Wales Map
I wouldn't go as far as saying you were a nuisance just picky, which we're all guilty of at times. I see we share a common education in geography, quite sad that these days cartography isn't a feature of most degrees and tends to be covered if at all in GIS modules. I was registered at one point, however, I found that it starts to consume a lot of my time and most of what I like to do I can do unregistered and without the various added extra that result in one staying on longer than planned. 81.111.119.98 (talk) 20:29, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- I've updated the map a bit, still a few thing to do, but it's looking a little better now!81.111.119.98 (talk) 17:53, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- Also have done a very rough elevation map of height above 600 feet. I've placed both below so its easier to see. 81.111.119.98 (talk) 18:11, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- Done a few minor updates and added the severn in along with moving Newport. I tried to add St David's but it just didn't sit very well in the map as it either went all over the national park section or was left floating of the end. I'll re-draw snowdonia in a few days time as I'm a tad busy for the next two/three weeks.81.111.119.98 (talk) 20:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Literature of Wales (Welsh language), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Welsh literature. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:36, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Lost/ extinct settlements
Thanks for your comment and interest. Huwmanbeing has been supportive and, from a purist point of view, I agree. Have a look at my response, however. There was already a cat "Lost settlements in Northamptonshire" which included abandoned villages, so that meaning of "lost" (no longer in occupation, location known or unknown) was already was already understood. Also, Dunwich is lost in any sense, although we know its location - as with various Dutch former settlrments.
There's already cats that cover various sub-groups of "lost" or "extinct" settlements: Sunken cities, Ghost towns, Hill forts, etc, and it seems appropriate to draw these together, so I disagree that the family of cats is "not very useful". But is your criticism of purpose or of name? Huwmanbeing's diagreement is over the name - yours extends to purpose.
Trellech is marginal here, IMO. The abandonment of a settlement and its resettlement nearby, eg Verulamium/ St Albans, leaves a lost settlement on the original site; the destruction of a settlement and its resettlement some time after, eg, Medeshamstede/Peterborough, also means that there was a "lost" settlement. An important settlement that implodes into a small one is debatable; there's continuity on site, but not in essence. Trellech sounds like this.
I'll copy this ramble to the the original location. Folks at 137 (talk) 11:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Hallelujah and Alexandra Burke
Since there is an ongoing discussion in the talk pages of Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen song), I wondered why you'd chosen to go ahead and take action to add the section about Alexandra Burke and her singing of it. There seem to be fairly compelling reasons not to have the section (lack of useful information, unfair to other covers, not valid constitution of recognition) and I so I ask you why you chose to reinstate it without consulting the editing community. ggt500 17:06, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- It's a question of getting the right balance, which is difficult at this stage with the X Factor show just completed and the single not yet physically released. Your edit downplayed the winner's version, and other edits overplayed it. I tried to find an appropriate balance - but the chances of stability at this point in time are zero. Good for Cohen's bank balance anyway. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:23, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- You can remove it now since I see you've removed the chart positions. I still think the infobox seems to make her version more notable than the others, but when this calms down in a few weeks the article can be cleaned up properly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riksweeney (talk • contribs) 10:56, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Okay, i've watchlisted the page and will now keep a close eye on it! You should'nt need to worry about the 3RR though. Vandalism reverts are exempt from it. JS (chat) 21:10, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thats a fair point. Happy to help :-) JS (chat) 21:15, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
RE: Silures
"If you wish to propose or make substantial changes, please raise them on the talk page for agreement first. But any changes you make to verbatim quotes will be reverted. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)" Would this be the citation which mentions that the Britons rather than simply the Scots, the Welsh and Irish? Or would this be the citation which claims that the Britons the Irish , the Scots and the Welsh are not Celtic, but probably the original inhabitants of Europe?. Read Sykes and Oppenheimers work/books regards genetic origins. And get back to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.248.31 (talk • contribs) 10:50, 22 December 2008
Butt Rock
Uh, thanks. I saw that on the article and brilliant old me removed bias and added a fact tag. I don't know why it didn't occur to me it was crap, I'm usually sharper than that. Thanks for catching that. Zazaban (talk) 21:50, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Owain's explanation for Wentloog seems to be different? I had thought it was from Gwent llwych Martinevans123 (talk) 16:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Aha! No, I think that theory's been disproved - I'll search out the references. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well, there's this and this - I suspect that I've read a fuller explanation in a book rather than online. By the way, I'm sure I read that Gwynllŵg was originally part of Glamorgan, not Gwent, anyway. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:00, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. And we'll see what Owain says. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

DYK nomination issue

Since Wisdom is in a care home and suffering from dementia, it's near impossible for him to return to acting. His family and official news sources have called it his final role (and he even came out of retirement to play that one). Perhaps you can agree on a different hook? - Mgm|(talk) 13:24, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Barbara Brennan
I have nominated Barbara Brennan, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barbara Brennan. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. ScienceApologist (talk) 07:07, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!
~Geaugagrrl talk has bought you a pint! Sharing a pint is a great way to bond with other editors after a day of hard work. Spread the WikiLove by buying someone else a pint, whether it be someone with whom you have collaborated or had disagreements. Cheers!
Thanks again for all your help swith Cors Caron :) ~Geaugagrrl talk 13:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you
The article you created, Barbara_Brennan maybe deleted from Wikipedia.
There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:
The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.
There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:
- You can list the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. If you need help listing your page, add a comment on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
- You can request a mentor to help explain to you all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted, here: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond on the deletion page.
- When try to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
Here is a list of your own acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.
Acronyms in deletion debates are sometimes incorrectly used, or ignore rules or exceptions. - You can merge the article into a larger or better established article on the same topic.
If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. Good luck! travb (talk) 22:00, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
JLS
Hi, could you please help me keep an eye on the disam page JLS? JLS fans seem to be ignoring the fact that JLS already have an article here and keep changing the disam page into another JLS article. Cheers! John Sloan's IPavoider (talk) 18:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Ayn Rand
Hi, I've filed an RfM on Ayn Rand, including as parties only those who've recently edited the article. However, as you've commented on talk, you might want to be involved too. If so, please add your name to the list of parties at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Ayn Rand. Cheers, SlimVirgin talk|contribs 02:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm staying well out of it, thank you very much. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
