the grandaughter of Captain manuel Argüelles, the Owner of SS Cantabria, and I wrote the book about the shipwreck, I made a very carefully investigation in many achivements and libraries, they do not stole the Ship, they still loyal to the Spanish Republic, but Franco was taking the domain and declared that all the merchandise ships belongs to the rebels. The ship belongs to the company of Alfonso Perez and son´s and you can consult all the information in his page. I had the Shipwreck Act and many information about this episode.

I do see that you have made positive contributions. I also see that you have a love of Norfolk, which can only be a good thing. These things were never in question. My attitude is that Wikipedia should be as good as it can be, and that includes adhering to MoS formatting guidelines, proper referencing, and correct use of English. It is for these reasons that I have eebn trawling through your back catalogue as, while you are an enthusiastic contributor, your edits often could benefit from a second pair of eyes. Please do not think this is personal; rather, use my corrections as hints about what you could improve on in future. Pyrope 10:20, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Stavros. Perfectly good (in fact, pretty advanced) infoboxes already exist for rivers. The older {{Geobox River}} is fairly widely used (see it at River Thames, for instance) but has been superceeded by the newer, generic Geobox2 template. This is adapted to fit a river using the template pro formae located at {{Geobox/type/river}}. To use the template just cut and paste the appropriate blank form (metric or imperial) into the article that you want to edit, then fill in the blanks (not forgetting to reference the information!). Hope that helps. Pyrope 12:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Pyrop
Thanks for the InformationStavros1 17:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your articles, particulary the Norfolk ones.Can you help? Please check the Cromer article concerning the cultivation of opium poppies. I tagged it and then deleted the reference, but it has been reinstated. The only poppies I see growing in this area are the common field poppies. Can you shed some light on these mysterious plants ? Cheers Northmetpit (talk) 10:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi Stavros1. Yes that's strange that someone deleted that piece of nonsense after I mentioned it.Going onto Wright's Flour Mill,I will try to take some photos of the mill, when I visit the area.Thanks for the reply Northmetpit (talk) 11:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Nice one! Cracking image that, and thanks for the edit summary namecheck, sweet. I was wondering if you would mind me transferring it to Commons. I know that there are dedicated motorsport editors at other language Wikis who would love to use that? Pyrope 13:59, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I've stood on the terraces at Silverstone plenty of times myself, and I know exactly what you mean about getting a good photo. That really is a moment of history though, you did tremendously well to get such a clear shot! If it were my photo I'd have a copy framed on my desk! ;-) Pyrope 15:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I never did accuse you of plagiariam! What I wrote, and I quote, was "In fact, the vast bulk of this article is copied from there". Rreading it again, I can see that I've suggested things the wrong way round and this should have been clearer. Whatever, the point is that the war memorial is at present adequately covered in West Runton and unless there is something especially notable about this particular memorial it does not deserve its own article. It is, of course, up to you to demonstrate that this is the case (and if you do I will support you), but you have not done so yet. Emeraude (talk) 13:33, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Stavros. Thank you for your message. Usually, articles should not be in both a category and its subcategory. In case of wind farms in the United Kingdom, the correct category is Wind farms in the United Kingdom. Categories like Energy in the United Kingdom, Wind farms; Wind power; Alternative energy etc are parent (upper level) categories for the category:Wind farms in the United Kingdom, and therefore should not to be added, so I would like to ask you to revert restoring these categories. For more information and guidelines, please see WP:CAT. Regards, Beagel (talk) 16:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BBC Ballon over Cley.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Hi Stavros1, I've replaced this image in the article with a photo from Commons. It's currently unused therefore. Anyway, could you please add information about the source and the author to the file's description page? The image could be moved to the appropriate gallery then (that is impossible right now because it's not clear that the artist died more than 70 years ago). Many thanks --:bdk: 20:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Stavros1, did you receive my wiki email about lauching of Cromer lifeboats from pathe news. I ve just realized I had receive email option turned off in my preferences. --palmiped | Talk 08:41, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
After our discussion back in December about the West Runton War Memorial I kept seeing war memorials. I put together this collection of war memorial photos. At last I have got round to telling you about it.
Have you encountered the Roll of Honour website? They already have Sheringham. But if you were to offer to do West Runton for them, you would probably receive a very different reception from what you received here!
You appear to have had a brief period in March when you were doing image uploads to the Commons. Why have you reverted? Whenever copyright allows, please do all uploads to the Commons. Transferring your existing images would be a boring job - leave that to those who are keen - see the newly started WP:CUC. But at least you can avoid adding any more images here.
Two other small points:
with images from Geograph, please always use the {{Geograph}} tag
the words "digital photograph" in every description are rather quaint - and totally unneccessary - who else uses them?
Here are some bits you may care to add to your user page:
Surely we can get away with {{PD-old-70}} for this? And even if you have ripped it off from another website, Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. applies (the other way round from Beeston Regis Priory!). -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 00:41, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Don't agree with your group's opion and do not wish to discuss it with you as previouse communications have been a waste of time.
”
I disagree with a lot of Wikipedia's policy, but at the end of the day I accept that it is a community project so some flexibility is required from everybody. I am not a representative of the UK Roads Project, merely an independent participant. I would be grateful if you would have the civility to at least provide a response to me (either here or on your my talk page), and not acting so immaturely as to delete another editor's valid comments simply because you disagree with them. — MapsMan [ talk | cont ] — 16:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your comment. As you can see, I have not re-added the template further, as you wish. All I wanted was to enter into sensible debate, rather than you simply removing the template again and again. As it stands, up until now I had not been in debate with you, save your remarks in the edit summary. Whatever discussions you had with other editors, I was not party to. Please do not confuse me with a project I happen to be a member of.
I agree that putting on the template and doing nothing is not a viable option: what other action can you suggest? I personally think that the information contained within the route descriptions is useful, but I believe it can be presented in a better way. Maybe even if the same text was presented as a bullet point so that the overall route could be quickly scanned by the reader to get to the part of the road they want to find out information about. Editing the A57 road article today, I found it difficult indeed locating the part of the article I needed to change, both on-screen and in the edit box. If not a bullet list, then maybe a table with the left hand column containing a route section (A-B, B-C, C-D), then in the right hand side a description of about half a dozen lines for that section. Obviously the route would need to be divided up into sections accordingly, or descriptions perhaps kept a little more brief. — MapsMan [ talk | cont ] — 19:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks - I'm glad we've managed to resolve this. I've an idea: what I'll do is incorporate the route information into a table. I'll draft something up in a sandbox. I think I'll use A10 road as it's a road I'm sure both of us will know something about and therefore be in a position to decide whether it fits the job of an encyclopaedia.

