Category:American women novelists
In the discussion of Category:American women novelists you wrote "it appals me that there are less Wikipedia articles on women poets than pornographic actresses, a depressing statistic that can never inspire young women." I am 90% sure that that was not the case even at that point. As of now there are more contents in Category:American women poets than Category:American female pornographic film actresses, and I am not even half-way through the alphabet and have probably missed a few people along the way, since I was going for fast categorization and so missed people who did not have clearly female names and skipped over those using initials.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:34, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
 * This was one of those unfortunate statistics that was picked up and parroted by the media. At the time it was said, it wasn't true for the entire tree (e.g. all women poets vs all porn stars - there were I think ~1200 poets vs ~1000 porn star bios), and in the American tree there were I think 650 American porn stars and 450 American women poets - but, as JPL has pointed out, many of them were not yet classified in that category, so once we're done going through we will have a lot more poets than porn stars even in the American tree - the articles were already here. Of course, the comparison was problematic in the first place - why not compare porn stars to scientists, or journalists (many thousands), or women writers (~10,000) - heck, we even have 2600  today.
 * In any case, I mainly came here to ask, what do you think should be done next? How do we address this ghettoization problem? There's a big debate over at Category_Talk:American novelists, but no-one as far as I can tell is taking the rest of the mess seriously. What should be done? --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 07:35, 11 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Lambert - It's unfortunate that you have taken a lot of the heat for this. I did an enormous amount of categorising at the same time that you did, and I felt the statistic was true at the time, as we have become more adept it certainly isn't now.
 * Obi Wan - I could have used a comparison with a similarly intellectually stimulating category, but it wouldn't have expressed the sadness I feel sometimes at the male oriented nature of our project. The fact does remain that the study of women's literature is a legitimate academic pursuit, not one born out of malice or ghettoisation, the categories intended to reflect that, but instead begat all of this. Other people though are better at arguing what I feel than I am. I am broadly in favour of a more imaginative way of constructing cats, maybe one involving intersects. It's impossible to navigate a 4k strong category. I would like to see everybody in the parent cat, as well as in the by century, genre etc. And as for women, I cannot say. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 14:15, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Gareth - I agree that study of women's lit is a legitimate pursuit - I don't think anyone is questioning that! - and I don't think anyone questions your motivations in creating these categories - it was simply a misapplication of the rules around non-diffusing categories that caused the brouhaha. But it's mostly over now - I've noticed that people are sort of sliding back to their regular practices. I don't see people lighting torches and storming the castle of ghettoization - just a few lone souls trying to fix small parts of the wiki. I'm really sad to see that WMF hasn't put any resources behind this - I mean, the whole PROJECT was smeared for a week in the press b/c of a simple categorization issue, that is also fixable! - but WMF has been mum on the matter. --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 14:46, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
 * We should be lighting those torches! Everything I touched on in the initial debate holds...WMF should have taken this and shown the WORLD our recent collaboration for women's science as well as the excellent pages we already hold on women writers. Its times like this I feel that we are just at the start of the project twelve years in! All the rest awaits, this should serve as a bitter example of the twattish tendencies the rest of the world ascribes to us. Individual writers are never held up by the mainstream media despite their 10k's page views evr'y week. The community is always punished as one. Anyway, let's fix it for free :) Gareth E Kegg (talk) 19:02, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Fashion sources
I'm not really Mr. Fashion (just seeing me in person would confirm that), although I sympathize with you that it is very difficult to find sources for bios of fashion designers no longer alive. I think you're going to have to go to an actual library, probably one with either a good holding of old fashion magazines or (better yet) one devoted to fashion.

Since you're in the UK, you might try asking User:Johnbod, who might know where you could go.

