Trams, mills, railways ... I think Isambard would have been proud of your approach particulary the French ideas, but he would have barred our veteran editor from further progression for supporting a railway that was merely a metre. But he's not here! So more seriously, thank you on behalf of the wiki. (Let me tell you though that the 100 one s a really cool yellowy gold colour).

As I told you at 50 ... the 100 DYK medal is a really cool shade of yellow. I hope you are not disappointed, as the wiki is not regretful at all of your efforts. Well done.

The 200 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal | |
The D.Y.K. Project thanks you for your tireless contributions. The Interior (Talk) 17:48, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply] |
Thank you for thanking me. I actually noticed only one of the typos, but I use Firefox and it apparently spellchecks everything by default. When I went into edit mode, not only was the error I noticed underlined with a wavy line, so were other things. I had to sort out the genuine mistakes from a lot of "false positives"; I hope I didn't change anything that was right.
You are obviously a very active contributor to Wikipedia. I am mostly a consumer -- I benefit from the work you and others like you do. Thank you very much.
I have no idea whether this is the right place for this comment. You replied to my talk page and this is your talk page, so I hope it is. If not, you will move it. Gms3591 (talk) 07:21, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, mj, I was hoping you might be able to take a look at the 2012 Formula One season and Talk:2012 Formula One season pages. A user, Colinmotox11 has been making some edits that have been disruptive. I posted a message on his Talk page that I think is a fair summary of the events of the past 24 hours. Basically, he has been making unsubstantiated edits to the page, ignoring preliminary consensus on the issue, undoing any subsequent reversions, using contradictory arguments to justify it and accusing members who disagree with him of violating WP:OWN. While his intentions are good - he only wants to make the page accurate - his methods and his attitude are completely unnecessary. I don't know if there is anything you or the other administrators can do, but I don't think we've heard the last of him on this matter. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 06:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, mj, sorry to bother you again, but can you please take a look at Colinmotox11 again? He's trying to force through changes to the 2012 Formula One season by claiming he has got consensus for them, but reading over the arguments posted on the talk page, it's clear that consensus is against him: four people support his changes, and seven do not. Can you please do something about this, because he's dangerously close to violating the three-edit rule.
Furthermore, I feel that his edits set a dangerous precedent. His footnotes in the driver table essentially create a scenario where the table says one thing, and then he gets out of it by saying something else entirely at the bottom of the table, explaining why content should not be included in the article.

I'm uninvolved with whatever quarrel is going on over the article currently at Action of 25 January 2012, but the absurdity of this title has come up in at least two discrete ITN discussions. Would you mind at least giving it some vaguely identifiable name until those warring can work out their differences? I know that's going against protocol, but in this situation anything other than the status quo seems like a clear common sense exception. — C M B J 08:01, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are problems with your suggestion- which is the reason I haven't done it. There is a discussion forum Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates that is discussing the whole thing. The crux is that many people are unhappy if the link goes to one site, no matter how useful, and believes that the link should only go to GeoHack, where the reader can choose the map they want. There are a lot of unhappy people there. I have a problem with the way we are doing the conversion. It looks great, but if we edit either gridref or the location then the other doesn't change. In looking for a solution, I have been looking at the maths and a lot doesn't add up, this coupled with the volatility of forum, I have been hanging back.

Thanks for the reminder. Although I use OS maps within multimap to find things, multimap gives DMS output, and the numbering of the OS gridlines in the display tends to be hidden; so I tend to think I'm not ever going to use {{oscoor}}. However your intervention did cause me to go back and read the national grid system article, so as to understand the resolution of various lengths of OS coordinate. As I would not have done this without your intervention; thanks! --Tagishsimon (talk) 15:41, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, There seems to be a small inaccuracy in the translation of OSGB coords to WGS84. I've mentioned it here and here but haven't found anyone who might be able to fix it. Do you know where it would be best to raise it, please?--Cavrdg (talk) 20:45, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I did not like having to display grid refs without spaces. At long last I have got round to asking someone and doing this very simple edit. The php that it calls was already prepared to receive spaces. That means you could do this edit to other articles that call oscoor (which is now a redirect). But certainly, I suggest using {{gbmappingsmall}} in any future case. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 18:59, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mjroots. I see you are a windmill expert. I have done some work on the locations for War Horse (film), and wonder if you could identify the windmill (?post mill) in the trailer? It appears at 1:29 trailer on YouTube. It's definitely in the UK as all location filming was done there; more than that I know not. I'm assuming it's not a built set as it would surely be cheaper to film at an existing one rather than build one. I know I'd have to find a RS to back up any identification information before putting it into the article, but if you can identify it, it might help me narrow down my search for suitable articles! Thanks Stronach (talk) 14:50, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What would be the best translation for Stichting De Fryske Mole? Most dictionaries say foundation, however in most Frisian windmill-related articles here it is translated as Frisian Mills Society. Trust would not be correct but I think is the British analogue to the Dutch stichting. My suggestion would be Frisian Mills Foundation. Reboelje (talk) 14:33, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As Camiroaga isn't legally dead, his body hasn't been found and at the moment is only "disappeared", I urge you to not mark his article as a recent death, nor to call him "dead". You are violating the biographies of living people policy by doing that, and additionally, you could be sued if Camiroaga turns out to be alive.

