2015 Wikimedia photo competition
Probably too late for 2015, but has any thought been put into asking for interior pictures of listed (or other) buildings? Supermarket displays are quite ephemeral and worth recording. Modern kit makes this much more realistic to achieve than before, even without using flash. Most people take the external pic.SovalValtos (talk) 14:13, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Grade II listed buildings in Kensington and Chelsea
Hello. Thank you for creating Grade I listed buildings in Kensington and Chelsea and Grade II* listed buildings in Kensington and Chelsea. Would you be able to create Grade II listed buildings in Kensington and Chelsea please?Zigzig20s (talk) 10:03, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- There's only 1,209 of them! Good luck! --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 11:09, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- You could break them up into several alphabetical lists, as was done for Brighton. I do think it is important to have the list.Zigzig20s (talk) 11:24, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- Perhaps User:Hassocks5489 will want to help us?Zigzig20s (talk) 11:25, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- The tables were based on a database. I don't have a copy of it myself, but User:KTC might be able to help with producing lists. Nev1 (talk) 17:10, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- User:KTC: Would you like to help us with this please?Zigzig20s (talk) 07:46, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Zigzig20s: It would be easier if I hadn't only done it once or twice a year and half ago and has since completely forgotten how to generate the data, but here you go. -- KTC (talk) 15:43, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- User:KTC: This document is looking weird. Are you able to create the article please?Zigzig20s (talk) 16:01, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Zigzig20s: It's a comma-separated values file. Open it in any spreadsheet program to see it in tabular form with one listed building per row. I'm afraid not at the moment. Maybe at some indeterminate future I would find some time to do it, but not anytime soon. -- KTC (talk) 21:15, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Any thoughts?
Slack Roman fort or Slack Roman Fort? I used the first, I copied Castleshaw but I've found Bewcastle Roman Fort, Hardknott Roman Fort, Lunt Roman Fort, Ilkley Roman Fort and Strutt's Park Roman fort. As the Romans called it something else I thought it should be named like railway stations (Piccadilly railway station). Just wanted a second opinion. I suppose they ought to be named consistently. Forgot to say Hi, hope you are well. :) J3Mrs (talk) 09:42, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- Ho J3Mrs, I'm keeping well - and keeping busy! Hope you're well too. My inclination with Roman forts would be much like yours: Leave fort lower case. It does end up looking a bit peculiar. I'm not sure if there's really a convention on it. Nev1 (talk) 20:30, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Treaty of Louviers
If you have time, could you look over the Description section for improvements. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:13, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Doug, I'll happily take a look. Nev1 (talk) 21:28, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell: I think that section is very clear. The potential for things to get complicated is the second of those paragraphs, but I think it was handled well. It might be worth explaining in brackets what the Latin terms mean (or perhaps just swapping dominium for 'control'). Nev1 (talk) 22:15, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Nomination of Oval Books for deletion

List of scheduled monuments in Mendip
Hi, Your edit to List of scheduled monuments in Mendip removed a picture and references from Tithe Barn Pilton for no reason I could work out so I have reverted. Your edit summary said "(Semi-automated addition of image(s) and/or commonscat link(s) to monument list)" so I wondered if there was a problem with the gadget?— Rod talk 07:43, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- I'm the creator of the tool Nev1 used to make the edit and can confirm that this is a bug with it. I will work on a fix and hopefully have it out soon. Sorry for the error.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 09:41, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- The fix was easier than I thought. This looks good to me. If you see anything else like this, let me know. Sorry again for the error!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 10:02, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the fix.— Rod talk 16:38, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Could you check the article one more time before its day on the Main Page? - Dank (push to talk) 03:57, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Dank, I'll take a look and get back to you. Nev1 (talk) 18:08, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Dank, the summary looks good to me, I don't think there's a desperate need to include more. Nev1 (talk) 16:23, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

