Hi there,

Just a wee note to say I'm working as a volunteer at Doncaster Archive and in time hope to catalogue the papers of William Bunting. There are over 90 boxes and it's a paper mountain to climb. There are a vast number of documents relating to the many court cases undertaken to protect the moors. I've made most progress with the Commons Registration Act (1965) cases which were a key factor in the 'defeat' of Fisons.

I started in January (2014) and work one or two days per week. I've only opened 1/3 of the boxes which are pretty chaotic as far as the content goes.

Let me know if there's any work I can do to augment what you are already doing / have done.

Thanks for the note. I called into Doncaster Archive when I needed some stuff for the article on Adlingfleet Drainage, and they were most helpful. It is a while since I did the stuff on Thorne Moors, but thoroughly enjoyed reading about Bunting's exploits.

Hi again Bob

I'm new to all this Wiki stuff so please forgive me for tardiness and other awkwardnesses (sic). The work on the Bunting archive continues. I've been focussing recently on the "Commons Registration Act 1965" as this forms the biggest single part of the archive (approx 9 boxes)

There are many supporting legal documents giving evidence relating to Vermuyden's activities including the original "Award" of 1630.

I can keep you updated if that's helpful, but it's very slow work taking about two days per box just to clean up and sort the papers and will probably take another day to catalogue. That makes over two hundred days. I've done 35 so far this year.

Regards

Thanks again for keeping me posted. It sounds like it is a lot of work, but will, I am sure, be most useful once it is done. It seems pretty pointless having an archive if nobody knows what is in it, or cannot find anything even if they did know what was in it. I wish you well with the work, and hope it inspires you.

Hi Bob1960evens. Many thanks for your help at improving the Vanajan Autotehdas article and awarding it the first GA status of articles which I have contributed heavily.

Hi Bob. For a couple of months I have been working through Sunbeam and its associated businesses and owners. I do not have them quite right yet I'm also suffering what I hope is a temporary loss of sufficient enthusiasm to get shot of it all. Main problem now is the occasional conflict and far too much duplication.

I write to seek forgiveness for bursting over the fence into your field by beginning a revision of your new Sunbeam article. Currently some sections are more vague than they need to be (because I have already gathered up the information I just need to spit it out again with references). Not sure that I'd act on it but I can be distressed when another tackles one of my recent articles and seems to destroy it and this is why I write to you.

I'm revising rather than debating on the talk page because there is so much to be adjusted. Please be sure to tackle me wherever you are unhappy/uncomfortable about/with my amendments. Best regards, Eddaido (talk) 08:48, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-10-28T08:48:00.000Z","author":"Eddaido","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Eddaido-2016-10-28T08:48:00.000Z-Sunbeam_Commercial_Vehicles","replies":["c-Bob1960evens-2016-10-28T10:32:00.000Z-Eddaido-2016-10-28T08:48:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi Eddaido. Forgiveness is offered unreservedly, though I am not sure it is really needed, in view of the co-operative nature of Wikipedia. I started the Sunbeam article because I was producing a series of articles on British milk float manufacturers, but realised that in Sunbeam's case, that was a small part of a larger operation. I had a reasonable amount of material for the milk float stuff, and found most of what I wrote on the trolleybuses in the Commercial Motor archive, plus books on trolleybuses and tramways that I have. Consequently, the ownership was a little more sketchy than I would have liked. You seem to be doing a good job of updating that, so carry on the good work.

Thank you. I know nothing about any of the commercial vehicles products. Tried very hard to find an available picture of a Sunbeam milk float but found only the one on the Wolverhampton Heritage site which I presume is unavailable. At least it is a clue to the appearance of one model. If it is any help I think I am very close to finished with this article. My habit is to go back and look at these things later and when I think I can express my thoughts (or do I mean info) better I make changes.The Commercial Motor Archive has for some time now locked me out from its images of magazine pages. Some long time ago I answered the questions in their "why do you want to look at my magazine" questionnaire though I don't know where I placed my foot wrong. That is otherwise a great resource and I miss it.

