You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Felix, you can read lots more about this at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Pending changes trial imminent!. Having the new user-right won't mean that you have to do anything more, or anything differently, it just means that you are a trusted editor, and on a few selected articles you can approve edits made by editors who don't have the new right. The sort of articles likely to come under the new scheme will be some biographies of living people which attract a lot of vandalism, and subjects which are controversial, perhaps ones around climate change or terrorism.

Agreed: just confusing "aft" with "after" perhaps. Mistakes are much easier to see in the writing of another hand.--Felix folio secundus 06:27, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Unified accounts

Hiya. I note that you registered your English Wikipedia account on 27 February 2008 - therefore, currently, you do not have a unified account. More recently created accounts are automatically unified - meaning that the same username/password can be used on any of the sister projects.

Have a quick read of m:Help:Unified login#How to unify your accounts, and then, just go to Special:MergeAccount. Once your account is unified, you should be able to use the same username and password on all different language wikis - including Wikipedya Kernewek and Wikipédia francophone.  Chzz  ►  00:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

This account is now unified.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for trying to improve the notable people section on the Stretford article, but could you please undo your changes.

Harrison Ainsworth

I see that you have wandered over to the Ainsworth pages. Malleus Fatuorum‎ and I are planning to fix him. The poor fellow has gone without a page, or anything devoted to his 40+ novels. Thankfully, I will be putting out about 20 or so pages in the next month on the topic. However, it is always nice to have an interested individual as another set of eyes or even as a contributor. Seeing as how you are interested, I hope you will keep an eye out and possibly jump in to lend a hand. I think Septemberish would be the time when the work shall be pushed forth and started. Ottava Rima (talk) 04:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

This may save you some work. Originally, I was going to build that list to have it on DYK but someone decided to move it to mainspace, which caused problems. Ottava Rima (talk) 21:12, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the pointer: I have added all the Ainsworth information I have at the moment. I will leave him alone now and probably have a look occasionally to see when he gets thoroughly revised.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

MANCH (Manchester Museum Herbarium)

The Index Herbariorum figure of 1,000,000 for the University of Manchester herbarium was last updated in 2005. It is therefore a more recent figure than the "several million" of the alternative source you've located (published 1985). --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:42, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

The larger number might reflect the total specimens of the museum, rather than the botanical holdings of the herbarium. It is also possible that the museum includes more than one herbarium (The Museum in Paris does), and it's even possible that a significant fraction of the collection was sent to another herbarium, such as happened for the LA County Museum. Further research is definitely needed. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:07, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

IMDB

Hi, I noticed this edit at List of people from Salford. I thought I'd best let you know that the IMDB is not a reliable source. It's content is added, unchecked, by annoymous voluteers - a bit like Wikipedia, but without citing their sources. I found out the hard way when I used it to verify someone's place of birth and was enlightened about where the material comes from and it's dubious quality at a featured article review. I'll try and find a replacement source at the Salford list. I'm not sure if you've been using it on a large scale, but thought I'd best let you know asap so as not to disappoint. --Jza84 |  Talk  15:17, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Cornwall

"Forrabury"

Hi Felix, thank you for the additional material in the article Forrabury and Minster. There are a couple of typos you may want to go back to and if you can cite Pevsner, please add the citation.

Other similar new or revised Cornwall articles you may wish to look at include: Menabilly, Crugmeer, Lawhitton, St Breock (parish), Barcelona, Cornwall, Kennards House, Banns, Cornwall, Ball, Cornwall, Bake, Cornwall, Albaston, and Four Lanes.

Have you thought of joining WP:Cornwall? Best wishes, Andy F (talk) 09:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi again Felix, thanks for your additions to Four Lanes. Thanks, too, for the citation in the Forrabury article. Howevder, to make the citation visible, one needs to add the template { { reflist } } (but with no spaces) at the foot of the article, usually as the first item in the section 'External links'. Have another look at Forrabury and Minster and you will see the reflink as the last diff. Good work - keep it up. Best wishes, Andy F (talk)

Hi Felix, I notice you've been improving several of the Cornwall parish articles. I have just added coords to Advent, Cornwall and tidied it up but it needs further expansion (like the Forrabury article). If you can help, that'd be good. Best wishes Andy F (talk) 10:32, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

"Felix, you might like to...."

... consider starting new articles about the redlinked Cornish civil parishes in Template:Caradon navigation box and Template:North Cornwall navigation box. I've done a few myself and I know you have been very helpful in filling in detail on the parish articles I've contributed. All that's needed are short articles saying where the parish is, the principal settlements, the church and its coordinates and any notable features. If you have any queries, drop me a line on my talk page. Ta. Best wishes, Andy F (talk) 00:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Duchy of Cornwall

I note that you have added this image to Red-billed Chough. I've removed the forced image size since it overrides user preferences, and trimmed the caption to remove material irrelevant to the article. Could you please add alt text? Since it's an FA, new images should conform to the FA requirements. I'm not convinced about the licensing. If it's the current arms, I suspect it's not allowed for commercial use. I'll get back to you on that. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:01, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

==COA==

File:Cornwall Council.gif is copyright, but is licensed as "fair use" in the Cornwall Council article. That's fine, but it can't be used elsewhere, and certainly not in a bird article. The Duchy image was claimed as PD, which it clearly isn't, and can't be used at all - certainly not in a featured article - that why I got the FAC image assessor, Jappalang (whose comment is above yours) to check. The Becket coat of arms is OK, because it was his individual arms. As a priest he had no descendants, so any copyright has long since lapsed. Many COA images get through on dubious licenses, but have no chance at FA Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:23, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

contd at Jimfbleak jul 26 09

==Images==

Copyright on Wikipedia is a nightmare, not least because GFDL permits commercial use, so you can't upload on an education/Wikipedia only/non-commercial basis. This means that trademarks and logos can only be used under a "fair use" licence in an article closely related to the image. It's unlikely that organisations would give up their rights to the company images. In practice, many images are uploaded in good faith which probably shouldn't be, but in high profile featured articles like the chough page, they are certain to be challenged. I came across, in Northern Bald Ibis, a situation in which a phots of a 4000 year-old Egyptian hieroglyph was free use, but a similar one of a shallow relief was the copyright of the photographer because the object was technically three-dimensional Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:50, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

incidentally, a bot changed your posting of the image on my page to a link, because a talk page is not a fair use!!! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:57, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

It's a pity about Cornwall, because a good deal of work has been done on it, but a combination of under-referencing and its obvious lack of neutrality means that it has no chance at GAN or FAC Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:35, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Cornwall

Track leading to the barytes mine at White Coppice

I work on the Cornish pages quite a lot but there are very few really good ones in WP Cornwall and not many in class B I think. There are a few editors who keep trying to remove "England" when it comes after Cornwall: and the Constitutional history of Cornwall and Duchy of Cornwall articles are a problem as well. I suppose copying Cornish choughs onto another page within Cornwall is ok because they did not disappear afterwards but the County Council arms has more restrictions on use. --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 23:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice: I have not had problems with any of these editors in my own work but of course the PageHistory and PageDiscussion shows up while I am having a go at something. There are only about 20 members and there is a consensus over the use of Cornwall, England or Cornwall, UK /Cornwall, United Kingdom. Then somebody goes and edits a Cornwall page and adds something useful but gets rid of 'England' or changes 'County of Cornwall' to 'Duchy of Cornwall' which does not describe the present situation. I wouldn't want to keep tabs pn pages as some editors to like to do because they upgraded it in the past they want to revert some of the new content. (I have had that happen in some WP Devon articles (I am not a member of that one but the early history of the area is very similar up to the 11th century). As far as I can see Cornwall is getting along quite well but I get reverting sometimes within Devon without explanation from one editor whow supervises the Category:Plymouth. I have no stored images to put in and use and have done nothing in Commons yet but search the odd time. Any advice you can provide? (There is a really good article at Breage which failed the promotion process).--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 21:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Dumnonia

I'm doing some work on a possible merged article covering Dumnonia, Kingdom of.., etc., at User:Ghmyrtle/sandbox6. I'd welcome your thoughts. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I have read through a recent version and it looks good. About Slaughterbridge there is also an idea that the battle of Gafulford was there. I wonder whether the hundred divisions of Cornwall are relevant as they could be interpreted as three petty kingdoms: Trigg, Wivel (under a lost Cornish name) and the western territory which was perhaps divided into four by Athelstan. The main problem of course is the lack of reliable facts and sketchy archaeology.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I've now put it up as the article, so further comments / changes are obviously welcome. I don't know enough about the Cornish hundreds, so if you have relevant info please add it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:55, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

PS- thanks for improving the reference formats - not my strong point! Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:27, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks (copied from my talk page) DuncanHill

Thanks for all you have done, you really have contributed a great deal to Wikipedia, and I for one am profoundly grateful.

