Welcome!

Indeed it seems no-one has taken the effort to formally welcome you to Wikipedia, so I will instead ^^. The following links should be able to provide sufficient answers to any questions that may pop up in your mind. If they cannot, do not hesitate in asking another user on their talk page for advice/assistance. Happy editing! A Prodigy ^Sign Here/_Contact 15:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Riga

Apologies for having to revert yours. "Jugendstil" is the name of the art nouveau movement, just as the Bauhaus style is the name of a modernist architecture movement. It's not a matter of using the German versus English language for a generic term. Hope this helps. PetersV       TALK 15:07, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Party for Animals

Recently you changed the title of the page "Party for the Animals" into Party for Animals, because it's no valid English and it's the correct translation (according to your edit summary). However, the party has an official international website and calls itself "Party for the Animals". Any thoughts?—Totie (talk) 10:16, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Toxteth

Hi although i didnt change it, and ive noticed you have reverted post code changes, but out of interest can i question why you think Toxteth is in L7? As L7 would be Edge Hill but if you point to some streets (i think you say Bedford Street) this is what i would naturally assume as the edge of town and not Toxteth. (There's a mix of streets and people call it the Canning area). I would naturally assume "Toxteth" would not come in to the equasion as Toxteth is generally known as L8. I get the L3 i dont dispute that. (the L7 i would disagree with)Babydoll9799 (talk) 22:23, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your polite query. This is my first attempt at "Talk", so I can only hope you get this reply. There are two main reasons why I would say the Canning Area is in Toxteth. (1) I have lived there for decades and I therefore know what people who come from there (and people who live outside it and are too frightened to venture in) call it; (2) the local police station had a map of Toxteth police district and it included the Canning area. Of course I can't prove either of these. Sadly, most of the Talk on this subject is irrelevant: for example, there is no reason to imagine that the old GPO would have set postcode boundaries to reflect ancient place names, and there is clear evidence that modern-day Toxteth is smaller than the ancient Toxteth Park anyway. I can assure you, in any case, that people in Bedford St South regard themselves as living in Toxteth as much as people in the rest of Canning do. Tdls (talk) 11:10, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for the reply, it was really aimed at whether L7 was meant to be there as L7 i would say is Edge Hill I dont see L7 being Toxteth. (It's a matter of opinion what local people think, i just thought by the time you get to L7 you're techincally out of Toxteth). Babydoll9799 (talk) 16:57, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On the whole you're right, of course: L7 is Edge Hill, more or less (subject of course to the proviso that postcode boundaries exist for the convenience of the Royal Mail, and generally ignore historical boundaries). But it doesn't make sense to imagine that Bedford St is in Edge Hill, since it is surrounded by L8. It runs from Myrtle St to Upper Parliament St. Also interesting to note that Minster Court used to be in L8 but got transferred to L7 when gentrification took place. Here's fun: few people had heard of Toxteth before th riots, residents called it "Liverpool 8". But of course journalists reachd for the map, found the correct but pretty much obsolete name of Toxteth, and started using it. Fritz Spiegl's "Dictionary of Scouse" defines Toxteth as "An imaginary location invented by journalists". Stretching a point, but not untrue. Tdls (talk) 19:49, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to White Hart may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it.

Just a note

Having been reminded of a brief interaction I had with you few years back, checked out and see that you're still editing a bit. Great, and thanks for your continuing contributions! Hope everything is going well and that your Wikipedia experiences remain pleasant and constructive. Cheers, Herostratus (talk) 03:38, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yo

Hey, see that you have not been very active since last fall. Although you did make a couple of edits last month, which is promising. Hope you are well. Herostratus (talk) 01:44, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Im afraid I rather lost interest after falling victim to rollback abuse.Tdls (talk) 10:08, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Sorry. Herostratus (talk) 20:16, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On 21 September last year Qed237 rolled a large number of my updates back. He almost immediately admitted it was a subject he knew nothing about. He ignored me when I asked him to reverse his rollback. End of, I'm afraid.Tdls (talk) 17:28, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I quite understand. Editing here is certainly a hobby and if it's not fun it makes no sense to do it. Herostratus (talk) 19:17, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not that it's not fun. The problem is that plain ol' facts are overruled by ignorant bullies, such as Qed237 who cheerfully admits he is ignorant.Tdls (talk) 20:54, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
