Talk:Brighouse

Hi Storye Book, I don't quite understand why the Brighouse article is showing in the Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in West Yorkshire, as the {{reqphoto|in=West Yorkshire}} template is nowhere to be seen on the talkpage, unless my poor old eyes have a blindspot! Richard Harvey (talk) 08:04, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Update: found & corrected the problem. It was hidden in the geo template! Richard Harvey (talk) 08:42, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Replied to your message on my talkpage. Richard Harvey (talk) 15:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
And again! :) Richard Harvey (talk) 21:40, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Ditto! :) Richard Harvey (talk) 23:42, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up. I've replied on my talkpage as usual. Richard Harvey (talk) 16:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm not actually living in Ottawa at the moment, but I do know a number of people who live in Nepean, including one who used to live in Parkwood Hills itself. I've mentionned the article, and hopefully they'll have some good material to add. -M.Nelson (talk) 23:17, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Bradford City Hall

Hi there. I notice you're on with an article on Bradford City Hall. Let me know if the article needs any images - I know the Council's web editor, so can probably get some pix of the interior for you. Do you intend to include information on the building having been a courthouse, and still having one of the courtrooms set up - it's appeared in quite a number of films and tv series.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I've got a nice little book on the history of the building (or rather 2 buildings). I bet I can coax some sourced info out of the town hall press office as well - there's been all sorts of stuff filmed in the building. Do keep editing it yourself though as well don't let me interrupt you.

Hi, just got to this article working through changes that happened while I was away and wondered if you had considered a nomination for Did You Know as it is newly created? You can add a nomination here. Keith D (talk) 23:42, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Bramhope Tunnel

It is a pleasure to pop open a new article like your Bramhope Tunnel and discover that it is already a nice bit of work. Well done - Williamborg (Bill) 19:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

You're most welcome since the compliments were well earned. Your approach of using sandbox to develop the article obviously allows you to polish them nicely. Cheers - Williamborg (Bill) 19:45, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Church Army Chapel, Blackheath

Hello! Your submission of Church Army Chapel, Blackheath at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Orlady (talk) 21:38, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry you missed the chance to get that article into DYK, as it was an interesting nomination. See this diff for a copy of the nomination that got removed from the DYK noms page. The main issue was with the use of nonpublished sources (such as "information from architect") for the main points in the article. --Orlady (talk) 18:17, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
To link to a Commons category from a Wikipedia article, use the template {{Commonscat|CATEGORYNAME}}, where CATEGORYNAME is the name of the Commons category. {{Commonscat|National Register of Historic Places}} points to the Commons category called "Category:National Register of Historic Places". --Orlady (talk) 18:40, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
I started a Commons category for you. See http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Church_Army_Chapel,_Blackheath . Now all you need to do is add that category to your other images, and link to it from the article. --Orlady (talk) 20:05, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

What you are talking about is a fair use rationale, and you do explain that to some extent. Fair use does not need permission from the copyright holder, although permission could be used to justify a better quality image. The question is whether this historic photo is really a fair use. I will take off your hangon tags and see if some one else thinks the fiar use is invalid. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

E.T. Spashett's architectural work

Thanks for your email.

Which houses on the South side of Arwenack Avenue, Falmouth are you particularly interested in, please?

According to the plan at Cornwall Council interactive map the number in of South side runs from 6 to 28, 28 being at the South East end.

BTW, the St Ives Guildhall is now in the ownership of the Cornwall Council, a new Unitary Authority. The ground floor houses a "one stop shop" and a tourist information office. Vernon White . . . Talk 18:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Vernon, very kind of you to agree to do this. I'm looking for what was originally called the Arwenack Estate of High Class Houses. Falmouth planning dept seems sure that the south side of this road is the estate. Looking at Google Earth, it is surely the row of very similar houses as shown in your photo on the left hand side. The ones with the hipped roofs and the bay windows with (originally) little panes.
I would not include no. 28, which has a reddish-coloured roof while the others are pale grey. So I would include the grey-roofed ones on the south side of the road from 26 going north-west until I ran out of similar-looking houses.
It's tempting to wonder whether there is more Arwenack estate than just that row. On Google Earth there appear to be more houses with similar-coloured roofs in the area to the south-west and west of Arwenack Avenue - as far west as Trelawney Avenue, maybe. My source is a list of buildings that the architect wanted to be remembered for, written in his own hand shortly before he died. He called it an estate (not a row), and so did all his siblings, when they were alive. It would be interesting if you happened to notice whether those in the backstreets look more or less the same. If so, it would be very helpful if you could upload a pic of some of those too.
I would be really pleased if you could find some with original windows (i.e. not plastic) so that we can see what the original design was like. Your current photo shows only one with plastic windows, but that was two years ago.
The architect designed these as an architectural apprentice attached to Cowett Drewett and Wheatly of Penzance, aged 16-18, probably because everyone else was at war. I think he may have started his apprenticeship at age 14. Thanks for your help and I look forward to the photos.--Storye book (talk) 19:47, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't have very much information about the size and shape of the Arwenack estate, other than the Manor was owned by the Killigrew family from Henry VIII's time, and later, the Wodehouse family. I'll have a look for similar houses nearby, when I get time. There is a Falmouth Local History Group, which is part of the [[Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society], 24 Church Street, Falmouth, Cornwall, TR11 3EG. Vernon White . . . Talk 20:30, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
I have put some photos of houses on the South West side of Arwenack Street, Falmouth on Flickr www.flickr.com. Search on <Arwenack>. I have started an article on WP at User:Vernon39/Arwenack, which you are most welcome to edit. Vernon White . . . Talk 15:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
You said: "I would not include no. 28, which has a reddish-coloured roof while the others are pale grey. So I would include the grey-roofed ones on the south side of the road from 26 going north-west until I ran out of similar-looking houses." The one with the red roof is No.2 Grove Hill Crescent. The numbers run (uphill) from 28 to 7, consecutively. 1-6 are on the other side of the road, the remaining buildings being named, not numbered. Vernon White . . . Talk 15:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
You are welcome to use the photos of houses in Arwenack Avenue that I put on Flickr. In Church Army Chapel, Blackheath, would you be happy for me to change the subheading "Architect" to "Architect: E.T. Spashett", so that I can link it from the Arwenack article?

A Thankyou

Hello... I just wanted to offer my sincere thanks for the words of encouragement that you left on my talk page. As a new user, your post meant a lot to me and I really appreciate what you said. I also understand the policy clarification and will do my very best to adopt the rules of wikipedia; it's a great cause. I look forward to contributing further content in the near future. The Bramhope Tunnel page is looking great after your efforts - it's a site which is worthy of a good wiki article ;-) Keep up the good work, and thanks again! --TJBlackwell (talk) 15:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

  • Cheers TJ. Actually I'd been thinking of starting an article on Brunswick Tunnel. The pictures are missing from that link now however there are some here so there are two references to link to as evidence. But at the moment I'm held up with another job. I'm no expert on trains and tunnels so if you feel like starting the page, let me know and I could weigh in and do just those bits of tidying which prevent new pages from being tagged and deleted. Don't know if you've started new articles yet - but the main tactic to avoid deletion is to have an intro that says "Brunswick Tunnel is a so-and-so and it is notable for so-and-so". We don't have pictures for the article, but we could get a photo of that plaque in Harrogate near Trinity church, and of the island in the road in Harrogate where the tunnel-end is underneath. There is more information here. But no pressure - just thought it might interest you. If nothing else it's a good read. Cheers.--Storye book (talk) 16:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Church Army Chapel pews 1965.jpg

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Church Army Chapel pews 1965.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 14:16, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