Arthur stone

The problem is that we can't just direct our readers to an anonymous posting on a Wikipedia talk page as if it were a reliable source of information. We have several policies speaking specifically against this, including Verifiability and No original research. I don't think the Arthurian legend is any harder to deal with than any other area, one just has to make sure to use good sources and attribute their claims correctly.--Cúchullain ^t/c 16:04, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

WP Cornwall / Admin

I have now seen what happened to Kodaly's eLinks and the article as a whole looks better: when I first saw it there were other problems as well. Even good articles can get better if studied from different viewpoints and modified a bit: perhaps then it will get noticed and upgraded some more. In Jan 2009 someone made an entry saying he was a leading 20th century composer and even now it is fairly modest as such articles go. Many of the projects seem to be under-resourced and they cannot work on everything all at once. Considered as a whole Cornwall articles are of a higher standard than much of the what is there for Devon: of course Exmoor, Dartmoor, Exeter, Plymouth and Torbay get impressive coverage but the area and population is greater for Devon. Cornwall tends to have places which are interesting for aspects which general standards do not fit very well. I am trying to do less editing for a while. It is not a good thing just carrying on as if it has to been done because it was not quite perfect. There are lots of things I do not understand about this project: you would think that the members' user pages would have some level of protection from other users in the way that controversial political figures do, perhaps at a higher level than this. I am not sure how important it is to have Sir John Maclean upgraded (obviously including him in Blisland is not theoretically correct but it does something more than make enquirers give up and do a WWW search. This account and the ones in DNB may be the only ones there are. (From here I can only get Oxford DNB Index entries not the full text as many other editors must have.)--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I can email ODNB articles to you if you like, as I have full online access with my library card, just ask! I agree that many of the wikiprojects are under-resourced - it's hard to know how to improve this at the moment. Cornwall does benefit from both a strong county identity and its major rôle in Britain's industrial development. It attracts the local historians, industrial historians, geologists and Celticists, so there is a wider range of interests and expertise applied to it than to some other places. DuncanHill (talk) 11:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Cornish Choughs

This would make a good stand-alone article, there's lots of material, but for the main article I had to leave much of it out to maintain balance. You might get away with a fair use of the council arms to illustrate the article. If there are persistent offenders edit-warring on Cornish articles, let me know. As an uninvolved admin, I am quite prepared to warn or block editors, or protect pages as appropriate Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, like I said, you don't have to tolerate unexplained reversions. I assume you mean Breage, Cornwall. It's under-referenced, rather short, no history and half of it's about Ashton. If you are aiming to upgrade any particular page to GA, or work up Cornish Chough, I'll do what I can to advise. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

It is not #Breage# the one it should be is #St Burian# (of course Breage is nowhere near good). St Burian was a very strong candidate from the record of the process but what I am doing is very diverse, rather than take over North Cornwall and climb the ladder towards rated articles. Another thing or things was going wrong with #Zoltan Kodaly# that got rv for Vandalism I DoNotKnow How. It looked like a real editor behaving like a #Bot# I'll just stay away from the Plymouth area and not add anything constructive to it from now on.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 06:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

St Buryans had a fairly tough GA assessment, but should copyedited and submitted again, it's obviously thereabouts. I think the rollback was probably due to the admin seeing your rather strange "zzzzzz" edit summary and assuming vandalism without checking the edit - can't see any other reason Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:52, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Comments re Kodaly, Plymouth, and Tintagel

The composer article seems fine now. Plymouth is good enough for "good article", but actually failed at the much higher standard of FA.

I looked at Tintagel and amended the headings and images. I don't think the image you have chosen is suitable, since it also shows Alpine Chough, which doesn't occur in the UK. Any of the images at Red-billed Chough would be OK, they are all correctly licensed for use on Wikipedia. Image:Eucharisticrenewalphoto.jpg is not correctly licensed. The person releasing it as public domain does not have the same name as the artist, and presumably is not the holder of the copyright. If the uploader photographed the painting, he should say so and use the {{PD-Art}} tag Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Emigration to Wales

There was some emigration of Cornish miners to South Wales. Robert Morton Nance is a notable example of one born in Wales to Cornish parents.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 16:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Do we have a source? Evidence of the size of migration? --Jza84 |  Talk  19:50, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

I do not know of a source: Hamilton Jenkin's The Cornish Miner would be a place to look but I do have the book. The reliance of Cornwall on Wales for the smelting of ores is certainly documented.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:08, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

This shows that there are two associations of Welsh Cornish people: http://www.cornwall-online.co.uk/associat.htm--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm just concerned that we need only mention regions that have "significant" migrant populations. No doubt there are Cornish people in India and Scotland, but I don't know how large or notable that may be in terms of reporting on the article. --Jza84 |  Talk  16:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

I did mean to say "do not have the book": I would not put anything in now, I was following up the discussion re Tim Saunders above.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 21:14, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Recent discussion on Cornwall

The previous consensus seemed the best compromise to me but it is always liable to be disputed by some who think like British Watcher. No-one will ever know how many people born in Cornwall or resident in Cornwall think of themselves as Cornish, English or British or partly one and partly another. Even though I was born in Cornwall I do not think of myself as Cornish in the way people whose whole ancestry is Cornish (mine being from England). The new Cornish people article seems to have been a success so far.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:55, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I think the current wording of the para under discussion is a long way from perfect - but my suggestions to improve it just seem to lead to comments from the usual suspects that would leave it even worse than it is now. So, the "compromise" is to leave it as it is, I suppose.... Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:43, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Alison Treganning

To Moonraker2: Thank you for your response: it looks as if the original creation of this as an article was misguided. I think your work on offical records proves at least that whatever was in circulation in 2006 has at the least been misrepresented. "Fluent Cornish" is a vague claim: without other speakers the extent of her knowledge is impossible to estimate even if there was such a person. I am not sure what should happen to the article history and the Talk page for it.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 20:57, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, I suppose, Alison Treganning would be unlikely to survive an AfD, but for now I see no harm in leaving the redirect (with page history) and the Talk page where they are. If both were deleted, then perhaps the contents of the Talk page could be moved somewhere else. Moonraker2 (talk) 21:27, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Mining in Cornwall and Devon

Hi Felix, there are a couple of broken refnames in the table of mine railways in Mining in Cornwall and Devon - they have refnames but no associated actual reference. Best wishes, DuncanHill (talk) 00:53, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

The guide to referencing is at WP:CITE - I have an addition to my editing toolbar which makes it a lot easier, I'll try to find where I got it and let you know how to add it. I used to practice references in my sandbox till I got used to them.

If you let me know which article the table came from I could have a look and try to fix the refs for you if you like. DuncanHill (talk) 18:00, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

The toolbar extension is documented at User:Mr.Z-man/refToolbar - you can add it as a gadget through the "my preferences" link at the top of any page when you are logged in. I find it incredibly helpful. DuncanHill (talk) 18:05, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Kings of Cornwall (Early British Kingdoms)

Hey Felix, per Dougweller's request I have responded to your question at his talk page here.--Cúchullain ^t/c 13:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

You have said that "Early British Kingdoms" is not a reliable source: what would you recommend should used instead? Would printed books referring to saints and kings be generally more reliable? --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 17:19, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Felix. Doug has asked me to consider your question. There have been several discussions about David Nash Ford's Early British Kingdoms site and similar ones, (here, here, and especially here) and the general consensus has been that they are not reliable sources. Among the problems with "EBK" are that the author(s?) does not indicate where material in the articles is coming from. As such material taken from historical sources is syncretized with stuff taken from literature or folklore and presented as if it were all true. I would not say that printed books are inherently any better; as with anything you really have judge whether they're "reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". Depending on what you're writing about, John Edward Lloyd's History of Wales, John Davies' A History of Wales, and John Koch's Celtic Encyclopedia are good sources, and will include some good stuff on early Cornish history.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:56, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for trying on these problems. Tables like that make it more difficult for many users to keep them up-to-date. Perhaps copying the text for the source article into MS Word would make a word search possible on the refname. Thank you.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Felix, I've tried to add the details to the table, but can't make it work properly. I'm not terribly good at tables like that, you might be better of asking at the Help desk or Village pump.

