Carlisle Castle keep
Hi Richard Nevell. Thanks for this edit to Carlisle Castle, adding the suggestion that the keep used to be taller. Do you have a source for this? I couldn't find it mentioned in source 3 or the McCarthy one in the additional reading, but haven't looked any further. --Northernhenge (talk) 15:36, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's from a lecture given by Stephen Brindle, an English Heritage Senior Properties Historian. There isn't a recording of it, so I may be bending WP:V a little here. Brindle's analysis is informed by McCarthy, but I think the conclusion that the keep was taller may be Brindle's. Richard Nevell (talk) 17:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Muslim migrations to Ottoman Palestine
Hello Richard Nevell,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Muslim migrations to Ottoman Palestine for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want Muslim migrations to Ottoman Palestine to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Detached church towers
Morning Richard, and I hope the New Year finds you well. In the course of doing this little Start, St Mary's Church, Pembridge, I came across an interesting article published in Vernacular Architecture, for which I hope I've cited the doi correctly! What's particularly fascinating is that the authors challenge the traditional explanation for detached church towers as defensive in purpose - a view I've always held. They suggest that a more likely explanation might be structural, in that a tower, being taller, would settle further into the ground than the body of a church, and if attached might cause the church to fall down! [I've summarised the argument rather poorly]. I was wondering if you are aware of any more literature on this? I'd like to do a bit more reading up on it if possible. All the very best. KJP1 (talk) 10:15, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hmm, so the short answer is 'not directly' but I can think of two ways of approaching it. I don't recall coming across that particular explanation (though it is certainly interesting) but it brings to mind Michael Shapland's work. His 2019 book, Anglo-Saxon Towers of Lordship addresses free-standing towers. But the main focus is a couple of centuries earlier than St Mary's Church. As an intro, there's a recording of a talk he gave to the Society of Antiquaries.
- That's the Anglo-Saxon direction, the other is from the direction of castle studies. Will Wyeth's paper on motte towers is well worth a read and mentions St Mary's Pembridge as a comparison. It's a while since I read it closely (more years that I realised until just now), so I can't speak to the detail. Richard Nevell (talk) 10:53, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Richard - many thanks, for the above and for the material. Very much appreciated. I shall read it with interest. Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 14:37, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Castellology terms
Hi Richard. I see castles is one of your domains of expertise. My memory doesn't help here: have I asked in the past for your opinion on the matter of castellology articles created by Bermicourt? He has translated dozens of them from German. My problem is with the terminology: German has a very peculiar approach to naming things by using specially created combined words and thus producing very precise and narrow terms for everything and anything, which makes German an extremely precise, rich, but also demanding language to use. English is fundamentally different. Nothing new there. Our friend though has "forced" German terms & concepts into English, and although I've done my fair share of reading about castles in both languages (and never came across any of his typical German-terms-turned-English), I don't know if English-language academic castellology allows for that. There is also the fact that the German typology is partly different from the British one, which means either that German terms are adopted, in German, for typically German types of castles, or that those terms are maybe sometimes literally translated into English. But what about the common types and features?
I don't have my notes handy, so I just looked a bit through his edit list and found a good example at Hill castle. All terms are based on German terminology. Maybe that's genius and enriching English castellology with knowledge from a far more sophisticated, Central European twin school, but is it? How was English castellology managing before him? Maybe there are established English terms already and using the literally translated German ones is an unneeded artifice? I'll stay forever curious about it.
Thank you. Arminden (talk) 10:42, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- Somewhere I've got a book from the 1980s which translated key castle terms between English, French, and German. I got it recently to see if it had one particular term (slighting [sadly it didn't]). I'll have to dig it out and see how it handles things.
- The same castle typology hasn't really developed in English. Categorisations are based on castle form (concentric, ringwork, motte-and-bailey) rather than location and feature. There are some publications that will use similar terms (like Swallow, Rachel (2018). "Hilltop castles in a medieval landscape: Beeston and Buckton, Cheshire, England". Château Gaillard 28: L'environnement du château. Actes du colloque international de Roscommon (Irlande, 14-18 août 2016). 28: 271–282.) but I'm not sure how much it is rooted in the typology used in German or if it is simply a descriptor. I can't think of any publications in English that look at the various categories of lowland castle for example. There are some very esoteric approaches. D. J. Cathcart King developed categorisations of mottes based on their height and ringworks based on the form of their banks, but they don't seem to have been widely adopted by other researchers.
- There is something very appealing to me about that level of structure and categorisation. Are the categories meaningful for analysis and discussion? I've not engaged with enough to be sure, but I do like the prospect of Wikipedia's potential for creating a shared vocabulary; the 1980s book was one such attempt in the field.

You are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. It's currently planned for June 16-July 13, partly due to me having hayfever during that period and not wanting to run it throughout July or August in the hotter summer and will be run then unless multiple editors object. There is currently $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. As 250 countries and entities is too much to patrol, entries will be by user, but there is $500 going into prizes for editors covering the most countries. Sign up if interested! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:24, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Ayman Hassouna
On 7 June 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ayman Hassouna, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ayman Hassouna led a student expedition to investigate archaeological sites in Gaza? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ayman Hassouna. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ayman Hassouna), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
