Welcome!

Please note that Wikipedia bases nationality on place of birth, not ancestral heritage or ethnic background. As John Dee was born in London, he is English for the purposes of opening sentence and categories. The only exception to this is if the subject changed their nationality (i.e., moved to the US for example and became a naturalized US citizen). If you wish to add material on Dee's ancestral heritage, please have verifiable sources and put in the appropriate section of the article, creating a new section or subsection if necessary. Thank you. Bob (QaBob) 23:27, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So Edward 11 should be Welsh! Please amend. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 21:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your message on my talk page - and I'm very excited to hear from you! We are currently working to set up a local "chapter" of the Wikimedia Foundation called Wikimedia UK which will work to further the interests of all people who edit any of the Wikimedia projects from across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Given the particular interests of the indigenous minority language speakers, such as Welsh, I am particularly keen to find a way of getting people from those projects involved.

In the future it may be appropriate to have a separate Wikimedia Wales either as a separate branch of Wikimedia UK or a separate chapter, and we can work together to get this sorted.

Would you be interested in getting involved? cheers AndrewRT(Talk) 20:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My problem is time at the moment: I'm running after my own tail! In theory, yes of course. At the same time, my priority must be 1. my family 2. Wicipedia Cymraeg! On the other hand, my heart reaches out! On this understanding... Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:38, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and understood! We have a message that we're currently putting out to all relevant WikiProjects at Template:WMUK_WikiProject. We'd love to have this translated into Welsh so we can spread the word on the projects relevant there. Would you be able to help with this at all? Also, please let me know if there's anything we can do to help with Wicipedia Cymraeg or any other projects. Cheers! AndrewRT(Talk) 21:11, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). --AW (talk) 15:20, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message. I am translating the maps into Cymraeg. Getting the technical Welsh for the template instructions right has been a bit difficult, but I think that is more or less done. I am now working on translating the Camlas Castell-Nedd map, with just a few place names left. My other difficulty is categories, as I need some new ones but am not sure how you do that (even on English Wikipedia). Thanks for the encouragement. As you spotted, I do not speak Welsh, but know someone at Dwr Cymru who helps me a bit. Bob1960evens (talk) 10:25, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Bot, stupidly, picked up the list of works! No problems here. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:43, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Llywelyn, I removed several instances of similar text in the article. I understand much of it was his works but a good portion was copied and pasted and could be reworded differently to avoid a copyvio. If you see the comparison from the previous version, instances like "barbados toronto ottawa and florida and often appears as guest soloist in opera galas with royal philharmonic orchestra" can be reworded differently. I also removed more from another source, you can see the original matches here. Most of those matches can be reworded differently as well. Before the article was derivative work. Feel free to rewrite the text and if you have any questions, let me know. WP:COPYPASTE is a good reference for guidance on the issue. As far as the other works that are hard to avoid a match. I think it would be good in general to put them into a chart (Play, character) as it would be presented better for readers.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:58, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Llywelyn2000. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Robin Llwyd ab Owain, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: to have won tha chair at the National Eisteddfod is enough claim of importance to pass the fairly low bar of A7. Consider PROD or AfD if you like, but I would myself have thought it was enough for notability. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 11:24, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Against my opinion. I accept your decission, however. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 12:22, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Goronwy ap Tudur Hen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Nothing here that is not already in the Tudor family of Penmynydd article. No indication of WP:notability - just because he is related to notable people does not make him notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. noq (talk) 11:36, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

TRADITIONA and NGR_X NGR_Y SH219829 221915 382913 The list, as you can see is vertical. Can I batch-convert either format within Excel?

Yes, I am sure you would find it good to get to grips with this:-

Select and 'copy' the cells with the grid refs, go into batch concert and paste them into the top box. Select 'grid ref', 'column 1', and 'tab seperator' and hit convert. The bottom box will then give you five columns - grid ref, ngrx, ngry, coord_N, and coord_Y. (It always claims to have errors, but the data is all there). Copy these and paste them back into excel (In OpenOffice i have to specify tab separator from a box when I do that), to line up with the other data. That is where the fun starts. You can adapt this to suit, and I am aware this is open office syntax which I am not sure follows excel exactly, but if, for example you had id in column A, name in B, county in C, community in D and the coords etc in E,F,G,H,I then in J you could paste:

="|"&A4&"||[["&B4&"]]||<div align=""right"">"&E4&" {{streetmap|"&F4&"|"&G4&"}}</div>|| {{coord|"&H4&"|"&I4&"|name="&B4&"|region:gb_type:landmark_dim:5km|format=dms}}||"&C4&"||"&D4&"|-"  

The ampersands join the cell refs with the text in quotes. This will then produce a line formatted to be a wiki table entry. Once the top line is how you want it, copy it and paste it down the whole list, then copy that column of cells again and paste it into the wikipedia (you will need to separately set up the table header and tail. I think it also needs you to manually carriage return the '|-' from the end of each line (I do this in a word processor with find and replace, which is another jungle again).

It seems to be done. There is one minor error that I am aware of but as I don't know how long it would take to find someone to fix I decided to go with it, The error appears only on pages that use the imperial measures (United States).