As for the references in the Mining Article, I'll try again but unfortunately the refnames used are rather obscure, and the only way I can think of to find them is to read through the whole of the originating article (I think it was the Industrial railways one) in the edit box until I can find them.

Bodrean

Hi Felix, I noticed you redirected the article on Bodream Manor to St Erme where it was relegated to a passing down-page mention. Bodrean is notable enough to warrant its own article – certainly as notable as many places in the List_of_places_in_Cornwall. If we started merging them all it would undermine the WP:Cornwall intent to document the county in detail. There may be interesting material to add to the Bodrean article by an editor in future so the page should retain its independent existence. Andy F (talk) 10:51, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Also, I will add to the article some info about neighbouring Frogmore and its bridge across the Trevella Stream then create a new page Frogmore as a redir to Bodrean Andy F (talk) 11:42, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

OK Felix, I've added the info on Frogmore, given a grid ref and uploaded and placed a photo. I've created a new page Frogmore, Cornwall as a redir. Andy F (talk) 12:14, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Canworthy Water

Hi Felix, just to let you know that the page you created at Canworthy Water as a redirect to Warbstow now is an article about Canworthy Water in its own right.

Parishes on The Lizard

Hi Felix, hope all is well with you. I notice that you and I have coincidentally been working on parishes on (or near) The Lizard. I have done a sketch map and list of the parishes on the peninsula – these are intended to augment the article The Lizard.

Before my text and map go into the article, I wonder if you would be so kind as to cast your expert eye over the work please. I have roughed it out in my sandbox here User:Andy_F/Sandbox#Civil_parishes_on_The_Lizard. Please check my text and the map (you can click it to enlarge it}.

Please leave any comments (or just an 'OK') on my talk page. Many thanks, best wishes Andy F (talk) 08:46, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Lizard parishes:- Hello, I hope you do not object to the editing, like everything else here it can be reverted. I think St Keverne is east of Landewednack so the order changes. It looks to me like two rows of areas going west to east. The map looks good though I do not know the detail of the civil parish boundaries (they will probably be different in some ways from the historic parishes which began to be modified in the 19th century). A map of the ecclesiastical parishes in 1877 appears at the end of the Cornish Church Guide. 'Manaccan' is misspelled on the map. (I also noted at Slaughterbridge that the map had 'Tregue' while the article has 'Treague'. I do not know whether this can be changed.) Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:12, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Tresco

Hi Felix, I followed the links from the map and found it is one of a series by User:Bohemian Arcade. You can find them at the bottom of his user page. I don't want to just weigh in and start adapting his maps so I suggest that you leave him a message suggesting he add major settlements to all his maps. Let me know if you do and I'll add my sixpen'th. Andy F (talk) 06:35, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi again, Felix, just a note to let you know I've converted your redirect at Malpas, Cornwall into a new article.

Also, I just tidied-up the Manaccan parish article – it seems a bit bald to me so maybe you can add a bit more info on the parish? Best wishes, Andy F (talk) 10:37, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

On a similar tack, the article on Marhamchurch also seems a bit sketchy. I've tidied it up and added a photo – do you want to have a look from the parish point of view? Andy F (talk) 18:04, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Ruthvoes

Hi Felix, I've only just noticed that (some while back) you substituted a redirect to St Columb Major for an existing article on Ruthvoes.

I am reverting it to the stand-alone article (which I will improve shortly). Let me explain my reasoning (the points apply to other Cornwall-related redirects too).

Firstly, as a generality, Wikipedia's coverage of Cornwall is better served if villages, even small ones, have discrete articles. Obviously sometimes this is inapropriate – for instance, the two adjoining farmstead hamlets of Higher Lank and Lower Lank are united in the article Lank, Cornwall.

Such exceptions aside, distinct settlements which are marked on the OS maps meet the Wikipedia:Notability criteria. This has been discussed in WP:Cornwall (and in other places) at various times.

Also, where no article exists for a place, there is sometimes a case for a redirection to an appropriate article. But where an article exists already, even as a stub, there needs to be a good reason for replacing it with a redirect.

Secondly, it is important that readers are not left 'in the air' by a redirect. That means adhering to the principle of least astonishment (see this item). Readers need to know they have arrived at the correct page to read about the subject they searched for. So unless there's a blindingly obvious connection (alternative title spelling for instance) the subject of the redirection should appear (preferably in bold) in the lead or second paragraph. In the case of Ruthvoes, that is not so: the first mention is well down the page in the section on rivers – then there are a couple more mentions, none in bold.

I accept, of course, that if the reader has followed a redirect it will be indicated at the top of the page – but that in itself offers no explanation and does not satisfy principle of least astonishment.

On a slightly different tack, even though Ruthvoes is in the parish of St Columb, it's actually much nearer to Indian Queens so it could be argued that it could just have easily redirected there.

To sum up, the fewer redirects the better; improving or expanding a stub is preferred to converting it to a redirect, and in those few cases where a redirect is necessary, the principle of least astonishment should be followed.

The foregoing is explained in detail in the article Wikipedia:Redirect.

All the best as always, Andy F (talk) 19:15, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi again Felix, thanks for your reply to my talk page. I take your points and agree with you. I also feel quite strongly that Seven Bays needs attention and it is on my 'to do' list – if you want to edit it as well, so much the better. Hope your computer issues get sorted. Best wishes, Andy F (talk) 07:47, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Mithian and Mount Hawke

Hi Felix, just a quick courtesy note to let you know I have replaced the redirect Mithian with an article on the village. At the same time I moved the article Mount Hawke and Mithians back to Mount Hawke. Best wishes, Andy F (talk) 23:10, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Mount Hawke and Mithian:- Hello, I have been sorted out as far as computing problems go; there is a way round what made it seize up recently. I have been trying to remember about the time when some of those redirects were created; it was impossible to be familiar with the regulations in detail and no-one complained about them at the time. I was also reluctant to create short articles because they need very good references to avoid concerns about notability and quality. At least whatever account I inserted would be subject to word searching and perhaps other editorial work would follow from that. I was also working from sources which tend to group coverage at the parish level and cover a period pf many hundred years when the distribution of settlements was very different from that of the present day. However the articles are addressing potentially a diverse range of readers so they need balance as well. If it was nine-tenths history and one tenth current information it would still be at the stub level. I see you are making good use of Genuki in some of these new articles (under Crowan you took it out of the External links though, not sure why). Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Felix, thanks for your further message about Mount Hawke on my talk page. I'm glad to hear your computer is sorted.

I certainly wasn't complaining about the redirects, just pointing out the principle of least astonishment. When you say that your sources are slanted towards the parish level over hundreds of years, I think that is a great strength – certainly I value your expertise in that area. I take your point that if an article is mostly historical it might not meet the needs of the more general reader but I think the history information is key to any article about a town or village or man-influenced landscape. So thank you for the very good work that you do.

Regarding Genuki, I do not usually include its pages as an external link if I have used it (with a link) in a reference. With 'external Links' I tend to follow WP:ELNO and err towards fewer rather than more links. Best wishes, Andy F (talk) 20:24, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

De Lank River map (Crowdy)

Hi Felix:

One of your maps on the Bodmin Moor page has the spelling "Cowdy"; hope you can change it. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus

Thanks for pointing that out – well spotted. I had a look and realised that the map has been superceded by my later one of the R Camel and tributaries. So, in the context of Bodmin Moor, the fourth map is superfluous and I've removed it. The only other place that the mis-spelt map appears was in the article De Lank River and even there it was not as informative as the later map so I replaced it. That left it linked to no pages so I have nominated it for deletion at Commons. All the best, Andy F (talk) 13:02, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Bojewyan

Hi Felix, hope you are well. I see you've been busy - good work!

