Those links are a good start, and you can certainly add them in. Reliable, third-party sources are what we're looking for, and if you can find 4 or 5 of them you can remove the notability tag. For some guidance, see this page. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 20:34, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
Dear Berkh, thank you for your question on my talk page. I've added the refimprove-tag to your article because I felt that an English-language source, if available, would improve the article's verifiability. While it is perfectly OK to add sources in any other language, English should be preferred in the English Wikipedia (see: WP:NONENG). The other tag is just a technical issue, because the use of inline citations is highly encouraged on Wikipedia. Please understand that I do not want to criticize your work in any way. With adding these tags I just wanted to help you to further improve your article. Best regards --Phileasson (talk) 14:13, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wannée Kookboek, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Housekeeper (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Rusluie may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

You beat me to the revert Berkh! I was just going to add "Please see discussion page at the end of "Clogs in the Netherlands" for a rationale." as an edit summary to help user:Hafspajen understand why. I'll leave it in your capable hands. Regards and best wishes for 2014, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 18:19, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the reversion. I would have never thought of looking for a page called XXXX (British). There was no clear link in the Clog page.- My interest is specifically Lancashire and 1623 clogmakers there in 1841- out of an England and Wales total of 3246! Reference: Clitheroe leaflet, and the woodworking tools and techniques used. There are some excellent You Tube videos that appear to suggest that there were two methods to document- the artisan which I did, and the factory system of Walkley's. I will look at the pages again and see what redirects we need to allow a Lancashire readers to hit the right page. I moved the discussion here as it seems if you have been working in this area for a long while.-- Clem Rutter (talk) 09:43, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi Berkh, Martin. This started at a museum display in Clitheroe Castle Museum where we ran a edit-a-thon in September. The photos went into Commons:Category:Clitheroe Castle Museum clogs display and there was a leaflet One Two. Martins page is fully referenced and far better quality than my 2.00 am paragraphs and essentially uses the same sources. I have compared the clog page with its equivalent page shoe and there are some sections missing- I am particularly concerned with the lack of any details on manufacturing (Construction). Briefly there are 4 methods that need adding -
I am not suggesting hat we break the existing structure but just add a section- and do the 4 descriptions. I suspect that we had so many cloggers and clogmakers in Lancashire as the two occupations are not being separated- still that enough for tonight. We can see if anyone else has ideas.-- Clem Rutter (talk) 01:01, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello Martin and Clem. I was on the road yesterday, so I had not the time to think about what you both wrote and the changes Martin made. The (now old) clog page is certainly not ideal in my opinion. The page is meant as an introductory page for a great variety of wooden footwear worldwide. There is quite an amount of pictures of clogs (but there is still much more). From the information available, it is only possible to distill an introduction for European clogs, not for those from Asia or Africa. Because there is such a great variety and manufacturing techniques, the separate pages for "national" clogs seems to me the best place to give information of different national origin, history and manufacturing. I like the recent changes Martin made on the page clog. The paragraphs "Origin", "Manufacture" and "Gallery" seems logical to me. But ... the page, or better the information, is now European centered. Further I think we should try to avoid the paragraph "Manufacturing" becoming a detailed paragraph about techniques and tools used in specific countries. It must stay a general description. So, I like the new paragraphs, but I think it still not ideal. I wil make a few minor adjustments, as you will see. Kind regards, Berkh (talk) 07:15, 30 October 2015 (UTC).
@ClemRutter: BTW, can we stop referring to them as "Lancashire" clogs, particularly since the major manufacturer is in Yorkshire! From my moniker you can deduce a partisan prejudice, but even so "Lancashire" is inaccurate. I would suggest "English" if we want to disambiguate from Welsh, or "British" for the more general case. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 09:28, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
@Martin of Sheffield:The shop where I bought my last pair was on St Leonardsgate in Lancaster- and those were the ones I used while doing a vacation job in a mill in Halton-on-Lune. That was probably in 1973- and they were called Lancashire clogs in the shop. They were of a high back shoe design- but we haven't got much option now and I think we need to make a field trip to Mytholmroyd and buy a neet pair. The only times I have seen 'real clogs' being sold in the south have been at folk festivals. I am fairly laid back about what we call them- but English is a little UKIP, as is British. At home, I would call them Northern clogs- but that doesn't internationalise particularly well. If it is any help I have moved from PGTips to Taylors Yorkshire Tea.
Can I ask you, an the Clogs (British) article you use your (almost trademarked) formatted cite references in the bibliography- is there a reason why you miss out a |ref=harv or a |ref=((sfnRef|TEXT|NUMBER)) so we can establish full linking from sfn-> reflist->Bibliography ? -- Clem Rutter (talk) 10:22, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