Off I go to check The Rolls Hall, Monmouth needs a "the" for the portrait, I return to the above page to put it in and I find you've beaten me to it! The family tree looks great. At The Hendre there's a discussion as to whether the history of the family should be moved to a page just on the family, leaving the Hendre to focus on the building and grounds. Fancy taking it on? Regards. KJP1 (talk) 05:40, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your kind words.I should think you're much better informed on the subject than I! After saying that, I'll give it a go tomorrow.... if you havn't beaten me to it! Today: my cup overflows! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:01, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant. Made some good articles even better Victuallers (talk) 07:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a few corrections, and I will continue to work further on the template; any further additions such as dates would be greatly appreciated. As I've said elswhere, ::::I'll also create an article on the Rolls Family in the next few days. Most of the work has been done by better people than I, all that needs to be done, really, is to collate the information under one article. Such an interesting family really deserve an article to themselves. Thanks for your help, and your fantastic work on MonmouthpediA. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:50, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was just going to congratulate you on the Rolls family article, which is very good, and I see the discussion on the family tree template has revived. As I said on that Talkpage, I really know very little about template conventions (make that nothing!) but I'm wondering if the article on the family were made more extensive, and material on the family was removed from other articles, e.g. The Hendre, would that strengthen the case for retention? All the best. KJP1 (talk) 06:44, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly will need doing once the new Rolls family article goes on live. In fact now that, if there are no major problems with that page, I'll start doing it now. Let me know if anything needs correcting, please. Thanks for responding, and for your kind words! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 10:22, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK; the new article is The Rolls Family, Monmouth, family tree cut up in two and made smaller! It might be less painful for you to cut the family bit out of The Hendre article; I suggest we condense it to 2 - 3 paragraphs. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 10:54, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably just me being particularly stupid, but I don't understand why some of the boxes are pink and others green. What is the significance, and should it be explained? Ghmyrtle (talk) 06:54, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. It started off in order to highlight to whom the Hendre was passed on to. But as you correctly suggest: it needs clarifying - just like my home-made elderflower wine! All white and no pink? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 07:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK - unless you want to differentiate between male and female. If there is a "house style" anywhere, I suppose that should be used. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:30, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Llywelyn, it was good to meet you yesterday. I think the Ordnance Survey's 1:50k Gazetteer dataset will be of interest to you - you can download it free-of-charge (and free of any usage restrictions) from their website [1].
It's a colon-delimited text file of all places marked on OS 1:50k maps. You should be able to import it into Access or something similar. You can use the F_CODE column to select just the features of interest - "C" for cities, "T" for towns" and "O" for other settlements. There are lat/long coordinates and British National Grid coordinates for each place. It's probably technically possible to calculate the nearest town to each village somehow.
Welsh and English names are given for some places in Wales, separated by a slash, e.g. "Swansea/Abertawe". There are no Welsh names given for English places.
What's missing though is any population information. I've had a look on data.gov.uk and the ONS website, but both are running unusably slowly today (could be a problem with my connection), so I haven't been able to find anything. I'll have a look at work tomorrow if I get chance.
Hope that helps. Cheers, Bazonka (talk) 10:57, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it's me again. I've completely failed to find a decent dataset with populations unfortunately. However, I've done some GIS analysis on the OS 50k gazetteer to identify the nearest city to every town, and the nearest city/town to every other place. You should be able to download my processed files from here [2] (you'll need to put your email address in, but only I will see this). It's not perfect - there are some duplicates in the villages file (where the village is exactly the same distance from two or more towns). Also the analysis ignores towns that are next to each other - linking to the nearest city instead, e.g. Thornton is next to Blackpool (which would be the logical nearby place to name in the article), but I give the distance from the city of Preston instead, which is smaller and further away. We are of course stuck with any errors in the original OS data - I've cleaned up a few, but there are bound to be several more. Let me know if you need anything else. Bazonka (talk) 15:54, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bore da! Whaw! You move quickly! I haven't had a look yet at the data, but one problem that I foresee is that If I use the distance field on it's own, how do I then merge other fields such as population, number out of work etc. The other way of doing it, of course would be to get a bot to copy this information from the English Infobox to the Welsh Infobox, which could then be done every time info is changed, automatically, or is this too much to ask. I think User:RexxS mentioned that he could do it. The "Distance to London" is on the English one; which would be ok as long as we could also input the distance to Cardiff by another Bot using your data.

However, it's only the "population" field that changes (once every 10 years). I think the main fields are: population, distance from London / nearest town, number on JSA, together with SOME of the fields we find in the "infobox UK place". Maybe we could start off with all the towns in England and Scotland? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 07:21, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Distances from London and Cardiff (and Edinburgh?) should be relatively easy to calculate using a bit of Pythagoras theorem on the co-ordinates. If you want, I can do this for you. But I'm not sure about the census stuff. Taking the data from the Infoboxes on the English Wikipedia is a good idea, but Bots are a mystery to me so I can't help with that. Cheers, Bazonka (talk) 16:49, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That would be a great addition to the Infobox; however I still need to find a decent database with the rest of the stuff. Maybe I'll take a look at Infobox/talk page: they might have used something similar to create the English articles? Iechyd da! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 18:13, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the list of towns with new fields for distance (in km) from London, Cardiff and Edinburgh. I've also split the Welsh (and a couple of Scottish) names into a new field, and cleaned up some errors. Data can be downloaded from here [3]. If you find this useful I can do the villages file too. Daliwch ati! Bazonka (talk) 21:47, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You move mountains! That's a great start! Whaw; even a column of the Welsh names; Diolch. The geographical coordinates will be really useful - essential. I'll use them in the same pattern as I've done with the Scottish peaks. What's the Town ID (Column 1)? Is it acknowledge throughout Britain or only for the IA? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 03:50, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Town_ID and City_ID are the unique identifiers for each place as taken from the original OS gazetteer database (the SEQ field). I doubt if they have any meaning outside of this database.

