NomisHi Sionk, I've recently updated a Nomis citation you added to Felin-fach, with a new template I've been involved in that may be of interest. Template:NOMIS2011 hopefully makes it easier to create quality cites to Nomis Local Area Reports Search. I hope this is useful for you.TiB chat 15:21, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

I accept that there is no party called Rhiwbina Independents (although there was a political group within the council called that) which is different from actual independents.Cardiff Council recorded the results in that way: https://cardiff.moderngov.co.uk/mgElectionResults.aspx?ID=6&RPID=1003039891&LLL=0 Paulharding150 (talk) 10:28, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I asked Bearcat if he knew anyone in Architecture who might like to check my first mainly architecture-based article and you're one of two he suggested. I normally write about films and people who make them, but I got interested in this man through his filmmaker daughter and the fact he filmed a lot of his buildings going up using Super 8 when it first came out. It's the first article I've written to be rated 'B' right off the bat and I wonder if it's a good article by Architecture standards (not being familiar with the project or its conventions, I don't even know whether you'd consider it B or not--the person who did that seemed to be coming at it from film too).

Discussion on Welsh place namesI only got round to following your suggestion of reopening the discussion on the use of Aberdyfi vs Aberdovey on Talk:Penhelig railway station this year and it was decided to keep the article on the village at Aberdyfi. There is no official guideline on Wikipedia for whether to use the English or Welsh name for places in Wales that I know of but I think the use of the Welsh Aberdyfi is in accordance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Multiple local names which recommends using the name used by the linguistic majority of the place if English usage is indecisive. Following from the Aberdyfi discussion I am wondering if you would be interested in contributing to a move discussion in the River Dovey article (Talk:River Dovey#Requested move 28 July 2019). There appears to be some confusion over whether to use the prefix 'Afon' or 'River' in articles about rivers in Wales although the mainstream media tends to use 'River' suggesting it is more familiar to English-speakers. I am up against User:Railfan23 who, in a previous discussion on Talk:Afon Twymyn, claimed that the discussion was about the Welsh language not some dialect of English, who dismissed Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English as a red herring and who is adamant that Aberdyfi is the sole official name for the village of that name despite the continued use of the anglicised Aberdovey by the railways and Ordnance Survey, who due to my recent scuffles with I do not feel entirely confident in dealing with on my own. Tk420 (talk) 12:38, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
Dear Sionk, I feel I owe you an explanation on the way I acted recently: I have been editing on Wikipedia for nearly twelve years and might be slow to catch on owing to autism and moderate learning difficulties, although I do still learn new things from my editing experience, which I do not like to talk about and have not felt the need to discuss with another Wikipedian before. I only became aware of Wikipedia:Canvassing after Railfan23's most recent message on my talk page and previously thought about it as 'inviting' you which I did because your comment on Talk:Penhelig railway station seemed the most neutral. I will now tell you about for my issues with Railfan23 and why I do not feel confident in dealing with them (I do not know their preferred pronoun as their user page is currently blank) by myself in case you can offer any impartial advice in dealing with users like them. The reason I have not replied to Railfan23 on my talk page (the first message has since been automatically archived (see User talk:Tk420/Archive 38)) is partly because I never felt the need to reply on my own talk page before, with my disputes usually being resolved on the talk page to the relevant article, but mainly because they said at least two things, I have never heard from another user before and have never said to another user even if I disagreed with them, I took as insults which initially gave me the perception of being bullied although I now do not think they were intentional. The first perceived insult was 'What do you think the comment above is?'. 'What do I think...' e.g. 