Hi Senra,
I just wanted to follow up on your post at the resource exchange. Are you still looking for additional papers or can I mark it as resolved? Thanks, GabrielF ( talk) 18:10, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi, managed to locate the book, but unfortunately there's insufficient detail to produce an article. At the back of the book is an incomplete listing of captured Russian guns brought to this country after the Crimean War, and put on display. There seem to be two types, those on wooden carriages, and those on iron. Some were scrapped during WW2. The author has made drawings of the markings on the trunnions of the guns, including that at Ely, which is---
A Russian iron gun on an iron carriage, the carriage itself previously being mounted on a heavy iron traversing slide- the whole structure being known as the Systeme Venglov 1853 (page 147). Chiselled into the ends of the trunnions of the gun is the "vital data"; the serial number, name of factory and director's name on one side, and the calibre, weight and date of manufacture on the other (page 187). The gun was cast at the Alexandrovski factory in 1802, the factory's director being Charles Gascoigne. The serial number is 8726. The calibre is 30 pounder (sic) (mark may possibly be "funt", which is the equivalent of 14 ounces). Weight is 252 poods, or 81.2 cwts. "Cannon: the conservation, reconstruction and presentation of historic artillery" by Austin C. Carpenter, Halsgrove Press, Tiverton, 1993, ISBN 1 874 448 02 7 Ning-ning ( talk) 23:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
(od)I will try and get another source tomorrow (Friday) on this. Carpenter doesn't define the term "pounder"- I believe it to refer to the putative weight of the largest solid ball that can be fired from the gun, i.e. round rather than canister or bar etc. The examples he gives of Russian guns form a series, 18, 24, 36 and 56 with the Ely gun the odd one out at 30! Dates range from 1799 to 1842, so the Ely gun is the second oldest. The pair brought to Leicester were taken to their resting place with much pomp, so I expect a trawl through the Ely papers circa 1856 onwards may produce something. As far as British guns were concerned, the 1850s and 1860s were a period of great experimentation and development, rendering the earlier style of cannon obselete. Some were converted to rifled muzzle-loaders, or breech-loaders by drilling a hole at the back for loading a shell, but plenty of others were turned into bollards, or pivots for larger guns. The Russian guns appear to be typical muzzle-loaders of 18th century style, and possibly obselete by British standards of the 1820s let alone the 1850s. so it's a curiosity as to why someone loaded up a ship with them and brought them back- with their carriages, so it couldn't have been as ballast or for the scrap value, or for their technical interest. Must have been a propaganda campaign, after an unpopular and badly-managed war. Ning-ning ( talk) 22:40, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

While
this may be humorous to you, and while I may have missed the point, but suggesting Chris is a "pussy" for his recent actions is way beyond the pale. Of course, I could have completely misinterpreted the situation where you said he should "reflect on the privileged bit that was marginally granted to you", but in any case, I'm sure he's done that in spades, and your "pussy" comment is not required. Cheers, and happy Christmas.

::As I said, I could have misinterpreted the situation. If that's the case, then no bother, as I said above. No retraction required as I adequately caveated any misinterpretation. If I made that mistake, maybe many others would have too. By the way "you need to learn to read English" is a bit too much as well, thankfully it means I won't bother reviewing your PR request of Ely (which was next on my to do list, especially as I have local knowledge) since clearly if I can't read English, my review skills would be wasted.

