Newton, Norfolk
[edit]Thank you - a really interesting read. I've done some work to the referencing to try and allow us to reuse references without having to spell them out in full each time. Take a look and see if I've done it right. I've tweaked the reference style a little: by all means change this if you hate that way of referencing. I wonder if the Barker book has an ISBN we could add? Blue Square Thing (talk) 17:48, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your comments and edits. I'm not really bothered about what format the references take - I know there are lots of different ways of doing them. I've checked the Barker book but they just published it themselves and it doesn't have an ISBN. Thanks for the nice comments about the article. I just felt a bit sorry for Newton, it is a bit neglected, even compared with other lost villages and towns. (Gardener123 (talk) 18:48, 17 January 2021 (UTC))
- Yes, quite. You encouraged me to get my copy of Alan Davison's book out - but it's not in there at all, which is a shame. Maybe the county border element. I've added some approximate coordinates which seem close enough - but may need to come south a little. What do you think? Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:42, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
I suppose Davison's book doesn't cover it because strictly speaking it is not a deserted village - it is lost (to the sea) rather than lost (abandoned). The only other reason I can think of is that it is in historic Suffolk not Norfolk. But this is what I mean - nothing much out there at all, so I had to pull the strands together a bit.

Refname
[edit]Hi - hope you don't mind me tinkering with your ref format at St Mary's. Using a ref name has a couple of advantages - first, it makes the references section less cluttered, since you don't get the same source being repeated multiple times; also, it will not appear in the 'named references' drop-down list in the 'Cite' tools, so each time you want to use it again, you can easily select it from the list. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 18:31, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi, it's helpful, thanks. I never quite remember to do it! But it always looks better when it is changed to that. Gardener123 (talk) 18:35, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

JW 1961 Talk 19:33, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Joseywales1961: Thank you. What a nice comment! You probably know the answer to this question - if you type in Brunswick Park, Camberwell, it goes to the Camberwell page. There isn't actually anything on the Camberwell page about Brunswick Park. I wasn't going to rush to put anything in, as there isn't anything about parks generally, apart from Camberwell Green, which is a bit different anyway because of the history. So I think it would be better to make Brunswick Park, Camberwell redirect to Brunswick Park, Southwark (the London parks are listed by London Borough, not parish / suburb). Do you know how to do that? Gardener123 (talk) 20:15, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Gardener123, I came here after noticing your article about the St Germans & Looe Railway, for which many thanks. I have edited Brunswick Park, Camberwell to point to Brunswick Park, Southwark for you - you can see the change I made here. DuncanHill (talk) 11:30, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

St Germans & Looe Railway
[edit]Wow, I'm surprised there are still British railway lines without articles on Wikipedia. Thanks for your work in creating St Germans & Looe Railway and the station articles. Its an unbuilt line I had never heard of before today. NemesisAT (talk) 20:45, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- @NemesisAT: Hi, thanks for that. I was amazed too. I suppose it is because it was never finished and brought into service, but there are plenty of articles about other unbuilt railways, and this is more interesting than most. There's very little written about it generally.
Redirects
[edit]Hi - just to let you know that I added a couple of redirects for your new page Anglican Board of Mission - Australia, so that you can use the former names as links and not have to pipe links to the article name in future. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:29, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Laterthanyouthink: Thank you!
Sandwich at Priest's Way
[edit]Hello Gardener123, thank you for your work on Priest's Way. I noticed that the image placement is in what is called a 'sandwich position' where two images squeeze the text between them. We usually try to avoid this (per MOS:SANDWICH). If you have the time, consider changing the page layout. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 22:15, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
[edit]Thank you for your recent articles, including Marcin Wicha, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here Hi, thanks for this. I've not really looked much at Talk pages before, but I think I understand what you are saying, and I've looked at some of the pages and I think I see what you are getting at! 09:11, 5 October 2021 (UTC) Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:11, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Message about Margery Kempe
[edit]Hi Gardener123, I have been asked by a friend, who would like to be involved with developing the Margery Kempe article, to contact you with this message:
- Greetings from Norwich and King's Lynn!
- I do hope you don't mind me contacting you but I'm assisting the Team Rector at St Margaret's, to build on Margery's legacy at King's Lynn Minster in addition to my own post-doctoral research on MK and wondered if I might be of any help to you with the Wiki page on MK?
- I spent last week in the BL working on Add MS 61823, the BMK, and, in addition to recently completing a 60+ page Bibliography on Margery herself, now have copies of the newspaper letters and articles from the 30's and 40's re the BMK, and am helping a colleague rewrite the BL catalogue entry on MK.
- With all best wishes and looking forward to hearing from you.
If you could reply to me, I can pass your reply on—I can also tell my friend how to become a Wikipedian! He will quite understand if you feel unable to help him. Thanks, Amitchell125 (talk) 12:26, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Amitchell125: Hello! Greetings to both of you in Norwich and King's Lynn. This sounds like very exciting research. Very happy to help - a few thoughts come to mind. First of all, material on Wikipedia is not supposed to be original research - but of course the newspaper letters and articles from the 30s and 40s when the BMK was (re-)discovered are not original research, and can certainly be used as source material for Wikipedia articles. The BL catalogue entry will be useful once it has been edited. Second point is that it is easy enough to become a wikipedian - you set up an account at the top of the wikipedia page. Third point (related slightly to the previous one) is that, amazingly, the Margery Kempe page has been a bit contentious in terms of some of the edits - look at the Talk page for the article plus also View History. I mean, she seems uncontroversial to me (and I am really not bothered about whether she was a Lollard or not, or any of the other controversies!), and I just think it is delightful to have an insight into late mediaeval spirituality, especially lay and female, plus also someone for Norfolk to be proud of, but that does not seem to be a universal view. So I would suggest that your friend start as a Wikipedian with making some edits to some less controversial pages, eg local church buildings etc, or King's Lynn itself, as the MK page is probably not one I would recommend for someone very new to it. I haven't done too much to the MK page - mostly on Richard Caister, which just seemed to me to be a bit of an omission from it. Does this help? Will the Bibliography be published? Will you include in it copies or extracts etc of some of those articles? Happy to email directly, that might be easier. Gardener123 (talk) 18:07, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Mark Hyatt moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Mark Hyatt, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 TT me 10:41, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