I've also spotted an error - the OS have marked the St Davids in Scotland (nothing but a small village) as a city. This error was carried through into my processing, so some of the towns, e.g. Perth and Pitlochry, are marked as being closest to St Davids. I will fix this error (instead marking the small Welsh village of the same name as a city) and reprocess. I probably won't get chance to do this until the weekend though. Cheers, Bazonka (talk) 19:35, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've reprocessed all of the data, which you can download here [4]. I've cleaned up all the errors that I found, and now all places are listed with their nearest town and city, as well as distances from London, Cardiff and Edinburgh. Hopefully the field names will be self-explanatory, but let me know if not. Cheers, Bazonka (talk) 12:12, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if you could help with a question posed to me on the German Wikipedia. The article Gavin mentiones that the name stems from the Welsh Gwalchgwn but gives no source. The statement has never been challenged since an IP converted the article from a redirect back in 2007. That information now has spread around the internet in various languages due to the zillion mirrorsites that exist. Do you know of a realiable source for that information, or maybe know someone who could find out? My friends in Pembrokeshire are not really a help due to the "little England" issue. Agathoclea (talk) 09:09, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS: was this edit intentional? It does not match the rest and had to be just the subject I was interested in. Agathoclea (talk) 09:14, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Diolch. I've no idea abpout Gavin. I'll try and find out for you. I've also reverted back to the OG lineage, just in case you or other can use it. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 05:43, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will have to look elsewhere for an answer on the that one. Is there an "help desk" on cyWiki? Anyway I did not mean the template but the link to the mountains which was just giving a edit link to your userpage. Agathoclea (talk) 10:04, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Llywelyn, you largely wrote this article, so perhaps you can help. In this diff you added that the Tudors became the Griffiths family of Penrhyn; the latter term directs to a disambig page, and it's not clear at all which term it refers to. I suspected Penrhyndeudraeth at first, but it appears that that village is much newer than i had imagined, at least under that name. Can you offer any insight into where "Penrhyn" should go? Diolch.

Hi Lllwelyn, I noticed your Welsh wiki-related bot requests. Some of those requests can be accomplished by using CSV Loader plugin for AutoWikiBrowser. I can help you if you have any questions with using it. For example, the redirects can be created using a CSV file that has two columns, the Latin and Welsh names. — Ganeshk (talk) 14:31, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AWB tries to connect to English Wikipedia on startup. You will need to switch to Welsh wiki by visiting the following menu option, Options - Preferences - Site tab - Language - cy. I was able to make a test edit on CY. — Ganeshk (talk) 11:56, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have made great progress. You can open the CSV file in a Text editor (Notepad) and do a find and replace for double spaces and replace them with a single space. Make sure to save the file in the UTF-8 format to retain the latin characters. — Ganeshk (talk) 22:49, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing, it is much easier to run the CSVLoader on a bot account. Create a new account like LlywelynBot (with bot rights) and use the bot tab on the main window to auto save the articles. This will save you from clicking the button few hundred times. — Ganeshk (talk) 00:24, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you notice that someone responded to your Infobox request on WP:BOTREQ? — Ganeshk (talk) 23:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Llywelyn, Hopefully User:Mabdul will help you out on this. In case it does not work out, here is how you can transfer the infobox data:

• Extract data from infoboxes from English Wikipedia into CSV file
• Use CSVLoader to read data from the CSV file and create infoboxes on Welsh Wikipedia using Prepend option.

Use the following steps for extracting data from the English Wikipedia infoboxes:

1. Create a folder C:\Projects
2. Load the list of articles into Make list box (using either category search or text file upload) on the AWB main window.
3. Use the Tools menu - Make module and copy the C# code below into the box. Click Enabled checkbox and hit the Make module button to compile the code. You will have to expand the code to include all the values you need to extract from the Infobox. I have started the code with three columns (country, latitude and longitude).
4. Click the start button. AWB will traverse through the article list and create the extract in C:\Projects\Infodata.txt. The delimiter will be ~.

     public string ProcessArticle(string ArticleText, string ArticleTitle, int wikiNamespace, out string Summary, out bool Skip) {
          Skip = false;
          Summary = "";
 
          String country="~";      
          Match m  = Regex.Match(ArticleText, @"country\s*=\s*([^\r\n\|]+)");
          if (m.Success) country = m.Result("~$1");
 
          String latitude="~";      
          m  = Regex.Match(ArticleText, @"latitude\s*=\s*([^\r\n]+)");
          if (m.Success) latitude = m.Result("~$1");
 
          String longitude="~";      
          m  = Regex.Match(ArticleText, @"longitude\s*=\s*([^\r\n]+)");
          if (m.Success) longitude = m.Result("~$1");
 
          System.IO.StreamWriter sw = System.IO.File.AppendText("C:/Projects/Infodata.txt");
          sw.WriteLine(ArticleTitle + country + latitude + longitude);
          sw.Close();
          return ArticleText;        
          }

Let me know if you have any questions. — Ganeshk (talk) 02:52, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ganesh. Thanks for your time. However when I try hit the make module button I receive this Compilation Error: "Line 32, col 8 expected".

Please make sure the language set to C# (CSharp). That may be the problem. Also, make sure you overwrite all the existing text in the box with the above. You will need to get AWB approval on En to be able to extract data. — Ganeshk (talk) 13:23, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need bot approval here on En. You just need AWB access for your account, Llywelyn2000. Add your name to the users section on this page, Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage. — Ganeshk (talk) 00:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The eye of a hawk! Many thanks. It worked: I have now a text file of all villages in Bedfordshire. I hate asking this but what now? Most villages in Bedfordshire do not have a Wewlsh article; should I create these first or do both together? I think I'll have a bash at doing both together. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:37, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is what was generated in the Infodata file:

Clipstone, Bedfordshire~England~ ~ ~51.927 ~-0.623~Clipstone~~ ~Eggington~Central Bedfordshire~Bedfordshire~East of England~[[South West Bedfordshire (UK Parliament constituency)~LEIGHTON BUZZARD~LU7~01525~SP946742 My column header is: ~ArticleTitle~,~country~,~static_image~,~static_image_caption~,~latitude~,~longitude~,~official_name

       ~,~population~,~population_ref~,~civil_parish~,~unitary_england~,~lieutenancy_england~,~region~,~constituency_westminster~,~post_town~,~postcode_district~,~dial_code~,~os_grid_reference~

