Oltrepier ( talk) 12:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
Hey Dumelow, if you get a minute would you mind casting an eye over that article, particularly the description section? The article is a work in progress but if anything jumps out at you from an engineering perspective I'd love to hear about it. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:03, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi HJ Mitchell. Although I'm not a million miles away I must admit to never having visited the structure, though I might pop over if I get a chance. I've had a go at rewriting the first paragraph of the description which I think didn't quite convey the pier structure correctly (each has 12 columns, not 10 I think?; the tapering of the columns wasn't really described; photos I've looked at show the bases are brick over stone not vice versa etc.). My version is quite a bit longer, but some can be chopped back if overly technical; could do with a check for readability also. Usual caveat that my field is highways rather than structures or railways - Dumelow ( talk) 11:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
The bridge deck consists of 16 spans each 77 feet (23 m) long and formed from three 8 feet (2.4 m) deep wrought iron Warren lattice truss girders braced together horizontally and vertically. [1] The trusses support a series of transverse iron troughs at 2 feet 4 inches (0.71 m) centres onto which ballast was placed to form the railway's track bed [2] [3] Because of the corrugated surface provided by the troughs the volume of ballast required was half that of a traditional flat-decked bridge. [1] The use of the troughs and ballast instead of wooden longitudinal waybeams beneath the rails allowed for settlement of the structure to be rectified by repacking of the ballast. [3] The bridge deck is enclosed by low wrought iron latticework parapets. [4]
The spans are supported on 15 evenly-spaced piers. [4] The ironwork of each pier is the same height - 56 feet (17 m) - and supported on bases of blue brick and stone ashlars of varying heights above a concrete foundation. [1] [5] The structure provides a constant 1:100 gradient with the Awsworth end 15 feet (4.6 m) higher than the Ilkeston end. [6] The piers are formed of 12 wrought iron tubular columns each constructed from four quadrant pieces rivetted together. [2] [5] [7] The tubes are arranged in four groups of three. The centre-most two groups consist of a central vertical column with a slightly inclined column either side of it longitudinally; in the two outermost groups the central columns are offset transversely as raking columns to provide lateral support. The tube groups are braced together horizontally and vertically at four stages. [4] [5] Each group of columns sits on a cast iron baseplate bedded onto the base with cement, no holding down bolts were used. [2] [3]
The viaduct is 1,421 feet (433 metres) (over a quarter of a mile) long, 60 feet (18 metres) above the valley floor in the centre, and 26 feet (7.9 metres) wide between the parapets. Both ends of the viaduct are supported on brick piers.[1][2]

I know that if people change things they are unlikely to change things back, so this attempt is in vain, but I do wanna give my 2 cents. You reverted a global (created earlier by 1000s of people, not by a US president in 2014) while you added back a day only relevant for a few US states. How it's standing on Wikipedia is not a reason to revert it right? Global ( here, here , here) vs a few US states.

Dumelow, I want to thank you for starting an article on the Wohnpark Alterlaa complex after my previous attempt to do the same in 2019 had failed, being sent to the Draftspace and then just deleted a short while later. Since then, I had been afraid of trying to create the article again for a repeat of this incident. I had been planning to insert some translated sections from its German-language counterpart article later to avoid the deletion, but never had time to do so after my attempt was moved to Draftspace.

Hi Dumelow, regarding the rotation for Selected anniversaries/May 26: could we reinstate Jimmie Rodgers? I made the change in March of this year to include him and his picture on occasion of the 90th anniversary of his death on May 26, 2023. I don't dispute for a second the inclusion of Edmund I's assassination, but I do see fit in this case to feature Rodgers being that it is a relevant anniversary for a relevant figure in music history. Thanks for your time.-- GDuwen Holler! 18:10, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for consistently checking the quality of the special anniversaries! - For the first time, you can listen to a concert with me in the (four) choirs on YouTube, - on my talk, look for "listen" if interested. - Today's story is taken from a 2011 DYK, talking about brotherhood (which includes sisters), - the piece in question, beginning with a psalm quotation, was first performed 300 years ago OTD - as discussed. Perhaps it will be FA some day. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:04, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
Jörg Widmann is 50 today, and I began Stockholm pics. - I added a Bach piece to 2 July, - one of the few for 5 parts. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:07, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

On today's Main page, you can find a cantata that Bach first performed 300 years ago (thanks to you!), and an iconic saxophonist from East Germany. Also: a bit about the history of QAI on my talk. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 18:50, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
ps: I doubt that "directed" was the best way to describe what Bach did when performing: most likely directing while playing first violin. But I'm no expert of English. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:00, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