Two small points if I may. Firstly, you marked the article on Bojewyan as {{unreferenced}} . In fact it has a reference, the OS map. So I've removed the tag. The more apposite tag in such cases would be {{refimprove|date=month year}}. But to be honest in these very short stubs it is not really appropriate because if there's a map ref to verify the location then no other refs are to be found. By the way, it's helpful to add the date (separated by a pipe) to tags.

The other issue is postcodes. The District is the smaller unit (such as TR19) and the Area is the larger (such as TR): see List of postcode areas in the United Kingdom and List of postcode districts in the United Kingdom.

Best wishes Andy F (talk) 11:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for the advice. The postcode error is just carelessness as I filled in the wrong one first. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:02, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Domesday in Cornwall

Hi Felix, thank you very much for the info on my talk page - most useful.

Yes, you are right to suspect I've been on holiday. Two holidays, in fact! I spent a week in Northumberland (mostly birdwatching including boat trips to the Farne Islands). I also went to a secondhand bookshop in Northumberland (Barter Books in Alnwick) and managed to find a pristine Cornwall Pevsner (second edition) which has made fascinating reading. Much of the time I walked on the coastal paths and beaches.

After that I caught up with work for a few days before chucking my tent in the car, whistling up the dog then heading down to Cornwall for a long weekend. I spent a few hours each day on the beach (Polzeath, Harlyn, Constantine) but most of the time I was walking the SW Coast Path. I did Porthcothan to Constantine one afternoon, Constantine to Harlyn round Trevose the next morning, and also walked to The Rumps from Port Quinn. I adore north Cornwall! Because I was camping I left the Nikon at home (not much security in a tent) but will be back in Cornwall in August and hope to photograph some more churches.

Cornwall edits

Hi, I can't see a signing in your Cornwall talk page edits - is that because they are not signed, or do you have a way of generating a signing that doesn't link back to you? If the latter, why do you do that out of interest? It's a bit strange... Jamesinderbyshire (talk) 06:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Tremenheere, and Ludgvan

FYI, T[r]emenheere means "Standing Stone Farm" (Tre = place/farm, Menhir = standing stone) - I am sure that it should be some reference book somewhere, but the reason I know it to be true is because my landlord told me. I lived at that farm between 1992 and 1997, together with the woman who is now my wife, and I knew the woods and fields found in the reference very well.

Hello. I'm sorry if it seemed like I changed the ref in a huff, I just noticed the change and I've done quite a bit of work on the article so wanted all the refs on the page to follow the same style, even the book ref. That's a reccomendation from a wikiproject though, although I know the page isn't in line for any promotions but I have found when using the simple version, on a GA and FA nom, ref check, the nominators always ask for it to be rectified for verifaction for other who do not know about book search via google.

I think you may be right. I read Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1300-1541: volume 9: Exeter diocese, Archdeacons of Cornwall and there were five candidates between 1349 and 1371 (de Harewell, de Cusantia, David, de Newton, and de Neville), but it is unclear who held the archdeaconry and those who tried to get possession of it. -- Scrivener-uki (talk) 17:31, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Tremaen

I appreciate your desire to ensure Wikipedia has appropriate references, but TBH I'm not convinced of the value of the noref tags you added to the Tremaen article. It's only a paragraph and a line, and has a reference to where I found all that. Could I ask you either to find more material yourself or delete the tag anyway? It looks daft having a tag almost as large as the article. --Phil Holmes (talk) 21:08, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Leics "Barton in the Beans"

Hi your edit... Barton is one of many places in England with this name: both this Barton and that in Nottinghamshire were once known as "Barton-in-Fabis" but that is no longer used for the Leicester Barton

The village of Barton in Fabis in Nottinghamshire was once known as Barton in the Beans (Faba being Latin for 'bean' abl. plur. 'fabis') appears to contradict itself. Regards Clevs (Talk) 00:12, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

"Speedy deletion of Thomas Boothby of Tooley"

A tag has been placed on Thomas Boothby of Tooley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. T-95 (talk) 14:39, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

This article was speedily deleted as it was completely unsourced and did not demonstrate the notability of the subject. If you think you can create an article that is suitable on this subject, you can request the deleting admin or another admin such as myself copy the text back into your userspace so you can work on it. It would appear though that the individual would not meet the guidelines for inclusion for biographies and would not survive as a stand alone article as a result.

Keble College

I noticed your Keble userbox, and wondered whether you might be able to help. I've started work on a couple of Keble-related lists (Honorary Fellows and alumni) to match some similar Jesus College lists that I've done. Have you kept back issues of the Keble Record? I have a feeling that there are going to be some details where the internet just won't do, and where old-fashioned paper sources will be needed. I've got a second-hand copy of the 1970 Centenary Register, so I should be OK up to that point, but details for later students / dates of election to a Hon Fellowship (for example) may be a problem. Any help you might be able to give would be fantastic. (I don't need anything right at the moment; it's just a general query for now). Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 12:48, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I have got all the issues of the Record from the time I was at Keble i.e. 1964 onwards so would be able to help when you do start work.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 14:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Excellent! I wonder whether at some point in the next few months I could ask you to have a hunt for the following pieces of information, for the Honorary Fellows list (HFs):

• When did Lodwrick Cook get his HF, and why? I assume it was for donations to the college, but can't find anything online to confirm. At a guess, 1992 or 1993.
  • ARCO was a huge benefactor
    • Lodwrick M. Cook, chief executive of ARCO, according to The Record 1993.
• Same questions for Ghillean Prance. At a guess, 1992 or 1993, for donations.
  • Ghillean Tolmie Prance, President Ronald Reagan, Stephen Desmond Watkins, Bryan Edgar Magee: all appear for the first time in The Record 1994
• Same questions for Victoria de Breyne. At a guess, it was 2001 or 2002, for donations to the college
  • Certainly André Felix de Breyne gave large amounts during his lifetime
  • Victoria Benz was his 2nd wife (for 25 years) and outlived him; col. portrait of André and Victoria de Breyne in The Record 1994. Victoria appointed Hon Fellow from May 2002 according to The Record 2002; listed later as Victoria Grace de Breyne (still in list 2008).
• Same questions for James Martin. At a guess, 2003 to 2005, for donations.
  • James Thomas Martin first appears as an Hon Fellow in 2005 (no obvious reason)
• When did Howard Nixon get it? He hadn't got it by 1970 and he died in 1983, if that helps.
  • Granted in Dec 1980 according to his obituary notice in The Record 1983, p. 22-23
• Who is Richard Thornton, and why was he given an HF (at a guess, in the mid-80s)?
  • Richard Chicheley Thornton first appears as an Hon Fellow in The Record 1987
• Similarly, who is Stephen Watkins, and why was he given an HF (at a guess, in about 1992 or 1993)?
  • See above, Prance
• Similarly, who is George Robinson, and why was he given an HF in 2002?
  • First listed as Hon Fellow in The Record 2003: George Robinson, BA (no obvious reason); appears later as George Edward Silvanus Robinson http://www.rateitall.com/i-2063053-george-edward-silvanus-robinson.aspx
• When was David Wilson, Baron Wilson of Tillyorn given his HF? At a guess, late 80s.
  • Lord Wilson first appears as an Hon Fellow in The Record 1987
• Does the Record say why John Betjeman was given an HF in 1974?
  • This is before a complete list of all Fellows is printed: that was the time of the Centenary Appeal and he appears as one of 13 "Friends" in an appeal leaflet. His role within the Victorian Society and his writings on architecture must have been the reasons for an Hon Fellowship. 1975 issue notes that Betjeman, an Hon Fellow has been given an Hon D.Litt. by the University of Dublin.
• Does the Record say why Ronald Reagan was given an HF in 1994? Seems a surprising choice!
  • No mention of why he was chosen; see above, Prance. The Record 2004 prints a half-page obituary notice: Reagan visited Keble in 1992 and was principal guest at a lunch also attended by Lord Jenkins, Chancellor of the University; Hon Fellow from 1994.
• Did the Record print an obituary for Andre de Breyne? He looks as though he should be notable, but I can't find much about him. Any information about his wife/widow Victoria?
  • Probably widow and very aged; certainly appears in Record
    • Obituary of de Breyne in The Record 1998, pp. 29-31 & port. as fp. A Belgian but in Britain since 1914: had a leading role in Standard Industrial Trust Ltd. 1st wife Catherine d. 1971, no children. Notable art collector.
• Did the Record print an obituary for Alfred Hans von Engel (died 1992)? Again, he looks notable, but difficult to find out details for.
  • Funeral address for him (he died 2 October 1991) in The Record 1992 gives 1980 as the date of his Hon Fellowship. Retrospective tribute by Raoul Franklin in The Record 2002, pp. 9-11, explains his family background, etc. (earlier listings for him as Fellow have: Alfred Hans Engel de Janosi)