Am I right? Alas, I'm getting an error: "Please make sure the column header matches the number of columns..." I think I'm a few tildes short in the Infodata file; maybe Skip = false doesn't note down a tilde, or am I wrong? Thanks. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 11:07, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Title (~) is the delimiter in this case. Your column header should look like this:

##ArticleTitle##~##country##~##static_image##~##static_image_caption##~##latitude##~##longitude##~##official_name##~##population##~##population_ref##~##civil_parish##~##unitary_england##~##lieutenancy_england##~##region##~##constituency_westminster##~##post_town##~##postcode_district##~##dial_code##~##os_grid_reference##

The ## before and after the field name are needed to make the fields distinct from any other occurrences of the word in the article (since the CSVLoader does a find and replace operation). A ~ delimited file can also be referred to as a CSV file. — Ganeshk (talk) 15:40, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest creating articles first using "Skip if it exists" option. You have already have the basic fields to build a stub article. Once you complete this step, go ahead with updating existing articles and add Infobox using the Prepend option on CSVLoader. Here is an example, of a article stub template. — Ganeshk (talk) 16:00, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still getting the error: "Please make sure the column header matches the number of columns..."

I note that the first 3 strings are different to the rest: r\n\| rather than r\n| . Would this be the problem?

Not quite as easy as I thought it would be, but lets plod on! Thanks Ganesh! BOT-Twm Crys (talk) 18:11, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Done the pages, I'll attack the Infobox tomorrow. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 21:02, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Too late now, but you should have added the infobox on those new articles. — Ganeshk (talk) 23:31, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I should, but couldn't - tried all day! I kept getting the error message (see my last waffle)! Today's another day! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 05:10, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another error: when the imported Infobox (from en) was saved into the Infodata text file, it cut off any text which followed the pipe (|). Why did this happen? The first 4 articles didn't show any such errors, and looked fine. So I did the next with bot; that's when the error crept in. BOT-Twm Crys (talk) 07:38, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't figure this one out! See above: when the imported Infobox (from en) was saved into the Infodata text file, it cut off any text which followed the pipe (|). Any text following the pipe was omitted in the txt file. Any ideas? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 05:41, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Try this. I have moved the pipe character check to the front for fields that have links on them. It is not fool proof though. Now you know why Wikidata is being developed. Once you done creating the file, search for pipe (|) characters, if you find any, that would mean there are still some bugs in the code. — Ganeshk (talk) 04:40, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Post the code and the problem at WT:AWB and ask for help. I am sure someone with more experience with Regex will help you. — Ganeshk (talk) 12:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ganesh. I did that here, but I'm none the wiser! Maybe I should wait a couple of days. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:36, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Llywelyn, I noticed the messages that you left for Mabdul. Here is how you can do the Gaeleg replacements on the town articles. You can make use of the Find and relace feature on CSVLoader. Follow the walkthrough here, User:Ganeshk/CSVLoader/Find and replace. In this case, if you go with,

##X##,##Y##

for column headers, Find string will be:

[[Gaeleg]]: '''?'''

, Replace string will be :

[[Gaeleg]]: '''##Y##'''

Make sure to uncheck the Skip check box on CSVLoader window. Skip on the main window should say "Skip if not exists". Let me know if you have any questions. — Ganeshk (talk) 22:27, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's a glitch somewhere: I think it's not recognising the columns. What comes out is ##X##,##Y##. The other anomaly here is that when I try to load the UTF-8 formated text file, I have an error message: Please make sure the column header matches the number of columns on the file. Yet, the two column Excel file was saved as text, without changing column numbers etc! Many thanks. BOT-Twm Crys (talk) 01:29, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you are using a tab as a delimiter. Please change it to comma or tilde (~) and that will help. Make sure to use the correct delimiter on the CSVLoader window. — Ganeshk (talk) 13:28, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your patience! Yes, that was the problem. However, even though I'm now importing a comma seperated file, I can't replace the ?. The Normal Settings > Replace File window keeps changing the ##Y## bit to something different e.g. ##Gaellic villag ename##. Any thoughts? BOT-Twm Crys (talk) 08:18, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is a normal occurrence. CSVLoader replaces the F&R settings for each article and you would see the last replacement done at the end of the bot run. You will need to save the settings in a settings file (File - Save settings) before you click the Save button to start a bot run. That will allow to use reuse the replacements for the next bot run. On the next bot run, use File - Open settings to restore all the settings including the Find and replacement settings. Hope that clarifies. Let me know if not. The coordinates for Scottish peaks can be inserted using Find and replace as well. I will post about when I get some time. — Ganeshk (talk) 12:36, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Once you start the operation, CSVLoader stores the replacements in a seperate location. Don't worry about what shows up in the AWB file and replace. Just click Save and go the next article. — Ganeshk (talk) 02:11, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds easy, but it's not! I save the settings with the correct replacements. I close everything down; then reopen; I hit Default Settings, then I Open Settings, go to the Settings which I had avaed (with correct replacements). Yes - they're there, saved. However once I hit Start, the replacements are lost. No replacements done; nothing changed. BOT-Twm Crys (talk) 07:35, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Thanks. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 19:08, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Found the problem. You had missed adding the article title (##town##) as the first column on the column headers. — Ganeshk (talk) 04:25, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

##town##~##country##~##static_image##~##static_image_caption##~##latitude##~##longitude##~##official_name##~##population##~##population_ref##~##civil_parish##~##unitary_england##~##lieutenancy_england##~##region##~##constituency_westminster##~##post_town##~##postcode_district##~##dial_code##~##os_grid_reference##

