Erm... and 55 others related to the Cardiff Bus service articles. If you are happy for me to simply add the name of the image as the descriptor for all of these files (56 off the list :p), just leave me a "You could have done that without cluttering up my talk page, you Scottish git..." message. Either here, or there... :) Best wishes --Haruth (talk) 14:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
No problems. I'll get on to that. The 55 others are images of the route numbers. Best wishes --Haruth (talk) 00:29, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

cardiff arcades

I don't know if you know Cardiff, but the media Wales (S Wales echo) article was a lie (or at least the curzon rep was lieing), as many buisness have closed down in recent months and few reopening, and no expanding, You can see for your self.

Rhymney River

Hi Welshleprechaun

I've replied on my talk page but thought I'd drop you a line here anyway. Previously numerous articles linked to either River Rhymney or Rhymney River. I've been editing the River Rhymney's into Rhymney River's to ensure some consistency. I agree that the word order is unusual for a British river name and I can only immediately think of its two neighbours the Sirhowy River and the Ebbw River which follow this unusual line. If you do as I did, a Google search on this word order for any of the three, you'll get a much larger trawl of results for 'X River', similarly they are all named in this reverse fashion on Ordnance Survey maps.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:08, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Economy of Cardiff template

We have to apply some discretion in this template, it will become meaningless if it is simply a list of every organisation in Cardiff (or for that matter, every event that has or will take place there). After all, the focus here is on the economy. Independent record labels can be as small as a micro-business or even a sole trader - there's little evidence that the ones we're debating are any bigger. These kinds of enterprise make absolutely trivial contributions to a local economy. A takeaway could employ more people and have a higher turnover! I have no objections to these garage labels appearing on a music or culture template (as long as they are notable within that context, and not just releasing music by unknown local bands) but they are out of place here.--Pondle (talk) 16:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

List of tallest buildings in the United Kingdom

I'm glad that you're looking for compromise, but I still think that your line:

As of 2010, the majority of buildings taller than 100m are concentrated in London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester

is a little misleading. Of all the buildings on the list, three are in Manchester, two each in Leeds and in Liverpool, but a whopping 37 are in London! So it would be more reasonable to say:

As of 2010, the majority of buildings taller than 100m are concentrated in London.

In my view, it would be more sensible to return to the original simple line:

This is a list of the tallest buildings in the United Kingdom taller than 100 metres (330 ft).

The reader can then see for themselves what and where the buildings are.

BTW as far as this is concerned - well, neither of us exactly covered ourselves in glory in that little episode (I've never said that I was perfect) but I don't think it's particularly good example of bad faith on my part. I was sticking up for a long-standing MoS and supported by other editors on the talk page. Anyway, let's try to move past that and work constructively where we can. I sense that we are always going to have disagreements but Wikipedia isn't a place to hold grudges, we should discuss differences, as we are doing now.--Pondle (talk) 17:20, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

They go round and round, you know.

If you pick the names that the world already uses, and the scopes that it gives, for these things, three things will happen:

  • You won't face accusations of original research.
  • Instead of these things being obscure articles for a niche group of bus enthusiasts, they become important articles in human geography, dealing with the local transport geography of a major conurbation.
  • As a consequence, you can probably rope in the railway article writers, cycling article writers, and human geographers from other WikiProjects to turn the articles from things that people dismiss as "just those bus geeks writing timetables" into what you could probably make, as long as you incorporated all of the human geography aspects, into GA or FA class articles on these various transport corridors.

Wales

I have put the Wales article forward for GA status. It just needs tweaking, and maybe a heavy-handed swipe from outside to get it in place. I am writing to those who are constant contributors and defenders of Wales and Welsh articles, to not scream at me for doing this, but to help get the article through. If we fail, we fail, there is nothing wrong with that; but Wales should be a Good Article at least and if it takes good intentioned amateurs to reach that then so be it. FruitMonkey (talk) 01:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Sport in Cardiff

I noticed that you changed the Welsh translation templates of the Cardiff leisure centres from ''{{lang|}}'' to ''{{lang-cy}}'. Before you change any other translations, I wanted to make sure you were aware of its effect: 1 it causes the word “Welsh” (linking to Welsh language) to appear before the each translation – an overlink. 2 the translation changes to normal script, rather than italics (as it should be). Do you think they should be changed back or should they stay as they are? Daicaregos (talk) 14:11, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

File:Cardiff Leisure Centres.jpg

Hi there, just noticed this image that you created showing the locations of leisure centres in Cardiff has a mistake on it. You've placed the International Pool where St David's hotel is rather than in the Sports Village which is where it actually is. Also, Channel View isn;t a leisure centre, it's just a centre just like the STAR Centre. - Happysailor 10:56, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Sparks page

Hi Welshleprechaun,

Please can you let me know who you are (preferably outside Wiki) so I can discuss the Sparks page with you (I am assuming you are a fellow CRT26 member!). I have given much time and thought to creating this page and setting it up a certain way. I partly (not entirely) undid some of your recent revisions, and note that you have since completely unwound this! Doesn't seem a lot of point entering a game of Wiki revision tennis, I reckon we can come to an agreement as to what to put on the page. Please contact to discuss.

