Hi Jowaninpensans - I see that the London Welsh liquidation has caused a number of edits that have affected the consistency of the page. For instance, the attendances for London Welsh have all been removed from the Info box - I will have to add back which is a bit of pain. Do you think we need to have something in place to prevent this happening in future? I don't really want to get involved in policing the rugby union articles but we do need some kind of guidelines. BTW great victory for All Blacks last Saturday - good to have BJ Chapman back for the best performance of the season! ( Jgjsmith006) 17:45, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
New page added for Cornish and Launceston legend, Jimmy Tucker. I am sure there are quite a few gaps in his career that I have not accounted for, so as always, feel free to include anything I have missed. Cheers. ( Jgjsmith006) 10:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Do you know what is going on with the Clubs Cup this season - from the Cornwall RFU website it seems that they are reorganizing it into four competitions? Also seems a bit quiet on the Cornwall Cup front as well - the website is still only showing 2014-15 results. ( Jgjsmith006) 10:27, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
Jowaninpensans - when you have the chance I have created a page for Matt Shepherd. I have a couple of queries regarding him, primarily with when (and if) he played for Perranporth as well as when he started with St Austell (I have put 2009-10). Also if you have any more information on the Cornish Rebels rugby league side, who Shepherd played for, such as any games I have missed then that would be appreciated. At the moment I am looking to create and update Cornish and Devon club pages - I have done St Austell RFC, Penryn RFC and Bude RFC recently so appreciate any info you can supply that I have missed. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Jgjsmith006) 11:11, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
While on the subject of the CRFU Cornwall Cup - did it have it's inaugural season in 1969 or was it earlier? The reason I ask is because of this article [1] which states that Penryn won a version of the Cornwall Cup in 1965. I am in the middle of creating an article on Penryn at the moment. BTW outstanding result on the weekend - seven tries!!! We may still beat the drop. Cheers. Jgjsmith006) 17:10, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Had this pop up on several of the player pages I have created ( Gary Kingdom being one such example) - Kieron Lewitt was considered ok. I presume this is based on the rugby union page stipulations that players need to have international or Premiership experience to be deemed notable. This could potentially affect a lot of the south-west rugby union pages. Do you think we need to re-evaluate the rugby union guidelines or just leave them be? To be honest I had this pop up in other Wikipedia subjects and it was so much hassle it put me off editing for a year - I just want to edit not spend all my time policing pages.

Hi Jowaninpensans - bit of a weird query with Penryn RFC. All the Cornish club pages I have created have appeared in Google Chrome search apart from Penryn RFC which doesn't appear even if you type Penryn RFC wikipedia. It is strange because the image I used for the ground is displayed on the Google search but not the wiki page. Ever heard of this happening? Cheers. ( Jgjsmith006) 20:14, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans - good day to you. I was wondering if you knew what Alex Ducker's dob was was as he was at the Pirates albeit very briefly (you may have a handbook from 2014 with this detail)? I know it was 1993 but not sure on day/month - will try clubs if you don't know. With regards to the rugby this weekend it seems that there is an important match for Pirates against Doncaster today (best of luck) with an outside shot at the top 4. We lost 17-18 yesterday thanks to a Brixham conversion in injury time - if only Honey had kicked his then we would have won but that's sport - Lydney lost as well so we still have a slight chance if we can beat them at theirs next Saturday. Enjoy the rest of the weekend Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 12:04, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Not sure if the Rugby Paper is right on the London Irish attendance being the biggest. Jersey had 3,648 for a game against Rosslyn Park back in the 2011–12 National League 1 season.

Hi Jowaninpensans - last time I spoke to you Launceston still had a chance to get out of relegation but they blew it at Lydney. At least we can compete for the Cornwall Cup next season (if they take it seriously). I had a question regarding the Cornwall Clubs Cup Plate competition. This is obviously for teams that have gone out at earlier stages of the Clubs Cup competition but do you know if this is a recent trophy or if in previous seasons teams played for it? I will update winners if you have the information. Thanks. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 17:22, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans - it seems that the RFU are renaming the National 3 leagues to London & SE Premier, South West Premier etc. Do you know how we can quickly change the page names to the new ones? I have cut and pasted new pages and deleted old ones but apparantly that's not how you do it. Regarding Independent unfortunately they have closed after 250+ years of publishing. Know any good local alternatives? Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 13:29, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Now that the Independent is back you wouldn't know the result for Redruth Albany v Perranporth in the Vase final? No result on Cornwall RFU website (which frankly is a pretty awful website for a county RFU) or Trelawny's Army. If not, maybe some news will filter down eventually.