One more thing, please make sure to disable the module (the extract code) before you run the CSVLoader (or simply exit AWB and get back in). — Ganeshk (talk) 04:30, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the problem. Because the column header and number of columns didnt correspond, I deleted ##town## manually to see if they would ballanced. Tried the above header string; still no luck. Many thanks. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:23, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did you delete the infodata.txt and create a new file with the code that I posted? If no, then the file may have older incorrect data. — Ganeshk (talk) 11:38, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; cleaned it out twice: still no luck. Did it work for you? Do I have the correct List Separator (a circumflex)? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:30, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome. You are welcome. :) — Ganeshk (talk) 11:28, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to your information I have now created my first article built around the Welsh Newspapers Online website, Arthur Linton (although I am gutted that someone had already built an article on his wonderful caddish manager Choppy Warburton). I have also uploaded a few more Staniforth images, and of note is that Swansea Univeristy have obtained funding to digitally capture all of Staniforth's World War I cartoons for the nation, so be on the lookout for that over the next year too. Cheers again, FruitMonkey (talk) 20:30, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Croeso! Thanks for the Abertawe link, which I will now follow up. I'll upload a few more Staniforth images in the next few days. It would be great to batch the whole lot, but that's not possible due to their format within a newspaper? PS If I arrange another Editathon in Cardiff, would you be interested (both languages)? PPS Dr William Price wasn't an archdruid; his only poem was his son Iesu Grist. Hwyl! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 03:51, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would be interested in an Editathon. I was put off the first due to my shocking ability with my mother tongue. Did you get much interest from the first one? FruitMonkey (talk) 23:25, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Since you brought up the possibility of sharing KML data across different projects a while back on Template talk:Attached KML, I thought you'd be interested in d:Wikidata:Property proposal/Place#KML link. This is a proposed property on Wikidata that would allow Wikidata items to store a link to a KML file on any wiki. That would mean that you would be able to link Welsh Wikipedia articles to English Wikipedia KML files, or vice versa. Obviously, it would be nice if we could keep the KML data itself on Wikidata. Eventually, if that is made possible, we would be able to use the saved URLs to import the KML data to Wikidata. Thought you might want to know what we were working on to help make your suggestion possible! —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 06:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Llywelyn, If it is just a handful of replacements, why can't you just type them in the Find and Replacements box (Normal settings)? — Ganeshk (talk) 02:46, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Here is what you do:

1. Start AWB and add a normal replacement line, {{Flag|Argentina}} with {{Flag|Yr Ariannin}}.
2. File - Save settings and save it to file.
3. Open the CSV file in Excel or OpenOffice Calc.
4. Create a new formula column that creates a concatenated string like this: <Replacement><Find>{{Flag|Argentina}}</Find><Replace>{{Flag|Yr Ariannin}}</Replace><Comment /><IsRegex>false</IsRegex><Enabled>true</Enabled><Minor>false</Minor><BeforeOrAfter>false</BeforeOrAfter><RegularExpressionOptions>IgnoreCase</RegularExpressionOptions></Replacement>. The country names in the formula in C1 will be adjacent cells, A1 and B1.
5. Copy the formula across all rows.
6. Save the content from this new column to text file.
7. Copy paste the text file contents in the Replacement section of the settings file created in step 2.
8. Open AWB and load the settings file.
9. All the replacements should be loaded.

Let me know if you have any questions. — Ganeshk (talk) 02:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I copied / pasted Argentina to other fields (as in Step 4), but they all remain as "Argentina / Ariannin" rather than change to different names. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 13:09, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The formula must use cell references in place of Argentina/Arianin. Something like this:

In OpenCalc

=CONCATENATE("<Replacement><Find>{{";A1;"}}</Find><Replace>{{Flag|";B1;"}}</Replace><Comment /><IsRegex>false</IsRegex><Enabled>true</Enabled><Minor>false</Minor><BeforeOrAfter>false</BeforeOrAfter><RegularExpressionOptions>IgnoreCase</RegularExpressionOptions></Replacement>")

In Excel

=CONCATENATE("<Replacement><Find>{{",A1,"}}</Find><Replace>{{Flag|",B1,"}}</Replace><Comment /><IsRegex>false</IsRegex><Enabled>true</Enabled><Minor>false</Minor><BeforeOrAfter>false</BeforeOrAfter><RegularExpressionOptions>IgnoreCase</RegularExpressionOptions></Replacement>")

You're a Welsh Wizzzard! Diolch. I can use this to multi-replace spelling mistakes. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 15:17, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any clues please? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 14:05, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want insert a new sentence into the article, you will need to do a Find and Replace. Find something that is common to all articles, last few words of the previous sentence, and replace it with "the last few words" + "new sentence". Hope that makes sense. It is tricky though; make sure the sentence being replaced is unique and occurs only once in the article. — Ganeshk (talk) 16:09, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence insert can be done in any paragraph, end of 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Please give me an example of what you are trying to do. — Ganeshk (talk) 02:29, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is not trivial. I don't think AWB/CSVLoader have the functionality to insert a new line after the 2nd paragraph. — Ganeshk (talk) 14:35, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever reasoning may have been behind this edit (almost a year ago), it's quite out of order for you to call it "vandalism". The edit may have been justified on genetic (rather than language) grounds, and other editors of that article don't seem to have had a problem with it. I suggest you withdraw this slur, and be a bit more careful. WP:AGF, etc. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:21, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The same "reasoning" was used in his Wales / Argentina edit discussed here. Obviously not one-off. As far as 'vandalism' is concerned, the Welsh definition is very different to that refered to by you, and has been retracted. Thanks. If the Brettons and English are related, then he should have referenced that information. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 10:53, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the parallels between the two edits. There is a discussion over the meaning of the term "native" as applied to languages; there is another debate over the extent to which both Welsh and Bretons are genetically (rather than culturally) related to the English (that is, the descendants of the Brythonic-speaking inhabitants in England who later adopted the Anglo-Saxon language). That's how I interpreted it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:00, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I interprete it very differently, I can assure you! To follow your reasoning, Adam and Eve would also be listed! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 12:08, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The "Related groups" parameter in the ethnic groups infobox is a problematic one, and has been much discussed. We could argue at length as to the differences between genetic and cultural criteria of ethnicity, not to mention the extent to which the differences between English and Welsh have been blurred by inward and outward migration over the centuries. But that's not for here. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:17, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dw i'n gwneud pob math o olygiadau ar y wici Sbaenaidd: creu erthyglau, cyfieithu neu ehangu a gwella erthyglau a hyd yn oed y gwaith tŷ o drin y manion. Mae gen i gynllun fentora hefyd lle ceisiaf gynorthywo defnyddwyr newydd. Fy hoff ddiddordebau ydy cysgu, yfed cwrw, pensaerniaeth a seryddiaeth.

