Aleksis Dreimanis

Hi Nedrutland,

I noticed you addition to the Dreimanis article. I'm going to remove it for now. Please feel free to add it back if you have a reference to confirm.

We have to be diligent about sourcing all our references, especially for living people. Clerks. 17:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Seaton Viaduct

I think you're getting confused between Seaton viaduct and Welland/Harringworth viaduct. Seaton viaduct is the separate structure to the north of Seaton that carries the existing line over the dismantled line to Uppingham (see this map). This is confirmed by the Quail Railway Track Diagrams, Volume 4: Midlands & North West (ISBN 0-9549866-0-1). It may be that local residents refer to the Welland viaduct as Seaton - if you can provide citeably evidence of this it may be worth adding. I have some other statistics about the Welland viaduct, which I'll add tonight. – Tivedshambo (talk) 06:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Isle of Wight

I think we (Wikipedia) had the claim about Rutland prior to the QI episode was broadcast, but I don't deny that it might have been added by a QI elf during their research. Still it strikes me as not being an unreasonable claim - what with a coastline of c. 92 km, it would only take approximately 50m on average between high and low tide to make the Island larger than Rutland.

Anyway - just though the fact that we got there first might be of interest to you. :: smile :: --Neo (talk) 12:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I find the factoid extremely dubious. Calculation of area would normally be based only upon dry land i.e. the high tide figure.

As for your comment about got there first well you only had a sheriff and lord lieutenant in 1974 you Johnny-come-latelies!  :: smile ::

I'm sorry, but the first part (genus) of scientific names of species is always capitalized. Like Daphne blagayana instead of daphne blagayana.

Billy Barker was Cornish

Just noticed your edit at Barkerville, British Columbia from a while back; he may have been from Cambridgeshire but all BC histories describe him as Cornish; ethnically Cornish only, but enough of a Cornishman that all his contemporaries described him that way.

Walter Padley

Hello, Nedrutland

I notice that you have categorised Walter Padley as a British conscientious objector, but you have added no detail of such objection to the body of the article. Have you any detail, source etc?

Mountdrayton (talk) 01:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Not the firmest evidence; at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jt.williams/lh/events.htm I had found this about the Ealing Acton by-election "Walter Padley was an industrial organizer with a large amount of support from the shop stewards at Napiers, an engineering firm located in Acton Vale. During the war he had been a conscientious objector believing the war to be imperialist in its aims. However he had also been rejected by a medical board for military service on the grounds that he suffered from asthma." Ned de Rotelande 06:00, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Rutland Scouting

Hi,

You seem to know something about this. I have seen one site that suggests the Rutland is now a District in Lincolnshire. Is that right or is it still a separate County? Whatever the answer is, is there a source we can use on wikipedia? --Bduke (talk) 12:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

• separate county (again) - the main entry for Rutland is correctMajor-General Clanger (talk) 14:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but what main article? Scouting in East Midlands#Lincolnshire Scout County has Rutland as a District in Lincolnshire. That is the article where it should be discussed. The real point is that whatever Rutland is, we need a source. Original research is not allowed. --Bduke (Discussion) 21:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Sir Robert Pattinson

Thanks for the correction re: Kesteven County Council. I thought I had the correct reference in an earlier version which I cut and pasted into the article when I was editing it but obviously not. Mind you with editing pieces about Robert and Samuel Pattinson and Winfrey etc. I am not surprised I got a bit mixed up. Grateful for your oversight.

Re Biggles

Dear Nedrutland,

regarding your undo of my amendment to Biggles page regarding flight training. Seething is not a fictional place. It is in fact a Norfolk village and aerodrome South East of Norwich. The aerodrome was base for Liberator Bombers of the USAF 448th Bomber Group of US 2nd Air Division, a museum still exists in their memory, see www.seething-airfield.com/history.php.

My alteration to Seething linked to the village page on Wikipedia, the previous link to 'Settling' linked to a chemical reaction(??)

