What area should cover the Trent power stations for a Navbox Like for Yorkshire and Humber, as Derbyshire, Lincs and Notts, Staffordshire all cover the Trent Valley, and theirs other odd powerstaions in Lincs. I think East Midlands probably best ? -BulldozerD11 (talk) 00:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That the thing what areas to use as individual counties dont work for them and some industries have defined areas for groupings. The North Lincs coast ones would probably be best in both like Teesside falls in NE as well as Yorkshire. Trent valley has Cottam, Marnham, Ratcliff, Burton, (Rugeley) etc. as a quicklist -BulldozerD11 (talk) 00:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Stella cooling towers.jpg, which you've sourced to Aidan Doyle. I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 18:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also Image:Stella power station ash crane.jpg and Image:Bessie surtees boat swing bridge.jpg. I know you marked them with "self" licenses, but you also put a "self" license on Image:Alcan lynemouth.JPG, with an author name of Fintan Dawson. --dave pape (talk) 18:35, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I assumed the Alcan lynemouth one was actually your work. For the others, at the very least, there should be a statement on the image pages explaining the permission. Ideally, you should forward an e-mail statement from Doyle to OTRS, and they can formally tag all the photos as OK; see Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission#Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries (one e-mail referring all the photos would be enough, not one per image). --dave pape (talk) 19:07, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, you might as well remove the tags - it sounds like everything will be straightened out. --dave pape (talk) 19:23, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fintan264. Thanks for your note.

• 1. For ref 11, I suggest that you use {Cite journal} (with double curly brackets at start & end), its description and guide to use can be found here: Template:Cite journal. The same information can be used, e.g. title of article, title of journal, page Nos, etc, so "last= Galbraith", "first =Lt.-Colonel R. F.", etc. If you add something and its wrong I'll probably correct it. The article is very close to GA, so you will not get a failure (the worst will be "On Hold").
• 2. For ref 12, I suggest that you use {Cite video} (with double curly brackets at start & end), its description and guide to use can be found here: Template:Cite video and add what information that you have available. If you don't have a precise date use the year or the decade.
• 3. Sorry I forgot to put it in the GAR. Ref 10 only verifies "brick cathedral", unless I've misread it, it does not verify that Stella was that last "brick cathedral"-style power station built. If I can find a ref I'll add one. Possibly your library has architectural guides for the local area. I was thinking along the lines of Nikolaus Pevsner "Northumberland (Pevsner Buildings of England)" - he might make a good or a disparaging comment about the power stations.
• 4. Sorry I don't know Gateshead or Newcastle on Tyne. Google (or Yahoo, etc) is the easiest search engine to use and I assume that you have used them to search for date references. The other way is to look at local newspapers, I don't know the area and I don't know what papers are available. But, for Glasgow I would search the Glasgow Herald, for Birmingham I would search the Birmingham Post and in the West County I would use Western Daily Press, most of these are on-line and have some kind of search engine. Nationally, The Times and The Telegraph can be searched.
• I hope this helps.Pyrotec (talk) 13:28, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've awarded GA. There are a few "weak" sections that could do with more references, such as "Closure" and "Demolition", and they do need some attention, but I suspect that this will take some time to do. Overall the article meets GA. Pyrotec (talk) 07:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

		The Original Barnstar
		For all your work on articles about power stations in England, I award you this barnstar Beagel (talk) 07:26, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I replied on the PR page about the refs. I am not sure about using photos as refs - have seen it done, but I think if possible refs to the films themselves (perhaps with a time in the film when the station is visible) and to a map or atlas might work. As for copyeditors, there are some listed in the last section of WP:PRV that you could ask. Interesting article, thanks for working so hard on it, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:16, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just reply here. I looked at and I think it's a task I can handle. The only thing is that another user has a copy edit request in with me first, his article is at FAC now, so I plan on getting to that tonight or tomorrow night and then I will tackle your article. Sound good? --IvoShandor (talk) 18:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've nominated Uskmouth Power Station, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created/expanded on November 19, where you can improve it if you see fit. Thanks --Bruce1ee^talk 07:53, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be selected within the next few days. Keep an eye on the nomination page at Template talk:Did you know, and when it disappears from this page you can watch its progress at Template:Did you know/Next update and the associated queues listed at the top of this page. Complicated, I know, but you will receive a message on your talk page when it appears on the Main Page. --Bruce1ee^talk 07:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On 24 November, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Uskmouth Power Station, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

A somewhat minor point, but why is '0.75 mi' preferable to '3/4 mile', as in today's edit [1] in Charles Hesterman Merz? . Thanks - Crosbiesmith (talk) 19:10, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, in case I seem unappreciative, I appreciate your creating Neptune Bank Power Station back in September - Crosbiesmith (talk) 19:14, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 22:26, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please stop adding links to {{London Power Stations}} to every article, and get the template name right first. Thanks. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:53, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

... can be initiated at WP:TfD. Good luck. B.Wind (talk) 23:58, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed that you had just made your first nomination at FAC. Congratulations - that step scares a lot of editors ;) It's always nice to see new nominators, and I hope you enjoy your experience and become a frequent contributor! One important thing to remember - reviewers assume that there's lots of good things about the article already, and so usually focus on the issues that can be improved. Don't be discouraged if you get a long list of potential problems; that is extremely common with first nominations (it definitely was with mine!). If you have any questions about the feedback you get, ask on your nomination, or at WT:FAC or on my talk page or that of any other frequent reviewer. We'll be happy to help you :) Good luck!

Thanks for uploading File:Payroll stella power station screenshot.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:06, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've printed out the article and I'll go through it with a red pen this weekend to see what I can spot. JMiall₰ 18:28, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And a dismayingly long list it is. Still, it can be surmounted. First, however, the matter of the name. Please look at my question on the article's talk page and respond there. Thanks. Morenoodles (talk) 10:58, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean to be too daunting. I hope that you do carry on improving the article, there's definitely plenty of good content there already and many improvements won't take much effort to tick off. Bear in mind that not everything I've suggested need necessarily be added, particularly if the information just isn't available, but the more things that you can put in in order to meet the FA requirement to be comprehensive the better. JMiall₰ 14:10, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fintan, I'm not sure what definition of London you are using for this. While I am all for keeping London-related stuff together, Tilbury, Coryton and West Thurrock are/were in Essex, not Greater London. Should they be included? Conversely Watford and Rye House are also within the semi-continuous built-up area. Pterre (talk) 10:30, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also Littlebrook is only a couple of miles outside Greater London, closer than Tilbury or Coryton, but is included in the Southeast template. Pterre (talk) 12:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In that case the template needs modifying: Assuming that the London region is still just Greater London (which it seems to be from the map on the Regions of England article) it does not include Thurrock, though (in my opinion) it should. Glad to fill in the blanks - there's not a lot of info on some of the closed ones online, I must get to the library sometime. Pterre (talk) 13:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved them, and added Northfleet to South East England. Sadly the Thames is now split three ways. Pterre (talk) 09:40, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fintan, I can't say I agree with your removing my photo. Jim Champion's only expands to geograph size (640 max), while mine expands to 1000x1504 and is (imho) perfectly clear. Plenty of other choices if you prefer. Pterre (talk) 09:04, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Blyth new powerstation.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Some months ago you proposed merging the different installations at Hinkley Point A nuclear power station, B, C etc. There doesn't seem to be agreement on this on the talk page so would it be OK if I remove the merge tags?— Rod ^talk 13:06, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
