Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page South Middleton (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.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

The article Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries for things which need to be addressed.

Hello and welcome to WikiProject Worcestershire! Thank you for your generous offer to help contribute. We're sure your input will be much appreciated and hope you enjoy contributing here and being a Worcestershire Wikipedian. If you have any questions, feel free to discuss anything on the project talk page. Finally, remember, be bold with your ideas!

We don't have official coordinators for this project but as I created it, I generally do most of the maintenance. Don't hesitate to contact me if you would like any help with editing articles under our remit, or would like to know where you can help more. Regards, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:27, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kudpung...thanks for the welcome! I'll see what I can do! :) Bellow558 (talk) 10:56, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi -- I just did some indenting of your replies at Talk:Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries/GA1; I hope that's OK. Not sure if you've participated in a review like this before, but this is a pretty common way of interacting -- having each person's comments start on a separate line, indented to show what they're replying to, makes it a lot easier to read. There are two indent characters: "*" and ":". The asterisk creates a bullet; the colon creates an indent with no symbol. If you want to reply to an indent, repeat it and add a colon or asterisk, as you prefer -- e.g. if I start a row with "*:::", and you want to indent with no bullet, start your reply with "*::::". I hope that's useful.

Thanks for your patience with my review -- you've clearly put a lot of work into the article, and I think the material is there for GA, but it's such a confusing topic that I think we need to be extra careful about clarity. That of course means I have to understand it properly before I can work with you on figuring out the best way to explain the events, and I'm afraid I'm being a bit slow. Anyway, I should have some more time this evening on it; I am about to go out for a bit but expect to work on it later. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:13, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your assistance Mike...it is greatly appreciated! :) Bellow558 (talk) 15:28, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I created most of this a few years ago and got it to GA and I really want to get it up to FA (it's very close already and has had 2 PRs). If you are a local person and feel up to it, you may like to give me a hand. Most of the earlier collaborators are no longer active. There's also this that was on the brink of being passed as GA but I was taken ill during the review and couldn't finish it at the time. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there kudpung...Once I get this GA review out of the way, I'll go through both and see what needs to be done (if anything) and add some bits to the talk sections. Then take it from there? The one thing that could be useful is using the Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries article to start cleaning up some of the Worcestershire page. What do you think? Bellow558 (talk) 15:26, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think the Evesham article is pretty much ready to be nominated again. It needs the links checking to see that none are dead since the last time I did it. One of the original aims of the Worcestershire Project was to get all the major towns in the county up to GAS, but as far as I can remember, Worcester, Kidderminster, Redditch, and Bromsgrove are in a terrible state and would need a lot of work. Malvern is already done and really needs to go for FA now. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:48, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did a quick read of the Evesham article last night and it seems pretty comprehensive to me, if I get the chance over the next few days...I'll go through it with a lot more detail and compare it to the previous GA review. The only thing that I can see is the "Transport" section could probably do with the main bus routes included? I can also start going through the Worcester article soon and try to clean it up Bellow558 (talk) 10:13, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All the links in Evesham also need to be checked to ensure that none of them have gone dead. dead links are a sure fail for GA. I'll be away fro a few days - let me know on my talk page when you would likeme to give it a once-over. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:54, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi,

I've only just noticed you've created some maps based on my Worcestershire 1932 Map. The reason I didn't notice is that you haven't listed them as derived works on my original map page, but instead have listed me as the author. In fact for works like this, you should be listed as the author (as you made these versions) and then your versions are listed as derivative works in the other_versions= tag of the original file description.

I would also like to say the source material I have for the original map shows the individual parishes you are marking in your maps. So if you wish I can create a version that shows the parishes and upload it for you to use that instead. Alternatively I am happy to create versions of the maps you have myself for you to use. Please let me know what you would like to do :) XrysD (talk) 11:56, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there...thank you for your message; I apologise for not responding to your message sooner! If you have the time, that would be great if you could create a few maps for use on this page...that would be fantastic. It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Worcestershire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oldbury (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi there, thank you for adding material about the Norman conquest to Worcestershire. The Worcestershire page though really needs a very simple but complete history section, as it is a general page for the whole topic and audience. Some of the detail of it that you have very helpfully put together might be better at History of Worcestershire; could you move and combine the material to that page? There is some material on the Norman conquest there already but I am sure the two parts could be worked together. At the very least, the history of Worcerstershire page should not have less information than the general page, I think. I had intended developing the detail at History of Worcestershire and then producing a simpler version for the main page; I didn't quite complete this task and had at least the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to draft. If you have an queries about the balance of these two pages, we can chat on the talk pages. Thank you again for contributing, it is great to have someone else working on these topics.

