Canon Davies



Absolutely delighted that Canon Davies ↗ has an article. I had no idea. I shall see what I can add. On titling, there is neither Ebenezer Davies nor Ebenezer Thomas Davies, so perhaps a simpler title? Or maybe E. T. Davies is how he was best known? He conducted my sister’s wedding, and was a deeply kind and thoughtful man. And he contributed a great deal to the history of my adopted county. KJP1 (talk) 22:01, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Stelvio House, Newport



How odd that our paths should cross for a second time. I am thinking of re-naming Stelvio House, Newport ↗ to Stelvio House, 15 and 17 Stow Park Circle ↗ to enable better coverage of/linkage to the Registered historic Park and Garden. The page's originator hasn't edited for seven years, and you're the next most-prolific contributor. Any objections/thoughts? KJP1 (talk) 07:35, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

:It might help you to understand my reply when I disclose that I used the article multiple times like a microbiologist uses a Petrie dish to undertake an experiment - to more quickly learn how to insert links into an article than by accessing Wikipedia Help, which I didn't find easy to understand. That said, I perceive 'Stelvio House, 15 and 17 Stow Park Circle' as compromising the conciseness and intelligibility of 'Stelvio House, Newport'. However, if re-naming the article like this is the only way to enable better coverage/linkage to the Registered historic Park and Garden then so be it. Regardless, there would not appear to be any moral principle at stake here. Consequently, I would not regard re-naming the article as objectionable. I hope this reply is useful.

:Hi Bobby,
:Thank you very much for your courtesy. I did find myself wondering about whether the location from which I submitted my contribution was the correct one. So now I know. Thank you.

If so, I should be extremely grateful for any suggestions that occur to you. Thank you again.John Desmond (talk) 14:43, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
