== Cofton  Hackett - EDIT SUMMARIES ==

While any  constructive contributions to  Wikipedia articles are most  welcome, on  7 September 2009 you  made around 40 (forty) consecutive edits to [[Cofton Hackett]] while only  two carried any  form  of '''edit summary'''. This makes it impossible for any  other editors to  review your work  and build upon them.--[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 07:49, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

== Malvern - GA nomination ==

::Hi Leonig !  We now have a first  review for GA. On  the whole it doesn't look too bad. As you know, I am a local resident'' in absentia'', and as a published author, a 'prose artist', but  anything you can do to  improve the language or address some of the more technical points as quickly  as possible would be much  appreciated. Any work on the new referencing system does not affect  the overall quality  and scope of the article for GA but you may be able to put put some of the wrong referencing things right and offer some suggestions on the other points made by  the reviewer. It  would be great for the Worcs project to have a GA of this envergure in its repertoire. See [[Talk:Malvern, Worcestershire#GA Review]] -  and Happy  New Year!--[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 06:00, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello {{PAGENAME}}! A non-British user seems to  be attempting to  suggest that the Brits are not  pronouncing  their own British  place names  correctly,  and appears to  believe that  it  is a policy of Wikipedia to  instruct  the Brits, through  the use of the [[IPA]], how [[British English]]  should be pronounced. He/she also  seems to be of the  opinion that it is Wikipedia policy to regard British English by default as a [[rhotic]]  language, which it is not.  Some British Wikipedians are trying to avoid an edit conflict and have requested my support. I have added my comments to the debate the non-British  user has  has started in  defence of his/her multiple, [[WP:BOLD]]? changes to IPA pronunciations of British place names. As a professional linguist I accord every  version  of English  its own particular merits and  my  position here strictly concerns the way in  which  the IPA is interpreted and applied in the Wikipedia, and how the current policy may need to be changed through a truly ''representative'' consensus. If you  would like to  help  resolve this issue,  please see [[User talk:Kudpung#IPA, RP, etc.]] and [[User talk:Lfh#Warwickshire]] to  get  the background. Maybe you could then chime in with  your views on the subject at [[Wikipedia talk:IPA for English#Rhoticity in place names]].  Thanks. --[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 18:38, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

==Welcome to the first [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire|WikiProject Worcestershire]] newsletter==
If you  are not  yet a member of the The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire|Worcestershire project]], you  are probably receiving  this because you  have significantly  contributed to  one of our pages. Now is the time to  consider joining - it  might help you get some assistance on a page you feel particularly attached to it.<br>
Someone once asked on the project  page if they  could get  a newsletter. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire|Worcestershire project]] only  has a few members and they  most  probably  have the project  pages and major articles on  their watchlists, but  here goes anyway...


;Great news for 2010!
This year has got  off to  great start  with  the promotion  of {{classicon|GA}}[[Malvern, Worcestershire]]{{classicon|GA}} to '''Good Article''' status. The GA review process was particularly strict and demanding, and a good thing  too, because it sets a benchmark for the quality to be targeted for other articles in  the project, even if we do  not  intend to  reach  GA with  them. Furthermore, and probably most important, this particular review clearly  demonstrated what can be achieved with teamwork, and it puts the page on a par with  biggies such as [[Manchester]],  one of the Wikipedia's flagship English settlement articles. Anyone can go ahead and create an article, and some articles have a major contributor, but it would have been impossible for Malvern to  have been promoted without the extraordinary collaborative effort of a dedicated few, spread across three continents in very different time zones, and sometimes tripping over each other at all times of the day and night  to  get  the article up  to  snuff.


;Recently  founded
Since the Worcs project  was founded   barely  seven months ago on  8 June last  year, in  addition  to  the creation and maintenance of  the project  pages themselves. a lot of work has already  been done by  the Worcs project  members, including the creation  of stubs for most of the missing  settlements  in  the county, creation and improvement  work on  Malvern Water, creation  and expansion  of articles on important  schools and one or two biographies in  the county, and general repetitive tasks such as keeping spam and vandalism  at  bay.