Hi, I'll start with the Essex template, and then do Suffol and Norfolk as I work my way up. This won't be a quick process as I have an impending Wikibreak due to moving house soon.

re: Fort Hommet 10.5 cm Coastal Defence Gun Casement Bunkeredit
Hi, At the time I tagged the article it consisted of a single line of text reading "Fort Hommet 10.5 cm Coastal Defence Gun Casement Bunker is a fully restored Gun Casement that was part of Fortress Guernsey constructed by the forces of Nazi Germany between 1940 and 1945" and no references which attested to notability at all. As such, it provided no indication of notability such as it being unique. Please don't get cranky when people tag articles, but assume good faith and take the comment on board. It's also not advisable to start one line articles which make no claim to notability and provide no references as these can be speedy deleted by admins (I'm an admin, but am a military history specialist so gave this the benefit of the doubt). Nick Dowling (talk) 09:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you seem to have uploaded a few images of logos and UK road signs with {{pd-self}} and {{GFDL}} licensing templates. I'm afraid most logos are protected by copyright, and all UK road signs are covered by Crown copyright, so they should be tagged {{Non-free logo}} or {{Non-free Crown copyright}} instead. Please work through the following list and change the licensing information. Thanks! -- Sakurambo桜ん坊 12:11, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi, me again. Just to clarify, edits like this one where you changed the licensing of the National Trust logo from {{PD-self}} to {{PD-ineligible}} aren't going to help things. The National Trust logo belongs to the National Trust. You don't own the copyright on this logo, and it isn't in the public domain. Sorry :-( -- Sakurambo桜ん坊 22:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Stavros1,
Page 13 of `The Ship-wrecks off North Norfolk` Ayer Tikus Publications [3] says it was the Cuidad de Valenccia that attacked the Cantabria even though some reports said it was the Nadir, it does say that both may be correct and they may be one and the same vessel.

