After spending £1M, only now is the landfill search going to be in the right place?? I know there must be other factors in play, that we will probably never know about, but how can one police force appear to be so utterly incompetent? Sorry to be on a soap box here. Thanks for your edit there. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:57, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Martinevans123 Its alright (the soap box that is). According to a forensic pathologist; if he did get into a bin and was crushed, decomposition would be accelerated and because the police genuinely believed that the bin lorry only contained 15kg, they didn't search the landfill until it was too late.....The joy of all things (talk) 21:01, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
So in short, they were looking for a body and now they're looking again, but this time just for bones. It took from October 2016 until 7 March 2017 for police to admit that "an error had been made in the calculations of the weight of the bin lorry". Martinevans123 (talk) 21:09, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
Yep; that about sums it up!The joy of all things (talk) 21:12, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm curious

Hi! I saw that you edited Mark Rowntree's wiki page. I wonder, how do you know all those informations about him? Dee2895 (talk) 23:05, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Dee2895 I don't know anything about him, I just have/had the sources. All apart from the book by Stephen Wade are online; check for yourself. Regards.The joy of all things (talk) 23:12, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. Thank you! Dee2895 (talk) 10:19, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

RAF Snaith

Hello. Is this a style guide thing? I clicked around a few other RAF station articles and they all started with just "RAF Placename is a Royal Air Force station...", which seemed a less repetitious way to write the opening sentence. --Gapfall (talk) 20:14, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Just saw your talk page explanation. Thanks. Consider this a heads up that there are at least a few other articles out there that just open with "RAF Placename is...", then! --Gapfall (talk) 20:15, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
Gapfall Ta. I think it is because someone outside of the UK might not know what the acronym RAF stands for. Regards and thanks. The joy of all things (talk) 20:22, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanking you for your info on my new created article

Hi, Thank you for your info, I was wondering was my article was in red. What I though was that my article had been removed. You truly are The Joy Of All Things! Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:37, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

My mistake

It is my mistake, as I did not see the link as the way the page was formatted. The missing persons name should be at the front of the sentence, so I have reformatted it. Thanks for pointing it out. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:37, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Matthew Falder

Matthew Falder's father is a notable company director - surely that is notable and also surely standard to publish non-private background of direct relatives, especially when that detail has also been covered by mainstream media.

You need to sign your posts by using four tildes (The joy of all things (talk) 19:31, 24 February 2018 (UTC)) but I am assuming you are Jimmytiptoes. As I said in my edit summary - this is about Matthew Falder and as the article is still a stub, unless it directly correlates to his crimes, I deem it unnecessary. The media also state he had a girlfriend, but this is not in the article as it has no bearing on the case/article unless she testified against him. That said, this is my opinion, if you differ, put it back in, but I cannot see how his dad's company is relevant. What does him mum and other two siblings do? Is his dad's company Wikinotable (IE does it have an article)? If so, you can put it back in and Wikilink it, but currently it does not appear to have one, so its spurious information that is not central to the case unless someone says the paint fumes poisoned him and set him off and committed his crimes or he videoed people at his dad's work in the showers, etc, etc. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 20:27, 20 February 2018 (UTC)


A barnstar for you!

The Copyeditor's Barnstar
A joy to review. Your article on Nicola Thorp, while short, sets an exemplary standard for start class articles in sourcing, writing style and layout. Please make more articles. I'll be following your contributions. Great work! Edaham (talk) 09:50, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
Edaham in over two years, that is my first barnstar, thank you! Actually the page is mostly mine, but the piece about the heels is by someone else (Violetriga who had started the page from a re-direct). I had at the same time started an article on Thorp, so just added the filmography, ex links and infobox from my sandbox article. Still; it's a better Wikipedia when editors collaborate together, don't you think. Thank you again and regards. The joy of all things (talk) 11:21, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

