Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 04:06, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Canon Davies
editAbsolutely delighted that Canon Davies has an article. I had no idea. I shall see what I can add. On titling, there is neither Ebenezer Davies nor Ebenezer Thomas Davies, so perhaps a simpler title? Or maybe E. T. Davies is how he was best known? He conducted my sister’s wedding, and was a deeply kind and thoughtful man. And he contributed a great deal to the history of my adopted county. KJP1 (talk) 22:01, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Stelvio House, Newport
editHow odd that our paths should cross for a second time. I am thinking of re-naming Stelvio House, Newport to Stelvio House, 15 and 17 Stow Park Circle to enable better coverage of/linkage to the Registered historic Park and Garden. The page's originator hasn't edited for seven years, and you're the next most-prolific contributor. Any objections/thoughts? KJP1 (talk) 07:35, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- It might help you to understand my reply when I disclose that I used the article multiple times like a microbiologist uses a Petrie dish to undertake an experiment - to more quickly learn how to insert links into an article than by accessing Wikipedia Help, which I didn't find easy to understand. That said, I perceive 'Stelvio House, 15 and 17 Stow Park Circle' as compromising the conciseness and intelligibility of 'Stelvio House, Newport'. However, if re-naming the article like this is the only way to enable better coverage/linkage to the Registered historic Park and Garden then so be it. Regardless, there would not appear to be any moral principle at stake here. Consequently, I would not regard re-naming the article as objectionable. I hope this reply is useful.

parenthetical referencing
editI removed the parenthetical referencing that you added to 1859 Welsh revival. That style of referencing has been deprecated on Wikipedia since 2020; see WP:PAREN for details. Also, please use template:blockquote instead of manual indentations, and don't add external URLs in the body. Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 23:11, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
