[edit] Balta island
I don't doubt what you say about the postcard description, but my basis for thinking that it was mislabelled was that Haswell-Smith's book says that there are no census records for the island and he only mentions how busy the sound was during the herring boom, and that the OS maps shown no clusters of buildings as appear on many uninhabited islands which were abandoned in the 20th Century. On the other hand, if they were just wooden shacks, as described in the Baltasound article [1], then I suppose it might make sense.--JBellis 16:47, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Just a minute
Hi panellist does seems to be the slightly more common spelling in the UK, but internationally there are 12,600,000 hits for Panelists but only 130,000 hits for Panellists on Google. Arniep 23:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Tony. There are some instractions for proposing a rename here Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Howto. If the category gets renamed then usually a "bot" will automatically change the category name in all the articles. Cheers Arniep 00:11, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Peel Sessions cat
Hey, it's good to see someone else who's into Peel - you're popping up all over my watchlist! I'd thought about creating that category before, but 1) couldn't really be bothered, and 2) couldn't work out if it should be "Peel Sessions" or "Peel sessions", since it's done somewhat inconsistently [2] [3]. So thanks for being bold where I dithered. Did you think about the capital thing beforehand? It can easily be changed later on, anyway, so it's no big deal. Flowerparty■ 01:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Well, I think it's a useful cat. It's certainly much easier than what I thought about doing back in June :D I'll look out for articles to add it to. Flowerparty■ 02:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles vs. categories
Hi, you've added Boards of Canada to a new category. As the main article of its own category it ought to belong only to it. You can add the category instead and the latter will become a subcategory (as is for Pink Floyd for example). Thus the reader will be able to navigate all resources related to the linked article (it should have a lot in order to get own category). -- Goldie (tell me) 11:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biscay
Hi Tony - I'm new so .... But just wanted to say how much better Bay of Biscay looks after your work - definitely better than I left it so learning all the time. Cheers Nigel 12:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Basically the same thing inspired me! Hope yours was a good trip/break, ours was. Regards Nigel 10:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
