Hassocks5489 is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

I have a number of off-Wiki commitments at present, in particular several publications and research projects I am working on in connection with my interest in modern British railway tickets. I will still be checking Wikipedia daily and monitoring my Watchlist and talk page. I hope to resume more regular activity later this year.

Spoken article review

Hi there, just wondering if you're still planning to review the audio file for the George Washington article as per the Spoken Wikipedia review list. If not, it's totally fine -- feel free to remove yourself from the list or I can do so. If you have already recorded the file please let me know. Thank you.

Hi, can you make a comment about my new project Encyclopine.org

Phone number for public phone box

Hi, Hassocks5489.

I was pleased to see your photo of the K6 phone booth outside St. Mary's in Shoreham. Would you happen to have a phone number for it (if it indeed remains a public phone box with a number)? I am setting up an Easter Treasure Hunt remotely, using Google Earth, and would very much like to enable a small boy to cause the phone to ring. I'd be grateful f you could reply to gordonink at gmail.com before April 2nd, 2015.

Thanks in advance for your attention to the above,

Gordonink

War memorials in Surrey

Hi, There are now the majority of war memorials in Surrey listed on the List of public art in Surrey page. I was wondering whether it might be a good idea to split them off onto their own page? I have already mentioned this to Mertbiol (talk · contribs). Regards Murgatroyd49 (talk) 11:57, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Hassocks5489: Just to put a little flesh on the request above: Murgatroyd49 and I would like to split off the War Memorials from the List of public art in Surrey page. If we are to do this, we think it would be worth rethinking the way that we format the list and consider what information should be displayed for each memorial. We have been playing around with some possible layouts at User:Murgatroyd49/sandbox3. We think it is worth exploring these options before formally proposing the split. Would you be able to drop by and let us know what you think please? We have started a discussion at User talk:Murgatroyd49/sandbox3. There is also the question of breaking up the table, by grouping the memorials into different categories by design/appearance.

I have half an eye on a potential Featured List nomination in the very far future, so I am keen to make sure that any formatting and categorisation decisions we take now would not prevent a successful nomination.

Thanks and best wishes Mertbiol (talk) 12:17, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Murgatroyd49 and Mertbiol – thanks for this. I'm a bit pressed for time in the next few days, but will drop by at the sandbox and make suggestions as I see fit: I have some thoughts about effective list formats based on similar lists I've done in the past. I have the new Surrey Pevsner, so I can add refs from that where applicable. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 10:07, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yo Hassocks

Maybe check out User:MusikAnimal/confirmationRollback.js (I tested it, it works) or User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/ConfirmRollback.js for more detailed configuration. Polygnotus (talk) 10:08, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Polygnotus; I'll take a look at those in the next few days and install one. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 10:08, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