Hi welshleprechaun

My apologies, I assumed you like I were a member of Cardiff Round Table (we organise the event). It's good to have one of the proper Wiki guys on the case.

Fair point about some of the edits. A few things that I think are worth doing:

- One of the links that I had up was to the Charities Commission Page about Cardiff Round Table's charitable fund. I can tell you that Sparks in the Park is basically the only fundraising activity that CRT organises. Therefore, the financial history given there is a direct record of the money raised at the event over the past several years. You can't get much more neutral than the page of the charities regulator.

- The Wales Online article that is up there about Sparks 2009 can be updated with their write up of Sparks 2010 here: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/cardiffonline/cardiff-news/2010/11/08/sparkling-display-for-south-wales-crowds-91466-27616502/

- I can't see any issue with the "Aims of Sparks in the Park" section?

- I also think that some of the early history of the event is worth having up there. Some of that is on the page http://www.cardiffroundtable.org/history-of-sparks-in-the-park/

- The stuff about Sparks in the Park Highland Michigan was added by them not me. It seems only fair though to give a mention to other events to use the name.

(The) Cardiff Story

Hi Welshleprechaun,

I understand what you are saying, however the first piece of text on the official website says "The first Cardiff Story galleries will open on the 1st April, 2011"...also in the latest News on 10/3/2011 "Cardiff Story opening date announced"...also in the Big Give it says "Through the Cardiff Story Big Arts Give Christmas Challenge, you can help us ensure that we deliver world class galleries by making a donation towards its development..." all of which suggests (along with the website www.cardiffstory.com) that "The" is not really part of the title otherwise "the" would be in capitals. See the Manual of Style, which states "Do not use a, an, or the as the first word (Economy of the Second Empire, not The economy of the Second Empire), unless by convention it is an inseparable part of a name (The Hague)" I feel (from the above examples) that "The" is not an inseparable part of the name, so that is why I changed it.

Swansea

Your last edit summary on Swansea did concern me. Although I don't disagree with your reversion of the previous edit, I do have concerns about bringing the tribal rivalries of South Wales onto the pages of Wikipedia. I don't believe it is either helpful or appropriate, especially from an experienced editor. Both Cardiff and Swansea seem to be estimable cities. Editing summaries such as your recent one, although not part of the article, can suggest a partisan view and risk fuelling edit wars.  Velella  Velella Talk   22:27, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Media in Cardiff

That source is from Cardiff Council in 2003! It is nearly 2012 now and a lot of things change considerably in a decade. Plus that fact that is probably bias as it is produced by Cardiff Council. Likewise Leeds and Manchester local authorities claim the same and there is little honesty. From the research I've done, Manchester has the largest media sector outside London. I can't find anything that backs Cardiff.

Picture remains bright as BBC gears up for move, 16 June 2010. The FT - quote: "Manchester is home to far and away the biggest broadcasting cluster outside London"

Manchester to be home of new body for media and digital sector, 21 February 2011. Manchester Evening News - quote: "Manchester is the economic centre of the north west, and Europe’s second largest media hub after London. "The creative, digital & new media sector in Greater Manchester employs 61,000 and is worth £2.6bn."

Creative and Media Industries - Manchester MIDAS (questionable). Quote: Manchester is Europe’s second largest creative, digital and media hub and the industry is growing faster here than anywhere else in the UK. With strengths in everything from film and TV to games development. Employing over 64,000 people across 5,800 businesses, the creative, digital and new media sector can be found in most districts and suburbs.

North West Region - Manchester opendoorsmedia.co.uk - Quote: At the moment Manchester is responsible for 16% of the entire of the UK’s media output.