Mae gen i filoedd o ddilynwyr ar rwydweithiau cymdeithasol, ond does neb yn rhoi cyflog i mi am hynny ac felly mae'n rhaid i mi weithio yn fy ngwaith pob dydd (a dw i'n hynod o ddiog!) :/

Felly gan nad ydw i'n dymuno gweithio chwaneg (ddywedais i mod i'n ddiog dudwch?) gwnewch ddolen i fy nhudalen defnyddiwr Sbaeneg - a chewch wneud popeth arall sydd angen ei wneud!

Henffych!

Dear Robin,

Thanks for organizing the first ever Wikipedia Edit-a-thon in Wales!

Would you and your collaborators be interested in writing a story about what you learned from this event for the Wikimedia blog? Throughout the month of March, we will be featuring stories about women and Wikipedia, and the theme of your edit-a-thon on "Women and Justice" would seem like a good fit.

Please let me know if you are interested and we can continue this discussion by email (I am fflorin at wikimedia dot org).

Thanks again, and hope to speak with you soon! Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 20:04, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Saw your note on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. I had a look at the unmatched entries. The DNB entry for RICHARD MORGAN OWEN is in en, fr and it Wikis as Dicky Owen.

@Daicaregos:Shw mae Dai? Andrew Grey has some instructions on here. Basically, you need to log in to WiDaR here and select 'Allow'. Then match WikiData to the Dictionary of Welsh Biography entry by using MixNMatch. MixNMatch has a list of DWB articles already prepared, so it's a matter of working down the list. The Qnumber identifier is copied from Wikidata to the MixNmatch. All the best. Have a go, and if you need help, we could Skype. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 16:43, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Found a few sportsmen. Most of the preachers/ministers (which make up a fair number) I wouldn't have a clue where to start looking. Found a couple of notables too, including an MP, but they were redlinked on the Wiki, so left them. Also, do you have any suggestions for the 'family' entries? e.g. Lort, Owen, Scudamore. Wiki tends to have articles on the family members rather than the family itself. Daicaregos (talk) 13:52, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Heia Robin, are the Wikidata additions at List of Welsh people anything to do with you? It may have a few issues. The file size is enormous. Before the Wikidata update it was 63,890. It is now 412,870 bytes. Page loading took a little longer than usual on my computer. I dread to think how long it would take on a mobile. I noticed that an editor made a few corrections (just things like amending 'Welsh' to begin with upper case from lower case). The Wikidata update reverted those corrections. The inclusion criteria seem to be place of birth. Consequently, people like Christian Bale and Ian Hislop (who self-identify as English) are included, whereas people like Dafydd Wigley and David Lloyd George are not. Thoughts? Daicaregos (talk) 11:07, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bore da Dai! Yes, it was on cy-wiki for a few months, before I copied the code onto en-wiki; it's also now on vi-wiki. File size: the Wikidata (WD) list could be formed into a totally new article, or the list could be broken down further eg gender or by century of birth. The increase in bytes you mention comes from the fact that WD is being continuously developed - new people added, dob etc, especially by Jason, Marc and myself. As this update is done by a bot (Listeria), it's automatic, which means info is up to date. In a few years we will not need to update infoboxes on WP with new information, as it will be called from Wikidata eg as soon as the new Swansea football team is announced, the update will automatically on the team and every player automatically. So, from a Wales perspective, this is really important. This is a very relevant start - people - but other projects could quickly follow eg list of female, Welsh scientists... They can also be copied to other wikis which have zilch on us! The vi-wiki I refered to is a start, I've also started a eu-wiki (Basque) with a short video on how to amend WD database. 'editor made a few corrections' - Dai, all this info in the list comes from WD, so any corrections need to be done in WD (that is actually stated just above the list); can't see a lower case 'w' at the moment - it might have been corrected in WD. This list helps to pinpoint those corrections. It's an evolving list, which, just like Wikipedia, will grow over the next few months (years!) 'Inclusion criteria' - I'll address this asap; we do have place of birth, but there are other items we can call on including being able to speak Welsh, ethnic group (yes!). Having said this, WD does not accept Wales under 'country of citizenship', and many of my edits have been removed - it's a battle. PS we need a wikimeet in Cardiff asap, to discuss things like this! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 18:37, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Aye. Sounds interesting. This was the edit I referred to. Isn't there a recommended upper limit for file size? Is this page now over it? Look forward to discussing this (and other things) with you. Sometime in mid March perhaps? Pob hwyl, Daicaregos (talk) 08:43, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Daicaregos: All now in Upper case! Next job: change all instances of 'British' to 'Welsh'! PS Shall we move the list to its own page? Or leave alone? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 11:20, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck with the next job, considering WD does not accept Wales under 'country of citizenship'. Why on earth not? Need any help? I am concerned that including English people (e.g. Christian Bale and Ian Hislop) and excluding Welsh people (e.g. Dafydd Wigley and David Lloyd George) from the Wikidata list calls its accuracy into question.

