Hi, I thought I'd drop you the official "welcome to Wikipedia" notice. I see from your edits that we share a common interest in the Corris railway and its associated topics. Many thanks for the excellent improvements you've made to Wikipedia. I'm a life member of the Corris Railway Society myself, though from your username here I'm guessing that you've had a lot more involvement in the society than I have over the years! Anyway, thanks again for improving Wikipedia's coverage of the Corris and many thanks for all your hard work helping to lead the revival of the railway.

I was originally going to give the 1800 a separate article but there is a good argument to include it with the Renown as they are so similar.

The Zombies

I think it's pretty obvious that Odessey & Oracle is a psychedelic album. Just listen to it, it's a masterful piece filled with excitement, happiness, confusion, uncertainty, and melancholy that simulates the psychedelic experience. Psychedelic music isn't just about trying to recreate the experience of "tripping out" on some psychedelic drug like LSD, as many think (This music is more likely to fall under the Acid rock category), but to induce emotions that overtake and encompass the listener. The Zombies' unique brand of lyric wit and daring arrangement expanded the limits of pop, hence Psychedelic pop. Every song on Odessey & Oracle album induces feelings and emotions that send the listener on a journey. While it wasn't exactly "freakout" music, like the psychedelic sound of Hendrix, The Doors, and Jefferson Airplane Odyssey and Oracle is still notable for its experimental compositions.

Machynlleth (mention of Ceredigion)

I have reverted your reversion to Cardiganshire for the following reasons. Wikipedia policy is to use the current version of the name unless there is a specific reference to a place in its historic context, in which case it would be [[Ceredigion|Cardiganshire]]. In this particular case, Cardiganshire is merely being used as a descriptor for the area from which the animals came. it should therefore be Ceredigion, just as we would no longer use Carnarvon rather than Caernarfon. Skinsmoke (talk) 15:18, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A 1632 list of counties using their contemporary names should refer to Cardiganshire; altering it to the modern name while leaving the other place names as per the 1632 list is inconsistent and illogical. RGCorris (talk) 15:29, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all, as the other areas listed are still in use today. The name Cardiganshire is not, having been changed to Ceredigion. Similarly, we do not refer to the building of The Cob at Ynyscynhaearn, which was the name then in use for Porthmadog, nor do we refer to Aberayron, Conway, or Merthyr Tidvil, preferring in Wikipedia to use Aberaeron, Conwy and Merthyr Tydfil. Even referring to the historic counties, we now refer to Caernarfonshire, rather than Carnarvonshire or Caernarvonshire. Skinsmoke (talk) 15:40, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
PS At the very least it should be [[Ceredigion|Cardiganshire]], to avoid the redirect! Skinsmoke (talk) 15:43, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not so. Merionethshire's contemporary name is Meirionnydd, as displayed on road signs entering the former county area; the Anglicised spelling is no longer in use, in exactly the same way as Ceredigion has replaced Cardigan. Likewise Montgomeryshire is Maldwyn (although Powys show both names on their road signs), and much the same applies to the other Welsh county names listed. The list has the names as used in 1632, and changing just one to a contemporary name is inconsistent. I will therefore adopt your suggestion to use [[Ceredigion|Cardiganshire]]. RGCorris (talk) 15:52, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy with that as a compromise, as it avoids the redirect. However, if you want to show the historic sense it would be even better as a quote, if you can find the citation. Unfortunately, the page has very few citations (I was hoping maybe it was going to be at the bottom of the page!). Incidentally, the reason this has cropped up is because of dealing with redirects arising from the merger of Cardiganshire into Ceredigion on Wikipedia. It appears likely there will be similar support for a merger of Merionethshire into Meirionnydd once the Ceredigion merger is completed, judging from comments that have been made. Montgomeryshire is more problematic, as Maldwyn is seen as the Welsh form and Montgomeryshire as the English version, even in contemporary use, whereas both Ceredigion and Meirionnydd have largely been adopted in English over the last 30 years.

River/Afon Wnion

Hi, do you have reliable English-language sources to support your claim that "Afon Wnion" is the normal name in English (and which outweigh sources for "River Wnion")? I grew up there and I have my doubts. garik (talk) 13:59, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The 1953 Ordnance Survey map shows the rivers as Afon Mawddach and Afon Wnion, in contrast to the Dyfi which is shown as River Dovey (Afon Dyfi). The current edition OS map also shows the Mawddach and Wnion as Afon rather than River. Therefore the standard English mapping reference for place names has used Afon for at least half a century.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cado Belle

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Cado Belle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Astronaut (talk) 11:42, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The length of a Ford Consul

You wrote in a "modification rubric" that the original (early 1950s) Zephyr was not larger than the original Consul. I disagree. Slightly. According to the lengths shown in wikipedia the Zephyr was 4 inches longer. Culshaw and Horribin puts the wheelbase at 4 inches longer on the Zephyr but the body at 6 inches longer: in the pictures used by C&H the Zephyr has over-riders n the bumper whereas the Consul does not, so that makes sense.

