Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:22, 16 September 2009

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

From time to time, I clean up this talk page simply by removing items. Discussions here do not usually contain anything of lasting importance, and therefore I do not keep a separate archive.

WP:LANCS

Hello there 93gregsonl2! Thanks for your contributions to England's northwest. I have suggested a strategy for the WP:LANCS WikiProject you set up to incorporate Cumbrian content also. This is, by chance, inline with a discussion about lapsed county projects at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_England#Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Greater_South_East. I would welcome your input at the WP:LANCS talk page. --Jza84 |  Talk  15:17, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

You beat me to it!

Just noticed Southport gas holder. I was going to create this article a few weeks back, but never got around to it. :) Small-town hero (talk) 23:31, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I created it quite a few weeks back, but please try to improve it. I am looking forward to your contributions. 93gregsonl2 (talk) 07:43, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

WP:Good Articles

Hi, I just noticed this edit. Anyone can assess an article from stub-class to B-class, but anything above that, such as Good Article or , needs to undergo community assessment via WP:GAN or WP:FAC. Unfortunately, we can't assess articles ourselves as GA or FA. Also, thanks for the award on my talk page. I'll try to help out as much as I can with the project and it's good to see some enthusiasm on the talk page. Nev1 (talk) 18:04, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

On a related note, I've just downgraded a couple of other quality assessments of yours. Unfortunately I worded my edit summaries rather strongly, so I apologise. To explain, I had momentarily forgotten the scale goes up from C to A and thought it went up from A to C. Stupid of me. So I thought things were much worse than they really were. I can't go back and reword my summaries. Sorry.

However, as far as I can tell, you are still relatively new to Misplaced Pages so I'd like to suggest you take a back seat from quality assessment for a little longer until you have a bit more experience under your belt, and then start at the bottom and work your way up. In my own case, even though I've been editing for several years now, I feel qualified only to issue "stub" and "start" assessments. I feel I haven't yet studied the assessment criteria closely enough to issue higher assessments.

Although it's not against the rules, I would also suggest, as good practice, that inexperienced assessors ought not to assess any article they have made a significant contribution to, except at the lowest levels of the scale.

I hope you are not offended by my mentioning this. It is my personal view and others might disagree. I welcome your enthusiasm, and as soon as I've finished writing this, I'm going to sign up to the Lancs & Cumb wikiproject. -- Dr Greg  talk  18:30, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

I would just like to say thank you for what you said on my talkpage. I fully undersatnd what you said and I will take it on board as I want to get it right. But I am still 100% the main man in WikiProject Lancashire and Cumbria93gregsonl2 (talk) 18:46, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Really? Then I wish you luck in doing it all by yourself. --Malleus Fatuorum 21:15, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

No not by myself, I mean I am still incharge (which I know that Misplaced Pages is for everyone to use). But I call most of the shots. If you undersatnd what I mean. 93gregsonl2 (talk) 21:20, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't know what you mean actually. Seems to me like your project isn't for me. --Malleus Fatuorum 21:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar, that's my second one now :-) Just improved the Lostock Hall article with even more extensive details. Hopefully the article is looking better for readers doing research. Cheers! Gareth aka Pr3st0n (talk) 20:03, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
