| ::Great. I was there in the summer. Such a gorgeous place. Just a note that edit summaries of changes help all us other editors so much - enabling us to see quickly how the article develops and make head and tail of changes. Also, as far as I know, all images on WP are still right aligned by default, unless it's a pic of a face looking right, in which case it's placed on the left. I hope that helps.

| :::Glad you liked it. I know I can be poor on edit summaries; my overall average isn't bad, but when I'm doing a major re-write, I struggle to remember. As to images, not sure I'd agree that all aligned right would be best, or is a requirement. Would it not be a little repetitive? But still playing around. Best regards. ] (]) 17:54, 7 October 2018 (UTC) | |||
| ::::] it's a good idea as some browsers process left and right aligned images differently. I think it makes it easy for the reader to scan as the eye knows where the images will be. I always place images well away from a heading else the formatting gets all odd. But I'm not much on WP because I get caught up with such infinite considerations and it gives me a headache.

| Lordy, you have done a lot of work. It seems the team did great work together. The article is beautifully written and very thorough. I had a few thoughts to offer; no biggies, but things to consider, perhaps; in no particular order. | |||
| * I had read that Long Barn was Vita's first major garden and there she did a lot of experimentation, taking deep lessons she applied at SGC. So it could be said that Long Barn was a major inspiration for SGC - and hence they have a strong connection. | |||
| * There seems to a strong and clear dynamic between Vita and her husband, whereby she had all the money and the creative vision and he was a broke, minor diplomat. All the money for SCG came from her, as you mention, but the power/aristo differential was always present. | |||
| *Vita took up writing her ''Observer'' column because the couple were broke. As I have read, it was specifically this column that caught the public imagination and lead to miles of traffic jams on local roads. It might be good to give a scale of the garden's wild fame at its peak. | |||
| *I was struck by the garden design with "vertical axes". Lol. I suspect some readers might take the phrase the wrong way, though I love the medieval idea. ⚒ | |||
| *As a rose lover I am always hearing that above all roses. (I have planted them in my garden in honour of her). . It might be churlish not to mention the docteur. | |||
| *Re the National Trust, did the couple originally plan to leave a significant 'endowment' with the house? The article suggests so. I would be surprised. | |||
| *Lastly, the article section is a slightly clunky para, that contrasts with the rest of the flowing prose. Two very long sentences with various subclauses, could be smoothed out. | |||

ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:24, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Your revert on Ted Hughes
Regarding this revert, as stated in the Manual of Style section at Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Biography#Nicknames, a nickname is only included in quotes if "it is not a common hypocorism". This rule is observed at such featured articles as Charlie Chaplin, Alec Douglas-Home, Tom Driberg, Walt Disney, Tom Derrick, Bill Denny. Bob Feller, Terry Fox and many others. The formatting can be done done differently, as at Bob Dylan, but putting an obvious hypocorism (such as "Ted" for Edward) in quotes is generally not regarded as an option. William Avery (talk) 13:07, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Your revert on Ninon de l'Enclos
I've restored my edit on Ninon de l'Enclos. The relevant policy is not WP:DICT but WP:LINK - unlike, for example, the word "author", the word "courtesan" is not a common word (see here for evidence), and it's reasonable to assume that many readers—particularly those whose first language is not English—would benefit from having the word linked. — The Anome (talk) 09:13, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- WP articles are not there to explain to people what common nouns mean. They can look it up in a dictionary. Anna (talk) 01:37, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
