Medical appliances (?), early/mid-20th C.

Indeed, your response is helpful and in line with my provisional solution. It will be interesting to see if anyone succeeds in identifying any of those large metal (?) contraptions that I take to be braces of some sort. Actually, I deliberated for some time whether to post the link to that photo, but figured if it's O.K. for the Auschwitz museum to put such items on display, it's not taboo for me to discuss the photo. Heaven knows I've seen much worse at my workplace! -- Thanks, Deborahjay (talk) 15:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I happened to reference this page [1] which was last edited by you and I would like to share two things. I have a feeling that the picture of the plant is upside-down from the angle of the flower and the leaves in the background. Secondly I would not like to tread in your garden in case I am wrong. Having said that I do not have the skill to change the picture anyway. Please excuse me if this is nothing to do with you. Richard Avery (talk) 17:59, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Statue linking

Hello, I noticed via my watchlist that you'd added a link in the Berhtwald article, like this:

He has a commemorative statue in niche 187 of the west front of Salisbury Cathedral.

I thought this linking would work better like this, and changed it accordingly:

He has a commemorative statue in niche 187 of the west front of Salisbury Cathedral.

Then I thought I ought point it out to you, as I saw that you've added a number of similar links elsewhere, and you may not agree with my change, or you might have a better idea. Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 14:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Glad you're happy with it, but sorry if it adds to your workload! BTW, it's occurred to me that a better format might be:

He has a commemorative statue on the west front of Salisbury Cathedral, in niche 187.

But I'll leave that to you - and, I promise I'll stop thinking about it! :-) Nortonius (talk) 14:41, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

South Newton

Thankyou for creating and developing the South Newton, Wiltshire article. Wikipedia's coverage of Wiltshire parishes seems rather sparse, so I'm glad that someone is conscientiously filling in some of the gaps.

I apologise for editing the article in a way that may look heavy-handed. WP has different ways of formatting citations so I've applied what I hope are tidier methods of doing so. The British History Online webpage about South Newton is a transcription of the parish's section in the Victoria County History, so I suggest that it is appropriate to detail the VCH as the actual source. The Online Parish Clerks webpage about South Newton seems to be drawn largely from the VCH, so you may wish to omit the intermediary and cite that material directly from the VCH as well.

I don't think the WP:NOTADVERTISING policy completely precludes external links to commercial websites, but my understanding is that such links need to be justified to verify encyclopaedic content. For example, the VCH records that South Newton has had two pubs: The Plough early in the 18th century followed by The Bell Inn which had opened by 1759. Therefore a weblink to The Bell Inn's website seems justified to help to verify that this historic pub is still trading 250 years later.

I suppose similar arguments could be advanced for the websites of more recent businesses, but fellow-editors might question the extent to which recording ordinary local businesses is encyclopaedic. There is also the WP:NOTDIRECTORY policy to be respected. For both reasons I've deleted the other commercial links to be on the safe side.

Thankyou once again for creating the article. If you have any more about South Newton to add, I look forward to reading it!

Best wishes, Motacilla (talk) 15:53, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for your message on my talk page. I think you're doing absolutely fine.

I've now added more details of St Andrew's parish church bells, using the online version of Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers. Dove's is a very detailed reference source for current bells at any parish church that has three or more.

Dove's has a limitation in that if bells have been recast or replaced, it gives no details of what bells are no longer there. However, in some cases the VCH does. For example, quite a few parishes had bells recast for the Millennium but most VCH volumes predate the recasting.

I've also created the talk page for South Newton, on which I've included a photo request template. If you happen to have a few good photo's of the village, and especially of St Andrew's, please will you upload some to Wikimedia and add them to the article? In case not, the photo request will be a signal to other editors who may be able to do so.

Thankyou once again for getting South Newton started. If you fancy creating or expanding articles for any other villages, Wiltshire has lots more that need doing!

Best wishes, Motacilla (talk) 22:44, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Church bells

I'm glad you like the Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers website. For any church that Dove lists there are two webpages worth checking. The first is the individual webpage for that tower, which lists all of its current bells, names their founders and, as far as is known, gives the date of casting. The second is a long index page listing all known past and present bell-founders in the country. This gives the location of each bell-founder and the dates between which they were active.

There are Wikipedia articles on England's two surviving bell foundries: Whitechapel Bell Foundry and John Taylor & Co of Loughborough. Dove often lists bells from Whitechapel under the name of their master bell founder rather than that of Whitechapel. Whitechapel surnames include Pack, Chapman, Mears and Stainbank.

From the Middle Ages there were dozens of local bell foundries around the country, but in the 18th and 19th centuries all but a handful closed down. I imagine the growing networks of first canals and then railways enabled foundries in strategic positions on those networks to compete for business over a wider area.

There is a shortage of Wikipedia articles about defunct foundries. Foundries in Wiltshire included ones at Aldbourne, Salisbury and Warminster. I haven't done any work on the Salisbury or Warminster ones yet, but the Aldbourne article has a section on its local foundry.

I expanded Aldbourne's bell-foundry section by adding a list of its master bell-founders, most of whom were members of the Cor or Wells families. When I find an Aldbourne bell in a parish I give it a piped link to the Aldbourne foundry like this: Aldbourne#Bell-foundry. In due course the foundry could do with its own article, and the Salisbury and Warminster foundries need fuller accounts too.

Have fun!

