DYK for Stroma, Scotland

On 3 January 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Stroma, Scotland, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Scottish island of Stroma was inhabited for thousands of years but was abandoned in 1962, with the last islanders leaving their houses (pictured) to fall into ruin? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Stroma, Scotland. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Your opinions on the TFA coordinator position

Hi Prioryman. I recently had my first interaction with our current TFA coordinator, and it raised some doubts in my mind about whether we have the right person for the job or not. I won't go into the details, but it raised severe concerns about whether the current occupant has sufficient respect for bedrock principles like WP:OWN and WP:CONSENSUS.

But all that occurred in the context of a very controversial proposal, so maybe I just did something wrong myself than made him "see red'-- that's fine, we all have bad days.

I read somewhere that you told the prior coordinator that "enough was enough" due to inactivity, so you seemed like a good person to ask about whether we have the right man in the job, or alternatively, whether that TFA job description should be rewritten entirely. I've considered that how important the position is, we should have regular site-wide candidate searches, or perhaps just roll the position into the electoral process, like Arbcom.

What do you think-- is the status quo working at TFA, or could we be doing better with some sort of reform? --HectorMoffet (talk) 22:01, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of Fortifications

Hi Chris! I revisited this list yesterday and remembered it requires a fair bit of work but I'd forgotten that you were working on it in your userspace until it appeared on my watchlist today. Nice to see you back on the Gib articles. Please let me know how I can help. Also noticed you've started the following articles:

Thanks for this! My second child has just been born but as soon as I find some time I'll try to get you some photos for these. By the way, I noticed a glitch with the military structure infobox yesterday. I'll try to fix these in the above-mentioned articles but be sure to use the parameters from this template going forward to avoid problems. Cheers, --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 01:59, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Retrenched Barracks

I think this and Lathbury Barracks are one and the same... Also referred to as the Retrenchment Block. --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 01:27, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're right... unfortunately I can't find any sources that indicate a renaming. Any ideas? Thanks for fixing the infoboxes, by the way, and congrats on your new arrival! Prioryman (talk) 23:33, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the congrats!

"Lathbury Barracks" is definitely the most popular name with over 9,900 hits on Google followed by "Retrenched Barracks with 1,500 hits and "Retrenchment Block" with 539. However, most of the results for "Retrenched Barracks" seem to be Wikipedia mirror sites. It seems that here in Gib "Lathbury Barracks" is used to refer to the wider complex with the stone building being called the "Retrenchment Block".[1][2][3] What do you think? --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 15:22, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Referenda or referendums?

Hi, I noticed that way back in 2004, you added the following text to the referendum article:

Referendums is logically preferable as a plural form meaning ballots on one issue (as a Latin gerund, referendum has no plural). The Latin plural gerundive, meaning things to be referred, necessarily connotes a plurality of issues.

You then began changing "referenda" to "referendums" in what has now become a standard practice on Wikipedia. Why does the above passage support this position? 99% of the time, a plural form of "referendum" is being used to mean a plurality of issues. Consider the following sentences:

Many countries held referendums on whether to ratify the UN resolution.
None of the past referendums to change the constitution passed.
Three referendums were held: one on abortion, one on immigration and one on railways.

None of these sentences are using "referendums" to mean "ballots on one issue". I have never seen "referendums" used this way. Because they are not referring to the ballots themselves, I think all of these sentences need "referendums" changed to "referenda". Is this logic sound? If not, please explain how I have misread the Oxford passage. Connor Behan (talk) 23:26, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I found an interpretation of the Oxford passage. Basically it says that if one referendum is on issue A and another referendum is on issue B, they are "referendums" if A and B are related, otherwise they are "referenda". Would you agree? Next time I come across the word, I will change it to agree with this logic. Connor Behan (talk) 00:57, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for creation

Hi Chris, you may have noticed I've added to the Gib to-do list and tidied it up in the process. We now have a section on overview articles which I thought may be of interest to you seeing as you've already created some really good ones (history, Neanderthals, Moorish, fortifications, tunnels, water supply and sanitation, tourism, footpaths...) I'm happy to collaborate if any tickle your fancy. --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 15:09, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Victoria Batteries

Thanks for these too!

Although I understood them to be the same battery. Given that they both had the same name and the newer one was built on the right flank of the pre-existing battery, couldn't it just be considered a modification of the original defences? I'm guessing Hughes and Migos don't agree... By the way do you own a copy of their book? I've been after one for a while! --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 00:35, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Hughes and Migos reproduce the portion of a 1908 Ordnance Survey map showing the batteries, and they are indeed two separate places, with a gap between them, separately labelled as Victoria Battery. I don't have a copy of their book but I've been using the copy in the British Library. I'd imagine there's one in the Gib Library too? Prioryman (talk) 19:00, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, happy to keep them separate then. Was just curious

. I tend to use the Gibraltar Museum's books. They have a copy but would like to own one for my collection.

We still have to sort out the Lathbury/Retrenched Barracks double entry... --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 22:48, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Quneitra, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Keshet. 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.

September 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Gorham's Cave may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Broch

An editor just added a paragraph to Broch. It seems to be sourced, but I don't think a separate section entitled "Summary" is needed. There may be a few details about the structure of a broch that are not in the Broch#Structures section, though. Do you want to take a look at this?
