This is for you Dave Bevis. For all your hard work adding all the images .... even the ones for other lesser counties! Victuallers (talk) 10:35, 31 October 2010 (UTC) |

On 7 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Newton, Derbyshire, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the George & Dragon pub (present building pictured) at Newton, Derbyshire, was recorded in 1577? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Thanks for letting me know about the bridges. I was struggling to find a ref for the opening of Nursery Street footbridge. Bob1960evens (talk) 11:53, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
I watch this page, and couldn't help but look at your recent edits. I wouldn't normally bother, but I wanted to say thank you and well done. Your additions were really good, plus well referenced as far as I can see, and the images are great. I gather you took them yourself? Anyway, well done and thanks again - HIGHFIELDS (TALK • CONTRIBUTIONS) 16:18, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Dave, I see you have been busy again, with a new section of bridges. I have altered the map by widening it, so that some of those in the Rotherham area can show railway interconnections for context. I have been thinking of nominating the article for a Good Article review, but that will have to go on hold for a bit, unless you can help. There seem to be quite a few railway facts with no refs, and I wondered what your sources were for these. Do you have access to books or atlases that could provide suitable refs for the dates? So for Midland Railway bridges, for instance, there are four dates, and the fact that it is freight only. I don't have anything that covers that sort of stuff.
Also, the Bridge Street Bridge section seems a bit sad. There is a cursory mention of Chantry bridge, which must be one of the most important bridges historically on the whole system. Without the river, the navigation would not be a navigation, so I think we need to cover that one because of its significance. There seem to be lots of facts on the ref you give, and it must have a historical monuments record, too. Regards. Bob1960evens (talk) 12:43, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Dave, I needed a picture for the River Maun article, and found one of yours on Geograph, which had been copied to Commons, so I have used it. Thanks. However, it is called "Mansfield - River Meden Trail", but shows the Maun, as the Meden is quite a bit further north. I don't know that there is much to be done, but thought I would mention it.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Newton, Derbyshire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Matlock. 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! Davebevis,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about why your article submission was declined please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! (t) Josve05a (c) 18:23, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear AFC Help Desk,
I submitted a first draft of the article "Draft:George H Widdows" and this was rejected on notability grounds.
I extended the article and submitted it as a second draft. This was rejected on copyright violation grounds and then it was deleted because it met the speedy-deletion criteria.
Having now read the help articles on copyright, plaguarism and paraphrasing, I feel reasonably confident that I can re-work the article to avoid copyright violations. However, I would be grateful if you could confirm a few things about submitting a further (third) draft:
(a) Please can you confirm that my second draft successfully addressed the notability issues that caused my first draft to be rejected?
(b) Please can you confirm that, for my third draft, I will need to re-input the whole article rather than amend the (now-deleted) text that I submitted as my second draft?
(c) Please can you confirm that I can use the same name for my article as I did when I first submitted it?

On 10 January 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sir George Kenning, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Sir George Kenning called his Derby car showroom Morris House and it was opened by Sir William Morris? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sir George Kenning. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
