Update

Can you help here? Hook not quite right...and you are good at these. I'll read through article a few more times.
Any suggestions for this, otherwise I may just close on it?

You have greatly improved the article. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:07, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Any suggestions on another transplant? The references look odd and one section is very messy.
BTW...good work on that journal. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:55, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:07, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Will look. Do you have a spare review here (despite being struck as a contributor)? Philafrenzy (talk) 10:26, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

My 1st strike...it's ok...Thanks for edits... Whispyhistory (talk) 12:39, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Please stop vandalising and edit warring on Tom Newton Dunn's page

Hi there. You've been repeatedly vandalising and engaging in an edit war on Tom Newton Dunn's page. Please stop doing this. Take it to the talk page, you've seriously destroyed what took a decent amount of my time today by constantly reverting and changing titles etc. If you've got an issue, the talk page exists for a reason, but why am I seeing you revert the same thing over and over? Stop it, please. This is the reason I quit Wikipedia last time - people constantly vandalising my work and refusing to resort to the talk page in the first instance. I see you're now using it, but in future this should be port of call #1, not #20. Sorry if the tone comes across poorly to you, but this is literally so annoying. Innovative Username (talk) 01:02, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

You seem to have conflated my edits with those of the IPs. I don't edit war or vandalise. It seems to have reached a satisfactory resolution that gives the matter appropriate weight. Good luck. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:45, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

How many pages in a book?

Hi...plucking courage to ask probably a silly question. How many pages in the book? 288 [1]], 325 [2] and [3], or 360 [4]? In the actual book, depends on whether counting bibliography, introduction, acknowledgements etc. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:44, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Yale ought to know. You could buy the book. The version to use is the first publication which is usually the hardback. Later and paperback editions may vary. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:58, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

I have it in front of me. Read it. The last page number is 325. Yale say 360. It is probably 360 if include the acknowledgements and preface etc at beginning. Shall I use 360? Whispyhistory (talk) 16:01, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Use the version you have I think if it is the first. Is there unnumbered material at the end? Philafrenzy (talk) 16:04, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

P.325 is the last page of index. Nothing after. Before are around 30+ pages of plates, acknowledgements and an introduction....some numbered with Roman numerals and others not at all.Whispyhistory (talk) 16:10, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

I would go with 325 then. Yale are probably reporting the number of sides used by the printer. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:16, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Or maybe we should go with what the RS says and not do original research! Philafrenzy (talk) 16:36, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Images

Hi...can you (please) add images to the Amritsar book and this? In mean time I am looking at old articles. Whispyhistory (talk) 22:16, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Can you link some images that are definitely him? Philafrenzy (talk) 23:03, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

[5] is the famous pic of him and Nehru behind bars. the other images are not clear. Whispyhistory (talk) 23:21, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Do you know the date and photographer for that one? Philafrenzy (talk) 15:39, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

I can't find it. There is a good image in Nehru's book Letters to a sister...but I can't see it online. Will keep looking. I have the book at home. Can I take a photo of the page? Nice work on handbags. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:45, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

You can photograph it. A scan would be better. But you can only put it on Commons if you know it is out of copyright. Otherwise it will need to be fair use. Handbags are more @Edwardx:'s bag (pun intended). Philafrenzy (talk) 20:27, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

I found Pandit in a family image on commons...just added it.Whispyhistory (talk) 20:42, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you both for your work on Launer London - the DYK, the QPQ, and someone has reviewed it, all in under four hours. Most impressive. She may well be inspired to consider last minute additions to the New Year's Honours. Edwardx (talk) 11:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

They may have to reduce their prices now we have seen their factory. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Just reporting back following investigations...its all authentic. Nice sign outside. I think price is ok. Whispyhistory (talk) 13:07, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

The price is OK if hand made made by débutantes in Berkeley Square - not so sure now I known made in a factory in Walsall. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:10, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Just realised the image was taken by @Whispyhistory: today! Now that's dedication. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:32, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

All that way for one photo - some Wikipedia editors really go above and beyond. Edwardx (talk) 14:50, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

For you @Edwardx:...in the line of duty...it just so happened I was passing by. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:01, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

On your way back from delivering gifts Santa? Philafrenzy (talk) 21:54, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

All gifts delivered. A few waited for the sales. Please check image. I don't think I uploaded it correctly. The book has some amazing rare images. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:03, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

I agree. Is the photographer credited? Philafrenzy (talk) 11:18, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

No photographer name in the book. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:57, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

As you didn't take the original photograph it wasn't correct to upload it as if you had (with a CCBYSA licence) just because you took a photograph of a photograph. You need to choose an appropriate licence in those cases and use it. I fixed it. This page lists most of the applicable licences including several useful ones for India. Your upload says "MLA in the UP Assembly". I assume member of the Legislative Assembly in Uttar Pradesh but that isn't mentioned in the article? Philafrenzy (talk) 10:31, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

My favourite book [6], restaurant [7] and sushi next door. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:38, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Edward Grimwood Mears

I didn't want to let this slip from a dyk. Can you help expand it and think of a hook. Using your expertise, the political parts might be better done by you. If not interested, that's ok too. Let me know. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

I will look properly later but I see missing apostrophes, surname forename inconsistencies in the refs, work titles capitalised etc. Also Exeter College, Oxford, is not linked correctly. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:08, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks...edited some capital letters and added an apostrophe. Will look at references. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:51, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Missed the time, so will expand at later date. Thanks for your help. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:35, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Probably just as well, there are too many bits and pieces with him on the periphery somehow. It needs a solid core of something significant he did, viz X was Y who did Z. P.S. Nobody is best known for receiving a knighthood. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:15, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Sir Craig Oliver perhaps? Edwardx (talk) 18:56, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

And looking at the 2016 Prime Minister's Resignation Honours, Arabella Warbuton received a Damehood, but no Wikipedia article. She at least has a redlink now. It's the least I could do. Edwardx (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Well after what she has done for bread in this country, I agree. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:02, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Is Warbuton real? Whispyhistory (talk) 19:21, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Well, the bread is mostly hot air... Edwardx (talk) 19:37, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Less calories then? Whispyhistory (talk) 19:45, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

However you slice it, she has risen to the top. A Damehood is the yeast she deserves. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:09, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

That sounds like a hook. btw... what happened to earwig's copyvio? Whispyhistory (talk) 21:20, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Don't make a (whole)meal out of it. Earwig is toast until tomorrow. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:29, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

How are others checking copy ? Whispyhistory (talk) 21:30, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Crumbs, Earwig is back. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:33, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Didn't work for me. Can you try? Whispyhistory (talk) 21:37, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Correction, it has gone stale again. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:46, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Earwig Copyright Issues and User talk:The Earwig#Copyvio Detector not working. As a general rule, if there is a problem with a script that you didn't write, contact the person who did. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 12:18, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