Hi there
I like the general edits to the Ely page but I have to confess to being greatly disappointed that the gallery has gone. As a resident of Ely I know that other residents liked it and many visitors perused the Ely Wikipedia page and enjoyed having a glimpse of modern Ely before coming here. I do think a gallery compliments the written information of Ely. People often like to see photos as well as read about a place so I do hope it gets reinstated. It's also very discouraging for someone like me (a grandmother), who isn't good with technology, to spend hours finding out how to do anything on here (such as how to post photos and using talk) and then find that most of my photography efforts have been deleted without prior knowledge. I'm pleased that three photos of mine survived on the page!
Gwendraith ( talk) 18:44, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Senra, how are you? I hope you enjoyed yourself over the last week or so. I've worked through nearly everything I have to hand about Reculver, including most of the things you dug up for me, but you mentioned that you might be able to get sight of Newman, J. (1976), North East and East Kent (Pevsner Architectural Guides: Buildings of England), Harmondsworth: Penguin, p. 430 after 3 January: about the 19th century "new" Reculver church at Hillborough, by " Georges Clark", I've turned nothing up on him, despite searching for variations (e.g. George S Clerk!), so it'd be wonderful if you could give me the full spec on that from the Pevsner series book, if only so I can cite it confidently? Also, while I'm here, the section Reculver#Parramatta cathedral is looking really out of place now, to me anyway: it's not a local "Religious site" or "Landmark"... Though, I do think the info belongs - any thoughts? Cheers. Nortonius ( talk) 20:04, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but the Wikimedia software has no function to change an edit summary, and the summary in question does not meet any of the acceptable uses of revision deletion, so except for deleting the article outright, you are pretty much stuck with it. You may choose to make a small edit, e.g. adding or removing white space, with the edit summary you want such as "Correction to revision 470968069: Text donated by KB under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL as per email in my possession". — DoRD ( talk) 22:48, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Senra, I saw your resource request and thought I might be able to help with some online access, but sadly no. However, it reminded me of a Heritage Gateway search result you posted on my talk page re Reculver - I've been trying ever since to search Heritage Gateway, especially for the Elizabethan brick "gateway" at Brook Farm, near Reculver, but always get an error message. I'm wondering if you might be so kind as to try the same, at least to see if you also get an error message! No problem if not, I've been a bit stumped for sources myself lately...! Cheers.

Ah, thanks for continuing to ponder this one! Yes, the host is Mac OS 10.7.2, and Software Update is run daily, for Apple updates and e.g. java. I have the built-in firewall off at all times, as I have proprietary security software which I manage myself: turning that off makes 0 difference, I'm afraid! :o( I've only looked at the VirtualBox manual as needed – it's nearer "tech specs" than a handy manual, IMHO, and I'd rather have both! But I can't bring myself to read the whole thing from start to finish; I have read most of it by now, but not "thoroughly". By all means prod me further on this, if you think it'll help – I'll try restarting with all off in a mo, if that helps I'll let you know asap! Nortonius ( talk) 16:32, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.
While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.
If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:00, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Senra, I saw your resource request and thought I might be able to help with some online access, but sadly no. However, it reminded me of a Heritage Gateway search result you posted on my talk page re Reculver - I've been trying ever since to search Heritage Gateway, especially for the Elizabethan brick "gateway" at Brook Farm, near Reculver, but always get an error message. I'm wondering if you might be so kind as to try the same, at least to see if you also get an error message! No problem if not, I've been a bit stumped for sources myself lately...! Cheers.

Ah, thanks for continuing to ponder this one! Yes, the host is Mac OS 10.7.2, and Software Update is run daily, for Apple updates and e.g. java. I have the built-in firewall off at all times, as I have proprietary security software which I manage myself: turning that off makes 0 difference, I'm afraid! :o( I've only looked at the VirtualBox manual as needed – it's nearer "tech specs" than a handy manual, IMHO, and I'd rather have both! But I can't bring myself to read the whole thing from start to finish; I have read most of it by now, but not "thoroughly". By all means prod me further on this, if you think it'll help – I'll try restarting with all off in a mo, if that helps I'll let you know asap! Nortonius ( talk) 16:32, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Page at m:Meetup/Cambridge/14. We're having the traditional glitch with the sitenotice - thought you might like the alert. Charles Matthews ( talk) 20:07, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.
While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.
If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:00, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Senra,
I've uploaded one of the articles you requested at the resource exchange on the archaeology of Cambridgeshire. You can find a link to the article at that page. GabrielF ( talk) 20:16, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I have a mate bringing me BEER shortly, so forgive the breathless style – do you fancy honing your GA reviewer skills further with an article wot I've just cooked up? Or contributing? Either way, I think it's ready, Pesky thinks it'll be – ahem – "piss-easy", Malleus has offered to review, and I mentioned your name too – thoughts? Hope you're ok! Nortonius ( talk) 19:44, 15 February 2012 (UTC) p.s. Re-reading Malleus, I think he's suggesting you collaborate with me on the article, while he reviews…? Either way would be cool by me! :o)
