Farnham Mires
I have just moved your DYK hook for Farnham Mires into Prep and I really like the article. The only pity is that it is about an obscure location that the public cannot visit, and I suppose that the chief attraction to you may be that it is local to you in Yorkshire. I wondered whether you might be interested in doing something similar on a larger scale such as the Wildlife of Iceland that I wrote. If you look at the foot of that article, you can see a mass of redlinked "Wildlife of Europe" articles that do not currently exist. I found that finding out and writing about the Iceland scenery, flora and fauna was very interesting. Anyway, I had better get back to building Prep 1!

 * Don't worry, I have that in hand. The motivation behind creating the SSSI articles is protection by information. The UK does not have a lot of land for new commercial enterprises, so that all land is potentially under pressure (the projected HS2 route is an example). The public can formally object to local Council planning permissions which may adversely affect SSSIs, but the public cannot do that if they don't know that the SSSIs exist, and/or don't know what they are like.


 * Of course, publicity goes two ways, and this project has cost me much heart-searching because now vandals and plant-thieves know about the sites too. However, I think that the greater protection is provided by the publicity. In the hope of offsetting the unwanted-visitors effect (who walk dogs in nesting areas, build camp fires etc) I already have plans to create articles about nature reserves in the same area of North Yorkshire. Official nature reserves are organised properly for public use (car parks, facilities, bird hides etc) and would distract the public from the inconvenient SSSIs, but some of them have almost no publicity.


 * I hope this explanation puts your mind at rest. Congratulations on your Wildlife of Iceland, by the way - fascinating! Storye book (talk) 11:40, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Never hide redlinks
Hiding redlinks bad. Nobody will ever create the article if there is no redlink. Abductive (reasoning) 20:53, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

G'day all, March Madness 2020 is about to get underway, and there is bling aplenty for those who want to get stuck into the backlog by way of tagging, assessing, updating, adding or improving resources and creating articles.

DYK for Beaver Falls Cutlery Company
I'm almost exactly six months late, but I finally uploaded the pictures that I promised in one of your talk archives, and I've placed them in the cutlery company article.

I have a different question about this article, and I wonder if you'd be able to check your source. The article currently contains the following phrase:"By 13 October 1866, Binns & Mason was a chartered company. It lacked capital and needed investors from Pittsburgh, so it consequently became the Pittsburgh Cutlery Company. The investment was insufficient, so the Pittsburgh Cutlery Company was merged with the Harmony Society's new firm, which was based at Harmony. The Harmony Society had already bought the neighboring town of Beaver Falls in 1849."I'm quite doubtful on one point, the idea that the Society was running operations at Harmony at the time. When they migrated to the US in 1804, they formed the settlement of Harmony, but after a few years they sold the town and moved to New Harmony, Indiana, hundreds of miles away. When that didn't work out, they sold the place and moved back to western Pennsylvania in 1824, and founded the town that's now known as Ambridge. (See Harmony Historic District, New Harmony Historic District, and Old Economy Village for background.) As far as I know, the Society never had a presence in Harmony after they moved to Indiana more than half a century before Pittsburgh Cutlery was formed. Plus, the Society's manufacturing presence was concentrated along the rivers, being heavily dependent on water power (thus Beaver Falls) and the rail transportation that's a lot more convenient along the rivers than in the surrounding hill country. Ambridge is almost straight south of Beaver Falls along the rivers, while Harmony's a good deal farther northeast; see route map.

With all this in mind, does your source say Harmony or Economy/Ambridge? The source is. If it says Harmony, I think more research will be needed (has Whatmore misunderstood the history a little bit? I know I'd have a hard time with similarly-named places in a different country), but if you accidentally misread or mistyped something, that's easier. And please don't think I'm complaining; the history is confusing for those of us who lived there. The first time I tried to visit Old Economy, I knew that it was park-like, and I accidentally followed signs for the park in the adjacent community of Economy.

Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 16:18, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

PS, note from the map that Beaver Falls isn't a neighboring town to Harmony; in the context of 19th-century manufacturing communities, the only neighboring communities for BF would be New Brighton across the river (Beaver Falls was previously "Old" Brighton), which had a significant manufacturing presence, or perhaps Fallston a little ways downstream, but it's always been a tiny community.

A kitten for you!
the DeafMute was too long of an article, I agree, I am learning. Please, allow for some discussion for other reverts. I will do my part to keep information simple and in their respective categories and language. I was not trying to connect the DeafMute category to the public person, but I did not want the public person reverted in its entirety. Thank you for contributing to my learning experience. It is important for me to also be able to contribute while having a learning experience.````

Brimham Rocks
I don't doubt that the visitor centre at Brimham Rocks is closed, as will be thousands of visitor attractions. The point is that Wikipedia is not a diary or a tourist guide. Dave.Dunford (talk) 23:03, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * So I see you've reverted. Are you going to monitor every tourist attraction in the world? Are you going to remember to undo your changes when the lockdown is over? Is stating that a tourist attraction is/was closed during a period when most tourist attractions in the world are/were closed really a sensible use of your time? This change appears to go against WP:RECENTISM, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:NOTDIARY. Those are my "good reasons" for reverting your edit. Dave.Dunford (talk) 23:10, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Re Tourist Accidents section: Hi, I think you should also add a topic sentence so it doesn't look like you cherry-picked a few accidents. Perhaps you have a source that says something about the need to be aware of safety precautions in the absence of barriers and guards, and that the rocks have seen several accidents. Yoninah (talk) 20:09, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I can't find any quotations which put the situation in the context of absent wardens and staff, but I have added an intro with other material that I could find. Thank you for your support with this article. Storye book (talk) 21:58, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. And thank you for the new text. Yoninah (talk) 22:56, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

 * No one likes accidents, but are you suggesting that all dangerous cliffs/mountains should have that text: Mount Everest, the Eiger, the Matterhorn, Scafell, Ben Nevis, El Cap, Snowdon? We're not a public health agency, we provide information not warnings, and that info is already in the preceding section. So I'm removing it again on these grounds. It's fine having it in the tourism section, and it's appropriate there, possibly, but this is the climbing section, and I feel that climbers know that their sport has risks. To repeat it in an article about every cliff is a bit redundant. Thanks! Ericoides (talk) 12:37, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
