Photograph request - Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge


At Talk:North Yorkshire we are discussing the collage images for that article's infobox. One of the suggestions has been to use the image to the right. Thematically it is on point, but photographically it could be better, so if there is anyone local who could get a (or anyone who knows of a suitably licensed) higher quality image from approximately that angle that would be very useful. The image must be portrait orientation and would ideally be in better weather (the other proposed images are all taken on sunny days). Thank you. Thryduulf (talk) 22:19, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Help request for geolocation old photos from Whitley Bay or nearby
Dear colleagues! I'm trying define geolocation for set of 1970-th photos taken by Victor Albert Grigas (1919-2017). During his UK trip in 1970-71, he shot set of photos with label "North Sea". You may seen these by this next search prompt.

Some photos was defined and geolocated in Whitley Bay. And may be some others taken in this place or nearby (on the way in or on the way out). As example this house may be in Whitley Bay (the house was caught in a few photos), but I couldn't find it - maybe it's been demolished.

Or this interesting photo also may be shot in Whitley Bay, but i'm also couldn't find this place in contemporary "Google street views".

Maybe you'd like to help me or tell someone else about these photos? Kaganer (talk) 23:41, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Minsteracres: murals still extant?
A new editor, in their first edit, has asserted that the murals by Sheila Mackie in Minsteracres, Northumberland, are known still to exist in 20233. I've looked for a source for that, but can't find anything. Does anyone local have any sources? Pam D  18:03, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Proposed county infobox template change
A discussion is ongoing at Template talk:Infobox English county which is likely of interest to this project. The original proposal is for straight removal of the ethnicity field from the template but keeping the population field. A modification to the proposal includes this also but seeks the addition of two optional, undefined statistical fields within the non-metropolitan and unitary authority sections of the county infoboxes — at present there are no demographic statistical fields, other than population under these headings.

Proposed county infobox template change
A discussion is ongoing at Template talk:Infobox English county which is likely of interest to this project. The original proposal is for straight removal of the ethnicity field from the template; the population field would remain. This and a modified proposal would have the same effect on the North East's county articles. A result of the change, if consented to, is the restriction of demographics, other than population to the local authority administrative sections of the county infoboxes. It has no effect on editors placing reliably sourced statistics in the body of the article. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:14, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
