==Archive== * User talk:RHaworth/Achive to 2005 March == Template:Gbmapping and 1 E5 people == Hi. You write: :I have changed Template:Gbmapping so it looks like this . Please approve (or revert - as long as it gets discussed I shall be happy). -- User:RHaworth 18:11, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC) I'm relatively happy with that. I don't especially like links in headings, which the 'Grid Reference' sort of is, but on the other hand the 'link in brackets' is a bit cumbersome too. I'm certainly not going to revert as I think your change is an improvement, but I might put some thought into a better way. You also write: :I created 1 E5 people a few days ago. The full set of "1 Ex people" articles sprang into existence very quickly but not a lot of pages are using them yet. -- User:RHaworth 18:11, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC) I'm at a bit of a loss as to why you sent me this. I've not previously had anything to do with those article. Mistaken identity perhaps. ps. I hope you don't think I'm the idiot who cannot spell Haworth. My spelling is pretty bad, but as someone brought up just over the hills from that place, that isn't one on my sins. I just inherited it from a previous editor without noticing it. Anyway, thanks for the messages. -- User:Chris j wood 15:20, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC) == How can a tram route cross a trolley bus route without short circuits == Hi Roger. An interesting new article. I've made one small change. When I first read the para I've changed, I thought it was saying that all trams used pantographs for current collection, which obviously isn't true. On re-reading, I decided that wasn't what it said, but hopefully my change will remove the confusion. -- User:Chris j wood == Images in commons == Thank you for providing images to the commons.

Template:mmukpc is an abomination reserved for use from the UK railway stations - A through UK railway stations - Y articles - change it anyway you want.'' I've been looking at a few map links tonight, and wonder if we - you - agree and would consider that we'd be better linking certain rural stations to a different scale and size of map - [http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=377000&Y=384000&gride=377360&gridn=384370&scale=25000&coordsys=gb&db=pc&lang=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&localinfosel=&local=&kw=&srec=0&mapsize=big&db=pc&rt=] rather than [http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&db=pc&cidr_client=none&lang=&pc=WA143QD&advanced=&client=public&addr2=&quicksearch=WA143QD&addr3=&addr1=], and use the bigger map for those that work better at the current resolution - [http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=520500&Y=180500&gride=520613&gridn=180299&scale=10000&coordsys=gb&db=pc&lang=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&localinfosel=&local=&kw=&srec=0&mapsize=big&db=pc&rt=] rather than [http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&db=pc&cidr_client=none&lang=&pc=W36BH&advanced=&client=public&addr2=&quicksearch=W36BH&addr3=&addr1=]? Which would mean changing the, as yet unfathomable to me - Template:Mmukpc prim and adding a new template. I can cope with pootling along chaning the maps over time. Probably. Your call. thanks --User:Tagishsimon User_talk:Tagishsimon *I agree [1] is much prettier than [2] for those cases where multimap uses the TeleAtlas NV maps by default. So I have given you and tested it with Ashley railway station (you could have used a station that already had an article!). I have also switched template:mmukpc which is only used by "UK railway stations - ?" to use the [1] scale. Let's see if anyone screams - after all once in multimap, people can always hit the "zoom in" button. :I cannot see any difference between [3] and [4]. :What is unfathomable about Template:Mmukpc prim?? It is simpler than any other links to multimap and it works with postcode or grid reference. Given the very large Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Mmukpc prim, I would not dream of changing it. Actually that list is totally misleading - there are just two templates and four articles that use it directly. :-- User:RHaworth 04:04, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC) *You did not try very hard with your Ashford mod - if you follow the live departure board link, it gives you an "Information about ..." link which gives a postcode and in the case of AFK the postcode is correct (some of them are not). -- User:RHaworth 05:53, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC) *I was unaware of the additional information pages. Would you care to amend your templates to point additionally to [http://nrekb.com/stations/index.html?a=findStationByCrs&crscode=ALM] et al? --User:Tagishsimon User_talk:Tagishsimon 13:02, 2005 May 3 **Is it cheeky to say this? - I have no objection whatsoever to your amending the templates in this way. -- User:RHaworth 13:52, 2005 May 3 (UTC) ::There are also some links like this one for [http://www.networkrail.co.uk/Stations/stations/Charingcross/Default.aspx Charing Cross] which go to a different set of info. pages. These can be retained even if the templates are amended. -- User:RHaworth 09:50, 2005 May 4 (UTC) ==Aerial photo links== *The multimap links to aerial views are not very appropriate for use in Scotland, the areas covered are minimal, indeed those areas that are allegedly covered simply don't work and haven't for some time. -- User:Fraslet 20:34, 2005 May 2 **Feel free to develop a map-only template for Scotland but be aware that I hope that before not very long all the templates will be changed to look like this: *** for Hardgate ::On the map sources page try the Terraserver link. OK, the picture has moved two more clicks away from the article but you do get a choice of four satellite images. -- User:RHaworth 13:52, 2005 May 3 (UTC) :*I changed my mind, I have added a map sources link to and retained the existing links - see Hardgate for example. -- User:RHaworth 04:54, 2005 May 5 (UTC) ==coor and all that== Hi Roger, are you aware of the options available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. Adding coordinates with the {coor dms} template, such as :(coords: ) — Links to a meta page that offers maps from a range of online maps, including MultiMap. Not that the {Mmukpc} template is bad, but using coordiates is more universal, invariable and could lead to a variety of additional functions in the future. Also linking to a meta page of map links removes bias, similar to ISBN links connecting to a range of book vendors, not just Amazon.com. The only problem with it is that the meta page is currently hosted away from the main Wiki servers. -- User:Solipsist 06:20, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) *I will give a detailed reply here anon. The most obvious problem is that we simply do not use lat/long in GB. Point of terminology: Grid References are co-ordinates just as much as latitude and longitude, they are universal within GB and invariable. I posted a suggestion that the .php that template:coor calls should be extended to accept OS Grid Refs. I have been pointed to the source code of the .php. So it looks like we can have Grid Refs as an input to coor but I will probably have to learn php (which won't do me any harm) and do it myself. I also have to fix the bug that the link to Getamap goes to a location 100 km too far north - try it on your link above. -- User:RHaworth 07:19, 2005 Apr 27 (UTC) ::I see the problem. I'm not really the one to dicsuss it, as I don't know that much about geo-coords. I can just see the benefit of everyone using the same system. But if the system does't work, it is certainly better to get the coordinate info added any which way. -- User:Solipsist 08:00, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) *Template:oscoor which accepts Grid Refs has now been created and put into use by a few templates. My comments above related to most of the map templates - apart from template:mmukpc itself. mmukpc is an abomination - I only wrote it because the direct multimap links which it replaces were an even greater abomination. -- User:RHaworth 04:54, 2005 May 5 (UTC) == Dotty map scales == Hi, thanks for your comments on my talk page (I replied there). I've since realised my mistake with the scale and have also made it readable at thumbnail size. Check out :Image:Nottingham - Nottinghamshire dot.png. Let me know what you think - I'll start replacing the existing maps with this scale before too long. User:Lupin 20:25, 8 May 2005 (UTC) :Here's a new one with a thicker scale line. User:Lupin 23:45, 9 May 2005 (UTC) :*Yes. Much better. -- User:RHaworth 00:05, 2005 May 10 (UTC) == GB location data == Now at :wikisource:British locations.

