Congratulations. It was this article that drew my attention to this neglected area (WP sense) of science/social history. And it is fascinating. - Sitush ( talk) 00:03, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Why doesn't this CfD surprise me? Kneejerk, I'd say. - Sitush ( talk) 23:44, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
I have a petrol strimmer and I am in touch with people who could most likely smooth the passage for its use (the vicar at Stand Church, for example, is one who uses my services - sorry about the pun). I am pretty sure that the bulbs will not be available for months but I am also fairly sure that I could get the Prestwich & Whitefield Heritage Society on board with that idea, as and when. I could even float the possibility of some PR via the local rags if that is what it takes. I have never knowingly met any of them but I would be surprised if I actually haven't, and they were most helpful with info for the article a week or so ago. Hell, some of them might even fancy joining in here, which might be A Good Thing.
I am more than happy to make recompense for the twiddling remark: J3Mrs is one of those people whom we should be seeing at Manchester wikimeets and if it takes a mild insult + conciliatory gesture to persuade her that she really might like it, then that is money well spent. Not that this particular suggestion of mine was intended with any ulterior motive, but ... -

That's it! I give up on the category discussion as it's going round in circles. What have the boundary changes of the 1970s got to do with botanists from the 18th and 19th centuries? Clearly, everyone we would want to add to it lived in Lancashire at that time so I don't see the problem. However, I'm not willing to spend time arguing the point over a category - you can waste hours with that sort of stuff. I reckon we should just carry on with what we're doing and if we get to do a general article about them maybe start a new category with that name. What do you think Sitush? Richerman (talk) 22:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
BTW, I've read all the other stuff in this here thread - just having a bad few days in real life. We will sort something out, between four weddings, a funeral, most likely several holidays and a tram timetable. I'll make the enquiries promised above. - Sitush ( talk) 23:15, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I reverted your recent edit to this article.

Welcome to a shit-load of abuse that might be coming your way from the Cornish nationalist numpties who frequent Wikipedia. In the past there has been an active campaign to obliterate any mention of England from all Cornwall-related articles, but consensus has been reached in the past that it is acceptable in Cornwall articles to have "England, United Kingdom". I fully agree with your edit at London Apprentice, that it is unnecessary clarification, but because of the previous consensus, wherever I find a Cornwall article that has "Cornwall, United Kingdom" I actively add "England", but I do not remove "United Kingdom". Of course consensus can change and I'd love to reach new consensus and remove this ridiculous anomaly. -- Bob Re-born ( talk) 12:19, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi there!
Oh wow, we did think what happened overnight during the week was pretty amazing and felt very lucky to have seen such a thing for ourselves. Thank you for calling by my blog and leaving a message. It's taken me ages to work out how to contact you but hopefully this will reach you OK.
Please feel free to use any (or more) of the images of the ice spike I posted on my little craft blog to add to the article - I only set up my Wikipedia ID yesterday and would have to wait a few days from what I can gather before uploading images. We took a whole load but I think I chose the best ones when I wrote the blog post.
If you need any more information my email is di_wray@hotmail.com.
Kind regards
Di

