Happy New Year!
Hello there, and happy new year,

As promised I created a Image:Wales outline map with UK.png. Hopefully it's what you wanted! I've been doing bits and pieces to it over the festive season, but I'm confident its of a suitable quality now. I'm worried it's "twisted" slightly (as I used a variety of source material), but you'll know better if you are to make it a locator map.

I shouldn't see there being a problem putting this straight into Infobox UK place, but might be worth a mention on the talk page if you agree to it. --Jza84 | Talk  00:25, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello again,


 * Sorry to be a pest. I've put some of your handy work to use at WikiProject Greater Manchester/Map, but it seems to have the landmarks positioned slightly too far southwesterly in my browser. Could you advise? :S Hope so, --Jza84 | Talk  02:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Liberal History stuff
First, many thanks for sorting the Inverness by-election page. The list of by-elections had an incorrect reference to the 1954 by-election as being 1955. When I created the page I just clicked on the link without realising. Thanks for doing the re-direction, I was wondering how I'd manage that.

On Emrys Roberts: I'd have to agree the LDHG site is usually pretty accurate, as I am one of the officers of the Lib Dem History Group! I think on this occasion the reference on this particular page to Roberts being Lib Party President was just lifted from the National Library of Wales records concerning its collections of papers. Either the NLW have made an error or it's possible Roberts was president of the Welsh Party for 1963-64 (I'd need to check). The sources I have for the Presidents of the Liberal Party nationally are the LDHG publication, Biography of Liberal History and the publication, British Political Facts by David and Gareth Butler - usually totally reliable. In the circs I think I will try and use those sources to list Lib Party presidents and create succession boxes where appropriate. Regards --Graham Lippiatt (talk) 14:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Data Crystal
Me and my mate were wondering if there is any way of taking over (becoming a bureaucrat) on this wiki: Data crystal, we are asking you because it has been inactive for a long time, and we were hoping to try and take over to help fix it up. I have tried asking people on this wiki but no one is ever on besides me, the only other contributions are random IP addresses that spam the articles (even more then they already are). If you could please reply on my talk page it would be highly appreciated, thanks (This message has been sent to most bureaucrat's). --MỸŠŦЄЯỸЊӘҒҒ (talk) 13:56, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Neath by-election, 1945 at DYK
Interesting article, thanks. Sorry for the late review, but I have made a comment regarding your hook. DYK has accumulated a considerable backlog at the moment, so there's still a day or so to sort this out before expiry. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 17:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Re. Oppose on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ecoleetage 3
Thanks, I'm glad you dumped that drama cauldron elsewhere. I just wanted to express my position, not to attract a swarm of oppose-bashers. Regards, Hús  ö  nd  00:28, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Political maps of Derbyshire
Thanks for your comments. I've considered updating some more of them, do you know which counties need attention?

I didn't create most of the maps, I found them on WikiCommons. They had been created by someone but not added to the pages yet which seemed a shame. However, I did have to create one of them and add it to the Commons category (West Derbyshire).

Election infoboxes
Hi, I've noticed you've been adding infoboxes to general election articles. Irrespective of your personal politics, can you please use the titles of peers? No-one will have the first clue who Edward Smith-Stanley is... &mdash; Wereon (talk) 01:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

User:NawlinIcky
You blocked User:NawlinIcky for 24 hours for creating attack pages, it's also an inappropriate username (attacking User:NawlinWiki) so maybe the block should be indefinite. — Snigbrook 22:16, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Richard Pankhurst (academic)
Hi -- Maybe you didn't notice that I had created redlinks to this person already, but disambiguated him as Richard K.P. Pankhurst. (Okay, now I see you did; would this be the preferred form according to the MoS?) BTW, I looked at his article you wrote, & noticed you didn't mention the anecdote of his birth: Sylvia decided to breed the "perfect child", sized up Silvio as the best candidate & had him service her. I don't think the sexual aspect of their relationship went any further. And yes, I do have a source for this anecdote. -- llywrch (talk) 00:59, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you just trying to be nice to me about confusing Dr Pankhurst's middle initials? Or am I just being paranoid about you reading my edit histories. :) -- llywrch (talk) 07:03, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

1992 Mail/Mirror
The 1992 numbers for the Mail and the Mirror are exactly the same, which suggests to me that at least one of them is wrong, probably the Mirror, which is about a million off its trend line.

Very useful article btw.

This user was blocked, as the username is an endorsement of PKR.com. Prior to the blocking, the user opened a MEDCAB case, and I want to tie up loose ends and sort out the users' various troubles before calling the case closed, before it has even opened. I need to know if the user has had his or her name changed, or if they have simply opened a new account, etc.; in short, I need to get in touch with the user, assuming they are still on the project.
