User talk:PamD#Cambridge Scholars Publishing

Hello Pam D,

Can I enlist your help, please? Not wishing to start an editing dispute, over my recent fair additions to Mandell Creighton's article, mainly, the omission of his wife's image and the important project she founded in her husband's memory in Lillie Road, Fulham, i.e. "Bishop Creighton House", could you look and see if the recent 'trims' of my work are over-zealous, not to say proprietorial. In fact, they make me laugh. Nevertheless, your judgment in the matter would be appreciated when you have a moment. Many thanks, Po Mieczu (talk) 00:04, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:I've made a bit of a change, as a compromise between your version and the over-trimmed one, and a comment on the disappearance of the photo. The Lillie Road article could perhaps have a bit more about the settlement, rather than just a list entry and an image? PamD 08:49, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:Could I also recommend that you create a user page - even if it only contains a single full stop. There's a tendency for editors to see, perhaps even subliminally, "red linked editor = new / inexperienced / odd", and also I often edit on my phone and from there it is very difficult to see the contributions record of an editor without a user page, which I wanted to do to see your range of editing interests. (Mobile editing is a bit of a nightmare, but is convenient for me at some times of day). PamD 08:56, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:::Thank you for your helpful remarks and actions. I see, as doubtless you did, that these have been trimmed too! Hmm, certain psychological proclivities come to mind. I shall act on your suggestion around the full stop. Best wishes, Po Mieczu (talk) 19:26, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

::::I see signs of WP:OWNership, but I suppose that's inevitable if one is trying to get something to FA: it just looks as if FA criteria about elegant spacing etc are overweighing actual "is the reader likely to find this interesting or useful" criteria: I think the pic with his name for the house, and also the info showing that the charity is alive and well and an officially registered charity, are worthwhile, but I'm afraid I haven't the energy to fight further. PamD 23:31, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::Hello again. Like you, having lacked energy of late, I did not follow up your recommendation re User profile until now. I have made a start. Thanks, Po Mieczu (talk) 00:32, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::Back after a pause, on this Mum's Day and have ventured back onto the Mandell Creighton Talk page. I think there's an error in the infobox. I'm not an Anglican, but don't clergy have to be ordained before being consecrated bishop? In this case the consecration appears to be 1891 and the ordination in 1893. Maybe I have misunderstood something in the order of Church play. Btw thanks to you, I have expanded on the full stop on my own Talk Page and am now all in blue like a newish UK passport! Best wishes, Po Mieczu (talk) 17:37, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::@Po Mieczu Text of article shows ordination 1873, but I'll leave it to the article's apparent Owner to fix it: I see you've raised it on talk page. PamD 18:02, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Precisely. Thank you for your eagle-eye. Po Mieczu (talk) 20:30, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Abbey House Museum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Judges lodgings.

:@Clovermoss Thank you. I'm happy to help by explaining stuff: there's always something new to learn about editing! PamD 23:07, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello Pamd. Tawinan Anukoolprasert, Jiratchapong Srisang, Thasorn Klinnium, Polytechnic University, Dawei, if you happen to have some time, I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly review the article and share your feedback. Your insights and valuable suggestions are highly respected and would contribute meaningfully to its improvement.

:@Yuzy Okkotsu1 The lead sentence and the infobox should tell us which country the uni is in. Please use the "trans-title" field to add an English version of your reference titles. There's a ref which has the wrong info as "first" and "last". PamD 05:34, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you for your feedback. I have updated the article accordingly. Added the country name to both the lead sentence and the infobox, as per the guidelines. Included English translations for non-English source titles using the trans-title parameter. Corrected the first and last fields in the citations to accurately reflect the authors' names.Yuzy (talk) 06:17, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

:::I don't know which article you've updated, but Polytechnic University, Dawei still doesn't show the country or the English titles of the articles.

:::I have very little interest in actors of any nationality, and I have no idea whether any of those three are Notable in wikipedia terms. But looking at Jiratchapong Srisang I see he is referred to in the text as "Force" (which is mentioned as a nickname), "Jiratchapong", and "Force Jiratchapong", and the DEFAULTSORT for the article is "Srisang, Jiratchapong" although with other sortings for Thai categories. I don't know anything about Thai naming rules but this looks inconsistent: he should be written of in the article using one consistent version of his name, which for a British person would be their family name or surname. Again, that article didn't have translated titles of the non-English references.

:::But, really, I don't feel inclined to spend much more time on a group of actors of any nationality, and I don't think I'm going to do so. Happy Editing! PamD 07:57, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Thank you very much for your detailed feedback, PamD.Yuzy (talk) 08:05, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::I noticed that you redirected the university to its previous name; I have reversed this, creating a new sourced stub about Polytechnic University, Dawei at that title, with redirects from the names of the two previous universities. Please expand the article with sourced information, and copyright-free images, but note that details of all the available courses are not needed in an encyclopedia article. Thanks. PamD 11:06, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::But on further consideration it seems that the commonly-used form of the name is Polytechnic University (Dawei), and I have moved the article to that name. PamD 11:38, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Thank you for the update, PamD. I understand the reasoning behind using Polytechnic University (Dawei) as the article title, and I agree that using the commonly recognized form makes sense. I’ll continue improving the article under the new title. Appreciate your guidance! Yuzy (talk) 11:41, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::::@Yuzy Okkotsu1 Google translate suggests that [https://my.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%80%95%E1%80%AD%E1%80%AF%E1%80%9C%E1%80%AE%E1%80%90%E1%80%80%E1%80%B9%E1%80%80%E1%80%94%E1%80%85%E1%80%BA%E1%80%90%E1%80%80%E1%80%B9%E1%80%80%E1%80%9E%E1%80%AD%E1%80%AF%E1%80%9C%E1%80%BA_(%E1%80%91%E1%80%AC%E1%80%B8%E1%80%9D%E1%80%9A%E1%80%BA) the article in my.wiki] has a couple of sources which might be useful as good sources to expand the article, but I don't read Burmese. Remember to give the English translation of the title of anything you use as a reference. PamD 12:04, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::Thank you, PamD, for your comment. You're right some of the Burmese-language sources used in the article may contain useful information that could help expand or improve it. I will go through the sources and, where appropriate, provide English translations of the titles and summarize their content to support the article more clearly. If you have any suggestions on which parts need more sourcing or elaboration, I’d be happy to work on that as well. Yuzy (talk) 12:07, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

You probably weren't aware because the bot hadn't placed the notice yet, but I opened an RM [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1289437293 less than a minute before] you moved. I personally don't think it's worth moving back procedurally during the RM, but it does seem to be a re-occuring problem with the instructor of the course. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 16:46, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

:Ah, sorry about that, it just seemed an uncontroversial move (I'd seen the discussion). The RM now looks odd: I'll stay away from it. For the second time today I say WP:CIR for tutors is needed! PamD 17:03, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
