Parishes project

Since over the years you have been interested in creating articles on parishes and similar you might be interested in User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes, as you can see from User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes/Table all parishes in Berkshire now exist.

Hauptplatz (Graz) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Hauptplatz (Graz), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. UnitedStatesian (talk) 02:08, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

@UnitedStatesian: - Thanks, but it might have saved you some effort if you had read what I wrote on the talk page. If you had, you would have realised I had no interest in developing this article, and would be more than happy for you to delete it. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 08:31, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

East Midlands Gateway

Great to see the East Midlands Gateway article up and running. I made a start on a potential offering some time ago but ran out of steam! Just want to say if you see anything useful at User:Crep171166/sandbox/East Midlands Gateway you are most welcome to just copy it across or otherwise use anything there. I have some more media I will upload to Commons shortly if that is useful too. Thanks. Crep1711 (talk) 18:56, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

@Crep171166: - Thanks. I hadn't spotted that sandbox. There was some good stuff there. I've merged the infobox, some texts and some cites from there into the article. If you want to do more, please feel free. And certainly more media would be helpful. I found some on the Geograph project and added them to a commons group linked from the menu, but none of them really helps the story that much. The couple I took myself are hopeless. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 18:32, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of New Brunswick Railway Museum

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on New Brunswick Railway Museum requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Haiiya (talk) 23:16, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

@Haiiya: - Thanks for the notification, even though I last edited this article 17 years ago and have no memory of looking at it since. At this distance in time, I have no view on its notability. There may be other more recent editors who do. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 08:22, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of New Brunswick Railway Museum

The article New Brunswick Railway Museum has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The article does not have any citations, and there is no indication of notability per WP:ORGSIG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hey! It seems editors don't agree with it being PRODed or Speedily deleted, so I'm not going to pursue its deletion any further. If you have any sources, I'll gladly add them and possibly expand the article. Haiiya (talk) 22:09, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Chris, too quick off the mark, sorry! Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:40, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Hauptplatz (Graz)

Hello, Chris j wood. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Hauptplatz".

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 deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. 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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:09, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

@Liz: - Thanks for keeping me updated, but it might have saved you some effort if you had read what I wrote on the talk page and above when it was moved to the draft. I did point out that I had no interest in developing this article, and would be more than happy for it to be deleted. Thank you for doing so. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 08:31, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

August 2022

Hi Chris j wood! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Snowdon Mountain Railway

Any idea what's with all the COI edits? Cheers Adakiko (talk) 09:06, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Adakiko:: Not really, but it does look like somebody is making a determined, but rather amateurish, effort to write the hybrid locos out of history. I'd be surprised if Clayton's PR department were that cack-handed, so I'm guessing this is somebody from SMR who has got frightened by some sort of non-disclosure agreement the railway has signed with Claytons, and has over-reacted. Either way, it has nothing to do with Wikipedia, and there is plenty of sourcing for the existence of the locos. I've even found one on Clayton's own web site. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 09:16, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! BTW: adding the {{re|Adakiko}} after you have signed and published doesn't send any wp:Ping. You need to add the ping and a second signature. It doesn't ping if you erase your signature and resign either. I've tried a large number of combinations to no avail. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 09:25, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Adakiko:: Thanks for the heads-up; I didn't realise that. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 09:28, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Got the ping this time! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 09:33, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of London Rail

The article London Rail has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Less than 10 sources, all prior to 2015. Main body includes seemingly irrelevant information (e.g. about "London Trams"), so article does not seem up-to-date, or relevant. See talk page for further insight from User:Jackiespeel.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Speedy deletion nomination of Princes Wharf, Aukland

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Princes Wharf, Aukland, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Speedy deletion nomination of West Hill Cemetery (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on West Hill Cemetery (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

@Dsuke1998AEOS:Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like I intended to create the other article that caused the need to disambiguate, then got side-tracked and never did. I've now created West Hill Cemetery, Winchester, and have reinstated the disambiguation. chris_j_wood (talk) 14:59, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

(a good person!)_{[citation unneeded]} 17:25, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

@Matrix: - Already turned into a redir, but I don't understand how this disambiguation page met the speedy deletion criteria quoted above. It doesn't end (disambiguation) so the first and third bullet points don't apply. And as Ramsden, Orpington clearly does exist, bullet point two doesn't apply either. Unless I'm missing something, this should never have been considered for speedy deletion (or at least not under WP:CSD#G1). That said, what this clearly shows is that nine years ago I intended to create an article for the other (and, from a historical perspective, more significant) Ramsden Estate and then didn't (probably got side-tracked and forgot). I think I will go and do what I should have done then, and create that article, then reinstate the dab. -- chris_j_wood (talk)
