Pippa Britton

Thanks. Yes, I'm afraid I have no other source for the DOB than the fact that I recently went to her 60th birthday party. I'll keep looking. Deb (talk) 07:24, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

@Deb, ah right. One profile source did say she’s 60 but didn’t provide clear dmy so I could just calculate a year from that? As long as that source is up to date? DankJae 08:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
You could maybe put the year. You could, for example, put 1962/3 and cite the article. Deb (talk) 08:08, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Caernarfon

Hi Jae,

I will respond to Caernarfon fully, but I'm a bit worn out on the discussion front at the moment so it might have to wait a day (or a couple). Sorry to leave you hanging, don't be shy to ping I've not responded by... Friday? A.D.Hope (talk) 22:07, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

@A.D.Hope, of course, take your time, although if it is a few days later I could forget, so be free to ping, if you wish to. Be free to respond at any time you wish, or not at all, you're not required to. In the end, I applied WP:BRD, and consensus does take time, I've opened many stagnant discussions which were only discussed months later. You've done a lot of discussion work, which is great committment but understandable it can give a bit of fatigue. I too am also frustrated and fatigued by some discussions, so fully understand any break. Happy editing
May still discuss the Merseyside image though, hopefully that can be less frustrating, as it doesn't go into legal names, but images. However, we don't need to rush to close such discussion, unless clear support. DankJae 09:21, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Ta Jae. I'm not frustrated with the Caernarfon discussion, to be clear, I've just accidentally taken too much on. If I don't slow down a bit I'll just get fatigued and grumpy, and what use is that to anyone? I've already been curt to Chocolateediter over at Merseyside, which isn't great as I always think things sound harsher online. You are right though, image discussions are generally quite relaxed.
Are you frustrated by any discussions at the moment, or is all well on the DankJae front? A.D.Hope (talk) 10:08, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
@A.D.Hope, writing online can sound harsh yes, even after multiple re-writes. No specific discussion frustrates me, although there were more frustrating times in the past, and I guess not entirely recovered. I did ping you three times in three discussions, so understand having multiple ones can cause fatigue, sorry, but hopefully this will pass. But being bold, especially for more controversial edits, does increase the chance of critique. If I don't find it important, I just move on. DankJae 10:49, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Well exactly, it's not like I don't know what I'm getting into by being bold. I hope you can recover fully from those past discussions, I know it can take a while before you're ready to re-engage with certain things again and that's entirely understandable. Personally I always find you a very level head and a welcome addition to any debate, regardless of whether we agree or not! A.D.Hope (talk) 11:03, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Images

I haven't read all the blurb but I was aware of large collages being added so I shortened them to three. I've restored the one I did on Denbighshire, I didn't realise you were planning a discussion. Esemgee (talk) 19:49, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Esemgee, it is all quite recent and a mess tbh so don't blame you. The relevant discussions are at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography#Ceremonial county infobox images (for now), although it is immediately being questioned to be expanded. The multiple-image collages in Wales (aside the cities) are recent, hence the discussion at Flintshire (would discuss Gwynedd and Denbigh too but getting tired). Personally, I got used to one image, the lazy option, but concerned when like 6? were added. Want stability by the end of the day and discussion over what represents these counties, that I live(d)/visit in. DankJae 19:59, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