There is of course absolutely no rush for any of this information, and any help you can give would be very gratefully received. For the "when and why" info, all I'd need in addition to the info is the details of the Record in question: year, page, section title and (if given) author. For the "who is / obituary" questions, if there's enough to make a stab at an article, I'll gladly have a go if you can give me the material (do you have a scanner?) The Featured List process likes lists to have articles rather than redlinks, but if the people in question aren't "notable" in the Wikipedia sense, so be it. Hope this all makes sense. Regards, and best wishes, Bencherlite^Talk 20:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. Nixon is in Who Was Who but neither that nor his obituary in The Times gives the date of his HF. Look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

Many thanks for your help with some references a few months ago. I've now finished the list, more-or-less, and moved it to main space.

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps before we get to FLC, you can help with a few minor missing things that I'm sure will be noted by reviewers. Do you have the page number and section title (e.g. "Letter from the Warden", "(List of) Honorary Fellows") mentioning the award of Hon Fellowship to:

• David Wilson, Baron Wilson of Tillyorn, from the 1987 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 9

• Lodwrick Cook, from the 1993 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 11

• Ghillean Prance, from the 1994 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 75

• Desmond Watkins, from the 1994 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 75

• Victoria de Breyne, from the 2002 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 67

• Ronald Reagan, from the 2004 Record

College elections and appointments, 1994, on p. 75

The life of the College, 2004; "Ronald Reagan, Honorary GCB" on p 15

• James Martin, from the 2005 Record

he appears as last in the list of HFs on p. 74 but is not listed under College elections and appointments

If you give me the details, I can add them into the list. Many thanks, Bencherlite^Talk 13:50, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

"Tattoo image placement"

I reverted your recent change to Tattoo. To my mind, the image of a mummified tattoo makes much more sense within the article flow next to the history section of the article. That introduces a discussion of "ancient" tattooing, and the Scythian examples seems to illustrate that. I don't feel passionately about the placement, but please discuss on Talk:Tattoo why you think the rearrangement would be an improvement to see if there is any agreement from other editors).

Sorry my bad there as I use Hungarian keyboard and totally cocked it up, doing English. So my bad there.

What I was trying to say is that in Hungary one gets married and has to conduct the ceremony in civil law before or after the ceremony, compared to e.g. Chruch of england when th service is enacted in law and one does not need another service. How best to put this? I am not sure about the Church in Wales or the Church of Scotland (the Kirk), and I imagine in the US it varies from state to state.

I checked this article over with my Hungarian mssus and she reckons it is better than the Hungarian one. The original contributor is a professional and added it for himself. I removed that attribution, cos it smacks of WP:PROMO. He aded it back actually after I edited it, he placed is name again after the little poem, which Iput into English ryhme and not very well. So if it is anybody's it is mine, not his. But we don't do that on wikipedia,it is everybody's.

OK, yesterday was the day on which we give and take presents in Germany. I wish you a Happy Christmas and happy and good new Year. --Soenke Rahn (talk) 01:13, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Packaging and Labeling

You had added Packaging and labeling to the business project. That is fine: packaging has some relationship to business, and several other major topics too. My question is why you judged this article to be of only a Start class and of Low importance. Please justify these low rating on what I consider to be a relatively good article. Rlsheehan (talk) 16:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. Your rating of Start implies that this article has just started and needs (in your opinion) much work to improve. Please explain. I am not aware of your checklist and your list of specific shortcomings of the article. Please be specific about the areas that you believe need work - - - better yet, please provide constructive edits for others to consider. Rlsheehan (talk) 21:54, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(1) Hello, I have had another look at it and think I would rate it at C. Most of my work is with history, language, etc. Possibly it could be given a B rating once it had been checked off against the B class checklist.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 18:58, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(2) I think you have a diferent idea about how assessment can be done: articles in different projects do not have to be assessed in a particular way, e.g. WP:Military History has stricter procedures than most projects. This is some information about making sure that B class is the right rating Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/B-class FAQ but as a non-member of WP:Business I am not familiar with the way things are done there. You can just assess it again at a higher level of class and/or importance.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 08:47, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Peter Fox

[Message on Bencherlite\Talk]

Thanks for your message. I can email you a copy of his entry in Who's Who if you like. Given the status of the librarians, I don't see why a list of them shouldn't be spun out of the CUL article to match the Featured List Bodley's Librarian. Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 14:56, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your offer of Who's Who details. I decided to added the Peter Fox article and see what happens next as I believe the information to be valid even though Latin WP is not allowed as a reliable source here. In depth coverage of the long series of CUL librarians would be a worthwhile project for somebody but I won't be doing it. I have just done two: F. W. Ratcliffe, and now Peter Fox. The Bodleian now has a very good set of articles. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 05:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Peter Fox (librarian). Our verifiability policy requires that all content be cited to a reliable source. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Evgeny Kovtun

Hello Felix, I hope that you Eastern was well. (-: I have seen that you have edited: Evgeny Kovtun On the German Wikipedia this article was erased five times, because a user placed the article again an again. Compare: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Qualit%C3%A4tssicherung/22._April_2010 In the last time I have made a lot of articles about Lutherfilms. Compare: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutherfilm with friendly greetings Sönke --Soenke Rahn (talk) 18:31, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for your message. Easter seems a long time ago and in England we are not having much good spring weather (much colder than usual). Evgeny Kovtun does not look like someone who really needs to have an article but there must be others who want to have him included. It is interesting to do a little with various types of articles; I have not done much writing of new articles, that is more difficult than improving existing ones. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 19:13, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Shipwrecks

Thanks for expanding various lists of shipwrecks. Could you please use flags to identify the registry of the various vessels in accordance with other entries. Mjroots (talk) 10:52, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Scillonian

Commons cats can be something of a mystery. If there's a picture of a different ship in the Scillonian III article, it should be removed. It may be benificial to edit the file on Commons to correct the info presented there, and recat as necessary. Mjroots (talk) 18:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Shipwrecks lists

Re the flags, {{Navy}}. {{Flag}} and {{Flagcountry}} come in useful here. The latter is needed for UK registered ships before 1922 - {{flagcountry|UKGBI|civil}} produces United Kingdom, which is not the same as United Kingdom (click on each link to see why). Mjroots (talk) 18:13, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Re the flags, it takes time to learn them. Only today did I learn that the correct flag for Japanese merchant vessels between 1945 and 1952 is Japan and not Japan! Mjroots (talk) 19:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Luther Films and so on

Today, the sun seems to be away, one time again. Sometimes rain. Juhu! It's my birthday. (-: Presents: 95 Thesen (Faksimile) (95 theses facsimile), de:Königs Erläuterungen (Königs Explanations for Literature)) ... Some Lutherfilm articles are existing today in the English Wikipedia: Luther (1928 film), Luther (1973 film), Luther (2003 film), Martin Luther (1953 film), Martin Luther, Heretic (1983 film) and the Category:Films about Martin Luther. I used some articles of them for creating the German article. So I suppose that it will be not a stub-project. Ok, I don't know how big should be the content section to the German films, not existing an English film version, but I suppose the thing/this project would be a nice idea. The first step should be the translation of the German article: de:Lutherfilm under the entry: Lutherfilm or Luther in Films??? and so on. To Evgeny Kovtun, yes I know the time, this is a good reason, so I am not motivated, too. Possibly later ... Yes, the German-England-football-teams-meeting. --- This World Cup season, I took no time in it, but possibly today. (-: I will see. By the way, a little bit crazy, the USA is in the next round. Today I will make some German articles again. Because I will be the first to filling the lack. -- I was disorganised two or three days, too.

