re Burnsall images. Thanks for interpolation of my image with the existing. As stated in my Edit summary, I opened a gallery as I will be adding in the next few days pictures of the village illus. of the stub: notably of the church. So I'll reinstitute the gallery. I'm staying briefly in the area, am a photographer as well as a contributor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alethe (talk • contribs) 21:08, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Yorkshire template

Sorry Keith. I was trying to use the {{WPBannerMeta}} for the template, if you don't like the changes simply revert it until something that suits the project can be done. —Borgarde^talk 02:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Could you tell me what links go to the wrong place as well, so I can see what went wrong, because I see the template working fine. The Meta template supports the use of -importance instead of -priority. The comment info is still there as well, the Meta template uses it placed at the bottom of the template instead of the quality scale line, which is trying to standardise across the templates. —Borgarde^talk 02:54, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

How do you know about Aldworth Science College. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.198.115.1 (talk) 23:07, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Great Ayton Shops, Pubs & Restaurants website

Dear Keith

I added the Great Ayton Shops, Pubs & Restaurants website as I believe it contributes to the knowledge about Great Ayton. The website is NOT a conventional advertising website but largely a collection of photographs about the inside and outside and of the staff of the establishments. There are a few occurences where what might be called advertising appears but this is not very often. I am the IT Consultant to the Great Ayton Community Archaeological Project whose present 4 year project is to look into the history of Great Ayton. One of the members who looked at my website asked me if I could go back 100 years and make one for 1908. I am also surprised that you removed the websites. The first one I made about Great Ayton shows in photographs lots of views of Great Ayton as it is now. The second one is aimed to advertise the website and does that by selling the features of Great Ayton: Captain Cook; Roseberry Topping; the river etc. I also have YOUTUBES under the name GASBAGSMike for Stokesley, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire Moors' Dales, and Roseberry Topping - all these I would think should be added to Wikipedia Kind Regards

Thanks for the note. I have added the 3 links to the talk page and ask for comments by others. Looks like they fall under the rich media type of information which is not really handled by wiki. I would wait and see if others think it is appropriate to add them back or not. If others feel that they should be reinserted then I will not remove them again, though others may do so. If they are reinserted then I think that the caption against the links may need clarifying so that people know that the links are rich media type sites. Keith D (talk) 12:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

References format

If you are interested in the format of Reference sections, I have been thinking about the format on the "Philip Larkin" page. I asked on the Shakespeare page, because several editors working on the "Philip Larkin" page have been looking to the Shakespeare page, an FA, as an example of excellence. Snowman (talk) 21:09, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking a better way might be more along the lines of the William Wilberforce article where the references are linked to the book entry that follows in a separate section. Keith D (talk) 21:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

yes, I think that is the best system, but it take more work to set up. The "William Welberforce" page is set out very well. Snowman (talk) 22:30, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Ortisei

Hi, similar to the request made for Val Gardena, can you provide an opinion for this page request? I'm familiar and have visited this town a few times, and even the local inhabitants use "Ortisei" for basic promotion in English. Icsunonove (talk) 22:39, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I am really neutral as I have no knowledge of the area, I moved the other article as the discussion was pointing in that direction. I think that on the face of it a move would be appropriate but see what happens when others comment. Keith D (talk) 22:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, Septentrionalis made a valid argument, I suppose. Though, if he doesn't like the Google search results, I'd rather he try to improve on them, rather than just say, "wait and see". Another user brings in a lot of personal passion against imperialism, etc. :-) This doesn't help us use on here what is common English usage. Sometimes the whole discussions here about names in this region give me a big headache with all the chest thumping. Anyway, if you can help shore up the usage results, that would be enough of a great help. Icsunonove (talk) 02:53, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

St James Church, High Melton

For your contribution to that page in no time flat. Fastest turnaround I've ever seen. Many thanks and regards,MarmadukePercy (talk) 01:51, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

A quick question. I'm just curious how one manages to do what you did from that site. How does one go about transferring that image to Commons exactly? (I have another photo I'm interested in.) Again, many thanks!Regards,MarmadukePercy (talk) 23:41, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

A bit difficult to explain but here goes.

• Locate the image required, I tend to use the OS reference from streetmap to get list of images on Geograph.
• Click on image to get it enlarged view
• Right-click of mouse and select save-as to save it to your PC
• From the page extract the information for the template on commons
  • Image number
  • Photographer
  • Date taken
• I normally assemble the template in notepad and paste it into the image box on commons

{{Information

|Description=

|Source=Geograph project http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/<photo number>

|Date=<date taken>

|Author=<Photographer>

|Permission=see below

|other_versions=

}}

{{geograph|<photo number>|<Photographer>}}

• Login to commons
• Select upload file
• Select basic upload form - last but one line on screen
• On upload form
  • press Browse button and pick the file on your PC for the saved image
  • Paste the completed templates into the summary box
  • Enter appropriate categories in the category box (you can add them to the bottom of the summary box if you know them)
  • Press the upload button

That is all there is to it, it gets easier once you have done it a few times. Keith D (talk) 00:06, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Keith, many thanks for taking the time. I think I have the hang of it now. Regards,MarmadukePercy (talk) 02:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