Please note I am the copyright holder of the main history book for Borough Green, Kent. I note that today I updated the link to the local history site. This had been hosted firstly on freeserve pages, more recently on tiscali. A lionk ( outdated_ to that site was on the wiki page.
Much of the content for the BG page comes from the booklet which is copyright. If you are not going to link to the pages where the history is now hosted I would be grafetul if you would remove the other information. Some of that is in the public domain. Some is copyright.
I fail to see why you have removed the link to the new site hosting anyway without any clear explanation.

Hello. I send you this message because I need assistance in one problem.

Mike I feel quite pleased with myself! I had found the relatively new Geobox|rivers at River Trent and investigated. You will now see the result at this article (I took an easy one first!). There may well be other information - I couldn't work out the coordinates, and in any case a river covers more than one; couldn't find the exact length; and dunno if there is anywhere to be able to get flow rates etc. You may well be able to add more tributaries - I took the ones you had alraedy mentioned under the mills. None of the blanks come out until you give some information. I had also discovered the exact location of the source - a historical document on the Medway; I'm sure you also know more about its course, although perhaps that isn't too important. Peter Peter Shearan (talk) 21:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As you see I have put two new symbols into your sandbox article. Just a quick fix. Using mills in this way is quite an extension. Come September we need to define what symbols we need- mills with weirs for example, millponds goits. I have been visiting the Dark Peak and realise how much more important water engineering was in the 1780s and the growth of the Cotton Industry. Still I am taking a break now.

fr:Fichier:LeteaMill.jpg is heel mooi! --ClemRutter (talk) 19:51, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This takes a little thought. I like diagrams- very useful for showing mill locations- but there is a convention on canals that navigable should be darkblue and non navigable light blue. The tails as steams meet the river seem clunky. I have been concerned about the representation of reservoirs for some time- is a reservoir navigable or not- how do you show the dam bypass channel. In the simple case: a truncated salami would do- but they often are constructed at the confluence of several rivers. A lot of icons need some thought- and that will take a little time- I will put it on the list. (Some mills are on the wrong bank but that is minor). --ClemRutter (talk) 11:56, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To be positive: it is getting there. A few of your changes I don"t like. A river is a hydrographical item, as well as cultural one. The first uncollapsed diagram needs to stand in its own right, and give the reader basic infomation about its course. The collapsed bits need to show the twidddly bits, that the Teise at Yalding has bifurcated, and where mills were situated. When the course is a navigation we need info on the locks. Background colour needs to show whether the river is tidal, a navigation, or non-navigable. The section names are taken from the NRA, and are used by the waterways community- I don't think Lower Mid Upper is really informative. The whole diagram (uncollapsed) needs to be complete and informative in itself. I think that we should do another round of rollbacks and improvement then wrap it in a template and ask the WP:RIVERS for comment on any points where policy decisions need to be made. I would like to use it as a model to be attached to their policy page. I then want to code up the River Etherow, Irk, Irwell, Medlock, Goyt can't you just smell the cotton. --ClemRutter (talk) 13:08, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

True. There is a limit to the sort of ship you can drive under Rochester Bridge. I think the commissioner of HM Dockyard would agree with me.

Hi. I notice you have updated the River Waveney map, but was a little surprised to see that it now runs from south to north. One of the problems of the transposition is that several of the adjoining rivers are now shown on the wrong side. Oulton Broad should be on the other side, as should the River Yare, and the Haddiscoe cut is no longer clearly labelled. I was going to try to sort it out but am a bit short of time at the moment.