Hi Richerman, I have done some work adding links and citations to the 1981 England riots page, although I was unable to change the name of the page as you suggested. Does this qualify for having the header template removed?
Obsteve ( talk) 23:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Have you seen this site? It's been around for a while but they've added new images. I never knew there were tennis courts and a cricket ground near Pilkington's, for example. And look at this picture of Prestwich Hospital - it includes an image of Philips Park Viaduct, the first I've seen. I thought you might find it interesting, there are loads of pics of Salford, particularly the East Lancs Road being built. Parrot of Doom 19:29, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
As I've been up at 6 am every morning this week I was determined to be in bed by 11 pm last night. Then I got onto your sandbox ("Originally based in Tean, Staffordshire, England, the business was a manufacturer of that expanded both by organic growth....do tell - manufacturer of what?] and that led me onto Stand, Greater Manchester. That only had two sentences and they were both wrong so I just had to fix it, and I didn't get to bed until midnight - all your fault! Still, J3Mrs was there to fix my typos for me :) I should be working at Whitefield library next week so I'll see if they have anything there about the area. I might even pinch a sneaky photo of the chunk of wood from the Old Hall when no-one's around. Richerman (talk) 18:35, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Richerman, I don't know where you're reachable,but I want to say I don't like your arrogance. I added an adjective " human" because I wanted to make an article clearer (I misunderstood it at first). Instead of thank you I get some arrogance and irony. It is because of folks like you that I don't want to edit wikipedia anymore (which is good news for you, since you don't need to revert my edits anymore). Thank you for all your efforts, but I suggest wikipedia presents different versions for people particularly sensitive to specie-ism, sexism, etc. Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamiel79 ( talk • contribs) 03:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I have similar memories of "Bongs Wakes" the steam driven fair on Shakerley Common at the end of April (to coincide with St George's Day) and an even bigger one in September when families got together to enjoy it. I remember black peas and before I was seven the last ox roast. The schools closed for Wakes weeks, as did all the pits, the factories and the shops so if you couldn't afford a holiday life was very boring. We went on excursion trains to Blackpool and Southport or North Wales or on a bus to Belle Vue Zoo. We had gas lamps where I lived and my grandma still had the gas lights on the walls with mantles but didn't use them. I once had a cutting from the Lancashire dialect "Tum Fowt Times" (Tong Fold Times) describing the events held in the mid-19th century but I've lost it. J3Mrs ( talk) 20:14, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Can you state why this blog is acceptable under WP:RS? Adam Cuerden ( talk) 19:01, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Reply Er - it's not. I've no idea why I put that one in, I mustn't have realised it was a blog. I've replaced it. Richerman (talk) 10:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Right. I'm afraid this is going to be a fairly boring review beyond that point, then. This is an excellently-written, very competently-put-together article. Still, there are a few points.
General
Reply Hmm - I think some of those are a bit controversial - ,and, - that's at least one too many. Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Background "suggesting that observations of a Venus transit would be more useful scientifically." - This reads, in context, as saying that observations of the Venus transit would be more useful than observations of a Mercury transit. I suspect you mean that the observations of the Mercury transit proving scientifically valuable indicated that the Venus transit would also be valuable, which isn't the same thing.
Reply No, it means that Mercury was too small to be useful for techniques such as the parallax method but I'll check up on that and clarify it. Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
William Crabtree
Reply I would translate it as 'We Keplarians' but I've never found a reference for it anywhere. I'll put that in and see if anyone objects later. Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC) Transit of Mercury
Reply That sounds reasonable to me. Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
I have a rule for promotion of these. If the problems are trivial and few, there's really no need to wait on them for promotion. This is an excellent article, and, whilst the... three points raised... should be fixed, I really don't think that's enough to block GA. Indeed, once they are fixed, I would consider this immediately ready to go to FAC. ✓ Pass. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 17:55, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Comment Thanks for your review and the kind words. I was thinking of going to FAC with it but I'll need to standardise the citation style first. Then I'll have to make sure I have the time to deal with the flak :) Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Potter dabbled in what we'd now call science when very young, studying plants and fungi to inform her excellent illustrations.

Your signature has stray italics in it. The correct formatting is this:
<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texhtml">[[User:Richerman|<font color="green">Richerman</font>]]</span> [[User talk:Richerman|'''(talk)''']]

[[link|this is a link with ''italics]] that doesn't continue'' outside of the link.
I understand what your saying but the text you have given for the correct formatting seems to be identical to text I have in my signature - where is the difference? Richerman (talk) 12:15, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
''
(two apostrophes). There should be an even number so when italics is started it is correctly stopped without relying on some trick in the system. All that's needed is to remove the two apostrophes that appear at the end of the following: <font color="green">Richerman</font>''

If you have questions about the edit revisions of your posts, please direct them at ZarlanTheGreen on the talk page of the Vikings.
The definition you provided was fine, but the article also needs to somehow reflect the relationship between the Norse and the Vikings, as evidenced by the talk page.
The article overall needs a thorough text on definitions and relations on these issues. I hope someone will do it in the future to avoid the many edits back and forth. RhinoMind ( talk) 19:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

In the past there has been an active campaign to obliterate any mention of England from all Cornwall-related articles, but consensus has been reached in the past that it is acceptable in Cornwall articles to have "England, United Kingdom". I fully agree with your edit at London Apprentice, that it is unnecessary clarification, but because of the previous consensus, wherever I find a Cornwall article that has "Cornwall, United Kingdom" I actively add "England", but I do not remove "United Kingdom". Of course consensus can change and I'd love to reach new consensus and remove this ridiculous anomaly. -- Bob Re-born ( talk) 12:19, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
![]() | On 26 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ice spike, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that an ice spike is a rare phenomenon in nature but they can be grown in an ice cube tray in a domestic refrigerator using distilled water? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ice spike. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added 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. |

Hi there!
Oh wow, we did think what happened overnight during the week was pretty amazing and felt very lucky to have seen such a thing for ourselves. Thank you for calling by my blog and leaving a message. It's taken me ages to work out how to contact you but hopefully this will reach you OK.
Please feel free to use any (or more) of the images of the ice spike I posted on my little craft blog to add to the article - I only set up my Wikipedia ID yesterday and would have to wait a few days from what I can gather before uploading images. We took a whole load but I think I chose the best ones when I wrote the blog post.
If you need any more information my email is di_wray@hotmail.com.
Kind regards
Di

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Great Eastern Hotel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 's ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Richerman, I have done some work adding links and citations to the 1981 England riots page, although I was unable to change the name of the page as you suggested. Does this qualify for having the header template removed?

