Good morning Hchc2009. Do you have any appetite currently to look to move Cardiff Castle to FA? I'm casting around for a post-Chartwell project and CC is an obvious choice, although Chequers and Cragside are also tempting. Given its iconic status in Cardiff, I think it would generate a fair bit of interest. Not a problem at all if you're not interested, or have other articles on the go that you'd rather focus on. But it could be interesting, if you were of a mind to do it. All the best. KJP1 ( talk) 09:25, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
I've set up one here. Hchc2009 ( talk) 07:05, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
Right - I think it's now sfn'ed. Hope that's ok, it's the only one I can work with. Just a quick query on your schedule. I've got a busy couple of weeks and then I'm abroad from mid-October to the end of that month. I'd say I need a couple of weeks to pull the architecture together. Does a late Nov/early Dec PR work for you? KJP1 ( talk) 16:49, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
Hey! So I know I disappeared off the face of the Earth during the ACR (real life, lack of sleep, etc) but I've just picked up Rochdale Cenotaph again. I'm hoping to take it to FAC but I want to address your outstanding concern about the chronology from the ACR first. When you have a minute, could you compare it to User:HJ Mitchell/Sandbox3 and see if you think the draft is an improvement? Also, if you find the time, I'd really appreciate your feedback on Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Manchester Cenotaph. And if I can repay the favour, just let me know. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:02, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Hope you don't mind me using your talk page to think out loud. It's starting to feel like I'm making some headway on my memorials project! Six have made it to featured article and four are in the pipeline (Rochdale, Manchester, Mells, and Edward Horner), which leaves just five with FA potential to go (Leicester, Southampton, Tower Hill, the Royal Naval Division, and the Civil Service Rifles), though there's an outside chance that the Lancashire Fusiliers War Memorial and the South African War Memorial, Richmond Cemetery could make the grade with a bit of work and scouring of the sources. The Fusiliers memorial would be especially pleasing to do given Lutyens' personal connection. At the current rate, five (or seven) featured articles might still take months or even another year or so—Manchester took me quite a while and I'm expecting Leicester to be another big project and Whitehall could be mammoth judging by the ever-growing pile of books on my coffee table. I finally caved and spent £35 on a copy of Hussey's The Life of Sir Edwin Lutyens I had no idea how big it was!.
Anyway, when I eventually do finish those, I want to write some sort of overview article to tie together all the strands that are spread across 40-something articles but I'm slightly lost as to what to call it or how to scope it. I see two options: Edwin Lutyens and the First World War (or some variation) which I worry might be plagiarising Tim Skelton, or Edwin Lutyens and war memorials with a narrower scope which could have a sister article like Edwin Lutyens and the Imperial War Graves Commission. I'd love to do the man's biography, but Hussey weighs nearly as much as I do so that really would be an undertaking! Looks like I've got a lot on my plate, especially if I want to do some non-Lutyens memorials ( Bristol Cenotaph is a red link for example!)! I'd love to hear any thoughts you had when you've got time; I'll ping KJP1 and Carcharoth as well because they've both followed this project at various points. PS, I left some comments at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/North-West Mounted Police in case you haven't seen them. And PPS, have you considered taking the Royal Artillery Memorial to FAC? Sorry for the brain dump; hope you don't mind. All the best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:35, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
@ Carcharoth: Thanks for that, that could be useful. As mentioned above, Hussey is huge and the war memorials don't get extensive coverage but I'll mull it over. Thiepval is very much on my list, but I was planning on doing all his English memorials first, of which I've got five left, including Leicester, Southampton (though Hchc has done the bulk of the work there already), and of course Whitehall, all of which are extensively covered, so it's unlikely to be this side of Christmas. I wouldn't mind being beaten to it or collaborating if you were up for it. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:33, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
HJ Mitchell - "Lutyens and his English War Memorials"? Or, slightly more pompous, "The English War Memorials of Sir Edwin Lutyens"? It narrows the scope - although not by that much! - allows for a complementary "The Overseas War Memorials..." down the line, and both would make nice bookends to Edwin Lutyens, perhaps with an "Indian Architecture of Sir Ed.....", when we're drawing our pensions. Give us a shout if you need help, or anything from Pevsner. Spent an interesting half hour at the Rochdale memorial yesterday, but the light was no good for photos.