List of companies in Leeds

Hello 'The joy of all things' I noticed you'd removed an addition to a page so I just wanted to explain why I had added it in the first place. I added the company Crisp Thinking to the list of companies in Leeds wiki as I felt that it's a company worthy of note. It is the leading company in it's field globally, which is rare for a tech company who's HQ is in Leeds. Normally if a UK company is leading the way then it's nearly always London based. Crisp works with some of the biggest brands in the world - including the biggest kids brand, 4 of the top 5 luxury brands, the biggest pharmaceutical company in the world etc etc. It has been up against Silicon Valley companies and winning. The difficulty is that the company can't name openly a lot of its clients due to the sensitive nature of the work they do. But it's one of the fastest growing tech companies in the region and about to go through a period of even more explosive growth. So I wanted to recognise the fact that Leeds has such a strong tech firm situated here. Other reasons for inclusion include the fact that it was founded by Adam Hildreth who was in the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest ever company director (I believe he was 14 at the time) and he has been featured in global media for his role as a teenage tech entrepreneur. He was advising government at the tender age of 16 and helped set out the online child safety regulations we have today. I'm not very well versed in wiki editing, and the few things I've edited in the past I've not had any issues with, so I'm hoping this is the best way to contact you! I'll keep an eye out for your response. Many thanks Julia 2A00:23C5:89FE:3D00:4489:6AAA:B418:834D (talk) 08:22, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

2A00:23C5:89FE:3D00:4489:6AAA:B418:834D Hi; basically, as the company does not have a Wiki article, it is deemed as being not notable. An article should exist before such listing should be made. The problem with the listing was that it had an external link in the article which is a no-no on wiki as it should be located in an External Links section (my italics). As a solution; I have inserted it back in, but with a link to the page on Adam Hildreth so it will show Crisp, but be a re-direct on Hildreth's page. Thoughts? Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 10:28, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Great thanks! As I said I'm kinda new to wiki editing (so I'm probably not even responding to this chat properly!). I'll see what can be done about an entry on Crisp Thinking too. Makes sense that they have one. Appreciate your help and direction on this :-) Julia 2A00:23C5:89FE:3D00:D180:9075:A0A4:DC1D (talk) 13:59, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

2A00:23C5:89FE:3D00:D180:9075:A404:DC1D Don't quote, but I am pretty sure that unregistered users cannot create content. You would need an account that has been live for a few days and a threshold of edits under your belt.

An umlaut?

Re this edit: that was a diaeresis, not an umlaut. Some people use them in English to indicate the second of a pair of vowels that's not a diphthong. That is, you might otherwise that the first four letters of "cooperate" are pronounced like "coop", as in chicken coop. They're most famously used by The New Yorker, and when I went looking for an example of a New Yorker article using "coöperation", I found this editor's note on the subject. (Not disagreeing with your edit, though, just explaining.) —Steve Summit (talk) 18:57, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 19:30, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

SELRAP: The re-instatement proposition

The joy of all things (talk) 18:29, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

I am a member of SELRAP executive, and have been asked to review the wikipedia entry. I see that you have spent some time updating this entry, for which our thanks. The current entry contains some inaccuracies (for instance, we are NOT proposing to re-open Earby station), and there are some more recent reports that have a bearing on the position (e.g. STP from TfN). In addition, the recently announced "Rail Investment Enhancements Pipeline" will inevitably have an impact. What I want to avoid is trampling over somebody's corns, or getting involved in competitive editing. It seems to me that this should be avoided if we discuss any major changes in advance. FYI I have already made a couple of small changes e.g. updating the membership; and the executive does have a view on this strange concept of reversing at Hellifield as an "alternative". I'm unsure of your level of involvement, or if you are actually a member of SELRAP, but I will happily run my proposal past you for comment, once I have whipped it into shape. Regards Rossendalian (talk) 14:39, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Church of St Mary the Virgin, Masham

Hi there, thanks for another article. I have just had a look at Church of St Mary the Virgin, Masham and fixed a couple of harv linkages but there is a problem with refs 7 & 24 as there appears no destination for Fisher 1909. Unsure if the name or date is wrong or a ref missing. Regards. Keith D (talk) 17:28, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Keith D, thanks for sorting the Harv links and the dates should have been 1865 on both; completely my error. As ever, I am in your debt. Thank you and regards. The joy of all things (talk) 18:30, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Shipley

Hi; I think I have just overwritten some of your edits. I was doing a long edit of the Shipley GNR article and you had done something meantime. I humbly apologise, it was sheer inadvertence on my part.

If you could bear to repeat you edits where necessary, I'd be very grateful; alternatively I will try to repair the damage tomorrow.

Meantime thank you for your hard work in this and other articles.

