I was also reflecting that SCG is a site of pilgrimage for lesbians internationally - a place of great significance given Vita's life, writing and garden creation. It will be even more so with the film set for UK release at some point this year. Adam Nicolson famously bemoaned "rivers of lesbians coming through that gate.” [3]. And yes, it is so.

While checking the Millennium Encyclopaedia of Worthing for something entirely unrelated, I remembered to look these up, and found some useful additional info. As the weather gradually improves I'll try to get a chance to walk down that way to work and take a better picture. Also, I think the new edition of Pevsner specifically covering West Sussex is due out this year (May/June?); if they are now mentioned I will update accordingly.

I would like confirmation that my edit has now made the text visible. I have removed all paragraph and double spacing. can you please advise if this is now OK for publishing? Can you see the text? We do have a general election coming in the next 3 months in Australia, and I would like to get this published for one of the candidates.

As you know, I'm not particularly active on Wikipedia at the moment, although I'm doing my best to ease my way back in. One article that I've been dabbling with during the past few months is Leslie Hylton, the sad story of a prewar West Indies Test cricketer who was hanged for murder in the 1950s. I've opened a Review thread on the article's talkpage, and a few of the usual suspects have added some useful comments there. I know it's not in your usual sphere of activity, but if you can see your way to reading the draft and letting me know what you think of it (spare no blushes) I'd be very grateful. In particular, does it tell the story in a way that will make sense to readers whose cricket knowledge is perhaps somewhat lacking? Your wisdom will be much welcomed.

Swan, Great to hear from you and I hope you are keeping well. I do indeed like Bron-y-de. Such a pity we don’t have a photo, of which the same could be said of Treverbyn Vean. I’m working on the Pacific Coast version of St Donat’s now, of which I have high hopes. Sometime, Cardiff Castle must be brought up to FA. It’s an unfortunate omission from Burges’s FA oeuvre.

Nature is pressing on in its process of obscuring photographers' views. I think you may have moved away from Tintern whilst another's flash of enthusiasm passed, so are unlikely to have a wish-list of pics before buds burst. I was near Ely last week for the first time in years but the precise conditions for a pic I have planned of the ship of the fens sailing on morning mist were not there. I can more often be available in a 20 mile radius from Bron-y-de. Best wishes. SovalValtos ( talk) 11:22, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello, KJP1. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Gurudev Gagandeep Vashist,".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac ( talk) 02:31, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Hearst Castle shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Chris Troutman ( talk) 18:45, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Hope all is well, KJP1. You were kind enough to offer to look this over when I'd finished the expansion?

On 15 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Watts Park, Southampton, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Watts Park, Southampton. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Watts Park, Southampton), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Thank you today for Sissinghurst Castle Garden, "created by Vita Sackville-West and her husband Harold Nicolson. Begun in the 1930s, by the time of their deaths it had become one of the world's most famous gardens. Its landscaping approach, a series of "garden rooms" within a formal structure, was innovative and remains influential. Its plant collection, particularly of roses, is renowned."! - Nice coincidence: I also have a garden image on my talk page. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:23, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Madresfield Court, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Malvern ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi - thanks for getting involved at my talk page, I didn't realise that you had created the (excellent) Cragside article - I read it prior to visiting while on holiday at Alnmouth a couple of weeks ago. I'd hoped to find a second hand Pevsner in Barter Books while I was there, but drew a blank :(. If you do manage to find anything it would be great if you could let me know; otherwise, I'll work up a draft based on what I've found already, and anything else Lou can provide, and will ask you to take a look before publishing it to make sure you agree there aren't any issues with the COI stuff.
On a different note... since you've clearly got a great deal of experience in writing quality articles about historic buildings, I wonder whether you'd be willing to do me a favour. I recently created Cullen Old Church - it's been assessed as C class, but hasn't actually been patrolled yet. If you've got time, I'd be grateful if you could patrol it, and perhaps give me any thoughts for ways to improve it. I'd like to get it to GA status if possible, any suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 08:42, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi - I got round to doing some work on Draft:Cragend Silo - would you be interested in taking a look? I haven't had anything more from Lou in the way of pictures or additinoal sources, but I've written up what I can based on what I found. Any thoughts? Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 17:49, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for your input. I created the page after noticing that all the chasers listed on this page
/info/en/?search=The_Chase_(UK_game_show)
for the UK and Australian versions of the show had individual entries. This includes, for example, this entry:
/info/en/?search=Cheryl_Toh
for an Australian "chaser" who has no credits other than this one.
Almost none of the chasers from other international versions have individual entries, though (with only 2 exceptions -- based on which criteria?).
In Germany, the local version is one of the most popular game shows on TV, with 2 to 3 million viewers per episode and a substantial social media following. All the chasers do, IMHO, qualify for notability in the "Entertainer" category (as laid out in
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability_(people)), since they have appeared on multiple TV shows on major German networks and even outside of Germany (similar to the appearances of the UK/Australian chasers). They have also won acclaim in quiz activities on an international level (European and World Championships), which clearly justifies entries in language versions other than German. On top, some of them have achieved notability in fields outside of quizzing and TV entertainment as well (i.e. fields of science and literature).
This draft was created by me as a "test balloon," meaning that -- once this article is improved, which I hope it will -- I intend to add individual articles for all other German chasers as well (except for Holger Waldenberger, who already has an entry), based on their respective entries in the German version.
I would very much appreciate your reconsideration in terms of fairness across the international versions of "The Chase". Thank you.

