Harrison Stickle and Branstree

Hiya just though you'd like to know I've found a couple of photos for the above articles, so I'll leave it to you to put them in the info boxes. BTW thanks for putting info boxes for my mountain/hill articles, looks neat. I've got a hell of a lot of photos of the Scottish Munros the trouble is they are on 35mm and not digital. If I get a scanner at some time I'll perhaps write a few Munro articles. Regards and Happy New Year Mick Knapton 11:11, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Geograph template

In case you didn't already know, this template makes Geograph uploading a lot easier. (copied across from my talk)

I echo the above. Please use {{geograph}}. Why? As a courtesy to the people at geograph and as aid to reducing double posting - of which I have found a number of examples today. Also when posting to the commons, please use standard interwiki links not external ones and when posting anywhere, please use standard date format - so that each user sees dates formatted to their liking (see your last two uploads to the commons). -- RHaworth 23:27, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tunnock's

I'm seriously the face of Tunnock's. Maybe you're just jealous.

football

The Victorian Rules folk ar trying to claim that Aussie Rules is an Australian variety of the game when it is very distinctly a Victorian variation of the football and was codified in Victoria many years before the beginning of Australia. If you share the same opinion I would love for you to come to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Football and give your opinion.

All the best

I can't honestly say that I have an opinion on the matter, I know very little about Australia! Grinner 10:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chew Valley Lake FAC

Hi, I've resubmitted Chew Valley Lake as a featured article candidate, because it didn't receive enough support last time.

As you have edited this page in the past I wondered if you would be willing to visit and comment/support on the nomination? Rod 20:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, it looks pretty good to me. Grinner 13:35, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"External links" vs. "External link"

I can see nothing in the Manual of Style mandating the use of a plural form when there is only one link. Try reading Wikipedia:External_link#.22External_links.22_vs_.22External_link.22 for more information. Grinner 16:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see Wikipedia:External_link#External links" vs "External link" also doesn't mandate the use of the singular, reporting that "There is currently no consensus on which is better". I hadn't realised this was the case, so thanks for alerting me to it. The link I botched my mention of in the edit summary was to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), specifically #Standard headings and ordering. In the case of Swinside, I've solved the problem by adding another link. Best wishes, David Kernow 17:07, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lake District fells

Ta for the encouragement. Got a few more planned in the next few weeks. Regards Mick Knapton 22:49, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism accusation

Hi Grinner, I am really concerned about a history log that implicitly accuses me of vandalism. Details on my talk page. Viewfinder 18:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scottish mountain pronunciation

Hi, I'm hoping to revise and correct the IPA pronunciation of Scottish mountains. It looks as if you did most of these - I'm guessing you used the codes at User:Grinner/Pronunciation and a list of mountains with pronunciation guides? Trouble is, this list assumes RP English pronunciation, and there are many sounds in Gaelic (and even standard Scottish usage) which don't exist in RP and vice versa. Best examples are [æ] (Scottish usage is [a]), and [ɹ] (should be the trilled form [r] - using [ɹ] before a consonant or at the end of a word sounds like an American or West Country accent). I reckon I can work out the correct transcription for most of them, but could you let me know where you got your pronunciations from - is there a list online somewhere? I don't know much about Gaelic, just have a fairly good idea of the pronunciation and a grounding in IPA, and may need help from an expert for some of them. I've made a list of hills that may need changing at User:Blisco/Gaelic - if you can add any to it then feel free. Many thanks, Blisco 11:19, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deprecated mtnbox templates

Hi. I've noticed you have added templates to a number of mountains/hills in the UK. These templates have been deprecated in favour of Template:Infobox Mountain. If you could begin using this infobox instead of the old mtnbox templates, that would be great. BTW, thanks for your help in adding infoboxes. RedWolf 21:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