Back then the mainstream English automakers had yet to discover the joys of the V6, and accordingly six cylinder engines tended to be "in-line". What seems to happen with several cars from this time is that four and six cylinder versions were offered, and the six cylinder version had a slightly longer nose in order to accommodate the longer engine block. The passenger cabin and boot/trunk dimensions were unaffected. Another example is the Jaguar Mark IV. And, more obviously because they reshaped the nose of the six cylinder version, the Morris/Wolseley "Giant Morris-Minor-wannabe". This really is vanishingly unimportant and I'm not sure why I bothered writing it. But having written it, I guess I'll share it anyway. Regards Charles01 (talk) 18:23, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Griffin versus Wyvern

Dear Sir,

You say that you get the information regarding the Griffin symbol, rather than the Wyvern symbol for the badge of the post-WWII Standard Company from The Standard Review magazine dated January 1947.

I am extremely interested in getting the facts right on this issue and bear you NO ill will. I have been trying to trace a copy of the STR dated January 1947, and it seems that the last pre-war issue was September 1939, and the first post-war issue was July 1947?

I would be most grateful for sight of the particular page containing details of the Griffin symbol, which you obviously have, and perhaps the front page of the Review in question.

Daimler 1950-1970

Hi RGCorris, I wonder if you might help. I've made some changes to the articles about 1950s and 1960s Daimlers and I think there is a good chance they might benefit from a discussion with someone like yourself. Do you have any thoughts on what I've done? Regards, Eddaido (talk) 22:25, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to discuss any specific points you might want to raise, if you can link to the articles you want a response for. While I take your point regarding the 420 Sovereign being perhaps more of a successor to the 3.8 Majestic rather than the 4.5 Major, the integration of the Daimler name into the Jaguar range during the 1960s inevitably threw up some anomalies - not least because pre-merger Daimlers sold in much smaller numbers than their badge-engineered successors. My father had a 420 Sovereign (1967) followed by an XJ6 Sovereign (1969) but would never have thought of having a Majestic or Major - the Sovereigns brought the Daimler name into a different area of the market (ours replaced a Rover 3 litre - CAR magazine ran a direct comparison between the Rover 3.5 litre and the 420 Sovereign which influenced our choice). On the other hand, a case could be made for the 2 1/2 litre V8 being a somewhat belated replacement for the Conquest. I still think that a look at a price chart, and a comparison of external dimensions, would be a valid way to compare different models. RGCorris (talk) 09:55, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Would you remember that (I think around the end of the 1970s) it became clear that Jaguar could not continue in its traditional sector of the market. Its cars had always been intended to have a strong appeal to the enthusiast. They were always built down to a price. They always represented remarkable value for money. It was decided the only solution was to move the cars up several steps in price level. That way it might be possible to generate sufficient profit to finance replacements for the current models. Today (and perhaps for the last 20 years) the range occupies what was once Daimler territory, something like a 50 % (or more) than the price levels up to say 1980(?)
I'm bringing this up now because it is something that seems to be unreported in the Jaguar articles. It leads to readers equating Jaguars and Daimlers of 1960 and earlier and that is a completely false view. Yes you could make comparisons on paper that did not take account of the Jaguars' inflated horsepower claims or the way they cracked up after low mileages. There is bitter personal experience I can report on here - the dealer service manager telling me I was foolish to expect any Jaguar to last more than a couple of years without absurdly expensive troubles. Regencys and Majestics were in quite a different class from 420s or 420Gs, that is why it would never cross your father's mind to invest in one - the image given the owner or driver is so different, I'm not British but this is tied up with (perceived) Class. Who thinks looking staid (and plain rich) is desirable? those born to rule? What is the best way to bring this fact out? Eddaido (talk) 12:13, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You need to remember that in the late 1960s Jaguar/Daimler merged with BMC to form BMH (which was partly because William Lyons did not have an obvious successor as Jaguar chief, and partly in the expectation that the larger group would be able to fund new models), and then BMH merged with LMC to form British Leyland. This created an unwieldy conglomerate with competing ranges. The in-development Rover flagship was dropped as it would have competed with the Jaguar XJ, the Triumph 2000 replacement was dropped in favour of the Rover SD1, and any thoughts of a new small Jaguar were canned. Grouped together as JaguarRoverTriumph (JRT) the three marques were meant to develop non-competing ranges separate from the mass-market AustinMorris, with Jaguar pushed up-market to leave room for Rover to fit in between them and Triumph. The lack of investment funds for new models was due to the failure of the BL corporation. RGCorris (talk) 11:15, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I don't disagree with you, I'm just referring to additional important factors which are not covered in Wikipedia (so far as I know) and they are too important to forget. I have asked the local library to get for me Jaguar: The Complete Illustrated History by Philip Porter, Foulis, 1995 - 191 pages in the hope that it will provide a quotable source. Otherwise its over to Charles01 to use his influence with The Economist and access the many articles published there in the 70s and 80s on what to do with poor old Jaguar - which I read at the time with interest but its a long time ago now . . .