Hi Jowaninpensans I have been updating promotion play-offs for all the leagues including history for Cornwall and Devon 1. I don't know if you did the original play-offs but I have changed page to reflect other's but I have used original material from this page as part of play-offs and hidden the rest so feel free to add your own input - hope this is ok.

Hi Jowaninpensans - long time no talk - hope all well. I have gone and renamed National League 3 South West to South West Premier which is now the name of the division (will do the other regional divisions). I thought I'd let you know if you were wondering where they had got to. I have tried to make sure all changes have been made but four eyes are better than two so if you spot anything let me know! Cheers. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 13:31, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
Not the south-west but thought I'd give you a a heads up with regards to more RFU changes for this season. Seems that London 3 North East has been split and renamed to London 3 Eastern Counties and London 3 Essex. With what the Independent on Sunday was saying we will probably need to keep an eye on the Cornish leagues as they will surely be changed once more. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 23:26, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
Dear Jowan, at 2 pm this Thursday, 10th August, there is a practice presentation of the above title at Helston museum - just below the guildhall - to which you are welcome to attend. At the end of it, any constructive criticism is welcomed. Obviously, when you have read this you are welcome to delete it. The result of the presentation proved that I as taking up the geomorphologist's theories was wrong, with sufficient evidence to eliminate the null hypothesis 'H0' that Helston's Loe Bar was thrown up way before the 13th century!
Also, I can thank you for removing the detail about "Tywarlo" simply because it is unattested whether the "lo" syllable meant 'pool' or 'inlet'. Andrew H. Gray 12:09, 14 August 2017 (UTC) Andrew ( talk) Regarding: "nonsence" I do not understand what you mean - have you carried out research? Are you aware that not I but recently someone locally discovered part of the port barrier wall at the rear of Zacharias Bridge at the foot of Porthleven hill in Helston at the far side of the Cober to the left of Coronation lake - the stones of mediaeval form commence beneath the Cober with a shear drop above this wall top so it had to be built before the Cober was there!

Jowaninpensans. Hi - hope you are well as always. I am trying to find a map of south-west England to use for our rugby pages but the nearest available covers the south of England. I can't work out how to modify existing maps to show this information so thought you might??? It would be great if we could get one down as it would make it a lot easier to put teams on without having three different county maps in some cases. Will be at Polson tomorrow for Camborne friendly - first home game of season so will be interesting to see how both teams do. Cheers. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 18:48, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Jowaninpensans. Hi, hope all well. I have noticed that the league table templates (see RFU Championship) are not updating properly. For instance, Bristol's result against Pirates was updated last Sunday to reflect points from two games. It shows the updated version in the code but not actually on the page. This has happened with the N2N and N2S pages as well - everything seems to take ages to displayed. Any ideas? Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 09:09, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:35, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans. Have created a page for the former Cornish powerhouse known as St Ives RFC. Had a query regarding the South West Premier page which lists Henley Hawks as runners up to Reading during the 1992-93 season (then known as South West 1). The St Ives RFC webpage states that they finished as runners up to Reading that season but they never joined them in the Courage League Division 5 that was implemented the following season. Do you have any information on this? Thanks. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 22:00, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
See the article talk page for my solution of the problem - I just wanted to come here to thank you for asking the question and coming up with the extra newspaper mentions which were vital in helping me work it out, I have greatly enjoyed researching it, and have learnt new things and discovered interesting resources for future reference (both on and off Wikipedia) along the way.

