Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ancoats.jpg_of_Murrays'_Mills_complex.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ancoats.jpg_of_Murrays'_Mills_complex.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 03:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but I reverted my edit two minutes after adding WP:UNI because I noticed the same thing you did. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmstephany (talk • contribs) 20:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Strangeways riot

I'm planning on nominating it for GA in a few days, as it's not completely finished yet. I want to expand the "Aftermath" section slightly to include more about the reforms and future direction of the Prison Service post-Woolf Report. Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 22:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

GA review of Deva Victrix

I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on getting this up to GA status: a few months ago, I despaired of it ever being salvageable, but I think you've done a really good job with it over the past month. Once again, well done!  DDStretch  (talk) 18:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Denshaw and Barnstar

Thanks ever so much for the Barnstar! I haven't had one for ages, although wasn't trying that hard anyway (honest!). I've got to thank you for the support on the Denshaw article. I'm just waiting for the stats to update to see what kind of traffic we got today.

Like you said somewhere, this kind of coverage actually did more good than harm, and proves Wikipedia can work. --Jza84 |  Talk 

Hi, sorry about that. My friend got a hold of my account at school and edited the article. I've since changed my password, sorry about the trouble he caused.

Whoops

Also, excuse my lack of a headline in the previous section. I haven't logged onto my account in a while and I've forgotten how to use it properly.

4/22 DYK

On 22 April, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Denshaw, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Re: Milnrow

Hi there! Thanks for the help with this page. I think Clegg Hall is in Milnrow; I suspect it's certainly within the boundaries of what was the Milnrow Urban District at least.

Let me get back to you on that one. Give me a couple of hours and I'll see what I can find in a book my brother has. :)

Thanks again. --Jza84 |  Talk  18:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the delay. In short, yes it's within Milnrow, but feet away from the old Littleborough Urban District boundary, or so I'm told! Thanks for this info. --Jza84 |  Talk  00:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: May Newsletter

Yes, I could use some help with that progress report. Thank you for your comments, I should have them in in time for delivery. Happy editing, Basketball110 ^{My story}/_{Tell me yours} 01:09, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Would you finish the newsletter and send it out, due to my Jordan-like retirement? Basketball110 ^{My story}/_{Tell me yours} 23:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I think I can deliver the newsletter (Why? you may ask... I'll get to that). Also, thank you for convincing me that there is good reason to stay an active contributor. Thank you, again. Basketball110 ^{My story}/_{Tell me yours} 22:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello, sorry for the delay! In short... it's a thumbs up from me! --Jza84 |  Talk  00:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Murrays' Mill

I've reviewed Murrays' Mills, and placed it on hold, since there are a few things which need addressing. I've left a note on the talk page. Feel free to discuss this review with me. Gwinva (talk) 05:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I started an attempt at a new map using various sources, unfortunatley, when attempting it I was reminded that I have the artistic ability of a chimp :), and my half done attempt is quite poor. If you arent in the process of constructing something yourself, I wonder if Jza84 might have time to look at this? He seems to have a good track record in drawing maps. Pit-yacker (talk) 11:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

That's a good idea, I've made a request on Jza84's talk page. Sadly, your plan is probably better than any I could draw :-) Nev1 (talk) 22:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Deva Victrix II

This is already an extremely thorough and well-researched article and after copy-editing should be outstandingly good. The reason I suggested that someone else copy-edited is not because your English language skills aren't up to the job but because, having work long and hard on this, you are probably too close to the text to cut it objectively. The alternative was a sort of copy-edit by proxy, where I advise you what you cut and you implement it. Unfortunately, this is horribly time-consuming and, as I have a houseful of builders here for the next few weeks, not very practical. I'll be glad to help you prepare this for re-nomination, though I don't have huge amounts of time free. For info, the copy-edit I did for Maximian took about ten hours, plus reading time. Anyhow, to summarise, this article deserves to be FA and, with the help of various Milhist resources, I'm sure we can get it there without too much pain. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 07:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. I wish you every good luck and should you encounter any difficulties, my door (as it were) is ever open :) --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 07:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry it did not get to FA. Hope you do not feel too frustrated. Best wishes. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Murrays' Mills

I'll probably be hung, drawn and quartered in the next 24 hours yes! And that's if I'm lucky! But sure, I'd be happy to help with that. Thankfully I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator which are industry standard, and a piece of paper someplace suggests I'm capable to use them! It might be a couple of days, and I would need some source material to work from (feel free to e-mail me), but sure I can put something together I think. :) --Jza84 |  Talk  22:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes if you could ask him that would be great! Was it something like this you and he were thinking of?

On RFA, I'm aware I've been in several scrapes, but disputes are inevitable as we all know. I know I've been in a few heated debates (the articles I watch mean they can be near nuclear!), but I like to think I've not been inconsiderate. At worst I'll get feedback. As I told Malleus, if I don't get the buttons, it's not the end of the world for me. --Jza84 |  Talk  23:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Let's see if I pass first!! I pledge that I will not be taking the Rudget stance on this. Though I do not doubt that his work is vitally important, my first love is articles, not the backroom discussions and obscure noticeboards. I want the tools, categorically, for our project! Just look at the madness that happened on Rochdale, or when I had to wait 4 days to get Castleton to become a disambiguation page, or having to submit one of those lengthy forms to get things like Jim McMahon (politician) off the site... Hell, if I don't get this, I think you're next inline!! --Jza84 |  Talk  00:21, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Williams and Farnie does have an alternative diagram, unfortunately I cant get the scanner to work at the moment (come to think of it nothing works on this computer at the moment). Pit-yacker (talk) 21:38, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of 1990 Strangeways Prison riot

The article 1990 Strangeways Prison riot you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:1990 Strangeways Prison riot for things needed to be addressed.

Castlesteads

Yes, you are right, this (or relevant confusions) will arise again, so its is best to do as you suggested. Cheers, Cplakidas (talk) 00:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Canterbury

I think the article's ready for another review. Epbr123 (talk) 19:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar!!! My aim is to get the article up to FL status, but from what I can remember from the Grade I debate there needed to be blue links to all the listed buildings within the list. I'll go through the discussion again though. —PolishName 14:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar!!! It is much appreciated. Also thanks for the considerable effort that you put into the Murrays' Mills article. Pit-yacker (talk) 20:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Grade II*

No problem. Just wondering if you saw the note I put on the Grade II* talk page about the confusing amout of listings concerning Winstanley Hall in Wigan. Your help there would be greatly appreciated.—PolishName 18:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

City of Salford

Hi, Nev1. I have given a second opinion about this article that you nominated for GA status. Have a look at my suggestions here. Axl (talk) 17:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I have passed the article. Axl (talk) 12:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

St Anne's Church, Haughton Green

Hello there. An editor has pointed out that while St Anne's Church, Haughton Green is in Haughton, it is not in Haughton Green. You wrote most of the article, so I am just checking if you have any objections/comments etc re a move to "St Anne's Church, Haughton" or (better) "St Anne's Church, Denton". Regards, Mr Stephen (talk) 18:01, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

The source I had said, Haughton Green. However, it's not a hugely significant point and it could be wrong. I'd raise no objections in changing the name to "St Anne's Church, Denton" as a slightly more ambiguous name. Nev1 (talk) 18:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. Which source was that? The new Pevsner puts St Anne's in Denton and not in Haughton Green (Haughton is not listed). Just AIUI, Haughton Green is to the south. Mr Stephen (talk) 19:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

The source I used was Tameside 1700-1930. Nev1 (talk) 13:40, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
