Useful post.There is no reference to any of these facts in Hills 1989. Can you find a few to back up your arguments and then we can integrate all this into the rticle- it will be stronger with it. --ClemRutter (talk) 16:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, it is good to see someone looks at the articles I work on! I just wondered what the point of the gbmappingsmall template, which you have added to the point of interest table, is. It seems to take me to an unintelligible page of mapping options, where, if I can work out what to press, I can eventually see just one point in its geographic location, rather than all of the points on the same map. I'd be pleased to understand the logic of it. Regards. Bob1960evens (talk) 16:26, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
((gbmappingsmall))
template is one of a group which allow an OS grid ref to link to a page (GeoHack) from which you can select a mapping utility. This GeoHack page is exactly the same as the one linked from ((coord))
, a template which takes latitude/longitude - the only real difference is the way that the coordinates are specified. Note that since both ((gbmappingsmall))
and ((coord))
produce code to link to the GeoHack page, both will give the blue globe icon. The GeoHack page gives a choice of several mapping utilities, rather than one, for at least three reasons: (i) ((coord))
could pinpoint a location anywhere in the world, but not all mapping utilities cover everywhere in the world; (ii) different mapping services provide different kinds of detail, which are of varying relevance to the article concerned; (iii) different people prefer different types of map (I liked MultiMap, I don't like Bing); (iv) to favour one above others could run foul of WP:LINKSPAM. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:24, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Hi, Thanks for the note on the Stamford talk page.

You added a fact template to the article 1753, stating that the fact that Sweden adopted the Gregorian calendar on March 1 doesn't agree with the linked article. However, the article Gregorian calendar states: "Sweden finally adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1753, when Wednesday, 17 February was followed by Thursday, 1 March." So, how do you mean that it doesn't agree with the linked article? /Ludde23 Talk Contrib 16:29, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Re the above category, I wanted to let you know that I've started a full CFD discussion here. I wanted to notify you because I didn't copy the comments made at CFD speedy, so you may want to post a new comment in the new discussion. I explained my rationale in a bit more detail.

I noticed you added the maths rating template to a few article talk pages. When you do, please fill in all three of the parameters "class", "priority", and "field" per the template docs. The math project already has a List of mathematics articles, and so we don't need to tag the talk pages just to know that the articles exist. The only reason to add the ((maths rating)) template is to assess the article's quality, priority, and field. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, you can leave off the maths rating template, and someone else will get to it eventually. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:56, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I notice that you rated this article as a "C", with a note that it needed more refs to be a "B". It is now nearly twice the length, with everything referenced, so wondered if you would care to cast another eye over it, to see whether it has reached "B" class?

I have now managed to obtain a copy of Wheeler (1896), and it mentions that Kate's Bridge is Catebrigge in Appendix I, but there is no translation of that. In view of your note, do you know in which language Cate is Bishop? And is there anywhere where it says this? Bob1960evens (talk) 21:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply! I never knew there used to be two stations in Stamford, and I suppose my teacher didn't either. From the map it hardly seems like there's any space for a separate line heading east, with the surviving Midland one very near the river. — FIRE!in a crowded theatre... 09:59, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Robert. I noticed that you have nominated Sleaford Navigation, Grantham Canal and Stamford Canal for GA assessment. I am afraid that I cannot review them myself, as I have been a major contributor to their content in the past, but if I was reviewing them, I think that Sleaford is close to GA standard, but would have some concerns over the other two. For GA, an article needs to be "broad in its coverage", and I think the lack of a "Route" section in both would probably fail on this count. In addition, the lead on the Stamford article is too short for GA, while the Grantham article has two or three paragraphs with no refs at all, and I think the lead is still a bit short. I have fixed several dead links on the Sleaford article, but am a bit pushed to help with a Route section on the other two at the moment. Bob1960evens (talk) 12:56, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I'm willing to do a GA review at Talk:Stamford Canal/GA1. Are you still interested? I see from the note above that you have 3 articles nominated - I could probably do all three at once if you desire. --Noleander (talk) 01:57, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Robert. I’m interested in the criteria you use to assess a place article. Do you have your own, or is there a WP guideline of what is what ? I tend to think that if an article has about 5+ reliable refs, with two or three paras of info (not one sentence per para), and perhaps with sections (but not one sentence per section), this seems about right to elevate a stub. But I’m not entirely sure. I notice that you assess importance too. What do you consider constitutes start, mid or high levels of importance for the Lincolnshire Project ? Can you offer any advice ? Many thanks. Acabashi (talk)

Twice in the past few days you've cropped up on my watchlist, first editing Lincoln Castle and now Bolingbroke Castle. Is your main interest castles or Lincolnshire?

Hi, I noticed that you have a good track record of responsible editing, and have added a couple of user rights to your account. Keep up the good work!
Hi Robert EA Harvey, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Fayenatic London 08:53, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
I have granted rollback rights to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Fayenatic London 08:53, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

On 21 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article St John the Evangelist's Church, Corby Glen, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that St John the Evangelist's Church, Corby Glen (pictured) has extensive early 15th-century wall paintings? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi Robert. Please accept my apologies, I was a little hasty. Having translated several of these "Road" is sometimes used and there were one or two websites using it in this case. However, further research has revealed that this is part of an EU project and they and their German colleagues as well as a number of national German tourist sites are using "Route of Megalithic Culture" as the official name, so I have revised the title and added appropriate references. Are you planning to translate the German article? --Bermicourt (talk) 07:45, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Robert. I've run through the refs for this one, but I can't seem to fix ref 24 to the mobile library, which doesn't connect for me. I wonder if you would like to take a look at this. Thank for the expansion here. Acabashi (talk) 10:21, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
%20
but I can't test it because the whole site http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/ seems to be down. When it's back up, the ref link will need re-testing, and may need tweaking to use a +
instead of the %20
