Accounts

Have you also edited as Babydoll0409 (talk · contribs)? You appear to be editing in the same areas. If so, multiple accounts are generally frowned upon because they can give a misleading impression of who is editing what. It is usual to link both accounts on user pages with a notice saying, e.g. "This is an alternate account of {{User:X}}. Cheers, Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:28, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

I feel like being quite offended. However I will respond politely, please note that this account is the same as Wikipedia and therefore I have decided to keep using this rather than having to log in and out between Wikimedia and Wikipedia. Does that satisfy you? If you had bothered to check the other account has hardly been used recently. Thanks for your pleasant message. Babydoll9799 (talk) 19:31, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

No offence intended. But when one user has two usable accounts, alarm bells ring in Admins' ears. Thanks for clarifying the situation. Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:47, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Category:Baltic Triangle, Liverpool

You will have noticed that when I created that category, I put it in Category:Districts of Liverpool. The reason is that if people know that it is in Liverpool, but don't know that it is in the City Centre, they will still be able to find it. Same applies to Category:Canning, Liverpool. You removed that category, with no explanation. I replaced it, because I think I know what I'm doing. Now you've removed it, again without explanation. If my thinking is in error, please explain your edits in future, otherwise do not ever edit war with me. Thanks. Rodhullandemu (talk) 16:17, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

I take your point but it is not a district it is part of Liverpool city centre. Babydoll9799 (talk) 08:27, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Is Category:Canning, Liverpool a part of the City Centre, or a district of Liverpool, or both? That and Baltic Triangle must be either both or only one. Both have Wikipedia articles. I suggest we respect our users and keep it in both categories. Rodhullandemu (talk) 08:52, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

• You've done it again. I suggest you look on a map of Liverpool. They *are* districts* of Liverpool, de facto if not de jure. If you have a good reason to go against the Council's signage, please, let's hear it? Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:36, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Sorry it goes against your view. Re "against Council's signage, what do you mean? I don't neccessarily believe all council signs anyway with great justification. But my point is they are 'not' districts. They are area's of the city centre therefore if anything they are "area's of the city centre". The Baltic Triangle or Ropewalks are not equal to Norris Green or Walton or Childwall. Ropewalks indeed is hugely new because it was named after the industry from the past in that locality only a few years back. Baltic Triangle is much the same it's a "trendy" term that yeah has caught on so fair do's it's now an area of the city centre. But NOT a district of the city. Can we not have some distinction? Babydoll9799 (talk) 15:28, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

The only alternative would be to put these under City Centre, Liverpool. However, categories are for navigation, not definition. If a user comes along knowing that Ropewalks is in Liverpool they might start at Districts of Liverpool. I would suggest that the council know what and where things are in their own city so their signs should be trusted. Now, if you'll forgive me, I have the balance of 1567 listed buildings and about 4000 Ordnance Survey benchmarks to photograph and categorise, so I am too busy to argue minutiae; I'd be grateful if you trust the instinct of an experienced editor on this one. Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 16:04, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Category:Utting Avenue bridge on Canada Dock Branch

If you look at the council's own map of Anfield Ward, the bridge straddles the boundary of Anfield and Clubmoor. The boundary goes along the centre of the Canada Dock Branch. Therefore, at least part of the bridge in in Clubmoor, so that category is correct. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:25, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your (swift) notification.

Sorry I do disagree otherwise I would not have edited. I will challenge only one, Stanley Park Avenue is 100 percent not debatable. It is Anfield. Clubmoor is some distance to the right/east. Babydoll9799 (talk) 20:33, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

You don't just revert an Admin who has not only looked at the maps, but been there and photographed this. You discuss. Provide evidence or be blocked. Bit I agree Stanley Park Avenue bridge is in Anfield, if not Walton. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:35, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Funny that you "just reverted" my edit without discussion.

Whether you took the photo or not well sorry it's not Clubmoor it's Anfield. Clubmoor is some distance away to the right on the map. To say you're an admin is quite pompous. My edits were done in good faith. I would not have done so if I felt I was making a mistake either. Discuss that. You've come across quite high and mighty all I am doing is making constructive edits. Babydoll9799 (talk) 20:42, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Sorry you feel that way but I've spent years walking the streets of Liverpool and elsewhere taking photos and although I don't always get things right, I do take steps to be as accurate as possible, so if people just remove my stuff without even the courtesy of an edit summary, I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time. Some of your edits are constructive, but the ones of the Eye & Ear Infirmary and Sheltering Home on Myrtle Street could have gone straight into those categories, rather than leaving me to do it. I have little time left here to do all the work I can. Thanks. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:51, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

I too don't always get things right. I haven't edited for some time and upon checking I felt there were some corrections needed or a 'clean up' if you will. I have no desire to step on anyone's toes or upset anyone but I would safely edit something I feel confident on or leave it to someone else. You know I've edited before.

Category:Townsend Avenue and Utting Avenue roundabout

Townsend Avenue and Utting Avenue roundabout has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Eldonian Village

Why do you think this is not a district in Liverpool? It's certainly in Liverpool, I've spent the last two Sundays there. It's certainly an identifiable district. It even has its own community centre, the Eldonian Village Hall. Perhaps you would care to discuss these things in future before unilaterally removing them. That's not collegial or constructive. Thanks. Rodhullandemu (talk) 17:49, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

== Mate, you're doing this again. It's in the Vauxhall area. Eldonian Village is part of Vauxhall. I know this is hard to understand, but Eldonian Village is the first of two (Athol Village the other) of housing estates built on the other side of Vauxhall Road from the 1980's. But it's in Vauxhall. Don't even go there trying to justify it with me my family are from Scotland Road I am very well aware of the area. I'm not sure why you keep behaving like this when I correct your dubious edits. Babydoll9799 (talk) 19:24, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

You don't "correct my dubious edits". You impose your own will on this project without any discussion. I know Eldonian Village is in Vauxhall, I've taken over 300 photos there in the last few weeks. But consider this: someone has heard of Eldonian Village, and knows that it's in Liverpool, but doesn't know that it's in Vauxhall, of which they might never have heard. So they go to Category:Districts of Liverpool, and find it there. Job done, l satisfied customer. There's no error in calling is a District of Liverpool, and the same applies to Ropewalks, Baltic Triangle, Canning, Chinatown etc. I know you don't spend much time here, but if you did, you'd get used to making categories helpful. As for family, my family are from Scotland Road c. 1890. My great aunt was born in Wilbraham Street and my g-g-grandfather had his carter's yard in Newsham Street, so don't try to play that card, please. Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:46, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

I agree that places should be given a page, but Eldonian Village is within the Vauxhall area. It's not an area itself. It's a housing estate within Vauxhall. I'm not a photographer like you but I am just keeping a watch that the photo's go in the right places. Babydoll9799 (talk) 10:29, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

It is, however a defined place, and as far as Commons goes, it can have its own category. Perhaps you could wait until I've finished my work there. I have to go to the Stanley Lock Flight today, so perhaps I'll have time to fill in some of the gaps. Cheers.
