Larhall
Hi Rod, got your message about the Larkhall entry, I felt the addition of the information about Peter Curran was more historical than trivial, the shop was an integral part of the square for 40 years. I lived near the square when I was growing up in the 1970s/80s.

Ruth- Rut- land etymology.
Hello,

It occurred to me that perhaps the name Ruth- or Rut- may be related to similar words that were used to describe peoples that use boats with rows as a source of their mobility across rivers and lakes.

The name of Swedish in Finnish is Ruotsi, and in Estonian it is Rootsi.

Rus in Ruthenia – supposed to be the eastern Vikings (Swedish) and the etymology proposes the concept representing River people, rowers, seafarers, etc.

There are two politically competing theories that deal with the etymology of Rus and Ruth-enia. But contain insights that perhaps could help explain the etymology of the Ruth- / Rut- land region. I refer to Normanist theory and Anti-Normanist theory. Please see link below for brief introduction:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rus%27_(people)#Normanist_theory

Please let me know your thoughts.

Btw, I have been researching this for long time now and it would take me some time to trace all the documents on the etymology of the words such as Rus, Rugen, Rootsi, Rosa and Ruthenia that have same root in proto Indo-European language and are conceptually associated with water and anything that has got to do with water, including people.

However I wouldn’t mind to look in to it again, especially if any of such Naming etymology and the above assumptions could be corroborated by archeological finds and explained by factual data from other regions that would work as reference guide.

Anyway, Good Luck and Happy New Year :D

Rvier Parrett
Hi Rod. I've eyeballed the ecology section as requested. I think that the following would help improve this section:


 * the section on the rare plants of Aller Hill is a little unclear - do you know which six rare plants are present, and are the two named ones two of these or are there eight in total?
 * there are lots of species of soldier fly so "the soldier fly (Odontomyia ornata)" should read "the soldier fly Odontomyia ornata" - Stubbs & Drake (google for full title & isbn) have coined the English name "Ornate Brigadier" for this species
 * soldier flies are in fact just a family within the true flies (as opposed to a group with fly in their name that isn't part of the true flies, like the caddis flies)
 * "A wide range of insect species is also present including rare invertebrates," would make more sense if the two I-words were swapped, as all insects are invertebrates but the converse isn't true
 * In the subsequent insect list, not all are beetles
 * I think it would read better if the ecology section had some subsections - how about one on the general interest, one (or more) on the specific sites, one on the designations - you could then use the "main article" template to point people at the more full treatments elsewhere on the site
 * I'm sure there are many more important species you could mention but it's a question of where to draw the line ... top of the list though is probably the Hairy click beetle (Synaptus filiformis) which until recently was only known in Britain from the Parrett, although it has now also been found at a site in Gloucestershire.

