Alne, North_Yorkshire
Hi, just to let you know there is a problem with this edit that I partially reverted. The OpenDomesday template does not have a url parameter as this is constructed from the OS and name parameters to the template. Keith D (talk) 17:36, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

What are your plans for the Easton (Cambridgeshire) article we are both working on?
Hello, I am Emily Morris and I am a student at Portsmouth University. I have been working on the Easton article since January as part of my course (there is a banner about this on the article's Talk page). Before we started, we checked that nobody had worked on the article for three years. So far you have been writing about different things from what I have been preparing, but what are your plans? A lot of what I will be writing about is information about the parish from modern and old censuses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emily.JMorris (talk • contribs) 15:53, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Emily, I am sorry that I didn't spot the banner on the Easton (Cambridgeshire) Talk Page. My plan is generally to improve the quality of the geographic articles relating to the old county of Huntingdonshire. At some stage I would have loaded some census information into the article, but I don't have any specific material at the moment. I will try to remember to not edit the article for a while.Paulwa66 (talk) 16:16, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Paul, thank you very much that would be greatly appreciated. I will be finished working on this article by the end of April and hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience for you. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emily.JMorris (talk • contribs) 12:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Toseland, Cambridgeshire area
My name is Montel Billo-Conteh, a student attending Portsmouth University, and I am currently editing the Toseland, Cambridgeshire wikipedia article for my coursework assignment that was commenced on January. In order to make sure this could be carried out we made sure that the article was left unedited for a period of at least three years. The problem at the moment is that you have been editing information that is dissimilar to the information I plan to add. What I want to understand is what do you aim to add into the article in the near future as I am adding information on the parish from modern as well as older censuses.

Hi Montel, I am sorry that I didn't spot the banner on the Toseland (Cambridgeshire) Talk Page. My plan is generally to improve the quality of the geographic articles relating to the old county of Huntingdonshire. I am afraid that I added some census data into the article a couple of weeks ago. I won't be offended if you have to re-work it for your course. In the meantime I will try to remember to not edit the article for a while.Paulwa66 (talk) 16:27, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Question
Does "accessdate" really only apply to online sources with URLs? If I read something in a book today and cite it, wouldn't that have an accessdate of today? BMK (talk) 21:32, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell accessdate does only apply to online sources. I presume it doesn't really matter when one reads something in a book and then cites the reference in wikipedia since the content of a book changes infrequently and then only with a new edition.  But for something on the web, the content can change much more frequently and the accessdate parameter gives some sort of reference-point as to when the web page contained the information that is being cited.  Paulwa66 (talk) 21:57, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's sound reasoning. There is the situation where the citation to the book might be taken from the web (say, from Bookfinder) instead of being taken off the physical volume itself, and an accessdaye might show that a later edition was being used, but, of course, the acccessdate doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the publishing date of the book (I can read a book published in 1900 today, and an accessdate of 2016 doesn't provide evidence that I'm actually reading the 1995 reprint) - so I guess I've answered my own question. Thanks for your time, sorry to bother you with what turned out to be such a trivial question. BMK (talk) 00:44, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Warley Town
Hi Paulwa, do you know if Warley Town which you recently worked on, is the "town of Warley" mentioned in the description of Room at the Top (novel) and thus the place where this story is situated? If so, would you consider it relevant to add this connection? Then the currently unlinked "Warley" in the Room at the Top article could/should direct to Warley Town in return. Kind regards from Germany --88.76.34.152 (talk) 00:01, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

October 2016
Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Hele Bay. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!