- As you might have gathered from how long it's taken me to reply(!) I'm a bit short of time at the moment. I can potter about a bit on castle articles here and there, but sadly the extra time needed for FAC quality may be a bit out of reach for the foreseeable future. That's the consequence of me being foolhardy and thinking I can juggle part-time post-graduate research with full-time work. But never say never, all it takes is the right castle. Nev1 (talk) 18:08, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello from the team at Featured article review!
We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.
Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.
Thanks for your help! Maralia (talk) 03:22, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Cadbury Castle, Somerset and missing page numbers
Hi, I've just started doing some expansion on Cadbury Castle, Somerset and noticed quite a few of the book sources are lacking page numbers. Do you have any of:
- Alcock, Leslie (1972). "By South Cadbury is that Camelot...": Excavations at Cadbury Castle 1966-70. London: Thames and Hudson. ISBN 0-8128-1505-X.
- Alcock, Leslie (1973). Arthur's Britain. Harmondsworth: Pelican. ISBN 978-0140213966.
- Alcock, Leslie (1995). Cadbury Castle, Somerset: The Early Medieval Archaeology. University of Wales Press. ISBN 978-0708312759.
- Tabor, Richard (2008). Cadbury Castle: The hillfort and landscapes. Stroud: The History Press. ISBN 978-0-7524-4715-5.
If so could you look up the relevant page numbers? Obviously any other ideas or edits for improvement would be great as I'd like to take this one to GAN sometime.— Rod talk 15:58, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:MacLellan's Castle 20080422 - entrance.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Your recent edit on Mustafizur Rahman
I undone your last edit on Mustafizur Rahman. A part of your copyediting enhanced an error. What I am more concerned about is what made you remove some words. Feel free to neglect my comments. Ikhtiar H (talk) 12:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Ikhtiar H. Good work on getting Mustafizur's article to GA status. It's good to see an important player getting some attention. I removed some text because I thought the tone didn't quite fit with an encyclopedic writing style. So in the bit which reads "He was embraced heavily in his outset" it's unclear what embraced heavily means. Does it mean he's a fan favourite or that he is well regarded by his team mates?

Hi! I should be interested in your opinion on this photograph. Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:29, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
Chepstow photos
Thanks for uploading recent photos in and around Chepstow. I've removed the one of the Wye bridge, simply because - although more recent - it was taken on a disappointingly grey day and - more importantly - shows the temporary scaffolding that was on the bridge for a few months in 2015/16 for repairs and repainting, but which was removed some time ago. It's not far from me, so I could take a new even more up-to-date photo, on a bright day, and put it up before the bicentenary celebrations later this month. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:23, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
- Fair enough, might be nice for something in Tim for the anniversary. Nev1 (talk) 17:28, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

FAC voluntary mentoring scheme
During a recent lengthy discussion on the WP:FAC talkpage, several ideas were put forward as to how this procedure could be improved, particularly in making it more user-friendly towards first-time nominees. The promotion rate for first-timers at FAC is depressingly low – around 16 percent – which is a cause for concern. To help remedy this, Mike Christie and I, with the co-operation of the FAC coordinators, have devised a voluntary mentoring scheme, in which newcomers will guided by more experienced editors through the stages of preparation and submission of their articles. The general format of the scheme is explained in more detail on Wikipedia: Mentoring for FAC, which also includes a list of editors who have indicated that they are prepared to act as mentors.
Would you be prepared to take on this role occasionally? If so, please add your name to the list. By doing so you incur no obligation; it will be entirely for you to decide how often and on which articles you want to act in this capacity. We anticipate that the scheme will have a trial run for a few months before we appraise its effectiveness. Your participation will be most welcome. Brianboulton (talk) 21:35, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- Many thanks for signing up. The response from would-be mentors has been most encouraging. Schemes like this are often slow to take off, and it may be a while before we know if it's working. But with this level of support, including that of many of our most experienced FA editors, I think it has every chance. Brianboulton (talk) 16:51, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

- It's a good idea and I hope the mentoring goes well. I think the number of people signing up is important as it shows people want to help. Thanks for the invite, I probably wouldn't have put my name forward otherwise since I was unsure how much time I'll have to mentor. Nev1 (talk) 18:18, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Deva Victrix
Hey I wanted to talk to you about putting Deva Victrix up for FAC, as you were a main contributor, I mistakenly made the FAC without consulting anyone, I was directed towards you for advice and mentoring, as this is my first FAC. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 02:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Iazyges, no worries. It's strange to think that went to FAC 8 years ago. It would be great to see it go through FAC. I'll take part in the peer review and we'll work out what needs to be done. Nev1 (talk) 09:45, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, on a semi related note do you have any idea how to fix it when your notifications say "Failed to fetch notifications?" Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 11:55, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- By the way Iazyges, do you have access to a library which might have sources about Deva, or perhaps some access through the Wikipedia Library? Nev1 (talk) 16:31, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Nev1: I have access to adam matthews, ill check if they have anything on britain. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 20:46, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Nev1: Do you feel Deva victrix is ready? Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 19:12, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Iazyes, sorry I didn't get round to leaving comments over the weekend, I'm working on some now. Nev1 (talk) 19:14, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, I admit I myself haven't been incredibly focused on it. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 19:14, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