;Experts!
All the members of the project  have their own specialised fields of interest of course, such  as French wine, schools, Lancashire, the Malverns, cricket, Magnetic Resonance Imaging,  busses, castles,  waterways, or Spike Milligan. However, they all  have a common denominator somewhere that  brings them together in  Worcestershire.<br>
The Worcestershire project  mainly concerns settlements. Perhaps after the success of Malvern, the immediate priority  now is to  improve the articles that  really  ought  to  be the flagships of the project, namely  [[Worcester]], and [[Worcestershire]].  These two are, sadly, some of the articles in the worst state. They  have been created long ago and expanded over time by  a great many  shingle-edit authors and IPs. 


;So wotnow? (pun)
A possible suggestion would be to  take one of those rather shoddy  pages, probably  [[Worcester]], the county  seat, or the project's eponymous article [[Worcestershire]] and do  a Malvern job  on it. Such  a concerted piece of teamwork  might  even earn the project  another major GA - and we now know it  can be done!

==Meet up==
An attempt at a meet up failed last  year - mainly  either because some of the most active members of the project  live in  other countries, or the timing  wasn't  quite right. We can have another attempt  in  April, when Kudpung  will  be back in  Malvern for his dad's 90th birthday, and hopefully  this will coincide with  a home trip  to the UK for GyroMagician.
 
==Talk==
The place to  make your suggestions and dicscuss it all is  [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Worcestershire|HERE]] - be sure to have the page on  your watchlist!

{{classicon|GA}} Currently there are two featured articles in Worcestershire.

==Priority Articles==
The '''top priority articles''' have been identified as probably  being:

* [[Worcester]] • [[Worcestershire]] • [[Bromsgrove]] • [[Redditch]] • [[Kidderminster]] • [[Pershore]] • [[Malvern College]] • [[Malvern St James]] • [[Droitwich]] • [[tenbury Wells]] and the suite of former QinetiQ establlishments: * [[TRE]] • [[RSRE]] • [[DERA]] 
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status,  so we can concentrate our efforts on these first. '''Priorities''' are not set in stone and if you would like to discuss changes, please join in at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Worcestershire]].

Other priorities:
*The recommended priority by  kind is for creation/improvement of complete articles is:
#Places in the county
#Schools in the county (Particularly  susceptible to  vandalism - please keep  them  on  your watch lists if possible).
#Transport in the county
#Notable buildings/objects/geo features/AONB/Heritage sites, etc. in  the county
#History in the county
#Industry & Commerce in the county.
#People in the county - '''NOTE''': These all  need the Worcs project  banner adding  to their talk pages, and assessing.
#County ''related'' articles about things not actually ''in'' the county, and/or other related projects. 
These lists will help:
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/All Worcs related articles|All Worcs related articles by '''ABC''']]
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/by type|Worcs related articles by  '''type''']].
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/All Worcs related articles#People|All Worcs related articles about '''people by ABC''']]
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/Schools in Worcestershire|List  of ''all'' Schools in  Worcestershire]]
*[[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Worcestershire articles by quality/1|List by Class & Importance: Page 1]] All categories except people (not  yet  tagged with  WP banner)
*[[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Worcestershire articles by quality/2|List by Class & Importance: Page 2]] All categories except people (not  yet  tagged with  WP banner). 

<div style="float: center;  margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; "></div>

==New Aims==

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*''Monitor''<br />Use the [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Yorkshire/watchlist|watchlist]] to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
 
*''Infoboxes''<br />Some of our articles need their infoboxes completing infobox. 

*''References''<br />Please remember that the [[:Category:Stub-Class Worcestershire articles|list of stubs needing expansion]]  is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference. If  you  a re uploadiing  an image, be sure  it has a correct FUR, and that  you  have preferably  already  created a link  on  the page where you  want  it to  be.

