Used, in 1952, to live in my flat 15 Kensington Court Gardens, London W8 5QF.  This was in 1970 a very dark and damp basement flat with no modern facilities, which was frankly very squalid. How did she end up there I wonder, far from sunny Ceylon and the planter lifestyle?

thread_title:  Some things to add 

message: Despite receiving lots of visitors and having a lot of Japanese resources devoted to this area, it is still not widely understood in the English literature. I've attempted to flesh it out a bit, given I did a 2 week pilgrimage here and really took my time to try to understand the area. I especially drew on the Kumano Kodo official guidebooks and the Lonely Planet guidebook, though there are many more Japanese language books that I can't read except for going through them with machine translation. This is an incredible place and I hope you enjoy learning about it. 
There is also a massive wealth of English language information available from the Kumano Travel site and the respective Information Centers dotted throughout Wakayama, as well as the Wakayama Prefecture itself. I was recommended that you should contact the prefecture for information. Why the information is available in English only in-person at these information offices is beyond me, but there are some great maps and pamphlets which I have used for the romanisation and a fair few details.

message: :drilling to bedrock at Dye 3 began in the summer of 1979
Are more precise dates available here? The poetic phrasing "summer of 1979" is not encyclopedic and it is a violation of the Manual of Style. It is ambiguous because it is not summer at the same time all over the world and Wikipedia is supposed to cater to a global audience. If a more precise date can be supplied from primary references, eg: "February, 1979", it should be used instead. --<SPAN STYLE="font-family:monospace; color:#008800; background-color:#ffffcc; border:1px solid #ff4444;"> B.D.Mills </SPAN> (T, C) 23:47, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

: Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful.

Talk:Grittleton

message: Hi,
I tried to add a link to an annual residential chamber music course called the Grittleton Chamber Music Course (link http://grittleton.org/index.htm). This was removed the following day. I assume that I've broken the rules in some way, but since I don't know how to go about getting a wikipedia reference to this course, perhaps whoever removed the link would be kind enough to suggest how this course could get a mention.
Whilst I understand that the course no longer has any conection with the town/village of Grittleton it gets its name from it, and is quite well known in the amateur chamber music world. Should I try to create a new page, or will that be censored?
I'm new to editing wikipedia, and so far have had my attempts att contribution removed very quickly, without any helpful suggestions or explanations.

This title should become a DAB listing this, Hetton, Tyne and Wear parish, Hetton-le-Hole, Hetton railway station, Hetton-le-Hole and South Hetton. The parish of "Hetton" in Tyne and Wear could arguably have a separate article as like Crowmarsh Gifford/Crowmarsh it was formed from amalgamating the former "Hetton le Hole" parish with others but otherwise "Hetton" is an alternative name of "Hetton-le-Hole" so maybe doesn't like Aston-on-Trent/Aston upon Trent.

message: I see that someone recently changed this page into a redirect to UNSW College of Fine Arts, and then copied all the information there.

If it is desired to move the page to another name, that's fine, but (1) Please ensure that there is consensus for the move, by suggesting it on the talkpage to see if there are any objections; and (2) Please accomplish a move with the "move" tab at the top of the page, and not by copy/pasting.

Talk:Spanner (journal)

message: A different take on the noun spanner here. In the article, the journal Spanner is "so-called because it aimed to ‘span’ opinion across the...".
 
However, spanner does also, historically, have a slightly subversive connotation - "a spanner in the works". 
This usage refers to sabotaging early assembly lines where, for example, automobiles to be assembled, were moved along the line by way of chains below the factory floor. 
The chains connected through slits in the floor to the carriage onto which the car was affixed.
If a worker was for some reason dissatisfied with work conditions (the word 'disgruntled' comes to mind) it was easy to drop a spanner down the slit and stop the line for a while; thus "a spanner in the works".
