==Disambiguation link notification for March 5==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Forch railway station]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Esslingen]] ([http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Forch_railway_station check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Forch_railway_station fix with Dab solver]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 10:19, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

== Strasbourg again ==

Hello Chris. I've got a little favour to ask. I would like to turn the article [[Palais Rohan, Strasbourg]] into a Good Article, and for that purpose, I made a request for a review [[Wikipedia:Peer review/Palais Rohan, Strasbourg/archive1|here]]. Only - no one reacted because no one seems to care! So... tell me if I'm being rude... given your interest for Strasbourg I thought maybe *you* could read the article and add your thoughts. (I made the same request to {{u|LynwoodF}}). All the best, [[User:Edelseider|Edelseider]] ([[User talk:Edelseider|talk]]) 06:42, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

* @Edelseider: Interesting. I've not done a good article review before. Doesn't look like I contributed to this article, so I shouldn't be disqualifed from doing so. Let me take a look at the process, and I'll try and help. Might take me until the weekend to get there though. If you don't see anything by Monday feel free to ping me again. -- [[User:Chris j wood|chris_j_wood]] ([[User talk:Chris j wood#top|talk]]) 10:02, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

== [[South Gloucestershire]] ==

I see three unhelpful edits since your improved version - but am getting near [[WP:3RR]] if I do what seems sensible and revert the lot. How long before we need to revisit [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Disruptive_editing_by_User:Some1asks]]? (It's still open).

:@PamD: I know. I've just reverted one of them, which seemed more confused (at least the edit comment didn't seem to relate to the change) than deliberately damaging. I'm not sure if we are dealing with a vandal or just a very inexperienced editor. The other two edits I can live with for now, rather than use up more of my 3RR. -- [[User:Chris j wood|chris_j_wood]] ([[User talk:Chris j wood#top|talk]]) 17:12, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

== Nottingham Express Transit - Toton Lane tram stop. ==

Chris,

Can I just point out that the location of the Toton Lane tram stop that you have 'corrected' back to Chilwell (from my correction to Stapleford) is incorrect. The reference that you cite https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/election-maps/gb/ actually shows that the tram stop and park and ride site are in the district ward of "Toton and Chilwell Meadows". Chilwell Meadows lies about 1KM south east of the tram stop whereas Toton borders the southern side of the park and ride. It would be more accurate to say the tram stop and park and ride are located in Toton than Chilwell which - to a local like me - doesn't make sense.

The site now occupied by the tram used to host Stapleford Circus. Google Earth still has it on their database http://www.titsham.co.uk/images/staplefordcircus.jpg . The footpath to the south of the circus is the Stapleford/Toton border. Whilst I concede that the electoral boundaries have been changed (for political reasons), and that the tram stop is within the Toton and Chilwell Meadows electoral ward, it is certainly not in Chilwell.

The only debate is whether the tram stop and park and ride site is in Stapleford or Toton. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Nottingham-tram-Confusion-cleared-location-Toton/story-27681744-detail/story.html Politically it is in Toton, but Historically it is in Stapleford.

Nevertheless, In April this year (2016) Broxtowe Borough Council erected a new sign welcoming people to Stapleford on the historic border, ignoring political ward boundaries. Anyone approaching the entrance to the tram park and ride would assume it is in Stapleford and not Toton - certainly not Chilwell.

http://www.staplefordcommunitygroup.org.uk/2016/04/21/welcome-to-stapleford/

Please consider this and update the Nottingham Express Transit page accordingly.