Hope that helps a bit. It's a huge and important area, and you could write reams of stuff on the ecology. SP-KP (talk) 22:04, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Looking at the Aller citation sheet, I think I've worked it out - there are six rare plant species in total in the whole site - the three nationally rare ones are Rough Marsh-mallow, Nit-grass and Purple Gromwell and the three locally rare ones are Wild Liquorice, Fiddle Dock and Lesser Centaury. The bit that's a little confusing is that not all of these are found in all parts of the site, so in some parts of the text it starts talking about different numbers, but these only apply to the parts of the site being referred to in that particular part of the citation - if that makes sense? Ornate Brigadier - page 310. Cheers. SP-KP (talk) 23:23, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Rod. Perhaps you could have another critical look at "that" paragraph in History. I think that it is finished and that it says what I mean - however it might not. Thanks. Pyrotec (talk) 16:54, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * A valid point that I did recognise. "Draining" (or land recovery) involves a combination of stopping the river overflowing onto land during normal high tides and allowing flood water to drain off the land; and that sometimes meant moving or embanking the Parrett. There is also the problem of abnormal tides/floods that I ignored completely. I tried to say what the aim was instead of the fine details. Is it the acres in the medieval period that causes most concern? Pyrotec (talk) 17:23, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * When I'm happy, I was intended to drop a note to Ealdgyth, as the "specialist" for the medieval era. As long as she is happy, I should be OK.Pyrotec (talk) 17:32, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Geog Loc boxes
Rod, Here are a couple of examples which show what I think is the value of a Geog Loc box for readers who aren't familiar with the local geography. Compare Idaho and Allier. In the former case, you can quickly move to its neighbouring states and provinces in any given direction. The latter lists neighbouring departments are listed but you can't see which is in which direction. OldSpot61 (talk) 15:51, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Over langford manor
Hi Rod Greetings from Nigeria! I see from your speil that you are 'medical' as well. I am a physician specialising in tropical medicine and working in West Africa. I used to live in Nailsea Court and now live in Over Langford Manor. You couldn't be a better person to help me on my first day with Wikipedia, as I notice that not only are you a Guru, but you are also 'local'. All the alterations I have made to the Nailsea Court entry are correct and I can give references. But I don't know how (yet). I have been battling with trying to add a picture too, but I have failed at that too. I could send you a scan of the references, if you tell me how - or give me an e-mail address to which i could send them. I am horribly aware of being a ludite in this regard. But I am a quick learner. Chris CPLeeUK (talk) 22:04, 16 January 2010 (UTC) Furthermore: The citation which talks about Upper Langford Court with respect to the removal of an over mantle is not incorrect, it's just that Over Langford Manor has rejoiced under many names in the past. But history and convention has it that the PROPER name for it is Over Langford Manor. It has variously been called: Over Langford Manor, formerly (1935-96) The Old Courthouse, A.k.a. Over Langford Court and Upper Langford Court (1919), Over Langford Court Farm and Upper Langford Court Farm (1910), Collings’ Farm (1841-c1880), Gadd’s Farm (1881-1881) and Nannygoat Farm (1930s) CPLeeUK (talk) 22:12, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

alt text for images in infobox
Hi Rod, thanks for your feedback. I'm working from a list of all articles that (as at October 2009) have invalid parameters in Infobox UK place but there are only three that used "alt": I've had a look at your fixes to my changes to the Bath article. static_image_name = Royal.crescent.aerial.bath.arp.jpg static_image_alt = Aerial view of... I've fixed this for Bath and am about to check that the two Chews are OK too. There are no other pages to which this applies (or at least none at the time the list was produced). Hope that's helpful.
 * Bath, Somerset
 * Chew Stoke
 * Chew Valley
 * Apologies for not deleting the  text that you have now assigned to   – I assumed that the automatic alt text would be sufficient ("City of Bath is located in Somerset"), but appreciate that your text offers a more useful description of the location.
 * As for the image alt, the old-style syntax that I used is still valid and the alt text should work. Unfortunately, the new-style   doesn't seem to be compatible with the old-style , so if we're to switch to the new-style we also need to convert the file name to   and then strip off the   or   prefix and any parameters (  etc: the default size will usually be fine so the size parameter is not necessary). For example:

— Richardguk (talk) 09:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your helpful note on the age of the Priory. Your correction seems right based on the evidence at the moment and I am very happy for my amendments to be reverted until any better evidence emerges.