Expand Magyar

Dear Felix, I noticed with [this edit] you had the edit summary "Expand Magyar". Which is odd, because the template you put on there said {{Expand Hungarian}}.

My own view as an Englishman is that Hungarian is the language and Magyar is the race. That seems to be shared by my Hungarian missus. Though we are well aware others have different views.

But either put an {{Expand Magyar}} tag on the article or put in the ES "Expand Hungarian". There's no need to prevaricate about the bush.

Best wishes Si Trew (talk) 23:39, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for your comments on the old editing. Expand Hungarian would have been better as an edit summary, but I am not so careful about those as when working on the content of the articles. I am glad to see some useful content has been collected from the Hungarian WP. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 06:18, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

No worries. I expect you didn't appreciate the difference – like almost everyone else on the planet including my Hungarian missus (User:Monkap). One editor at the moment are being rather insistent on e.g. the Hungary article that the language is Magyar language not Hungarian language since, er, the Hungarian for "Hungarian" is "magyar", and the first link redirects to the second, which says so, and whatever.... the former. I don't ever bother to edit that article since it is basically the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 (articles on which Monkap and I have been slowly translating and pulling together over the last six momths) all over again.

I just suggest you stick to saying "Hungarian" it is amazing how quickly these things can turn into turf wars, but do what you will, either term is fine with me.

A Penguin copy of Mikes' How to be an Alien was my first present to my missus. She was quite impressed I knew him at all, and she, living in England now, finds every word of it to be true. I usually have three or four copies so that I can give them to any foreign guest – unfortunately this one stuck!

Best wishes and happy editing. I do appreciate your good work. Si Trew (talk) 07:18, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps I should add that I know Latin but not Hungarian. Thank you for all your good work. (and why not primus? or even rex?) Si Trew (talk) 10:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello again, Thank you for the compliments. I find that it is hard to focus on one or two fields now but in the beginning most of what I did was related to Cornwall or the Manchester district since I have lived in both. My Latin is not very good anymore as my study of it happened about 45 years ago so I have contributed very little on Latin WP. I have done a little towards translating from French into English but that is hard going since I have used it so little since leaving school. "Felix Folio" was the author of a book about Manchester in the 19th century and choosing a Latin name made sense as it was once the scholarly language of Europe and anonymity is what I prefer. Like you I know virtually no Hungarian. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

I just use my real name because I am hopeless at remembering any other; I even forget that sometimes. The only trouble, if you can even call it that, is when editing military history articles as part of translating from French ot Hungarian because there's a military historian at Sandhurst called Simon Trew; his expertise is the Bosnians I think.

I studied at Manchester but did not learn my Latin there, more how to cook chips properly.

My very best wishes. The compliments are deserved. When I see your name on an article I know it has been thoughtfully edited, even if I disagree with the edit. It's kinda a mark of quality for it to have your stamp on it. I know WP is not perfect and not finished, I hope the contributions I make go towards making it a little better.

William Jacques

You rated this article as "Start class". I wrote it so I might be just a little biased, but "Start class" is for "an article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources." The article is completely verified, using twelve reliable sources, so I fail to see how "lacks adequate reliable sources" is true. Is the quality of prose really "distinctly unencyclopedic"? Is the MOS compliance "non-existent"? This is what "Start class" means! I do not think your rating of the article follows the guidelines. Fences&Windows 00:07, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

OAI-PMH and OAI-ORE

Thanks for your improvements to OAI-PMH! I'm not really familiar with the library rankings, but Low seems odd. OAI-PMH and OAI-ORE are important in digital librarianship, but probably not well-known to the everyday (non-digital) librarian. I'd suggest mid-importance, based on comparing Category:Low-importance_Libraries_articles and Category:Mid-importance_Libraries_articles, but since I don't generally rate these, I'll wait to see what you think. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 17:41, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your message: I have increased the rating. WP Libraries Assessment is not a very active department but I have been doing quite a few.

WikiProject Biography rating

Hi. Concerning this edit of yours I would like to inform you that WikiProject Biography doesn't rate pages anymore. This is only done by the various work groups and musician work group has already put a rating in this page. -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:21, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Gottfried van Swieten

"C" means:

• The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or
• contains a lot of irrelevant material.
• The article should have some references to reliable sources,
• but may still have significant issues or
• require substantial cleanup.

Let me know which of these apply and I could work on it. Thanks very much, Opus33 (talk) 00:19, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Now I have had another look I think a more appropriate rating for the article would be 'B'.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:10, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Some independent input?

Hi, I've noticed that you've been done a lot of great work for WikiProject Libraries recently. I wondered if I could get you to give me some feedback on a pair of library related articles I've recently cleaned up. They've been the subject of apparent COI edits and some apparent trolling for most of their existence so there never really has been anything to revert back to. The pages are Koha (software) and LibLime. Any kind of feedback would be more than welcome. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

NRHP importance assessment

Hi, Felix. I've noticed you assessing the importance of articles under the scope of {{WikiProject National Register of Historic Places}} recently. While this is very helpful, I don't agree with your importance ratings all of the time. While many wikiprojects have pretty subjective importance scales, WP:NRHP has a somewhat more strict one. If a site is a National Historic Landmark (NHL), it automatically receives a high importance rating. If a site is a local landmark as well as being listed on the NRHP, it may receive a Mid importance rating or may be low importance. The whole criteria list is at the above link, so if you are to continue rating articles in this project, I think maybe you should look over it a bit. I welcome your help with open arms, but placing an incorrect importance rating (especially on NHLs) causes more harm than good and makes others have to double check everything that has already been rated. NRHP project members have recently begun going through the 30K+ articles in the project's scope to check/update their assessment ratings based on our new scale, so having to go through everything more than once is a bit of a pain. I don't mean to reprimand you, but it would be helpful to give these articles the correct rating under that scale. If you don't want to delve into the inner workings of the project, though, you may simply leave the NRHP article unassessed, and someone in the project will eventually get around to it. Thanks for understanding, and most of all thanks for the help! --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 22:28, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for your advice about the assessment in that project. I have been working on assessing articles for WikiProject Libraries and added ratings for some other projects at the same time. I am sorry if this is a problem in the case of historic sites and will leave these unassessed in future.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:34, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Marriage vows

Felxis Secundus (promoted to primus) can you have a look at Marriage Vows

The second section on RC vows trails off at the end. What would b e your opinion. It is worse than useless if it says nothing and leads someone up the garden path, I would cut the section, but that is just my first stab opinion.

I looked at it cos I am engaged to be wed on 6 August but I will be by the Book of Common Prayer. Not cos I am particularly Christian but I just thought that after my Hungarian family have got used to simple English I would plight them my troth.

My sincere regards.

Si Trew (talk) 10:35, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

City of Westminster College

Hi. I note that you've put an extra picture on City of Westminster College. I've checked at the college (I'm freelance press officer Libby Norman) and our understanding is that this building was used by Westminster College (or Westminster Technical College), which merged with Kingsway College to become Westminster Kingsway College. To the best of current staff's knowledge, City of Westminster College has never inhabited any buildings in Vincent Square. Please do come back if you have any information that proves us wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Libby norman (talk • contribs) 15:09, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm interested to see that in the Elizabeth David article you have moved the publication dates in the second half of the section to the front of each line, but not those in the first half.

Anna Akhmatova

Hi Felix, I noticed that you added expansion tags for Anna Akhmatova. Looking at the two articles tagged I see that almost none of the text is referenced and that the German article is considerably shorter than the English language counterpart.

