Hi Mhygelle. I would just like to express my personal thanks again for all the hard work you are doing quietly in the background on Malvern and Malvern area related articles. Have you considered joining the Worcestershire project? It wouldn't involve you in any extra work, but being a member of the project  would simply establish you in our community as an active and much appreciated Wikipedian, and as perhaps someone we could occasionally turn to for advice. Warmest regards, and best wishes for 2011. --Kudpung (talk) 07:22, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Tagging for sources
Hi Mhygelle. Once again, thanks for all your support for the suite of Malvern and Malvern related articles. Tip: Instead of tagging with an inline [citation needed] tag as you did with this edit, you can look for sources and add them yourself, or, as in this particular case, if there is a link to a main article, you may find that the main article has the missing link. Happy editing! --Kudpung (talk) 12:46, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Hill fort articles
Hey, I saw that you have been making a number of articles on hill forts. In order to help the reader better identify the forts and know exactly where they are, I recommend adding Geocoordinates to the articles. You also might want to think about adding pictures of the forts. Luckily for you, we have pictures of every square mile of Britain thanks to a big donation from Geograph on Wikimedia Commons. If you need any help doing any of these tasks, feel free to ask here or on my talk page, Sadads (talk) 14:05, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 16:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Malvern Hills
Hi. You have done excellent  work  on  this article and I  have reassessed it  as 'C' class. As you are by  far the major contributor, you  may  wish  to consider getting  it  rated as a Good Article. The article is very clean, and you  wold need to check  that  all  the referenced sources are up to date and working, but  you  would be assured of the support of members from  the WP:WORCS. Let me know on my talk  page what you  think. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:18, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

I've run a check tool and the references all appear to  be in order - no  dead links. I've checked all the photos for correct  licences, and added cats. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:29, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

St. Ann's Well, Malvern
Hi Mhygelle. I don't  think you'll  be able to  use this ref: ''ref;34 (Nigel kennedy) ^ "Celebs back fight for hillside cafe". Birmingham Post (Trinity Mirror). 6 May 2010.'' as it stands, because both  parts of it appear link  back  to  articles about the newspapers themselves in  Wikipedia. You'll need to  locate the actual archives of the newspaper articles. Regards, --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:52, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Malvern, Worcestershire
Thank you again  for watching  over the Malvern articles and fixing refs. the referencing system  that  was introduced is not  a standard one and is rather complex (I didn't introduce it), and although  it  keeps the body text  free of refs, in  the long  run, creates more work. In the meantime, I think  I'll  have to  abandon  the thoughts of getting  Malvern, Worcestershire to  FA because I'm afraid the reviewers will  expect the system to  changed all over again. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:35, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Kudpung, Thank you for your messages. I have just had a quick read through the FA criteria and as I understand it the article should have consistent citations. As the majority of citations on the Malvern, Worcestershire article use citation templates, would it be better to convert the remainder to the template format rather than change the whole system? Either way, I would be happy to assist with any changes. Mhygelle (talk) 11:30, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * This will help  clear up  one or two  questions (I think): User talk:SandyGeorgia. Let  me know what  you  think, and thanks enormously  for your offer of help. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:01, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I've started cleaning up the citations and moved several inline citation templates into the 'references' section. There appear to be approx 30 inconsistent print based sources, so it shouldn't take too long to convert them to the current system. I'll start tackling them as soon as I get a chance. Mhygelle (talk) 15:56, 18 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I been watching  what  you  have been doing -  thanks enormously  again.  There are some things  I  realise now that I  could have done while I  was in Malvern in  August and September. I  spent  a lot  of time reseraching  in  the library and took  out some of the books again  that  I read before. Unfortunately, books by two  of the best  known and more recent authors (Weaver, and Garrard) on  local history are being  challenged by  one editor as not  being  reliable sources, although  consensus seems to lean towards accepting  them. I've still not  been able to  locate the records for the Malvern Gazette since it  began also  publishing  its  online version. I think  I'll  write to  Newsquest  and ask where the microfiche are stored. Are you  in or near Malvern? If  you  are and had time, I  could tell  you  what  to  look  for. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:02, 19 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Kudpung, The Malvern Gazette microfiche are stored at Malvern Library. I'll be visiting the library in the New Year to do some research for another article and I'd be happy to try and find what you're looking for while I'm there (time permitting).Mhygelle (talk) 11:33, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Mhygelle. Thanks for catching the nonsense that  was posted at  Worcestershire Beacon. If you come across this sort of thing, don't  hesitate to  place a warning  on  the user's talk  page such  as I  have at  User talk:212.139.255.13. Although the user might  not  react, it  helps us track IPs that  may  be making  irresponsible edits on  other articles. Cheers, --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:49, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
