[edit] Fairport Convention

Hi Andy, I spotted it because I was watching the "Recent changes" list (which you'll find if you click on "Recent changes" on the left-hand side of this page); and I recognized the IP address as one that had already caused vandalism to an article on my watchlist.

By the way, I know that "now I'll get out even less" feeling.  :-) Slim 00:34, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] River Leam

I didn't understand the term ironstone hills - I had never heard it before and thought you were referring to an actual place. However here in lies a lesson: if I (a British person) am likely to get confused over the use of the term in an article, how are other non-British pople going to take it? Does it need to be in the article and if it does, why not link it and use an article to explain the term and its history?

As for the redlinks in the River Leam article, I would say leave them. Kites Hardwick may only be a few houses on a road, but you can guarantee there is someone out there who can write a good article about it. What about its history and foundation? Where does its name come from? Where is it geographically located? Where does it fit in context with other local places? It may only be a hamlet but all places are important. There are plenty of articles on American places where the poopulation is one person (believe me there are) so I wouldn't over worry about how small a particular article is going to be - leave it and someone with more knowledge on that subject will create it and expand it.

PS do you want me to help sort out the problem with your user/talk page? -- Graham ☺ | Talk 17:05, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Let me explain what I did

I moved your user page back to your talk page so that the page history sits here. I then copied and pasted your bio over the redirect at your user page so that the two are once more divided. Sorted. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 17:29, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Graham, thank you very much indeed! Andy F 17:33, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Oxford Canal

Hello, its nice to hear from someone local, actually there was another local user User:GregRobson from Southam, small world hey. About the photos, I took some lovely photos of the Oxford near Brinklow a few months back but I cant find the disks with them on, but if the sun comes out I'll see about taking some more.

I put a photo in the Oxford Canal article, hope you like it. G-Man 19:17, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] River Thame

Although interesting it does read a bit like a travel guide. Overall I don't se a problem with it though other editors may take out the interesting bits about the places the river passes because they have no direct subsequence to the river itself that the article is about. Good work. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 14:49, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, Graham, your input is valued as always. I fear the same comments could apply to some of my other 'river' articles too. Andy F 16:43, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Rugby villages

Hello Andy, I am going to write some articles about villages in the borough of Rugby, and seem as you are local I wondered if you might like to help, write some/expand on them etc. G-Man 19:16, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Yet Another London Wikimeet

Heya,

We're organising another London meetup, for Sunday the 11th of September; specifics still to work out, but it will probably be fun as ever, and involve a few drinks and a nice chat in a pub. We'd love to see you there...

[edit] Ever coming back

Say, are we ever going to see you here again, or have you gone for good?. G-Man 22:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