River Mole
Hi Rodw, I've been following your contributions to the River Parrett article for the past year or so and have really enjoyed seeing it grow during this time. I'm sorry that it didn't pass at FAC, I'm sure it will do so soon. I gather that you've decided to take a break from editing the Parrett for a few weeks and was hoping that this would be a good time to ask for some help/advice on the River Mole article. I've been editing the article on-and-off for the past three years or so (initially as a non-registered user, but more recently under my Mertbiol identity). Unfortunately I'm pretty much the only active editor on the Mole and am therefore responsible for the vast majority of the material on the page. I haven't really had much opportunity to bounce ideas for developing the Mole off other people. I was wondering whether you would be able to have a quick look at the page and to give me some advice on how to improve the article further. (In particular I'd be interested to know how far away it is from GA status.) I'd be grateful if you could leave any comments at Talk:River Mole. I'm also intending to ask Pyrotec for his/her input too. Thanks very much in advance. Mertbiol (talk) 14:22, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Definition of Adaptively reused churches
Hi Rodw, Adaptively Reused is an historic preservation / architectural conservation term for the reuse of a structure. For churches, this would include continuation as a church but for a different Christian denomination. I've distinguished "Adaptively Reused churches" from "Former churches" because former churches could refer to any church building no longer used as a church, which would include demolition, closure, abandonment, ruin, etc. Hope this clarifies that neither category is really a subcategory of each other, although they do heavily overlap. I would add your St Thomas A Beckett Church turned residential to both Former churches and Adaptively Reused churches categories.

In my own work, I distinguished reuse from 9.2 to 9.31 -- 9.1. Religious: Original Denomination Continued Use 9.2. Religious: Original Denomination Specialized uses 9.3. Religious: Original Denomination Religious Order 9.4. Religious: Original Denomination Sharing Space with Another Denomination 9.5. Religious: Original Denomination Mixed-use with Active Worship Services 9.6. Religious: Original Denomination Ownership for Sympathetic Non-worship Use 9.7. Religious: Transfer to Mainline Denomination 9.8. Institutional Religious: Use as Chapel 9.9. Religious: Transfer to Less Established Denomination 9.10. Religious: Transfer to Another Religion 9.11. Civic: Everyday Public Access (Post Office / Visitor Information / Heritage Center) 9.12. Civic / Social: Care-giving Social Venues / Community Centers for Youth/Childcare or Elderly / Community Outreach Centers 9.13. Cultural: Performance Venues (Concert Halls, Arts Centers, Theaters, etc.) 9.14. Cultural: Library 9.15. Cultural: Museum 9.16. Institutional: Use as a Library or Museum, or Other Venue Run by a University, or Wealthy Private School/Non-profit, etc. 9.17. Commercial Cultural: Gallery 9.18. Commercial Cultural: Craft/Studio/Workshop Space 9.19. Commercial Social: Tea Room, Coffee Shop 9.20. Commercial Social: Sports Hall 9.21. Commercial Cultural: Musical Recording or Rehearsal Space 9.22. Commercial Social: Restaurant 9.23. Commercial Social: Bar / Nightclub 9.24. Commercial: Retail 9.25. Storage 9.26. Residential 9.27. Offices 9.28. Light Industrial / Garage 9.29. Heavy Industrial 9.30. Agriculture 9.31. Columbaria / Funereal —Preceding unsigned comment added by James Russiello (talk • contribs) 20:23, 10 February 2010
 * Rook Lane Chapel turned arts centre, Glenside Museum, St. Paul's Church, Bristol (now circus skills school) and St Werburgh's Church, Bristol (now climbing centre) are all good examples (the latter two have both been published extensively in adaptive reuse journals as preeminent examples). In fact, St. Paul's Church is a good example of how to distinguish an adaptively reused church from a closed church because it is owned by the Churches Conservation Trust and still consecrated (and thus NOT a closed church).
 * The key defining quality of a adaptively reused church is that the structure should have been first purpose-built as a church and then been reused for another program. Example: If a structure was built as a synagogue and then converted into a church and then adaptively reused as a office building, it would be an adaptively reused synagogue.

