hi, Hi, can you make a comment about my new project Encyclopine.org?

Hi, Hassocks5489.

I was pleased to see your photo of the K6 phone booth outside St. Mary's in Shoreham. Would you happen to have a phone number for it (if it indeed remains a public phone box with a number)? I am setting up an Easter Treasure Hunt remotely, using Google Earth, and would very much like to enable a small boy to cause the phone to ring. I'd be grateful f you could reply to gordonink at gmail.com before April 2nd, 2015.

Thanks in advance for your attention to the above,

Gordonink

Hi, There are now the majority of war memorials in Surrey listed on the List of public art in Surrey page. I was wondering whether it might be a good idea to split them off onto their own page? I have already mentioned this to Mertbiol (talk · contribs). Regards Murgatroyd49 (talk) 11:57, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Hassocks5489: Just to put a little flesh on the request above: Murgatroyd49 and I would like to split off the War Memorials from the List of public art in Surrey page. If we are to do this, we think it would be worth rethinking the way that we format the list and consider what information should be displayed for each memorial. We have been playing around with some possible layouts at User:Murgatroyd49/sandbox3. We think it is worth exploring these options before formally proposing the split. Would you be able to drop by and let us know what you think please? We have started a discussion at User talk:Murgatroyd49/sandbox3. There is also the question of breaking up the table, by grouping the memorials into different categories by design/appearance.

I have half an eye on a potential Featured List nomination in the very far future, so I am keen to make sure that any formatting and categorisation decisions we take now would not prevent a successful nomination.

Thanks and best wishes Mertbiol (talk) 12:17, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Murgatroyd49 and Mertbiol – thanks for this. I'm a bit pressed for time in the next few days, but will drop by at the sandbox and make suggestions as I see fit: I have some thoughts about effective list formats based on similar lists I've done in the past. I have the new Surrey Pevsner, so I can add refs from that where applicable. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 10:07, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe check out User:MusikAnimal/confirmationRollback.js (I tested it, it works) or User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/ConfirmRollback.js for more detailed configuration. Polygnotus (talk) 10:08, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Polygnotus; I'll take a look at those in the next few days and install one. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 10:08, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I've created a signup page: m:Meetup/Brighton/4. :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:27, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nice one; look forward to seeing you then! Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:39, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Next Saturday! Still up for it? Do you have any sources that might be useful for this draft? I have the Pevsner City Guide and the New Encyclopaedia of Brighton to add. I can't find it in the Guide to the Buildings of Brighton. Can you think of anywhere else? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:43, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hope all is well with you! I'll certainly be there. Hopefully the trains will be running on West Coastway, unlike last Saturday when I was going into Brighton at about the same time: had to walk in the end (damaged third rail at Barnham was dislodging trains' shoegears!). I should be there for about 1120–1130 and will try to grab that quiet Table 78 in the corner. On Preston Circus: I can certainly dig up some extra bits. Let me see what I can find in the next 2–3 days. Incidentally it was intended to be the site of the Corporation Tramways depot (that's why the brewery was demolished), but the corporation realised the site was not strong enough to support the weight of the building and all the trams, due to the Wellesbourne running beneath it. (I will put that bit in with the appropriate sources.) See you on 15th, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 13:44, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
