"an an" - " an an " -"air force" -antonov -chinese -vietnam -korean - useful for double "an"s, but watch out for things like "An Post" (excluded, but similar for other gaelic names). Usually just replace with an, but possibly other intentions ("and an", "at an", and "as an").

Some permanent links
Prompted by a good question from User:SovalValtos I thought I'd investigate how to record discussions etc so you can find them. I knew it could be done, but wasn't sure how: the answer is at Help:Permanent link.

So here is my list to some discussions etc that I know are out there somewhere in Wikipedia but I'm damned if I can remember... The first example is not vanity - just my response to the question that prompted this list. And if the discussion has been archived, you can create a more specific link to the section of the talk page, for example:
 * Talk WikiProject Wales: Historic Wales site - how to use the historic wales website to create sources for references
 * Talk WikiProject Wales, section Historic Wales site - the same link as above but the syntax makes it usable from outside Wikipedia (eg in emails)
 * Discussion on road bridges in RDTs from December 2011 (thanks to User:Lamberhurst for recently using this good example in a recent discussion)

Maintenance categories to monitor

 * Category:Unassessed Wales articles
 * Category:Gwent geography stubs
 * Category:Wales castle stubs - 2 to go - should be empty...
 * Category:Pages using infobox locomotive with unknown parameters

Links to drafts etc
First, useful references:


 * User:Robevans123/sandbox/Bibilo - eh? Biblio - list of some sources

And some very drafty drafts:


 * Lillie Bridge depot - draft
 * Richard Evans (lifeboat coxswain) - draft
 * Neasden depot
 * All Saints, Llanfrechfa - you really must finish this one
 * St Basil's Church, Bassaleg - just an i*****x at the moment
 * Cwmbran Central a welsh community
