Hello Mr Haworth, I am the author of ]. Great to hear you grew in Kendal (I was born and bred there myself and still live there) I hope that I have done all you instructed me to in order to get the entry published; I've added info to images, tagged myself as the author and made loads of links in the text. I would be grateful if could you check it for me. Best wishes Jamie Barnes ] 12:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you changed UK to GB on the commons template {{tl|Oscoor}}. I don't mind, but it makes me curious what the definition is here. I tried to read up on ]. Does your edit refer to the Ordnance Survey or to the grid? Surely the O.S. is a national agency for all UK and not only for GB? Is the grid served by the Oscoor (and Gbmapping) templates only applicable to one island (GB) and not to Ulster or the Channel islands? {{unsigned|LA2}}
: The edit refers to both the Ordnance Survey and the grid. Please read ] and ]. There is one grid for Great Britain and another for the island of Ireland. It has been on my todo list for over a year to change the resource which oscoor calls to accept Irish grid refs as well but I am still waiting for the round tuit. As you can see from the maps, the Isle of Man lies within the GB grid; the Channel Islands lie outside both. Have a look at which is collecting photos using both grids. -- ] 20:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::]I am pleased to present you with this Round Tuit. I saw you were lacking one, and feel it is only fair to provide you with one. I would love Ireland to be incorporated too. :) ] 10:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Would you update http://www.rhaworth.myby.co.uk/oscoor_a.htm to point to the current (temporary) page at the toolserver (it's defined in ]). Thanks. -- User:Docu
* Done. But oh dear, we have lost support for region:GB and thus have lost links to the really useful stuff such as old-maps and geograph. Come back egil - all is forgiven. -- ] 08:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
**Thanks. I fixed most links to the new page and asked Egil to try to restore at least the contents of the pages. Besides there is a thread on ]. -- User:Docu

Hi, you changed UK to GB on the commons template {{Oscoor}}. I don't mind, but it makes me curious what the definition is here. I tried to read up on British Isles (terminology). Does your edit refer to the Ordnance Survey or to the grid? Surely the O.S. is a national agency for all UK and not only for GB? Is the grid served by the Oscoor (and Gbmapping) templates only applicable to one island (GB) and not to Ulster or the Channel islands? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LA2 (talk • contribs)
The edit refers to both the Ordnance Survey and the grid. Please read British national grid reference system and Irish national grid reference system. There is one grid for Great Britain and another for the island of Ireland. It has been on my todo list for over a year to change the resource which oscoor calls to accept Irish grid refs as well but I am still waiting for the round tuit. As you can see from the maps, the Isle of Man lies within the GB grid; the Channel Islands lie outside both. Have a look at (vanity link! to) geograph which is collecting photos using both grids. -- RHaworth20:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
