Talk:Vale Royal Abbey

message: - Assuming you're thinking of FA at some point, two thoughts. First, the revised (2011) Cheshire Pevsner has a pretty extensive entry on Vale Royal (pp=646-649). If you've not got access, I'd be happy to photocopy the relevant pages and email them over. Second, any reason why there's not an image at the head of the infobox? Hope you're keeping well and all the best. KJP1 (talk) 08:58, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi ! Many thanks for the suggestions. i) If you don't mind, I'll bite your hand off for the most recent Pevsner! and ii) I don't know really; there don't seem to be actual pictures of the original buildings, and it seemed misleading to use a picture of the modern house? Coincidentally, though, one  has come along and added a map (in the middle of other useful fixes—cheers!) to the IB, which brightens things up considerably. Although there aren't many images to break up the prose, I've got an idea for playing around with maps.I'm under no illusions it's at all ready yet; apart from the Pevsnser—which I was shamefully ignorant of, not knowing much archaeology—there's a lot of historical stuff that should be either there in the first place or in more depth.Thanks, and I hope the world is treating you well too! ——SerialNumber54129 12:49, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem at all. If you just email me, I'll scan the pages and ping them over. There's some useful stuff on the architecture. I'm very lucky to have the Pevsners, although keeping them up to date proves rather expensive. Happy to look anything up as required - I often dip in to see what they  give for Harry's Lutyens war memorials. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 13:31, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason you have the  templates set to Citation Style 2? This seems inconsistent with the format of the other citations. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 04:47, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm afraid I don't understand what that means; but I think they were already in use in the article ()—inline—when I found it. In any case, if there's anything about them you feel you can improve, then of course have at it! ——SerialNumber54129 10:04, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry I wasn't more clear! I meant that the citations of Historic England (which use Template:NHLE) include the parameter |mode=cs2, which sets the citations to Citation Style 2. In CS2, commas are used to separate the elements of a citation rather than periods ( rather than ). Since all the other citation templates use CS1, I went ahead and removed the |mode=cs2 parameter to achieve a consistent format. Hope this helps. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 15:10, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's brilliant! Thanks very much, I never knew it could be changed like that. Actually, as it goes...I prefer the apostrophes  :) more in line with what I'm used to IRL, if you know what I mean. But that's really useful information, cheers! ——SerialNumber54129 15:14, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Glad my gnoming could be of help! As a sidenote, the generic  template also uses CS2, which is why I replaced it with  in this edit. As you mentioned, all of the CS2 citations were in the article before you expanded it; I apologize for assuming it was you who added them. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 16:05, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: In the lead "The original site at Darnhall was unsatisfactory" - again, am very curious. Ceoil (talk) 11:25, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: PS, the article is great, and am confident it will be back at FAC in a few weeks. Reviewers found nothing more needing than a lick of paint, and having read through twice now, not seeing any structural issues. Ceoil (talk) 16:49, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: @Ceoil, it's in the footnotes; lack of a water supply. As one of those who torpedoed the initial FAC, I agree with your assessment; all the issues here are stylistic issues that derive from grafting two different writing styles together, rather than the kind of structural issues that will need major work. ‑ Iridescent 17:13, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
