Moving images on Millennium Stadium
Hi! I wanted to let you know that I've just reverted your edit to Millennium Stadium, and give you my reasons for doing so. I did this for a few reasons, but mainly because your edit had moved images about football into the rugby section of the article, making them less illustrative.

Images at the bottom of sections can also cause 'edit-link clumping', in which edit links from consecutive sections all clump together in a group several sections further down, because the images overflowing from previous sections displace them; this makes it harder to edit a specific section later because the link isn't on the same line as the heading. This is particularly apparent at wider screen resolutions, where text takes up fewer lines. (For an example, see Emerson Fittipaldi in a window more than 700px wide.) Unfortunately, the preview doesn't indicate this; however, a quick check after saving (or use of the sandbox for a copy of the article) offers the opportunity to undo.

Finally, though your change may have improved the layout on your screen, it made no difference to any I examined the differences on. When trying to improve layout it's important to test it in a few different browsers at various screen resolutions: what may make an improvement for one user may make no difference for others, or worse, may be significantly detrimental.

I believe you made a good-faith edit, and I don't want to discourage you from trying to make other improvements to the layout of articles, but please remember that layout is a tricky beast that requires thorough testing, and that it is a secondary concern to content and it's logical arrangement. If you want to ask me anything, just reply here: I'll put this page on my watchlist. - ObfuscatePenguin 15:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:U2 at Cardiff Arms Park.jpg
This is a striking image, and I note (with pleasure) that you've gone to the trouble of filling in a detailed non-free rationale. It's not actually a poster but a ticket stub, so the tag isn't quite accurate, but I think that's a fairly minor concern. Rather more so is this: the copyright tag says that such images have to be used "to provide critical commentary on the ... event ... not solely for illustration". At the moment, the Cardiff Arms Park article does seem to be using this image solely for illustration, in which case the rationale would seem to fail. Loganberry (Talk) 23:51, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll edit it out in a day or two if I have to, but is there any way round it? If you could find a couple of references to the actual event, for example, short enough to fit into the article but long enough to be more than simple "there was a U2 concert there" stuff, then it might be arguable that it was critical commentary. I'm rather loth to lose the image, since it is a striking one, but I don't think we can keep it as things stand. Loganberry (Talk) 16:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Image rights
Thanks for your message. I'm no expert on image licensing, but it seems to me that "I believe it to be copyright-free." might or might not be considered sufficient grounds to tag it as such. I'd tend to err on the side of caution. There's the name of a photographer in the top right corner, which appears to be "J R Andrews" (although the first character is unclear). A quick Google didn't turn up a likely candidate, but if we could find the photographer, it's likely that they could inform you whether they consider it to be copyright free. Without that, I'd suggest asking at Media copyright questions where there are editors with more knowledge in this field. Warofdreams talk 23:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello Seth

My names Jenna and I am the editor at Carmarthenshire Life Magazine. I have had an article in written on Welsh History with one of your photographs attached. Could you send me a high res version of it? Obviously you will be credited in the magazine and I shall send you a free copy. Its the photograph of Hywel Dda sculpture at cardiff hall

The image has several problems. First of all, it doesn't have a source listed, so it should be listed at WP:IFD. It also appears to have copyright problems, as you have indicated. Copyright problems are dealt with at Copyright problems, which is where I would list the image (instead of at WP:IFD]]. The image was uploaded by User:Spillers Records, so it most likely was uploaded by the store. Royal broil  15:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

On capital letters
Our style guide for capitals states (here):
 * For proper names and trademarks that are given in mixed or non-capitalization by their owners (such as k.d. lang, adidas and others), follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules.

There is also a fuller illustration of how we normally deal with names in mixed case. In the absence of anything it might stand for as an abbreviation, the standard capitalization would be Atrium, and not ATRiuM - regardless of the University's wishes. As things stand, because Atrium (Cardiff) has no edit history, ATRiuM (Cardiff) can be moved back there without any issue, unless there is some significant reason for doing so other than adhering to their own preferred form.

John Owen (Owain Alaw)
Hi Seth, just curious about the 'unreferenced' tag you have added to the John Owen (Owain Alaw) article - there are three separate sources that are referenced in the article. I know this isn't exactly comprehensive, but I think it'd be more appropriate to point out specific parts in the text you feel need a reference (the 'citation needed' tags). Any thoughts?

The user looks almost certain to be the same as User:Wales123098, but that account now appears inactive. The edits aren't helpful, but appear as a very slow trickle and are currently being dealt with by warnings. The first image you mention appears to be an exact copy of. It's so blatant that it could possibly be tagged with Db-imgcopyvio, but I've erred on the side of caution and listed both at Possibly unfree images. Please feel free to comment there.

Improving Cardiff articles
Hi Seth I am trying to get some order into the Cardiff related pages and am fairly new to this so would appreciate your views on how best to structure things. If you have a look at Cardiff Bay I've been adding details links to the main articles (or stubs) and hope this will encourage people to develop them. I notice you have a few things on your to do list I also plan to work on, so perhaps we could collaborate, as you have the experience and I work in County Hall and can provide access to loads of refs and images such as aerial views etc?

 * Thanks for helping to develop the Wetlands article. It was CHA's decision to create the reserve in 2000 and I will reference the fact but have temporarily put the most relevant report I can find. David Lowe really did not want that quote included and after consideration I feel it does not add to the article as the rubbish issue is for the whole Bay - not just the Wetlands. You may be interested to know we supported a student to PhD research on the Wetlands so we are getting hold of his dissertation and will publish it on the Web so that it can be referenced.

Are there by any chance, any statues of Llywelyn the Great or Daffyd there? If so, they too would come in really handy for the articles. I wish I could go with you!

