== Invitation to RedWarn == |
|||
[[File:RedWarnLogo.png|right|frameless]] |
|||
Hello, Dr Greg! I'm [[User:Ed6767|Ed6767]]. I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta my new tool called RedWarn, specifically designed to improve your editing experience. |
|||
== Is there a possibility to create new Wikipedia articles as stated below? == |
|||
RedWarn is currently in use by [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?cirrusUserTesting=control&sort=relevance&search=%22User%3AEd6767%2Fredwarn.js%22+intitle%3A%2F%28common%7Cvector%7Cmonobook%7Cmodern%7Ctimeless%7Ccologneblue%29%5C.js%2F&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&advancedSearch-current=%7B%7D&ns2=1 over 80 other Wikipedians], and feedback so far has been extremely positive. In fact, in a recent survey of RedWarn users, '''90%''' of users said they would recommend RedWarn to another editor. If you're interested, please see the [[WP:REDWARN|RedWarn tool page]] for more information on RedWarn's features and instructions on how to install it. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your talk page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated!

I am aware that you have very deep knowledge of Lancashire Railways and wonder if you have time to create new Wikipedia articles on the following Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway line and its two stations:- |
|||
== The Good Life == |
|||
[[LYR Hindley to Blackrod branch line]] |
|||
Please do not undo accurate edits and post inaccurate comments. The Other One began it's run on 11th December 1977 and a BBC source was provided in the edit to verify and confirm that fact. The Good Life finished it's run on 22 May 1977, thus your statement that The Other One began a year before TGL finished is wholly inaccurate. It is noted that the original run of TOO ran concurrently with the first of the two 'specials' commissioned after TGL series ended. Since the character of "Sir's" wife Felicity (who only appeared in two episodes in series 1) is included in the article and you appear to have no objection to that inclusion, it is thus perfectly acceptable for the only other one of the three recurring characters who also appeared in two episodes and is referred to in many others - many more than Felicity - Mrs Weaver, it is again perfectly acceptable for this character to be included in the article. Please do not undo these edits again. [[Special:Contributions/212.2.180.165|212.2.180.165]] ([[User talk:212.2.180.165|talk]]) 17:03, 5 December 2020 (UTC) |

== County → District maps == |
|||
[[User:Xenophon Philosopher|Xenophon Philosopher]] ([[User talk:Xenophon Philosopher|talk]]) 13:29, 28 June 2024 (UTC) |
|||
To my view, {{Diff|Devil's Grinding Mill|prev|1004497458|changing the map of a UK location from county to district}} is not an improvement. The new map means nothing to anyone unfamiliar with the shape of Eden District (i.e. virtually all users). From the Cumbria map, as a Brit I can establish more or less where the site is; the Eden map, lacking any coastline or familiar geography, tells me nothing. Surely more people are familiar with the shape of Cumbria, and for those that aren't that map (unlike the Eden map) also features an establishing inset that shows Cumbria's location within England. Anybody wanting the pinpoint location can click on the coords. Was there a discussion on this type of change anywhere? I'm more active on sites in Derbyshire and similar changes have been made on some sites there (which I find similarly unhelpful).

|||
== is/was == |
|||
: {{ping|Dave.Dunford}}, I can see your point and I'm not aware of any discussions about this. Maybe this should be discussed at some appropriate central talk page. |
|||
: I boldly introduced district maps in Lancashire articles several years ago and nobody ever complained, so recently I just went ahead to do the same in Cumbria. |
|||
: I understand your concern, and for any article with more than one map and that doesn't use {{tlx|Infobox UK place}} it's easy enough to change the priority of which map should be shown first by default. I wouldn't object to anyone changing the order and I'd be willing to do it myself if there's consensus to do so. |
|||
: There is a technical issue with articles that use {{tlx|Infobox UK place}} which automatically adds the county map to the ''bottom'' of the list that is supplied via parameters. To get the county map at the top of the list would require a rewrite of the template code. --<span style="box-shadow:2px 2px 6px #999">[[User:Dr Greg|<b style="color:#FFF8C0;background:#494"> Dr Greg </b>]][[User talk:Dr Greg|<span style="color:#494;background:#FFF8C0"> <small>talk</small> </span>]]</span> 19:09, 3 February 2021 (UTC) |