Your reason for removing Norda Mullen as a member of the Moody Blues is Fallacious. She is an official (not original) member by all standards and plays on their studio work as well since Ray's departure. Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DixieDear (talk • contribs) 22:47, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have not removed her, but her absence from the tour poster suggests she may not be a full member. Can you provide references that confirm she is ? RGCorris (talk) 10:43, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We noticed though that when you edited Kerr, Stuart and Company, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victoria (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Corris No. 7

Hi - just stumbled across this in AFC. It's been there since November last year, and the original poster has only made a couple of edits and not been back since. Do you think this can be worked on? Obviously it's not suitable for maain space as it stands at the moment, but there should be enough independant sources about it to expand it. Any thoughts? An optimist on the run!   09:55, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Curved Air

Hello there, Yes you are right, but the thing is that in the versions released after 1974, like 2007 Japan mini-LP release or 2004 release the album name is clearly named as "Air Conditioning", you can also verify this at their original website and even some big music organizations like AllMusic or the physical copies in the hand of people like in last.fm :) I can provide you more proofs if you still in doubt. :) Have fun and good luck there my friend, I really appreciate your concern and your attention to these changes. ;)

Henry Lincoln is a pseudo historian

Reference in HL being a pseudohistorian in Wiki Article. Reference in HL being part of PoS Hoax in Wiki Article. Please do not remove Pseudohistorian category from Wiki article. - Hellorebel (talk) 16:52, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The book has been described as "a work thoroughly debunked by scholars and critics alike".[1] Arthurian scholar Richard Barber has commented, "It would take a book as long as the original to refute and dissect The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail point by point: it is essentially a text which proceeds by innuendo, not by refutable scholarly debate".[2]

I'm not disputing that. However, the Pseudohistorian category is shown twice in the Category list, hence my deletion of the duplication. If you go to Edit the article you can see the duplicated category. RGCorris (talk) 17:48, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Brother of Daphne

Hi, thanks for adding that very useful table to The Brother of Daphne. Do you by any chance have a secondary source for the information that we could cite? That would be good, if so. Or is it sourced directly to the original Windsor magazines themselves? MichaelMaggs (talk) 12:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that you added a nice scan of the cover of The Courts of Idleness. If you have others in your collection it would be great if you could add them as we go along. Many of the volumes don't have much in the way of decent early images online. The image for The Brother of Daphne for example, and several others, is very low resolution, and has the spine rather unattractively included. MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:37, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can add further dustjacket scans - I was thinking of re-doing TCOI with the spine to be consistent, but if you think they are better off without I will scan the others in the same way in due course. I have seen original dustjackets for the first three books but only have poor quality copies, although I was thinking of scanning and adding the Windsor illustrations that were used for them, in addition to the more familiar jacket pictures. Incidentally I assume you are familiar with https://www.abfar.org.uk/ref/?Author_notes_and_lists:Dornford_Yates ? RGCorris (talk) 16:07, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's where I've been getting some of the images from, in the absence of anything better. Good to hear you can add more! 16:35, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
The Berry Scene: I don't think Wikipedia can handle pdf files, unfortunately. Needs to be .jpg or .png MichaelMaggs (talk) 10:54, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adele

Do you happen to remember in which book Yates mentions Boy's marriage to Adele, and which their divorce? It would be useful to add that, as the relationships can get a bit complicated. In Clubland Heroes Richard Usborne says that the couple seemed to be idyllically happy for fifteen years, but that Adele then went to America for longer and longer stretches, eventually writing in 1935 that she wasn't coming back. Any idea where in the books those things appear? MichaelMaggs (talk) 17:44, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Boy and Adele get engaged in the last chapter of "Berry & Co", are still betrothed in the Prologue to "Jonah & Co", and in the first chapter proper of the latter it states "A month ago Adele and I, new-wed, had visited Pau." Incidentally, although Boy & Adele's wedding takes place off-stage, Jill & Piers' marriage takes place in the Epilogue of "Jonah & Co."
Yates used "The Berry Scene" to tie up some loose ends left unexplained in "The House That Berry Built". In chapter V it states that "Ten years had gone by. The war was over and gone: Cousin Jill was married, and so was I.........Adele was in Boston..." In chapter IX the fate of Piers and the Fauns is explained, and in chapter X Berry writes a letter dated 25th June 1936 with a PS that says "Must Adele sail so soon ?" and the next paragraph mentions "the late summer" and that "Adele had sent me a letter, to say she was not coming back". I don't think Boy and Adele's divorce is ever mentioned, just assumed as Boy was free to marry Jill at the end of "The House That Berry Built."
Adele was a fictionalised version of Mercer's first wife, Bettine, and she disappears off-stage once their real-life marriage failed. RGCorris (talk) 19:07, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Very helpful, Many thanks. MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:06, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Do you think mentioning this in this article is a good idea? I hope that someone will keep the number of episodes current in the article on the series, but I am almost positive it will be forgotten here.