== Proposed deletion of Wilford Lane tram stop ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Wilford Lane tram stop]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Why would a tram stop be [[WP:N|notable]]? What's next, bus stops?'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[{{TALKPAGENAME:Wilford Lane tram stop}}|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Fram|Fram]] ([[User talk:Fram|talk]]) 10:23, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

::@Fram: I've responded at [[Talk:Wilford Lane tram stop]]. Incidentally, I'm intrigued why you chose just this article out of the many NET tram stop articles, and did so in the middle of proposing the deletion of a swath of planned Edinburgh tram stops (a proposal, incidentally, with which I agree; planned is too soon). -- [[User:Chris j wood|chris_j_wood]] ([[User talk:Chris j wood#top|talk]]) 15:26, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

== Close paraphrasing of sources at R&ER article ==

Hi. I'm afraid your recent additions and alterations at the [[Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway]] article contain very [[WP:close paraphrasing|closely paraphrased]] from sources. This can be a problem under both our [[WP:C|copyright policies]] and our [[Wikipedia:Plagiarism|guideline on plagiarism]].

While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:
The source says:
:''In 1958 and again in 1959 the line and fittings were offered for sale but, without any serious potential purchaser, it was announced that the 1960 season would be the last. The Railway was to be sold by auction in September.''
The article says:
:''In both 1958 and 1959 the line was unsuccessfully offered for sale and it was announced that the 1960 season would be the last, with the railway being sold by auction in September of that year.''
This is an example; there are other passages that similarly follow quite closely. In general, a good rule of thumb is that no more than three words should appear in the same order as in the source text, although the overall structure of the text should also be taken into account.

As a website that is widely read and reused, Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously to protect the interests of the holders of copyright as well as those of the Wikimedia Foundation and our reusers. Wikipedia's [[WP:C|copyright policies]] require that the content we take from non-free sources, aside from brief and clearly marked quotations, be rewritten from scratch. So that we can be sure it does not constitute a [[derivative work]], this article should be revised to separate it further from its source. The essay [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]] contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches]] also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".

Please let me know if you have questions about this. [[User:Pyrope|<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;color:#92000a">Pyrop</span>]][[User talk:Pyrope|<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;color:#CE2029">e</span>]] 17:50, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

:@Pyrope: Thanks for pointing that out. I have rephrased the few sentences I added to this article, and hopefully none of them now look like close paraphrasing, although to be honest I was surprised by the example you quote above. I thought I had rewritten it in my own language; just shows how easy it is to unconsciously follow what you have read. If you see anything else there, please tell me. - [[User:Chris j wood|chris_j_wood]] ([[User talk:Chris j wood#top|talk]]) 10:50, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks!<!-- Template:uw-editsummary --> [[User:Ritchie333|<b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b>]] [[User talk:Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)</sup>]] 15:17, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

:Sorry, but I'm afraid I've never held with using the comment box to precis what I've changed (surely that is what the diff is for). I do use it if I feel I need to explain why I've made the change, but not if the rationale for the change is obvious. So you will see that my edits are either commentless, or have attached essays, but rarely anything in between. As you havn't actually seen fit to tell me which edit of mine triggered this missive, I obviously cannot comment on the specific case. (PS. what does ''ce'' mean; the only meaning I associate with those letters is [[Christian Era]], but I don't see how that relates to your edit to [[The Angel, Islington]]). -- [[User:Chris j wood|chris_j_wood]] ([[User talk:Chris j wood#top|talk]]) 15:41, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

::It takes much longer to work out whether an edit is any good or not without a summary, and leaves it prone to being reverted. "ce" means "copyedit" and used by many editors who work at [[WP:FAC|Featured Article Candidates]]. [[User:Ritchie333|<b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b>]] [[User talk:Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk)</sup>]] [[Special:Contributions/Ritchie333|<sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)</sup>]] 15:55, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

:::So a bad edit with a misleading comment is less likely to attract attention than a good edit without a comment. I'd be very interested to know exactly how knowing that an edit was a copyedit makes it easier to tell whether it is a good edit or not. Incidentally, I do know that ''mos'' stands for manual of style, but I havn't managed to find anything in said manual of style that suggests that a References section with subsections References (that actually contains annotated references) and Sources (that actually contains unannotated book details) is preferable to separate sections called References and Bibliography. To my eyes, the latter seems both more elegant, and also a more common layout in other articles. Perhaps you could point me at the appropriate section. -- [[User:Chris j wood|chris_j_wood]] ([[User talk:Chris j wood#top|talk]]) 16:07, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

::::Just because you think something is elegant / common, it does not mean others share your view. {{ping|Nikkimaria}} can answer the question about why the References section is formatted the way it is (something to do with accessibility), I can't remember. Anyway, there is no reason to nitpick over pointless trivia. This conversation is over, have a nice day.