I have several pictures of Sunbeam milkfloats, but I think all of them have copyright issues. I am not really sure how it works, as they were published in 1943, so by the 70 year rule they ought to be ok, but if the copyright is 70 years plus the life of the author, they are not. I have looked at how copyright works several times, but have never quite got to grips with it. I have just looked at the Wolverhampton Heritage site, and the picture is the same as one that I have from 1943 but it has the background removed.

You are welcome, @Pi.1415926535:. I looked at the GA queue for transport in early June, and there were two of the oldest nominations at the head of it, so thought it was about time to review some more articles, and having started, I am just working down the list. There was only one that I skipped over, because it seemed to me too short, and lacking in a whole lot of detail. I have been pleasantly surprised by the speed at which most authors have addressed the issues, especially after the articles have been in the queue for such a long time.

Hi SovalValtos, they are available on line. I use www.old-maps.co.uk. You type in a placename or grid reference, and you get a modern map. Often it is zoomed in too far, and you have to zoom out to see what is going on. Then you click on the map, and it shows a list of all the maps that cover that area. Earliest dates are around 1870, and you get a variety of scales, but typically 1:2500 and 1:10560. Select a suitable date, and you have the map, which you can drag around to see a larger area.

No I don't, but have wondered about doing so.

The article cites several short Harvard-style citations without corresponding entries in the bibliography. Can you please add? Or are these typos in years? Missing refs:

• Glover 1998
• Connor 1987

Hi Dicklyon. I do not think it is a Long truss, as defined by the article on truss bridges. In particular, the Long truss section mentions that such a truss is made of wood or wood and metal, and as far as I understand it, there was no wood involved in Bouch's design. Also, a truss bridge seems to be a single span, whereas Redheugh included three piers, with the truss running through to the viaducts at either side. The three piers were each 252 feet from each other, but the total length of the truss was 743 feet, so there must have been about 120 feet between each of the outside piers and their associated viaducts. I think it was merely a truss that was long. I hope that helps.

Well, maybe that helps. I don't see the word "long" in the cited source, so wondered why you used it. Apparently not for Long truss, but not clear how "long" is assessed otherwise. Maybe we should rephrase?

"Long" is assessed by looking at the picture and using common sense. It would be nonsensical to describe a truss of 743 feet as short.

Hi Samnviv, it is not a mistake. Some people like such tables to be displayed, some people like them to be collapsed. If you like maps, you probably want them showing, but if not, probably not. There isn't an auto-collapse option for the PoIgb template, which you can use on some things so that it shows while the article is small, but hides as the article grows. You can remove it if you want to, but my choice would be to leave it hiding. Regards.

Hi there, I happened upon a book, more like a booklet, the other day that I had read as a child back in the 60s. It was "Tinker, Tailor," part of a series brought out by Longmans (Heritage Story Books) and it taught children about different professions, one of which was a milkman. All the pictures showed an electric float with a piece of canvas (or cloth) hanging in front from halfway down the windshield (or windscreen in British English). For the life of me I never figured out what that was about and why it was needed. That curiosity was rekindled when I found that book again in the attic. I figured you might know sometime about it. Here is a picture off the web, though this one is more buttoned down as it were. In my book that it was a squarish piece of white cloth hanging from two strings or wires in the front.

• Hi @Fowler&fowler:, the picture is of one of the early Wales & Edwards floats. They were first designed around 1951, but the driver was really exposed to all weathers, and the canvas was an attempt to give him a little bit of protection from the wind and rain. The W&E article includes an image of the very first W&E three-wheeler, fitted with a similar canvas screen, as there was no windshield. I am not entirely sure when the first model with a windshield was produced by them, but they remodelled the front end in 1955, using a polyester resin called glasspol, and I suspect proper windshields came in at that point.