Please don't edit others' posts

Hi. It's generally bad practice to edit others' posts on talk pages or talk-like pages (such as the Reference Desk). Even seemingly innocuous edits can inadvertently change the meaning. Take your recent edit [2]. The poster was answering a request for a non-alcoholic beverage by referring to Adam's ale (water). Although I'm sure you genuinely meant to be helpful, by piping their red link to beer, you completely changed the meaning, confusing others and annoying the original poster [3]. (Other such examples can be found in the RefDesk talk page archives.) A better way of handling it is to make your own post, mentioning the error or suggesting the correction (e.g. "By Adam's Ale, do you mean beer?"). Take care. -- 174.21.229.4 (talk) 23:41, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do you have against mussels?

Don't bite the newbies, even if they're corporate newbies. This edit was needlessly mean-spirited. (And you forgot to sign your sarcastic post.) They were offering to contribute content that probably would be appropriate for Wikipedia, and they weren't engaged in spamming or any other destructive behavior. They made no attempt to conceal their identity or interests. They didn't touch an article; they just asked how they could contribute to the project.

Their only mistake was that they didn't know that companies and organizations aren't allowed to create group or role accounts in the company's name. This isn't mentioned in the brief instructions on the page that comes up when one creates a new account, and we can hardly expect every new editor to read all of Wikipedia's policies before they get started. For that error, they earn your contempt. Not too classy. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 13:05, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing the right thing. Looking back at my comment, I owe you a bit of an apology as well; I think the tone of my remarks was a bit sharper than it needed to be. All's well that ends well, Cheers! TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:13, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Signs and symptoms

You've made the same changes on a number of pages, and I get the impression that this needs clarification. A symptom is something experienced by a person and reported verbally to his/her doctor. A sign is something observed by the doctor while examining the patient. On most pages, the use of both terms was correct. It might be an idea to clarify this on WP:MEDMOS, the medical style guide.

List of schools in Wiltshire

I have no problem with your addition of schools to List of schools in Wiltshire, not even when you use links to disambiguation pages (solved now). But I have serious problems with linkspam and I am removing all those irrelevant websites. The Banner talk 11:21, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I don't disagree with you. I was following previous editors and I wondered about it. Some links had been there a while with no objections. I'd have been happy to clear them my self - but hey, if you have nothing better to do go ahead. Best to you Richard Avery (talk) 12:15, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

About your comment on my question "How do you set up an office at a new location?"

I saw your comment on the question I posted on the Miscellaneous Reference Desk. The question was wordy because I wanted to provide enough context, to tell the potential respondents what I'd already considered and what I was still unsure of or still didn't know. That was done to avoid having good-intentioned respondents answering the wrong question and thereby wasting their time. A question's wordiness doesn't make the poster a "troll." Many questions I've seen from supposed "trolls" were actually very short. What made them problematic was not wordiness, but that they seemed to be intended to trigger a lot of unproductive discussion, and that there seemed to be no serious, helpful answers that could be offered. I invite you to re-read my question in that light, look past the wordiness, and see if you still think that it looks like an exercise in trolling. --173.49.17.60 (talk) 16:39, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You have been mentioned in relation to http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Timothyhere#16_October_2015. μηδείς (talk) 03:11, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thank you. He thought I had insulted him? Maybe he is not as Spanish as he pretends. Best Richard Avery (talk) 06:26, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I speak fluent Spanish, and it is obvious to me that he does not, regardless of his user name. It might help if you reiterate at the SPI report linked above that a check user should be performed. I do not quite claim to understand the CU mentality, but i assume that since this guy typically has dozens of zombies pending, a chec user report might help. In any case, per me an per Jayron's comments, assuming unwarranted good faith is a waist of time. μηδείς (talk) 06:50, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Respect for your brilliant diplomacy

Hi. I'm no expert on Wikipedia, so I don't know how to award barnstars and other awards, but your response on the refdesk to Baseball bugs' accusations that you had made a personal attack on Medeis in the question on growing Ginkgo tress for human consumption is CLASSIC! I honestly found it HILLARIOUS! The way you re-phrased your response to @Medeis was BRILLIANT! As I wrote in small, it fits the finest traditions of diplomacy. Is there any "diplomat's barnstar" I can award you? Eliyohub (talk) 17:26, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notifications

I was wondering if you have notifications set? William Avery (talk) 13:51, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here's your well-deserved Barnstar!

	The Barnstar of Diplomacy
	Regarding your brilliant re-phrasing of a suggestion that another editor was mistaken, to avoid causing any personal offence, or appearance of a personal attack. I suggest including it on your Resumé should you ever be minded to apply for a position in Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service. Eliyohub (talk) 13:46, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I am humbled. Richard Avery (talk) 15:03, 6 February 2017 (UTC)}[reply]

Laverstock Ford

I have looked at the Wiltshire History page for Laverstock History which is also copied by the Parish website itself. There are errors. I have edited and updated that history. Are you willing to overview what I have prepared prior to it being passed to the Parish Council and to Wiltshire History as a replacement? There might then be amendments to the Laverstock wiki page too. ? Are you local to Laverstock. This has got mis-placed and I can't fix it. nojoking

Thanks for your note. I do very little stuff on Wikipedia these days (Undine (medical) apart). I have no proprietorial feelings towards Laverstock, it stopped being mine the day I published the first page. You might like to try user Wire723 who is a little more active and more authoritative then me. Best, Richard Avery (talk) 10:00, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