Yes, move the list to its own page. WP:TOOBIG says any article over 100 kB should be split into logically separate articles, although they note that this applies less to lists (as here). WP:SPINOUT says 'Long stand-alone list articles are split into subsequent pages alphabetically, numerically, or subtopically.' It can be linked under 'See also'.

The WD list should be very useful to check that the original list is complete (in respect of Wikipedia articles). Do you know of a way to highlight entries appearing on one list but not the other? Daicaregos (talk) 12:10, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just moved to a new page Dai. There are many items called by this code:: {{Wikidata list<br> |sparql=SELECT ?item WHERE { { ?item wdt:P19 ?pob . ?pob wdt:P131* wd:Q25 } . } |wdq=. |sort=569 |section=31 |columns=number:#,P18,label,description,P569,P570,P19,P1532 }}

the last but long line creates the columns. Q25 is Wales. On the article '2015' on cywiki, I've added the meaning of the P and Q codes and maybe I'll do that here; yes it's useful, but the main battle front line has now moved to WD! We can capture anyone born in Wales, as all towns (hopefully!) and counties have an item P131 ( located in the administrative territorial entity), and you can enter 'Cymru'. Take a look at monmouthshire for example. So, if anyone is born at Usk, then a connection is made straight up the tree to Monmouthshire, which has the P131 code. Yes, there exceptions, but we're getting there! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 17:17, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you put this article into English on here?♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:34, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: Hi. The notability criteria is different. On cy-wiki the editor can create an article on ANY published book. On en-wiki, it depends if your hat fits. Usually, when I put anything based on Wales, it gets taken down. That's the the problem of diversity v the majority: the bullies always win 'in the name of democracy'.

As stated in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, especially the section WP:NOTGALLERY "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files"
Specifically precluded are "Photographs or media files with no accompanying text."

2576 images in the John Thomas (photographer) article is ridiculous - please select say 10-12 images, that are particularly important, write some decent explanatory text as to what the image shows, why it was selected, and why it is important, what impact it had, where it was used, what camera, film and other photographic equipment was used - and delete the rest. Yes I do mean delete over 2,500 images. Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 15:24, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Ridiculous" doesn't belong to my lips my dear friend. Does it help you to get your message over? Sad. Things have moved on since Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not was written, and maybe enwiki should catch up with the rest, Wikidata, large servers, increase in RAMs etc have increased. Take a seagull look at your question from the reader's perspective - what would they like to see? - 4 or 5 hand picked images, and the rest censored by conservative constraints, or to view all the photographs taken by this renowned photographer.

To move on, I've now copied the usual method of displaying such images on enwiki - I've created List of photographs by John Thomas, as has been done to show many other paintings, photographs etc. See: List of canonically crowned images, List of works by Vincent van Gogh and a few hundred others. Thank you! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 08:15, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, Llywelyn2000, on your mammoth effort in constructing this list. Is it part of User:Dr. Blofeld's Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon/Entries? It would a great shame if, as Arjayay suggests above, it should have to be removed for policy reasons. But I can't find anything that's 100% clear in policy. The list you have made here certainly aids viewing and sorting, so looks to me like a very useful enhancement of the original source. It seems senseless to have 2575 images at Commons and not use them somewhere. One question - what has happened to image number 1?? Martinevans123 (talk) 09:07, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be adding video which are the copyright of NRW as here which is copied from here. Please clarify why you think this acceptable and whether the same issues affect the other videos that you have added?  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   20:21, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looking further, it is clear that NRW have released it under a standard Wikipedia compliant licence but which requires all re-use to provide an attribution of source As far as I can tell, your additions contain no acknowledgement of source (NRW).  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   07:10, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The uploaded information on every video uploaded into the NLW category has the correct information: they all iclude the {{cc-by-4.0}} licence clearly and also has the source in the form of a link to their You Tube account. For example the Bala Lake video, you mention, has a link to the source (You Tube), where cc-by-4.0 is specified clearly, which is enough. Are you saying that this information ALSO needs to be added as text underneath the video? That's a new one on me! Can easily be done, but on most language wikis such information is frowned upon as it verges on commercial marketing! If so, then do all similar BY images on enwiki include the name of the copyright holder in the text underneath the image? Interesting! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 07:46, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Llywelyn2000. I saw your discussion and I agree with Femkemilene that the video needs to be updated especially re her point 1, but as a lot of it is very good and the topic is so important I think that is worth doing. For example change the last sentence to remove "If" from "If our climate is changing". Anyway I guess NRW would like to now trumpet Wales's 2050 carbon neutral target. Might I suggest that once it has been updated you add it to the Simple English article simple:Global warming. Although there is one video there now yours presents the info a bit differently so both would be good I think. The video now on the Simple English article only mentions individual actions for mitigation. Not sure how political NRW can be but the children's recent actions could perhaps also be mentioned.

If I understood right we can change the language of the captions in Wikimedia Commons and add new languages? I was a bit confused about this as when I viewed the video on the Welsh article I did not see any captions. Not that I speak Welsh but I am currently looking at the Turkish article on global warming and considering adding Wikimedia Commons graphics and videos which are easily translatable. Regards Chidgk1 (talk) 09:29, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea! I'll discuss further with NRW! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 05:02, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Urdd Gobaith Cymru, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bala (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I received your Wikipedia email requesting an unblock for you and your bot. User:Llywelyn2000 is not blocked and apparently never has been. What you refer to as "my bot" user:BOT-Twm Crys does not have the bot-flag set, and does not appear to be an approved bot. It is not OK to run an unapproved bot, see Wikipedia:Bot policy, Wikipedia:Bot requests, and Help:Creating a bot, Also, I do not see any disclosure that user:BOT-Twm Crys is an alternate account of yours.

