Divine (noun)
A divine is a cleric, as any dictionary will tell you. Please self-revert. Awien (talk) 21:17, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- Or substitute "divinity"; that would work too. Awien (talk) 21:23, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
Just for the record, Eric Corbett did eventually look it up, and admitted that I was, in fact, right all along. Awien (talk) 21:51, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Senghenydd
Thank you once again for all your edits and comments on the Senghenydd colliery disaster article and at the PR. This is now at FAC, should you wish to comment further. Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 12:12, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Coal Mines Act 1911
Thank you for your contributions to this article. A minor point, see User:Aymatth2#Line breaks, it would be easier for me if the line breaks were left in this article, which still needs considerable expansion. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 02:02, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- I can't think how I came to this article, must be via the colliery disaster article. I haven't come across many editors interested in the coal industry so it makes a welcome change. I don't usually read user pages but I'll fix it to how it was, sorry about that. I have a "thing" about one-line paragraphs so I got carried away :( J3Mrs (talk) 07:14, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. It is an obscure point. I dislike very short paragraphs too, and I suppose in edit mode it looked like the article was full of them. I would say industry in general gets very poor coverage. Railways, trains, boats etc. get plenty of coverage, but the industries that make and power them get very little. I suppose it is natural to be more interested in the thing you can see and use than in the hidden processes behind it. Aymatth2 (talk) 11:27, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bedford, Greater Manchester, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brook (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Leigh Population
Thanks for changing my edit for the population of Leigh. My edit was supported by the refs though. Atherleigh ward, as the name suggests, is half in Atherton, half in Leigh, yet you have included the entire population of the ward in the town of Leigh. Have you looked at the ward map? The approximate population of Leigh was stated in the article before I added it to the infobox and before you deleted both Huddsblue (talk) 03:56, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi J3Mrs! In regards to the above photo, is this an exhibit from the National Coal Mining Museum for England? Kelly hi! 13:06, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
South Wheal Frances Mine
I noticed that, depending on which listing you look at on Historic England, the name of the mine is spelled as either "Frances" or "Francis".[1] Would I be correct in assuming that the definitive name is "Frances", after Frances Bassett? If so I'll correct the spelling at Commons:Category:South Wheal Francis and drop an e-mail to Historic England. Kelly hi! 09:30, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- The Great Flat Lode leaflet spells it Frances, Francis was her father, I'm sure all the literature I've seen uses Frances. J3Mrs (talk) 19:35, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks! I don't know if you noticed, but I copied your freely-licensed uploads to Commons so they could be used by other projects, and added some other information to them, such as listed building links where appropriate. I noticed you had tagged some of your uploads with {{KeepLocal}}. If you get a chance, please look over the Commons copies to make sure the details meet with your approval and let me know if the local copies can be deleted. With respect - Kelly hi! 19:55, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- I deliberately didn't put them on Commons and most definitely don't want them deleted. I wish I had discovered the KeepLocal tag earlier. J3Mrs (talk) 20:06, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- I respect your decision but just out of curiosity - why not Commons? I wrote List of scheduled monuments in South Kesteven and took many of the photos myself and have never had any trouble with Commons. I often copy photos of UK heritage places there. Have you had issues? Kelly hi! 20:33, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

- I find it easier to upload here for articles I'm interested in. I can't even remember who put me off but I do what's easy for me. J3Mrs (talk) 20:49, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- (Intruding) Actually it's dead-easy to upload to Commons using the Wizard, and I think it makes the images more available to more users. It might be worth a try on a quiet day. Cheers, and keep up your good work. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 07:35, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