But thanks anyway. -- User:RHaworth 23:53, 2005 May 9 (UTC) Regarding the Wikipedia TV-FM DX article, thanks for correcting the spelling mistake for Holme Moss. The re-direction is also appreciated. User:Bivariate-correlator 08:27, 10 May 2005 (UTC) ==Irish grid== Thanks for your comments on the Irish Wikipedians board. I've updated Irish national grid reference system with a couple of examples, if you would like a test harness. Since anything to do Ireland always runs into problems with naming, I've found the terms TM65 (transmercator 1965 datum) and IRENET95 (1995 revision) seem to be reasonably value free and recognised equally by Ordnance Survey Ireland and Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland. Extending OSCOOR to do both grids is probably ok though. --User:Red King 17:03, 12 May 2005 (UTC) ==Hol== I am on holiday until May 25 so apologies if messages here go unanswered. -- User:RHaworth 09:32, 2005 May 18 (UTC) ==:Image:Tramtrol 001029x.jpgand family== please place this image and the others listed on its description page on/in appropriate pages or categories on commons. User:Plugwash 10:51, 20 May 2005 (UTC) == Template:gbmapping == Hi. Hope your holidays were good. You might like to look at the discussion at Template talk:gbmapping where there seems to be some disquiet about the recent changes. Personally I really like the new mechanism, at least when browsing with Firefox, but it doesn't seem to work at all well in Microsoft Internet Exploder. I get a 'yellow redirection notice' every time I click on a :Template:gbmapping link, and that same notice captures my 'back' button so I cannot get back to the original article. -- User:Chris j wood 20:14, 27 May 2005 (UTC) == Curse tablet == I'm confused by your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Votive_deposit&diff=9251830&oldid=9251801 addition] of text about "curse tablet" to the votive deposit article. How do the two relate? (The text doesn't make this clear, at any rate.) I think that curse tablet should be a separate article, perhaps listing votive deposit in its "See also" list. (As an aside, the secting of the "curse tablet" content is wrong: it is at ===, whereas it should be at ==. Let me know what you think. User:Neilc 05:34, 28 May 2005 (UTC) * Both votive deposits and curse tablets can be used as requests to a deity to perform a specific action. I think the text makes it clear - the title of the external link sums it up nicely - ''Cursing Not Curing: The Darker Side of Holy Wells''. The article is a nice size - there is no need to split it. Feel free to change the secting. -- User:RHaworth 05:57, 2005 May 28 (UTC) ==A151 road== You have caught the article at an in-between stage. I started it as an itinerary then realised that as it grew, that approach would not work. I have been side-tracked into dealing with the problems noted above re: gbmapping. I see from this page that the trouble lies in using Internet Explorer, as I do. In the mean-time, I have been taking gbmapping links out of my contributions. Your insertion of the old map link suffers from the same problem but also from the fact that except at the largest scale, the old maps as presented by the link are more or less illegible. The trouble with the largest scale is that, in most cases, the context of a site is important. However, the Gate pub info gleaned from it, is useful and strengthens the impression given by the name of Gate Farm, across the road. I don't know that end of the A151 as well as I do the other. I uploaded the article in its somewhat chaotic state because I had become wary of inadvertently clicking on one of these inescapable links while checking the preview of my edit. That had too often meant that I had lost the edit and had to start again. Therefore, you see the job half done. (User:RJP 10:02, 28 May 2005 (UTC)) *right click and Open in New Window - have you never tried it? That is the solution. I use Internet Explorer, I check my links in the preview window and I have never lost an edit because I always open in new window, leaving the preview/edit window intact all the time. I have put a bit more on this topic in Template talk:gbmapping. :I am glad in a way that old-maps has the broken back button syndrome - proves its not just me. Their "Enlarged View" gives at least half a mile context - how much more do you need? And of course you can always pan the map. :Note I have given you template:getamap for direct links - but may I respectfully say, is there one grid ref link or potential link in the article where you want the reader to look at a specific map? Is it not better to give them the choice of OS Explorer (1:25000) data, Landranger (1:50000) data via getamap, Landranger via multimap (better), Landranmger via streetmap.co.uk (even better but needs an extra click to get at) or aerial photos? :Incidentally. I actually have turnpike trust on my to do list of Wikipedia articles. But you are obviously far more qualified. A couple of Lincs questions you might care to answer some time: What is the significance of "internal" in Upper Witham Internal Drainage Board and how on earth does Gedney, Lincolnshire