Powys Community maps

[edit]

Hi Dankjae, not sure why you're removing the community maps for Powys and replacing them with pushpin maps. Most of the communities are quite large and a red pushpin doesn't begin to describe them. Sionk (talk) 00:25, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The community maps are still there, although for Powys they’re automatically collapsed at the bottom of the infobox due to the size.
The push pin map is automatically generated by the infobox when allocating coordinates, alongside other automatic additions. Just standardising the format to add all the community maps at the bottom of the infobox for all communities. Rather than two maps next to each other on some, no maps on others and for some a community map separate from the infobox.
Would prefer the template be tweaked so the community map can fit easily first (aside using image2 which makes two maps next to each other with coords) but did the best option based on how it currently works, merely repeated it. Discussed in a section above. DankJae 07:39, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Sionk I could uncollapse some of Powys’ and hide the push pin? DankJae 07:45, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ahhh, I didn't realise this was something the infobox was doing automatically. Yes, it would make more sense to hide the pushpin maps in favour of the commumity ones in almost every case, if that's an option. Pushpins are great for towns and villages and the tiniest of communities. Sionk (talk) 17:54, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict), I see you removed the last comment, I already written a response so....
@Sionk, I'll attempt to show the community map first (aside using image2), for Powys articles only on communities. DankJae 18:26, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Sionk,
So at Cadfarch I attempted two alternatives,
Any preference? DankJae 18:39, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for late reply, been away and busy with other things. While I can see some benefits of the pushpin maps, showing some topography and arterial routes, the community maps are far better as the default map in my opinion. With the example of Cadfarch, there's no village with that name, so the pushpin itself doesn't really tell us much (if it's shown at all, maybe it should be at the centre of the community). There are only half a dozen or so communities in Powys which are (relatively) small enough for a pushpin to be useful. But I've no objection to the pushpin map being left as an option for the reader, if they want to see a different level of geographical information. Thanks for considering the options. Sionk (talk) 11:15, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Sionk, I'll assume that means no switcher? In the end the scenario is equivalent to having a pushpin at Wales, which would be odd. Fair enough. DankJae 03:15, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The European Destubathon

[edit]

You are invited to participate in The European Destubathon in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes, including a prize for Wales articles, which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub, though longer expansions also welcome. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge/20,000 Challenge for UK and Ireland entries. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested. Thanks! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:44, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Talacre Abbey (now Westbury Castle) Cadw No. 558

[edit]

Morning DankJae - hope you are keeping well. Do you happen to know anything about the above? Despite being just off the A548, it looks completely unviewable. Earth takes you no closer than a gate, with two Private Property signs, Commons has nothing modern, ditto Geograph. All of which is a pity, as an article would net a Grade II* listed park, five Grade II* listed buildings, about a dozen Grade IIs, and Capability Brown, no less. It appears once to have been a wedding venue, but is now private again, [1]. May have to do an article with the 1928 postcard. Not very satisfactory, but perhaps better than nothing. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 07:16, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, not really. It is a bit out-of-the-way from the more touristy areas, so haven't come across it. Gutting there aren't many images of it, cannot find any free ones myself, so seems the postcard(s) would have to do and submit a photo req that would eventually be tackled. It having an article may at least increase the possibility someone with closer connections may try to get an image. It is now private and the owner wished to remain anonymous on buying, so seems unlikely and difficult to direct contact them if considered. The abbey has some interesting ruins though. DankJae 21:10, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. But it is somewhat frustrating that these important privately-owned properties get so little coverage. Have just done Fort Williamsburg, but seven Grade II* listed buildings, and Commons and Geograph can manage a total of two images! Ah well, a Welshman’s home is his castle, I suppose. Take care. KJP1 (talk) 21:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Understand the frustration over few images, but it is now private so not much that can be done. Hope you're well too. DankJae 08:29, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move Discussion

[edit]

This move discussion may interest you, you seem to have commented on the other Palestine-related moves so I am notifying you of this one. It is just a cleanup of the remaining "State of Palestine articles". Easternsahara (talk) 21:47, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Easternsahara Commented on that, although as a multi-move it is quite complicated and involved moving from PNA which is not as straight-forward. I only commented on other the Palestinian moves as they gained little traction for a sometimes a simple consistency case to remove "State of". Kind regards. DankJae 22:42, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protection template

[edit]

Apologies for that oversight - I suspect it was removed when I copied the article to my Sandbox to work on it over a few hours and multiple devices. Danners430 (talk) 13:16, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that's exactly what happened - MusikBot yeeted it into the void because my sandbox wasn't protected :-) Danners430 (talk) 13:18, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I was confused, happily it's just an error, such can slip under the radar. Just double check next time. Thanks DankJae 13:20, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