Hello, The article looks much better now after your editing though it is is very short of citations. I noticed that User talk:Roltz where I left a note is a page that keeps getting all the content removed by the user. This means we have to go into History to see previous interactions with that user which is inconvenient. I am not sure whether anything can be done about the blanking.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:22, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I will try to take a look, and respond as time allows. Unfortunately this is pretty far off my main line of expertise and knowledge, so I probably will not be able to do much either. Anyway, I will keep both articles watch-listed. Thanks, Wwheaton (talk) 17:28, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

OK, I have made a feeble effort and restoring us to two articles. I reverted User:Anments (talk)'s last two edits and edited enough to make the scope of each article clear, as well as leaving parallel explanatory messages on both article talk pages. I also left Anments a message asking him to refrain from altering the scope without consensus on the talk pages. I also hard-coded in an "otheruses" msg on the article about the person, as the otheruses4 template was misbehaving and producing a red link, probably a side effect of the mix-up. If you get a chance to shuffle material around that would be good, as I think it needs work, As you say, the material is fairly large and complex, and I have no expertise at all beyond what has been in the article(s). Cheers, Wwheaton (talk) 19:14, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Antonio del Corro and others: "Inquisition book of somebody"

Hi you have written this on my talk-site: Re: Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus. The Antonio del Corro article maintains that he is Reginaldus. I left this comment there "Different opinion: there is now a new article at Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus which expresses a different view.... Perhaps you could investigate this.

Ok, I study a little bit theologie. So I came from this side to the article: Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus. Step 1: First I have written the german article and an english Revision of Reina-Valera. (By this work I looked on the spanish wikipedia-site). Step II. I made the german site of Casiodoro de Reina and an english revision. (By this work I looked again on the spanish wikipedia-site). On the history of this site Casiodoro de Reina I can see that you have seen this. (Thanks for the mistake correction.) On the word "rigidity" in this article you can see that somebody (before me) used the spanish wikipedia site of this article. This sentence: ... rigidity of the Consistory to be salutary. I suppose is not very good to understand.

So, you have seen that this information was on this site before I came. But now Sources were I find this oppinion too:

1. Erich Wenneker: REINA, Cassiodoro di. In: Biographisch-Bibliographisches Kirchenlexikon (BBKL). Band 7, Herzberg 1994, ISBN 3-88309-048-4, Sp. 1524–1528.

look on the section works of the article Cassiodoro de Reina.

2. in the text: [http://www.ritmanlibrary.nl/c/r/pdf/castellio_widerstand1-gilly.pdf PDF: Sebastan Castellio und der politische Widerstand gegen Philipp II. von Spani

you can read that this is common error - can you german?

(in Hermann Dechent: Reina. In: Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (ADB). Band 27, Duncker & Humblot, Leipzig 1888, S. 720–723. a very good source, is nothing to read about the inquistion etc.)

now I will look into the internet to find something about the problem. (my next article would be a german site about the mathew bible).

mfg Soenke Rahn with friendly greetings Soenke Rahn (talk) 14:24, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, now I have made revisions of the articles: Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus and Antonio del Corro. I hope it's Ok so. To the: "...

Then I will see. Yes my citation is an old one, but yes there are a lot of standards and sigh ... sigh, sigh. The last two days I have made an article to David Daniell (an Oxford-Prof(essor)) - I have made a translation under: David Daniell (author). Possible you can look about it. with friendly greetings --Soenke Rahn (talk) 23:51, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, yes his birthday, but I don't found him in my books or in the Internet. Possible, anybody will find his birthday in the book: Who is who?. Living person - yes that sound possible but David Daniell is very old and since a long time in pension. But, yes it's possible to say he is a living person. Ok, the thing with the thesis. Yes, words are instruments, but it's true that from on university to an another these instruments are different, in Germany too. But in German These would be the right word because: A well known theses are the 95 Theses of Martin Luther. This is a good example for Thesis. About a thesis you can hold a discussion and if you don't believe the thesis you have to falsificate it. You have to say, why is the thesis false. So is it with this thesis too. David Daniell says it's clear that he is right, but he comes with pieces of circumstantial evidences (german Indizien) and not with evidences. So you can say it's possible that he is right. (By the way, and this is nothing for Wikipedia - he makes mistakes I know it because he translated here and there german texts false, and so on) Ok, in the article to the Matthew bible wrote that this thesis so are it's Facts, but I think that's not right and not false. Opinion for thesis would be, I think not good ... because it's to soft. In german These = thesis is the rigt word. We don't use thesis often, and it may be that there exist a lot of definitions in germany too, but I suppose for a german text it's the right word. I looked in my New Oxford English Dictionary, but thesis seems to be right. Other dictionarys says the same. Ok, possible you are right and you have a better idea. ... Morrow I will see that I will make the german translation to the Mathew Bible. The Mathew Bible is very beautiful book, with fine images. I have a facsimile.--Soenke Rahn (talk) 23:53, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks the David Daniell article looks better now. Good work! The Who's Who I put in the section with the general sources (or general references) not into the section with the notes. I think this would be OK so. But I can not make it precise. The same is it with the book of Fox. The footnote with the booktitle was a revision of me. I am sure that the writer of this sentence means this book. The book is often quoted in this context. So it is clear. But in the moment I can not say which edition and page and so on. Very good link to Casiodoro de Reina, I will put it to the external links. But such section would be interesing for books which are not a source, but a advice to read. The question to "evangelic" / "evangelical" is a little delicate and complex topic. Write me an email I will answer. Ineresting Link: Stephen Joseph Studio. I will see that I will make a translation of this site. Is Manchester beautiful? wfg. --Soenke Rahn (talk) 17:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Bede, the Venerable

Felicitous catch, Felix. It looks like some ambitious and knowledgeable editor should move much of the discussion of the HE into the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum article, and provide a summary in this article that focuses on those elements that show how the HE embodies/reflects Bede's achievements and less on the HE itself. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 20:59, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Weimarer Ausgabe

Moin Moin (how we say in the north of Germany for good morning), Yes, the article to the Weimarer Ausgabe looks better now. Thanks for the revision and mistake correction. I suppose that the list of content is not complete so I suppose that your correction " - Z" is not right. But, I will go to the library and will see what is. ... - The evangelic, evangelical and Lutheran - definition on the german wikipedia site "evangelisch" and "Evangelikalismus" I think is not complete and so not quite right. By the way, the anglican church has an lutheran theology, with a lutheran tradition, but is not a lutheran church. Typical lutheran would be the usage of the small catechism of Martin Luther. But the theology is in the sense of Martin Luther and so it is an evangelic church. But how I say the definition is a difficult problem, and I have good reasons that I will not write in the wikipedia about this problem, because to say the right think is sometimes false and language is changing. ... The town were I live, Flensburg is a little town on the border to denmark. Today the sun is shining, but often the weather is wet, too - this is the autumn. I suppose that you now that England means Land of Angles. The region round about Flensburg is called Angeln. So you can say that I live in Angelnland.

Mügeln and Heinrich von Mügeln

Hello Felix, I looked on the article. The first version is like the version which you have edited. The first version comes from an antonym User-IP. I saw that the word "lock" should be castle. This is interesting because: lock means Schloss, schließen. But German Schloss means, how I say, castle too. The etymological explanation is that a castle locked (in medieval times) a street into a valley etc. (so that robbers had no chance to kill people in the dale). Nobody, which learns a little bit English, would translate this (so) false. So I suppose this translation was made by (or with) a translation machine, like the babel fish. (I gave this statement in my minor edit of this article.) I suppose it would be the best when you will send me the article with underscored (not readable) passages or if it is not to big, place the passages on my discussion-site. I am not sure, but I suppose that 30 percent or more of this article is not readable for an English native speaker. Are you interested on the German article to Heinrich von Mügeln? I like the Middle High German Topic. It would be interesting for me to translate this article into English.--Soenke Rahn (talk) 22:26, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello Felix, I editied the Mügeln site a second time. Sometimes I laughed about the false babel fish translation of the article. In the moment in Flensburgh it is dark and it rains again. And it is windy and cold. - ask again - best greetings --Soenke Rahn (talk) 18:54, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello Felix, this was very nice. Your translation is useful. I have made some changes again. This week I will (or 'must' because it is hurry) make German articles to Lutherfilms. Later I will translate these articles into English. So I suppose, that I will make the next changes on the Weimarer-Ausgabe article in ca. 2 weeks. Possible you will look about the artice again.

