Thanks for reviewing the article. I've made a couple of comments and suggested an alternative that can be sourced nationally. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:00, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Chester Shot Tower

I am sorry you are upset by the changes I made to this article some time ago; I can understand that you had put some detailed work into it. However at the time, when you were not available for discussion, I was looking through Cheshire articles to update the Images of England (IoE) references. The problem with IoE is that it was a Millennium project and is frozen in time in 2000. It has not been updated since then; this means that new listings, delistings, changes in grading, and errors have not been deal with. The website has been replaced by the National Heritage List for England (NHLE). This contains, in addition to listed buildings, scheduled ancient monuments, parks and gardens, and more. It is updated, if necessary, daily, so is up to date, and IMO is the most reliable source for heritage source easily available to the reader. I have checked personally with English Heritage it is frequently updated.

Also when I looked at the article it was not up to date, as there had been developments in its use since it was written (links to these are in the version you reverted). I then found that some of the links were dead. I spent some time trying to see which, if any, had been archived (using the Wayback Machine). Those for which I could not find reliable citations (online OR offline) I regretfully removed in the interest of maintaining verifiability (which I hope you will agree is an important WP value).

Looking at the article as it stands today, it has ten references, only one of which leads directly to the source (the Victoria County History); the other are to blank pages, error pages, or to a non-specific page of the Cheshire West & Chester website. I did not "hack" the article "just because sources no longer online", but spent some time in trying to make it reliable and verifiable. I can, if you so wish, update the IoE references, but I would not know what to do to cure the dead links. And the up-to-date material needs to be incorporated into the article. By the way, I find the {{NHLE |num= |desc= |accessdate= |separator=,|ps=}} template invaluable for NHLE links.--Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:55, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

When the article was pulled back from the main page, the nomination was reopened to see if it could be edited to meet proper standards. I was wondering whether you'd be willing to review it.

Two in two days! Congratulations. What's for tomorrow? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Peter! They're like buses, aren't they? I've been working on listed buildings in Combermere in my sandbox, which has 'hooky' buildings a-plenty, but I don't have your stamina for lists. I'm very impressed by your recent output -- what are you working on at the moment? I got the new Pevsner for Christmas and have wrested de Figueiredo & Treuherz out of the library, so if there's anything in Cheshire you'd like a second pair of eyes on? Espresso Addict (talk) 21:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Suffering from New Year laziness and the effects of a virus attack, I have recently found compiling lists requires (from me) less stamina than struggling with the texts of articles, so I have been working through the civil parishes in northwest Cheshire. Some of these contain few listed buildings, and I have not added these to the Project page (the "new articles" have become rather unbalanced anyway!). In your "absence" I've been rather straying away from Cheshire into Grade I listed churches in nearby counties; so far there are FLs for Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and Lancashire, and there is an article on every Grade I church in all these counties plus Cumbria (not all written by me). At present I am working (slowly) through the Shropshire churches. Hope you enjoy your new Pevsner. There is an article in WP (at least a stub) on all the houses included in F&T; but please expand/improve anything that takes your fancy. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

European Military history topics

It'll be just about as long as the country version, but what do you think of me using every major war (or higher page if there is one, e.g. Crusades instead of each crusade) for the topics? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 18:50, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Sounds like a good place to start, organised by date perhaps. I'd suggest adding a list of other high-level articles too. The Military History WikiProject has lots of task forces classified as general which might be able to help with general articles/lists on, say, European castles. I think one problem this portal has is that there is so much potential content, but no European-specific WikiProject -- which does at least mean the portal should be useful to readers. Espresso Addict (talk) 19:10, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

I really appreciate your help in reordering, and especially catching the glitch in the journal reference. There will be a lot more added soon, to cover his later work - the guy who wrote the obit said he'd send me a draft.

Curt Schimmelbusch / History of sterilisation

Rather than continue the discussion on the DYK page, I thought I'd bring it here. I am hoping to work on some of the articles on sterilisation and autoclaves over the coming months, I've already started to have a little tinker in my sandbox. As you say, the current coverage seems very limited and disorganised. This seems more within your area of the encyclopaedia than my own; do you know of anything other than: Sterilization (microbiology), Dry heat sterilization, Moist heat sterilization, Autoclaves that covers the subject here? I note there is very little on the disinfection process within the greater surgical decontamination process. (This all seems a long way from my normal cricket articles I know, but it more closely reflects my professional expertise.) Harrias ^talk 17:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm an ex-virologist, so my microbiological knowledge is a bit thin, I'm afraid. We just used to splash a lot of ethanol around and hope for the best! I can't find any other articles directly related except aseptic technique; you might perhaps be interested in pasteurization and it's various linked articles but they're mainly about food treatments. I'm more interested in the history of surgery aspect of it, but don't have any good references I'm afraid. (I had a look at my history of medicine text, but it just mentions Pasteur and Koch.)

