Concern regarding Draft:Epistemic auditing
Hello, John Desmond. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Epistemic auditing, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 04:06, 14 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Having reflected upon my contemplated edit of the page, I have come to the same conclusion that was expressed by an adjudicator - that its contents constitute original research. John Desmond (talk) 09:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Canon Davies
Absolutely delighted that Canon Davies has an article. I had no idea. I shall see what I can add. On titling, there is neither Ebenezer Davies nor Ebenezer Thomas Davies, so perhaps a simpler title? Or maybe E. T. Davies is how he was best known? He conducted my sister’s wedding, and was a deeply kind and thoughtful man. And he contributed a great deal to the history of my adopted county.

Stelvio House, Newport
How odd that our paths should cross for a second time. I am thinking of re-naming Stelvio House, Newport to Stelvio House, 15 and 17 Stow Park Circle to enable better coverage of/linkage to the Registered historic Park and Garden. The page's originator hasn't edited for seven years, and you're the next most-prolific contributor. Any objections/thoughts? KJP1 (talk) 07:35, 27 March 2024 (UTC)


 * It might help you to understand my reply when I disclose that I used the article multiple times like a microbiologist uses a Petrie dish to undertake an experiment - to more quickly learn how to insert links into an article than by accessing Wikipedia Help, which I didn't find easy to understand. That said, I perceive 'Stelvio House, 15 and 17 Stow Park Circle' as compromising the conciseness and intelligibility of 'Stelvio House, Newport'. However, if re-naming the article like this is the only way to enable better coverage/linkage to the Registered historic Park and Garden then so be it. Regardless, there would not appear to be any moral principle at stake here. Consequently, I would not regard re-naming the article as objectionable. I hope this reply is useful.

parenthetical referencing
I removed the parenthetical referencing that you added to 1859 Welsh revival. That style of referencing has been deprecated on Wikipedia since 2020; see WP:PAREN for details. Also, please use template:blockquote instead of manual indentations, and don't add external URLs in the body. Hope that helps! Schazjmd  (talk)  23:11, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
