Brighouse
Hi Keith. Hope you had a nice Xmas, and Happy New Year to you. Brighouse has just had quite a major edit, which I'm not comfortable about. I'd like to undo it, but please could you take a look at it and see what you think? --Storye book (talk) 11:17, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, happy New Year to you. Just had a look at it looks OK to me there is no real change in material apart from the removal of headers and a bit from the end of "the drum & bugle corps, Conquest Alliance" following their disband. Esemgee is a fairly good copy editor of articles though their changes do cause havoc with the diffs, often for very little material change. Keith D (talk) 12:24, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Cheers, thanks! --Storye book (talk) 09:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Ken Bates
Hi. I removed that section in the Ken Bates article because I thought it seemed a bit out of place, he hasn't left Leeds yet and even when he does will be staying in a role as president. It repeated some info already given at the end of the Leeds section about the sale and the mention of him living in Monaco seemed out of place as well. Perhaps I should have brought it up on the talk page, but if you really feel it should remain i'm not going to get into an edit war or anything. Sparhelda 00:38, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining, I just saw it is an unexplained deletion as there was no edit summary and it looked like referenced text. I have removed it now and moved a couple of links from it to the previous section. The referenced bit looks like it is not supported by the reference so I did not retain it.

Hi Keith just perusing your piece on Sheffield Wednesday stadium and I'm confused re the capacity pre the roof on the kop. Pre the roof the capacity was 55,000, so how was that broken down ? I 'm certain there were 25,000 seats ( north, old south and upper west stands) but that leave 30,000 standing and according to your figures that would be 16,000 on the kop and 14,000 on Leppings lane. I can't believe lane end held 14,000,

regards, Simon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.157.4.83 (talk) 01:16, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately I was not the one to add the figures to the article and I do not know the answer to your query. May be you could ask on the article talk page to see if anyone else can provide some information on the capacity figures. Keith D (talk) 12:37, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Diana Johnson image
Thanks very much for the clean-up. Because the previous image was considered doubtful and deleted, I emailed Johnson's office with a request for an image in the public domain, explaining it would be for her wiki page. I received this one from her Communications Manager. Should I contact him for more detailed information about the source? And can you advise me what I need to find out from him to comply with the licensing requirements? RLamb (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You basically have to get them to email their permission to wikimedia.org with the details of the image using an e-mail address associated with the organisation. For further details of what to ask where to send etc see Requesting copyright permission. Hope that answers your question. Keith D (talk) 13:24, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll contact her office again for an email giving formal consent.RLamb (talk) 00:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Great Douk Cave
Thanks for the assessment, Keith D. I have improved the references as suggested, and changed the difficulty from "Grade 1" to the guide book's description of "Grade 1" which makes far more sense. --Langcliffe (talk) 08:36, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Resolution needed
Keith Please see Template talk:RailGauge & Template talk:RailGauge Peter Horn User talk 02:46, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have done the first of these but cannot see exactly what is required for the conversion on the other as the discussion makes it unclear as to what the conversion should be. Keith D (talk) 13:16, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Simply Peter Horn User talk 01:41, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Specify exactly what conversion you want for that particular entry. Keith D (talk) 01:44, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The output should probably be 2 ft 8 $9/32$, 2 ft (2 ft and 2 ft are a tad too low and too high respectively)

Song Dynasty

 * As far as I can see I have not altered your edits to this page. The only recent edit I made was to revert out some IP vandalism with this edit which reverted back to your version. Keith D (talk) 20:33, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

The lines on the edit pages are hard to follow.

Do you know Balthazarduju?


 * No have not come across them, but looking at their contributions they are more likely to be editing Chinese articles. 20:59, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

What &lt;small&gt; tags?
See, and  - I can't find them. -- Red rose64 (talk) 20:41, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, I changed the summary for one edit then forgot to revert it back. I changed it back to Clean-up when I realised that I had not changed it back. Keith D (talk) 20:44, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Linda Riordan
Hey. I've taken a look at this article as it seems to have been the subject of some controversial removal of content and tried to ensure some balance. Looks like the comments the user - who may be the subject of the article - is objecting to were added on 2012-10-20 as the story was emerging and the full details weren't yet in the public domain. I'd appreciate some more sets of eyes on the article just to check - I've explained the rough thrust of my edits on the talk. Ta. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:12, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I have had a quick look and looks OK, though this could do with some simplification.


 * "However, a study of parliamentary records was published in the Daily Telegraph. This showed that Riordan received rental income from a flat she owned in London which was rented out through an agency to fellow Labour MP Iain McKenzie and was, at the same time, able to claim expenses on another flat she rented in the city under an arrangement allowed by IPSA rules."