Unblock requests are normally handled on-wiki unless there are confidential issues involved 9which does not seem to be the case here) or talk pag access has also been blocked (whoich is not the case here). In any case your email did not give any substantive reason for an unblock, and in particualr did not indicate any intention to change the name of user:BOT-Twm Crys. I am not going to do any unblocks on that basis. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 16:15, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was unable to edit my user page and user talk page for the last 48 hours, so email was my only option. Thanks now for lifting that Autoblock. As you mention in you second email: This is intended to prevent a blocked user from logging out and immediately editing while logged out. But in this case it may have caught the Llywelyn2000 account. I have accordingly changed the block settings on BOT-Twm Crys to omit this autoblock. Whatever the problem was, it is now solved. Thanks!

My bot. Just to be clear: I never have, and never will want bot status on enwiki. BOT-Twm Crys left one single erroneous edit on enwiki, translating the months of the year from English to Welsh within a template, and it was obviously an error, meant to be published on cywiki. I've translated and adapted around a thousand templates (en -> cy), so one error isn't bad! I agreed with the enwiki ban. But if it's 'catching the Llywelyn2000 account' then it needs reviewing. The fact that I run BOT-Twm Crys has always been clear and can be found on the first top line on the bot's user page, in bold. I've now added it on enwiki.

Bore da! I really like your page 'List of Welsh Government Covid-19 press conference vidoes' (apart from the spelling of 'vids'!- apols for the nitpick) that was recently unlinked from the UK Covid page. Would it be worth turning it into a proper Wiki list page? I can see the possibilities for it to be linked from the Covid Wales/ UK/ Europe pages at least. Regards, Yadsalohcin (talk) 11:15, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yadsalohcin: Hi there! And many thanks for your positive comments. I'n not sure which article you refer to, but yes, of course, it would be wonderful if it could be put on as a list-article. It may inspire other editors to approach their governments to release their studff on open licences, so yes, feel free to create such a page. Diolch yn fawr! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 12:27, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I said 'which list you refer to', when I meant 'which "unlinking" you refer to'! However, I've just seen the edits and agree totally that it shouldn't have been placed there in the first place! But, yes, please go ahead, if you have the time. All the best! I'll the add the new videos as they come in. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 14:10, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Llywelyn2000. I have recently tagged your list article (you created the draft and another user published it) for speedy deletion. May I ask what is the significance of having that article? Governments do protocol videos all the time, and the synopsis reads like a howto guide. Compiling videos of the same genre is allowed on Wikimedia Commons by making a category, if compiling is your intention. You stated you work for Wikimedia UK which is also subjected in the list, so I also suspect a COI in role, though I don't want to draw conclusions quickly. Only sources cited are YT and BBC-- the BBC sources are simply videos, so it doesn't seem to indicate any notability too. Although you have no affiliation with the article pushed to the mainspace, if you can give clarifications and objections to the tagging, it would be appreciated. GeraldWL 08:09, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notification. You refer to List of Welsh Government COVID-19 press conference videos. I've corrected your heading (above), and wonder why did you leave out the words Welsh Government? You ask me to object to the tagging. I may respond to your speedy deletion request on the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Welsh Government COVID-19 press conference videos page, as is usual, rather than here. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 03:57, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, @Llywelyn2000:- it would seem that my efforts to help have so far backfired and there is an overwhelming sentiment among other wiki editors that the videos article shouldn't be there. I thought I'd try uploading them at Wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia Commons, but I am struggling at the first hurdle- the file locations I can easily grab from the article aren't accepted by the upload process. Looking ahead, I can envisage difficulty in finding where the open Creative Commons licence and/or the OGL licence might be found. Do you have any advice? Yadsalohcin (talk) 09:26, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yadsalohcin, it seems like Llywelyn2000 created a category bringing together all the conference videos on Wikimedia Commons. That should serve well as an alternative to the video article, which should be deleted as soon as an admin decides to. Datas from Wikidata can be used to enhance the category page, see this category as an example (notice the sidebar). You can also make them a featured media if you want to take things to the next level. Cheers, GeraldWL 09:37, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Yadsalohcin: don't worry at all: life's too short! The press conferences videos are up on c:User:Llywelyn2000/List of Welsh GovCOVID-19 videos where the 'main points' text can be searched in a useful way. To see the original licence: take a look at the Welsh Government's YouTube channel and select any of their 1,700 videos. Scroll down to 'Show more' and you will find their CC-BY licence. As they're a government, all their files are also OGL protected. We can upload all of the videos, but at the moment there isn't a suitable tool. All the best! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 09:45, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Llywelyn2000: and @Gerald Waldo Luis:, thanks for the above. I can see the videos at the commons/ these files place. That'll do for now- Yes, life's too short, and as the basic content is there I don't propose to learn to find my way around W/Media and W/Data which I haven't needed in my W/Pedia editing to date and see little likelihood of needing in the foreseeable.

Hi, once again! I've corrected ad expanded slightly dyodiad as it's used in Porth Termau Cenedlaethol Cymru, the Coleg Cymraeg / Bangor University's main dictionary. Day to day, I would use "dyddodiad", but that's irrelevant! I'm unsure as to "dyddodiad (meteorology)" (Precipitation (meteorology))); there is no separate article in English either, only a redirect, so maybe remove the link?

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi, it looks like your Renewable energy in Wales contains a lot of wording similar to that in https://gov.wales/sites/default/files/publications/2021-01/energy-generation-in-wales-2019.pdf (see this). Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure works of the UK government are protected by Crown copyright, which means that your article contains significant copyright violations. Generally I'd nominate such an article for WP:G12 speedy deletion, but the article isn't entirely a violation, so I'd suggest removing the violations quickly, and replacing them with text written in your own words (if not dealt with, I will do so at some point in the near-ish future). If there's some circumstance making the document used public domain, that's also fine, though attribution in the article would be necessary. Thanks!