Hi Jowaninpensans - hope all is well. Just to warn you that an editor is going through all the National League 2 South and North pages and removed the rugby competition templates from the bottom of the page, without giving a reason or leaving a note. I think it is being done in good faith but the National League 1 pages are likely to be next. I have left a message on their talk page and am reverting the changes but it is worth keeping an eye on as it has taken some time to get these pages as consistent as possible.

Hi Jowaninpensans. Have created page as shown above. If you have any references or further information for this season then please add. Launceston away at 2nd placed Drybrook today.

Hi Jowaninpensans. I think that you produced some of the winner details for London 1 South in the early years of the competition when it was known as London 2 South. Do you have any details for the London 2 North competition around the same time? Would great to get this completed as there are a lot of blanks. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 16:56, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans - hope all is well. I have noticed a big difference between the Rugby Paper attendances and the NCA when covering the National Leagues. Esher RFC seem to suffer from the biggest difference in attendance between the two sources as the examples below show:
You can see that there is a big difference - hundreds rather than units. I have contacted Esher and hopefully they will get back to me. Hinckley had the same issue but the other way round, where NCA were underestimating and the chair said the Rugby Paper were (more) correct. Wonder why there is such a difference?

Hi Jowaninpensans - hope you are well. I have a query regarding the honours section of the London & SE page where borders are not displaying properly (it is very noticable).

A bit further away but you may be the man to help thanks to your collection of RFU handbooks. I am bashing my brains out over the historical northern league structure, which makes the South West divisions look relatively straightforward. I have contacted the Northern RFU and have some information but it is a laborious process for them to provide me with league tables as everything needs photocopying. I was wondering if you had information on winners, runners up and relegated sides for these divisions or their alternatives at tier 6 - North Division 2, North 2 East, North Lancs/Cumbria etc - in the periods 1987-1998?

Hi Jowaninpensans - hope all well. I have created pages for this years County Championship including the big one. Hopefully will be able to get to the games at Redruth and Camborne. I have seen Launceston at these grounds but not Cornwall (in fact I have never seen Cornwall at a live game) so looking forward to it. We had a pretty decent season at Polson in finishing 3rd, albeit way off the top two (Drybrook and Exeter University) who we lost to home and away, and disappointing to lose out on a cup final (I missed the loss away to Wadebridge Camels) but it sure beats relegation. Will be interesting to see how next year goes. Cheers. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 19:57, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Going through all the leagues to add champions, relegated teams etc and have spotted that Western Counties North has no results details for 1997-98 season.

Hi Jowaninpensans. Visited Redruth today and got a few photos and made a capacity estimate; 3,500 (580 seats). One of the staff said that police had given a recent estimate of 3,000 but I think the ground can take more. Be good to see how it looks tomorrow. Will be in to watch game but shooting back to Launceston straight after (relying on lift+dinner later) but can meet up at game for chat. Will be dressed in camouflage shorts and matching fishing hat so should stand out (although I am 5.6 so you may have to look down if you are taller). Cheers.

Hi Jowan. I have a couple of questions you may be able to answer. First do you know if the County Championship has two sides relegated from each group? The Independent said that Devon were relegated despite beating Cornwall - now seeing that they are ahead of Surrey that makes me assume that both they and Surrey go down next season but I am not 100% sure. Secondly, do you know what has happened to the Cornwall Clubs Cup? No information anywhere. Cheers. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 11:53, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Maybe this is the record in the Championship for Jersey. Let me know what you think? Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 22:24, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jowaninpensans - last time I spoke to you Launceston still had a chance to get out of relegation but they blew it at Lydney. At least we can compete for the Cornwall Cup next season (if they take it seriously). I had a question regarding the Cornwall Clubs Cup Plate competition. This is obviously for teams that have gone out at earlier stages of the Clubs Cup competition but do you know if this is a recent trophy or if in previous seasons teams played for it? I will update winners if you have the information. Thanks. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 17:22, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans - it seems that the RFU are renaming the National 3 leagues to London & SE Premier, South West Premier etc. Do you know how we can quickly change the page names to the new ones? I have cut and pasted new pages and deleted old ones but apparantly that's not how you do it. Regarding Independent unfortunately they have closed after 250+ years of publishing. Know any good local alternatives? Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 13:29, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Now that the Independent is back you wouldn't know the result for Redruth Albany v Perranporth in the Vase final? No result on Cornwall RFU website (which frankly is a pretty awful website for a county RFU) or Trelawny's Army. If not, maybe some news will filter down eventually.

