[edit] Bodmin Moor

Could you add some information on the source of this picture to the image page (you click on the picture in the article to get there). Also how large is this object? Rmhermen 00:14, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)

Hi the Cheesewring is 7 metres in height: The photograph is my own taken on holiday in Cornwall in September 2003.

Hey Mick. Thanks for starting the Kelso Abbey article. Welcome along :-) Adambisset 13:49, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image tags

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you very much for the images you are contributing to Wikipedia, you seem to have a very impressive collection of images. One thing that would be of service would be if you could specify which license you are releasing the pictures under. The most common license is the GFDL, to release an image under the GFDL simply add {{GFDL}} to each image's page. A list of other possible licenses and tags can be found at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Below is a list of the images you have uploaded. If you have a couple minutes it would be much appreciated if you could add copyright tags to them. - SimonP 21:08, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Did you know has been updated
and a fact from the article Polperro, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you have another interesting fact to submit, then please suggest it at the section's talk page.

[edit] Bedale

Thanks for supplying the picture of Bedale. Ta very much! Borderer 15:12, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Conwy Railway Bridge

Excellent photo - it add a great deal to the article. I travel over the bridge almost weekly but the train never provides a good view of the bridge. Velela 20:45, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Roger De Vlaeminck

Hello I'm French and I ave used your picture of Roger De Vlaeminck for the French encyclopedia. Could you say me in which Paris-Roubaix this picture was taken ? Thank you and sorry for my english. fr:Utilisateur:Antoinel

I have added the same photo to the dutch wiki about Roger De Vlaeminck and would like to know the details aswell. If you can provide them off course ;-) 82.157.156.158 19:05, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC) nl:Gebruiker:NielsB

[edit] Eskdale photos

Hey Mick,

Great photos of Eskdale. I used to stay at Penny Hill Farm as a kid and it was really nice to see the photo of Harter Fell. Even after spending time in the Alps, Eskdale is still a beautiful place.

Regards, Keith

[edit] Coldstream Bridge

Hey! :) I really really like your photos... I found one of them that justabout fitted my new article at Coldstream Bridge, but I wondered if you had one that featured more on the (very interesting) bridge and less on the Tweed? If you did it would be fantastic, if not, I am sure we can make do with the current one. Thanks a lot for all your work on the British geography articles! --TheGrappler 22:47, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The new picture is now in place at Coldstream Bridge, thanks a lot! :) --TheGrappler 00:00, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Berwick Bridge and Royal Tweed Bridge

Again, thanks for the photos! I don't suppose you have one for the Royal Border Bridge too? That's the Victorian railway viaduct carrying the East Coast Mainline over the Tweed - it's a pretty dramatic sight, but I haven't been able to find a free photograph for it! Thanks, TheGrappler 16:26, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You asked too early. There now is at least one, see Commons:Image:Royal Border Bridge 2001-01-07.jpg for instance.--Klaus with K 17:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mark V

Hallo Mick! Very nice article about Bovington Tank Museum! And very, very nice pictures. Especially the one of the Mark V! Could you possibly put it (or any other of course :o) on WikiCommons also? There's a number of foreign language wikiprojects that would benefit greatly from the inclusion of your gorgeous picture(s). WWI vehicles are quite rare and it's difficult to obtain photos of them. Thanks anyhow,--MWAK 3 July 2005 14:25 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts! I've already put them to good use.--MWAK 4 July 2005 18:07 (UTC)


My congrats on the pics too! I was worried that whenI'm down there later in the year, I'd have to drag my wife round the place photgraphing everything that wasn't already on wikipedia. Just one question, the TOG2, for a reference point, how tall is the little person (your grand-daughter?)in front of itGraemeLeggett 4 July 2005 19:22 (UTC)

[edit] Roger De Vlaeminck - part II

Could you please provide more information about the photo you have uploaded about Roger De Vlaeminck? If you dont have any information, please say so. nl:gebruiker:NielsB

After consulting with my father he seems to think that it is the 1978 edition of Paris-Roubaix - Mick Knapton
Thank you very much! I will add this info to the photo on the dutch wiki. 22:26, 4 August 2005 (UTC) NielsB

[edit] Eskdale

Sincere apologies for removing your picture. I appreciate the effort you went to in taking it (hard to get to valley is Eskdale!) and I guess I just forgot that you can have two pictures in the same article! I think your picture is better, come to think of it I'm not even siure if my picture's of Eskdale at all!

