Naming conventions for places in Wales
Hi Ghmyrtle, about a year ago you contributed to a debate I started on naming conventions for places in Wales. At the time, I think we agreed that 'regional' descriptors weren't generally useful when describing Welsh towns. However, User:Welshleprechaun has made an edit on Swansea Cork ferry which I believe opens the issue up again. I'd welcome your input in the discussion at Talk:Swansea Cork ferry so that we can nail this down one way or the other.--Pondle (talk) 22:09, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Is it a Welsh thing ?
Why are you playing a ukelele in a wigwam ? "I'm leaning on a Cheyenne at the corner of the street; In case a certain Colonel Custer goes by". Hee hee. Turned out nice again. Derek R Bullamore (talk) 13:28, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Because I had a ukulele, and I had a wigwam. (I also had a toy drum set... perhaps I should have turned into Don Partridge rather than wasting time here?)  But not in Wales - although my dad's grandmother apparently (I only recently found out) only spoke Welsh.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:29, 6 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Cor, how the other half lived. On the Wirral eh, Heswall was it or Parkgate perhaps ? Pretty posh, if my memory serves me right. A ukelele AND a wigwam.  I grew up in Hull, and I had a bogie and eczema - although not necessarily in that order. We 'ad it tough.


 * Derek R Bullamore (talk) 23:45, 6 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Definitely not the posh bit. But my dad did know this band's manager!  Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:26, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Sonny Boy Williamson
Okay I have no idea where to reply to your message so Ill add my reply here- since you took it upon yourself to invade MY "page"- Ill do the same to you.

I have to say I really dont care what you think about my "contributions" to Wikipedia. I assume youre the type who has nothing better to do than sit around "editing" this thing. I assume you spend like,,,,80 % of your time here. You made a big snotty deal about the info I added to Sonny Boy Williamson but how would you feel if I snubbed your little welsh pages?? As if I care anyway but think about that. You give me the impression that youre just being a know-it-all who takes it upon yourself to stick your nose in. I like the fact that you seem to be into a lot of good music but..... At least I tried to do something here. At least I tried to add a bit of info about a man who most people could give a crap less about....this includes you and the rest of the ,,ugh,,,UK. I honestly dont care what you think or what little snobby "editing" youve done to my stuff here. I truly dont. Thats the problem with some people. They think they know everything. Dont look surprised. What do you expect?

Mississippi Slim (country singer)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Mississippi Slim (country singer), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Mississippi Slim. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:32, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi there,


 * You triggered the bot by doing what is called a cut & paste move, that is, trying to give an existing article a new title by simply taking the last version and pasting it under the new name.


 * By doing so, you're separating the article text from the contributor history, which happens to be one of the oh so many ways to inadvertently create a copyvio.


 * In a similar situation, the clean way to do this is simply to use the move function to give the article its new title, then replace the redirect on the original with the disambig page. With moving, the article history follows suit.


 * If for whatever reason moving is not possible or in doubt, it's better to post at WP:Requested moves to get it done. Fixing cut & paste moves are a bit a PITA :) It's all sorted now, though. Cheers, MLauba (Talk) 14:46, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Umm, yes, I know - I started it wrong, so I thought I'd finish it wrong as well rather than confusing myself halfway through. Sorry.  :-)  Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Many thanks for your efforts. I wonder if... DYK that the American R&B, soul and funk singer, songwriter and record producer, The Mighty Hannibal, once sang with only two pips, and was later known for "Jerkin' the Dog"? ...might pass the censors ??


 * Derek R Bullamore (talk) 15:32, 2 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Mmmm .... needless to say our efforts on the hook fell on humourless Yank ears. It now has all the 'hookiness' of a squashed tomato. Potential of Wiki viewers falls from 5,000 to three in one stroke.  Actually for an article created on 1 May, it has taken almost three weeks to get to this  stage, which hardly inspires me to bother at DYK anymore. I noticed your most recent submission was almost swallowed by pettiness.  Is it just me ?