Another possibility: try Google Books in foreign languages, particularly (in this case) Spanish, but also French, German and Italian. If you don't speak or read them, there are certainly those of us who can translate. Daniel Case (talk) 14:30, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Blue plaques categories
Hi Gareth E Kegg -- I've suggested that the categories for the Blue plaques would be much better handled and sorted and usable if they were made into lists. The category system is fairly limited in functionality (no sorting or ordering or notes, for instance, and hard to police accidental or malicious inclusion & exclusion from the categories). Lists on the other hand could better explain the complexity of the different Blue plaque systems over time to each other. AND, because we typically do not categorize people by award or association, it would be better under the overcategorization guidelines as well. You're welcome to weigh in on the CFD discussion.

The Tower House
Great to see this article being expanded. And you're right, the photos in The Great Houses of London are superb. Not sure about the final sentence of the lead however. I'm almost certain Chevithorne Vicarage remains a private house that isn't open - it was sold in 2012 - and Milton Court is a company headquarters, although I think you can gain access by written application. Also, Park House is a private club, although access can be gained fairly easily. Lastly, Treverbyn Vean, which was run as a hotel, is, I believe, a private home again. Should we amend the sentence to something like "One of the few buildings by Burges which are not open to the public"? Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 09:02, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Certainly. Where did you access the Country Life's that you cite in the main Burges article? I fear I'm running out of sources, I've just ordered the second volume of Bejtman's letters, will hopefully shed light on it's neglected period. This gentleman's ext photos of Tower House are supreme, how should I approach him for commons?  and finally...I bet you haven't seen this before!  Gareth E Kegg (talk) 11:23, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The Flikr photos are fantastic, and he's obviously a fan. Know nothing about the site, can one just ask?  I'll amend the lead if you haven't done so already.  Sources are hard - The House of WB, and The Architectural Designs of WB by Pullan are two of my most sought items but very rare and expensive.  The CL articles were sourced by others.  Lastly, the Liberace photo is absolutely priceless!  KJP1 (talk) 11:43, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think these must be the books you seek...I'll request them when I'm next free. Please amend the lead! I've looked at it too much to be effective. Incidentally, do you prefer "the Tower House", "The Tower House" or "Tower House"? I have used all three liberally throughout, and want conformity. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 13:22, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

2013 Woolwich attack
Good work. I did look for one earlier actually, but there was nothing under the search terms I used (2013 London machete attack, London machete attack, etc). Hopefully a few people will add it to their watchlists, and no doubt we'll have to argue for it at AFD at some point, but I think it's already passed WP:GNG. The involvement of the prime minister and its status as a terrorist incident put it above the usual murder case. Paul MacDermott (talk) 19:59, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Re: Baron (photographer)
Thanks for your kind comment, which I feel is undeserved. When I began the article I didn't even know Baron's real name, which hampered searching for references as you can imagine. If you know any more information about Baron's life, I'd be very happy to see it added to the article, particularly anything about his personal life or the manner of his early death.

As to your request for references for Marcus Adams, I can only suggest one thing. When I was reading the site devoted to Marilyn Monroe I was impressed with the amount of information it had about Baron, given that I'd tried unsuccessfully to use Google to find as much as that (and of course, there wasn't a Wikipedia entry, since that's what I was creating!) It then occurred to me that maybe that author had used a traditional source such as The Dictionary of National Biography. So it might be worth a visit to the library.

Thanks again for your appreciation! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silas Maxfield (talk • contribs) 17:24, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Repton Abbey
Thank you for your review and kind words.

Your comment about illustrations made me chuckle though... I didn't think the images were that good -I've found trying to find any images at all extremely frustrating. The one in the crypt is the only one of the Abbey I can find and is hardly the best quality. I'd hoped to find a ground plan or a drawing of what it used to look like- but nothing.

I'm grateful for your kind words never the less.

