Comb-structured

22-April-2007: Since Ada was designed so many decades ago (circa 1979), I assumed that "comb-structured" would be described under "structured programming" for the article ("Ada (programming language)‎"). However, I will add the term "comb-structured" as having multiple structure keywords define separate sections within a block, analogous to the multiple teeth or prongs in a comb separating sections of the comb. For example, the if-statement in Ada is a 4-pronged comb with keywords IF, THEN, ELSE, END IF. -Wikid77 08:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

The {{hangon}} template is used only to contest speedy deletions. That page isn't going to be deleted anytime soon. Cheers! east.718 at 19:37, December 16, 2007

Thanks for this correction. Sorry about the mixup. ;-) TimR (talk) 10:42, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Malvern and Motorways

I have reverted your deletion. In accordance with Wiki policy, please invite discussion before making unilateral deletions of major sections that do not conflict with Wiki rules, and without fully understanding the reasons for their inclusion. Please see the article's talk page for reasoning. Kudpung (talk) 04:03, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Malvern, Worcestershire, Great Malvern

Gyromagician has done an excellent job of editing down my section on Transport. I have cut the bulk of the Malvern Water section and created a new, dedicated, more informative page on it. I have suggested to talk Giro, that it might be an idea to create a Worcestershire project to get some interest in tidying up all related articles, and getting maps and images. Maybe you would like to help with some of all this. --Kudpung (talk) 04:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

We got sufficient support already to make the formal project proposal which is now here: WikiProject Worcestershire
While I was posting the invite template on many article and editor talk pages, I was amazed at the mess some of those other articles are (e.g. Redditch, Evesham, Bromsgrove, Kidderminster, etc.). We can be proud of what we have achieved already for the Malvern pages. Please continue to check the article-specific talk pages until the project has been approved. Thank you for your support. --Kudpung (talk) 23:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Malvern Water

I recently split off the Malvern Water from Malvern and created its own expanded article, leaving a shorter mention in Malvern. It's been tagged for POV and weasel words by an editor who appears to have read only the first sentence. He did not leave the required explanation for his action. As I'm generally extremely careful what I write, I can't see what he is complaining about. I wonder if I could impose on you to review the article, make any suggestions you think fit, and/or come out in support of it on its talk page. It certainly doesn't lack any notability, and it's well referenced. Many thanks. --Kudpung (talk) 02:51, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

At my request the editor has now left a comment. please take a look ifyou have time. Thanks.--Kudpung (talk) 04:43, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

There has bee an escalation of the drive-past tagging. You may wish to check out the developments on the talk:Malvern Water discussion. --Kudpung (talk) 19:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Worcestershire

Hi lccalwell. We now have a draft project page for the official Worcestershire project. Please review it and feel free to make any changes you like without further ado.--Kudpung (talk) 19:07, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Malvern

Thanks for keeping an eye open. Joytex seems to have a history of inappropriate contribs since joining WP. --Kudpung (talk) 11:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Malvern

HiIccaldwell! I've done all I can to the Malvern, Worcestershire article. I think there's a fair chance that it could soon be nominated for GA. If you have time, please see Talk:Malvern, Worcestershire#Summary of recent edits, check out the article if you can, and leave any comments and suggestions there. If you see any obvious blunders, do go ahead and fix them. Thanks.--Kudpung (talk) 10:47, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Henwick

Henwick is the first village after the Worcester sunburb of St Johns on the railway line going west from Worcester to Malvern. It had a very small railway station. In fact when I was a very young boy, the trains still stopped there, including Bransford Halt, and then Newland Halt, before arriving at Malvern Link.--Kudpung (talk) 10:07, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Pershore College

Hi Iccaldwell! An article you have created, contributed to, or edited has been proposed for merging. Please see the discussion at Talk:Pershore College#Merge proposal, and leave your comments there. Thanks.--Kudpung (talk) 10:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Iccaldwell! It is suggested that a pre PROD, pre AfD, or pre Speedy discussion should take place before opening a deletion process for Evesham Technology. Please visit the article if you can, and leave your comments and suggestions at Talk:Evesham Technology--Kudpung (talk) 09:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

worcestershire project meeting

Worcestershire Project get-together
I'm in the UK on a rare trip to my home town in Worcestershire. If all or anyone from the project would like to meet up, please let me know. I'll be returning to Asia on 3 October.--Kudpung (talk) 09:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Malvern

Hi, this is just to let you know that I have nominated Malvern, Worcestershire for reviewing for GA, and thanks for your recent vigilance against vandalism. --Kudpung (talk) 17:37, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Iccaldwell! We now have a first review for GA. On the whole it doesn't look too bad. As you know, I am a local resident in absentia, and as a published author, a 'prose artist', but anything you can do to improve the language or address some of the more technical points as quickly as possible would be much appreciated. Any work on the new referencing system does not affect the overall quality and scope of the article for GA but you may be able to put put some of the wrong referencing things right and offer some suggestions on the other points made by the reviewer. It would be great for the Worcs project to have a GA of this envergure in its repertoire. See Talk:Malvern, Worcestershire#GA Review - and Happy New Year!--Kudpung (talk) 05:41, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, we've all had a go at the recommended improvements for GA. Would someone care to have a final proof read please? See comments on Talk:Malvern, Worcestershire/GA1--Kudpung (talk) 14:18, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Worcestershierre, Warwickshierre, Yorkshierre, and Everyshierre.

Hello Iccaldwell! A non-British user seems to be attempting to suggest that the Brits are not pronouncing their own British place names correctly, and appears to believe that it is a policy of Wikipedia to instruct the Brits, through the use of the IPA, how British English should be pronounced. He/she also seems to be of the opinion that it is Wikipedia policy to regard British English by default as a rhotic language, which it is not. Some British Wikipedians are trying to avoid an edit conflict and have requested my support. I have added my comments to the debate the non-British user has has started in defence of his/her multiple, unilateral (bold?) changes to IPA pronunciations of British place names. As a professional linguist I accord every version of English its own particular merits and my position here strictly concerns the way in which the IPA is interpreted and applied in the Wikipedia, and how the current policy may need to be changed through a truly representative consensus. If you would like to help resolve this issue, please see User talk:Kudpung#IPA, RP, etc. and User talk:Lfh#Warwickshire to get the background. Maybe you could then chime in with your views on the subject at Wikipedia talk:IPA for English#Rhoticity in place names. Thanks. --Kudpung (talk) 17:43, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Newsletter WikiProject Worcestershire

Worcestershire - one of England's oldest and still existing (with some minor boundary changes) ceremonial and political shires, famous for its nearly 1000 year old cathedral, the River Severn, the AONB of the Malvern Hills, some of the oldest schools in the country, England's fastest growing university, apples, pears, cider and cricket, and of course its world famous sauce. The Wikiproject is now in need of some attention. Created 12 years ago, this project amassed a huge resource for editors working on all kinds of articles and categories related in some way or another to the county. Kudpung is more or less retired from Wikipedia getting on for 2 years ago and it would be good if a group of editors could get it up to date and continue to maintain it.