Regards,

Nick Sims —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.137.152.21 (talk) 10:32, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Nick,

When I undid your revision my note was "Fictional place I believe (- unless you can cite))" by which I meant Settling (like Frensham, Lincs) was a fictional base. I accept Seething is not fictional but I understand the Biggles books (which I do not have) refer to a training school at Settling. If you can cite a source that he trained at Seething, please supply a reference. As far as I can see, Seething airbase only opened in WW2.

I agree that Settling should not be wikilinked.

Ned de Rotelande 11:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I have now found the reference: "It was an aerodrome, or, to be more precise, the aerodrome of No. 17 Flying Training School, which was situated near the village of Settling, in Norfolk."

Hi. I did quite a bit of editing on the Lady Frieda Harris page, seemed to be full of editorializing and need for clarity.

Mayor of Uppingham

I have posted the following on the Uppingham discussion page:

"There has been a revert conflict between several numerical IP addresses and me about the name of the mayor. The IPs maintain that Margaret Simpson is mayor and initially linked to a Ghanaian heptathlete of that name. Lately the IPs (one of which has been blocked) have offered a supposed supporting reference but the cited source http://www.uppinghamonline.co.uk/ does not support their claim.

There is a Margaret Simpson in Uppingham, a retired primary head whose husband is a town councillor[4] and former mayor, but she is not the mayor nor a town councillor.

The current members of Uppingham Town Council are shown on the town council’s website; http://www.uppinghamtowncouncil.co.uk/page3.html and http://www.rutnet.co.uk/pp/parish/detail.asp?id=12&page=5 which show that the mayor is Karen Senogles and this is confirmed by news reports, for example http://www.rutland-times.co.uk/news/Housing-development-officially-opened.5258382.jp from this year."

Philip Hamond

Thanks for this superb new stub. But please explain: what had the Rector of Stiffkey done to make Hamond so angry? The Straits Times article cited seems to be too politely restrained to go into detail on this. Thanks, Gurt Posh (talk) 10:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

One suggestion is "Davidson's fall from grace began when he tactlessly demanded that an influential parishioner, Major Philip Hamond, must buy the land around the grave of his first wife if he wanted to tend it." "Defrocked rector was 'unfairly vilified'" Guardian, 18 September 2004 (His first wife had died 1926)

In 1930, Davidson missed the Remembrance Day service. Hamond, who had disliked Davidson since he refused to allow him to be churchwarden in 1919 and had had several further altercations with him since, was 'incandescent with rage' and accused Davidson of insulting the war dead.

One could imagine that a ex-army officer would not take to a theatrical, flamboyant leftie! Ned de Rotelande 11:06, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Now clarified by adding the page numbers. It reads; "The undermentioned to be Second Lieutenants (on probation). Dated the 9th December, 1915:— .... Stanley Augustus Holloway, Connaught Rangers."

As to the need:

• Primary source preferred to secondary,
• more precise, and
• I suspect contradicts the previous text; "immediately" when apparently 12+ months later

Burghley House

Hi Ned, I'm interested in why you revert edits that place it in Lincolnshire when the website of the house itself states that it's in Lincolshire. Do you have a WP:RS that places it in Cambs? Regards, Ericoides (talk) 10:46, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

You misinterpret the House's website. The website pages gives a postal address as Stamford, Lincolnshire i.e. the post town is in Lincolnshire but the house itself is not.

The house is in the area traditionally known as the Soke of Peterborough which has been shunted around different admin arrangements over the years (but never with Lincs). Currently it is the unitary authority of Peterborough which remains for ceremonial purposes in Cambridgeshire. Nedrutland (talk)

Thanks, very interesting. Was it ever in Northants? Ericoides (talk) 11:34, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm LatinWolf (talk). I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions to Norval Marley because it didn't appear constructive. Multiple articles, along with surname etymologies, state that Marley comes from Sussex, England. If you feel like this is wrong, please provide a source stating otherwise and discuss it on the talk page. Until then, do not revert any further edits as you have been doing. LatinWolf (talk) 10:29, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

I did undo one of your edits because it did not seem constructive; you removed a request for citation without providing any citation. You now claim there are "multiple sources" for Sussex; if so you will have no difficulty supplying one reliable citation. Please do not remove requests for citation in future. Nedrutland (talk) 10:35, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Albert Thomas Marley was English but where was he from?