Hello, I was deeply upset by the recent comment you made about my sarcasm. I did not mean for the sarcasm to be so sarcastic that it was no longer interpreted as sarcasm by onlookers. I am afraid it is within my legal rights however as a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to be able to enforce lawful action as I am a jury and also I am a lawyer and also I am a retired police superintendent and I will simply not stand for anti-semitics or racicicism. However, I am also a very corrupt, bad, retired police superintendent and will therefore never try and enforce any lawful action against my fellow Wikipedians. According to the Bible and the Qur'an I have, therefore, not broken any wikipedia rules, thus your illegal threat about threatening me with a ban for a legal threat threatening someone sarcastically who threatened to revoke my edit is perfectly and sarcastically justified! Good day, and God save our gracious Queen, Gentleman!

Thanks for your recent thumbs up. By chance I came across a set of splendid images on the Cadw site, all of which appear to be in WP Commons, and many of which look as if they would be suitable when you come to write up your architectural notes. There's a plan there and a reconstruction that look as if they might be useful too. All of us seem to have drawn away from the Tintern project since March for one reason or another - the only way I could get back into it was to ration myself to an hour or two's work on the sections I'd proposed for myself now and then. I'll do the art and lit next, once I can get all my notes into coherent order. Meanwhile, it seems Rodney Baggins got savaged by an Administrator and bolted down his hobbit hole, judging by his March correspondance. Other editors told him to trust your tested expertise (and leave well alone?) I've left him a note to say I was active again, which will hardly encourage him back! I'll look forward to seeing what you make of the Cadw material. Sweetpool50 ( talk) 01:22, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
I'm blowed if I can see what's causing the problems on that page. I've tried a few things in preview, but I either make it worse or no better. That's always the problem with those pre-formatted tables. I never used them, I just used the standard table formatting which doesn't come with bits hidden in the background that can go wrong. It may be worth finding out who wrote the original table and asking them directly. Cheers, and sorry not to have been of any help! - SchroCat ( talk) 14:56, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

I was also reflecting that SCG is a site of pilgrimage for lesbians internationally - a place of great significance given Vita's life, writing and garden creation. It will be even more so with the film set for UK release at some point this year. Adam Nicolson famously bemoaned "rivers of lesbians coming through that gate.” [3]. And yes, it is so.

Afternoon KJP. I forgot to "ping" you in my response to your question on the help desk at Wikipedia:Help _desk#Naming conventions for articles about churches. Cheers, Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 13:35, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Please do not
attack other editors, as you did at
User talk:101.178.163.19. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please
stay cool and keep this in mind while editing.
Note: You can't really expect to make a serious case against their behaviour when you call them an "idiot" in a section title on their talk page about said compaint. Just sayin'... -

While checking the Millennium Encyclopaedia of Worthing for something entirely unrelated, I remembered to look these up, and found some useful additional info. As the weather gradually improves I'll try to get a chance to walk down that way to work and take a better picture. Also, I think the new edition of Pevsner specifically covering West Sussex is due out this year (May/June?); if they are now mentioned I will update accordingly. Cheers, Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:57, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
I would like confirmation that my edit has now made the text visible. I have removed all paragraph and double spacing. can you please advise if this is now OK for publishing? Can you see the text? We do have a general election coming in the next 3 months in Australia, and I would like to get this published for one of the candidates. Ali France is a new person on this scene and we want to make it easy for people to get information on her background. many thanks If a donation would help to expedite, please let me know.