• Hi Bob, Very sorry, but I had to go away on account of a family emergency. (Things are fine now.) That is a very insightful explanation. The picture in the book I have does have a flat windshield up top about a foot high through which the driver sees.

Below it hangs the canvas, from roughly the driver's shoulder to the steering wheel.

Below the canvas, the body has a bulging, curved, shape. So, I suspect, as you say, they didn't have the technology to mould a windshield to those limitations (linear to nonlinear). Or the technology was expensive and not worth employing on a humble milk float.

I had first thought the canvas was meant to shield the batteries from the sun, and the batteries were up in the front, but in another picture, they actually show the driver attaching the charging lead to the battery which is under the seat! The book was published in the late 1950s I think, so the copyright hasn't expired, otherwise I would have added the picture.

Thanks again for a nice explanation, and many apologies for a very tardy reply.

Bob

My name is Nick Dymott and I am the webmaster and magazine editor for the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal Trust.  I am reaching out to you in relation to the work done by yourself on the Wikipedia page on the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal.

In late 2021 I attempted to make some amendments to the page, but these were not properly supported with citations/references, and the changes I made were understandably undone by user WikiDan61 shortly thereafter.

I wish to make a further attempt at updating the article, particularly in relation to the Restoration of the Canal, and to correct a couple of inaccuracies elsewhere in the article.

In doing so I will attempt to fully support new material with appropriate citations and references, but I am new to Wikipedia and may therefore not get everything lined up correctly at first.

The purpose of this communication is to let you know of my intentions, and to ask that you bear with me, and if at all possible offer guidance on correcting any poor Wikipedia practices I use.

I am reaching out to user WikiDan61 in a similar way to this.

Any assistance offered would be very much appreciated.

Hi Nick @Nkneb61:. I will be happy to assist in any way that I can. One of the primary requirements for editing Wikipedia is that information added should be supported by reliable third-party sources. For waterways restoration projects, these are not always easy to come by, and so they are often supported by publications produced by the Trust carrying out the work. These have to be treated with care, so statements like "this lock was restored in 2023" are fine, but statements like "this is the best restoration project in England and Wales" are not, and are only relevant if a reliable third party publishes them, because a Trust is obviously enthusiastic about its own projects, in a way that can cloud neutrality. You also need to be careful of conflict of interest, if you are effectively working on behalf of the Trust.

Also, it is not good practice to remove material which is supported by existing references, without clear explanation on why those references are no longer accurate. Keep me posted.

Hi, can you help me with Template:Glamorganshire Canal map, which you have worked on before. Please check my edit. I am unfamiliar with the conventions for these maps and the markup syntax.

Hi @Verbcatcher:, I have changed the curved icons at either side of the aqueduct into arrow heads, using the uexCONTfq icon (arrow to right) and uexCONTgq icon (arrow to left). uexCONTf normally points downwards, and the "q" suffic rotates it by 90 degrees. Similarly uexCONTg normally points upwards, and the "q" rotates it. I have also removed the double brackets from [[Bute Dock feeder]] since I think it unlikely that the Bute Dock feeder is sufficiently notable that it would deserve an article of its own. It is more likely to get a brief mention in an article about Bute Dock. There seems to be an article about Cardiff Docks, which has a small section about Bute Docks, where the feeder (also a red link) is called Bute Docks feeder (with an S). If you wanted to, you could link the feeder to Cardiff Docks ([[Cardiff Docks|Bute Docks]] feeder) or to the section about Bute Docks ([[Cardiff Docks#Bute Docks|Bute Docks]] feeder). I hope that helps.

Thank you. I wrote the paragraphs in Cardiff Docks and Glamorganshire Canal. I added red links to Bute Dock feeder because I thought that it was notable for an article. Coflein is a highly reliable source to base this on, and I also found some mentions in a local newspaper. However, I now think it is inadequate and I plan to move the paragraph in Cardiff Docks into another section, and flesh it out. I would then make a redirect for the feeder.