== Greater London flag? == |
|||
Hi! I would kindly ask you to clarify the existence of the Greater London flag. On the list of English flags [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_flags]] says about that very flag: "The flag used officially between 1965 and 1984. Prior to 1965 it had been the flag of the County of London from 1889. Since 1984 the flag has had no official status". So why there is a flag in the article about [[Greater London]]. Thanks and all the best! [[User:Darrad2009|Darrad2009]] ([[User talk:Darrad2009|talk]]) 13:18, 7 April 2021 (UTC) |

:: Following my previous editing, I am having a problem distinguishing the two: on the page [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_England]] if I click ''London'' on the list of the regions, it transfers me to the [[Greater London]]. The very first sentence of the Greater London article says: '''"Greater London is a ceremonial county of England that makes up the majority of the London region"''', whereas in the infobox is stated that Greater London is a ceremonial county and the region. All of this is quite confusing, and I would appreciate it if you be so kind to clarify what's correct; is the Greater London region and ceremonial county or just county? Thanks! [[User:Darrad2009|Darrad2009]] ([[User talk:Darrad2009|talk]]) 10:36, 11 April 2021 (UTC) |
|||
:::Yes, it's confusing. First of all Wikipedia's [[Greater London]] article is about both the region and the ceremonial county, whereas Wikipedia's [[London]] article isn't specifically about either, it's about the urban city in general. Now to answer your question, the ''county'' is officially called "Greater London" and excludes the [[City of London]] square mile which is a separate county. The official ''region''{{'}}s official name is just "London", and includes both the Greater London county and the City of London county. It's all a bit confusing and unfortunately the names of the Wikipedia articles don't align neatly with the different administrative structures. --<span style="box-shadow:2px 2px 6px #999">[[User:Dr Greg|<b style="color:#FFF8C0;background:#494"> Dr Greg </b>]][[User talk:Dr Greg|<span style="color:#494;background:#FFF8C0"> <small>talk</small> </span>]]</span> 11:11, 11 April 2021 (UTC) |

Hi there. I notice the infoboxes on [[UTV (TV channel)]] and [[ITV Channel Television]] are missing an ITV region locator map. Is this something you could help with?

== Linking to [[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency]] in the TV shows == |
|||
Hello Elder Wikipedia Entity Greg. I see you reverted my edits to the [[Dirk Gently (TV series)]] and [[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (TV series)]], adding links to [[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency|the novel of the same name]] "because the novel is not a TV series." I'm pretty sure the About and For functions are widely used to link to pages with similar names, even when the similar-sounding page is not about a subject of the same media (or indeed, the same class). For example, the Wikipedia page for [[Beetlejuice]] has an About for the [[Betelgeuse|star]], and vice versa. Unless you think there's some other reason why the novel shouldn't be linked in the About, I'm going to add it back in. Let me know - I expect you know better than I do. |

:The point is that the article is called "Dirk Gently (TV series)", not "Dirk Gently", so anyone choosing to visit that page already knew that it's a about a TV series and not about a novel. Hatnotes are there to help readers who are looking for something but find the page is not the one they were looking for. So its OK for the "[[Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency]]" article to have hatnotes for the TV series because it's plausible, from the article title alone, that it might be about a TV series.

== Timeline of ABC Weekend TV == |
|||
Thank you for creating this timeline - it's an excellent addition to my ITV company timeline series. |
|||
It would be great if it was ever possible to once again separate the westward and TSW timelines but thank you for adding the redirect for those wanting to see a timeline for Westward. [[User:Rillington|Rillington]] ([[User talk:Rillington|talk]]) 14:53, 27 March 2022 (UTC) |

== Template : Blackpool & Fleetwood Branch Lines == |
|||
On [[Template : Blackpool & Fleetwood Branch Lines]] there are two long-closed stations that are omitted from the route map. {{rws|Cross Slack}} was situated between {{rws|St Annes on the Sea}} and {{rws|Gillett's Crossing Halt}}. {{rws|Stony Hill}} was situated between {{rws|Gillett's Crossing Halt}} and {{rws|Squires Gate}}. |
|||
If you feel that these two closed stations can be added to the route map, can you please do so. |