*''Moves, merges, and multiple edits''<br />Please be careful when performing articles moves and check if anyone seems to be in the middle of doing the same thing. If he; she, or they  are, stop and have a chat about it. Otherwise you  may  be unintentionally duplicating or reverting each  other's work. This is particularly  important  if an article is currently under a  GA review. image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR.

== IPA in  British  place nanmes ==

I  see that  the American campaign against  the British pronunciation  of British place names, by  British  Wikipedeia authors and British  citizens has been relaunched. I think  this campaign is deceitful and goes against  an admin's remit. I might  not  be so prepared to  let things rest  this time round, especially  as the editors concerned are  oblivious of the sensitivities they may  be affronting, and even though  I  am one editor  who  abhors opening  cans of worms. I  may  call an RfC and will  look  forward to  your support.--[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 11:40, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
: yeah no probs [[User:Leonig Mig|Leonig Mig]] ([[User talk:Leonig Mig#top|talk]]) 09:17, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

== UK places ==

Hi Leonig. I was particularly  impressed with  a comment you  made some time back concerning the IPA pronuncition  of English place names in [[User_talk:Lfh#Warwickshire|this discussion]]. After months of building up  evidence, there is probably  going to  be an RfC on this. Your comments would be most  appreciated. Whichever way  you  vote or comment however,  will of course depend entirely  your own opinion. You  can get some important  background [[User:Kudpung/The_IPA_saga|here]], and I'll let you  know when the RfC starts.--[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 10:07, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

== RE: No offence meant ==
Oh, I'm just exercising my right to express my opinion. When you say that 1) anyone voting delete there is a deletion-obsessed megalomaniac ruining the wiki for the rest of us and 2) that those people are not "real" content editors, you open yourself up to retorts. Either offence ''was'' meant, or you really don't read what you write. [[User:Ironholds|Ironholds]] ([[User talk:Ironholds|talk]]) 16:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
:: Meaning is not determinate. There was interpretation at some point, and that involved your body's emotional subsystem. :P [[User:Leonig Mig|Leonig Mig]] ([[User talk:Leonig Mig#top|talk]]) 16:52, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Right, so when you accuse anyone who votes delete of ruining the wiki and say they're unable to be good content editors, otherwise they'd be away writing stuff (which you weren't, leading me to assume that you're ''also'' ruining the wiki) it's the interpretation that really matters. So if I say that the real enemy of Wikipedia isn't inclusionists or deletionists, but rather those idiots like you who use the flimsiest and least valid grounds possible to attempt to preserve any article they can, leading to the undermining of well-intentioned organisations such as the ARS, all in the name of what you hemp-and-sandal wearing, patchouli-smelling, weed-smoking hippie fucks consider "inclusionism".. that's not an offensive remark. It's merely your ''interpretation'' of it that creates an issue. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence (which may actually ''exclude'' you, thus rendering this point moot) could see that the remarks would be interpreted by anyone with an ounce of logic as offensive. If you grasped this and said it anyway, you indeed intended to be offensive. If you did not grasp this, I'm sure the doctors have a special jacket with ''extra long sleeves'' for you.

== Candidate articles ==

I was just updating Harriett Baldwin's article and noticed the discussion. In future, put the information you would have put in a separate candidate article into an article about the specific election. Then, if and when the candidate wins, that information can be split out into its own article. That's what the US does and it works fairly well. You're certainly correct that it's absurd to not provide the public with information about all candidates.

== Speedy deletion nomination of Peter McKelvie ==

Hello Leonig Mig,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[Peter McKelvie]] for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:Peter McKelvie}}&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span>, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on [[User_talk:Gilded Snail|my talk page]] if you have questions. [[User:Gilded Snail|Gilded Snail]] ([[User talk:Gilded Snail|talk]]) 04:33, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