As you know, I'm not particularly active on Wikipedia at the moment, although I'm doing my best to ease my way back in. One article that I've been dabbling with during the past few months is Leslie Hylton, the sad story of a prewar West Indies Test cricketer who was hanged for murder in the 1950s. I've opened a Review thread on the article's talkpage, and a few of the usual suspects have added some useful comments there. I know it's not in your usual sphere of activity, but if you can see your way to reading the draft and letting me know what you think of it (spare no blushes) I'd be very grateful. In particular, does it tell the story in a way that will make sense to readers whose cricket knowledge is perhaps somewhat lacking? Your wisdom will be much welcomed.

Happy new year old friend! You've done some marvellous writing recently, that Burges Cornwall house totally passed me by. I created Bron-y-de after a passing reference, I'm sure you'll love it. Keep turning the red pins blue! No Swan So Fine ( talk) 14:35, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Swan, Great to hear from you and I hope you are keeping well. I do indeed like Bron-y-de. Such a pity we don’t have a photo, of which the same could be said of Treverbyn Vean. I’m working on the Pacific Coast version of St Donat’s now, of which I have high hopes. Sometime, Cardiff Castle must be brought up to FA. It’s an unfortunate omission from Burges’s FA oeuvre. Take care and all the best. KJP1 ( talk) 16:51, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
This is to let you know that the Sissinghurst Castle Garden article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 18, 2019. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 18, 2019, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

Nature is pressing on in its process of obscuring photographers' views. I think you may have moved away from Tintern whilst another's flash of enthusiasm passed, so are unlikely to have a wish-list of pics before buds burst. I was near Ely last week for the first time in years but the precise conditions for a pic I have planned of the ship of the fens sailing on morning mist were not there. I can more often be available in a 20 mile radius from Bron-y-de. Best wishes. SovalValtos ( talk) 11:22, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello, KJP1. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Gurudev Gagandeep Vashist,".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac ( talk) 02:31, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Hearst Castle shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Chris Troutman ( talk) 18:45, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Hope all is well, KJP1. You were kind enough to offer to look this over when I'd finished the expansion? I think it's about as done as it can be—there's another image on its way—so does the offer still stand? I promise not to mention piles again ;) Happy Sunday! —— SerialNumber 54129 16:40, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
On 15 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Watts Park, Southampton, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Watts Park, Southampton. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Watts Park, Southampton), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for this one and many other good ones! - Sad that another friend died, same Main page, and pictured when you click on April. - There's a discussion on Yeats which I have to stay away (but don't manage to ignore): I feel that new editors who probably have no idea that they walk in a mine field are treated as if they laid the mines. What do you think? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:04, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
Thank you today for Sissinghurst Castle Garden, "created by Vita Sackville-West and her husband Harold Nicolson. Begun in the 1930s, by the time of their deaths it had become one of the world's most famous gardens. Its landscaping approach, a series of "garden rooms" within a formal structure, was innovative and remains influential. Its plant collection, particularly of roses, is renowned."! - Nice coincidence: I also have a garden image on my talk page. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:23, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Madresfield Court, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Malvern ( 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.)

