User talk:Jhamez84/archive4Greater Manchester MapJust took a quick look at the map and I must say I'm impressed! I particularly like the inclusion of the physical geographical features (i.e. rivers and bodies of water). I know it is going to appear that I am obsessed by the Wigan area, but I would like to draw your attention to the exclusion of the Orrell area to the west of the M6 and the adjoining Higher End area. I take it the shaded areas correspond to urban/built up areas? If so a significant urban area is missing. Thanks. Man2 01:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)Man2
Cheshire Outline MapMany many thanks for the work you have done on providing an outline map for Cheshire. I think it will be a good addition to the resources we have in the Cheshire WikiProject. I'll try to get some discussion about it going on our project's talk page, and lets take it from there. Once again, many thanks. DDStretch (talk) 11:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Gtr Man MapHi Jhamez, nice work on the updated map. I think it will be a great addition to the articles. What is your policy on including motorways that are only partly in Greater Manchester?. The Wigan end of the M58 ends at Orrell is inside Gtr Man's boundaries. Could I also make a small suggestion regarding Orrell (sorry!), the two shaded areas to the west of the M6 (and south of the M58) need joining together as the Orrell and Higher End areas at the south of the M58 are contiguous (and is all built up), as are the sections north and south of the M58 at the western side of the M6 (i.e. Orrell and Orrell Post). Thanks for the work you've done, good job! Man2 17:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)Man2
AboveHiya Jhamez. I'm not sure what Jemmy is concerned about, but in terms of the built up areas you can see them on the Wigan Urban Area map and Google Earth. Also all of Billinge Higher End is in Greater Manchester. Billinge Chapel End is on Merseyside.Man2 22:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC)Man2

Manchester editing projectHi Jhamez, I've added my name to the Manchester Project. Thanks for informing me of the project, I too would be especially interested if the project was county wide in its scope. Please let me know of any help I can give on the Royton article. Thanks Man2 02:28, 24 February 2007 (UTC)Man2 HiyaHi Jhamez, I've just added my name to the Manchester Project stating that my interests and expertise mainly involve celebrities and entertainment, mianly films which are set or filmed in the Greater Manchester are. I also agree with Man2 on the Greater Manchetser comment. I do not live in Manchester but rather in the Greater Manchester are (the North- Bury, Bolton, Radcliffe etc). Now I am very naive so could you please tell what being part of this editing community would entail. Thanks :-) Ecco1983 21:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC) Hello againYup your comments made it clearer. Thanks Ecco1983 22:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC) mapsHi mate. After the great work you've done with the Manchester map, I can't help thinking that our London one could do with a bit of work. I dunno if you'd be up for it, but if you have any spare time it'd be great if you could do a similar job with it! Cheers, DJR (T) 00:43, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Greater Manchester Wikiproject - 'did you know'Did you know ...... that 'The world's first true railways started operating from Liverpool Road railway station in Manchester' is not correct. The world's first 'Passenger Carrying' railways started operating from 'Edge Hill Station, in Liverpool'. 80.192.242.187 12:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC) JemmyH.
This is a paragraph from [[1]] .... 'At the start of the 19th century Britain had 2400km (1500 miles) of industrial railway - the next 50 years were to see a massive expansion of the railways that revolutionised transport in Britain and across the world.....'. Further ..... [[2]] According to the 'museum of science and industry', construction of Liverpool Road Railway Station was only started in 1830. That was the year in which the 'Worlds First Scheduled Passenger Railway Service' was launched FROM LIVERPOOL. I would put to you, Sir, that you are wrong! 80.192.242.187 19:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC) JemmyH.