 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback may be removed at any time.
 * You're welcome. Don't worry about not using it that often: as long as you use it only to revert vandalism, and not to revert good-faith edits or to revert-war, you'll be fine. For practice, you may want to see New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 19:10, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:City of Machester Stadium @ Commonwealth Games.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:City of Machester Stadium @ Commonwealth Games.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:24, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

St Lythans
Thank you. It was chosen for the 'Did you know?' on 16th August, but the hook was that rubbish about the capstone spinning round round three times, and all the stones bathing in a nearby river. It's a fascinating place, though. It doesn't have the wow factor of Tinkinswood, but it's still wonderful. There were virtually no finds from William Collings excavations - strange, huh? It could be that the site was abandoned and all the ancestral bones moved to Tinkinswood. Just my theory. I haven't found anything else yet that has been as extensively researched as st Lythans, but doesn't have a Wiki article already. The search continues. Llantrisant Parish maybe. But that would be huge. We'll see. Yours, Daicaregos (talk) 21:13, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Just realised that you created the Tinkinswood article, and only in May! I'm sure you noticed that I used the format of your article as the basis of the St Lythans one. It was an inspiration. Without yours, the St Lythans article would have been completely different and definitely a lot poorer. Cheers Seth Whales. Yours, Daicaregos (talk) 21:25, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Request for Adminship
Good morning Seth.

I must, I'm very gratified that you would consider me admin material. If you wish to nominate me, then by all means go ahead! Unfortunately I haven't been able to make as many meaningful edits lately - there's still some peer review comments on Cardiff, Andover F.C. and Colchester Gladiators that still need addressing, but I've been doing a bit of vandal fighting lately. I think the fact I've only made around 1100 mainspace edits may count against me though - just something to consider.

As for Barack Obama, there are a few foreign policy issues of his I don't agree with (especially his views on the status of Jerusalem), but on the whole I'd rather have him as US pres than someone whose VP thinks the Iraq war was a mission from God, and that polar bears shouldn't be classed as endangered because it would affect energy policy!

Park House
Hi, your editing commentaries can be a bit robust but I haven't restored my jocular, personal comments on Park House, which you described as "nonsense" and removed. On reflection, the comments were personal and unsuitable for the article. However, I have reinstated the reference to the house formerly being known as the McConnochie house. It was so called when it was built, was subsequently known by this title for over a century and, to the best of my knowledge, has been called Park House for only about the last twenty years. It remains known as the McConnochie House to all Burges enthusiasts, its fame is entirely due to its being a Burges building and I think retaining the reference will assist those researching Burges on Wikipedia.

Regards.

old bridge, Pontypridd.
I always thought that the "Old bridge" was the longest single span bridge in Europe when it was built. On page 106 of the Rough guide to wales it states this. Is the Rough Guide acceptable to use as a reference? If it is I would like to change this sentence from...

The 140ft bridge surpassed the Old Walton Bridge as the longest single span bridge in Great Britain and remained the longest bridge for another 40 years.[9][14] It may have been the longest single-span bridge in the world too.[15]

to

The 140ft bridge surpassed the Old Walton Bridge as the longest single span bridge in Europe and remained the longest bridge for another 40 years.[9][14] It may have been the longest single-span bridge in the world too.[15]

 * You can always change Wikipedia. However another reference is www.pontytown.co.uk/history which also states "Pontypridd is famous for its old bridge, which was, when built, the longest single spanning bridge in Europe." I wanted to be a bit conservative when I wrote the srticle as I knew it had been replaced by the Walton Bridge as the longest in the UK, while I did not have the info with regard to Europe. In answer to you question, if you wish to change it, it is up to you. Seth Whales (talk) 18:41, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'll see if I can find some more references to it first then. Not really sure where the Rough Guide got its fact from!

 * It didn't cross my mind, but you're right, especially a British Rail logo! But rules is rules and I can't afford to get sued. I'm replacing them with a little train logo anyway. I still think it's important to highlight the interchanges. Gracias. Welshleprechaun (talk) 19:35, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Senedd you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 3 days.

 * Great work on the Senedd article - real quality. See you've been making major improvements, even since achieving WP:GA. Are you working towards WP:FA? I made a couple of small ammendments before realising that it's a work in progress. I was going to amend millions from m to M per WP:MOSNUM, but thought you may want to do things like that yourself. It's not a big issue, but would be bound to crop up at WP:FA review. Anyway, best I just leave you to it. Cheers, Daicaregos (talk) 11:35, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Cardiff Arms Park
Hiya Seth, I'm doing a major re-write on the sports section of the Cardiff article (see here User:Daicaregos/sandbox 5). I saw image on the Cardiff Arms Park article that you'd uploaded and wondered if you thought the image could be used on the Cardiff article too (from a 'free image' point of view). If so, could you advise me on how to complete the 'non-free image rationale' please. Or, could you suggest any other images that would be appropriate for the section.

Senedd FA
Well, now you have seen what an FA review is like, especially on a topic about which the reviewers know nothing; this example is, I fear, typical. If you want another, I would be happy to co-nominate; if you now value the little star more closely to its actual worth, it's fine to have written a good and useful article, without worrying about the praise of -er- FAC reviewers.

Replaceable fair use File:Cardiff_from_space.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Cardiff_from_space.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Template:Location map Wales Cardiff

Yeah its awkward OpenStreetMap. Actually I had the same trouble, I would supposedly save the map and could never find it in my pictures. I was looking earlier at some jazz chord downloads I uploaded and by accident I found the map of Cardiff I tried to find ages ago! So you look under My downloads rather than My Pictures!! If there are any templates under use which need the pushpin map paramter option to display maps let me know.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 21:38, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
