I refer to A148 road and A149 road: I notice you tagged one or both of the articles with the {{essay-like}} template; however the user in question has persisted in removing them when I have attempted to restore them to the article. I believe they are correctly used, as I do not think information in such elaborate prose form is conducive to an effective encyclopedia entry. He is very much risking a wp:3rr if he continues (and probably has violated it by now, anyway). Are you able assist/advise? I have written to him on his talk page, but he has merely deleted my comment and not provided a response. I can understand his frustration, but his behaviour is not in the spirit of the whole Wikipedia project. I personally believe he is being possessive of these articles (being from Norfolk) and immature with his "don't agree with your opinion so I'll ignore it" attitude. This is really beginning to wind me up, to be honest, but I'm trying to be calm and approaching this from a pragmatic view. I've flown off the handle in the past, and have got burnt, so I don't want to do anything silly now. But I can't see a way through: he will clearly not listen, but I'm pretty certain his views are not in keeping with the overall wikipedia ethos, so therefore something needs to happen.  — MapsMan [ talk | cont ] — 16:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The Cheshire WikiProject Newsletter

The WikiProject Cheshire Newsletter Issue I - January & February 2009 Got any suggestions? — Add them here Welcome to the first edition of the Cheshire WikiProject Newsletter! Editing news The first featured content to have been developed by project members is Listed buildings in Runcorn, Cheshire, promoted to Featured List in January, thanks largely to the hard work of Peter I. Vardy. Six articles have been promoted to Good Article status since the beginning of July. Congratulations to everyone who worked on them! Bridgewater Canal Lindow Man Lyme Park Norton Priory St Mary's Church, Nether Alderley St Mary's Church, Nantwich There are no articles currently at Featured or GA review. Seven articles have featured on the Did You Know? section of the main page since the beginning of July: Norton Priory, Port of Runcorn, Bridgewater House, Runcorn, Tatton Hall, Sutton Tunnel railway accident, John Romney & National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port 1156 articles are tagged for the project, of which 26 require assessment. Project members are currently working in the following areas: Peter I. Vardy: Arley Hall Espresso Addict: Crewe Hall DDStretch: Former administrative divisions of Cheshire (in sandbox for now) Add your current projects here... Input needed New articles & pictures have been suggested for featuring on the portal, and comments are needed here. New suggestions are always welcome. Suggestions of news items for the portal are needed here. Suggestions for the next Cheshire Project Collaboration are welcome at the project talk page. If something you're currently working on would benefit from help from other project members, list it here... Single-Page View Project news The project currently has 35 members. A warm welcome to our newest members: ARBAY, Coldmachine and Floorhugger. Preparation for the local government changes in April is ongoing. You are invited to join the WP:2009ENGLAND taskforce to coordinate the necessary changes to articles, categories, maps, infoboxes etc across articles on England. Within Cheshire, the articles for the new unitary authorities Cheshire East and Cheshire West and Chester have already been created and need expansion. The Cheshire Portal has been converted to use random selections. There are currently 8 selected articles, 8 selected biographies, 8 selected pictures, 13 sets of four DYKs (52 in total) & 6 quotations. The topics box has also been reformatted & expanded, to highlight more Cheshire content. Espresso Addict has proposed aiming to bring the portal up to Featured Portal status in 2009. Current standards for featured portals suggest having 15–20 items in each section. The main content that needs to be developed is biographies, preferably of GA class or above and with a reasonable quality free image. Lots of well-known people have associations with Cheshire, including the Victorian novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, Nelson's mistress Emma Hamilton & mountaineer George Mallory; a list of suggested biographies for project members to develop is here. The Cheshire Project Collaboration for the next few months is Crewe. In this time, we aim to expand it beyond its current start-class, perhaps taking it to WP:GAC. This is the first edition of the Cheshire newsletter, which aims to inform members about what is happening across the project and to facilitate cooperation between people to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Cheshire. To help with this, a questionnaire is attached about how you see the Cheshire WikiProject developing over 2009. Finally, if you want to edit the next edition of this newsletter, please volunteer! ---Espresso Addict

In an effort to assess the progress of Wikiproject Cheshire, it has been decided to send a questionnaire to members. To answer, please copy this questionnaire and paste your answers on the answer page. While participation is, of course, not compulsory, thoughtful answers will help the project to develop and improve. Thank you.

Answer:

6. Maintaining the Cheshire portal is one of the Cheshire WikiProject's main aims, providing a display of the best and most up to date articles that are part of the project.
