In compliance with NFCC rationale, and some input, I've lessened the use of copyrighted album images on this subject, 10 is/was a bit much.

Dr. Blofeld: I understand that you have an interest in red links for Dutch people. Would you mind moving this translation to mainspace? You'll find there's plenty of work to do. While you're at it, perhaps you can created the currently red-linked category, Category:Cemeteries in Amsterdam. The cemetery is chock full of Rijksmonuments, so notability is a given.

Right now I'm working on getting together e-mails on all, yes, all, the encyclopedias and dictionaries I find reviewed in the various databanks I have access to. With luck, these will then be able to be added to the relevant project pages, and, maybe, we could create separate lists for each project of the articles related to that project found in the various books, maybe even with citations for each. I tend to think that might help both establish notability of the subjects, as well as make it easier to create and develop those central articles. Regarding assessment, unfortunately, right now, my time is pretty much occupied getting the e-mails of the various reference books together. When I'm done, hopefully by the end of the month, I can send them out to the interested projects and get a bit more to articles. But there are I think about 20,000 such encyclopedias and dictionaries I know of, so I don't think that there will be any problems for interested editors in developing content once they're done.

Evening Dr B. Hope you're well. I have a puzzle which MartinEvans and I thought you may be able to help with. I've given some details on the above page about Pen-y-Clawdd Court and listed it as a Grade I Listed building in Monmouthshire. But I now think the details I've quoted refer to another Pen-y-Clawdd Court. My doubts arise from, firstly, the fact that RCAHMW lists Pen-y-Clawdd Court as being in the parish of Llanvihangel Crucorney, which plainly the Court between Raglan and Monmouth isn't, and, secondly, because the description in RCAHMW, and the pictures from a link I've found here [ [2]], don't look at all like the Pen-y-Clawdd Court I photographed a few weekends ago. But Newman's Monmouthshire only lists one Pen-y-Clawdd Court and his description "notable only for the nobly scaled red brick arch close up to the road" definitely does match the house I photographed, the pictures of which I was going to upload until I got cold feet.
So, I think there are actually two Pen-y-Clawdd Courts. But why does Newman not list the one near Abergavenny, which looks much more interesting and which I think is Grade I, but does list the one near Raglan which he acknowledges is only notable for its gate? Can it be that he's overlooked the more important of the two? I'd really appreciate any thoughts you may have. I shall also go and ask Ghmyrtle as he's got a lot of local knowledge.
As an aside, when shall we push Burges forward? We could tinker/add for ever but it might be better to do that in response to FA reviewing? Let me know what you think. Best regards. KJP1 ( talk) 19:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Doc,
I notice you signed up for the recent JSTOR application page, which'll be great if access can be sorted.

Hi Simon. I haven't, nope. Usually I'm quite spoiled by google books but occasionally JSTOR turns up some detailed articles which in google books only turns up scraps and its frustrating not being able to read the full articles. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Terrific R&H site. As for The avengers i looked at the first episode Hot Snow in my Avengers Book and found the following not listed in the wikipage above. Charles Wade, Alister Williamson, Astor Sklair, June Monkhouse, and Robert James. I think a lot will be red lined. I will look at some more episodes. As for the episode list it always surprises me there are no writer/director credits as is standard. REVUpminster ( talk) 21:00, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello Blofeld, thanks for the invite to participate in developing individual articles for the Avengers episodes. I think the best thing to do is for yourself to construct a prototype page for one episode to act as a template for others to follow. Once a format is arrived at, all that should be required is to add the relevant header, plot and cast list etc. to each page. If you want to allocate me some episodes to do I will have a crack at it.