Pakenham ladies
Hi, Gareth, and thank you for your note. I'd be delighted to leave it to you to nominate Pansy Lamb at DYK. I'm not sure whether the Betjeman poem (which must be still in copyright) could be quoted on the main page, but I thought of "...that Betjeman wrote of "beauty to me came a-pushing a pram / In the shape of the sweet Pansy Felicia Lamb"? There must be several possible hooks, please do what you will with it. Moonraker (talk) 22:10, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Aha, the penny has now dropped that Mary Clive is also new. Yes, it would be a pity not to put them together. Moonraker (talk) 22:22, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * NB, the source says "few friends", rather than "no friends". Moonraker (talk) 00:38, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I've amended it. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 17:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Brevan Howard - conflict of interest edits
Hi Gareth! I'm getting in touch because I see you recently made a change to the Brevan Howard Wikipedia entry.

The Wikipedia page has been left as a stub for a number of years, and so I've been asked by Brevan Howard to populate it with some information on the company, specifically what it does, rather than leaving it empty. Because I have a conflict of interest in this matter, I'm hoping to get your feedback and maybe your agreement to update it with my new version, which can be found here.

I've spent a lot of time over the last few weeks identifying reliable sources writing about the company and putting the information together, which is all factual, so I would be grateful if you could take a look and let me know what you think. If you agree that my draft is better than what's currently there, I'd ask if you could apply the changes and we can gain consensus from the community on specific adjustments later.

I'll check back on my talk page (or my draft's talk page) for your comments. DanJay000 (talk) 10:19, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Excellent work, yes I quite agree, lots of demolished houses to create across England too. Remember if they're country houses to add to List of country houses in the United Kingdom. If you're interested there's a big list here of demolished country houses which needs inserting into the list and where possible starting the articles on them. Gareth you like jazz don't you? How cool was Count Basie! He kind of looked like I'd imagine a 70 year old Hendrix to look like. I can't watch him without thinking "you dawg" LOL see 1:10.

It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself.

It was no problem at all to do the editing though I am new to Wikipedia and so I'm not fast and may do things clumsily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RMcQuilliam (talk • contribs) 10:16, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

I understand your thinking that Grade II* listing by itself makes a place notable. However, it has been established that is not the case as there are numerous buildings which are so listed, some of them are merely lamp posts or bollards. What is required are reliable sources which talk in depth (not in passing or merely listing) about a place. Pub or restaurant reviews are not regarded as sufficient, unless the review is in a reliable publication, and indicates that the pub is notable for some reason other than serving good food or beer. Significant awards, historical events, notable owners, are among the reason why pubs have been regarded as notable. As you do feel that more can be said about the pub, I'll wait a few days to allow you to search sources to see if notability can be found. Regards.

 * Help:Merging suggests that "In most circumstances, a local discussion should be started to attract sufficient input. This should include the proposal itself, the list of the affected pages, and a merger rationale." However, to simply merge the page without even stating any rationale as you have done does rather seem to go against the spirit of collaboration that should be the norm on Wikipedia. On the plus side, your efforts in, for example, renaming pub and other articles in line with WP:NATURAL are much appreciated, and I do understand that one can inadvertently cut corners in a desire to get things done, especially when there is so much to do, and I have been guilty of this myself. I might also mention that using the word "allow" in the phrasing "I'll wait a few days to allow you to search sources" does to me at least seem unduly patronising, especially for an editor of Gareth's experience. By the way, you state that "it has been established" - where and by whom please? In any event, I have now expanded the article. Edwardx (talk) 21:52, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for expanding the article. Two of the three sources you have used are not reliable - one of them is a website started by a couple of friends of mine so they'll not like me saying that! The ViewLondon source, however, has a review by Des de Moor, an award winning beer and pub writer; again, incidentally, someone I know. Des does do his research well. The notability, while still a little shaky for a standalone article, is starting to mount up. I apologise if anything I said or done has caused any personal hurt - that was not intended, and reading through again, I'm still unclear where offence could be taken - but please be assured that no offence or belittling of any kind was intended; nor was there any attempt or intent at cutting corners.