You know, we do have an article on adaptive reuse. Daniel Case (talk) 23:26, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

SSSIs & nature reserves
From the description of Site of Special Scientific Interest, I thought that these sights are protected areas, and as can be appropriate for inclusion nature reserves. The designation may be for the geology, but the impact is to protect the land, which then becomes a nature reserve. Do you think the inference is appropriate? I am not familiar with the designations in the United Kingdom. Jllm06 (talk) 14:49, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Unit area template
Near the beginning of this edit, you changed a Template:Unit area parameter from "sqkm" to "km²". I have reverted it here and similarly here, from where it will go on the Main Page tomorrow. At least on my monitor, using the parameter "km²" makes the finished product say "The AONB is .", that is, the template output is completely suppressed. The Unit area template documentation specifies "sqkm". I don't know how an automated Manual of Style process would cause this result even if you didn't notice the "Unit area" template; my own AWB parameters for enforcing the Manual of Style change "²" to "2" because of Manual of Style, which says:


 * "Squared and cubic metric-symbols are always expressed with a superscript exponent (5 km2, 2 cm3); squared imperial and US unit abbreviations may be rendered with sq, and cubic with cu (15 sq mi, 3 cu ft).
 * Do not use the Unicode characters ² and ³, but rather write  and   to produce the superscripts 2 and 3. The superscripted 2 and 3 are easier to read, especially on small displays, and ensure that exponents are properly aligned (compare wmx²y³zn to wmx2y3zn)."

However, you probably went out of your way to make this edit, so maybe you know something I don't. Art LaPella (talk) 06:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Midsomer Norton for GA
Hi Rodw

Hmm...I had a look online for the "Collieries of Somerset & Bristol" book he mentions, but it is £25 on Amazon. The local libarary in Midsomer Norton has a reasonable local history section so I will try and drop in there over the next few days to see what they have but I tried searcing the library catalogue on the B&NES website and that one didn't come up. I've got one or two local history books myself but am not sure if they would do as a substitute for the particular material he is after. I'll see what I can do. Peteinterpol (talk) 22:32, 10 March 2010 (UTC)


 * There are references linking Norton Canonicorum to Midsomer Norton, e.g. and but not that brilliant. Hopefully I can find something better.  The flooding quote is from Wesley's diary when he came to preach in the town, according to Sir Ronald Gould's autobiography which I know is in the Midsomer Norton library.  I have a copy of Collier's Way and will also check the other titles in the library. Peteinterpol (talk) 22:57, 10 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Have picked up a few books from the local libary and am working through the queries from the GA.


 * On the name of the town, a book called Somerset Place Names, by Stephen Robinson, pub Dovecote Press (1992), ISBN 1874336032, page 102, states that the 'Norton' bit means 'In the centre of the shire is the north enclosure' from the Old English; 'Midsomer' "is of late origin and not mentioned until 1334". "The river Somer runs through the centre of this small town.", it says, with the implication being that the river provided the 'somer' part of the name rather than the flood-free season of 'summer'.
 * I think the reference in in the article to flooding is a remnant from an earlier edit that repeated John Wesley's facetious comment that he supposed the town was only accessible in summer. This often-repeated source of the name is I think now discounted so the reference to flooding might be better taken out.
 * Nothing yet on Norton Canonicorum but will keep looking.
 * In the meantime I will take a look at references 6 and 7 as I have some library railway books that should give the detail. Peteinterpol (talk) 19:25, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I have found a better citation for reference 7, but am not sure how to insert the page number (p. 97 from the book cited). Do you know the right format for this? Peteinterpol (talk) 19:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No reference in the books that can help with reference 6, but do you think the following website reference to 1966 closure would suffice?:.
 * I see what you mean; not sure how that happened. Yes, the link you have added is what I meant. Peteinterpol (talk) 20:16, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * This website gives a plausible population figure for MSN alone: http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/Midsomer+Norton  What do you think?
 * Thanks for your comment; the website I sent you details of quoted 10,450 for MSN alone, I didn't see a request for a payment. The 21,000 figure you mention is commonly quoted for MSN and Radstock, so 10K is not totally implausible.  I am sure B&NES will have a figure if this website is not OK, but I will keep looking separately.  Peteinterpol (talk) 19:17, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Long Dole Wood photo
Hi. I'm a bit confused about the Long Dole Wood photo as I can't quite tie it up with my recollection of the place from visits. Can you let me know where you took the shot from and in which direction you were looking? Thanks SP-KP (talk) 18:42, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. That makes sense - it does look very much like Chewton Wood (somewhere that's worth a Wikipedia article in its own right) - I'm pretty sure it's the southern part of the wood, which is on the northern slope of Chewton plain. The very northern part of Chewton Wood (not visible in the photo) is part of the SSSI, but not the southern part unfortunately. Long Dole Wood is on completely flat ground so wouldn't have the hilly bit. The meadow that Somerset Wildlife Trust own is very nice in mid to late summer and would make an excellent photo.