Hi - thanks for getting involved at my talk page, I didn't realise that you had created the (excellent) Cragside article - I read it prior to visiting while on holiday at Alnmouth a couple of weeks ago. I'd hoped to find a second hand Pevsner in Barter Books while I was there, but drew a blank :(. If you do manage to find anything it would be great if you could let me know; otherwise, I'll work up a draft based on what I've found already, and anything else Lou can provide, and will ask you to take a look before publishing it to make sure you agree there aren't any issues with the COI stuff.
On a different note... since you've clearly got a great deal of experience in writing quality articles about historic buildings, I wonder whether you'd be willing to do me a favour. I recently created Cullen Old Church - it's been assessed as C class, but hasn't actually been patrolled yet. If you've got time, I'd be grateful if you could patrol it, and perhaps give me any thoughts for ways to improve it. I'd like to get it to GA status if possible, any suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 08:42, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi - I got round to doing some work on Draft:Cragend Silo - would you be interested in taking a look? I haven't had anything more from Lou in the way of pictures or additinoal sources, but I've written up what I can based on what I found. Any thoughts? Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 17:49, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for your input. I created the page after noticing that all the chasers listed on this page
/info/en/?search=The_Chase_(UK_game_show)
for the UK and Australian versions of the show had individual entries. This includes, for example, this entry:
/info/en/?search=Cheryl_Toh
for an Australian "chaser" who has no credits other than this one.
Almost none of the chasers from other international versions have individual entries, though (with only 2 exceptions -- based on which criteria?).
In Germany, the local version is one of the most popular game shows on TV, with 2 to 3 million viewers per episode and a substantial social media following. All the chasers do, IMHO, qualify for notability in the "Entertainer" category (as laid out in
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability_(people)), since they have appeared on multiple TV shows on major German networks and even outside of Germany (similar to the appearances of the UK/Australian chasers). They have also won acclaim in quiz activities on an international level (European and World Championships), which clearly justifies entries in language versions other than German. On top, some of them have achieved notability in fields outside of quizzing and TV entertainment as well (i.e. fields of science and literature).
This draft was created by me as a "test balloon," meaning that -- once this article is improved, which I hope it will -- I intend to add individual articles for all other German chasers as well (except for Holger Waldenberger, who already has an entry), based on their respective entries in the German version.
I would very much appreciate your reconsideration in terms of fairness across the international versions of "The Chase". Thank you.

Hello, I was deeply upset by the recent comment you made about my sarcasm. I did not mean for the sarcasm to be so sarcastic that it was no longer interpreted as sarcasm by onlookers. I am afraid it is within my legal rights however as a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to be able to enforce lawful action as I am a jury and also I am a lawyer and also I am a retired police superintendent and I will simply not stand for anti-semitics or racicicism. However, I am also a very corrupt, bad, retired police superintendent and will therefore never try and enforce any lawful action against my fellow Wikipedians. According to the Bible and the Qur'an I have, therefore, not broken any wikipedia rules, thus your illegal threat about threatening me with a ban for a legal threat threatening someone sarcastically who threatened to revoke my edit is perfectly and sarcastically justified! Good day, and God save our gracious Queen, Gentleman!

Thanks for your recent thumbs up. By chance I came across a set of splendid images on the Cadw site, all of which appear to be in WP Commons, and many of which look as if they would be suitable when you come to write up your architectural notes. There's a plan there and a reconstruction that look as if they might be useful too. All of us seem to have drawn away from the Tintern project since March for one reason or another - the only way I could get back into it was to ration myself to an hour or two's work on the sections I'd proposed for myself now and then. I'll do the art and lit next, once I can get all my notes into coherent order. Meanwhile, it seems Rodney Baggins got savaged by an Administrator and bolted down his hobbit hole, judging by his March correspondance. Other editors told him to trust your tested expertise (and leave well alone?) I've left him a note to say I was active again, which will hardly encourage him back! I'll look forward to seeing what you make of the Cadw material. Sweetpool50 ( talk) 01:22, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
I'm blowed if I can see what's causing the problems on that page. I've tried a few things in preview, but I either make it worse or no better. That's always the problem with those pre-formatted tables. I never used them, I just used the standard table formatting which doesn't come with bits hidden in the background that can go wrong. It may be worth finding out who wrote the original table and asking them directly. Cheers, and sorry not to have been of any help! - SchroCat ( talk) 14:56, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello. This is spam, forgive me. I'm gonna go through various GAR/GA pages and look for people who appear active. All I'm asking for is a review, not asking for any specific outcome (i.e., not begging for a KEEP). The GAR is Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Bengal famine of 1943/1. If you review and Delist, that's OK, so long as it gets a meaningful review...
The article is big, detailed and has a terrible history in various Content Review forums. In fact, it has been residing in Content Review Hell for a couple years now...