Is there a generic term for the reservoir that supplier a power station - e.g. for Loch an Daimh in relation to Cashlie Power Station? The question may seem odd, but as far as I can see wikidata does not have a model for connecting power stations to the reservoirs that supply them. I get the impression the dominant model in WP is a generator in the dam which forms the reservoir, rather than a generator remote from the dam/resevoir and on the bank of a lake or river into which the tailrace discharges. So, I seek a term to use for the WD model ... 'head reservoir', or somesuch. I think if you don't know, then there probably isn't one. thx. --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240518213600","author":"Tagishsimon","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Tagishsimon-20240518213600-Generic_term_for_the_reservoir_feeding_a_hydroelectric_power_station","replies":["c-Bob1960evens-20240520124400-Tagishsimon-20240518213600"]}}-->

Hi @Tagishsimon:. "Head reservoir" tends to be used for the upper reservoir in a chain of water supply reservoirs, but I have not seen it applied to a hydroelectric reservoir. There is an article on Head (hydrology), but it is unsourced, and does not really clarify anything. I think if I were to use a term, I would use "feeder reservoir". This is widely used to describe a remote reservoir feeding a canal, and in essence the setup for many hydroelectric reservoirs is similar.

Would you have any objection to me altering the SFN style references on Mangapps Railway Museum to use Template:R and Template:RP instead? It would simply tidy up the references a little - asking because I don’t just want to wholesale change someone else’s work when they’ve literally just done it!

Hi, I do not know the Template:R template, but by all means make the change. I am still working on it at the moment, so beware edit conflicts.

No worries - I'll hold off until this evening, and drop a note once it's done.

Basically, that template appends the page number for the reference as a superscript next to the inline ref ID - take a look once I've done it, and feel free to revert otherwise Danners430 (talk) 14:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240722143500","author":"Danners430","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Danners430-20240722143500-Bob1960evens-20240722142200","replies":[]}}-->

Moved from top of talk page

Hello, thank you for adding to the Mangapps page, I've been volunteering there since 2014 and it's good see the page being expanded. With regard to 2613 "Brookfield", the info on the industrial loco website is actually wrong as it has been under overhaul since 2015 and i have been photographing the overhaul from start to finish. Hope you don't mind if i change the year to 2015. Thanks again and here is the youtube video of the overhaul with my photos https://youtube/eQKrMmTlX4w?si=75dmA3nhdsjnm2rD Cooper0694 (talk) 14:10, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240829141000","author":"Cooper0694","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Cooper0694-20240829141000-Mangapps_edits","replies":["c-Cooper0694-20240829141300-Cooper0694-20240829141000","c-Danners430-20240829143200-Cooper0694-20240829141000"]}}-->

(talk page stalker) if there's a better source stating it's been under overhaul, then please do - there's actually a discussion ongoing at WP:RS/Noticeboard about the website Preserved British Steam Locomotives Danners430 (talk) 14:32, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240829143200","author":"Danners430","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Danners430-20240829143200-Cooper0694-20240829141000","replies":["c-Bob1960evens-20240829151600-Danners430-20240829143200"]}}-->

Hi @Cooper0694:. Thanks for the info. The issue is that info needs to be sourced for it to appear on Wikipedia, and we have a source for 2020, but not for 2015 (yet). It is a perenial problem. I note that the discussion mentioned by @Danners430: says you can usually find any info from the Preserved British Steam Locomotives website elsewhere, but that is a bit fanciful, I think. The Mangapps website does not even list "Brookfield" on its Locomotives page, and there is no info on the current status of any of the vehicles. By the way, I visited Mangapps in late August, specifically to see the former Southend Pier Train, and got to see 11103 in the workshop while we were at it, which is where the picture came from. I have since written to Mangapps expressing my thanks for a wonderful visit, and enquiring about long-term conservation of the pier train, but have yet to receive a reply.