River Parrett
Hi RodW, You're back home? I assumed the Icelandic ash debacle had still got you in its clutches. Points West interviewed several families in Florida on Wednesday (21st) who were quoted first flights home on 4th May!!

It would be nice to get the river up to FA. I'm currently trying to keep in second place in WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/April 2010, having given up trying to catch up Jez (who's out of reach in 1st place). I sort of got sidetracked in personally reviewing River Parrett. Could we aim for mid May, that would give me some time to try and finish it before resubmitting it to FAC?

Hi this is Steve Virgin from the Board of Wikimedia UK

I am a fellow Bristolian

We have a Wikimedia Conference in town this weekend

We were getting some of the Bristol Project Wikipedians together at the Watershed on Saturday night for a Wiki Meet at around 6.30pm.

This is a good opportunity to meet people from the national Chapter, other Chapters from around the world and from the Wikimedia Foundation. There is a bar tab to help proceedings and we would be very keen to see you there.

RSVP - let me know if you are able to come and feel free to invite any other local Wikipedians in Bristol

I read your contribution on the above and found it to be more than very interesting, it is wonderful.

If you drew an area, poimt to point (for instance Bristol to Glastonbury, Bristol to Taunton, Taunton to Langport and Glastonbury to Langport. At what points would you say included the entire levels?

Somerset Levels
Hi again, Many thanks for your help and the other hints which will definately help me. The 'squares' you gave me do make sense and, again, is a great source of help. I lived in Sherborne for many years but worked mainly in Taunton and Bridgwater. Every morning and evening, I took different routes to and from work. I still remember some morning seeing the most wonderful sight of the mists lying over the lands and seeing, in the distance, great church towers emerging from the white blanket. One ting led to another and I had to find out why all those great churches were nothing more than village churches but why so big, so proudly prominent. I had promised mself I would write of those churches but never really made any effort to find out more of the Levels. So that is the start, the Levels then the churches. Finally is ther are a specific time of the year when the mist descends like that?

Many, many thanks for your help.

Kind Regards, James--Jimmydenham (talk) 13:42, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

County lists of museums
Hi, I've recently come across List of museums in Somerset & find that you have done similar lists for all counties. I've started adding photos & moving the external links into references etc - grateful for any comments. I've read the lead which says "institutions (including nonprofit organizations, government entities, and private businesses) that collect and care for objects of cultural, artistic, scientific, or historical interest and make their collections or related exhibits available for public viewing. Also included are non-profit art galleries and university art galleries." but I'm still a little unsure about the inclusion and exclusion criteria - some of those which are in I would count as historic sites but not necessarily museums as they don't have specific collections (examples might be Ashton Windmill, Cleeve Abbey etc) and other sites which I would have expected to see included are not examples might include Ashton Court, Brean Down Fort, Taunton Castle etc. What about heritage railways etc or EH sites, NT sites etc I don't want to go changing one county too much if there are agreed criteria for all counties.&mdash; Rod talk 20:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Also I've just taken a look at List of museums in Bristol (it would be great to add the relevant wikiproject banner to the lists talk page, where appropriate, so that local editors know of the existence of the list) and wondered if "museum ships" eg Pyronaut & Matthew (ship) should included. It would also be useful to add something about these lists to talk at WikiProject Museums.&mdash; Rod talk 20:33, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * And what about zoos eg Noah's Ark Zoo Farm or Bristol Zoo?&mdash; Rod talk 20:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