Registrations of births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales are indexed on line at http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ For the 50 year period from 1837, when the indexing begins, to 1887 (after the approx birth date of Norval), in the County of Sussex there is not one birth of anyone with both the surname Marley and the first name Albert. Now possibly this is because his forenames have been transposed; in 1861, a Thomas Albert Marley was born in the district of Rye.

However in 1851 an Albert Thomas Marley was born in the district of Billericay, Essex and significantly, a Norval Richard Marley was born in Essex in 1847. Albert Thomas appears in Essex in the Censuses of 1861 and 1871 but not 1881.

A website gives further details, including Albert Thomas Marley, b. South Weald, Brentwood, Essex, England, 29 Oct. 1851, d. Colon, Panama, 1 Feb. 1885.

So, it seems that Norval's father was from Essex while his paternal grandparents were born in Rye, Sussex.

Clive

Hello. Without admitting anything, I may happen to know that DBaK has stormed off in a huff after getting thoroughly fed up with this place and is unwilling to participate in anything much at the moment. However I am sure that he or she would be distressed that you'd taken the trouble to leave them a note which might go unanswered for a while. I conjecture that if he or she had seen your note and did reply, they might well have said something like:

1. Thank you very much for the note.
2. Well done with the N&A thing - obviously daft in its previous form; much better taken out as it has no useful refs; if someone wants it back in then I'm sure they can find a ref. :) (ahem, to A not N!)
3. It's interesting to note the story of how that came about, thank you.
4. Yes, Attlee was often known as The Major so it is significant. DBaK may have been right with his/her view that a direct mention of Clem was useful ... or maybe not. it is, after all, only one click away. "Major Clement Attlee" might read slightly oddly - so on reflection you could just leave it! Storm in teacup. :)
5. DYK: I understand that DBaK doesn't know anything about this process - sorry. But he or she might well wish you luck with it anyway, out of a general fuzzy goodwill sort of thing. :)

Heritage Grades

Hi. I notice that you are applying the change from "grade" to "Grade" in some articles. Just in case you get pulled-up over this, I did present a query on which is best at WikiProject Architecture and was advised that "Grade" is the way to go. The article Listed buildings does capitalise it within, not just at the start, of sentences, and this link shows Nat. Her. using "Grade" within descriptions - here. Happy editing.

==A gentle reminder==

Wikipedia:Sock puppetry “The general rule is one editor, one account. Do not use multiple accounts to mislead, deceive, or disrupt; to create the illusion of greater support for a position; to stir up controversy; or to circumvent a block, ban, or sanction.”

Now, should I ask for an investigation of possible sock-puppetry or shall I let it rest?

Main Page appearance: Harold Davidson

This is a note to let the main editors of Harold Davidson know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 28, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 28, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Harold Davidson (1875–1937), rector of the Norfolk parish of Stiffkey (church pictured), was a Church of England priest who was convicted in 1932 on charges of immorality and defrocked by the Church. Ordained in 1903, he worked among London's poor and homeless. Styling himself the "Prostitute's Padre", his declared mission was to rescue young girls he considered in danger of falling into prostitution. In this role he approached and befriended hundreds of women, and although there was little evidence of improper behaviour, he was often found in compromising situations and his neglect of his parish and family caused difficulties. A formal complaint led to church disciplinary proceedings, in which his defence was damaged beyond repair by a photograph of him with a near-naked teenage girl. Davidson then pursued a career as a showman to raise funds for his reinstatement campaign, performing novelty acts such as exhibiting himself in a barrel on the Blackpool seafront. He died after being attacked by a lion in whose cage he was appearing. Later commentators have accepted that however inappropriate his behaviour, his motives were genuine and he did not deserve the humiliations he endured. (Full article...)

