TUSC token b8efa16159d81ca77271fa1b1376168a

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!

thanks for the heraldry

I noticed with pleasure that you had made far better renditions of the arms and banners of the various welsh princes and principalities than I managed! They look superb. I had been trying to recolour Llywelyn's arms to make them into Dafydd's but it was slow going and I gave up! One thing I have noticed; the arms you have for Deheubarth are incorrect; they should be Gules a Lion rampant Or, a border engrailed of the last meaning the background is red (gules) rather than black (sable) as you have rendered them. Also, on the map of Wales during the reign of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd you have labelled the southern kingdom as "Debeubarth" when it should be "Deheubarth".

I have the heraldic description of the last known surviving Welsh royal line (unbroken patrilineal descent until at least 1901) which was published in a victorian book by John Burke (creater of Burke's Peerage)... would you be interested in seeing if you can re-work these arms to put them in colour?

Let me know

Hello AlexD~commonswiki!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. BotMultichillT (talk) 05:37, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! An user left a note at German Map Lab that it has to be “Deheubarth“ instead of “Deheubath“. Could you please correct it? Thanks, --NNW (talk) 17:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Another user has corrected it. --NNW (talk) 21:24, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Badge_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_Kingdom.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Badge_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_Kingdom.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

I think the snakes are actually supposed to be interlaced, as seen in http://www.liv.ac.uk/~spmr02/rings/snakes.jpg (see also File:Three-Crescents-Diane-Poitiers.png), while the current image shows them non-interlaced (i.e. one clearly on bottom, one in the middle, one on top). AnonMoos (talk) 00:36, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi AnonMoos, well spotted. The snakes are suppose to be interlaced but I had a bit of a problem getting them to look tied so did a rough version instead. At the moment I'm taking a bit of a break from wiki so if you want to please feel free to alter it. 81.102.94.23 00:47, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading the revised version; I looked over the SVG file, but felt like I would have to edit the snakes' bodies before even being able to start on the interlacing... AnonMoos (talk) 14:12, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Wales - England border

As you created [[File:Map of Wales.svg]], you may be interested in the discussion taking place here, regarding whether we need a new map to show the Wales-England border in some more detail. Regards, Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:12, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Custom coat of arms

Alex, Do you do custom coat of arms? I love your work and need one very similar to what you have posted. rea@drwilliams.org

Durham Colleges in Newcastle

Alex, following research into the various Durham College shields, I have found that there are errors on the coats on the union building in Newcastle: the towers should be Argent, not Or, as are the three towers of Newcastle city itself.

See the following for Armstrong College: http://www.archive.org/stream/bookofpublicarms00foxd/bookofpublicarms00foxd_djvu.txt

And you may want to take my word for the college of medicine, as it is in an old article in the Durham University Journal (C. H. Hunter Blair, DUJ Vol. XLVI, No. 2, Pg. 45, March 1954).

I can also provide details of Bede, Hild, King's, Neville's Cross, Codrington, and Fourah Bay Colleges, if you are interested.

Your contact details?

Hello AlexD,

I have been searching for your email address for sometime and cannot seem to find it? A colleague and I are in the process of writing a book and was looking to chat with you regarding some possible help.

It would be great to hear from you.

Best regards, Dean

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called AlexD. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AlexD~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

File:Coat of arms of the Church in Wales.svg

Someone tried to upload an improved version probably because in your version the central emblem is squished, and there is a stupid pseudo-reflective gradient of the kind required for heraldic images on French Wikipedia, but which is not needed or wanted in most other contexts... AnonMoos (talk) 12:41, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

You may not like it or think it is need but that is called subjectivity... as i said feel free to upload as a separate file rather than saving over other's work... not everyone shares your aesthetic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexD~commonswiki (talk • contribs) 00:06, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
