Pillbox picture
Having just added the article British anti-invasion preparations of World War II (it is still a work in progress), I am looking for pictures of pillboxes etc. Do you have any more like that? Gaius Cornelius 23:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your offer of pictures. I have quite a few pictures of my own to put in, but I particularly like your one of the Norton pillbox that clearly shows it to be circular (pillboxes/21.jpg). Could I trouble you to upload it Wikipedia. My reason for asking you to do this is that Wikipedia is very strict about the status of images and I don't want there to be any doubt about attribution, copyright status etc. Thanks again. Gaius Cornelius 16:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that - its in the article... Gaius Cornelius 17:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip about the article in Ships Monthly, I shall be sure to look out for it. Unfortunately it take a few weeks for it to appear in the newsagents here in Australia- I just bought May's yesterday. Did the article shed any light on the RMS debate? --Dashers 23:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

ja???? and zh????
Sorry thought it was untidy as it shows ???? in In other languages box, why does it not say Chinese or Japanese? Palmiped 12:49, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * It displays correctly to me. Maybe you do not have japanese and chinese fonts installed. This is the way how all japanese and chinese interwiki links are done. At least all I saw. It says "Chinese" in Chinese charecters (I recognize these two). See for instance interwiki links on Earth. Chinese is penultimate one. Actually I think it is done automaticaly by wiki software. --Jan.Smolik 13:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

POPPYS IN THE FIELD, WEYBOURNE
Hello Palmiped, The picture you have uploaded to the Weybourne "wiki" is not coming in to view. you may need to re-upload it  Stavros1 13:15, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I must have some gremlins in my computer as I still cannot see the Image although I can see every other image on that page. All I see is a long Narrow Box with the title in it. Very Strange!!!Stavros1 15:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC) The picture won't come up on the Kelling page either, all I have is a box with the title above the box with the map. Its very strange that it only seems to be that picture that my computer does not want to show me. The link to your upload page that I followed is Blank also.Stavros1 17:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Palmiped
I have been getting coordinates from the version of goggle earth that I have on my system, and it seems that something is out of sinc with it. I have discovered that when I have zoomed on to the centre of a village (I usually pick out the parish church), Goggle earth is giving me the wrong co-ordinates. I will use the source you have suggested from now on, but I have come across the odd one on that page that is slightly out. Even so it seems to be a bit more accurate than Google earth.-- Stavros1 (talk) 19:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello Palmiped
I am hoping you can help me? I have been trying to replace the info box on the Holt, Norfolk page with the new style of box but I don’t seem to be able to get the co-ordinates right to place the red dot correctly on the map (Image:Norfolk outline map with UK.png) can you help me with it! So far I have aborted any attempt to change the box as the co-ordinates already on the page when used in the new style box miss the position of holt by miles. I seem to have a lot of problems getting these co-ordinates rightStavros1 (talk) 23:58, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Blakeney Point
Hi Palmiped I see from the history that you have corrected a link at the External Links chapter. I think it may be a good idea to remove this chapter all together as the link to the National trust is all ready in the Infobox and the second link has more to do with the Village of Blakeney, what do you think. I don’t like to remove someone else work without some form of consensus. Nice to speak to you again by-the-wayStavros1 (talk) 01:55, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Use of minor edit flag
Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'  -- John (Daytona2 ·  Talk ·  Contribs) 16:57, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

The Commons
In case you have not noticed, some of your image uploads have been transferred to the Commons, eg. Image:Arcadia Eijford.jpg and Image:QE2colour.jpg. To save other people the trouble, why not upload your images there in the first place? Even if they are photos of British places and you think no foreign language wiki would use them, it is still good to put them on the Commons because Wikipedians don't like galleries. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Blakeney Tower Windmill
Hello Paimiped

Thank you for showing interest in the Blakeney Tower Windmill page. I have an interesting problem with the location of the Windmill. There are conflicting sources over the name of the farm where it stands. Norfolk Windmill site calls it Friarage Farm, where as the OS Explorer Map calls the farm Friary and indeed visiting the windmill over the bank holiday revealed that the caravan site that surrounds the mill is called Friary Farm Caravan Park. Can I ask were your National trust info about the name came from? . I am a little dubiouse about the NT as when researching another windmill (Burnham Overy Tower Windmill), there handbook described the windmill as being built out of timber, which it clearly is’nt.

