Erm... and 55 others related to the Cardiff Bus service articles. If you are happy for me to simply add the name of the image as the descriptor for all of these files (56 off the list :p), just leave me a "You could have done that without cluttering up my talk page, you Scottish git..." message. Either here, or there... :) Best wishes --Haruth (talk) 14:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

No problems. I'll get on to that. The 55 others are images of the route numbers. Best wishes --Haruth (talk) 00:29, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

cardiff arcades

I don't know if you know Cardiff, but the media Wales (S Wales echo) article was a lie (or at least the curzon rep was lieing), as many buisness have closed down in recent months and few reopening, and no expanding, You can see for your self. He provided no figures. I only changed that no evedence was provided to back up the claims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.215.85 (talk) 10:49, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Rhymney River

Hi Welshleprechaun

I've replied on my talk page but thought I'd drop you a line here anyway. Previously numerous articles linked to either River Rhymney or Rhymney River. I've been editing the River Rhymney's into Rhymney River's to ensure some consistency. I agree that the word order is unusual for a British river name and I can only immediately think of its two neighbours the Sirhowy River and the Ebbw River which follow this unusual line. If you do as I did, a Google search on this word order for any of the three, you'll get a much larger trawl of results for 'X River', similarly they are all named in this reverse fashion on Ordnance Survey maps.

all the best; Geopersona (talk) 20:31, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

IP Address

I see you gave him a warning - he has done so elsewhere if you could check (but I am up the 3 reverts and have a plane to catch) I am pretty sure its the young kid from Tongwynlas who has been banned before and comes back from time to time --Snowded ^TALK 17:01, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:08, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Hospices / hospitals

Apologies for not checking first. Are you OK with me adding children's hospices to your children's hospital navbox? I think it adds value but will create a separate navbox if you don't. --Simple Bob (talk) 13:03, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Economy of Cardiff template

We have to apply some discretion in this template, it will become meaningless if it is simply a list of every organisation in Cardiff (or for that matter, every event that has or will take place there). After all, the focus here is on the economy. Independent record labels can be as small as a micro-business or even a sole trader - there's little evidence that the ones we're debating are any bigger. These kinds of enterprise make absolutely trivial contributions to a local economy. A takeaway could employ more people and have a higher turnover! I have no objections to these garage labels appearing on a music or culture template (as long as they are notable within that context, and not just releasing music by unknown local bands) but they are out of place here.--Pondle (talk) 16:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Did you forget to add a license tag for this image when uploading.?

Wikipedia takes copyrights seriously, so images need to have an appropriate license tag

Libraries in Cardiff

Hello, Welshleprechaun. I've nominated this article by you for DYK on MainPage. Could you put in more refs and clarify in the article that the first public library in Cardiff, opened in 1861, was also the first in Wales, please? The ref currently used in the article is not that clear. To reply, you may want to post on the DYK nomination page here. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 12:41, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Ebbw Valley Line

Hiya, saw your news update on the Ebbw Valley Line. How depressing. It's not like the demand's not there. And half of it is paid for by the EU anyway. Still, there we are. I've been trying to find some details on the rolling stock used on the line. Do you have any sources? Daicaregos (talk) 10:55, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

List of tallest buildings in the United Kingdom

I'm glad that you're looking for compromise, but I still think that your line:

As of 2010, the majority of buildings taller than 100m are concentrated in London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester

is a little misleading. Of all the buildings on the list, three are in Manchester, two each in Leeds and in Liverpool, but a whopping 37 are in London! So it would be more reasonable to say:

As of 2010, the majority of buildings taller than 100m are concentrated in London.

In my view, it would be more sensible to return to the original simple line:

This is a list of the tallest buildings in the United Kingdom taller than 100 metres (330 ft).

The reader can then see for themselves what and where the buildings are.

BTW as far as this is concerned - well, neither of us exactly covered ourselves in glory in that little episode (I've never said that I was perfect) but I don't think it's particularly good example of bad faith on my part. I was sticking up for a long-standing MoS and supported by other editors on the talk page. Anyway, let's try to move past that and work constructively where we can. I sense that we are always going to have disagreements but Wikipedia isn't a place to hold grudges, we should discuss differences, as we are doing now.--Pondle (talk) 17:20, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Caldicot & Chepstow rail stations

Hi Like your map of South Wales railway stations but Caldicot and Chepstow are the wrong way around.

Nomination for deletion of Template:Major Central Libraries in the United Kingdom

They go round and round, you know.

• Wikipedia:WikiProject buses/UK bus route quality drive
• West Midlands Bristol Road bus corridor (AfD discussion)
• West Midlands Warwick Road bus Corridor (AfD discussion)

If you pick the names that the world already uses, and the scopes that it gives, for these things, three things will happen:

• You won't face accusations of original research.
• Instead of these things being obscure articles for a niche group of bus enthusiasts, they become important articles in human geography, dealing with the local transport geography of a major conurbation.
• As a consequence, you can probably rope in the railway article writers, cycling article writers, and human geographers from other WikiProjects to turn the articles from things that people dismiss as "just those bus geeks writing timetables" into what you could probably make, as long as you incorporated all of the human geography aspects, into GA or FA class articles on these various transport corridors.

Wales

I have put the Wales article forward for GA status. It just needs tweaking, and maybe a heavy-handed swipe from outside to get it in place. I am writing to those who are constant contributors and defenders of Wales and Welsh articles, to not scream at me for doing this, but to help get the article through. If we fail, we fail, there is nothing wrong with that; but Wales should be a Good Article at least and if it takes good intentioned amateurs to reach that then so be it. FruitMonkey (talk) 01:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Sport in Cardiff

I noticed that you changed the Welsh translation templates of the Cardiff leisure centres from ''{{lang|}}'' to ''{{lang-cy}}'. Before you change any other translations, I wanted to make sure you were aware of its effect: 1 it causes the word “Welsh” (linking to Welsh language) to appear before the each translation – an overlink. 2 the translation changes to normal script, rather than italics (as it should be). Do you think they should be changed back or should they stay as they are? Daicaregos (talk) 14:11, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wales

Hi Welshleprechaun,

Just wondered if you had seen the proposal to merge Welcome to Wales with the 2010 Ryder Cup??? SethWhales ^talk 19:28, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Edits

Hi - I am wondering how you are able to Rollback a number of edits at a time. I can't seem to be able to do it. If you could tell me how I can do it, it would be very helpful. Thanks. Jamie2k9 (talk) 23:05, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

File:Cardiff Leisure Centres.jpg

Hi there, just noticed this image that you created showing the locations of leisure centres in Cardiff has a mistake on it. You've placed the International Pool where St David's hotel is rather than in the Sports Village which is where it actually is. Also, Channel View isn;t a leisure centre, it's just a centre just like the STAR Centre. - Happysailor 10:56, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Sparks page

Hi Welshleprechaun,

Please can you let me know who you are (preferably outside Wiki) so I can discuss the Sparks page with you (I am assuming you are a fellow CRT26 member!). I have given much time and thought to creating this page and setting it up a certain way. I partly (not entirely) undid some of your recent revisions, and note that you have since completely unwound this! Doesn't seem a lot of point entering a game of Wiki revision tennis, I reckon we can come to an agreement as to what to put on the page. Please contact to discuss.

Thanks Trevor