I didn't but I did look at that box set and saw it was £146 earlier this morning. I have Randall and Hopkirk Deceased all on DVD but not Avengers. I saw an episode the other day on one of the digital channels and made me want to see them all! I'd forgotten how much I used to love the Avengers. Man from UNCLE was pretty cool too. I'm going to start the episodes which need dabbing first otherwise the red links will probably be removed by the time I get to them in the hatnotes.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:02, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

I recently suggested that Template:Did you know nominations/Guy Kabeya Muya, Entre la coupe et l'élection could be turned into a quad. Maybe that was a mistake - feel free to back it out - it seems unrealistic to expect anyone to review four articles these days. But in November 2010 we had the case of the ten U's, all nominated, reviewed and approved as one entry. Something in the mood has changed since then. It seems sourer, somehow, more a question of pushing through entries against opposition than working together to get a list of interesting hooks. Do you have that feeling or is it just me? Aymatth2 ( talk) 19:54, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I completely agree with you. Its become petty. I strongly disappoved of QPQ from the moment it was proposed. Luckily they simplified the nomination process so i began contributing again. When you forget to do a review you always get somebody leaving a "QPQ please" and it comes across as really petty, sours the atmosphere as you say. You contribute four articles, why should you be expected to review four articles is the way I see it. It is surely off putting in regards to motivation. If you want to turn it into a quad I'll renominate, just suggest and hook and the articles you want. I don't mind reviewing what is needed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
A million thanks for including me in the DYK award. I am chuffed and honoured! I didn't add that much but really had to search for it, and it got me into doing the article on the Changtang Nature Reserve, so I will gratefully accept the recognition. It will be a welcome addition to my awards page.
Just the night before last I sent the files for a much-revised 2nd edition of my first book, The Jade Gate to Rome, on the Hou Hanshu off to the publishers – but I think it will probably be months before they get it on the market. I am very excited to finally send it off! It is to be published in Singapore.
Now, I will start work to get a another book I have been working on for many years ready for publication. It is an annotated translation of the 3rd century Weilüe, which also deals with the Silk Routes but has more details on the Roman Empire and also a bit on the maritime trade between China and Egypt and the East African coast.
Me old back is keeping me pretty well glued to my bed so I am very fortunate to have these projects or I would die of boredom.

On to Tehran Prov, where several planned communities have village status (probably to be promoted eventually), including 1 with over 60,000 population.

This "shabby town" (as one guidebook put it) is now closed to tourists and is no longer a stopover for buses on the route between Golmud and Lhasa, so my books have very little on it.

The merest scraps. I think it's "Hadnock Court House" (RCAHMW) and "Hadnock Court" (BLBO). If so, it's Grade II listed.

If you're looking for a country that could stand some work, Paraguay's a good one to look at. There aren't even by-department categories for about half the country...leastaways not beyond the ones I've created over the past few days. And a lot of the articles are bloated and poorly translated, and need paring, pruning and categorization. I've been trying to put some of the categorization to rights over the past week, and I may be able to do a bit more today, but I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have for it. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?

