Foxhill House

Thank you for correcting the citation to English Heritage: I am a newcomer to editing Wikipedia, and want to get this sort of thing right. I entirely accept that a web reference remains a valid citation even if the source is no longer available. The references are therefore appropriate to the points at the beginning of the article. But, if they refer to the building as Listed Grade II, are they appropriate to support the designation of Foxhill House as Grade II*? I have seen material from University of Reading which gets its classification wrong: I believe (though have not verified) that it was originally Grade II but was upgraded after restoration as the School of Law.

Foxhill House

I am entirely happy with the amendments that you made following my own. I suspect that you are right and the University Press Officer who wrote the Bulletin did not appreciate that Grade II* is different from Grade II. I suspect that you are also right in saying that the building was II* before it was refurbished for the School of Law. The EH Listing shows it as having been listed on 19 Sep 1983 and last amended on 4 August 2000. This doesn't seem to relate to any physical alteration, so was this the upgrading? Perhaps it was the correction of the parish from Shinfield to Earley (Shinfield is some distance away). Possibly the building has been listed Grade II* since 1983. I had thought that I had seen somewhere that it was Grade II, but perhaps the Bulletin is the source of all the confusion.Ntmr (talk) 11:38, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Foxhill House

I had not realised until recently that the former stables and coach house at Foxhill House are separately listed (Grade II). I have added a brief reference to that. In view of your involvement with Foxhill House I mention it as a matter of courtesy.Ntmr (talk) 00:06, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

St. Gallen / Trogenerbahn

Thanks for your message. Yes, I took some Trogenerbahn photos, and I've now uploaded them. You can view them here. The weather conditions at the time weren't really conducive to artistic images, but I like to think they're encyclopedic. I hope you like them, too.

Hi! I am dismayed to need to tell you that I have just removed what appears to be a copyright violation from Dalle Molle Institute for Semantic and Cognitive Studies, where text apparently copied directly from http://www.dallemolle.ch/en/the-institutes/issco was added with this edit. Perhaps there is some obvious explanation that I have missed? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:27, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Only that the text in common is a sentence fragment of less than 20 words in length. To be honest I last edited that page nearly two years ago and I cannot remember my rationale; in hindsight the text should probably have been in quotes so as to fully meet the criteria in WP:NFC for brief quotations of copyrighted text. However I firmly believe in an element of common sense when dealing with copyright issues; the chances of an organisation regarding a WP article, quoting a dozen or so words from their own mission statement, as being a violation of their copyright is too small to be worth worrying about. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 18:48, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality RfC

Chris, I think that you misunderstood what I was proposing at the Nationality RfC. I was not suggesting that historical figures should somehow be fitted into current states. The argument is about the level of independence that we allow for current regions in infoboxes. To give some examples:

Scotland, Wales, England, Cornwall are all parts of the UK and the nationality field of the infobox for people from these places we should show 'British' because these are not independent states but consituent coutries of the independent state of the United Kingdom.

Texas, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are all states of the US and the nationality field of the infobox for people from these places we should show 'US' because these are not independent states but consituent coutries of the independent state of the United States.

If you understood this that is fine but, if not, I hope this clarifies what the RfC was intended to be about. Martin Hogbin (talk) 13:05, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