Hi Jowaninpensans I have been updating promotion play-offs for all the leagues including history for Cornwall and Devon 1. I don't know if you did the original play-offs but I have changed page to reflect other's but I have used original material from this page as part of play-offs and hidden the rest so feel free to add your own input - hope this is ok.

Hi Jowaninpensans - long time no talk - hope all well. I have gone and renamed National League 3 South West to South West Premier which is now the name of the division (will do the other regional divisions). I thought I'd let you know if you were wondering where they had got to. I have tried to make sure all changes have been made but four eyes are better than two so if you spot anything let me know! Cheers. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 13:31, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
Not the south-west but thought I'd give you a a heads up with regards to more RFU changes for this season. Seems that London 3 North East has been split and renamed to London 3 Eastern Counties and London 3 Essex. With what the Independent on Sunday was saying we will probably need to keep an eye on the Cornish leagues as they will surely be changed once more. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 23:26, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
Dear Jowan, at 2 pm this Thursday, 10th August, there is a practice presentation of the above title at Helston museum - just below the guildhall - to which you are welcome to attend. At the end of it, any constructive criticism is welcomed. Obviously, when you have read this you are welcome to delete it. The result of the presentation proved that I as taking up the geomorphologist's theories was wrong, with sufficient evidence to eliminate the null hypothesis 'H0' that Helston's Loe Bar was thrown up way before the 13th century!
Also, I can thank you for removing the detail about "Tywarlo" simply because it is unattested whether the "lo" syllable meant 'pool' or 'inlet'. Andrew H. Gray 12:09, 14 August 2017 (UTC) Andrew ( talk) Regarding: "nonsence" I do not understand what you mean - have you carried out research? Are you aware that not I but recently someone locally discovered part of the port barrier wall at the rear of Zacharias Bridge at the foot of Porthleven hill in Helston at the far side of the Cober to the left of Coronation lake - the stones of mediaeval form commence beneath the Cober with a shear drop above this wall top so it had to be built before the Cober was there!

Jowaninpensans. Hi - hope you are well as always. I am trying to find a map of south-west England to use for our rugby pages but the nearest available covers the south of England. I can't work out how to modify existing maps to show this information so thought you might??? It would be great if we could get one down as it would make it a lot easier to put teams on without having three different county maps in some cases. Will be at Polson tomorrow for Camborne friendly - first home game of season so will be interesting to see how both teams do. Cheers. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 18:48, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Jowaninpensans. Hi, hope all well. I have noticed that the league table templates (see RFU Championship) are not updating properly. For instance, Bristol's result against Pirates was updated last Sunday to reflect points from two games. It shows the updated version in the code but not actually on the page. This has happened with the N2N and N2S pages as well - everything seems to take ages to displayed. Any ideas? Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 09:09, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:35, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans. Have created a page for the former Cornish powerhouse known as St Ives RFC. Had a query regarding the South West Premier page which lists Henley Hawks as runners up to Reading during the 1992-93 season (then known as South West 1). The St Ives RFC webpage states that they finished as runners up to Reading that season but they never joined them in the Courage League Division 5 that was implemented the following season. Do you have any information on this? Thanks. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 22:00, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
See the article talk page for my solution of the problem - I just wanted to come here to thank you for asking the question and coming up with the extra newspaper mentions which were vital in helping me work it out, I have greatly enjoyed researching it, and have learnt new things and discovered interesting resources for future reference (both on and off Wikipedia) along the way. DuncanHill ( talk) 04:46, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
Sure I can't tempt you? 900 article in ten days and still very few UK women bios being done, WMUK are putting up a £250 prize for that, you could sitll win that ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:46, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans - hope all is well. Just to warn you that an editor is going through all the National League 2 South and North pages and removed the rugby competition templates from the bottom of the page, without giving a reason or leaving a note. I think it is being done in good faith but the National League 1 pages are likely to be next. I have left a message on their talk page and am reverting the changes but it is worth keeping an eye on as it has taken some time to get these pages as consistent as possible. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 11:28, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans. Have created page as shown above. If you have any references or further information for this season then please add. Launceston away at 2nd placed Drybrook today. Too ill to attend but will keep an eye on Twitter feed. We play Exeter University at home the next week (they are 1st) so this could make or break our season! Thanks.