Thanks for not deleting the other picture. Actually I got it from this website. They aim to have a photo from every 1km grid square in Britain, and all the images are licensed as Creative Commons Attribution, so they are suitable for copying onto wikipedia. Apologies for forgetting to license it. --Mark J 15:43, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Paris-Tours

Why didn't you just use "292 km" on your new map at Paris-Tours? The objection wasn't to your use of a symbol; it was to your use of the improper symbol "KM". While there are situations in which the spelled out word can be capitalized, it looks ugly here, and even spelled out would be better with a lowercase k. But since this differs from the rules that the symbols are case sensitive, I won't revert it, just letting you know that it could be better. The shading on this new version is also too dark for my tastes. Gene Nygaard 17:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Royal Border Bridge

Many thanks for the photo. This is a very late reply, haven't had time to log on to Wiki since I started teacher-training! Your photo collection is a great contribution to Wikipedia. :-) TheGrappler 19:18, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Harrison Stickle and Branstree

Nice photos, thanks for telling me about them. Happy New year! Grinner 11:26, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Supertram liveries

Hi! Seeing as there have now been a couple of changes of livery, perhaps it would be good to add a section to the supertram article on the various liveries that have been used. This would then be a good place to put photos that illustrate each livery. I found this photograph that illustrates the original livery, but I'm sure that there are more out there.

[edit] Lake District fells

Just a word of thanks about the Lake District fells you've added over time - you write really nice articles with excellent picture. Keep it up! Grinner

[edit] Kisdon Force

Brilliant article. I've nommed it for WP:DYK, hope you don't mind. Your photos are superb, and belie the rumour that the sun never shines in the UK. ++Lar: t/c 21:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Demolition Article

Well Mick, I am not finished with the demolition article. I am about to add a couple more pictures to the article, including yours. The reason I removed yours is because it is very difficult to see the excavator in your picture. Congrats on getting a pic of a long-reach excavator though, I am sill searching for one to take a pic of. KeepOnTruckin 20:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Look at it now; is that good?

[edit] Image license

Hi Mike, I've found that there's a "broken" file, a photo made by you. Could you please add more information (date perhaps?) and a license to Image:The Cheesewring 2.jpg (cf. history), so that it won't get deleted? Thanks a lot, nice shot :-) --Ü 23:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mick,
You're not treading on my toes at all. There's loads to do so we appreciate your help wherever you can give it. When you create articles relating to Sheffield Wednesday please could you add the tag {{WPSWFC}} to the top of the article's talk page. This automatically adds it to Category:WikiProject Sheffield Wednesday articles and makes it easier to keep track of the articles covered by the WikiProject.
I've added a paragraph to the Peter Swan article about his short managerial career at Matlock Town. As far as I am aware he did not manage any other clubs, but if you know different please add them to the article.

[edit] Central Fells

Hello. I've started adding some of the missing fells, and seen your fine work all over the District. I was wondering if you have any photos handy for the central fells I've started? I only seem to walk in the kind of weather that means I need a GPS just to find my sandwiches. Two more centrals to go and then I'm planning to move east of Kirkstone for a bit. One thing that strikes me as a newcomer to this wiki lark, is that there's several Wainwright formats out there already. I copied one that seemed prevalent, only to find it wasn't particularly. Once all the articles are up and running presumably all interested parties can agree on a standard beauty treatment?Bobble Hat 22:04, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, cracking pictures.Bobble Hat 22:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Central Fells again!

I've started adding a template for wainwright's central fells to the relevent ones and discussed this with bobble hat earlier (as you've probably seen). Sorry I didnt put a note on your talk page then. Do you think the templates ok? and importantly, i guess, is the format suitable for using on the other areas etc? Thanks Suicidalhamster 11:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wednesday Players

I would love to have a short section on Wednesday legends, but I don't think that the 100 greatest players list would work. A poll among Wikipedians would be considered OR and/or POV. What we could do is include a list of players from an already established poll such as the legends section on the official website. Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 13:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar
A well deserved virtual award for your outstanding work on British hills and the excellent photographs which accompany them. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I noticed Ben More Assynt at new articles because I remembered it being missing. A really fine article, and great pictures, so I had a peek through your contribs and I'm really impressed. The photography is excellent - I think Image:Stob Ban (Mamores) from Sgurr a' Mhaim.jpg is my favourite out of your recent uploads. Best wishes, Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:28, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion of Ben More Assynt