RoytonHi Jhamez, the guy is clearly working to an agenda. I cannot understand why he felt the need to amend the article to include the phrase 'Muslim Asian men'. The problem is that given his political views all you are likely to get from him is the racist ramblings and propaganda of a fringe party rather than anything useful to the article. I hope we can get him blocked. Man2 20:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)Man2
Liverpool & Manchester RailwayAccording to records, the original sheds which the trains left, to pick up passengers for the opening of the L&MR passenger service from Liverpool to Manchester on 15th September, 1830, was Edge Hill, in Liverpool, not Liverpool Road, Manchester, which had not been constructed at that time. The 'warehouse' at Liverpool Road Station, was built as a direct result of the success of the passenger service. 80.192.242.187 23:19, 25 February 2007 (UTC) JemmyH.
Wigan PicturesHi Jhamez, I've been taking at look at geograph.co.uk (the site you suggested for pictures of the area). I've selected several that I think should be included in various Wigan articles. Can you send the instructions on how on add these. Thanks. Man2 17:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)Man2 Maps for info boxes is ScotlandDo the England infoboxes work for Scotland? I have not been able to get the maps to work for Scottish villages and towns, using an infobox like the one on the "Baginton" page. The Scottish infoboxes (different for the England info boxes) that I have been using, say for the "Gretna" page rely on a stock of maps for major places only. I have used some that give a point near by, but there does not seem to be a suiteble map near "New Galloway". Snowman 23:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
JemmyHHi Jhamez. Sorry to appear petty during the following comments but I think they must be made. After a long period of constructive and valued editing, JemmyH appears to have moved back into his previous practices. He removed the phrase "#### is a component area of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan" from all the Borough articles (a phrase both you and I had agreed on) without raising it with us first and made extensive changes to the Orrell article (mainly removing any mention of the 'dreaded' word 'Wigan' from it). I will of course not be drawn into a petty edit war with the guy but I feel that after such a long period of calm and dare I say consensus with the articles, it would be a shame for it to return to the way it was. Thanks. Man2 22:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Man2 He has also amended your edit to the history section of the Billinge Hospital article (I have since reverted it back to your edit) despite the fact it says "Please do not edit this without raising it on Talk as this is the current consensus". This is not on. Man2 22:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Man2
Hi Jhamez. I have an idea regarding the wording of the intro's for the Wigan articles. I think the areas that are contiguous to Wigan (these being Pemberton, Orrell, Ince, Platt Bridge, Winstanley ) should start with the phrase "##### is a component area of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester" and then include the phrase "##### serves as a residential suburb contiguous to Wigan", omitting any references to the previous status as town's or villages (i.e. Ince goes from 'small town' to 'component area', Platt Bridge from 'village' to 'component area'.) And these .... I object STRONGLY to this suggestion! ..... (JemmyH) Anyway, with regards to your suggestion, I personally think it would be a mistake to roll out a formulaic approach exactly like that. ..... (Jhamez) Have to agree with Jemmy on this one ..... (Regan123) (For clarity's sake, the above additions after the signing by 80.192.242.187 (JemmyH) appear also to be from 80.192.242.187 (JemmyH). The person who added this clarificatory parenthetical comment is: DDStretch (talk) 01:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC))
Jhamez, please read my reply to Man2's latest attack, on his talk page, and try to understand my way of thinking. 80.192.242.187 02:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC) JemmyH. No I'm not Man2, that guy controls himself very admirably considering the way JemmyH speaks to him. Although I will admit 100% that my contributions have been utter sarcasm and vandalizm aimed towards JemmyH and have also been 100% against the wikipedia rules, hey if JemmyH can do it then so can I. Now, I bet JemmyH can't own up to the fact that he's vandalized pages and constantly breaks rules in nearly every post (politeness etc). This should be interesting. 80.193.169.137 09:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I can assure all that the above unregistered editor is not me and I will take any necessary steps to confirm this. Thank you. Man2 09:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)Man2
Wigan Urban AreaHi Jhamez. I have put forward a proposal on JemmyH's talk page in order to prevent any possibility of continued editing and re-editing of the Wigan Urban Area article. I propose that in both the WUA article and the Wigan article itself we drop the phrase "tightly" integrated conurbation (as per JemmyH's objection) and replace it with "an integrated conurbation" (i.e. "The historic core of Wigan forms an integrated conurbation along with the areas of Pemberton, Orrell and Ince-in-Makerfield") Do you have any objections to this. Thanks. Man2 16:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)Man2 I propose ...... 'Wigan is within the Wigan Urban Area' for Wigan, and '**** is within the Wigan Urban Area' for EVERY town/village/district which IS in the Wigan Urban Area. This should include Skelmersdale and Upholland as they are also part of the Wigan Urban Area. I object to the phrasing 'the historic core of Wigan'. Wigan is a town. Called Wigan. Let's leave it at that. To keep referring to Wigan as 'Wigan town centre' and 'historical core' is clearly trying to make Wigan sound much bigger than it actually is. Wigan is a placename, Wigan Metropolitan Borough is a unified council controlled area. 80.192.242.187 20:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC) JemmyH.
PS ... I hope you all get the jist of what I mean. Jhamez, you may remove my postings, to your page, whenever you like, if you feel they are intrusive.
AboveHi Jhamez. The following is a copy of my last post to JemmyH's page. It is an attempt to explain the integration of the Orrell/Pemberton/Wigan/Ince areas and why they need special mention over and above the wider non-integrated conurbation of the Met Borough of Wigan. Again apologies for the use of your talk page on a matter not strictly related to you, but I thought the post may be of interest to you. Thanks Man2 22:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)Man2 Jemmy, I'm not trying to show that Wigan is just a 'town centre'. Swinley etc etc are areas of the 'town' of Wigan (i.e. the residential areas that are integral parts of the town itself). The boundaries of Pemberton, Orrell, Wigan and Ince are not separated by green belt at all. This is especially true of the eastern Orrell/Pemberton/Wigan/Ince area. The connection is not made simply be 'road'. Take for example the eastern Orrell/Pemberton boundary, the boundary is marked by a roadsign, where houses on one side of the road are 'Orrell' and the other side is 'Pemberton', you don't get much more 'connected' than that. I would ask that you understand what any aerial photo shows i.e. that the areas in question are not clearly separated as (for example)Coppull is from Standish or Abram is from Wigan. The point I'm am obviously (badly) trying to make is that the Orrell/Pemberton/Wigan/Ince areas are 'interconnected' i.e. they are not totally separated from each other and their boundaries are differentiated only by a road sign or other such indication. This is different from driving through green belt on either side of a country road to get to each separate area (i.e. leaving one urban area, driving through countryside, then driving into a completely new urban area). The areas, whilst together with all parts of the 'conurbation' of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, are different from the other areas of the borough in that they are all directly interconnected. None of the above is an attempt to make Wigan any 'bigger'. Wigan is a distinct town within the integrated conurbation of Orrell/Pemberton/Wigan/Ince, which itself is a a part of the wider non-integrated conurbation of the Met Borough of Wigan. Do you understand where I'm coming from?
Greater London mapThe new Greater London map you've done is a big improvement on the old one, but it shows a lot of roads that aren't motorways as motorways (see Image_talk:Greater_london_outline_map_bw.png). It'd be great if you could correct it. If you need a reference, Google Maps has them correctly. --82.45.163.4 19:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC) Moderator

User 80.193.169.137Hi Jhamez, I'm concerned about the above user. He/She has amended a number of articles inserting the phrase 'JemmyH' and/or made personal attacks on him. I think we need to look at getting the user blocked. Thanks. Man2 15:32, 4 March 2007 (UTC)Man2
