Cuddington Heath

Hi. I'm just making an article about Cuddington Heath which should explain the matter a bit more. Basically the village is called 'Cuddington Heath' but the actual civil parish is called 'Cuddington'. In this case the parish has no substantive settlements, so the articles Cuddington, Chester will just be a redirect to Cuddington Heath, but I think the disambiguation should stay. Cuddington should link to all Cuddingtons, indeed, whether they be heath or not. I guess also it should link to Coddington, which is also nearby in Cheshire ;) Morwen - Talk 23:21, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Request for your opinion

Good morning AJP! I noticed you've edited a topic related to Jimmy Edgar somewhat recently, and was hoping to collect viewpoints on an aesthetic issue. If you had a minute to contribute to the discussion/vote on the infobox photo, that would be very helpful. Earflaps (talk) 11:02, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Teenage Cancer Trust

Hi, I noticed your change to Teenage Cancer Trust article. Just for information the trust web site is stretching the truth here as Castle Hill is not actually in Hull but it is in Cottingham which is in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Cannot correct the article as the reference is wrong! Keith D (talk) 23:54, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Keith D: Thanks for the info. I agree it pushes the boundaries of Hull somewhat, but I thought it fitted "28 units in cities including..." better than Cottingham, and I hoped the reference would help. I also encountered Greater Hull while pondering my edit, so it seems Hull can be tricky to pin down! AJP (talk) 19:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for sorting out the name. Someone had put in a new link to the full name but I got a warning it was unsafe. I said on the talk page that it was being edited by WP:SPA's but they have now broadened their scope ..to include my user page!

External links

Hi, Could you please stop removing the external links from {{Official website}} - There's no need to remove the external links and infact it makes like much easier if for instance the template malfunctions in one way or another, Thanks. –Davey2010^Talk 19:14, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I've only just noticed you were partially reverting my edits. I won't be making any more such edits. I thought using {{Official website}} without any parameters was the preferred "basic usage" according to the template's documentation, as it means the links are centralised on Wikidata. Swings and roundabouts, I suppose. AJP (talk) 19:23, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AJP, No worries, As your other edits were helpful I thought just reverting here would be a dickish move, I hadn't realised the template docs state it's fine however in the 4-5 years of being here I've never once seen it just be "{{Official website}}" without link part, My worry is the template may assume a website is that persons when it's not so as a precaution I personally like to add the links but as I say I've never seen the template just used on its own,

As for the Wikidata thing - Anyone can easily vandalise it and the problem is the vandalism will go unnoticed so again as a precaution I would rather not rely on Wikidata especially when nothing's ever checked or reverted,

Thanks for your reply it's greatly appreciated, Happy editing :), –Davey2010^Talk 19:56, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_4ZpNGA76Hi19FnD&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 13:22, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Disambiguation link notification for February 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Luke Evans (politician), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dorchester (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Postcodes

Hi, I was wondering where you getting your postcode info. Taking Yarkhill for example, postcode finder only seems to have Hereford HR1. The odd one that Google finds like HR8 2TY and HR8 2UG should have the village as Lower Eggleton. Cavrdg (talk) 15:14, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think my info originally came from ONS Postcode Directory or some derivative. I downloaded a massive CSV file some time ago. It has 18 postcodes listed for Yarkhill, of which half are HR1 and half are HR8. It perhaps depends whether civil parishes or other administrative divisions are used? I added HR1 to the Yarkhill article, but I agree with your removal of HR8. I see you also found an incorrect post town for Middleton on the Hill that I had missed. Thanks.

Ben Adams (police commissioner) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Ben Adams (police commissioner). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. C F A 💬 20:53, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ben Adams (police commissioner) (May 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Chetsford was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is potentially WP:N, however, further sources are needed to demonstrate that. Per WP:POLOUTCOMES, articles about local officeholders or unsuccessful national candidates are unlikely to survive AFD in the absence of WP:SIGCOV beyond WP:RS related purely to their campaigns or offices.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ben Adams (police commissioner) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