Was there one? If so, do we know of a location which, I'm guessing, is Rochford, Essex? I saw that there may be one in the section of this very good article that a friend of mine has written. I used to live nearby and was curious; obviously, I thought I'd come to the most knowledgeable person I know on the matter. Cassianto Talk 18:08, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello! :) As you've probably seen I've been tinkering with the Royal Artillery Memorial. I needed a small task I could get stuck into but still put down while I dealt with some things. I was only going to add a few books to the bibliography but I ended up adding about 500 words of prose as well (King has quite a lot on it). Do you have a copy of Jay Winter's Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning? I've been scouring mine but he doesn't seem to have anything to say about either the RA memorial or Jagger in general. It seems odd that such an important memorial would be completely ignored so I was hoping you might be able to sanity check me. And on the subject of that memorial ... would I be stepping on your toes excessively if I was to re-structure it slightly? I don't plan to re-write anything you've written, but I'd like to move some of the history section to the end so that the article finishes with the most recent events and its current status, and split what's left of the history section into two or three sections, including moving the first paragraph into a background section. I can mock up an example in a sandbox for you to criticise and hack at if you like. I'll defer to you because I know I get quite protective of 'my' articles when I write something that's actually decent! Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:11, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Hchc2009 – Since I had copy-edited United States Marine Corps Women's Reserve a few weeks ago, I have it on my watch list, and just now out of curiosity I looked at the GA review page at Talk:United States Marine Corps Women's Reserve/GA1. I'm glad you found the prose acceptable, and your comments contain valid points. There is one, though, that I think you might have made when distracted, and I thought I'd leave you a note here to give you an opportunity to correct it. After "well-written", you have two sections of comments, (a) and (b). About half-way through the (a) group, you wrote this:
Since "men" is the plural form of "man", there is no need to add an "s". It's already plural. Thus, the possessive apostrophe belongs after the plural word, "men". I believe it was correct as it was, and your suggested change is incorrect. If you agree, you might consider striking that one. Best regards, and Happy New Year! – Corinne ( talk) 15:46, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Just to let you know that I've added a few pass comments at Talk:Cooling_Castle/GA1. The article seems pretty good. I'm not sure if a GA Review is a collaborative process, so if I have stepped on your toes as the reviewer then I apologise. You are, of course, at complete liberty to revert my comments on the GA page. Cheers. FactotEm ( talk) 20:46, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Morning Hch, hope you're well. I think the Victorian castle is done. Can you have a look and see what you think. I wonder if a bit more on the post-Burges castle is needed in the Architecture section, or whether Grant etc. are sufficiently covered in the History? KJP1 ( talk) 11:33, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
The very moment that I saw the caption on your userpage photo of Framlingham, I thought: "aha! Fake Flues!" :) DBaK ( talk) 20:31, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited March West, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Alexander Mackenzie and American Indians ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

H, as you're about, I shall make a last attempt. Having done Cragside, I am in need of a project. I'd like to do Cardiff. If you are no longer interested, or really don't like my Victorian section, just let me know and I shall have a go on my own. But I would far prefer it to be the collaboration we originally intended.

Hello, Hchc2009.
I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project,
AfC, which is also extremely backlogged. |

Hello, Hchc2009 – Since I had copy-edited United States Marine Corps Women's Reserve a few weeks ago, I have it on my watch list, and just now out of curiosity I looked at the GA review page at Talk:United States Marine Corps Women's Reserve/GA1. I'm glad you found the prose acceptable, and your comments contain valid points. There is one, though, that I think you might have made when distracted, and I thought I'd leave you a note here to give you an opportunity to correct it. After "well-written", you have two sections of comments, (a) and (b). About half-way through the (a) group, you wrote this:
Since "men" is the plural form of "man", there is no need to add an "s". It's already plural. Thus, the possessive apostrophe belongs after the plural word, "men". I believe it was correct as it was, and your suggested change is incorrect. If you agree, you might consider striking that one. Best regards, and Happy New Year! – Corinne ( talk) 15:46, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
