Bastille Day DYK set

[edit]

Hi, I was thinking it would be fun to put together a France related set for Bastille Day. Perhaps you have an article you plan to work on that would fit the theme? Best, Thriley (talk) 21:57, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing planned as yet, but I'll have a think. Johnbod (talk) 02:05, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Painshill - landscape garden in Surrey

[edit]

Hi @Johnbod:
I was wondering if I could ask you for some feedback on the Painshill article? I did some work to expand it earlier this year and am considering nominating it at WP:GAN. Landscape gardens are not my field of expertise, and I thought you might be a good person to consult, particularly as you have several art-related FAs under your belt!
Could I ask you to take a look at the Painshill page and to let me know if you think it has potential for a successful GA nomination please? I’d very much welcome your opinion on the article structure and on any additional points that you think I should try to include. I'd very much value your input. Thanks very much!

Great improvements! On a quick look, certainly seems GA standard. I know the garden. You might move some of the images into mini-galleries. Johnbod (talk) 01:17, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit - my history

[edit]

Hi Johnbod, on the La Tene culture page you removed my previous edit and wrote; "you need to say more than "edited", especially given your history". I was wondering what you think I've done wrong, or that you find particularly objectionable in my editing history. Ario1234 (talk) 02:23, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've read your talk page. Johnbod (talk) 14:33, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sweyn or Swein

[edit]

I have request a move from Sweyn Forkbeard to Swein Forkbeard at Talk:Sweyn Forkbeard#Requested move 7 September 2025. Any comments from you would be helpful. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:38, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you a French speaker

[edit]

You have changed the English translation of the French name (La Partie de bateau) from A Boating Party to The Boating Party, the work we know as The Boating Party says its alternate names include La partie en bateau and it is on FRWP at Promenade en barque. I am just wondering how sure you are about this change.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:14, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sufficiently for this. That "Le/la" is the definite particle (the) and "un/une" the indefinite (a) is pretty basic. Johnbod (talk) 14:49, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello @Johnbod! Letting you know that the Brixton meetup is back at Brixton Library next Monday 29th September at 6pm-8pm if you're nearby and free it would be lovely to see you there! Come along if you'd like to edit and chat with other Wikimedians, I am still on the hunt for a good topic! Colette Lambeth (talk) 18:03, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Polite request

[edit]

I kindly ask that you maintain civility, as this is not [1] I also note that after more than 50 years in the ceramic field (industry, academia and publishing) I have read (and written) a considerable about on the subject

Please learn to sign your contributions! Frankly, I find your claims hard to believe as the terminology is long established and well known. What, according to you, is the point of the term earthenware? Johnbod (talk) 18:52, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am not understanding what are these "claims." And my point of view on the sense of the term, this has no relevance in this discussion, and so also your point of view is not relevant. Regarding the terminology that is established since long time, I have provided many, many citations that are in disagreement with what seems to be only your personal preference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.2.183.171 (talk) 19:00, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As I've explained on the talk, the links your google search came up with are not about "pottery". Johnbod (talk) 19:02, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Many of the links are for glazed terracotta pottery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.2.183.171 (talk) 19:21, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