Glen Maney

Can I ask why you've indicated that The National Liberal Party are a far right party?

If you check with the electoral commission I have requested a name change and a change of personnel. I have NEVER been a member of The Third Way and was not instrumental in any way in it's formation, it's function or it's ethos. I want a fairer society of people of all colours, religions and sexualities who are proud to be British and live by British laws and whilst actively campaigning against racists groups including the EDL and the BNP, I encouraging people from all walks of national origins to join the party and stand for us. Our membership and support reflects this. The policy document is available on the site and I'd love to hear how it is 'far right'. I'm actually considering whether your amendment was slander and I'll leave that to my solicitor to get back to me on. Kind regards, Glen Maney — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glenfunnyman (talk • contribs) 18:14, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Glen Maney

The article Glen Maney has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The subject is a non-notable comedian and officer of a very small political party. This is a BLP that lacks any third-party sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 22:08, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Third Way

Please discontinue any and all edits of the Third Way page.

Confirmation has been received from both Party leadership, and Third Way delegates, for the version imposed.

If you do not agree with the changes, then follow procedure by contacting the leadership of the National Liberty Party and the Third Way board; until such time as this is done, and the Party agrees to you changes, I will continue to revert any and all changes to the article that you make.

The materials contained within the article on my side are those from the direct membership and leaders of what was then the Third Way committee.

Your constant editing of this page is becoming incredibly tedious, and I do assure you that I will continue to undo such until you give up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.1.42.31 (talk) 02:08, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Christchurch Cathedral

Hi. Maybe we were seeing different things on different browsers. My removal of half a pair of brackets was certainly wrong, but your restoration of it to what appeared to be the wrong place didn't seem right either ... or at least not as I am seeing it! For reference, what I saw after your undo was an isolated right parenthesis on its own line between the "Earthquakes" header and its first line of text, "The Canterbury region has experienced many earthquakes etc etc". What I am now seeing is that the photo caption ends "(note the round rose window)" with the right parenthesis moved to the correct place. Is that what you are seeing also? Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 14:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

True. I read the biography a while back & that of course was written before the wartime files became available: there wasn't much of substance. Rather a tragic story, I think: when he started working for the Japanese Britain was giving them loads of assistance. I'll have a dig about & see if I have anything on his First World War career. I'm surprised that nobody had written this article already.

Warning templates

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Alfred East: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Also helps to block problem users quicker. Meteor sandwich yum (talk) 09:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Greetings... and my mistake

Greetings Nedrutland. Thanks for your note (from last January). I've only just seen it (because you left it on my userpage, not on my talk page) and have acted accordingly. I don't recall the exact reason for having changed the spelling..., but there must have been one (I can't access the references right now due to an IT hitch to check, so I'll take your word for it) because I wouldn't normally modify a diaeresis without good cause.

Again, I'm sure that the original reason for me modifying 'em all must have been a good one, but faced with the evidence, I have no choice but to revert to the default.

Lawrence and Brass Rubbings

In fact the story is true, Lawrence did do brass rubbings as a teenager (?!?!?); maybe that only seems weird from a 21st-century perspective. Marking it as uncited would be perfectly OK though. Tim Bray (talk) 07:38, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Sorry if I am missing the point but I thought NR had removed it because it was a duplicate? It's near the start of the archaeology section, and I would not have thought it needed two mentions. As for it being weird, I dunno - if you google "brass rubbing" you find plenty of current refs to it. It's just that often now churches don't permit original brasses to be rubbed, hence the appearance of centres with reproductions. And it's the 21st century and I am (more or less) alive ... :) cheers DBaK (talk) 09:47, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