'What do I think I am doing?' is not a question I usually answer as it has a different connotation to 'What am I doing?' and I think it is more of an expression of anger than a serious question as the speaker can sometimes see what the listener is doing. This can also be taken as patronising as it assumes the listener does not know what they are doing and they might not know if they are doing anything wrong or what they are doing wrong. My claim of my edits going unchallenged is based on my change of 'River Dyfi' to 'River Dovey', to match the name of its article, starting with the Aberdyfi article on 24 June 2019 which went unchallenged until 21 July, nearly a month later, when I made the same change on other articles. I was also bemused by the request to revert my edits, which I stand by unless the River Dovey article is moved, given Wikipedia is not compulsory (see also: Wikipedia:Wikipedia is a volunteer service) and Railfan23 has shown themselves capable of performing the edits personally which is what I do if I feel confident in doing so and was also bemused with them getting worked up about me not responding immediately which I feel is not worth getting worked up about. I sometimes prefer to sleep on an issue, rather than respond immediately, because of real life (often due to the lateness of the hour) and to avoid editing under the influence e.g. of anger or tiredness. I am also bemused by User:RGCorris demanding a reply on Talk:River Dovey although they (again, their user page is currently blank and I do not know their preferred pronoun) have so far not said anything I have perceived to be insulting. The second perceived insult ('You are wrong') took place on Talk:River Dovey. I was taught that it is politer to say 'I disagree with you' or 'I am afraid I am going to have to disagree with you' in this situation as the speaker could be wrong. In Railfan23's reply above I took the word 'mentality' as an insult making me less willing to help them. Tk420 (talk) 23:22, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
About the issue of whether to use 'River' or 'Afon' for rivers in Wales: I have since found Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about rivers#Title which states "River X" is used generally for notable rivers in the UK and Ireland, yet many other watercourses are, quite properly, locally and cartographically named "X Beck", "X Water", "X Race" e.g.Trout Beck in the Lake District. However, there is currently no guideline on whether to use 'River' of 'Afon' in an article about a river in Wales. I am considering making a suggestion there and would like to use a larger better known 'Afon' and 'Nant' as examples but many larger rivers are known by the prefix 'River' in English so I have decided to start move discussions on the larger 'Afons' until a discussion stops without moving an article. I am currently involved in move discussions on Talk:Afon Rheidol and Talk:Afon Mawddach but I am waiting for those discussions to die down before I start any more in order to take breaks from editing. I would say the most problematic user I have come across so far in those discussions is User:Velella who, after reading through their talk page, has been accused of being influenced by personal opinion although the only time I have, so far, know them to do this was in the Talk:Aberdyfi move discussion where I reminded them that Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral. In the discussion on the Mawddach User:Velella claims that 'Afon Mawddach' is universally accepted in mid-Wales but did not say by which language group nor has cited any sources. If there is anything you can do to verify this claim I would appreciate it. Tk420 (talk) 21:17, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
Following the decision not to move the Afon Rheidol article and with no end in sight to the Afon Mawddach discussion I have started a request for comment on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about rivers#RfC about the examples of local names on my suggestion of including X Brook (a common name for a stream in the West Midlands), Afon X and Nant X in the examples of local names for rivers in the title section of the project page Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about rivers. I am still unsure of the formality, as opposed to colloquialism, of the use of the prefix 'Afon' in English although the opponents of my proposals argue that it is normal locally. In wondering if it is more common in this part of Wales considering one difference between two dialects is some words are used more often in one dialect than in the other and the Welsh English article describes at least four dialects of English within Wales (North Wales, Cardiff, South Wales Valleys and West Wales). According to the anglicisation article the preference for Welsh place names over similar-sounding anglicisations is more common in the west so it might be similar for the preference for 'afon' over 'river'. Considering you argued in favour of the use of 'river' I was wondering how you would describe your dialect if it is from Wales or, if not, how you would describe the local dialect in your area? Tk420 (talk) 20:40, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
I have discovered a similar dispute over titles of articles about lakes in Wales. Although many Welsh lakes are referred to as 'Llyn X' on the English Wikipedia I can think of three lakes widely known by different names among English-speakers: Bala Lake, Tal-y-llyn Lake and Lake Vyrnwy (known in Welsh as Llyn Tegid, Llyn Mwyngil and Llyn Efyrnwy respectively). I was reading the Bala Lake article when I discovered the Welsh name used primarily (since edited) so I checked the talk page and found a move discussion from 2018 over whether to move it to 'Llyn Tegid' (Talk:Bala Lake#Requested move 6 July 2018) in which the result was 'no consensus to move the page at this time, per the discussion below.' This is the reason given for not moving Afon Rheidol and Afon Mawddach. Apparently some who wanted Bala Lake moved did not know how to do it which I think was the case with the River Dyfi article before the discussion to move it from River Dovey. Please see my contribution in Talk:Bala Lake for more information. It seems that the issue over article titles for places in Wales extends to geographical features in general as well as rivers. I am also concerned that the lack of easy access to reliable sources besides tourist information sites and mainstream media mentioned in WP:SOURCE is a hinderance to convincing other users. On the other hand I was able to move Biosffer Dyfi to Dyfi Biosphere two days ago without it being challenged so far. Tk420 (talk) 17:57, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
