Also added a link from the Grade II* listed buildings in Rhondda Cynon Taf page. This is normally a good plan with listed buildings, since there's probably already a mention of them on a list page. Blythwood (talk) 12:38, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William Edward Powell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Llanbadarn Fawr (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.

Ceredigion

Hi Macs,

I agree we need to chat about the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceredigion_(UK_Parliament_constituency).

I have a middle road in mind.

Do you wish to have that convo here or on the article talk page?

Cheers

Pembrokeshire Council

You're being quite contrary, aren't you, by reverting the removal of unnecessary middle names from election lists, then going through and selectively replacing full names with common names. We should really be doing one thing or the other.

It would be more sensible to use common names, for example, when describing Jamie Adams' role as council leader, than when we are recording election results when he is standing under his given name. Sionk (talk) 12:00, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This has been an issue discussed on several occasions. I'm happy to agree with you on how we proceed and there are arguments for using the common name and also the full name. My objection to removing middle names is that the first name might no necessarily be the common name. Happy to agree to your suggestion, if I understand correctly, to use the full name in recorded election results but the common name when describing leadership of the council etc. I shall revert my changes if we agree on this. You are doing excellent work on local elections etc. so best that we collaborate! Regards Macs15 (talk) 20:20, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! To be honest, I had a similar problem with my local councillor who was known as Tariq Awan but, like many Muslim males, had the first name Mohamed. So it made no sense when another editor removed the name Tariq. I've seen other editors remove middle names from election lists, but it's not the top of my to-do list. All the best! Sionk (talk) 20:34, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. I’ll revert those changes tomorrow. I’ve also seen examples of names being changed so that they’re plain wrong! But as you say it’s probably not a priority!Macs15 (talk) 23:38, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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.

1995 Cardiff Council election

If you're basing the 'retiring members' on who won in 1991, you'll probably be inaccurate. For example, there was definitely a by-election in Adamsdown after Jon Owen Jones got elected to the UK Parliament, so I suspect Lynn Glaister may also have been a retiring councillor. Best not to add them unless you've got some sort of proof from somewhere, in my opinion. Additionally, it was a different council, which wil be why the Elections Centre doesn't indicate retiring members. Sionk (talk) 18:39, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. Given that it is a different council in 1995 retiring member is not correct. However, it is probably useful to indicate who were the members of the previous authority. Will re-word? Thanks for taking the work on 1991 forward! Macs15 (talk) 19:37, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see you spotted Julie Morgan as well. I was trying to find proof it was her, but couldn't. However, she was South Glamorgan councillor for the Mackintosh ward, which is basically the same area, Plasnewydd/Roath. So sort of makes sense. Sionk (talk) 11:36, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of St David's Church, Abergwili

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page St David's Church, Abergwili has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://coflein.gov.uk/cy/safle/117057/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review. — Diannaa (talk) 22:39, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