:I just looked up both of these. Cross Slack is the original name for {{rws|St Annes-on-the-Sea}} which had moved location a year before being renamed. Stony Hill was near where {{rws|Squires Gate}} opened many years after its closure. I'm not sure if it's worth showing two different locations on the route map when both locations were never in use at the same time. If the map were geographically accurate, yes. But when it just shows the order of stations, a relocation doesn't affect the order. For example, the current map doesn't show two different locations for {{rws|Fleetwood}}, or {{rws|Thornton-Cleveleys}} (although is does show {{rws|Ramper Road}}, which I would be tempted to delete as an "earlier version"). On the other hand, showing the two locations for {{rws|Poulton-le-Fylde}} does make sense because they are on different line segments. It might be worth seeking advice from other users whether including multiple locations for what is essentially the same station is worthwhile or not. --<span style="box-shadow:2px 2px 6px #999">[[User:Dr Greg|<b style="color:#FFF8C0;background:#494"> Dr Greg </b>]][[User talk:Dr Greg|<span style="color:#494;background:#FFF8C0"> <small>talk</small> </span>]]</span> 17:38, 21 April 2022 (UTC) |

Thank you for looking into the matter in the depth that you have done, for which I am most grateful. |

I can't find out why they had new neighbours in the series of Bless This House, I keep getting the film results [[Special:Contributions/2A00:23C7:7C09:A001:D488:5450:B555:70B6|2A00:23C7:7C09:A001:D488:5450:B555:70B6]] ([[User talk:2A00:23C7:7C09:A001:D488:5450:B555:70B6|talk]]) 11:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC) |

== ITV Nightscreen. == |
|||
Hi, I am considering cleaning up [[ITV Nightscreen]]. I would like to expand information about unwind with ITV into a section (since it’s not notable enough to have its own article), and would also like to create redirects from ‘Unwind with ITV’ and ‘Unwind with STV’ to that section in the article. Would this be okay since I’m not sure if this goes against any MOS polices for this area of Wikipedia. |
|||
I also want to add links to the website where the production music can be found for reference. Would this be allowed too? I did do this in the past although I’m not sure if it went against any policies or anything because I was new here. Hope you can help. Many thanks!

:I don't really have any strong feelings about this. It would be better to ask at [[Talk:ITV Nightscreen]] where other editors may see it and respond. <span style="box-shadow:2px 2px 6px #999">[[User:Dr Greg|<b style="color:#FFF8C0;background:#494"> Dr Greg </b>]][[User talk:Dr Greg|<span style="color:#494;background:#FFF8C0"> <small>talk</small> </span>]]</span> 21:42, 25 June 2022 (UTC) |

::Unfortunately, I don’t think many editors read the talk pages for certain articles like this one so I think I will just go ahead with the changes (like I did before) and hopefully there should be no issues, since I have sources etc… if there are any issues though, I will take them down. Thanks for your advice nonetheless. Kind regards, [[User:Blanchey|Blanchey]] ([[User talk:Blanchey|talk]]) 08:23, 26 June 2022 (UTC) |

I inadvertently placed an external link in ‘See also’ instead of ‘External links’ on The Avengers (TV series). Instead of the condescending revert, it would have been nice and civilized to alert me or dealt with this otherwise specially considering [[WP:GOODFAITH]].

: I'm sorry you feel that way. It wasn't my intention to sound condenscending. I was just following Wikipedia's standard [[WP:BRD]] ("bold, revert, discuss") cycle: you '''b'''oldly made a change, I disagreed and '''r'''everted it, and if we can't agree, further '''d'''iscussion can take place. It's "BRD", not "BDR". I thought my edit summary ("''The "See also" section is for Wikipedia articles only, not external links''") was purely factual and did not imply bad faith. I wasn't aware of your level of experience, and didn't know whether I was telling you something you already knew or not. Sorry if it didn't come across as I intended. --<span style="box-shadow:2px 2px 6px #999">[[User:Dr Greg|<b style="color:#FFF8C0;background:#494"> Dr Greg </b>]][[User talk:Dr Greg|<span style="color:#494;background:#FFF8C0"> <small>talk</small> </span>]]</span> 12:24, 5 September 2022 (UTC) |

Is there a possibility to create new Wikipedia articles as stated below?
[edit]I am aware that you have very deep knowledge of Lancashire Railways and wonder if you have time to create new Wikipedia articles on the following Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway line and its two stations:-
LYR Hindley to Blackrod branch line
Hilton House railway station (Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway)
Dicconson Lane and Aspull railway station
At the age of 79, I am finding certain tasks are now beyond me.

[edit]I see from The Frost Report: Difference between revisions you reverted my tense change. How does my change differ from the past tense used for theseand these television programmes/programs and these and these radio programmes/programs? Mcljlm (talk) 01:06, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- The examples you have found do not comply with Wikipedia's Manual of Style either (see MOS:TVNOW). I note that they are only a small number compared with the many thousands of articles that do comply. Dr Greg talk 11:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