Bradmore Postmill
Hi Palmiped. The "mill burning down" comes from Nottinghamshire C.C.'s own publication, confirmed by something in the Notts archives whose ref I put as a footnote (but for the life of me can't remember what it was). The mound was still (1995) in existence. It was surveyed in 1980 by Notts Industrial Archaeological Society who quote "discovered it to be rather uneven and simply constructed. They suggest that it was originally moved from Flawforth" end quote. Ning-ning (talk) 19:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Archive ref. was dated 1899. Maybe the brick piers were dynamited? Ning-ning (talk) 19:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

B Roads in Norfolk, Again?
Hello Palmiped,

Can you have another look at Talk:B1149 road, B1156 road, B1436 road and B1149 road again, as these article seem to be under threat again from another editor. Once again it is the Notability question which has arisen. I thought that the reason for these roads to be notable had already been established but once again this is being questioned and I think there is likelihood that this editor may redirect these pages once more.  stavros1  ♣  22:35 28 September 2008 (UTC).

Template:Reflist states that 3 cols are "inaccessible to users with smaller/laptop monitors and should be avoided".

Hello Palmiped

I see that you have moved the images on this page from the left to the right as per Wikipedia guidelines. I think the page still looks a mess with the large white areas with no text that this has created.

Although I have added it to the Template page it does not appear on any of the navigation Boxes on other River page along with the Wisbech Canal page, the whole template also has a different look.

They also placed it on all the articles about Norfolk Rivers. When you try to edit the template it directs you to the old template which you then edit only to find that it has not worked on the re-directed template.

I just followed whatever seemed to have been done before when I added a few, and it seemed to me that, in this instance, the scorers' totals included all goals in league and cup competitions.

MS Azura - Flag
Hi there, just to query your edit to the P&O Cruises page in which you replaced the flag icon for MS Azura. According to the information I have, Azura is registered to Southampton as a UK vessel sailing under the Red Ensign, and there are currently no plans to re-register her to Bermuda. Do you have any evidence to suggest otherwise? I have reversed you edit, as there are now numerous images of the ship on the internet, which all show her port of registration as Southampton and flying the Red Ensign. Until such a time as there is a reliable information source to confirm either way, I think the photo evidence is sufficient. Crazy-dancing (talk) 11:42, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

You blanked the page and, since you are its sole author, FrescoBot has interpreted it as a request for deletion of the page and asked administrators to satisfy the requests per speedy deletion criterion G7. Next time you want a page that you've created deleted, you can explicitly request the deletion by inserting the text. If you didn't want the page deleted, please remove the tag from the page and undo your blanking or put some content in the page. Admins are able to recover deleted pages. Please do not contact the bot operator for issues not related with bot's behaviour. To opt out of these bot messages, add somewhere on your talk page. -- FrescoBot  (msg) 00:59, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I checked and the bot was not wrong. Here is the history of File:Rushcliffe Halt.JPG (asked to an admin): The image is on commons.wikimedia.org and you created by mistake a page also on en.wikipedia.org. -- Basilicofresco  (msg) 17:42, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

So what did I do wrong to cause the flag blanking page? --palmiped | Talk  17:55, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

P&O Ships
P&O have a mix. Oriana, Aurora and Oceana are identified with the MV prefix, with the other 4 ships having the MS prefix. Adonia will also carry the MS prefix when launched next year. Crazy-dancing (talk) 12:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I obtain my information from P&O sources. I don't know why they use the MV prefix for some ships and MS for others, but in any company literature where the prefix is shown, the do make a distinction. For example, all literature relating to the launch of Azura, such as press releases etc, refers to the ship as MS Azura, not MV. I would link through to an online ship registry which lists all the P&O ships (including prefix), but you have to have a user name and password to access it, so that's no use for Wikipedia.

Norcon pillbox
I have a new article Norcon pillbox which I hope you will like. It is currently on the Did You Know suggestion list at Template talk:Did you know, I am not sure that many people are able to verify the hook which derives from the official handbook of the Pillbox Study Group. Is was wondering if you could give that verification? Gaius Cornelius (talk) 09:39, 12 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah! The "hook" is the wording of the Did You Know message. See here. It needs to be verified (or possibly taken in good faith) for the article to be referenced in the DYK section of the main page. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 17:23, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Admiralty scaffolding
Pamiped: I am working on a new article User:Gaius Cornelius/Admiralty scaffolding. I have used a photograph that you have uploaded, for which many thanks. However, I see from your website that you have another image that I feel is slightly better, here I like this image because it shows three rows of remains which more clearly identifies this as Admiralty scaffolding. Are you willing to contribute this alternative picture? Preferably, upload to Wikimedia Commons. If you have anything else to contribute to my article - which will soon be released to the main space - that will be welcom too. Cheers. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 05:22, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Meindert Dijkstra
Hi, I saw the Dutch wiki page, but the auto-translation was a bit off, so I just re-wrote it completely! I noticed the date of birth, but the reference that I got his playing history from (and presumably the place the Dutch wiki did, it's the same table) states the 28th, so I've gone for that since the Dutch version isn't referenced. Don't know which is right though to be honest, I assume with him being Dutch then they'd have a better idea, but I didn't want to contradict my own reference. Thanks for the heads up though!