I'm deleting that quote from the Media in Cardiff. The FT is a certainly a reliable source. If you can find a reliable, up to date source which can state that Cardiff has the largest media sector outside London then you can re-add the statement. As it stands, I see nothing to suggest otherwise. Stevo1000 (talk) 02:10, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Variants of English

In a recent edit to the page Vibeke Hein Bæra, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. __meco (talk) 20:11, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

ESC 2013

Hi there,

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you could explain further why removing this part from the lead section of ESC 2013 is irrelevant as a reason? Isn't the lead suppose to summarise the content of the entire article anyway? ESC 2012 is under GA review, and it was pointed out that such details should be included briefly in the lead, so that it invites the reader to want to read more of the article. Wesley☀Mouse 20:29, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Of course. You're right - the lede/lead should indeed summarise the article. However, the information I removed was not part of the summary of this article, which concerns Eurovision 2013 not Eurovision 2011. It is entirely relevant that Armenia is returning after a year break, but what their 2011 entry was and who sung it does not pertain to information regarding the 2013 show. I have nothing against bringing more info into the lead to invite the reader to read on about the 2013 contest. If they wish to read details about 2011, they can do so on the 2011 article, to which a link is provided within the info retained. Welshleprechaun 20:58, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Based on your interpretation there, it doesn't reflect on what I have been told they way articles should be portrayed, and what they should include. Yes, the 2013 article should primarily have details/information about the 2013 contest. However, in the ESC 2012 GA review currently on-going I have been told that if we're to mention a country returning, then we should also mention briefly who represented that country last, and with what song. This provides a brief update to a reader, saving them the time to trawl through other articles just to find out who last represented a nation and with what song, and also presents a good detailed article for the general reader who may not be familiar with Eurovision. So who is right, the GA reviewer and how they say what should be included, or yourself, who is saying such details are irrelevant? Wesley☀Mouse 21:13, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Message from the Editorial Team

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome!

Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. It is easy for editors to get into conflict with each other, and things can get very nasty on the most trivial of issues, whether that be on the language of songs, the names of certain countries, or how we deal with incidents at the contest. In such circumstances it is worth remembering one thing: we are all here to build an encyclopedia, and the contribution of Eurovision to human knowledge can only be given justice if we work together and make articles, not drama!

  • If you would like something to appear in the August 2012 Edition of the newsletter, then please inform us at the Project Newsdesk.
  • If there is an article you think we should have? Request it here.

Happy editing!

Project News
  • When creating new articles about a performer or song, please remember to add sources either from Eurovision.tv, ESCToday or other reliable sources. If you're not sure a source is reliable enough, then ask the project for an opinion.
  • Remember to only add content to articles that is relevant to the article's main subject. Anything not in relation to the article may be questioned and/or subject to redirection to an article that would benefit it's inclusion. Again if in doubt, ask on the article or project talk pages for an opinion - communication is an important tool.
  • On the subject of communication, please make use of the article talk pages. They are a vital tool in conducting consensus talks of additions of proposed new sections and/or removal of unnecessary section. If you don't use these pages to put across your views, then you only have yourself to blame if actions are taken that you disagree with and you end up wandering into edit warring territory.
  • The 2012 season of Eurovision has drawn to a close, and we now start preparations for the 2013 edition. While things will be slow to start of with, now is the ideal opportunity to do a clean-up exercise across articles relating to the project. There's over 4,500 articles associated with the project. If you happen to see a Eurovision related article without the {{EurovisionNotice}} template on the article's talk page, please add it. You can also read Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment if you would like to help assess or reassess articles in our project if you see that they have outgrown their current assessment. There is currently one unassessed article.
  • And finally... a massive thank you to all members of the project for your constant hard work on collaborating and contributing to Eurovision related articles. Keep up the good work team!

Swansea (again)

