Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something silly.

Appreciated, Martin. But I wouldn't say it's unsupported. Others, including Dianna, The 4lines, Moneytrees, Tony and yourself, have put a lot of of effort in. I think it's just that, being jubilado (! - I'm learning), I have rather more time. And tomorrow, Mr Pickford should be arriving with all my books, so, if needed, we can help Murgatroyd with A la Ronde. That, and the remaining two sections will knock off Part 1, and with 4/5/6 already done, the end will be in sight! If still rather a ways off.......!

Tryptofish - Great to hear from you. It is actually going pretty well. There are many challenges in relocating to an area where you don’t speak the language with any fluency - but there are many compensations. The city is truly beautiful, the weather is fabulous, and the tapas and wine are close to unbeatable. Now, we just need to sort the pets, the house, the wifi, the doctor, the dentist, the padron…. I really hope your own personal issues are resolving themselves.

Hello hello! Believe me, I'm tired of Montacute House – I don't think anyone arrives at a talk page to discuss fairly minor (to my mind) changes and still be there weeks later, but that's the nature of the Wiki sometimes.

On a lighter note, how are things with you? Are there any Burges-related articles left to bring up to standard, or have you finished for the moment? Personally I'm taking a bit of a break after doing Dolwyddelan and Criccieth castles, but I'm sure I'll find a project soon – I did think about bringing Penarth Fawr up to GA, it's not all that far off in its current state.

Yes, I can see the point of view that says leave them as a tribute. Although, I think that's more common for deceased editors, and Rexxs is, very fortunately, not among that choir. Just an editor who decided there were other uses for their time. I'll see what other views may emerge. Very happy to leave as is, subject to occasional weeding, if that's the consensus view.

Hi,

Sorry for using your talk page, but I couldn't think of a better way to access you. You have shown an interest in British (Country House) Architectural History. I have suggested that Wikipedians gain access to the Country Life Archive on The Wikipedia Library (https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/suggest/). Please feel free to support this suggestion (titled "Country Life Archive (Proquest)" on the above page) if you think this is a good idea.

Feel free to @ me here with any questions.

Apologies for being a few days late, but I've only just noticed your efforts at the Monmouthshire article. Well done for attempting it! I will try to pick up any minor changes as you go. I have various offline sources (aka books), including one published by the County Council in 1974, Monmouthshire County Council 1888-1974, which may well have material that can be used (it's a very long time since I looked at it!).

Ghmyrtle - No apology necessary, and great to hear from you. I stumbled into it only because I want to do a small article on the Gwent County History, and then realised there was quite a lot of work needed. It's going to be a long job - partly because it's a big topic; partly because all my books, including the Gwent County History, are still in store following a move. There's a least one issue - and likely more - that's going to need a bit of wider discussion: what to cover in Monmouthshire, and what to cover in Monmouthshire (historic), including the Wales/England status issue? And the tricky issue of the western 2/5ths of the county which were in Monmouthshire (historic) but aren't in the present county, although they were in Gwent (county) (1972-1996). This is important for things like mining in Monmouthshire, a big deal in the 18th-20th centuries, much less so for modern Monmouthshire. Anyways, all that can be kicked around on the talkpage. I'd really appreciate any help you can give. I'm not editing that intensively, so feel free to add/amend/take-away anything you want at any stage. All the best.

Hi, I'm not going to go to the stake over this. My next edit on this point will be my last so you have final say. However, Turkish baths is a phrase used both in the singular and plural (check the 'literature'). Whether 'Turkish baths' or 'a Turkish bath' is used the phrase is either a place (housing several rooms with different purposes) or a process (involving several actions). The same applies to a Hammam. So my final compromise edit, since you prefer not to use the plural form, is to remove the word 'suite' which is tautological since '(a) Turkish Bath' or 'Turkish baths' are both by definition, a suite of rooms, or areas—in Cragside's case, five. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishpoloni (talk • contribs) 23:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240325230300","author":"Ishpoloni","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ishpoloni-20240325230300-Victorian_Turkish_bath","replies":["c-KJP1-20240326060100-Ishpoloni-20240325230300"]}}-->

Ishpoloni - I agree the issue is minor. I've removed the image, only because it's not a very good one (hands/oblique view/sketch), but if you have one of the bath itself we could certainly put it in. Aside from that, I've left the wording as per your latest edit. My remaining concern is that it seems unnecessary to me to describe it as a Victorian bath, the whole house is Victorian being built entirely in the reign of QV, but I understand that you are wanting to emphasise the type, more than the date. Just by way of a learning point for us both; per Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, we would have been better to have had this discussion on the article's TalkpageR after the first reversion.