Have you seen this site? It's been around for a while but they've added new images. I never knew there were tennis courts and a cricket ground near Pilkington's, for example. And look at this picture of Prestwich Hospital - it includes an image of Philips Park Viaduct, the first I've seen. I thought you might find it interesting, there are loads of pics of Salford, particularly the East Lancs Road being built. Parrot of Doom 19:29, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
As I've been up at 6 am every morning this week I was determined to be in bed by 11 pm last night. Then I got onto your sandbox ("Originally based in Tean, Staffordshire, England, the business was a manufacturer of that expanded both by organic growth....do tell - manufacturer of what?] and that led me onto Stand, Greater Manchester. That only had two sentences and they were both wrong so I just had to fix it, and I didn't get to bed until midnight - all your fault! Still, J3Mrs was there to fix my typos for me :) I should be working at Whitefield library next week so I'll see if they have anything there about the area. I might even pinch a sneaky photo of the chunk of wood from the Old Hall when no-one's around. Richerman (talk) 18:35, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Richerman, I don't know where you're reachable,but I want to say I don't like your arrogance. I added an adjective " human" because I wanted to make an article clearer (I misunderstood it at first). Instead of thank you I get some arrogance and irony. It is because of folks like you that I don't want to edit wikipedia anymore (which is good news for you, since you don't need to revert my edits anymore). Thank you for all your efforts, but I suggest wikipedia presents different versions for people particularly sensitive to specie-ism, sexism, etc. Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamiel79 ( talk • contribs) 03:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I have similar memories of "Bongs Wakes" the steam driven fair on Shakerley Common at the end of April (to coincide with St George's Day) and an even bigger one in September when families got together to enjoy it. I remember black peas and before I was seven the last ox roast. The schools closed for Wakes weeks, as did all the pits, the factories and the shops so if you couldn't afford a holiday life was very boring. We went on excursion trains to Blackpool and Southport or North Wales or on a bus to Belle Vue Zoo. We had gas lamps where I lived and my grandma still had the gas lights on the walls with mantles but didn't use them. I once had a cutting from the Lancashire dialect "Tum Fowt Times" (Tong Fold Times) describing the events held in the mid-19th century but I've lost it. J3Mrs ( talk) 20:14, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first.

I have reviewed this, and, whilst there are three points that could be improved, it's such a good article that I didn't feel that the fairly minor points should block. As such, I have promoted it. The review follows. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 17:56, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Can you state why this blog is acceptable under WP:RS? Adam Cuerden ( talk) 19:01, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Reply Er - it's not. I've no idea why I put that one in, I mustn't have realised it was a blog. I've replaced it. Richerman (talk) 10:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Right. I'm afraid this is going to be a fairly boring review beyond that point, then. This is an excellently-written, very competently-put-together article. Still, there are a few points.
General
Reply Hmm - I think some of those are a bit controversial - ,and, - that's at least one too many. Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Background "suggesting that observations of a Venus transit would be more useful scientifically." - This reads, in context, as saying that observations of the Venus transit would be more useful than observations of a Mercury transit. I suspect you mean that the observations of the Mercury transit proving scientifically valuable indicated that the Venus transit would also be valuable, which isn't the same thing.
Reply No, it means that Mercury was too small to be useful for techniques such as the parallax method but I'll check up on that and clarify it. Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Reply I would translate it as 'We Keplarians' but I've never found a reference for it anywhere. I'll put that in and see if anyone objects later. Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC) Transit of Mercury
Reply That sounds reasonable to me. Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
I have a rule for promotion of these. If the problems are trivial and few, there's really no need to wait on them for promotion. This is an excellent article, and, whilst the... three points raised... should be fixed, I really don't think that's enough to block GA. Indeed, once they are fixed, I would consider this immediately ready to go to FAC. ✓ Pass. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 17:55, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Comment Thanks for your review and the kind words. I was thinking of going to FAC with it but I'll need to standardise the citation style first. Then I'll have to make sure I have the time to deal with the flak :) Richerman (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Potter dabbled in what we'd now call science when very young, studying plants and fungi to inform her excellent illustrations. I'm really not convinced this makes her a 'scientist'; and everyone would agree, I think, that science was not her career. Dipping a toe in the water does not constitute lifelong swimming.

Your signature has stray italics in it. The correct formatting is this:
<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texhtml">[[User:Richerman|<font color="green">Richerman</font>]]</span> [[User talk:Richerman|'''(talk)''']]
Please update your signature. → Σ σ ς. ( Sigma) 02:31, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
[[link|this is a link with ''italics]] that doesn't continue'' outside of the link.
I understand what your saying but the text you have given for the correct formatting seems to be identical to text I have in my signature - where is the difference? Richerman (talk) 12:15, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
''
(two apostrophes). There should be an even number so when italics is started it is correctly stopped without relying on some trick in the system. All that's needed is to remove the two apostrophes that appear at the end of the following: <font color="green">Richerman</font>''

I wrote a few words here about the recent edits on the Vikings page. I have removed my words, as they were based on another users edits and not yours. Im sorry for the confusion. If you have questions about the edit revisions of your posts, please direct them at ZarlanTheGreen on the talk page of the Vikings.
The definition you provided was fine, but the article also needs to somehow reflect the relationship between the Norse and the Vikings, as evidenced by the talk page.
The article overall needs a thorough text on definitions and relations on these issues. I hope someone will do it in the future to avoid the many edits back and forth. RhinoMind ( talk) 19:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