:::::So if you really stand by your initial, and I have to say rather patronising, remarks on the need for comments, your reversion of my edit to [[The Angel, Islington]] should have had a comment that, instead of just reading ''mos'', read ''somebody once told me this was bad, I cannot remember why, but you could try asking Nikkimaria.'' Humm. Ok, rant over. Have a nice day too. -- [[User:Chris j wood|chris_j_wood]] ([[User talk:Chris j wood#top|talk]]) 16:36, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
::::::[[MOS:LAYOUT]] suggests that "Bibliography" is best avoided as a heading in this context. I think though based on the mention of accessibility [[User:Ritchie333|Ritchie]] may be recalling my objection to <nowiki>;Sources</nowiki> rather than <nowiki>'''Sources'''</nowiki> ?

Revision as of 14:02, 11 July 2017


Request for FAC review

Hello Chris,

I've launched a candidacy for featured article for Palais Rohan in Strasbourg, but so far I've only been getting the rough treatment for the images and strictly nothing on the content: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Palais Rohan, Strasbourg/archive1. You did care about exactly that kind of article and place a while ago, which I remember fondly since it encouraged me to edit resolutely. Could you maybe have a look into the candidacy? I would be very grateful and it would be good for Wikipedia, too. All the best, Edelseider (talk) 08:42, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Green Park Business Park

The article Green Park Business Park has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not seeing evidence of WP:GNG. Excessive detail based on primary sources (or unsourced), and some routine coverage. I see the wind turbine has received some minor coverage that isn't actually coverage of the business park (and not quite enough to carry notability on its own).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:41, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. The article certainly needs work, but I think that common sense suggests that a business park with dozens of buildings, hundreds of acres of grounds and thousands of employees ought to be notable. For now, I have replaced the proposed deletion with a refimprove, and made some improvements (actually wholesale deletion of the gazateer-like info). I will work on finding some more secondary sources; I'm sure they are there but the trick is finding them in the volume of real estate sales and marketing material. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 19:45, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Rodda

For an explanation of my change to Matt Rodda, please see WP:NICKNAME, " Notable distinctions can be explained in the article, but avoid (for example) adding a nickname, or a contracted version of the original given name(s), in quotes between first and last name. For example: Bill Clinton, not William "Bill" Clinton." Edwardx (talk) 12:45, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Original research

With reference to my revert of this edit. If you read the edit summary you will discover that the edit was made on the personal observation of the person making the edit. This most certainly is original research and is not permitted. -- 86.149.141.8 (talk) 13:23, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Except that Wikipedia:No original research prohibits the inclusion of information in a Wikipedia article based on original research. And the edit you reverted did not add any information to the article, so it cannot possibly have violated that prohibition. What it did was remove information for which there was no cited source within the article. Admittedly the originator of that edit didn't help by over-justifying the removal; all (s)he really needed to say was 'removing uncited information'. As a matter of politeness, I've added the cite needed template to the article (both in lead and detail) to give you or others a chance to come up with a source for the line not operating on public holidays (I did look for myself, but failed to find anything), but if a source is not forthcoming it will inevitably be deleted. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 13:36, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise the claim was unreferenced. -- 86.149.141.8 (talk) 13:23, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but what claim?. The edit you reverted was purely a deletion; no claim was added. Wikipedia requires sources for all information included in an article. Sources are not required for removing information from an article, especially where that information is itself unsourced. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 13:43, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