*Is there a question?  There are no sources in the article about McKelvie - there are only sources about events he was involved it.  The normal practice is to redirect to those events, because there's no biographical information to write a biography with.  An AfD (or local discussion) will decide to redirect it a thousand times out of a thousand; no sense in wasting your time (or any else's) on something that won't persist. [[User:WilyD|Wily]][[User talk:WilyD|<span style="color:#FF8800;">D</span>]] 09:45, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
:: I would prefer a local discussion as I believe deleting this article about a man in favour of redirecting to an article about a police investigation or a scandal makes no sense. Your comment that there are no sources is completely absurd.  [[User:Leonig Mig|Leonig Mig]] ([[User talk:Leonig Mig#top|talk]]) 09:57, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
:: Also link to the policy doc containing the 'normal practice'. [[User:Leonig Mig|Leonig Mig]] ([[User talk:Leonig Mig#top|talk]]) 10:00, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
::: Err, you already linked [[WP:BLP1E]] to me.  Look, it's not skin off my nose; but it doesn't make sense to me for you to put effort into something that has no chance of being retained.  There's nothing in the article about Peter McKelvie - you don't know when or where he was born, where he went to school, how many (if any) kids he has, where he lives, what kind of biscuits he likes - all you know is the role he's played in a notable event.  There's also no point in arguing with me; the outcome is too inevitable in this case (unless new sources about McKelvie, rather than his role in events, are found) for me to be able to change the outcome either. [[User:WilyD|Wily]][[User talk:WilyD|<span style="color:#FF8800;">D</span>]] 10:18, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
:::: Don't understand why you are more interested in what biscuits he likes rather than 5 very significant allegations he has made. My hope is in time we we know about the biscuits, it is a stub article. [[User:Leonig Mig|Leonig Mig]] ([[User talk:Leonig Mig#top|talk]]) 10:57, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
:::::Uh, it's an example to show that you basically nothing about McKelvie as a person.  All you know is his role in events.  So we write an article about the events that we know something about, rather than the person we know nothing about. [[User:WilyD|Wily]][[User talk:WilyD|<span style="color:#FF8800;">D</span>]] 11:14, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Worcestershire - one of England's oldest and still existing (with some minor boundary changes) ceremonial and political shires, famous for its nearly 1000 year old cathedral, the River Severn, the [[AONB]] of the [[Malvern Hills]], some of the oldest schools in the country, England's fastest growing university, apples, pears, cider and cricket, and of course its world famous [[Worcestershire Sauce|sauce]]. The Wikiproject is now in need of some attention. Created 12 years ago, this project amassed a huge resource for editors working on all kinds of articles and categories related in some way or another to the county. [[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] is more or less retired from Wikipedia getting on for 2 years ago and it would be good if a group of editors could get it up to date and continue to maintain it.<br>Opt out of this message list [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/Newsletter list|here]].<br> <small>WikiProject Worcestershire 14:14, 24 September 2021 (UTC)</small>

;Welcome to the third [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire|WikiProject Worcestershire]] newsletter
and the first one in (checks notes) THIRTEEN years! When I first joined this WikiProject back in December last year, I was slightly tempted to mark it as inactive, as activity had extremely slowed and there had been no new participants in 3 years. But I have decided to revive this project, as Worcestershire means a lot to me and I know it does for so many others. But as many participants of this project have disappeared completely off Wikipedia, this project is now in dire need of attention and it would be helpful if a group of editors could join me and continue to maintain it.<br>
Here goes for the third EXTREMELY irregular news bulletin...

;What's happened since last time
'''[[Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries since 1844]]''' was promoted to  {{class/icon|GA}} [[WP:Good article|Good article]] on 3 September 2014. Largely the work of {{U|Bellow558}}, a Worcestershire Project  member, the article was reviewed by {{U|Mike Christie}}. 

'''[[Hanley Castle High School]]''' was was promoted to  {{class/icon|GA}} Good article on 30 August 2012. There are 78 good articles for educational institution of all kinds of which there are 4 GA for secondary schools in  the UK. Hanley High School is the first state school in  the UK to become GA.

'''[[Evesham]]''' was nominated on 2 December 2010 as a [[WP:GAC|Good Article Candidate]]. The nomination  unfortunately failed due to unforeseen unavailability  of the editors working  on  the article. It  only  requires minor attention  to  be renominated.

