Article ratings

Hi. I think your rating of so many Wales-related articles as "stub"-class is incorrect. Most of these articles are not stubs by either the project definition or the wikipedia definition. They provide enough information to be considered "start" class, eg. Silyn Roberts, Maredudd ab Owain. Deb 12:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, good point. What I don't want is to end up taking on overall responsibility for the Wales project. Incidentally, I'm not trying to get at you with the stubs thing. It's just a source of constant irritation to me how people are constantly tagging things as stub articles when they're not (often it's done by people who don't actually write any articles themselves) - it's no wonder we have so many stubs. I would personally say that both the articles above are start-class in terms of the project, and purely as articles they don't meet the definition of a stub. However, all I've done is remove the stub notice, which, to be fair, you didn't put on in the first place. I'd rather not change ratings when you've gone to the trouble of adding them - I would just like us not to waste time trying to expand articles that already have the basic details in them that most readers will want, and to concentrate on the ones that really do need work, eg. "Gareth Bloggs is a Welsh rugby player full stop." Deb 17:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Twthill, Rhuddlan

Twthill (Twtil in Welsh) is a Welsh castle located in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire. Twthill castle is built to a 'motte and bailey' design and was erected by Robert of Rhuddlan

Just wondering, if it was built by a Norman, should it be called a 'Welsh Castle'? I've always thought that Welsh Castles were built by native princes and that others are referred to as Norman Castles. Just a thought.--Rhyswynne 12:32, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Penmon and St S

Many thanks for tidying up after me - not quite sure how I missed those! I noticed your comments about the Penmon article, and wondered what you wanted done with the photos that I added: I tried having them subsection by subsection, e.g. the Dovecot photo at the head of the subsection about the Dovecot, and it left a lot of white space on the page. I've not added many photographs to articles before, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Bencherlite 14:18, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Bore da i chi hefyd. Thanks for the suggestions about the photos; I'll have a tinker and see what it looks like. (The photo of the tunnel isn't mine). I don't have a village photo, but may be able to get one over the summer at some point - although I'm in Anglesey frequently, I don't often go as far over as Penmon. Bencherlite 08:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Fi hefyd, unwais eto. Just to let you know that I've renamed it to Penmon, Anglesey in accordance with WP:MOS conventions, added an infobox (to which someone else added a map) and added some further details about census information from a useful site or two that others pointed me towards. I've suggested to the page's creator that it's taken to review for Good Article status. I don't know if it merits it, but it seems to do well against the criteria. Anyway, just to say thanks for reviewing the page and pushing other editors into action with your helpful suggestions. Regards, Bencherlite 23:42, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou for your help on rating it. Bencherlite has suggested that it should be improved to Good Article status, as stated above. If there are any other things you want to add, then please add them, and I hope that this article can be improved up to the standard. Thanks again! -- Casmith_789 (talk) 15:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I've decided to be bold and nominate the article for Good article status, under locations. -- Casmith_789 (talk) 15:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

New Wales Coast Path WikiProject

As a member of WikiProject Wales, WikiProject Cardiff or an user who has contributed to Welsh articles we invite you to contribute to a new project, Living Paths!: articles, images, translations... Lonely Planet rated the coast of Wales "the best region on Earth" in 2012, yet there is a very low number of articles on the history and culture of places along the Coastal Path. This promises to be an exciting project as it gathers momentum with many Users joining in across the world.

If you are interested in training groups in Wales, please leave a message on the Talk Page. Let's make this WikiProject, like the path itself, the best on earth! And let's put Wales back on the map!

Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge

Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:59, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.