DBaK's interpretation of my motives is correct - I removed the sentence because it was covered more fully in the following section - and with a reference - and not from any prejudice against the interest. (As a small boy, I visited many a church with an older sibling who did do brass-rubbing). Nedrutland (talk) 13:25, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

William H. Mounsey

Dear Sir, I understand your correction, but the problem is that in the text a little bit higher is written: Rockcliffe (as on: www.streetmap.co.uk). Why is it than here: Rocliffe? Perhaps because that is how it is done in the Morning Post? See :reference (original) Romeinsekeizer (talk) 14:39, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

While the spelling has now standardised as Rockliffe, the 1877 quotation from the Morning Post has "Rocliffe Hall"; as the quotation marks in the reference should have made clear. Nedrutland (talk) 14:49, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you again. I thought it was possibly a wrong spelling typing that word. Nevertheless on the Streetmap is written: Rockcliffe and not Rockliffe.

Atwell

Dear Ned, you are doubtless correct to challenge this epithet. My only defence for using it is that that is how V Wing himself described Atwell in the title page of the Defence of Astrologie, supposedly written in 1658 and edited in 1660 (a date I have only just corrected from the inherited mistake saying 1668). Here's the 1660 wording: "Written by the Learned and Ingenious Mathematician, Mr. GEORGE ATWEL, late Professor of the Mathematicks in the University of Cambridg; and now published by a Friend, for the publike benefit of his native Countrymen of England. VVhose Preface is hereunto annexed." This is linked to in my footnote giving the title of the Defence. It does appear to be saying that Atwell is a Prof in the University, though 'Professor' might only mean teacher in this case perhaps. You are ahead of me and I must keep up! I suppose Venn's Alumni is the next stop? Thanks for your continuing vigilance, as I am prone to such casual infelicities. Yrs Eebahgum (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. If he had been a professor I thought he should have a mention at least elsewhere on Wikipedia but couldn't find one. I did then look at Venn which only offers "Atwell, George. 'Cantab. de studio et praxi mathematicis non ignobilis': died Sept. 14, 1658, aged 82. M.I. at N. Runcton, Norfolk. Should have matriculated c. 1593-5. (Le Neve, Mon. v. 48.)". Nedrutland (talk) 11:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Caroline Dinenage

Hmmm, I've noticed there's a bit of a problem. I've been going over the sources for the statement that ip has tried to remove twice. Dinenage's site has been revamped, so the supporting information vanished. Normally, I'd just switch out to the archive url, but that's mangled. Annoyingly , I saw the information was there myself. and suspiciously Dinenage's site removed that page almost immediately after a HoC IP address tried to remove it from the article.

It looks to my eyes like someone is very keen to rewrite history, but as it stands we don't have a source for the claim the ip is trying to remove right now. Any ideas on how to proceed? Dolescum (talk) 01:05, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Whether it is correct is for others to judge but my intention was to link to Richard Wesley, 1st Baron Mornington, (who was born Richard Colley); my reasoning being that the spelling of the family's name varied between Cowley and Colley and placing Richard Colley there might be helpful for someone looking for Richard Cowley.

Papal bull

you are not going to get copies of papal bull since chanceries are now strict at releasing copies of papal bull due to possibly plagiarism, especially in social media. we have way too many devotees claiming honors and prestige when there is no proof from Rome that such are designated by the Pope or their prefects. SICDAMNOME (talk) 10:42, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

I did not ask for a bull; however, I would expect the announcement to be picked up in a national newspaper or other Reliable Source. Nedrutland (talk) 10:48, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Papa Westray

Hi Nedrutland. I have removed part of your addition to this article, as it appears to have been copied from http://www.papawestray.co.uk/papay/pw_official10.html. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:03, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

No problem; I had copied it from Triduana, not the source you have identified. Nedrutland (talk) 18:19, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

I thought it might be a Wikipedia mirror, but wasn't sure. If you could please provide attribution when copying within Wikipedia, that would be helpful; in fact it is required by the terms of the CC-by-SA license. At a minimum, you must say in the edit summary that content was copied, together with a link to the source article. For more information on this topic, please see WP:Copying within Wikipedia. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:34, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Edith Cavell Bridge

Hi Ned. I've removed your listing of the bridge from the main Edith Cavell page because it was already listed on the List of dedications to Edith Cavell page. The citation was interesting though and I have transferred that over. There are so many places, schools, roads etc named after Edith that they have been split away from the main page.