Thank you for your understanding. The use of Victorian does appear a bit pedantic, I know. However, it's not being used—here or elsewhere on wiki—to qualify the bath, but to qualify the word Turkish. Two points, in a nutshell: 1. The Victorian Turkish is a specific type of hot-air bath utilising only dry air, rather than a bath specific to Turkey; 'Turkish bath' is a catch-all phrase which is now used for almost anything from a steam bath to a gay sauna; 2. Actually more important, the Islamic world generally resents things such as the Turkish bath being considered specifically Turkish rather than an intrinsic part of Islamic culture. This is all set out rather more clearly in the posts by R Prazeres and myself in the section 'Name and meaning' on the Hammam talk page in September 2020, preceding the split two years later of the "Turkish baths" article into "Hammam" and "Victorian Turkish baths".

I'm not at all unhappy that you removed the image! I wasn't sure whether I could send it to you on the talk page first. It is bad a bad image, and I wasn't familiar with my wife's camera. I do have better ones of the "wardrobe", the drench shower, the tiled plunge, and a corner of the hot room. Is there any way I can show them to you—without putting them all on Commons—so you could choose one, if you wish?

Ishpoloni - Not an issue at all. I was too grumpy, and probably 70 per cent to blame - if not more! One tries to avoid being too protective of articles one has taken to FA but it can be hard. I love hearing from other editors with an interest, and should have been more welcoming. I think the addition of an image of the bath would be very useful, but I don't believe I could see them without their going on Commons, unless you already have them on the web somewhere. Then you could do this. While we're chatting, you don't happen to know the "other bath" Mr Shifrin refers to, see Talk:Cragside? That may make a good footnote, following the text about it being unusual for a private house. All the very best.

Further to your note re Malcolm Shifrin's use of 'suite'. Yes, embarrassing. I was hoping you wouldn't notice!

Ishpoloni - I suspected that might be the case, but didn't want to engage in outing! The Victorian Turkish baths article is excellent - I've added a Talkpage header and given it a C quality rating. I could as easily have chosen B. Please add/remove any projects you think are aligned/inappropriate. The book looks similarly fascinating, and a copy will soon be added to my library. You might think about taking the article further - it has Good Article written all over it. If I can assist in any way, just let me know.

Had second thoughts on the images as I will probably use some when I come to the subsection in the article "VTb in private houses". So I've uploaded 4 images (+ 1 accidentally cropped version, by mistake, which I don't know how to delete and suspect I won't be allowed to). They are now on Commons at "Cragside Turkish baths".

Yes I have, and yes it's damn difficult to get close to! It's Grade I so you'd think it would be an easy FA but there's not much depth to any of the coverage; I have a pile of books and they all have the same three or four sentences! Might have to pad it out a bit with some background on the Liverpool & Manchester. Some of the other engineering works on that line definitely have FA potential.

Hello! Now that the some normality has returned after the whole Montacute thing I just thought I'd pop by and see how you were doing. Are you working on anything interesting at the moment?

I was also wondering, after your comment over at the Pevsners article, just how big your collection is – my own is quite modest and entirely composed of the more recent editions, so I'm a little envious of anyone who's managed to amass a more complete set! They do come in handy – I'm in the middle of giving Gibside a bit of an overhaul and the National Trust guidebook is one of those fairly slim modern ones, so having a copy of County Durham to hand has proved invaluable.

Anyway, I hope you're enjoying your weekend.

A.D.Hope - Thanks for dropping by. I’m well thanks, and hope you are too. Not really got anything major on the go at present. Have been doing some bits on Monmouthshire, which still needs work. My problem, and it’s not really a problem, is that all my books are packed up following a move, and it will be a while before I have them back on shelves and readily available. Which includes my set of Pevsner. I was lucky enough to start pulling them together many moons ago, and have both the originals and the reviseds, with the exception of the recently published Isle of Man. The revised were about half the current price then, and the originals could be got for very little. Now, at £60 a pop, it would be an expensive business to pull a full set together. But they are absolutely superb - how I wrote Andrew Pettigrew without access to the, late lamented, John Newman, I shall never know. Gibside is a very interesting garden, and I look forward to reading the results. All the very best.

A silver lining is that even behavior this like will bring some attention to the article in question, so it tends to get some "collateral" improvement.