Salve, maestro! As a result of your recent encouragement, I have added my name to several languages on your interwiki translation project. I think you already have a pretty good idea of the areas I am interested in: all aspects of culture, related biographies, history, geography... I would be happy to help out with shorter articles on a fairly regular basis but would prefer to have the opportunity of translating from scratch rather than having to edit the mess that often comes out of Google Translate. In most cases I like to go back to original sources rather than simply providing word-for-word translations of badly referenced articles from the other languages. Most of my recent articles and biographies have been written in this way even if stubs have often existed on the other wikis. As for longer articles, unless there are high priorities, I would normally like to be able to choose them myself but would appreciate guidance on what is important. In this connection, is there any index of English Wikipedia red links tied to existing articles in other languages? I would be particularly interested in links to GA or B-rated articles in the other languages. I realize I am asking a lot at this stage but would like to benefit from your expertise before embarking on such a time-consuming venture. I look forward to our continuing cooperation. - Ipigott ( talk) 21:12, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi again, Dr. Blofeld--
I'm finding a small mystery, and wonder if you might have any possible suggestions. I have a CD that I'm trying to catalog: Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab MFCD-920, licensed from the Russian recording company Mezhdunarodnaya Kniga (C)&(P) 1992, of several Brahms works for four-hand piano, performed in 1975 by Viktoria Postnikova and Gennady Rozhdestvensky.
These include Op. 23, Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, for piano four-hands (1861), and Op. 39, Sixteen Waltzes for piano, four hands (1865). The mystery on this disc is the third item, variously described in two different places in the insert as, on the back cover:
and in the main insert notes, written by Victor Ledin, 1992, and edited by Marina A. Ledin, 1992, as:
The above text is as given, missing the appropriate diacritics and with different spellings, but with my two underscores. I'm always distrustful of information on a back cover, which is nearly always prepared by someone who has no idea what is actually on the disc. Note that although five pieces are described here, only numbers 2 through 5 are on the disc, and these don't match up with the descriptions.
In any event, none of this is listed at either List of compositions by Johannes Brahms by opus number or at List of compositions by Johannes Brahms by genre. And Wikipedia draws a blank for any combination of G. W. or G. B., Marks or Marx. Any ideas? Thanks for any help. It would seem that in any case Marx/Marks ought to be mentioned here in WP if the above note is correct about the pseudonym being frequently used. Milkunderwood ( talk) 07:52, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Dr. Blofeld: I understand that you have an interest in red links for Dutch people. Would you mind moving this translation to mainspace? You'll find there's plenty of work to do. While you're at it, perhaps you can created the currently red-linked category, Category:Cemeteries in Amsterdam. The cemetery is chock full of Rijksmonuments, so notability is a given.

Hey there. I was wondering if you could take a look at Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Mythology of The X-Files, Volume 1/archive1; several of the articles in the nominated topic are ones you reviewed at GAN for me so your input would be really helpful. WP:GTC really seems to have stalled so any additional input might help to give it a nudge into movement again if you have the time to drop by. Thanks for any insight you might be able to add; and let me know if you've anything that needs looking over or reviewed. GRAPPLE X 00:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Right now I'm working on getting together e-mails on all, yes, all, the encyclopedias and dictionaries I find reviewed in the various databanks I have access to. With luck, these will then be able to be added to the relevant project pages, and, maybe, we could create separate lists for each project of the articles related to that project found in the various books, maybe even with citations for each. I tend to think that might help both establish notability of the subjects, as well as make it easier to create and develop those central articles. Regarding assessment, unfortunately, right now, my time is pretty much occupied getting the e-mails of the various reference books together. When I'm done, hopefully by the end of the month, I can send them out to the interested projects and get a bit more to articles. But there are I think about 20,000 such encyclopedias and dictionaries I know of, so I don't think that there will be any problems for interested editors in developing content once they're done.