 * May be split slightly differently like this would do, if it does not change the meaning

 * Keith D (talk) 19:51, 10 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I wonder if that does change the meaning ever so slightly - or at least hint at an inference? Not sure - need to think about it a bit more! Be interesting to see what the subject says if she comes back to wiki - might wait to see if she wants to engage and suggest this then. Ta Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:30, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

North Riding places
Many thanks for keeping up with my edits on North Riding places and upgrading most from stub status. The recent edit i did for Thirsk was one of the larger ones and i wondered if you could suggest what else it needs to get it close to C class, please? Rimmer1993 (talk) 14:36, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Main area is referencing, for example the Transport and Notable people sections are unreferenced. There are a number of references missing detail such as publisher, date of publication etc. The other main task would be to join up some of the short single sentence paragraphs to make it not so bitty, the sports section is particularly bad. Keith D (talk) 17:49, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. I'll try and sort that out. Rimmer1993 (talk) 21:36, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Excellent comedy edit here! I have undone it for you ...  best wishes DBaK (talk) 23:56, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * actually joking apart it's not the only one - at least one other existed here - you might want to have a look around. Looks like Latin is vulnerable where other languages are not. cheers DBaK (talk) 23:59, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that I should have skipped that one. Latin appears in the middle of several words. Keith D (talk) 00:01, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * You bet it does! :) Cheers DBaK (talk) 00:04, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * May be time for a break on this one - only have 1,150 left to look at. Keith D (talk) 00:06, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

RailGauge
Keith D, since you know the template, could you also act (or comment) on this edit proposal? If something is unclear, just ask. Thanks. -DePiep (talk) 22:55, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Possible sock-puppet
Keith, i have just reverted a couple of edits from a user who is doing identical bus service entries to those recently deleted by other editors on York area articles. He has also done this one, Bus services in York, England as a new page, which i think is identical to a similar one on the same subject. Do you think Josh24 is back? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rimmer1993 (talk • contribs) 21:57, 1 March 2013‎ (UTC)
 * Probably - though the edit on Derwenthorpe appears to have info on railways which is valid. Keith D (talk) 22:06, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Oops, in my haste i didn't see that, thanks.Rimmer1993 (talk) 23:31, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Railgauge changes
On RailGauge, I made fourteen proposals. They are also heavy on the internal template workings. Since you have edited a lot in this, I want to note this to you. Your comment will be appreciated. -DePiep (talk) 20:51, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Make that Template talk:RailGauge and Template talk:RailGauge. Peter Horn User talk 22:58, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I did have a quick cast of eye over the 14 proposals and think that the change makes the templates rather more complicated and difficult for maintenance. Keith D (talk) 23:03, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You may well be right, when you feel ready to do so, please add your input at that section. Peter Horn User talk 23:16, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Allow me to disagree (how unexpected). In my proposal, the measure formatting is done just once (really, four times in two subtemplates -- is that great?). Also, I saw weird formatting that only happened in special situations: out of control. In general: we now control the whole. And, of course, we'd better like talk over there, by substance. -DePiep (talk) 00:14, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

More oddballs
Keith, Please see Template talk:RailGauge and Template talk:RailGauge. Peter Horn User talk 23:01, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Knaresborough
Hi, I wonder if I could ask a favour. Can you protect Knaresborough from the IPs with some sort of grudge re the town crier? One IP has been blocked and now another performing the same edit has emerged. Thanks. J3Mrs (talk) 10:17, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Peace (band)
Hi, It would seem someone associated with Peace (band) (most likely management) is repeatedly deleting fully referenced facts from the band's article, maybe because it doesn't fit with their official story (just a guess!). One of the article references confirms the band called November and The Criminal changed their name to Peace in 2010, but this is being removed by someone with the same/similar IP beginning 86. They are also removing details of band's two of the band members have been in and that the band are from Worcester (there is a clear reference for this), albeit the band are now based in Birmingham (I don't see a legit reason for removing details of where the band are from). Everything is fully referenced and relevant, so would appreciate it if you could have a look at the article and keep an eye on it.

Cheers 92.8.23.245 (talk) 11:52, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Bram Stoker's Dracula page move
This page move should be reverted, and then a proper move discussion should take place on the talk page. Disambiguation does not seem necessary when there are only two titles, and my guess is that most people are looking for the later Coppola film than the 1973 television movie, thus making it the main topic. At any rate, the matter should be discussed first. Your thoughts? --- The Old Jacobite The '45  19:47, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Think that there should be a discussion on the move rather than a unilateral decision. Keith D (talk) 19:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I have now reverted the move and left a note on the talk page of article. Interesting the initial use suggesting move is now blocked and the actual mover is a newish editor. Keith D (talk) 20:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Newish? I've been editing with my sole account since January 2010. If anything, Bram Stoker's Dracula should redirect to the novel.--Razdower (talk) 20:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I was looking at the number of edits, 159, rather than the duration of the account. Any way if you want the article moved just request via WP:RM and see what the discussion throws up. Others may go along with it or may come up with another alternative. Keith D (talk) 20:59, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
