Disambiguation link notification for September 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Old Greshamians, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FRS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:34, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Notes

Thank you for many corrections, Richardhugh. May I put forward the idea that where you are adding a new fact, as at Andrew Hurrell, a footnote will discourage someone from later taking it out? It works like this: put your note after the fact, something like this: <ref>Rumpole, H. ''The Penge Bungalow Murders'' (Torquay: Radical Criminology Circle, 1969), p. 123</ref> and if it is not there already add at the bottom of the page a {{reflist}} under the Notes or References heading.

You can also *name* a footnote like this: <ref name=PS>Simple, Peter, ''The Tramways and Fine Arts Committees of England and Wales'' (Wharton, Nathan & Simple, 1969), p. 69</ref> and use it again later on the page by adding somewhere else <ref name=PS/>. (I am using <nowiki> tags so that you can read the text to be added and it will not vanish into a footnote.) Your first note will turn out as below. Moonraker (talk) 06:38, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

The arrest of the chief constable and his mother followed within minutes.