Evening Dr B. Hope you're well. I have a puzzle which MartinEvans and I thought you may be able to help with. I've given some details on the above page about Pen-y-Clawdd Court and listed it as a Grade I Listed building in Monmouthshire. But I now think the details I've quoted refer to another Pen-y-Clawdd Court. My doubts arise from, firstly, the fact that RCAHMW lists Pen-y-Clawdd Court as being in the parish of Llanvihangel Crucorney, which plainly the Court between Raglan and Monmouth isn't, and, secondly, because the description in RCAHMW, and the pictures from a link I've found here [ [2]], don't look at all like the Pen-y-Clawdd Court I photographed a few weekends ago. But Newman's Monmouthshire only lists one Pen-y-Clawdd Court and his description "notable only for the nobly scaled red brick arch close up to the road" definitely does match the house I photographed, the pictures of which I was going to upload until I got cold feet.
So, I think there are actually two Pen-y-Clawdd Courts. But why does Newman not list the one near Abergavenny, which looks much more interesting and which I think is Grade I, but does list the one near Raglan which he acknowledges is only notable for its gate? Can it be that he's overlooked the more important of the two? I'd really appreciate any thoughts you may have. I shall also go and ask Ghmyrtle as he's got a lot of local knowledge.
As an aside, when shall we push Burges forward? We could tinker/add for ever but it might be better to do that in response to FA reviewing? Let me know what you think. Best regards. KJP1 ( talk) 19:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Doc,
I notice you signed up for the recent JSTOR application page, which'll be great if access can be sorted. In the meantime, have you ever asked for articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request; I find the guys there are very helpful in providing me with the odd journal article when I really think it'll advance what I'm working on. Best regards, Simon Burchell ( talk) 20:46, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Simon. I haven't, nope. Usually I'm quite spoiled by google books but occasionally JSTOR turns up some detailed articles which in google books only turns up scraps and its frustrating not being able to read the full articles. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Terrific R&H site. As for The avengers i looked at the first episode Hot Snow in my Avengers Book and found the following not listed in the wikipage above. Charles Wade, Alister Williamson, Astor Sklair, June Monkhouse, and Robert James. I think a lot will be red lined. I will look at some more episodes. As for the episode list it always surprises me there are no writer/director credits as is standard. REVUpminster ( talk) 21:00, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello Blofeld, thanks for the invite to participate in developing individual articles for the Avengers episodes. I think the best thing to do is for yourself to construct a prototype page for one episode to act as a template for others to follow. Once a format is arrived at, all that should be required is to add the relevant header, plot and cast list etc. to each page. If you want to allocate me some episodes to do I will have a crack at it. ( A. Carty ( talk) 08:57, 5 April 2012 (UTC))
I didn't but I did look at that box set and saw it was £146 earlier this morning. I have Randall and Hopkirk Deceased all on DVD but not Avengers. I saw an episode the other day on one of the digital channels and made me want to see them all! I'd forgotten how much I used to love the Avengers. Man from UNCLE was pretty cool too. I'm going to start the episodes which need dabbing first otherwise the red links will probably be removed by the time I get to them in the hatnotes.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:02, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

I recently suggested that Template:Did you know nominations/Guy Kabeya Muya, Entre la coupe et l'élection could be turned into a quad. Maybe that was a mistake - feel free to back it out - it seems unrealistic to expect anyone to review four articles these days. But in November 2010 we had the case of the ten U's, all nominated, reviewed and approved as one entry. Something in the mood has changed since then. It seems sourer, somehow, more a question of pushing through entries against opposition than working together to get a list of interesting hooks. Do you have that feeling or is it just me? Aymatth2 ( talk) 19:54, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
I completely agree with you. Its become petty. I strongly disappoved of QPQ from the moment it was proposed. Luckily they simplified the nomination process so i began contributing again. When you forget to do a review you always get somebody leaving a "QPQ please" and it comes across as really petty, sours the atmosphere as you say. You contribute four articles, why should you be expected to review four articles is the way I see it. It is surely off putting in regards to motivation. If you want to turn it into a quad I'll renominate, just suggest and hook and the articles you want. I don't mind reviewing what is needed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
A million thanks for including me in the DYK award. I am chuffed and honoured! I didn't add that much but really had to search for it, and it got me into doing the article on the Changtang Nature Reserve, so I will gratefully accept the recognition. It will be a welcome addition to my awards page.
Just the night before last I sent the files for a much-revised 2nd edition of my first book, The Jade Gate to Rome, on the Hou Hanshu off to the publishers – but I think it will probably be months before they get it on the market. I am very excited to finally send it off! It is to be published in Singapore.
Now, I will start work to get a another book I have been working on for many years ready for publication. It is an annotated translation of the 3rd century Weilüe, which also deals with the Silk Routes but has more details on the Roman Empire and also a bit on the maritime trade between China and Egypt and the East African coast.
Me old back is keeping me pretty well glued to my bed so I am very fortunate to have these projects or I would die of boredom.