@Tryptofish - his continual punning on the word "ass" is much discussed in academic journals.

Per Trypto's edit summary I now want to mention this: The name Shakespeare probably indicates "someone to be respected/not trifled with", imagine a soldier or farmer jabbing his spear at you. However, one can, and funny-man Shakespeare likely knew this (taunts in school, perhaps?), read it as man waving his cod-dangle around in public. Or perhaps being the literal wanker. Could he have seen his coat of arms as, among other things, a good joke? If you haven't seen my Shakespeare and Star Trek article, you might enjoy it.

There's a lot more information about the history here, for instance. Would it help if I translated it into English? https://cylchgronau.llyfrgell.cymru/view/1380216/1382797/141#?xywh=-922%2C812%2C4611%2C2282

By the way, in my opinion the grid reference is useful, as it is more accessible than the latitude and longitude, and in particular in this article it serves to differentiate it from the new building (now the school).

Ehrenkater - If you had time to undertake the translation, that would be extremely helpful. Then, either add the additional information yourself, or paste it on the Talkpage, and I'll add it. Given the estate's very long history, I'm quite sure a great deal could be added. I get your point about the grid reference, and indeed edit conflicted with you when I was trying to add Three Cocks as the closest village, though you're right that Felindre is closer to Old Gwernyfed!

OK, will put it in the talk page. It would prob need quite a lot more work on it before it could be added to the article.

Edward Jocob Philip Smith - a few things:

• Any editor can remove items from their own Talkpage. I did so with your message as I did not intend to reply to it. You did so on your Talkpage with my message reminding you of the WP:Checkuser function;
• Editors should not generally remove messages from other editors' Talkpages. You have done this here,[11] and you have done it here, User talk:212.250.203.150, without any explanation.[12] Why did you remove posts from the Talkpage of IP 212.250.203.150?
• That IP also posted a fake message on my Talkpage,[13] purporting to be from User:Kuru - which it wasn't - and which was helpfully removed by User:RegentsPark. Do you know why that IP posted the fake message on my page immediately after you posted?
• That IP also has an obsession with the placement of the "Sir" prefix, [14]. You have the same obsession, [15]. Would you like to explain the similarity?
• In my 17 years on here I've never asked another editor not to post on my page. As a general rule, I think discussion between editors is to be encouraged.

Hola! Hope you're well! It was all going so well, buildings wise, until this chap took over as the Met's surveyor in 1947. A sign of the times, perhaps, but he was responsible for so many of the brutalist, not to mention, forgettable, stations we still see dotted around London. The seventh to hold the surveyorship, and, for me, where it all started to go wrong (although his building in Park Lane, Croydon, was perhaps his best). I was thinking of your Essex surveyors work (Stock, Hopper, et al...) - was there a category for them?

And very good to see you back! (A pleasant change from my recent stalker.) No, his works lack a certain something... like any attempt at charm, elegance, harmony or even style. As to categories, you mean something like "Essex County surveyors". No, I'm not aware of such. It would seem to me that, for this chap and others, you could legitimately create a Metropolitan Police surveyors cat. You've got Butler, Trench, this chap - were any of the others notable?

Good grief, sorry to hear that. The internet is full of them, sadly. Thank you, although my time here is rather limited, unfortunately; I have a stack of things I'd like to get done, but just can't find the time. All of the Met's architects, up until Elliott, seem to have been notable. Fortunately, Pevsner lists them in London 5: East, which is a big help. The first was Reeves, followed briefly by Sorby, who later invented the Skylight); then there was a chap called Frederick Caiger (no WP article); the Butlers (father and son) succeeded, separately, with the latter needing no introduction. The oldest buildings the Met still own are ones attributable to Butler Snr; Peckham and Coldharbour. Trench, with his preference for moderne/art deco, I would say, was the last notable architect; it was his design of the police telephone box that led to a certain doctor's Tardis. I have no idea how to create a cat, but it would be a good place to keep a record on them.

So, I've created a Cat, Metropolitan Police Surveyors, as a sub-cat of British Architects. It seems a legit sub-cat to me. It's a distinct office, and four holders are sufficiently notable to have their own articles. It raises an interesting question around County Surveyors. I don't know enough about the role, but I suspect it was common in Victorian England. And there are certainly some notable officeholders. I'll have a look.

Apologies for not replying for so long but I just spotted your message from last September (following up on your recent experience with a sockpuppeteer who has also gone after me which I did not realise until now...)

