I have restored your date-format edits - as the problem with the graphics seemed to have been corrected. I just thought that for the moment (while the graphics problem persisted) the largely invisible effects of this edit could well wait. Whatever - everything seems back to normal now. -Soundofmusicals (talk) 11:21, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Advice please
I am asking this here as few people seem to pass by the Lincs Project Talk nowadays, and others reading your Talk might be able to help too.
I am proposing and article on Holbeach Marsh, a 'place' within, and associated to, a circle of villages, but an area in its own right. It is a large marsh 'settlement' with scattered buildings but no defined centre, so difficult call a village. It came about in first half of the 19th-century through land enclosure but has been successively depopulated (but not deserted) in the last 100 years. However it appears in directories with many farmers and some trades and was previously an ecclesiastical parish, had a Methodist chapel, and sent MPs to parliament. Today as an area its name is also associated with an RAF bombing range to its east at the Wash. My question is: how do I define such a place for the lede and article. Thanks. Acabashi (talk) 13:08, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, may initial thought would be something like
- Holbeach Marsh is an area of Lincolnshire that encompasses several dispersed buildings.
- Then go on to give some details of where it is located and its size. The rest of the details you mention could go in the History section giving details of its former status and the depopulation.
- Hope this helps. Keith D (talk) 22:17, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- It does - I'll call it an 'area' rather than village/hamlet/settlement but presumably still using the 'Infobox UK place' - many thanks again. Acabashi (talk) 22:56, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Commons cat
FYI: With {{Commons category}}, there's generally no need to add a category target when the Commons category is named the same as article title, as was done with Nevada State Route 895. -- LJ ↗ 05:50, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- Not strictly necessary but better to have in case of page moves when it gets overlooked. The page then ends up in Category:Commons category with page title different than on Wikidata, that I am trying to clear, which is why I hit that article. In that case the problem was with wikidata, but adding the target prevents future problems. Keith D (talk) 10:53, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