justify the Hill in its name? :Keep up the good work and don't mind me. -- User:RHaworth 11:56, 2005 May 28 (UTC) From User:RJP: Thank you for your advice re: opening in a new window. I am now able to make use of that but I wonder whether we should assume that all readers of the Wikipedia know about it too. (Indeed, I have just been on a non-return trip to an aerial photo and lost this almost complete edit!) * my notes today on the map sources page may help a bit. -- RWH The template ''getamap|grid ref|(map)'' is very good. It is short, flexible in use and enables the use of a different grid ref in the text from that in the template. This allows the grid ref to be given while the map is not inevitably centred on it. If it could be arranged that the writer could choose the scale of the map which comes up and whether it was put onto a new window; that would be ideal. I have no idea how practical that is from the software point of view. :-) I have used this and ''mmuk mapho25|easting|northing'' in River Glen. I have no objection to having templates offering multiple choices to be used as they seem suitable but flexibility in use by the writer is an attribute to be valued more highly than multiple choice. If a template like the ''getamap|'' one could be provided for the aerial photos; that would be very good. Perhaps it already exists. If so, please let me know. It would simplify RAF North Witham from the reader’s point of view. I think that here, the AP with its distinctive three-runway pattern, is quite effective. * Getamap likes to go in at the 1:25000 scale. If you give it a low res Grid Ref such as , it will give you 1:50000. But that is all the control you have, as far as I know. We can control the scale of multimap on entry - and it gives the Landranger data at more pixels/km than getamap (streetmap gives even more pixels/km but their Landranger stuff is harder to get at). I have given you template:mmuknr map and template:mmuknr photo and used them in River Glen. We can call multimap's map pages using a "Landranger" type grid ref, eg. SK9166 or with separate X & Y. But it seems you can only call its photos using X & Y so that is the format I have used for mmuknr_map, for symmetry. :By the way: 1) I hope you have noticed that with Internet Explorer multipmap's aerial photos are overlaid with the map as you glide the cursor over - very pretty; 2) you are at liberty to create templates yourself! -- User:RHaworth 08:13, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC) A Fenland hill was land high enough to form a refuge when the rest of the place was flooded. To qualify, an altitude of four metres was ample, three would do. Gedney Hill is not the only one. For example, there is , , or . Anything which stands up higher tended to be called an island, though you may need to translate the Anglo-Saxon name to know. There is of course, the famous . Note the 26 metre spot height. This is exceptionally high. In , (thorn island) you get to only 7 metres, though 6 is the highest noted on this map and rises to six. Note the dizzy heights of Lattersey Field farm. Presumably it was named after the field which extended from , on the margin of . It is clear from the AP, (You know how to deal with this but I wouldn't offer this format to the seeker after general information), that the people knew where best to put their houses. There are broadly, three sorts drainage associated with fens. * Where the fen lay in a relatively elevated position, cutting a drainage channel to a lower point was enough and relatively simple. In England, it was generally done long ago and its doing is now usually forgotten. An example of this is the fen around which the Battle of Bosworth evolved. People have great difficulty in working out what happened because they are unable to recognize the 1485 terrain in the ground of today. * The second is the prevention of the flow of water into a fen at close to sea level. The upland river water is channelled through the fen without its entering actually into the fen. The surface water and streams of the upland are collected in catchwater drains running around the fen and upland boundary and fed into the rivers. This job is that of the river boards or river authorities; the naming fashions change. * The third is the collection of rainwater which falls directly onto the fen as well as leakage through the river embankments and under the catchwater drains: Artesian aquifer and the ground water traditionally called Soak dike. This water is fed to sumps and pumped into the rivers or, more usually in Lincolnshire at least, towards the sea. This is the job of the internal drainage boards or authorities. The word 'internal' seems to have been introduced into this context in around 1940. It was probably to do with some drainage Act of Parliament. The Upper Witham Internal Drainage Board is a problem. The upper Witham is in relatively hilly country where Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Rutland meet, near (go to 1:50 000). The history which includes the internal drainage boards is a bit modern for me. Neither am I any great expert on turnpike trusts.