I had a look through British Newspaper Archive. Temple married the sister of Lady Bosanquet which made the owner of the house his brother-in-law (at least it's what I think I gleaned). He stayed there in January 1932 and preached at the parish church; he also stayed there in January 1934 (and preached at the local church), and in January 1941.

HJ Mitchell, Richard Nevell - After a long intermission, the books are, mostly, unpacked. So:

• Knepp Castle - "the ruin of Knepp Castle. On a natural mound surrounded by a ditch and rampart, a single piece of walling 30ft high, apparently the north end of the west wall of a tower or keep with a round-headed doorway and a door or window above it. Built by the de Braoses in connection with a hunting park first mentioned in 1154 but possibly used as a refuge as well. Repaired in the 13th and 14th centuries ahead of royal visits, it has a chapel (1227), hall, chamber, services and stables (1324), and gateway (1507). In its present condition by 1720." {sfn|Williamson|Hudson|Musson|Nairn|2019|p=700}
• Wharncliffe Viaduct - "1835-8 by Brunel, to carry the G.W.R over the Brent Valley. Doubled in width in 1877. An impressive stretch of eight elliptical brick arches of 21-m span and 5.3-m rise, on stocky brick piers in the Egyptian style. The capitals and corniche are in finely-dressed sandstone; at the centre the arms of Lord Wharncliffe. Few viaducts have such architectural panache. This was Brunel's first major structure; he used the elliptical form for several other bridges on the line, notably at Maidenhead across the Thames." {sfn|Cherry|Pevsner|2002|p=185}
• Southend-on-Sea War Memorial - already done.
• Wolverton Viaduct - "of 1838, designed by Robert Stephenson, chief engineer to the London and Birmingham Railway. The viaduct is a 1.5 m. embankment across the Ouse Valley. 48 ft high, the highest on the LBR. Near the centre, six elliptical brick arches with pilasters and two narrower arches each end. Characteristic of Stephenson, the heavy stone cornice. Widened on the east side in 1878-82". {sfn|Pevsner|Williamson|2003|p=565}
• High Bridge, Lincoln - Lincolnshire's the only volume I've not yet been able to locate. It'll be in a still-packed box. When I find it, I'll let you know what it says. Now located: "medieval, but much restored. On the east side a projection carried a medieval chapel of St Thomas Becket, demolished in 1762 and replaced by an obelisk which has also gone. The west side - and this is unique in England - still carries a row of 16th century shops and houses (largely dismantled and re-erected in 1900-1 under the supervision of William Watkins). Timber-framed. Two overhangs. All windows project like oriels. Original angle-brackets with demi-figures of angels. At the back, visible from along the footpaths and and right of the Witham, stone base and bridge-arch. The timberwork here is roughcast. Two symmetrical plain oriels on brackets. Only the top floor has the timberwork exposed." {sfn|Antram|Pevsner|Harris|2002|p=523}

10mmsocket - But whilst you're here, I'm afraid I'm shameless! I am now interested in a building called Winscombe Hall, or The Hall, Winscombe. It looks like this, [16]. And its grid reference is ST 41818 56075. It appears to be about 6 miles from Draycott. It was built for the Rev. Yatman, the original designer being William Railton, of Nelson's Column fame. Then Yatman hauled in Burges, who spent over a decade re-modelling and extending. Unfortunately, Commons has nothing, and nor does Geograph. This may mean that it's not viewable from the public highway. In the event you are anywhere near at any point, and have the slightest inclination!, I would appreciate a few shots.

p.p.s Fascinatingly, this article, [17], talks of a Stone Memorial, designed by Burges for the matriarch of the Yatman clan, Ellen. The article describes the memorial as "mounted prominently in the grounds of Winscombe Hall." Now, that would be an image!

Thought of you the other day. I took a little Lutyens pilgrimage to Busbridge. Saw the war memorial (the photos we have don't do it justice) and the Jekyll family grave. The Mclaren headboard is no longer there and has been replaced with a standard CWGC grave marker (according to a local, it was moved to the family home in Montrose due to its deteriorating condition); not sure there's a reliable source for that yet. Munstead Wood was closed and you can't see much from the street. But I got some better photos of the war memorial and these things are always easier to write about when you've seen them in the flesh, at least in my experience.

Amazon helpfully (well, not for my bank balance!) tells me there a couple of new books on Ned. Might have to acquire those seeing as I own just about everything else printed about him.

