[edit] Hello and welcome

I'm not sure if you're new to editing Wikipedia. If you are, welcome (if you're not, forgive my presumption). I spend a fair bit of time editing pages to do with Welsh politics, so we'll probably end up collaborating on certain topics.

For you to be aware, there are separate pages for the Welsh Labour Party and the Welsh Conservative Party, which I have created over the past year or so . The Conservatives' page in particularly needs a good deal more work, which I intend to do when I get to it. It might be worth using these links in your AM pages.

All the best. Normalmouth 13:01, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Tks for your reply. Meant also to say well done on the new pages - long overdue.
"There's only one Normal Mouth" as I wish they would sing at Ninian Park one day (they never will - a chronic lack of talent cruelly robbed me of my childhood dream). I'll add your blog to my blogroll.

[edit] Welsh Assembly article

Thanks for fixing my accidental deletion in the presiding officer bit! I see you've really expanded the article on the Senedd as well, great work. I'm really trying to expand the Welsh assembly article at the moment, to something more like the Scottish Parliament one, which is really in-depth. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks Mathsguy 14:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Welsh National War Memorial2007.jpg

Hi there, nice work on Welsh National War Memorial. Sadly, the image that you uploaded is not free- the website retains copyright to the images, but is offering to sell the right to use them to companies. Obviously, this makes using photos from this site completely inappropriate for Wikipedia, which wants to have content as free as possible, and, as such, the image will be deleted in a couple of days. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. J Milburn 10:23, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welsh Peers

I wished to thank you for contributing to the Welsh Peers artical. However, someone has put it up for deletion. I was hoping you could place your opinion here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Welsh_Peers#.5B.5BWelsh_Peers.5D.5D

and possibly on Welsh Nobility Family Seats here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Welsh_Nobility_Family_Seats#.5B.5BWelsh_Nobility_Family_Seats.5D.5D

Thanks! And lets keep up the good work! Drachenfyre 06:55, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Lord Heseltine ect

On the Welsh peers page, should we really add Lord Heseltine? His territorial qualification is outside of Wales, which is one of the primary reasons for the page.

Another thing I thought of is we should now have to go back and link all these peers and lige peers to this page! lol. What a chore!Drachenfyre 14:19, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your response so quickly. I am hesitant about adding to the list any titles that do not have a Welsh place-name origion or current territorial qualificiation within Wales itself. These two qualificiations were the thrust for not deleting them in the first place, as with one commentator who question having the Earl Cawdor of Pembroke in the list in the first place. Hummm. Can we consider a bit longer? Maybe another list mentioning Welshmen who received a life peerage outside of Wales?Drachenfyre 12:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalisation of headings

Glamorgan, thanks for all of the hard work that you have been doing on Welsh politicians. I would like to point out to you, though, that Wikipedia style is to use sentence format for headings, not title format, i.e., "Offices held" and "External links" is the correct style in Wikipedia for a heading, not "Offices Held" and "External Links". See WP:MSH for more information on headings style. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 14:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] a couple of guidelines

Hi, I can tell you're enthusiastic and you're doing mostly good work...just a few things I'd like to point out:

  1. When adding categories to an article, avoid including supercategoies. For example, Category:Welsh politicians is already a subcategory of Category:Welsh people, so you don't need to add the latter (unless you can find some Welsh politicians who aren't people).
  2. When considering linking to a blog, note that Wikipedia's notability guidelines are quite stringent for blogs and other self-published works.

Thanks, and good job so far. --Stlemur 21:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cathays Park

Apologies for the brusque change to the Cathays Park article. A lot more informative things could be said about the gardens - just needs time. Keep up the good work. Sloman 20:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vale of Glamorgan

Hi pal. Good to see local new articles on here. I live in Barry where are you? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 11:39, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
