Any chance you can start to incorporate the excellent things you added to the talk page to the article? Fiddle Faddle 07:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Fiddle Faddle, I now live in Belgium and contact with Pwllheli is tenuous. I have contributed (a very little)- to the Mynytho and Llanbedrog pages, and consider the information on the Pwllheli page to be pretty sparse as well. Part of the trouble is gathering existing information together: for example there is an interesting item about Pwllheli on a website about British work houses. There is primary source information in the county records office, but one would have to make a systematic synthesis of it. Pwllheli used to have a cattle market, an abattoir and a gasometer. There was some light engineering and a machine tool workshop in the town at one time. Penlan Fawr, the pub, is a very old building and of local historical interest, but you need a local historian to write it up. Another problem is that much of the secondary source material is in Welsh, and my Welsh is unfortunately only very basic. The history of the chapels is a story crying out to be written and probably exists in Welsh, alas English visitors tend to ignore it.

My suggestions on the talk page are just that, an expression of a hope that somebody local might be sufficiently inspired to add a few words of their own. Regards Augusta2 01:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah well, it is my hope, too. I was last there in the mid 1970s. Fiddle Faddle 07:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How come we haven't seen you around on cy.wikipedia.org? (It's more fun than here...) Deb (talk) 12:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Deb. Thanks for the invite but I'm afraid my knowledge of Welsh is insufficient to be of much use for editing Welsh pages. Hwyl from Belgium. Augusta2 (talk) 18:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You'd be surprised - we need all the help we can get. Incidentally, do you live anywhere near Ypres? Deb (talk) 22:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Deb, my Welsh is really very very basic. It's a shame as I did a "cwrs ulpan" (inspired by Dan Lynn James of fond memory) many years ago at Aberystwyth and there was a time that I hoped to become quite competent. I have been living in Antwerp since 1974 and have slowly forgotten my Welsh, although I have acquired Dutch, French, some Spanish and a basic knowledge of German. I do know Ypres (Ieper)although it's a two hour drive from here. My connection with Wales runs through the Penrhos (near Pwllheli) and if Sanders Lewis hadn't burnt down the bombing range I probably wouldn't be writing these words.

		Interested in ports-related articles?
		I notice you recently made some improvements to the Port of Antwerp article, and I thought you may be interested to know there is a WikiProject working to improve articles about port-related topics. Your help would be greatly appreciated on similar articles, so please consider joining WikiProject Ports. Euryalus (talk) 00:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome. Far from being a restriction, your expertise with Antwerp and other European ports will be invaluable. I'm in the Pacific so my first-hand experience is with Asian and Australian ports, and Europe only via industry publications. Technical "translation" is also a great skill - there's plenty of ports data to work with online but most of it is impenetrable to a passing reader.

Given your work on Antwerp, I'd be interested in your views on a standard layout for future ports articles. I proposed something off the cuff at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ports but trial and error with some Indonesian port articles suggests it needs more work. Any thoughts?

A tag has been placed on Centrale der Werkgevers aan de Haven van Antwerpen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

To WikiProject Ports members:

I've proposed that WP:PORTS be rebadged as a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport. I think this would increase the pool of ports editors and help us expand our article range and quality. But that's just my view - please feel free to offer yours. The discussion is here, comments or criticisms welcomed. Euryalus (talk) 12:17, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Llanbedrog, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Patrick (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Timber framing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nogging (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Oops, not aware that the nogging page was a disambiguation page. The link will have to point to the construction section of infill (unsatisfactory to my mind). Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 14:30, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:56, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.} 02:22, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Hallo, the disambiguation page should only hold entries for information which already exists in Wikipedia articles, either a whole article or a section of one. So I've removed your addition to this page, but you could try creating a stand-alone page, or a section in an appropriate, page, and then add a disambiguation link to it. Thanks.