They appear to be waging a war of attrition against B Road articles in general (including the B1159 road in which I have a particular interest) and have recently succeeded in having deleted Template:GB B road zone 1.
You are! In my view every A and B road should be included - I am setting up redirects where I see a need so that the 'what links here' for to the lists can be accessed to see where B roads are mentioned in articles - this is in preference to piping to the list from the article. I will never delete an entry (as 217.36.107.9 has been doing for both A & B roads) by converting it to a redirect. Hope this clarifies things.
You and I are on the same side on this - btw our anonymous "friend" has just had a 24-hour block imposed for other road-related changes - Best Wishes Saga City (talk) 17:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
A user called Sam Knox uploaded the same images to Flickr last year ([4]). Since then s/he has uploaded several more images of Stephen Fry and Norfolk locations. I think we can assume good faith and presume that it is the same person sharing their free images. Since the user hasn't made many edits it might be ideal to get an OTRS email confirmation that s/he is the true photographer. I wouldn't know how to do that though. :D Bradley0110 (talk) 18:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Additionally, that Swaffam tie-in website went up to coincide with the second series in January, after the photos were uploaded here. I think it safe to assume they took the images from here, rather than the other way around. Bradley0110 (talk) 18:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Noticeedit
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!
I think you may find installing Twinkle Wikipedia:Twinkle useful....

Don`t know what to say about this issue, it would appear WikiProject UK Roads cannot agree one way or other, maybe you could group/merge the individual articles into one article say `B Roads of Norfolk`.--palmiped | Talk 22:18, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
The deletionists really are irritating aren't they?
What to suggest...
Have you read Wikipedia:Notability recently? If I've understood it correctly, all this talk about how busy the roads are, etc is really irrelevant. What you need are at least two more solid references for each road. If you live in Norfolk I'd suggest the local history section of your nearest library as a possible source for these. If there is a central library in Norwich that might be even better.
Can you add any history for these roads. How might the routes they follow have first come into being? Perhaps the routes are shown on William Faden's map of 1797 if you can find a copy or facsimile.
Can you develop the articles to the point where they meet the six B-Class criteria? It's often not as difficult as it seems at first glance.
In general, when an article seems to be "under attack" the best way to defend it is not to take it personally (hard though that can be) but to concentrate on improving its quality.
Hi Stavros1, As well as the B roads in Norfolk on Wikipedia, two others have articles B8045 road and B5470 road neither appear to have been under threat from the notability question. --palmiped | Talk 21:07, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I see you are on a Cromer Lifeboats mega-project! It's great to see all this information brought together in one place, well done. I hope you do not mind my pointing out, in case it comes up again, that Middlesbrough - the English one - is spelt thus, and not Middlesborough, which is in Kentucky. I guess given the maritime nature of things this might just come up another time. :) Cheers, DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 11:25, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the note. With regard to the spelling, you're welcome. On shortcuts to places, I do take your point but I am not sure I agree with you in all cases, so we might have to agree to differ. I had this out with myself many years ago over a place in NE England and have pretty much learned to live with it since then! :) Good luck with all your editing. Best wishes, DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 11:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
I see you created the various articles on lifeboats stationed at Cromer. There is a discussion here in which it is suggested that they are not notable enough individually to warrant individual articles. It has also been suggested that they be merged into one article. Your thoughts and input into the discussion would be appreciated. Mjroots (talk) 08:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
The notice above appeared on my talk page. I believe that it was meant for you. Best wishes DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 11:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Stavros, just a note to apologise for my error in posting the above note on the wrong editor's talk page. I'm not sure how I managed it but it was not my intention that you should have found it in the way you did. FWIW, I agree that a combined article would probably not be the best thing. If any of these get nominated for AfD let me know. Mjroots (talk) 18:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