Any chance you could consult the Pevsner for Surrey and see what he has to say about Busbridge? Probably quite a bit considering the Lutyens-Jekyll connection but he's hit and miss on things like war memorials. There might be some useful background in there though.

Thanks for the ping, Harry. Apologies for the delayed response. Sad to hear that the McLaren headboard was removed (surely restoration or preservation/conservation in situ would have been possible?). It would be nice to have photos of both the replacement CWGC marker and the headboard in its new location. Ideally, you would leave a heritage information board somewhere in the church about the past history, including photos of the original appearance and the layout intended by Lutyens at the time. Hmm.

Busbridge was a delightful day out. My main memory of the place was the gorgeous stained glass WWI memorial windows, which are in Commons:Category:St John the Baptist's church, Busbridge (stained glass), and its three subcategories (for Tisdall, Barnes and Whatley), and the WWI book of remembrance (and other memorials) in the church, including the name panels.

As for Busbridge War Memorial, picking the right time of day (and year) to get the right interplay of light and shadow seems to be necessary. Maybe a black-and-white shot in snow (I am semi-serious here), or a historical image (if this can be freely sourced) would help. It is interesting they got Monro to unveil it - do we know if Lutyens attended? There has been some commentary: "A sensitive understanding of the architectural power of remembrance is apparent in Monro's addresses at the unveiling of war memorials at Banstead (5 June 1921), Busbridge (23 July 1922) and Streatham (14 October 1922)." (In the Shadow of the Great War: Surrey, 1914-1922, 2019) - cannot tell which chapter that is from, unfortunately. It should be possible to find what Monro said from local news reports.

@Carcharoth no apology necessary. Glad you're still around and interested! I have a photo of the CWGC stone but Montrose is a bit far for a day trip! I'm on the south coast these days so Busbridge wasn't too much of a trek. I agree it's a shame but apparently it was in very poor condition; an information board is an excellent idea. You're right, it's a pretty village.

Knowing Lutyens, I wonder if November, around Armistice Day/Remembrance Sunday, would be the best time to catch the war memorial? I struggled to get a front-on shot that didn't have glare or shadow. I haven't seen anything that suggests Lutyens attended; I'd have expected him to mention it in one of his letters but secondary coverage is sparse for the smaller war memorials, especially the ones done through pre-existing connections (Mells being a notable exception). I bought the Kindle versions of that book (I was looking for something on Surrey in WWI anyway) so I'll see what I can get out of it.

@Carcharoth (or anyone else with any bright ideas) I'm struggling to find Monro's remarks. In the Shadow of the Great War cites an item in The Observer which turns out to actually be about Banstead (and still doesn't quote Monro). I've had a dig around Newspapers.com via TWL but can't find a report on the unveiling at Busbridge. Surely one of the local Surrey papers must have mentioned it but I don't know where else to look.

HJ Mitchell - I have seen war memorial unveiling (and similar - e.g. regimental dinner) speeches preserved in archives, as well as reported in newspapers of the day (the degree to which this can be used in Wikipedia depends, as unpublished material cannot be used until quoted in a published work). The degree to which the speeches were reported verbatim may have depended on whether the unveiling person was organised/literary/savvy enough to both draft speeches (and preserve the drafts) and provide copies to newspaper reporters. People like Kipling and Ware would do this, but maybe generals less so (unless someone like Haig or Plumer). Royal personages doing unveilings would get reported as well, but unless something longer was written for them, they would tend to use standard phrasings. Also local memorials versus the big ones in France and Belgium would affect where it was reported (though some of the most moving ones are the local memorial speeches).

My musings on the royal personages bit was prompted by the fact that the Portsmouth Naval Memorial was re-dedicated today (the initial unveiling was 100 years ago on 15 October this year). I have always wondered why the three naval memorials to the missing were unveiled by three royal princes - there must have been some symbolism there, likely the Senior Service aspect). The other (non-UK location) war memorials unveiled by royalty (excepting Tower Hill) were the late ones of Thiepval, Vimy and Villers-B (you could also include Ploegsteert, unveiled by the Belgian Crown Prince, who possibly also came over here for the unveiling of some of the Anglo-Belgian memorials - not sure about that).

Did you manage to dig out your copy of Pevsner's Surrey? I was in Brighton Library the other day but disappointingly they only had the 1970s edition, which didn't contain anything I couldn't see on snippet view in Google Books. It also had the briefest of passing mentions for Abinger Common War Memorial, Lutyens' other war memorial in Surrey.