Hi. I've noticed that quite a lot of the new article you've created on Euura spp. make mention of the Euura altra group, but does not cite any evidence to support this. I was wondering if this is a recurring typo for E. atra? Could you also correct the main reference url in Euura auritae, as this week-old link is dead. Many thanks.

Hi Jowaninpensans. I think that you produced some of the winner details for London 1 South in the early years of the competition when it was known as London 2 South. Do you have any details for the London 2 North competition around the same time? Would great to get this completed as there are a lot of blanks. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 16:56, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans - hope all is well. I have noticed a big difference between the Rugby Paper attendances and the NCA when covering the National Leagues. Esher RFC seem to suffer from the biggest difference in attendance between the two sources as the examples below show:
You can see that there is a big difference - hundreds rather than units. I have contacted Esher and hopefully they will get back to me. Hinckley had the same issue but the other way round, where NCA were underestimating and the chair said the Rugby Paper were (more) correct. Wonder why there is such a difference? Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 14:32, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans - hope you are well. I have a query regarding the honours section of the London & SE page where borders are not displaying properly (it is very noticable). I have tried resolving this in my sandbox (which works) but when the table is pasted back into the London & SE page it reverts back to having no borders. Wonder if you have any ideas? Cheers and good luck to Pirates today - hopefully they can qualify for the quarters. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 14:48, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

A bit further away but you may be the man to help thanks to your collection of RFU handbooks. I am bashing my brains out over the historical northern league structure, which makes the South West divisions look relatively straightforward. I have contacted the Northern RFU and have some information but it is a laborious process for them to provide me with league tables as everything needs photocopying. I was wondering if you had information on winners, runners up and relegated sides for these divisions or their alternatives at tier 6 - North Division 2, North 2 East, North Lancs/Cumbria etc - in the periods 1987-1998?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Frederick John Horniman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Freehold ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi Jowaninpensans - hope all well. I have created pages for this years County Championship including the big one. Hopefully will be able to get to the games at Redruth and Camborne. I have seen Launceston at these grounds but not Cornwall (in fact I have never seen Cornwall at a live game) so looking forward to it. We had a pretty decent season at Polson in finishing 3rd, albeit way off the top two (Drybrook and Exeter University) who we lost to home and away, and disappointing to lose out on a cup final (I missed the loss away to Wadebridge Camels) but it sure beats relegation. Will be interesting to see how next year goes. Cheers. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 19:57, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Going through all the leagues to add champions, relegated teams etc and have spotted that Western Counties North has no results details for 1997-98 season. Have you got any details of this year from handbooks, press releases? Also no info on relegated sides for 1996-97 season. Thanks. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 11:42, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Jowaninpensans. Visited Redruth today and got a few photos and made a capacity estimate; 3,500 (580 seats). One of the staff said that police had given a recent estimate of 3,000 but I think the ground can take more. Be good to see how it looks tomorrow. Will be in to watch game but shooting back to Launceston straight after (relying on lift+dinner later) but can meet up at game for chat. Will be dressed in camouflage shorts and matching fishing hat so should stand out (although I am 5.6 so you may have to look down if you are taller). Cheers.

Was around that area but did not see you. Not sure if I will be at Camborne - will let you know. Jowaninpensans ( talk) 19:19, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi Jowan. I have a couple of questions you may be able to answer. First do you know if the County Championship has two sides relegated from each group? The Independent said that Devon were relegated despite beating Cornwall - now seeing that they are ahead of Surrey that makes me assume that both they and Surrey go down next season but I am not 100% sure. Secondly, do you know what has happened to the Cornwall Clubs Cup? No information anywhere. Cheers. Jgjsmith006 ( talk) 11:53, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