Worcestershire - one of England's oldest and still existing (with some minor boundary changes) ceremonial and political shires, famous for its nearly 1000 year old cathedral, the River Severn, the AONB of the Malvern Hills, some of the oldest schools in the country, England's fastest growing university, apples, pears, cider and cricket, and of course its world famous sauce. The Wikiproject is now in need of some attention. Created 12 years ago, this project amassed a huge resource for editors working on all kinds of articles and categories related in some way or another to the county. Kudpung is more or less retired from Wikipedia getting on for 2 years ago and it would be good if a group of editors could get it up to date and continue to maintain it.

The WORCESTERSHIRE Project Newsletter - May 2023

The WikiProject WORCESTERSHIRE Newsletter Issue 3 - May 2023 (Archived here.) Welcome to the third WikiProject Worcestershire newsletter and the first one in (checks notes) THIRTEEN years! When I first joined this WikiProject back in December last year, I was slightly tempted to mark it as inactive, as activity had extremely slowed and there had been no new participants in 3 years. But I have decided to revive this project, as Worcestershire means a lot to me and I know it does for so many others. But as many participants of this project have disappeared completely off Wikipedia, this project is now in dire need of attention and it would be helpful if a group of editors could join me and continue to maintain it. Here goes for the third EXTREMELY irregular news bulletin... What's happened since last time Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries since 1844 was promoted to Good article on 3 September 2014. Largely the work of Bellow558, a Worcestershire Project member, the article was reviewed by Mike Christie. Hanley Castle High School was was promoted to Good article on 30 August 2012. There are 78 good articles for educational institution of all kinds of which there are 4 GA for secondary schools in the UK. Hanley High School is the first state school in the UK to become GA. Evesham was nominated on 2 December 2010 as a Good Article Candidate. The nomination unfortunately failed due to unforeseen unavailability of the editors working on the article. It only requires minor attention to be renominated. Worcester Castle was awarded Good Article status on 27 October 2011. Largely the work of User:Hchc2009 , the article was reviewed and promoted by User:Malleus Fatuorum. The photo by David Iliff of the medieval cloisters in Worcester Cathedral (pictured above) appeared as picture of the day on 5 October 2016. Urse d'Abetot was awarded Featured Article status on 13 October 2009. Promoted by Karanacs, the article was 96.4% the work of Ealdgyth. It was finally featured on the main page on 14 April 2018. The Battle of Powick Bridge was awarded Featured Article status in 2020 and appeared on the Main Page on 12 February 2023.

Would you like to join the WP:WORCS?? Please enter yourself at WP:WORCS! - new editors are always welcome! Happy Wikying, and thanks to everyone else who has contributed to our articles. New project resources Before making any major edits to articles or stubs, please be sure to read the new WP:WORCS/HowTo. Urgent tasks are now listed at: WP:WORCS/ToDo. It should be referred to often, and will be your main stop for most maintenance tasks. We recommend keeping the page on your watchlist. Priorities are not set in stone and if you would like to discuss changes, please join in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Worcestershire. The current priorities: Population Now that the 2021 census details have been released, most settlement articles need updating. This website: https://www.citypopulation.de/ can be helpful, although you should note this does not collect data from hamlets or small villages. Monitor The watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible. Infoboxes Some of our articles need their infoboxes completing. References Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference. If you are uploadiing an image, be sure it has a correct FUR, and that you have preferably already created a link on the page where you want it to be. These lists will help: All Worcs related articles by ABC Worcs related articles by type. All Worcs related articles about people by ABC List of all Schools in Worcestershire List by Class & Importance: Page 1 All categories except people (not yet tagged with WP banner) List by Class & Importance: Page 2 All categories except people (not yet tagged with WP banner). Guidelines How to write about settlements How to write about counties How to write about rivers How to write about people Missing civil parishes There is a project creating missing civil parish articles in England at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes. The missing parishes in Worcestershire currently are: Drakes Broughton and Wadborough Norton and Lenchwick South Lenches Stock and Bradley Stoke, Worcestershire Westwood, Worcestershire Evesham project I am currently planning on reforming the Evesham article to get it up to scratch for another GA nomination. If other editors are interested in helping me then please do, especially if you live in Evesham yourself, as the main photo is from 2008 and is out-of-date as there is a new statue in front of the building. On the newsletter I intend to write a brand-new newsletter once every two months, though I would like other editors to help me in completing it in case of my unavailability.