Welshleprechaun: Wikipedia was to established to provide accurate information on a variety of subjects, not pander to childish, parochial prejudices. As stated by Pondle, the article on Swansea is about the whole city and county, not merely the urban areas. If you cannot drop your parochial nonsense, I strongly recommend that you stop contributing.
Welshleprechaun, this is silly. The article is about the whole city and county of Swansea, not just the urban area. It's always stated the population of the LA in the lead.Pondle (talk) 19:03, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Hmmm, I never realised that only the figure for the urban subdivision was being cited in the lead - this change seems to have been introduced sometime in 2011, and strangely passed me by. It made the article inconsistent with the topic - which is, to repeat, *the City and County* of Swansea, not an ONS statistical artefact - and also inconsistent with the other Welsh cities.
All the Welsh cities contain rural areas as well as an urban core, and all of them have different population data for the local authority, the ONS urban subdivision and the wider urban area stretching beyond the county boundaries. You'll know all this from past debates on the Cardiff talk page.
As for your point about what figure people are most interested in, well, the most common practice is to use local authority figures as the basic of city populations - as in the recent Welsh Government reports on city regions, [1] or this LSE report on the 2001 census.[2] This is fine because, as again you'll know from past debates, city status was granted to the *counties* of Swansea (and Cardiff) in 1996 - not to the ONS urban subdivisions of the same name.[3]
On the issue of your objectivity, well I'm afraid that claim would have more credibility if you didn't have a history of provocative edits and edit summaries on Swansea-related articles. I'm far from being the only editor who's noticed the pattern.Pondle (talk) 19:32, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Welshleprechaun, sadly there are times when an editor's record and past conduct is pertinent, and given edits and comments like these[4][5][6][7][8][9] you can hardly claim to have a history of accurate, helpful and non-partisan contributions to Swansea and related articles. As for 'provocative edits' on my part, well I believe that you're the only one who's ever "had a problem" with my record on here, which I think speaks for itself.
Local boosterism does indeed happen on lots of articles, but singling out Swansea as a particularly "notorious" example is a bit rich. If you ask a neutral such as Snowded, Bettia or Ghmyrtle I'm sure they'll confirm that much of the problem with boastful additions and peacock terms on Welsh articles has, sadly, been on Cardiff and related pages (including a few changes that you yourself have made over the years, such as [10][11][12]).
As for the issue at hand, I'd only support placing the ONS urban area stats in the lead on Swansea if that approach was applied consistently across the Cardiff, Newport and Wrexham articles too. Swansea shouldn't be singled out for special treatment simply because you feel that its boundaries city are 'wrong'. This is supposed to be a neutral encyclopedia, for that we need a consistent approach. Pondle (talk) 13:09, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Of course content disagreements are par for the course on Wikipedia. But where I've had occasional differences with editors such as Daicaregos or FruitMonkey, we've always been able to resolve them amicably, and I've never questioned the motivation for their edits.
In contrast, many of your edits on Swansea-related pages - for example, your removal of Swansea from the Mumbles Pier article, or your recent change of "Swansea Central Library" to "Swansea Library" - have been both inaccurate and (at best) pointedly unhelpful. Ten seconds of Googling would have shown you that "Swansea Central Library" is indeed correct, so why make this change? Were you trying to make a point or simply to irritate other contributors?
As for your accusation that the Swansea article is "notorious" for boosterism: (a) 'notorious' suggests "widely known", whereas you're the only person making this claim; and (b) you'd be taken more seriously if you could provide diffs as evidence. At the moment, your allegation seems to be based solely on the fact that the ONS urban area stat isn't mentioned in the lead, as opposed to the infobox or the demography section. That's pretty thin gruel. Notice that recent versions of the Cardiff and Newport articles haven't even mentioned the equivalent figure anywhere. By your definition, isn't that also "notorious boosterism"?
Having said all this, I welcome your acceptance of consistency, and there does need to be a broader discussion of what stats belong in which parts of each article. The current approach is a mess that lends itself to POV disputes, and the WP:UKCITIES guidelines aren't that helpful on the technicalities of population statistics. I'll raise this elsewhere.

WikiProject Eurovision: Recent changes

Hello,

Please note that there have been some changes to operations surrounding Eurovision articles, these being that:

  • Template names have now been modernised and/or megred into super-templates, for example Countries in the Eurovision Song Contest has now been merged into Template:Eurovision Song Contest making it even easier to find everything under one template. If you are planning to create a new template, please keep the standardised titles in mind. Other templates have been modernised and a full list of them can be found here.
  • The Eurovision Song Contest and Junior Eurovision Song Contest articles have now been standardised to keep a consitancy throughout the project and to the genral reader too. Skeleton article drafts can be found for Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year.

If you have any questions, please ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision.

You are receiving this message since you are listed as a member of WikiProject Eurovision. If you are no longer interested in contributing to Eurovision articles, please remove your username from this page.

New Wales Coast Path WikiProject

I see you're a member of WikiProject Wales and have contributed to Welsh articles. There's a new project, Llwybrau Byw!|Living Paths! under development which you might be able to contribute to. Lonely Planet rated the coast of Wales "the best region on Earth" in 2012, yet there is a very low number of articles on the history and culture of places along the Coastal Path and the many and various activities and attractions. This promises to be an exciting project as it gathers momentum with many Users joining in. Let's make this WikiProject, like the path itself, the best on earth!

Speedy deletion nomination of Cardiff East

A tag has been placed on Cardiff East requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.