East Anglia

I see that you reverted my edit to East Anglia. When intentionally linking to a disambiguation page, the link should go through the (disambiguation) redirect (per WP:INTDABLINK).

Thankful Villages

Ned,

Hi, I have a question, and I am a relative newbie by the way. On Thankful Villages you changed the citation that I put in, from the i newspaper (by which I had meant the printed paper - not sure if that was clear ... should have given page no), to be a hyperlink to a web page of the same material (and with same date) at that newspaper's website. Now suppose that link went dead at some point, this would then be a no-good citation whereas my original citation from the printed paper would have still been good. So I ask whether the link citation is really better than the printed paper citation? Or maybe you assumed it was a just poorly written reference to the website? I realise links are handy for people... maybe there's some way it can show both ? Thanks Malevan (talk) 21:53, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello Malevan, I expanded the citation on Thankful Villages so that for the few that had access to a hard copy of that edition of the newspaper they could still find it but for the rather larger number who had access online they could find it instantly. And while some links do go dead, web archiving generally means the info is recoverable.

There is a lengthy article here - Wikipedia:Citing sources with links to further pages (such as Wikipedia:Inline citation)- which will answer more questions than you can conceive. Nedrutland (talk) 07:34, 21 July 2016 (UTC) OK, thanks Malevan (talk) 19:35, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Pictures

You seem to do a good job finding pictures on commons and adding them to lists of listed buildings. I have not checked if you are active as an editor on commons as well, but if you are (or maybe this would be a reason to get started) I have a request: Please also add the template for a listed building with its number to the picture in question. You find an example of that template at commons:St Michael and All Angels Church - geograph.org.uk - 376117.jpg. That would make the time you spend searching for these pictures extra worthwhile.

First, thank you for your helpful edits!

Second, I am amazed at your patience with your detractors above. I give them a cussing, then delete them.

Third, if we use British English, should we spell out her middle name, drop the period, or drop the initial altogether?

Fourth, I had no idea this morning how interesting she was, I was just filling in some Scouting redlinks. Turns out she's notable in at least 3 ways, and pivotal to the movement. You up for trying for the mainpage "Did you know...?" section?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:27, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments.

Name; what form is she most known by? I would favour "Nesta Maude Ashworth" which is the name on her autobiography.

I would hope to improve it further but, at the moment, I am unsure if we could find sufficient reliable sources for a DYK? The same would go for her friend Rotha who led an even "more colourful" life.

Any idea for when she died? Nedrutland (talk) 12:50, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Article called "Controversies surrounding Robert Falcon Scott"

Dear Nedrutland,

I would like to inform you that I have made some (much needed changes) on the awful article "Controversies surrounding Robert Falcon Scott".

Kensington and Chelsea TMO

Hello Nedrutland,

The blue link which you have inserted into the above named article about Right to Manage for tenants of Kensington and Chelsea council leads to an article about Right to Manage for owners of Commonholds and Leaseholds. A better link would be to Tenant management organisation.

Right to Manage for Tenants comes under "The Housing (Right to Manage) Regulations 1994" which does not have a Wikipedia article associated with it.

Right to Manage for Homeowners comes under the "Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002".

I have changed the link to Tenant management organisation.

I hope you approve.