'''[[Worcester Castle]]''' was awarded {{class/icon|GA}} Good Article status on  27 October 2011.  Largely the work of [[User:Hchc2009]] , the article was reviewed and promoted by  [[User:Malleus Fatuorum]].

The photo by [[User:Diliff|David Iliff]] of the medieval cloisters in [[Worcester Cathedral]] ''(pictured above)'' appeared as [[Wikipedia:picture of the day|picture of the day]] on 5 October 2016. 

'''[[Urse d'Abetot]]''' was awarded {{class/icon|FA}} Featured Article status on 13 October 2009. Promoted by {{U|Karanacs}}, the article was 96.4% the work of {{U|Ealdgyth}}. It was finally featured on the main page on 14 April 2018.

The '''[[Battle of Powick Bridge]]''' was awarded {{class/icon|FA}} Featured Article status in 2020 and appeared on the Main Page on 12 February 2023.

;Experts needed!
If you notice any editors contributing significantly to [[Worcestershire]]-related articles, then please ask them to join this WikiProject, as we need all the help we can get.

'''Would you like to join the [[WP:WORCS]]?? Please enter yourself at [[WP:WORCS]]! - new editors are always welcome!'''

'''''Happy  Wikying,  and thanks to everyone else who  has contributed to our articles.'''''

;New project resources
Before making any major edits to articles or stubs, please be sure to read the new [[WP:WORCS/HowTo]].
Urgent tasks are now listed at: [[WP:WORCS/ToDo]]. It should be referred to often, and will be your main stop for most maintenance tasks. We recommend keeping the page on your watchlist. 

'''Priorities''' are not set in stone and if you would like to discuss changes, please join in at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Worcestershire]].
The current priorities:
*''Population''<br /> Now that the [[2021 United Kingdom census|2021 census]] details have been released, most settlement articles need updating. This website: https://www.citypopulation.de/ can be helpful, although you should note this does not collect data from hamlets or small villages.

*''Monitor''<br />The watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
 
*''Infoboxes''<br />Some of our articles need their infoboxes completing. 

*''References''<br />Please remember that the [[:Category:Stub-Class Worcestershire articles|list of stubs needing expansion]]  is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference. If  you  are uploadiing  an image, be sure  it has a correct FUR, and that  you  have preferably  already created a link  on  the page where you  want  it to  be.

These lists will help:
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/All Worcs related articles|All Worcs related articles by '''ABC''']]
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/by type|Worcs related articles by  '''type''']].
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/All Worcs related articles#People|All Worcs related articles about '''people by ABC''']]
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/Schools in Worcestershire|List  of ''all'' Schools in  Worcestershire]]
*[[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Worcestershire articles by quality/1|List by Class & Importance: Page 1]] All categories except people (not  yet  tagged with  WP banner)
*[[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Worcestershire articles by quality/2|List by Class & Importance: Page 2]] All categories except people (not  yet  tagged with  WP banner). 

;Guidelines
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements|How to write about settlements]]
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about counties|How to write about counties]]
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about rivers|How to write about rivers]]
*[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)|How to write about people]]

;Missing civil parishes
There is a project creating missing civil parish articles in England at [[User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes]]. The missing parishes in Worcestershire currently are:

* [[Drakes Broughton and Wadborough]]
* [[Norton and Lenchwick]]
* [[South Lenches]]
* [[Stock and Bradley]]
* [[Stoke, Worcestershire]]
* [[Westwood, Worcestershire]]

;Evesham project
I am currently planning on reforming the [[Evesham]] article to get it up to scratch for another [[WP:GA|GA]] nomination. If other editors are interested in helping me then please do, especially if you live in Evesham yourself, as the main photo is from 2008 and is out-of-date as there is a new statue in front of the building.

;On the newsletter
I intend to write a brand-new newsletter once every two months, though I would like other editors to help me in completing it in case of my unavailability.
