Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 23:02, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Category:World War II in art

Hello. Actually it is not a metacategory (and it was never), see Template:MetaCat/doc. So please return all the removed files (excepting those included in its subcategories) back. Ain92 (talk) 06:45, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Liberated from Belsen Concentration Camp, 1945 (Art.IWM ART LD 5586).jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion.

Thanks for spotting that - I've added a PD-UKGov license template as Taylor was serving in the British Army when he made the drawing. Best regards 14GTR (talk) 06:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Great work

Fantastic work on St Paul's! When I was there recently I was quite overwhelmed by the avalanche of marble in the crypt. I'm sure there are a few I missed. No Swan So Fine (talk) 07:07, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you very much. It's astonishing just how much sculpture and artwork is in that building and all of it by the very best sculptors of their time. I've enjoyed identifying the artists and subjects and still have several more to do. By the way, I think you managed to cope with the weird light levels in the crypt far better than I did. Thanks again, 14GTR (talk) 07:32, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

George Wade & Lord Henry Norris monument categories

Evening, I had undone the category redirects as they hadn't been used properly. It was evident that a move was attempted without employing a category move; history would have been otherwise lost. If you wish to put forward a category move request I am by no means opposed with the caveat that disambiguation (e.g. Westminster Abbey) is only employed when it's absolutely necessary. All the best.--Labattblueboy (talk) 22:05, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I do want the titles I assigned restored for several reasons. Your choice of Monument of George Wade is poor grammer and not in keeping with the now 100 plus monuments in Westminster Abbey categories. I do not consider adding Westminster Abbey to the titles as disambiguation but simply a more precise discription of the subject as monuments and memorials to these individuals can exist elsewhere. I used redirects as there was no substantial history to be preserved. I would appreciate you restore the assigned title categories as soon as possable.Regards14GTR (talk) 22:15, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure why they would be considered poor grammar. Just because memorials to these individuals may exist elsewhere doesn't mean they do. So while I see the comma disambiguation as largely unnecessary, it's not a hill I'm going to die on, particularly as this is an area where you've made a significant contribution. The concern is not using the move function. If you want to request a speedy delete and then move the categories (likely not necessary to keep the redirect after the move) I have no issue with that.--Labattblueboy (talk) 09:00, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

It is considered poor grammer because, in common English usage, you may refer to a statue of Nelson or to a portrait of Nelson but it would always be a monument to Nelson and a memorial to Nelson. Including the location of the statue, monument or memorial in the category title is not unnecessary but common sense practice and one widely used across this site. As for requesting a speedy delete of the categories in question, I would appreciate it if you did that as you created them and I am not familar with the process. Many thanks. Best regards.14GTR (talk) 11:55, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

I was wondering if the "to" vs "of" was the objection. On this point, there is almost no consistency across monuments and memorials. I have strong doubts you would find agreement on that point. I can't say I agree (well I don't) but once again it's not something I'm going to get overly excited about. On the subject of the move, you will find everything you need at COM:RAC. No time like the present to become familiar particularly if you intend to rename categories in the future. --Labattblueboy (talk) 17:44, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Westminster memorials

Hi, thanks for adding various images of Westminster Abbey memorials. I wondered if you might have one for Vice-Admiral Temple West too? Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 14:15, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

No, I'm afraid not. I think that monument is located in part of the North Choir aisle of the Abbey that is usually used for storing staging so I haven't been able to photograph it yet. If I do manage to do so I'll drop you a line. Best regards 14GTR (talk) 16:46, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