These are all good questions. To me, the definition of "museum" is fluid, and sometimes depends on the type of museum. In England, in particular, there are many sites operated by English Heritage that have historic interest. Most of the English Heritage sites I did not consider museums are ruins that are open for tour, with only outdoor panels or a booklet describing the site and its significance. Brean Down Fort seems to be a similar site, but it's hard to tell from the photos and descriptions I see on the National Trust's page. If there were guided tours or exhibits, then I would classify it as a military museum. Maybe there should be another type of museum designation for these types of outdoor historic ruins and remains that have explanatory panels. Any good ideas on a useful descriptive name? "Historic sites" is too broad and ambiguous, as is "Historic ruins". Help!

Sometimes the websites for certain locations make it difficult to tell what is being exhibited. I could not tell if the interiors at Ashton Court were on public display as a museum itself. Are the rooms furnished or not? The website focuses on private functions like weddings, and the gardens seem to be public. If the interior is open to the public regularly, then I would include it in the list of museums.

Taunton Castle is listed as a museum under the Somerset County Museum article. From the county's website, it's hard to determine whether the castle is open as a historic house, or is just completely the home of the new Museum of Somerset. Any help here would be welcome.

Heritage railways are included if they feature a museum or exhibits, but not if they just offer rides. In the same way, museum ships are included when they are permanently moored and open for touring, not just a traveling ship. I can't tell whether Pyronaut is open for tours from the website. Matthew (ship) seems to be just for harbour tours.

Zoos, arboreta, botanical gardens and aquariums are often labeled as museums on tourism websites, but I consider them a category separate but related to museums. That's why I always included the See Also link to visitor attractions in a county, like Category:Visitor attractions in Somerset. In this way related attractions could be found, including heritage railways, ruins, cathedrals and other historic houses of worship, etc. If one of these venues included museum exhibits or an art gallery, then I try to include it in the list of museums and note what the site offers. Nature centers should also be considered museums if they feature exhibits, not just trails and wildlife.

Photos of the sites are a welcome addition, although they do make the page take longer to load, particularly on a list with a lot of museums. I understand why you moved the links to footnotes, but the reason I posted websites or information sites was to aid Wiki visitors in finding the actual website for a museum without an existing Wiki article. If the article exists, then that's where the link would be, but many smaller museums may never be considered notable enough to have an article created about them, so the website listing is there to go to directly. In many cases, tracking down the official website was a challenge! Unfortunately, I think most people won't read the footnotes, so by moving the website to a footnote it limits the usability of the link. I suggest keeping the websites as part of the Summary for museums with no existing article. Jllm06 (talk) 12:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Coordinates on Somerset museums
I suggest that the coordinates for each museum be put at the end of each museum's summary, rather than in the Town field. By having it in the Town column, it affects the sorting in that column. The table will also be easier to read that way. Thanks for adding so many photos and data. Jllm06 (talk) 11:46, 31 May 2010 (UTC)


 * With the coordinates in the Town column, when you sort on that column you lose the sort first by town then alpha within town. Now it sorts first by town, then by None or Coordinate.  Also, by having the coordinates in that column, it's hard to read the town at a glance.  With your OK, I suggest moving the coordinates to the Summary field. Jllm06 (talk) 00:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rod,

Sorry, there does not appear to be enough hours in the week. I've got one GAN review to do tonight (hopefully I can pass it and close it) and after that it will be the weekend (possibly Friday night) before I can do any more work on wikipedia. Can I suggest that you nominate it today at FAC?

 * I think you're right, something to do with the building is best. Couple of ideas:


 * ... that the Old Priory Barn, which now houses the Somerset Cricket Museum, is the only surviving building of the Augustinian Taunton Priory?
 * ... that the Old Priory Barn, which now houses the Somerset Cricket Museum, was once used as a chapel by Frenchmen?
 * The first one seems the most promising, but feel free to come up with something better!  Harrias  talk 07:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