Btw I have shortened the article. It had a lot of duplication by others, and I have streamlined it quite a lot. If some of that overwrites part of your earlier work, I apologise, but I hope you'll agree that the article is better than it was. Afterbrunel (talk) 10:08, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Afterbrunel It is absolutely fine to change things, but why lose the references? And citation styles should not be changed as per WP:CITEVAR. As the article is stable, large style changes should be discussed on the talk page, to where I will move this conversation so that everything is in the same place. Just writing "Suggett, page 150" changes the citation style, and if you do remove text that have Group Notes, remove the note section. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 10:55, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
There was quite a lot of new material in my edit, which I thought was important. I don't know if you agree or disagree. As this has now been eliminated, and as I don't want to start a petty fight with you, can we agree on a form of words for the talk page which would enable a reader to access my material without offending your views on style?

Wellington to Craven Arms Railway

There appears to be an entry in the topography section for Telford Coalbrookdale (opened 27 May 1979, closed 3 September 1979) that seems well removed from any "recent" heritage railway involvement. The opening and closing dates are well after those of the other stations and there seems to be no explanation why such a very short-lived station was ever in existence. (Someone has also added it the associated line template to compound matters further}.

Have you any news on this matter? You have been involved with Wikipedia information updates this line in past years.

Grinton Smelt Mill

Hello The joy of all things, I wonder if you could look at one of the articles you created Grinton Smelt Mill. There are a number of short references to "Raistrick 1975" that are showing in error. There are two full references that these could be a target for - Reference 8 ISBN 0-903485-26-5, which presumably is Volume 1, or the entry in the Sources section ISBN 0-903485-27-3 for Volume 2. My guess is that they all should point to the second entry, in which case you can add |ref=none to the first entry to fix the problem. Many thanks. Keith D (talk) 23:42, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Wensleydale Railway

Hello, I could not remember which article I spotted a problem on until it popped up on my watchlist today. It was Wensleydale Railway, in a previous edit there is a problem with the Suggitt references. Unsure if the short refs have a wrong year or if there is another missing full reference. Can you have a look as you probably have the book to hand. Many thanks. Keith D (talk) 19:32, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Keith D That was my fault; I used the auto cite generator and the isbn defaulted to 2005, when it was printed in 2007. Thanks for letting me know. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 21:38, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Apologies

I was asked to edit this page as parts of the information contained within it are out of date. I'm new to Wikipedia and wasn't aware of the editing protocols. The cited source states that "industry can" use seaweed for bioplastic etc, and not that SeaGrown itself would be. SeaGrown as a seaweed farm is only engaged in exactly that - seaweed farming. Please can I suggest that the mentions of SeaGrown producing bioplastics in the future are removed, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LtShaker (talkcontribs) 13:37, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Yorkshire article removal

Hello, I noticed you removing some vidio game articles from the Yorkshire project. Worms W.M.D is produced by Team17 which is based in Wakefield so I would expect them to be tagged. Keith D (talk) 21:09, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Keith D, hope you are well. To be honest, I don't see the relevance - I have no problem with the Team17 page being tagged as Yorkshire, but the games themselves are set in a fantasy land which is not based in Yorkshire, and hardly any other companies products in the gaming world have a geographical WikiProject tag on their product pages - Four Door Lemon, who are based in Bradford, being an example. It's the same with books and music; Def Leppard were based in Sheffield when they recorded Pyromania in 1983, but that doesn't have a Yorkshire tag, because I don't think that the album contents relate to Yorkshire.
If the Worms games were set in Wakefield in some post-apocalyptic style, then I would agree to a Yorkshire tag, even Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas doesn't have a California tag, though it does have a United States WikiProject tag. If you wish to re-apply the WikiProject tag to the Worms games, then I won't quibble about it. As they are not set in Yorkshire, I don't see why they need a Yorkshire tag, and though I haven't exhaustively looked, none of the other English-based gaming companies have regional tags on the games articles, only on their company article.

Lynn and Hunstanton Railway article.

Would you be able to construct a route-map template to add to the article that would show the junction leading to the West Norfolk Junction Railway and lines in the King's Lynn railway station area?

Xenophon Philosopher Yes! But it won't be quick, unfortunately. Sorry. The joy of all things (talk) 16:35, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Xenophon Philosopher, it is very complicated follow this link - User:The joy of all things/subpage 29. The joy of all things (talk) 15:08, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
Xenophon Philosopher You're probably busy/occupied, so I have moved it here Template:Railways around King's Lynn. Any changes can be effected there. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 21:08, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