I added Crescent City (of great interest to treasure seekers) and placed the cites on the talk page. I assume that it was valid to add this one, strictly speaking she foundered on the return leg of her first voyage. Lugnad (talk) 19:03, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You undid my edit on the 2010 European Grand Prix because I changed the flag to European one from Spanish one. I think it is better to put the European one, because it is officially named the European Grand Prix. Of course, there is a Spanish Grand Prix, but all other races have their respective flags, bar this one. M-R-Schumacher (talk) 14:55, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mjroots
I thought you might be interested in joining this new project Wikipedia:WikiProject Water sports/RNLI task force, as you have contributed to articles concerning Lifeboats and shipping stavros1 ♣
Please do not include blank pre-set sections. A wikipedia article should be ready to be read with whatever information is current at any point in its life. If you are going to 'set up' articles for future expansion, use hides to remove the blank headings from view of those who step into the article for a look prior to its expansion. Just a touch of professional presentation. --Falcadore (talk) 07:59, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Mj,
I've come to you before with a couple of requests, and I'm hoping you can help me out with another one. A few recent developments have lead regular contributors over at WP:F1 to belive that it is time to create a page for the 2013 Formula One season. However, the page has been pre-emptively created half a dozen times in the past, and admins have prevented the page from being created until it is unlocked; we are 18 months away from the start of the 2013 season, and by comparison, the 2012 page was created almost three years in advance. I am hoping you will be able to open up the ability to create the 2013 page, or at least direct me to someone who can if you do not have that happy power, please.

My apologies. I didn't realize you had found the ships in question via Plimsoll. However, instead of bringing the builder into the mix, it would be far simpler to just give the trawler an ST (steam trawler) prefix. Manxruler (talk) 07:09, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please, before undoing my edits by saying that the source says otherwise, reread the source. The source for Lotos clearly said September 1940, not 1939. I'm aware of the fact that I said the ship went down in November 1940 in my edit summary, but still, please check the facts before undoing. Manxruler (talk) 16:12, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing irritates me more than editors like you scoffing at other editors telling them what they should be doing. In fact you've probably deterred Rosie from bothering with these now when the topic is so poorly covered half decent stubs on them is the way to go. Virtually all articles Rosie creates are easily start class articles and well on their way to GA quality. Just look how many decent DYKs she has. Why the hell shouldn't she or I create a few referenced stubs every now and again? If the articles can't be expanded later we wouldn't start them. Not every is like you and wishes to only create an article at GA quality. I personally try to balance my editing between higher quality start-GA class new articles and stub building using sources and some content. You do not, but it is not your place to order others when there is nothing wrong with sourced stubs. As for prodding/notability that's absolute rubbish, a google book search proves this. Just let people get on with it please. Thanks a lot.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:01, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Mjroots. Thanks for stopping by my talkpage and leaving your note. It's always heartening to know someone is reading what I write. I'm happy working on historic houses and their coverage can be improved on wikipedia by starting with a referenced stub. Something I am very proud of, and an example of my stub work, was the creation of hundreds of Nunavut geo stubs -- islands, lakes, bays, etc. -- later, not originally, having infoboxes, templates, stub tags, etc. I'm also a prolific writer of start, B, and C class articles. Those that got to dyk speak for themselves. For specific examples of my writing style, you can browse through my articles creation list, or dyk list, accessed from my userpage. As for the English and French historic country house stubs that I created yesterday, please give the articles a bit of time to expand. If you look at the edit history of the Nunavut geo stubs created in 2008, you'll see that they started off small but by now, several other editors have worked on each of them, adding this and that, making each of the articles informative and lovely, IMHO, while remaining a stub. I'm quite sure that in time, the country house articles that some of us are working on will be lovely, too, even if they remain a stub. As I'm an experienced editor, and an Admin as you pointed out, your remarks on my talkpage won't deter me from the work I'm doing on country houses. But other editors might feel differently if they received a similar note on their talk page. What a shame that would be... especially if they're a female (might be obvious from my username that I'm a woman) and felt hurt by the criticism of their editing, it being so unsatisfactory that there's the possibility of PROD or AFD. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:05, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mick, I'm posting this here as I think that if I post on your talk page it won't stay. The arbitration case will be closed soon and you know what the outcome will be. As others have said, you do make positive contributions to Wikipedia. The result of the case is not one of "chuck 'im out and nail the door shut behind him". The door can be opened if you want it to be, but you'll need to work at getting it open. Any ban imposed is only from en-Wiki. There are other wikis available, such as Simple or foreign language wikis. There is also Commons. If you are able to do good work there, without getting involved in all the drama, then that would assist in any request to return to en-Wiki should you wish to do so. Whatever happens, I wish you the best for the future. Mjroots (talk) 06:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,
I would like to make a complaint about User:L1v3rp00l, for the following reason - they simply undo all my edits (see Arriva North West article) and then puts exactly what I've written but in his own way. It is really starting to get very frustrating, because I do not like people undoing my work and then doing this, it seems they obviously have a problem with me and I would like it to be sorted out before it gets out of hand.
It basically feels like the page has to be done to how they want and nobody's constructive edits are worth anything. It is disheartening to be quite honest.
I don't see what their problem is to be quite honest, but if possible could it be rectified ASAP? Thanks. JamesSteamPacket (talk) 22:45, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I really wish those interested in attacking me would put more effort into improving the quality of what is written on Wikipedia. That newbie needed help. As a non-American I had never heard of the nominee, so couldn't help. Nobody who could help, the Americans who wanted it posted (possibly quite justifiably), did help. WTF was their goal? It was attacking me. It wasn't improving Wikipedia. That was my goal. HiLo48 (talk) 10:52, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re your edit summaries when reverting vandalism, please don't do it in all caps, it's the equivalent of shouting. RVV (or rvv) is adequate for an edit summary there.