Budapest Marathon vs Csepel Marathon

Hi, I left a comment on the Budapest Marathon talk page. I know that previously there was a claim that the Csepel marathon was the predecessor of the Budapest marathon, but I couldn't find any evidence of that. I live in Budapest and know many runners, and I also never heard anyone mention that it existed. The Budapest marathon from 1984 was the first "mass" marathon in the city, even if something existed before it, it must've been an elite competition for 20-50 people.

If you're also not sure, then I suggest we remove that paragraph from the page. Also, remove the results prior to 1984, since those seem to be from national championships (again, of elite athletes) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gcsaba2 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Soke of Peterborough

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 193.61.14.20 (talk) 12:35, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

I have posted on Talk:Soke of Peterborough with (further) citations in support of a version of the long-settled content. I note that you have not gone to Talk to argue why it should be removed. Nedrutland (talk) 18:36, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Over-capitalization

Please see MOS:JOBTITLES and MOS:HONORIFICS. A title like duke is not capitalized on Wikipedia except when:

1. Directly attached to a name in conventional form ("Queen Elizabeth II", "President Trump", "John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster");
2. Used as a stand-in for the entire name ("The Queen will speak with the Supreme Leader via teleconference", in reference to Elizabeth II and and Kim Jong-un in particular); or
3. Being the subject under discussion itself, in a words-as-words manner ("Christopher Guest is now entitled to the style The Right Honourable The Lord Haden-Guest).

They're not capitalized in constructions like "a duke of Northumberland", "the baron died in the battle", "some Ottoman emirs"; "three popes in a row died under suspicious circumstances", "how many emperors the Roman Empire had depends on your definitions of both emperor and Roman Empire"; those are all common-noun usage.

Thus, "Trump is the most controversial American president"; "a 14th-century duke of Lancaster, John of Gaunt". Many articles have this wrong and are rampantly capitalizing every title, style, even commercial job title, at every occurrence. They're slowly being cleaned up; the confusion resulted from conflicting language in multiple guidelines which was resolved with the MOS:BIO revision and merger earlier this year.

Your correction of "ended by the Duke of Devonshire" to use "Duke" not "duke" was correct per point 2. That was a silly error on my part.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  14:19, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

MOS:BOLDSYN

Please do not remove boldfacing of terms that are redirects to the article. They're bold because they are, so readers can find what they're looking for and will understand why they're at an article the title of which is different from what they probably expected.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  02:39, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

That "Tutbury bull-running" in the search box would direct there was not obvious and is probably not appropriate. This page, as the title suggests, is specifically about the Stamford bull run. Better to give adequate coverage of Tutbury bull-running on Tutbury (where is no mention of the bull run) or on the generic Bull running. (Possibly MOS:BOLD#OTHER was more fitting than MOS:BOLDSYN) Nedrutland (talk) 06:59, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, but in the interim MOS:BOLDSYN still applies. I'm not sure whether Tutbury or Bull running is the better merge target. It's covered a bit at the latter; I've not looked in detail at Tutbury yet.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  04:25, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

I saw from the edit history that you have worked on the article about Gilad Atzmon. I'm not going to edit anything because it is a protected article, so I will ask you to repair the dead links in the article and find reliable sources to replace them. Thanks.

mismatched images of historic sites

Hi Nedrutland,

I noted your revert. Please be aware that these buildings have been matched on the image page through their identifier. I'm very glad that you caught the mistake, but a revert alone won't cut it, I'm afraid. If you find another of those mismatches in the future of semi-automated edits, please take a look at the image file, and remove the wrong identifiers from the image description. I did it in this case like here. Especially the category and the identifier are important to remove, to avoid future adding of the same file. Unfortunately the tool is unable to detect reverts like yours.

I hope next time you'll be able to help address the root of the problem, and that way we'll manage to avoid some frustrations :) Thanks for your checking! effeietsanders 19:49, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

St Hugh's School

Hi there, do you think it is possible to find some citation for the relationship between St Hugh's School, Woodhall Spa and Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln? There are other [[St Hugh's, and this is a very controversial association to make. I can see that the 'wall and ball' logo might well relate to this, but nevertheless it is very peculiar and personally I would like to know of some firm documentation, early documents from the school's founders or founding for instance.

