Hi, With a page like Levandekyrka I think it is pretty clear; Not in English and a copy of some other website (bye bye), but maybe it will get translated re-worded and end up as a really interesting article. I tend to think not as there was no attempt to alter or improve on the original. By the way I agree about Radio 4.-- Alchemist Jack ( talk) 10:49, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Grunge Lit at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified.

I added some descriptives to Gaelic placenames (i.e. specifying WHAT they are, since the Gaelic name are rather opaque in that regard). However, the sources are not always clear and you might want to check I correctly identified the features, namely Craeg an Taghain as a "deserted farmstead" (seems to be some sort of scheduled archeologic monument, to be precise), Coille Mhialairigh as a "forest" and Bealach Arnasdail as a "pass". (I personally think it would be more transparent to say "Mhialairigh Forest/Woods" and "Arnisdale/Arnasdail Pass", but the usage clearly is in favor of for full Gaelic only) Circeus ( talk) 18:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Great job on the co-cathedral of Castello! I removed the word "former cathedral" because, technically speaking, it still holds the title of cathedral as co-cathedral of the Patriarch of Venice. Sounds weird but examples are countless in the RC church. Famous similar example: St. Paul's Cathedral, Mdina & St. John's Co-Cathedral in Malta. Alberto Fernandez Fernandez ( talk) 21:43, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
This is the proper spelling of the name using accents - see numerous other Scottish mountains containing the element Càrn. A lot of sources seem to omit Gaelic accents for some reason. See Dwelly's dictionary online etc. -- MacRusgail ( talk) 13:57, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
I noticed a particular contribution you made removed "unnecessary commas". The commas you removed indeed are necessary. "By the time the Allies re-took the city in 1944, not everything had been completed, as the Germans originally planned." The commas in red are placed because "By the time the Allies re-took the city in 1944" is a dependent clause and thus requires a comma. "As the Germans originally planned" is also a dependent clause. The other commas you removed were also necessary. Please reply with your understanding in respect to comma usage. LordPiratez ( talk) 22:30, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey there Nick Ottery, thank you for your contributions. I am a bot, alerting you that non-free files are not allowed in user or talk space. I removed some files I found on User:Nick Ottery/Sandbox6.

Hello Nick, sorry I haven't been in touch sooner, I'm busy IRL and a little burned-out on WP after somehow getting the Seymour article up and running (I only wind up to create an article or expand one properly once in a blue moon). I hadn't realized that you'd only recently been working on Magicland's article, or I would have made some tweaks rather than just changed the rating, very nice work and thank you for it.
I still need to dig out sources for you, but here's some suggestions in the meantime:
That's pretty much all I can see, I need to find that magazine with the Dizzy feature. Someone another 17:52, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Hope I didn't embarrass you with my comment at RFA. I was just upset that the comment seemed to ignore your main point in preference to picking on a dubious "error" to cast doubt on the whole comment. Mainly, I suppose, I was trying to draw attention to the fact that it came from the nominator, and as such I found it a little inappropriate. Again, sorry if it caused you to feel uncomfortable in any way. That wasn't my intention. - Begoon ( talk) 15:46, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

On August 4, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article San Cassiano (Venice), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

You are using {{ Infobox mountain}} on your sub page User:Nick Ottery/Draft of Bennachie Article. Your infobox used deprecated parameter names. In the near future the template is to be updated and the old parameter names will no longer work. I updated the template for you. I hope that was OK. – droll [chat] 20:13, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
