A page you started (St James Church, Southwick) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating St James Church, Southwick, SkymasterUK!

Wikipedia editor Blythwood just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Looks great. I've just done a bit of cleanup. I've added a more specific category (Grade I listed churches in Hampshire). There's already a commons category for the church, so I've linked back to this article. So it's not an orphan, I've linked to it from the Grade I listed buildings in Hampshire page. Southwick is a disambiguation page, so I've corrected the links to Southwick, Hampshire, then gone to that article and backlinked to the church article as well, so people can find it.

To reply, leave a comment on Blythwood's talk page.

Hi, hope you're well. Just been reading through articles on listed buildings in the UK and I was wondering about the title of this one you did in 2016. The citation is to a listing for "Church of St Peter & St Paul". I don't know the area but I've checked on Google Street View and the church at Sutton has that name on Google Street View. And the Wikimedia Commons category the photo is from is of the Church of St Peter & St Paul too. The official website linked is to a different church near Maidstone. There's also a St Peter's and St Paul's Church, East Sutton (also near Maidstone) which could cause confusion, but I was wondering if this is really the right name for the building?

@Blythwood: Hi again Blythwood, Thanks for the message. You are correct and that the title of that page should be St Peter and St Paul's church. I have no idea how to change a title on a page, or even whether it can be done. Does this page need to be deleted (if so how?) and a new page set up. I've removed the link to the external website as this is a completely different church. This was all part of a project I was doing on Historic Churches, using my own website to link to and wikipedia, wikimedia and wikidata and for each of them to link to each other. However I get very disillusioned very early on when so much of my stuff got removed without warning or explanation. I would spend a whole evening working on parts of Wikipedia only to go back to it the next day and realised that someone else had pressed the undo button on wikipedia, or delete photo button on Wikimeda and I was back to square one. So I thank you for being one of the few polite people on here that takes to the time to talk to novices like me. SkymasterUK (talk) 07:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
SkymasterUK, thanks for the reply. It's annoying I didn't notice myself at the time. I linked it to the commons category of the photo but I must not have noticed and just thought it was an alternative name or something. I've moved the article to St Peter's and St Paul's Church, Sutton By Dover, taking my cue from the nameboard on Google Street View. You select it from "More" at top right of page, next to the search bar. And cleaned up a few formatting glitches. Blythwood (talk) 09:17, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
