Thanks re: Bob Marshall (wilderness activist)‎

Thank you for fixing the conversion templates and nonbreaking spaces and all of those fiddly things I still don't understand. I appreciate the attention to detail in which I need all of the help I can get. :) María (habla conmigo) 18:18, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

MOS images

Yes, that's true. In practice the style principle that is behind the guideline seems to apply to more than just second level headings, to me anyway. I was actually considering a proposal to remove that part of the guideline. VanTucky 19:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Cadair

Hi, I came across the article you created on Cadair just now. Could I ask you what is your source for this? I know of no such place and the OS map reference gives a blank on the OS map of the area (I know the small valley indicated). There is certainly no village of that name in southern Gwynedd. A farmhouse or inn maybe? Plenty of Welsh place names begin with Cadair - Cadair Idris/Cader Idris is a well-known mountain in that area. Anyway, to the best of my knowledge there is no village of that name, large or small, in Gwynedd. I've scoured several detailed maps for the general area, going by the location on the "Cadair" article's map and the grid reference, but again can find nothing to indicate it as a location of note or any other feature.

Thanks for the quick response. The mystery is solved. As for Cae Clyd, I've just tracked it with Google too and so managed to find it on the OS map of the area. It's just a couple of houses on the edge of Blaenau Ffestiniog, not a village or hamlet. I'm going to redirect it to the latter. Thanks again. Enaidmawr (talk) 22:53, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Cae Clyd

I'd also like to know where the village of Cae Clyd is. Sounds more like a field (cae) or farm. Again there is definitely no village of that name, as far as I know. Source please? :) Enaidmawr (talk) 22:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

202.89.51.43

This is a School IP, Just responding to a change that you made. I don't know how to report this to Misplaced Pages or whoever needs to know. Would you be able to ask if editing from here can be stopped? (I'm tired of searching through wikipedia and getting messages that people have been vandalizing)

I'l try to make a account later today so I can be more explicit —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.89.51.43 (talk) 02:10, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I was about to make a report, but saw you left a warning. You may have already seen, but all of his contribs are vandalism disguised by edit summaries. (I'm at work and can't spend any more time on this.) Best of luck.--Cube lurker (talk) 17:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

BTW, thanks for the user page revert.--Cube lurker (talk) 20:23, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

GA reviewer of the week

You'll still continue it, right? It seems that Derek.cashman (talk · contribs) is taking it on now. bibliomaniac15 20:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Hereford Road (restaurant)

Apparently, I was guilty of vandalism for mentioning that Misplaced Pages isn't the place to advertise ones business. Or maybe I'm wrong; perhaps every single business in the world now gets its own Misplaced Pages page. If you're an editor, DO YOUR JOB. Don't let Misplaced Pages go down the craphole. (Edit - thanks dude. I just don't like to see this place becoming a cluttered-up avertising kind of place!)

April 21

Hi, Epbr, long time no talk! Monarchy of the United Kingdom is on the mainpage on April 21 for Queen Elizabeth's birthday; it's an old Emsworth FA that needs a lot of attention, in case you have time to do anything before it hits the mainpage. (Also, Raul has a FAC up, Parallel computing and one reviewer mentioned MoS cleanup needs, in case you have any time for that.) All the best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:26, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Cite tidying

Thanks for your work on Peak Oil. One minor nitpick: according to Misplaced Pages:Citation_templates the page ranges don't need the "pp.", so it's "pages=23-25", not "pages=pp.23-25". The cite templates keep getting better. LeadSongDog (talk) 20:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

• Each ref needs to be consistently formatted, including the page numbers. Before my edits, there were instances of "pp. 93–94", "pp.96–97" and "890–897". The "pp."s needed to be added to the cite templates for the sake of consistency. Not all cite templates automatically add the "pp."s. Epbr123 (talk) 20:17, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Baldslow

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Baldslow, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MortimerCat (talk) 06:38, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