In case you have not already read my latest contribution to the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about rivers Rfc I sent a message to user:Cuchullain to ask if they can offer any assistance and received the reply 'Honestly I don't see this getting resolved anytime soon as long as there's no consistency in the sources, where some rivers are more commonly called "River X" and others are "Afon X". I don't have much to add, I'm afraid'. I chose Cúchullain as they closed the Aberdyfi and River Dyfi move discussions giving their reason, after I asked them, for keeping and moving the articles as 'There is clear consensus that this is the most common form'. By the sound of it even admins get confused by the inconsistency over the use of 'River' and 'Afon' in sources referring to rivers in Wales.

From reading your user page I can see you are interested in Wales related articles and according to a userbox you can contribute with a higher level of Welsh. I have recently moved the article, with the assistance of Google translate, from Gorsaf reilffordd Penhelig to the spelling used by the green text on the station's name boards. This was all I felt confident in doing by myself as I know very little Welsh and I did not think that move would be controversial as the article did already use the 'Penhelyg' spelling otherwise. I would like the image in the infobox, which shows the station in 2009, to be replaced with an image of mine (File:Penhelig station - 2019-07-14.jpg), I have already used in the English-language article Penhelig railway station, of the station after the 2018 reconstruction of the platform but the current image could be added to a history section as an example of how the station looked before the reconstruction. The image is hosted on Wikimedia Commons so it can be used on any Wikimedia project. As for the image descriptions: I would like to have a Welsh-language description added to File:Penhelig station - 2019-07-14.jpg and File:Aberdyfi-Aberdovey western approach sign.jpg in case they are used in any Welsh-language articles. I took these photographs on what has so far been my only visit to Aberdyfi (or Aberdovey) since the move discussion on Talk:Aberdyfi although it is one of my nearest seaside resorts explaining my interest in the Cambrian coast. I included the bilingual welcome sign image in the 'Name' section I included in the Aberdyfi article to help explain the topic to those unfamiliar with the name issue. I got the idea for the 'also known as...', the Name section and 'Aberdyfi/Aberdovey' in the infobox after reading Derry, County Londonderry and Outer Hebrides articles as those are all places known by more than one name in English. According to Google Trends there are more searches in the UK for 'Aberdyfi' although searches for 'Aberdovey' are at almost equal levels. I photographed the sign on the western approach to the village which I though would be safer although the sigh at the eastern approach might have been in better condition although it was partially obscured by trees and there was nowhere to stand back from the road. I have included the photos below to provide a link to them as well as to show you what they look like. Tk420 (talk) 21:26, 31 August 2019 (UTC)  
Unfortunately I did not remember exactly which viewpoint the 2009 photo was taken from and my intention, when I took the photo from the east end of the platform, was to give readers an idea of the length of the platform but the tree by the tunnel has grown over the intervening years, as I noticed after I cropped the image,. I have however found an photo of the station from the same trip taken from the other end which shows the tunnel and a clearer view of the station's name board. I have cropped it like you suggested and included it in the infobox of the English-language article along with a new gallery for the previous westbound images. I would like suggest the use if the cropped eastbound image to be used as the primary image in the infobox of the Welsh-language article along with a new image gallery for the current images so readers can compare the past and present westbound views of the station. As for the Aberdyfi/Aberdovey welcome sign image: although I do not intend to use it in any other articles in the foreseeable future I would still like a Welsh-language description included just in case. I have included my three latest images below in case you can help with translating the descriptions into Welsh although I am currently not intending to use the cropped westbound nor uncropped eastbound views in any articles.

