:''Spalding Jersey is a famous manufacturer of sports balls.'' :''Spalding, South Australia is a town in the Mid North region of South Australia in Australia'' Spalding is a market town in Lincolnshire, England. It is traditionally part of the Holland, Lincolnshire division and is part of the South Holland, Lincolnshire district. It is on the River Welland. The town has a population of about 20,000. Known as 'The Jewel of the Fen', Spalding is famous as a centre of the bulb industry, and has close links with the Netherlands (origin of the Geest family, major local employers). The annual Tulip Parade takes place on the first Saturday in May, and is a major tourist attraction. The event is a procession of floats, on various themes, each decorated with tulip petals, a by-product of the bulb industry. In years when the tulips are late, daffodils are sometimes used in their place. When the tulips are early, crepe paper has to be substituted. Located at the centre of a major region of flower and vegetable growth, due to the rich silty soil which is nearly all drained recovered marshland or river estuary, there are many Garden Centres and plant nurseries, as well as a thriving agricultural industry, and various vegetable packing plants. The main vegatables are potatoes, peas, carrots, wheat, barley, oats, brocolli, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, kale and brussel sprouts, but somewhere in the Spalding area there's a field of almost anything you can think of. Vegetables and other plants can be, and are, sold cheaply by the roadside by farmers and growers. The River Welland and Coronation Channel flows north from Crowland, through Spalding and out to the Wash, cutting the town in half, East to West. The town's best-known building is Ayscoughfee Hall, formerly a 15th century country house and now a museum and tourist information centre. ==External links== *[http://www.spalding.org.uk/ayscoughfee.html Ayscoughfee Hall] *[http://www.spalding.org.uk/flower_parade.html Spalding Flower Parade] * Towns in Lincolnshire

Hello, fellow Wikipedians! ==My introduction to Wikipedia== I loved this site the minute I found it in a Google search. In fact, I just now caught myself looking for the edit tab when reading a normal web page that needed a little tweak, so I think I have a Wikipediaholic already! And the mouseovers on these wiki links, especially when renamed, remind me of Kevin Nealon. ==My interests== But seriously, my interests are engineering, especially human factors and usability, cognitive science, jazz, epistemology for dummies, pop science, nonfiction, especially science books, technical writing and mental models, collaboration as in Wikipedia and participatory design, consumer protection, and bicycling. ==My Wikipedia modus operandi== Wikipedia:New_user_log/August_2004#Spalding my entry in the Wikipedia:new user log from August 2004. Since then my editing style has been mainly working on links - adding both internal and external ones (usually one of the first few on the first page of Google hits), and fixing broken ones - I HATE linkrot. Recently in early 2005 I have noticed that, just as it often happens with the problem of keeping track of anything, there are often articles that are not linked to similar ones and it can lead to much repetition of similar articles under similar names, so lately I have been Wiktionary:liberal adding internal links. BTW, what is the common term for these links? Freelinks? Free-links? Wikilinks? Wiki-links? None of them has an article that I can find. This concept is similar to the need for a common glossary in technical writing, so that consistent names are used for the same thing. OK, on 6/3/2005 I found freelink and wikilink in Wikipedia:Glossary. That's better. Now I just have to add a redirect for freelink. I also create stubs when I am struck with a thought. My watchlist has been growing and growing, since I leave my breadcrumb trail by using the default of watching edited pages. The watchlist is then watched for vandalism, spelling, typos, or anything Wiktionary:strange. ==Some gushing!== I am very excited about Wikipedia, which in IMHO is nearly as groundbreaking as the www itself as the embodiment of the ideals of Vannevar Bush and Tim Berners-Lee on making accumulated human knowledge so accessible that the mechanics of retrieving it doesn't get in the way of thinking, or in other words, it has flow (psychology). In February 2005 I joined the m:Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians after thinking that one of my long articles had been deleted! ==My latest toy== Dillo - I just discovered this wonderful piece of software when commissioning my Linux toy, an old PC brought back to life for web surfing. An old Cyrix 686 processor (first with 32 MB, now 160 MB of EDO memory) can now surf like lightning, thanks to Red Hat Linux plus two pieces of minimalist software - the Blackbox window manager, and Dillo. I was especially impressed with performance on Wikipedia compared to some other computers I have used. While Dillo only does sites with simple html, no Java platform or https, it seems to have no problem with php. A nice feature is built in html syntax checking - almost all web sites have some errors. ==What Wikipedia is not== As I expanded this use page, I wondered if I was starting to blog here, and violate the What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox policy. I don't really think so. On an initial perusal of the guidelines for user pages, I think I'm ok, since this info is mostly Wikipedia-related along with a small amount of personal info. Any opinions? : Hi Spalding - Brookie here - I think you're okay on your musing - it's albout you on the Wiki which seems fine to Me! User:Brookie 15:55, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC) ==Nomination for Patron Saint of Wikipedia== It just has to be Cliff Clavin! Dontcha think? ==My CSS experiments and my small customization of my Wikipedia view== I sometimes have lost edits because I forgot to do the final save after successive Previews. I think the problem was partially banner blindness, but mostly that the "NOTE: This is only a preview and has not yet been saved" message was too small and blended in with the article text. So with the help of some good Wikipedians on the Village Pump Assistance page, I was able to make the notice big (and also blinking on Firefox, IE doesn't support blink). Now if I miss it, shame on me. Here's the line in my monobook.css, along with the development ones that didn't quite work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Spalding/monobook.css
