Hope you feel better soon, remember to update the A-Z page with our recent endeavours. You might find more for Benie Hoose.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:44, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Double hook sounds good if possible. I've started Template:Whalsay, you might find more on the archaeological sites. I'm building it up and intend to start them all, Symbister could be expanded x 5 and Symbister House I think might have enough, see what takes your fancy.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:53, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

I started Anakalang yesterday in passing while cleaning up Sumba. Do you think you can find enough for a DYK?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 11:50, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh, OK, well done, I was going to leave that as a stub. You might scrape enough for Loch of Houll. Let's move on with the A-Z, we can go back to Brazilian national parks at a later date.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:09, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Isn't there a Bermuda pin map? ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 13:12, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Template:Location map United Kingdom Bermuda.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 13:19, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Depends if there is an address to contact him, a lot of people say that but rarely works in practice. It is still legally viable to use.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:42, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Made a start on Ulu Temburong National Park, more in source 1 in particular and 3, should find more in further sources. I will edit Symbister this evening but will hold off nomming until Rosie can edit.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:15, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Historic site? I believe there are some beautiful waterfalls on Sumba too. I'm a fan of the surfer Rob Machado, he often visits Sumba and helps out with well digging projects over there. If you have time you should definitely watch his film The Drifter its about an hour long, its on youtube. There's a preview here, stunning landscape.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:25, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Several things before I nom Symbister and the house. Village says the house cost £35,000, house says £30,000, village says family came in 14th century, house says 16th century.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 13:44, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

"that Benie Hoose, Pettigarths Field Cairns and the Standing Stones of Yoxie on the east side of Whalsay]], Shetland Islands were believed to have been used by Druid priests" is the planned hook, I've asked Aymatth2 to find something more on Yoxie. That should take care of that. Wildlife of Burundi I'm looking at, you'd probably be best doing your lot first on that one as you're great at those sorts of articles. Anakalang and Ulu Temburong National Park first though.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 14:58, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I've also added you to Template:Did you know nominations/Kollafjørður, please try to improve sourcing and content a little.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 15:21, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Mmm actually Druid past-dated Neolithic, so we might have to change the hook idea. I asked Aymatth2 he can find anything, give it a day or so.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 16:05, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Huxter Fort could be added to create a quadruple hook.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:27, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Whalsay Parish Church and Gossabrough need a little for DYK.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 18:20, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm somewhat confused by the map in the infobox — the only thing that it shows in Paget Parish is the little "4" to indicate which parish it is, but the tooltip says "Map showing the location of Paget Marsh Nature Reserve". Was it meant to be a pushpin-dot map? Nyttend (talk) 18:12, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Go ahead and nom, busy at the moment off wiki.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

On Torre de los Adalides (which is actually Dr. B's baby) I would suggest as a hook: "...that the Torre de los Adalides (pictured) in Algeciras was destroyed by the Spaniards during the Spanish–American War as they thought the Americans might use it as a landmark or base of their own." Although the reference is in Spanish (ref 2 in the article), it clearly describes the background.--Ipigott (talk) 18:48, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

I've been through Municipal Museum of Algeciras. Quite a bit of tidying up to do. I'm a bit worried about the box details (already corrected coords and one of the dates) stating the museum is a listed archaeological site. Are you sure this has not been copied over by mistake?--Ipigott (talk) 21:40, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

The coordinates were wrong but as I explained above, I changed them. I don't know why you now think they show somewhere in the sea. I've just clicked on them again and they hit the museum spot on. I think the problem with the box was that it was copied from one of the articles on a listed heritage site. You have to be careful with this. There is in fact a box specially developed for museums (see Template:Infobox museum) if you need to use it in the future. --Ipigott (talk) 07:16, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Juneau

Juneau gold belt and Berners Bay may interest you. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:27, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

I see what you mean about Juneau gold belt/Juneau mining district. I think they are ok as separate articles if the gold belt article concentrates on the geography/geology and the mining district concentrates on history of the mines. Would you agree? As for Gold mining in Alaska, that one concentrates on the entire state of Alaska, and not just the Juneau area. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:31, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for noming Municipal Museum of Algeciras. Unfortunately, I've done a lot of research and don't find g-books or g-news with any substantial information on Tukgahgo Mountain. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:50, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

That's a cool rotating globe; thanks for that! It's much appreciated! I nomed Berners Bay yesterday. I see you've done a lot with Juneau gold belt; I'll nom it tonight. And one more thanks... for the QPQs... just noticed you did them. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:26, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Way to go with your expansion of Tukgahgo Mountain!! --Rosiestep (talk) 02:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Juneau gold belt: I didn't nom it yet as it was confusing to me... there was so much content about mining. I thought that mining was covered in Juneau mining district and that Juneau gold belt would be about the geography/geology. I'll look at it again tonight, but I thought I had seen at least a few good gbooks refs on "Juneau gold belt" when I created the article. No worries, I'll sort it out tonight. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:01, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

I sorted it out and nomed it. As it turns out, the Juneau gold belt is only one part of the Juneau mining district. I don't think anyone will try to merge them now. --Rosiestep (talk) 06:59, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Just a suggestion... but when you name a reference, would you consider naming it after the author or publisher? For example, I'm trying to develop an Alt hook for Hirebenkal per suggestion by Dr. B; and the guidaindia.com reference is named "megalithic". I would have named the reference: guidaindia.com. Again, just a suggestion. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:03, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

