Talk:Castle Rising Castle

Expansion...
I've gone through and expanded the article; it should all now be referenced with up-to-date sources etc. It will, however, probably benefit from a copyedit! Hchc2009 (talk) 17:43, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Info Box Image
I've changed the info box image for one that shows a greater expanse of the Castle, is in focus and in which greater detail can be viewed in this much larger and higher resolution image. The reason given for reversion was that the original shows greater detail - this is self-evidently not the case; and then on further revision that a higher resolution image is not necessary as the image is not viewed at higher resolution presumably as its represented as a thumbnail on the page. This seems contradictory. In other areas of Wiki higher resolution images are valued in keeping with the Wiki creative commons approach. I'd be happy with a couple of independent views. Thanks.WyrdLight (talk) 20:57, 23 March 2017 (UTC) PS: you can actually see the 'forebuilding' in the updated image as noted in the image title.
 * Yes, I agree that the new image is better quality; it is sharper, has better perspective, covers more of the building and having a higher resolution gives a more interesting viewing experience. -- de Facto (talk). 21:17, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd stick with the original - you can't pick out the architectural details so easily in the one being proposed by the Wyrdlight company. Hchc2009 (talk) 21:53, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Hchc2009 - have you compared the images side by side? In the original image the architectural detail softens and becomes indistinct when one attempts to look at the castle more closely. This doesn't support the article effectively. File:CastleRising-WyrdLight-Wiki.jpg File:Castle Rising Castle - geograph.org.uk - 660628.jpg Thanks & by the way my support of Wiki is arranged with Wiki editorial recommendation to deal with copyright permission issues. WyrdLight (talk) 10:35, 24 March 2017 (UTC) By the way I've a high resolution image taken from the same perspective - not as an effective view point, but it also reminds me the current image was taken from the ground - so there are converging verticals. Standing on the earth works around the castle does mean its easy to take an image that doesn't have this 'defect'. WyrdLight (talk) 10:43, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I rather like both images: they're both arresting. The newer image is a pretty iconic view, and one very similar is used on the cover of Allen Brown's English Castles. Richard Nevell (talk) 10:59, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I buy that argument, on the logic that we'd be following external sources etc. Hchc2009 (talk) 09:31, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks - the hope is always to support the article / subject matter. WyrdLight (talk) 10:26, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Requested move 18 July 2018

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved as requested with the old, merged history relocated to Castle Rising castle. Dekimasu よ! 19:51, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Castle Rising (castle) → Castle Rising Castle – WP:NATURAL, most of the other non-English Wikipedia articles have it at "Castle Rising Castle" (or the language equivalent) and a Google search shows a mixture of "Castle Rising" and "Castle Rising Castle", indicating the latter is a more complete name. A move request on Commons was unopposed. Even though the castle is the original meaning, it looks like it is called "Castle Rising Castle", so it should be OK having "Castle Rising" for the village.