Hey, what was wrong with my changes? I don't think I took anything away (apart from the derivation of 'Assynt', which I explained in the edit summary); I just moved stuff around so it was better organised, with a concise lead and sections arranged thematically per the Manual of Style, and added a few pieces of information and/or clarified some points. Please don't feel offended - you wrote a great article, I was just trying to make it clearer for the general reader. If there were any specific things you think were out of order (in either sense!) then by all means put them right or address the matter on the talk page, but why the wholesale reversion? --Blisco 13:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[From User talk:Blisco] The article was on the main page for most of Saturday (not nominated by me), everybody else seemed quite happy with it, did small changes and I received some plaudits, until you decided to give it a major overhaul. Thats the reason I was not happy as you had done something similar with Sgurr na Lapaich. If this is your policy for your so called "Key Mountains" than I think I'll leave them alone and concentrate on other Munros and Wainwrights. Mick Knapton 22:53, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Mick, first of all please don't take any of my edits as criticism. I really think you're doing a great job with the articles you're creating. Ben More Assynt in particular covered just the sort of information I think these articles should – topography, geology, wildlife, ascent routes – exactly the things we were discussing. My 'overhaul' was a sincere and good-faith attempt to present the information in a clearer way, as well as adding a few extra bits of information. True, it was a lot of changes at once, and some of them (e.g. putting commas in 4-digit numbers) were not at all necessary, but that's just the way I prefer to work. As I said above, I didn't take anything out, and made fairly few changes to the actual wording. I honestly believe that it's now among the best articles we've got on British hills (which is not a bad achievement for an article 5 days old), and most of the effort is yours.
Please remember that no one can claim ownership of an article on Wikipedia. As it says on the edit page, "If you don't want your material to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it". This is a collaborative project, and we're all meant to be working together to improve the encyclopedia. That's why I set up the WikiProject in the first place – to try and define some common goals and practices, rather than just working away at our own areas of interest. The fact that other users say nice things about an article in a particular state doesn't mean that it can't be improved beyond that state - Wikipedia is in a constant process of improvement.
You haven't told me what aspects of my overhaul you didn't like. Do you not like articles divided into sections? (Read the Manual of Style and you'll find it recommended over and over again.) Do you think I was wrong to order things the way I did? (To which I say fair enough, there's no one right way to do it.) Are you offended by changes to your writing style? Did you not like the tone of my edit summary on Sgurr na Lapaich? (If so then I apologise; it was perhaps a bit abrupt, though I stand by the principle – this is an encyclopedia after all.) Or do you get the impression that I'm stalking your edits? If the latter (which I suspect is the case), the truth is that I just happened to notice that you'd created them, was pleased, and thought they could be made even better with a bit of copy-editing and sectioning. In any case, but especially the latter, reverting another editor's hard work without any explanation is not the way forward. If you were offended, then so was I.
As for "my so called 'key mountains'", they're not "mine" any more than the article in question is "yours". The idea came from Ras52, and I created the page following discussion and, I thought, consensus (or at least no objections); it just so happens that so far I've put most of the effort (not all) into classifying them. If you disagree with the principle, perhaps you should say so on the project talk page? And my only "policy" is for all articles, but especially these, to be of the highest quality. I'm interested in all our hills, I want to help create a quality encyclopedia, and I'll edit any article I like. If you don't want me to touch any articles you created then say so, but I'd ask you to consider whether that's in the spirit of Wikipedia. Thanks, Blisco 20:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Far Eastern Fells

Mick, there is at least the basis of an article about all of them now. Had a bit of a shock one evening when I decided to research the next missing fell. Preped up on Wansfell, logged on and found you'd written it about 10 minutes before. All a bit surreal, but yours was better anyway. I don't suppose you have any more pictures? Book 1 next.Bobble Hat 16:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Good news about the photos. No complaints about Wansfell, its just that I'd only been gone about half an hour, so I'm sat here thinking 'I did look, I'm sure I did, how did I not notice that there's a full article with pictures?' Quite funny, once you realise you haven't gone round the bend.Bobble Hat 22:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gaelic pronounciation

Thanks for the tip about Sgurr na Ciste Dhuibhe. I have tried to render it at least partially into IPA. I have to admit I have mixed feelings about IPA, as I think while it is internationally recognised, it can be about as widely understood as Klingon or Esperanto! I wish English wikipedia would agree to a dual pronounciation guide, i.e. one for the linguists, and another for ordinary mortals. The other problem is that there are a few unusual sounds in Gaelic which don't occur in too many other languages, so finding a reference point can be difficult. --MacRusgail 16:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Sheffield Wednesday

Hi Mick,

Just a quick note to let you know that after months of neglect, I am currently working on rennovating WPSWFC. I have already set up 1.0 assessment which should help to identify articles that need work and I'll also be compiling a fresh list of football biography articles that are needed, so feel free to check back in a week or so and help out if you have any spare time!

Cheers, Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 18:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the list of Sheffield Wednesday players is far from complete, so if you notice any missing feel free to add them to the list. I'll be trying to add to it shortly as well as compiling a list of red links and ranking them by priority, so there will be plenty to do! Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 13:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Miguel Poblet.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Miguel Poblet.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gondola Photo

Can I ask when you took the photo of the Gondola on Coniston?

I might be able to identify the helmsman. I do know that the engineer is Dick Ransome, grandson of Arthur Ransome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BigglesPiP (talk • contribs) 23:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Dates are close, I'm about 90% sure the helmsman is my father; Alan Dawson. - - - BigglesPiP ( Talk | Contribs ) 19:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