I've attended to Feistritz an der Gail, Tukgahgo Mountain, and Harhoog to the extent that I could. Wildlife of Cameroon indeed is an important article to expand; thanks for suggesting it. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:59, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Will try to find time for Harhoog later.--Ipigott (talk) 10:43, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

You've also been editing Feistritz an der Gail. There are a few strange things in the article which you have simply referenced by a link to a Google translation of the German article - but what you have added is not there. Could you give me an exact reference for you additions and I will try to sort it out.--Ipigott (talk) 15:21, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Think I've done what I can with Harhoog. Unfortunately there was a lot of confused duplication.--Ipigott (talk) 16:34, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say, I really don't know how to handle Feistritz. It would be far easier for me to write a new article from scratch than to try to find out where you found all those "translated" bits and pieces. There are at least 20 different links (each with a separate URL) on the commune site, and the text behind each one can run to several hundred words. I don't understand why you couldn't provide exact links for each item rather than just pointing to the German Wikipedia article. I have spent quite some time unsuccessfully trying to find out where you thought there was something about a local newspaper, for example. I'm pretty sure that this cannot be the case for a community of only about 600 people. Maybe you could use a sandbox to provide the individual links to each piece of information. Otherwise I don't see how I can be of much help.--Ipigott (talk) 08:35, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Please don't withdraw the article. I'll go back to it and rewrite some of the stranger passages, providing proper references. I hope I have not discouraged you from adding content to articles like this. You generally do a pretty good job. In this case, though, the lack of references makes it difficult to find your sources. Furthermore, Google translation from German into English frequently provides misleading information. It is usually much better with the Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish) and even Russian. I'll return to Feistritz later today.--Ipigott (talk) 09:01, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I think Feistritz is more or less OK now. Quite a job!--Ipigott (talk) 16:10, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

An Award for you!!

Cameroon National Barnstar of Excellence

For your considerable efforts on the articles Wildlife of Cameroon and Musgum mud huts, most interesting and well researched. Well done. You'll be the first wikipedian in history to be awarded a Cameroon National barnstar and probably the first Indian to ever be mentioned in relation to Cameroon aside from ambassadors! I've honoured you on the hall of fame on Wikipedia:WikiProject Cameroon! ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 16:36, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

About non-Indian topics or about the quality of articles in general or do you mean that none of the Indian editors seem to care about your work? Dwaipaync, Red tiger and several others of course care about quality, but to my knowledge there is no other Indian editor on wikipedia interested or at least edits wider range topics.

Mount Jackson (Antarctica) stands a chance. Indeed we did, and its precisely for those reasons is stands a chance a] the real problems have already been sorted b] The article is pretty comprehensive based on what existed. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:05, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I've finished editing the Cameroon articles, I moved some content to a new article Protected areas of Cameroon.

Mistranslation

Hi NVVchar. The hook for your Kollafjørður was indeed a serious mistranslation, not so much the "tribute" as the word "nave" which should be "ship". Most Danish, Faroese and Icelandic churches have model ships hanging in the nave - as here. I had corrected the mistake in the article itself to: "The little ship hanging under the vault was donated as a tribute by the parents of a 25 year old who drowned off the coast of Iceland." You could therefore rewrite the hook as

"that the ship hanging in the church (pictured) of Kollafjørður, Faroe Islands, was donated by the parents of a 25-year-old son who drowned in Iceland?"

I don't think "memorial" would be appropriate. Hope this will sort it out.--Ipigott (talk) 11:32, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Mahabalipuram monuments project

User:Rosiestep/sandbox/Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram: Do you know which wl is correct for Rajasimha, who is mentioned in this article? There's Maravarman Rajasimha I and Maravarman Rajasimha II, but their dates don't match up with what's in the article (AD 700-28). --Rosiestep (talk) 00:45, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I'll take a look at the Shore Temple article. I've got a lot more work to do on these articles, i.e. as the Geography sections weren't matching up between articles, I wanted to get the "Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram" Geo section done right, and only then add a few sentences about Geo into all the other articles, i.e. let's not talk about the bus stop in one cave temple or ratha article and not mention it in another, or not mention it at all in the parent article... if that makes sense. Same thought process for History subsections and for Etymology subsections. The Pancha Ratha article, as the parent article over the individual 5 rathas, needs the same treatment, i.e. make the Geography, History, Etymology as good as we can, and then take some Geo, History, and Etymology sentences from it into the individual 5 ratha articles. Of course, there will also be individualized sentences within Geography (i.e. location within the group) and Etymology (whom they are individually named after). The Cave Temples of Mahabalipuram is of course another parent article, over the individual cave articles, but what about Seven Pagodas of Mahabalipuram and Thirukadalmallai; we don't necessarily need to work on them but do we need to account for them in the hook? Lastly, I am focused on the 5x goal, and some of the content I removed from the Geo, History, and Etymology sections was only as an initial clean-up, having planned to restore the content but in a more methodical way within individual articles. My plan had been to work on them all day today, but I'll wait for your return, as you suggested. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:12, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Are you back in town? Ok for me to get back to work on these or should I wait for the weekend?

I think we have plenty of articles as is so no need to create "Rathas of Mahabalipuram". Understand about BoTheCl and attributions for him where appropriate. I believe that Dr. Blofeld has already reverted the main page changes that BoTheCl did prematurely, but before noming, we'll have to doublecheck.