Agawam Deletion

Mfribbs (talk) 20:13, 13 March 2013 (UTC)mfribbs

Actually I seem to have deleted a previous version back in 2007. The admin who deleted the most-recent version in 2012 is User:Fastily, who appears to be retired. I've taken a look at version Fastily deleted and it's completely unsuitable for the encyclopedia – it reads like an advert and is full of unsourced material of a trivial nature – so if you want to try to write an encyclopedic article I'd advise you to start from scratch. The references of the deleted page were: [1] and [2]. Espresso Addict (talk) 20:25, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

I understand. Fastily is retired, so I cannot talk to him/her. I will notify you if I have trouble if it's not too much of an annoyance. I am mostly a novice to Wikipedia. Mfribbs (talk) 21:02, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Your best policy is to try to find reliable sources (eg books, newspapers) that talk about the camp in detail, and are independent of the camp's organisers. Then, base what you write on what the sources say, not any personal knowledge you might have. If it really (verifiably) is one of the oldest summer camps in the US, it is probably notable, but the article needs to demonstrate that with good-quality, independent sources. I'm always willing to help inexperienced editors, but I'm probably not the best person to ask on this sort of subject, as it's completely out of the areas in which I'm expert. If you need advice, a good place to try is the Teahouse. Best of luck, Espresso Addict (talk) 21:21, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Camp Agawam was again nominated for speedy deletion by MrX. Could you help me through this? --Mfribbs (talk) 23:48, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Just a quick yes/no question: do you think I can use videos for resources? Mfribbs (talk) 12:20, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

There's no problem at all with using videos for sources, but you should note that videos advertising the camp, either by the camp itself or the ACA, are unlikely to be considered reliable. As with all material sourced only to the camp itself, they can only be used for simple facts that are unlikely to be challenged, for example, about what sports are offered. Hope this helps! Espresso Addict (talk) 20:44, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you...hmm..the only videos about the camp are used for advertising, and we can get all the simple unchallengeable facts from other resources. Mfribbs (talk) 12:40, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Expresso, Thanks very much for the info on ISBN's. Also, in the process you have alerted me to the WorldCat site, which will be very useful to me. I am wondering if I am using the right kind of template for me refs, which are often books. I generally use the following format:

cite book |last= |first= |authorlink= |title= |url= |accessdate= |year= |publisher= |location= |isbn= |page= |pages=

I have great respect for the project you've created, and admire your work a great deal, and if I've given any indication to the contrary, then I do apologize. — Ched :  ?  11:29, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry, Ched! It wasn't anything you wrote at all. The first two comments I received when I advertised the project (which had been discussed at a widely publicised RfC for nearly two months) were along the lines of "how does this differ from xyz forum [which I was associated with]", so to be honest it was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek comment directed towards my mild frustration with those previous responses, rather than anything at all to do with what you wrote. Please do ignore it! I shouldn't have written it. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 13:50, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Just dropping by

Hi Espresso Addict, I'm a bit behind the times but just wanted to say it's good to see you around Wikipedia again (I'm only five months late). And well done for getting the Cheshire portal to Featured status. Nev1 (talk) 14:18, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Nev! It's excellent to see you too! Thanks -- I felt pretty bad about abandoning the portal in its first FP application so I was glad to be able to belatedly redress the ill. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 14:30, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Espresso Addict, we moved your Teahouse host profile

Hello Espresso Addict! Thank you for being a host at the Teahouse. However, we haven't heard from you lately, so our bot has moved your Host profile from the host landing page to the host breakroom. No worries; you can always just Check in and our bot will move your profile back. Editing any Teahouse-related page will do the same thing for you. If you would prefer not to receive reminders like this, you can unsubscribe here. Thanks for your help at the Teahouse! HostBot (talk) 03:50, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hi. I'm just letting you know that I have 'BRD' reverted your adjustment to the threshold for the Autopatrolled 'right'. IMO, this requires a major dedicated discussion by the community and a clear consensus, and not an arbitrary, unilateral decision of one editor. If I have missed such a single-purpose, dedicated discussion, I apologise, and please point me to it. Regards, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:53, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Singapore

Hi Espresso Addict,

Thanks for reviewing the nomination for the Singapore portal awhile back. I have made some changes based on your recommendations, so can you have a look at it again?--Lionratz (talk) 01:07, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Andrew Simpson (sailor) for GA?

Hey Espresso Addict, I noticed you and I had popped up as most regular contributors at the Andrew Simpson (sailor) article, and since we've taken it quite a long way from its original state when nominated at ITN, I wondered if you'd be amenable to co-nominating it at WP:GAN? Just a thought! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:04, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback Tool update

Hey Espresso Addict. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:51, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