 * Derek R Bullamore (talk) 15:20, 18 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Totally agree - but I think the point to bear in mind is that we (you/me) are being credited for the quality of the article, rather than the quality of the hook. I understand (I'm sure other people read this, so I definitely do understand) that there are sometimes important WP:BLP issues to be taken into account, but recent DYKs have been no fun at all - long delays for no reason (other than lack of assessors), absence of any sense of humo u r among some of the assessors, and so on.  Never mind - it's only a game...  Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:06, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Welsh placenames
Not too keen on the new history intro. For one thing, the Anglo-Saxons etc didn't settle England. It became England after they invaded. If the point is to show that Wales became distinct from adjoining parts of the island it should probably say so. However, the Britons were already distinct. It was the parts of Great Britain the Anglo-Saxons settled that became distinct from it. I would prefer to discuss the section on the Talk page, but I have to leave shortly and will be abroad for a couple of days, so may not have access to (or time for) Wiki. I'll leave it as it is 'till then. It won't cause the world to end, after all. I didn't want to make changes and then go silent without letting you know why.

Crowle Advertiser
Hi Ghmyrtle,

Many thanks for your response to my query on User:Derek R Bullamore's discussion page regarding Music article info boxes, an area that seems quite fraught.

Having looked at your interests, particularly that of history, I am hoping you might be able to give me a few pointers regarding an article I would like to create... surrounding an historic newspaper from Crowle, the now extinct Crowle Advertiser. Having looked at the Crowle article I think what I have to offer Wikipedia is so extensive that it would require more than a section in the Crowle article; if added there it would make that article unbalanced. I have researched and logged a very large number of historic Crowle Advertiser newspaper articles gleaned from the British Library Newspaper Archive at Colindale. These articles are over one hundred years old and would therefore be out of copyright. I book-formed the articles and deposited the document in local archives where they are externally referenced on-line as a source.

The question is this: if I created such an article, headed with a intro para about the paper, do you think it Wiki-kosher to add these articles, or more probably selections/excerpts from these articles, being that they would all be cited, albeit to the same source? I would be grateful for any advice you may be able to give, or for any other user you feel may be able to help. Best wishes,

Lovecraft (band) and H.P. Lovecraft (band)
Thank you for bringing my attention to the discussion in relation to merging these two articles. I started the Lovecraft (band) page because it seemed to me that the originator of the H.P. Lovecraft (band) page regarded the successor band as completely separate in terms of musical style and historical significance; hence the successor band was treated almost like a footnote on the H.P. Lovecraft page. In terms of the history of Lovecraft, the successor band, particularly as related to their final album (which bore little relationship to their first, in terms of either personnel or musical style), the sentiments would appear to have some merit. In other words, H.P. Lovecraft was truly distinct as a band; those following that band do not necessarily follow or have an interest in Lovecraft, the successor band. This would seem to be a bit different from the Electric Prunes situation, where a later band used the name and recorded under it, in circumstances where the band name was owned by management. The history of the Electric Prunes seems to incorporate both bands, without apparent objection, perhaps because the band was not strongly associated with particular personalities.

Hope this is helpful. I don't know if the protocol is to simply cut and paste this into the Lovecraft/H.P. Lovecraft discussion page. Please let me know or convey my sentiments directly.

Many thanks for making me aware of this debate.

I have now gone to the discussion pages and agree with you that an appropriate analogy is that of Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship, which have separate pages.

Dreadarthur (talk) 14:52, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Given the strength of User:Kohoutek1138's sentiments in relation to merger and in the interest of closure, I have not further opposed his arguments, as you will see from the H.P. Lovecraft (band) Talk page. Hopefully some of what I did on the Lovecraft (band) page will be viewed as adding to the larger article.

Dreadarthur (talk) 17:56, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if Kahoutek1138's comparison to Eric Burdon and the New Animals is as strong as your own Jefferson Airplane versus Jefferson Starship analogy, though the comparative obscurity of the H.P. Lovecraft and Lovecraft bands would seem to provide stronger support for no separate pages.

if you'd like to email I can be reached at