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:06, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Re your tagging of this "article", it is a shipindex page, which is an enhanced form of a dab page. Therefore it does not need tagging as a deadend article. Nor did it need tagging as needing wikifying, as both links are working wikilinks. Mjroots (talk) 06:15, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

As you say, Blogg was awarded the EGM, which was later exchanged for the GC. However, he was therefore not a recipient of the GC; he was a recipient of the EGM.

Royal Mail Ship and Queen Mary 2
Hello Palmiped, the two of us seem to be starting an edit war regarding Cunard's Queen Mary 2 and whether or not the vessel retains Royal Mail Ship status with her registry change to Hamilton, Bermuda. The publication Courier for UK Royal Mail employees, dated August 2007, has been cited as the reference the vessel being granted this prefix in 2004. Unfortunately the online issues go back only as far as 2010 and it would only answer the question of the original grant of that status, not any change applicable today. There are two ways that one can infer that the QM2 no longer has the RMS prefix 1) all mention has been removed from Cunard's website and 2) when the question was raised on a social network moderated by Cunard the comment was repeadly deleted. If this RMS prefix were to be kept Cunard would not hesitate to say so. Mariepr (talk) 18:04, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Cunards website refers to QM2 as RMS QM2 here...QM2 facts on pages 2&3. --<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;border:2px solid #A9A9A9;padding:1px;">palmiped | Talk  22:09, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

The link which you provided is from Cunard's UK site, which can be reached from a US ISP only by direct URL or through a UK proxy. On the Cunard US site, none of these three press documents make any mention of the RMS title:Overview, FactSheet, and Technical. On the US side it appears that Cunard just scrubbed any reference to QM2 being a Royal Mail Ship. Cunard's president to boast about it when the status was granted in 2004. Well, are they really going to publically announce that one of their ships had a title revoked? Mariepr (talk) 00:59, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

In regard to the RMS title for QM2, I found an answer but I don't have a source that is verifiable. Somebody traveling on board asked the cruise director how she can fly the Royal Mail banner if she is now registered in Bermuda. The answer was that the ship was named by the Queen and will remain RMS Queen Mary 2 as long as the monarch wishes. Mariepr (talk) 13:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello Palmiped, I compared the two versions of the Replica Titanic page and the disambiguation arose from my not spelling out the acronym SOLAS. Since the text did not turn red on preview it wasn't obvious that was happening. Mariepr (talk) 13:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Beeston Hill Y Station
Hello Palmiped

I have just created an article about the ‘Y’ Station that once stood on the summit of Beeston Bump. Knowing that you have an interest in the British defenses structures of World War II, I was hoping that you may be able to help me. I have been trying to locate a photograph of the Y station on the Bump but have only managed to locate one here. As you can see, its of poor quality, and I’m not sure about copyright issues. I thought I’d ask you if you new of an image that we could place in the article. any help would be most appreciated.  stavros1  ♣  21:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you
Hello Palmiped Thank you your recent message of kind words you left on my talk page I have come to realize that recently there is elements of editors on the wikipedia project who spend there time not actually contributing positively to this encyclopedia but patrol looking for confrontation. I have many good contacts such as yourself, on the project who make and create positive contributions and criticize and advise from positive editors such as yourself are always welcomed. Just lately I seem to have become the target from the negative editors, who, when you look at there history spend all there time patrolling negatively armed with deletion tags, and in the case of one editor who through his attempt at cyber-bulling has been blocked for a week!. I will miss making the contributions I have made here, but do not wish to be drawn into constant battles and editing wars with these negative people.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Notts County F.C., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Captain (football) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

RMS Queen Mary
I saw that you undid all my recent revisions to the RMS Queen Mary page. Is there any reason for this? I was correcting grammatical mistakes and adding a few bits of useful info (the renaming of the classes on board in 1947).

I'm not sure why you changed "was" back to "were". The sentence is "Much of the machinery, including one of the two engine rooms, three of the four propellers, and all of the boilers, was removed..." The "was removed" refers to "the machinery", which is a singular collective noun. Unless this is one of those strange moments where British English is different from American English. In American English, we would say "The machinery was removed". In British English, would you really say "The machinery were removed"? I know you would say "Cunard are building a new ship", while we would say "Cunard is building a new ship." The subtleties of our two versions of the language can be very confusing, I agree.

Regardless of that fact, I'm not sure what objection you have to the other changes - the addition of useful commas to divide up distinct sections of sentences, etc.