Fram (talk) 11:53, 11 December 2019 (UTC) Hi Sionk, if you remember I asked for your help with Dennis H. Carter way back when. I eventually got around to starting Smith Carter and reducing some material from the original article. I ended up creating Ernest J. Smith at the same time and spun off yet more for the public sculpture put in front of one of Smith's buildings, No. 1 Northern (as well as expanding John Cullen Nugent and doing yet another public sculpture. Fun times. Only thing is, the Smith Carter article has been slapped with two tags like Dennis was. I was hoping you could have a look at that one with a view to judging how much work needs done and where (it's long). You're welcome to look at the other news ones if interested. (I tried pinging you, I probably didn't do it right or else... Christmas.)ZarhanFastfire (talk) 04:45, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Rathfelder (talk) 09:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC) Architects by countyRathfelder - Hello Sionk, I hope you are keeping well. I'm trying to get my head around the logic/benefit to readers, of the categorisation of English architects by county, a category that I think you created back in 2014, following a minor spat with Rathfelder over Albert Powys. To me, this level of categorisation goes beyond what is helpful to the reader. I would not think of an architect as belonging to a county, as opposed to a country, or even more extreme, as belonging to a city, [[Category:Architects from Norwich]]. It's not a categorisation that we appear to follow for artists, or writers or composers. And I wouldn't begin the lead of an article by writing "Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens, OM, KCIE, PRA, FRIBA was a Surrey architect", even though he's an example of an architect whose work was influenced by, and which much influenced, the county of his birth. If one wanted to indicate his birthplace by a category, one could add, for example for Powys, [[Category:People from Dorset]], but I'm not convinced that removing the category English Architects, which he certainly was, and replacing it with a category that only contains one other entry, really assists the reader. As an aside, many of the Architects by county entries contain just one or two names. I'd be grateful if you could let me know the intended benefits of this degree of categorisation. All the best.

The Great Britain/Ireland DestubathonHi. The Wikipedia:The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all 134 counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. £50 available for most Wales destubs. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:58, 2 February 2020 (UTC) I've started loads of stubs like that to try to make this more comprehensive. Like yourself I like the idea of having articles on such localities. Perhaps in most cases if somebody did local research it could be expanded enough and that we shouldn't judge things by web hits only. I've altered the wording anyway. There is now a prize too for anybody who expands short stubs with little info to 500 b-1.2 kb and makes them worthwhile, 500 char is doable for most places.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:45, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:39, 19 March 2020 (UTC) Cardiff County Borough Council electionsHi Sionk. Great work on doing these, particularly pre-1973. I am wondering whether your sources are online or maybe you own/have access to old copies of the newspapers? Am potentially interested in doing some of the years that haven't been published yet but can't find the results online? Benawu2 (talk) 06:27, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi again Sionk. The wards, boundaries and in many cases councillors themselves were the same as the predecessor councils. Hence the seats are not new. And you removed my new seat win edits too. Hence the reversion of your edits. Cheers Benawu2 (talk) 05:28, 15 April 2020 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image File:Kennard Santas Grotto.jpgThanks for uploading File:Kennard Santas Grotto.jpg.

This is not the case. I did not make that anonymous post, and I ask that you publicly apologise for this accusation. --Pakaraki (talk) 05:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
