Thanks - I renamed the page, but I replaced the diaspora page with a redirect here (as desribed in the wikipedia renaming pages section). Some other helpful person came through and deleted the diaspora page completely (why I do not know) causing the problem that you describe. Anyway, thanks for putting things back the righht way. take care Mammal4 11:42, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Well welcome to wikipedia then - I see you already have a welcome pack, but here is a more comprehensive list of useful links that you might find useful. If you're interested in editing Cornwall related stuff, then you might like to join the Penwith Wikiproject or helping out with the Cornwall portal? Have fun Mammal4 11:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Seeing as you are from Cornwall, and created the Boscawen-Un article, then I would like to add my voice to that of Mammal4 in inviting to join the Penwith WikiProject. M4 and myself make up two thirds of the active membership, so it is a small grouping that is very succesful at getting things done and has proven (for me anyway) to be a very enjoyable experience. If you want to know more, click the link on the template on any of the talk pages in the Penwith remit.LessHeard vanU 10:32, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Tis why fresh eyes are a good thing
Glad to have you spot the obvious hole in the Otta (river) article. Here I thought everyone knew it was in Norway. :) Thanks - Williamborg (Bill) 03:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hope to see a lot more of you here (and in Norway)! Williamborg (Bill) 03:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks! Have been to Norway a couple of times, and loved it (except the prices!)
Hi! Just a heads up to let you know I did a further adjustment in Dictionary of Canadian Biography Initiative to distinguish between the two above. I left James Alexander Barry in the ==B=='s with a note. He will have a DoCb entry at some point, I'm sure. In the meantime, the note will "heads up" anyone looking at these entries. Nice catch! (There are a lot of disambigs to do in there.) Stormbay 17:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks Stormbay, I seemed to be finding 'James Barry's wherever I looked for a while there! DuncanHill 17:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Re: Cornwall
I'm not sure what edits you're referring to, the only edits I've made have been to add the home nation (over a week ago now) or revert the mass changes by anons. Anyway, the discussion is linked at the top of the talk page. Joe D (t) 10:27, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back, it looked like you'd deleted {{United Kingdom]] from a lot of articles. I'll have another look at the talk page to see if I can find it DuncanHill 10:29, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
England/UK
Here it is Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/UK or home nations in introductions I think it was a bit sneaky to move it to a page without saying where - maybe a redirect should be added to the main talk page sending people to the new page. I'm still trying to write a summary page to go with this but haven't got that far Mammal4 10:47, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Scrap that - it wasn't sneaky, I am just too blind to see the redirect link! Mammal4 10:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Highwood, Herefordshire
Are you certain there is a Highwood in Herefordshire? I was going to delete the line in List of places in Herefordshire when I saw you'd dabbed it and added it to the Highwood geodis article. See my earlier note of the 'List of ...' discussion page - I think that list should not be relied on. Unless I'm reading the map wrong Highwood, Worcestershire is a couple of miles north of the county boundary. Best Wishes Saga City 04:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Highwood, Herefordshire/Worcestershire?
It looks like it's near Hanley Childe, which IS in Worcs, don't have a big enough scale map of the area to check properly tho'. Thanks for spotting it. DuncanHill 12:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's north of Hanley Child and the county boundary runs to the south of that village. So I'm confident enough it's in Worcestershire to delete it from the Herefordshire list. Thanks for the prompt replies. Saga City 12:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
Good to see someone else on west coast tas things, sometimes it gets a bit lonely and quiet - just like it used to be living there ! SatuSuro 01:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