I did look on-line some years back and did not find a Reliable Source but it seemed plausible when the design of the badge is considered. I doubt that any contemporary school would choose the link. Nedrutland (talk) 13:54, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

George W. Jones

Hey, I see you reverted the Alice Emma addition. Where on earth did that come from? I visited his grave as part of my research for the article (need to dig out and upload the photo...) so I can confirm that Eliza Sophia Ann is the name of his wife who is buried with him. I keep meaning to add more content to the article when I have time–my understanding is that his printing business interests played a role in Watford becoming a centre of printing in the long run. Blythwood (talk) 20:58, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

@Blythwood: In the Probate notice (https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar?surname=jones&yearOfDeath=1942&page=26#calendar ) Alice Emma Jones was mentioned, so I presumed that was the name of the spouse; I then noticed she was described as 'spinster" so realised the executor was his daughter, not his wife. Nedrutland (talk) 21:35, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Great, thanks. I didn't have a copy of his biography to hand so I wondered! Blythwood (talk) 11:52, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

S.S. Arcadian

I see that you reverted my change to the article on the above vessel. It was a very minor change but I believe that it was grammatically necessary. I do understand the convention that ships are called "she" and not it, but "She … that... " does not read very well. You could say something like "She was on the first leg of this voyage when her passengers..." , but my change seemed simpler - and correct. TriodeFollower (talk) 18:45, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Opps!

Sorry that I marked your edit as vandalism. --Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 00:31, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Nobody's Friends

Hello Nedrutland Nedrutland Thanks for great improvements on Nobody’s Friends page. You have shown me how to do better links in future. Great to see someone else taking an interest in developing this article. Despite being a prestigious and powerful club with long history – it had no wiki page until late last year. Perhaps not surprising that its own membership hasn't sought to create a wiki article - it is an organisation which prefers to remain rather secretive.

One question: can you let me know why you removed links to Queen Anne’s Bounty, Church of England, Hackney Phalanx, The Athenaeum in See Also? I’m trying to improve as an editor and it would be helpful to see your rationale. Is it because these things were already mentioned in the article? I’ve never been quite sure how to use the See Also section.

I know more about the Club than is present in the article. For example, how many members it now has and that women are definitely included in membership (don’t know the date when this decision was made). I managed to get some titbits of information from their current Treasurer/Secretary who is one of the senior legal officers in the Church of England. He is not publicly listed anywhere as the treasurer, but I found out from asking Communications at Lambeth Palace. And there are no citations for any information I’ve been given. I’m also aware of a Private Eye article which focussed on the Club – I know as I helped the journalist. But I can’t use that as a citation as PE is subscription only and does not post articles online. One odd piece of information … for most of the Club’s history, members apparently called all the servants by the same name (I think it was James), but presumably this has changed in recent times. Whether this reflected the culture and practice of other Victorian dining clubs and social organisations at the time – I don’t know. Hopefully more news and article references may become available in time. Nobody's has managed to stay under the radar as a forum of some influence. Once again, thanks for your improvements.Joelionheart (talk) 13:17, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello Joe,

Thanks for your comments.

'See also': Yes, it was because those links were already mentioned in the article; "As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body ... " See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#"See_also"_section

I have met elsewhere a succession of holders of a post (maids etc.) all being addressed by the same name by an employer. Nedrutland (talk) 17:21, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

hi Nedrutland Nedrutland, Thanks for your reply. Helpful confirmation on the "See Also" query. I've probably made same mistake on several other pages.

Unfortunately I can't find a link-able reference to Nobody's servants being called 'James'. Thanks btw, for getting rid of all those "then"s on the Allchurches Trust page - they were stylistically awkward and unnecessary. Good to see that page develop also - with eye of an observant editor.
