Errors in Selected anniversaries/On this day
The SA pic today keeps disappearing and re-appearing on my monitor. Not sure why. Does anyone know how to fix this? Hopefully, it's just a problem on my screen, not on everybody's. --PFHLai (talk) 01:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- I can't reproduce any problem with it. I'm not the expert, but I presume your browser and operating system are significant. Also, does it really just disappear when you're not touching the keyboard, or do you mean sometimes it won't load? Art LaPella (talk) 02:33, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- It wouldn't load on a consistent basis. If it's just my PC, don't worry about it. Thanks, Art. --PFHLai (talk) 03:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Errors in Did you know?
Second part of current DYK re. "...and the first paper mill in the UK, were situated on the River Darent in Kent?" appears to be in error; there being no such claim on the River Darent link and, anyhow, this would date to 1495 for John Tate, near Stevenage, Hertfordshire.[1] Regards, David. Harami2000 (talk) 07:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- p.s. Have also added text and reference for "first nail splitting mill in England" on the same DYK. Neither was found on the River Darent page to state that this was so. Somewhat unsure how this DYK made it to the front page; even the name of the person stated to be responsible (and corresponding wiki page) was given incorrectly as Geoffrey Box, not Godfrey Box.
