[edit] Ceredigion

Hey there, I saw you put a lot of text into the history of the Ceredigion, I was wondering where it's all from because it mentions Encyclopedia Britannia at the top. (You might want to read Wikipedia:Cite sources - it's important we have references so everything is verifiable!)

I was thinking perhaps we should split the text up slightly, most of it relates to Cardigan or Cardiganshire - the first constituency with the name Ceredigion was created in 1997.

Regards, Joolz 17:01, 12 July 2005 (UTC) (PS: you can reply on your talk page here, thanks)

I hope I have this right, if not then HELP! The iniital comment from the Enclyopedia Brittianica is from the CD - Rom version, however the rest of the article comes from my own research using a book that is only available in print in the UK.

The constituency of Ceredigion has the following history:

1832 - 1885 Ceredigion County and Borough 1885 - 1983 Ceredigion County (known as Cardiganshire in English) 1983 - 1992 Ceredigion and Pembroke North 1997 - 2005 Ceredigion

Thanks for the reply! (By the way, you can sign comments you make by typing ~~~~) - I think the official name for the constituency was Cardigan/Cardiganshire rather than Ceredigion. What I suggest is having articles on Cardiganshire which would cover the history of the Cardiganshire constituency 1832-1983, an article on Cardigan which would cover the Cardigan borough constituency 1832-1885 and an article on Ceredigion and Pembroke North which would cover the 1983-1992 period. From 1997 onwards we should use the Ceredigion article. This way it's clear for everyone, the official names would be used because I suspect that's what he'd have been called, and also refered to in the Commons, splitting it up like this would make sure everything is clear. I've moved some of the biographical details of the MPs to their own articles, by the way. Oh, lastly, we need to make sure we cite sources so the information is verifiable! It would be great if you could put the books you've used for the information in a ==References== section on the page. Thanks! Joolz 17:49, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not the Harry Hayfield?

From the LibDem Yahoo pages? How you doing ? doktorb 09:21, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I am indeed, yes. Harry Hayfield 13:11, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Cool - Liam Pennington here, not been on the pages for a while, hope all is well. Still number crunching I see =) Hope to see you around the Election pages here doktorb 09:38, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Don't you worry Liam, if there's a majority vote election in the offing, I'll be there, just one small question though, where are the election pages? Harry Hayfield 22:07, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Querying my vote

Hello, Harry Hayfield. Thanks for your inquiry. According to Kate's Tool, you currently have 158 edits, several of which were made after the start of the elections (January 9). I double-checked this manually, counting your edits, and the number prior to January 9 was indeed less than 150. The suffrage rules state that a voter must have registered prior to September 30 and made more than 150 edits by the start of the election (January 9); thus, you do not have suffrage in this election. While I understand your frustration (I myself was denied suffrage in the last Board election) and the possible confusion of the last-minute rule change (the 150 edit requirement was added on the day before the elections started, something which I opposed), there's nothing I can do about it. I hope you understand that, and thanks for your understanding. If there's anything else I can answer for you, please don't hesistate to ask. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

No, that's quite all right thanks. I just wasn't aware of the complexities of the rules Harry Hayfield 22:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that Harry, I thought you were well over the requirements. I wonder if you had anon edits before that which could be counted, but anyway thanks for your support. David | Talk 22:27, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dunfermline and West Fife by-election, 2006

Hi Harry. Thanks for your contributions. Just a note about the line you put in the by-election article: "As the date has now been set for February 9th 2006, I will post tomorrow the actual moving of the writ from Hansard." Comments like this - in the first person and about potential changes to the article - should be in the edit summary or on the talk page, but not in the article itself. Thanks. --Whouk (talk) 11:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. It would be fine to put in a line like "The text of the writ has yet to be published" if you're planning to put it in once it has. The main thing to avoid is using "I" in an article. Cheers. --Whouk (talk) 23:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page move

Hi Harry. Your page move from Moray (Scottish Parliament constituency) to Moray by-election 2006 puzzled me as the two subjects are very different, and there is already an article for the by-election at Moray by-election, 2006 which will expand as the by-election continues (cf. Dunfermline and West Fife by-election, 2006 and Dunfermline and West Fife (UK Parliament constituency)). Consequently, I've suggested on the article Talk page that the article be moved back to Moray (Scottish Parliament constituency) and that Moray by-election 2006 be redirected to Moray by-election, 2006. Please add your comments and support/oppose this suggestion on Talk:Moray by-election 2006. Thanks. —Whouk (talk) 15:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UK blizzard, 2006 deletion nomination

[edit] AfD nomination of UK blizzard, 2006

I've nominated UK blizzard, 2006, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that UK blizzard, 2006 satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UK blizzard, 2006 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of UK blizzard, 2006 during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. -Canley 23:57, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Calculations

Hey Harry =)

I think if you put a source to the calculations for the Boundary Changes in the article, that should be alright.

My fear is the next UK general election article is now spreading somewhat wide and may have to be cut down once your sourced section goes in. I may put a note on the article's talk page to ask for ideas on how to keep the article within reasonable, er, boundaries =)

[edit] General election articles

Hi -

I've removed some blank sections you added to various articles on general elections in the UK. If you were planning to add information, then please feel free to add them back in at that time. Warofdreams talk 02:53, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I was indeed, yes, but needed to find the materials to add to them Harry Hayfield 08:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you requested a peer review for the article on the 1983 general election. Did you intend to add this to Wikipedia:Peer review, or did you intend it as a request for help with just one section of the article? If it's the latter, I'd be happy to help - just leave a message on my talk page. Warofdreams talk 02:47, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Pass! Basically, what I am trying to do is to find out the best way of producing that information in the form a table, that I can then adjust to match all the other tables. Harry Hayfield 08:36, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Next United Kingdom general Election

Harry

Thanks for the input to the UK general election page, but I think the Target list is perhaps too much...The article is already too large as it is, and if you include three of four tables per party, it's going to get quite difficult to manage.

Can I request you include just the top 10 targets for each party? I am going to move the boundary stuff to a new page to avoid the size issues. I think you should do something with the target tables to help keep the article managable

Cheers

doktorb wordsdeeds 07:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Certainly, you see that's the problem the Conservatives have. They need 112 gains just to get a majority of 1! Harry Hayfield 09:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tables

Hi -

Thanks for your contributions. Article pages aren't a good place to put requests for help; that's what the talk pages are for. Table syntax is a little complex, and if you don't feel ready to attempt it, could I suggest either posting data on talk pages and requesting assistance, or (better still) using a simpler format - just start each line of data with a * to produce a new line starting with a bullet. If you've got any other queries on this, don't hesitate to ask me. Warofdreams talk 01:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Does that look better on the 1964 General Election? Harry Hayfield 20:48, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, that looks good. Warofdreams talk 10:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I am not the best on tables either! I get stuck, but using existing tables I copy them and try to modify for my own use. doktorb wordsdeeds 13:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Rigadon.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rigadon.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
