Hello hello! Believe me, I'm tired of Montacute House – I don't think anyone arrives at a talk page to discuss fairly minor (to my mind) changes and still be there weeks later, but that's the nature of the Wiki sometimes.
On a lighter note, how are things with you? Are there any Burges-related articles left to bring up to standard, or have you finished for the moment? Personally I'm taking a bit of a break after doing Dolwyddelan and Criccieth castles, but I'm sure I'll find a project soon – I did think about bringing Penarth Fawr up to GA, it's not all that far off in its current state. What do you reckon, given you're one of the main editors? A.D.Hope ( talk) 21:29, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the spring clean-up for the much-missed RexxS. - As for the question about archiving (in the edit summary), I believe that the expressions of appreciation and missing are as valid as they were when written, so for whom would would we put them into a drawer? - My latest stories concern Helga Paris and Seiji Ozawa - on the Main page for a sad reason - with personal memories of concerts with Ozawa (on my talk). -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:47, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi,
Sorry for using your talk page, but I couldn't think of a better way to access you. You have shown an interest in British (Country House) Architectural History. I have suggested that Wikipedians gain access to the Country Life Archive on The Wikipedia Library ( https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/suggest/). Please feel free to support this suggestion (titled "Country Life Archive (Proquest)" on the above page) if you think this is a good idea.
Feel free to @ me here with any questions.
Cheers, EPEAviator ( talk) 02:46, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
Apologies for being a few days late, but I've only just noticed your efforts at the Monmouthshire article. Well done for attempting it! I will try to pick up any minor changes as you go. I have various offline sources (aka books), including one published by the County Council in 1974, Monmouthshire County Council 1888-1974, which may well have material that can be used (it's a very long time since I looked at it!). Let me know if there are specific questions where I may be able to help. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 09:44, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi KJP1, thanks for your comment at my talk, I don't mind if you jumped in. It was a question out of the blue, although did understand their concerns so merely hidden it and kept it private. Nonetheless a bit weird where they came from and how my userpage was worth the comment, I do wonder what their links are and if they're closer to the subject then they say, as they reference long-standing discussions concerning "agenda[s]". But that's speculation. Nonetheless thanks! Dank Jae 18:36, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not going to go to the stake over this. My next edit on this point will be my last so you have final say. However, Turkish baths is a phrase used both in the singular and plural (check the 'literature'). Whether 'Turkish baths' or 'a Turkish bath' is used the phrase is either a place (housing several rooms with different purposes) or a process (involving several actions). The same applies to a Hammam. So my final compromise edit, since you prefer not to use the plural form, is to remove the word 'suite' which is tautological since '(a) Turkish Bath' or 'Turkish baths' are both by definition, a suite of rooms, or areas—in Cragside's case, five. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishpoloni ( talk • contribs) 23:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi! Do you have your Pevsners to hand these days? I've been working my through the surviving Stephenson-designed structures from the London and Birmingham Railway. There are surprisingly many, though sadly the original Euston is long gone. I've found a potential FA in Wolverton Viaduct. I was hoping Nik or his successors might have an opinion on it.

Hello! Now that the some normality has returned after the whole Montacute thing I just thought I'd pop by and see how you were doing. Are you working on anything interesting at the moment?
I was also wondering, after your comment over at the Pevsners article, just how big your collection is – my own is quite modest and entirely composed of the more recent editions, so I'm a little envious of anyone who's managed to amass a more complete set! They do come in handy – I'm in the middle of giving Gibside a bit of an overhaul and the National Trust guidebook is one of those fairly slim modern ones, so having a copy of County Durham to hand has proved invaluable.
Anyway, I hope you're enjoying your weekend. A.D.Hope ( talk) 12:38, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