User:The JPS 12:10, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Deeside Consortium == Yes, it does say it's a stub. However I have no idea what it is about. Has the college taken over control of the three schools? Is it providing bulk purchasing for all 4 schools? Are they working together to develop courses? As it reads to someone who knows nothing about this, it is not encylopedic. Stubs still need to give some idea what they are about and how that makes them notable. A few words about the purpose of the Consortium should clear this up. I suspect that if someone completly explains the purpose of the Deeside Consortium, then the stub will no longer be needed since the article would be reasonably complete. User:Vegaswikian 17:42, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Re:User talk:131.111.8.98 == Thank you for said note, it was much appreciated. So, here I am, account and all... --User:TheGrappler 00:43, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==Pentrich, Derbyshire== On my browser (Firefox) your yellow marker dot for Pentrich appears to be in Northern France... :-) User:Linuxlad *Oh ! I have tested it with two versions of Internet Explorer and two versions of Opera. 1) Try a few more of Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:GBthumb. 2) If they are all faulty, try Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Ie citytown infobox. If the Irish one works and the British does not, tell me. If both don't work, tell User:Bastique because I cribbed GBthumb straight from Ie_citytown_infobox. -- User:RHaworth 12:30, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC) Will have to be later (appropriately, going up to Derby now - will see if I can find a yellow dot on the way there). Belper dot was in the right place, so is Alfreton. EW location of Pentrich dot is also about right but it's about 6 inches too low (at the word 'informer') Bob *Also, try any "Map sources" link and select "Find this location on Multimap (aerial photo) - with circle (using lat/long)". Does that work? The multimap circle is applied in much the same way as the Pentrich dot. (But the Belper dot is a totally different dot!) -- User:RHaworth 20:26, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC) The browser is actually Firebird (pre release Firefox). Lichfield, Slough don't work either. I don't usually have a problem with Multimap. Just tried Dillo on it - Belper, Alfreton are OK. Pentrich is NOT. (Dillo prides itself on being standard W3C html). -- User:Linuxlad *The write-up on Dillo says it don't support CSS so we would not expect it to handle any of Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:GBthumb. Re Firefox: Does it place a red circle around Belper on this [http://www.multimap.com/p/browse.cgi?GridE=-1.475885&GridN=53.026&scale=100000&lon=-1.475885&lat=53.026 Multimap link]. **Yes. the circle's there, within the town User:Linuxlad :And what does it make of Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Ie citytown infobox? :*I tried these - couldn't see anything untoward. :My feelings are that CSS is now an integral part of HTML and that the benefits of the GBthumb technique are so great :*which, why! There appear to be lots of maps that do without it! :that we can ignore any browser that does not support CSS properly. But let's see what User:Bastique thinks. -- User:RHaworth 06:15, 2005 Jun 17 (UTC) :*Very debatable! Wikipedia is meant to be a fairly accessible site - I would be disappointed if reasonable accomodation couldn,t be made for Dillo and its kind. If we go down the bells and whistles route, we'll end up needing Flash and a full JVM - WP should use the lowest level technique that delivers IMHO. Eg. I sometimes run Dillo on a playstation2 or on an old 486. It gives me 99% of what I want at 1% of the cost of a modern hot-box. User:Linuxlad "I tried these - couldn't see anything untoward." Just to be clear on that, please. Look at the Swords, Dublin article. There is a map. With Firefox do you see a red dot? Where is that dot? RWH *One dot, in the box but offshore on the East coat.User:Linuxlad 11:22, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) Same question for Dublin (which has slightly different HTML for its dot). RWH *A blob where I think Dublin is, and another dot, offshore, roughly where the Swords one was.User:Linuxlad If you see dots for those and in the right places then we do have a strange problem with the GBthumb dots. -- User:RHaworth 07:19, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC) Thank you very much for taking the trouble to follow this thread. I have posted [http://home.btconnect.com/citilink/rwh/scrsho_dubl.png this screen shot] (Opera 8 under Windows XP) to show what I see for these two Co. Dublin articles. Both Bastique and I would be very interested to see screen shot/s from Firefox of the same articles. It is probably easiest if you post them to one of your own websites but you can upload them to Wiki instead. Mention of a blob and a dot for Dublin is puzzling - it cannot be surely that you are mistaking Lambay Island for a computer-generated dot. -- User:RHaworth 19:45, 2005 Jun 18 (UTC) == Adding a map to Whitchurch, Hampshire == I am puzzled. After much searching I cannot see how you create a small map with a yellow dot on it to show the location. Would you point me at the relevant page? Thanks -- User:Jmcc150 20 June 2005 15:07 UTC *Template:GBthumb. I will try and find time to document it. -- User:RHaworth 18:03, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC) == Wide Open == lol. A fine example of how the wiki can vandalised creatively. User:The JPS 10:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Depression == Thank you for your redirect to Depression (meteorology) and the mergeto suggestion! --User:ClareyF 20:17, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery == Howdy, User:Topbanana here, back after an extended absence. I've decided to round up a few of my more useful reports into a project with the goal of converting as many "red links" (links to non-existant articles) into "blue links" (links to real articles). As you've been active in fixing similar things in the past, I thought I'd let you know in case you're interested in joining up. If not, I won't be offended - we've all got lots todo here :) - User:Topbanana 11:38, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)