Dear Mjroots,
EGovMoNet was recently deleted from Wikipedia. I was still in the process of improving it when that happened and had not had enough time to recuperate the content for later reuse. So I asked Athaenara, who had deleted the article, to give me the opportunity to retrieve the latest version. Reading the logs, I am confused. Does this mean that you deleted the article after Athaenara had restored it? I still have not had the chance to retrieve the latest version before the article disappeared. Can you please help me?

Hello! XavierGreen (the article's creator / the only editor who didn't want to change the title) has indicated on the talk page that he doesn't oppose a move to Rescue of Jessica Buchanan and Poul Hagen (the title that's received the most support so far). Given the now-unanimous agreement for a move, can we please unprotect the page and tentatively proceed (with the understanding that discussion can continue)? It isn't certain that we'll ultimately settle on that particular title, but it is clear that the current title is overwhelmingly opposed. —David Levy 17:48, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mjroots. This brings up an important, fundamental, point. Are newspaper stories from the Second World War-period reliable sources for details of events that happened back then? Having worked with such sources during my studies, and The Times specifically, I'd say no. Newspapers and such are not the best of sources today, and during the war years, with propaganda and censorship and all, it was worse. The Times wrote that SSMonte Rosa was sunk in an air attack, should we believe that? I know you've used The Times frequently, but you must surely agree that as a source for factual information (unlike its possible use as a source of how things were portrayed in the media back then) it leaves a lot to be desired. And when said source claims that Alster was a troopship (it wasn't) and that it carried among other things, toys, I'm deeply skeptical. She carried hay and coke to conceal her military cargo, why should she also have carried cigarettes and toys? What do you think? Manxruler (talk) 17:30, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Being annoyed about not getting to the library in time, I checked my personal library and discovered I've own plenty of books covering the ship. Work commencing now. Two issues: 1. Why is the page numbers missing from the The Empire Ships book? 2. Is Empire Endurance really the right title for this article? She was only called that c. 10 months and didn't really do much out of the ordinary, other than being sunk. Manxruler (talk) 21:53, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re- your long pending request for archival references, I suggest I post a citation for my recent article on 'Cold War Whaling' in POLAR RECORD. That contains 20+ onward citations of items at the UK National Archives. I'm afraid that working through every Vikingen/Viking whale catcher on the page in order to supply direct citations would be too much for me. There is also a problem with adding citations to the page as a whole, because it covers so many vessels. Thanks, Nargoon (talk) 09:59, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You made a mess of things, leaving Gorkovka in the article and reinstating info that the crash happened 30 km away from the airport. First of all, take a look on a map, using the coords or on Wikimapia.org, at 1 nm south east of the runway -- you will see Gorkovka, the village, right there. Also on wikimapia someone in Russian identified the place of the crash. I highly doubt the veracity of the Russian sources. Aviation Herald mentions them, by the way, but still gives the crash site coordinates and a graphic at 1 nm downwind. Our USA Today source also gives Tyumen as localization of the crash.