History of Christianity

I have been dividing the overlong article into three: I would have made notes at the end of the first article pointing forward, etc.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 05:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

That is a bit too bold. Please discuss first at Talk: History of Christianity and seek WP:CON. Thanks. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 05:25, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Please move History of Christianity back to that location. While we could split it in three-- Wikipedia does need a main article on the History of Christianity. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 05:29, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

So, Felix Folio Secundus, how about moving History of early Christianity to Early history of Christianity, and then recreating Medieval history of Christianity and Modern history of Christianity , but sure leave this page intact (except you are more than welcome to help cut its lenght and add links to the new article.) It would seem best to me to let the Modern history of Christianity cover the time after that covered by the Reformation/Counter-Reformation articles. (Please reply on that talk page.) ^{Carlaude:Talk} 11:22, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

The most useful one would probably be the Modern history of Christianty from the Enlightenment till the present time. The Middle Ages are perhaps not so good a way of describing ecclesiastical history and the overlaps might be hard to manage. Concern has been expressed by others that the Christianity by centuries articles are not a good idea but eliminating them would also be a considerable task. I will not do anything immediately and hope to consider it later. Your slimmer version of the main article is certainly a move in the right direction.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it's apprpriate to have a comment about Islam in the very first paragraph in an article concerned mainly and primarily about Christianity in the 21st century. It just seems downright obsessive and nasty, since there seems to be an unhealthy fixation about Muslims in certain academic and intellectual circles. There are also many other religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism that are in a deep mode of opposition to Christianity at the present time. On the contrary, I feel that it is not so much other religions that pose a threat to Christianity, but rather radical secularism and liberalism, who simply want to annihilate religion altogether in a new post-modern globalist political sphere known as the New World Order.

Antike Bibliotheken

Hello again, I came back to the German WP today and have been trying to understand what is said about the Imperial Library of Constantinople. " Man hat vermutet, dass zu dieser Zeit in Konstantinopel die Papyrusrollen auf Pergamentkodizes umgeschrieben wurden, wie es für die theologische Bibliothek von Caesarea Maritima (in Judäa) bezeugt ist." Perhaps you could explain what this really says for me so I can get the English article right. English WP has a long section on the Caesarea library under [[Pamphilus of Caesarea] but it does not help. Thank you for working on the John Rylands Library article (n.b. "John Rylands" is the correct name; "Ryland" is used as a surname in English but his family were called "Rylands", the library perpetuates his name as his children all died in his lifetime. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus 13:27, 19. Feb. 2010 (CET)

Hello, today I am sitting on the Computer of my father and I am looking out of the window. A lot of snow you can see. Ok, in the moment I take time to make some edits on the wikipedia again. My work on the Duden is not complete but I got a little bit time, this decreased the stress. So I will see: "Man hat vermutet, dass zu dieser Zeit in Konstantinopel die Papyrusrollen auf Pergamentkodizes umgeschrieben wurden, wie es für die theologische Bibliothek von Caesarea Maritima (in Judäa) bezeugt ist." means short translated into english: "(Some) People supposed, that in this time, the named papyrus rolls werde new written in pergament codices." Here is important to know that in this time Or context you must say a Codex means book. Yes realy a book, a bonded book with pages. Ok, now I will translated the entire sentence: "Man hat vermutet, dass zu dieser Zeit in Konstantinopel die Papyrusrollen auf Pergamentkodizes umgeschrieben wurden, wie es für die theologische Bibliothek von Caesarea Maritima (in Judäa) bezeugt ist." = "People supposed, that in this time in Constantinopel, the named papyrus rolls werde new written in pergament codices, like it was made with theological books of the library of Caesarea Maritima (in Judea).

Re: Imperial Library of Constantinople

Thank you for the update on your work, I really appreciate it :).

I think that the article is really starting to look better, especially with your edits to it. I was looking through your edits and all of them have really improved the readability and flow of the article. It could use a few more references, but sometimes those are hard to come by; and you tagged the article already so that has a better chance of getting fixed.

Thank you for your hard work and for the update,

Thank you for the translation: I have added a note about it in the discussion of Pamphilus of Caesarea.

No problem, I have forgotten the facebook thing, for my person I own more than one e-mails and facebook account, but not really anonymous. It is complicated, to create a second identit"ies". And on the other hand it is sometimes complicated to generate a second account and so on. The Only thing I like on facebook really is the chat-function. meinvz.net makes the same thing but is creatable without problems. So if you will change your mind for chatting one time or to use something like this as a Clipboard (e.g. for pre-translating), this could be maybe a way.

Hi, I see that you're the most recent editor on that article. Are you personally familiar with that village and its various buildings? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:18, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Hungarians &c

Hi Felix Folio,

Yes, things have been rather quiet on the Hungarian side, partly because User:Monkap and I have been busy arranging our marriage and were threatened with having to move house (the landlady put the place up for sale, but offers are not flooding in, so we are safe for now it seems) and also I have spent two weeks in Budapest on a crash course in Hungarian, where it was, well, "hard" would be the wrong word, but unfeasible, to use the Internet much. I'll spend some time catching up in the next few days.

Best regards as always

Hi, Felix! We don't normally use ALA-LC romanization in Wikipedia because its use is mainly limited to the library catalogs and not to the actual publications. As for the spellings of people's names, we should stick to the spellings used in the sources being cited (I mean the sources in English, of course). If no such sources are available, we use this system (note that it is currently under discussion, but the discussion concerns only a few minor details). Let me know if you need anything further. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 27, 2011; 15:28 (UTC)

I don't have access to any of these, unfortunately. From what I see, all these are originally in Russian (except, of course, the one in French), which means that for spelling guidance [[this page is your best bet (at least until you find anything relevant in English).—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 28, 2011; 13:35 (UTC)

Highlighting

That the article's sighted version status. You wouldn't see these colors on the en_wiki because this feature is not implemented here. A pale yellow highlight means that the article needs to be sighted, while pale blue means that the article had already been sighted by someone. The exact implementation details may vary from one Wikipedia to another, but in general your edits will always be marked as unsighted in Wikipedias where you don't have an autoreviewer status, and you can do nothing to change that unless you have a reviewer status. The bottom line—you can safely ignore that highlighting :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 28, 2011; 13:28 (UTC)

Rating

Hi, I noticed you rated an article for three projects, and that another user (who I am mentoring) has undone this on the basis that we should leave it for members of the various projects to rate. I don't take any position on the ratings you were adding, but I can see the sense in leaving it to project members to do the ratings. I wouldn't want anybody to get into edit warring over this; I wonder if you could talk to each other about the ratings in article talk? --John (talk) 22:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

The British Isles / United Kingdom as a subject remains controversial and I try to avoid any controversy there. The United Kingdom is a nation state only 300 years old and the British Isles go back into prehistory and beyond. All assessment is provisional as far as I know and better-informed editors can intervene to change it if they wish. As far as I can see most WikiProjects are very slow to assess all the relevant articles or even identify the ones that really belong to each one. Some while ago I did a lot of assessment in WikiProject Libraries and got no objections, later I did join that project. If a member of a project notified me that non-members were not wanted I would leave its articles alone. In controversial topics, e.g. I would probably add a WP for the relevant country only. WP:Celts, WP:ASK, WP:Cornwall are among the projects I have joined. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:50, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Dancing Stars

Hello Bai Brother, I am User:Es.ntp from Vietnam and I need your help a lot in expanding Dancing Stars articles which strongly influences to our vietnamese version of Dancing with the Stars. We used your country's format and brought your professionals to our country and even bought the show's script. Thus, there might be some international winners (who win both in Bulgaria and in Vietnam) and some strictly similarities. Our latest winning professional is Lachezar Stefanov Todorov. I ask you today just for more info about the show, especially the elimination order, how many season there are and so-on. Thank you so much for your collaborating. From Vietnam with love!! 1.52.27.207 (talk) 04:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC).