3 provinces down (OK, 2 were small but about 10 of 31 are small as well). On to Tehran Prov, where several planned communities have village status (probably to be promoted eventually), including 1 with over 60,000 population. Now that's a big village, considering a number of Iranian cities in the far flung outer provinces have fewer than 1000. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 20:07, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I finally got around to doing a little on Amdo County and town. This "shabby town" (as one guidebook put it) is now closed to tourists and is no longer a stopover for buses on the route between Golmud and Lhasa, so my books have very little on it.

The merest scraps. I think it's "Hadnock Court House" (RCAHMW) and "Hadnock Court" (BLBO). If so, it's Grade II listed. I thought it may have been the "Old Court" in Pevsner, Herefordshire p.319, Whitchurch (boundary change?), "Quite large stone house of the 16th to 17th centuries in the form of an irregular E." But I'm not so sure. Does this look like an irregular E? [6]. Doubt it's worth a page, but I could certainly put a line or two in Other on The Doward if you like. Let me know.

Dr. Blofeld, The German Wikipedia has a nice article on this subject. I posted a long time ago asking for volunteers to interpret the article. It would be a good addition.

If you're looking for a country that could stand some work, Paraguay's a good one to look at. There aren't even by-department categories for about half the country...leastaways not beyond the ones I've created over the past few days. And a lot of the articles are bloated and poorly translated, and need paring, pruning and categorization. I've been trying to put some of the categorization to rights over the past week, and I may be able to do a bit more today, but I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have for it. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?

Salve, maestro! As a result of your recent encouragement, I have added my name to several languages on your interwiki translation project. I think you already have a pretty good idea of the areas I am interested in: all aspects of culture, related biographies, history, geography... I would be happy to help out with shorter articles on a fairly regular basis but would prefer to have the opportunity of translating from scratch rather than having to edit the mess that often comes out of Google Translate. In most cases I like to go back to original sources rather than simply providing word-for-word translations of badly referenced articles from the other languages. Most of my recent articles and biographies have been written in this way even if stubs have often existed on the other wikis. As for longer articles, unless there are high priorities, I would normally like to be able to choose them myself but would appreciate guidance on what is important. In this connection, is there any index of English Wikipedia red links tied to existing articles in other languages? I would be particularly interested in links to GA or B-rated articles in the other languages. I realize I am asking a lot at this stage but would like to benefit from your expertise before embarking on such a time-consuming venture. I look forward to our continuing cooperation. - Ipigott ( talk) 21:12, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

De nada, but I have to say I really think its best to merge into the main article. The sources all concern the trust and there isn't anything biographical on him..♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:39, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi again, Dr. Blofeld--
I'm finding a small mystery, and wonder if you might have any possible suggestions. I have a CD that I'm trying to catalog: Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab MFCD-920, licensed from the Russian recording company Mezhdunarodnaya Kniga (C)&(P) 1992, of several Brahms works for four-hand piano, performed in 1975 by Viktoria Postnikova and Gennady Rozhdestvensky.
These include Op. 23, Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, for piano four-hands (1861), and Op. 39, Sixteen Waltzes for piano, four hands (1865). The mystery on this disc is the third item, variously described in two different places in the insert as, on the back cover:
and in the main insert notes, written by Victor Ledin, 1992, and edited by Marina A. Ledin, 1992, as:
The above text is as given, missing the appropriate diacritics and with different spellings, but with my two underscores. I'm always distrustful of information on a back cover, which is nearly always prepared by someone who has no idea what is actually on the disc. Note that although five pieces are described here, only numbers 2 through 5 are on the disc, and these don't match up with the descriptions.
In any event, none of this is listed at either List of compositions by Johannes Brahms by opus number or at List of compositions by Johannes Brahms by genre. And Wikipedia draws a blank for any combination of G. W. or G. B., Marks or Marx. Any ideas? Thanks for any help. It would seem that in any case Marx/Marks ought to be mentioned here in WP if the above note is correct about the pseudonym being frequently used. Milkunderwood ( talk) 07:52, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
